dollars. News of that kind is mighty
hard to believe but the local editors

Another chapter in North Dakota
politics has been brought to a close
Friend Hellstrom, who fought suit
against J. F. r. O'Connor for alleged
breach of the corrupt practice act OF
this state, Las suddenly decided to
have the ca &c dismissed. The reason
for this is oo' ious. Hollstrcrn knows
that he has no leg to stand on 50
decides that tn eeasiest way out Of
the matter is to drop the suit and he
is right. That man should take a
tumble to the fact that he has outlived
his usefulness in the democratic party
of this state and his counsel is no long
er desired. At the Jamestown conven-
ton he was practically alone in tie
opposition 70 the Plans of the demo-
Gratis and he has been out of tune ever
since. The democrats shol!.l now
send him the fowers-he is ready fer
them, right low.
The Kansas City Star truthfully
says: "a statement comes from Sen
ator c. E. Townsend of Michigan en-
titletE "The Truth About New York's
Selfish Opposition to the Great Lakes
via St. Lawrence Deep Waterways
Project" The senator learns that the
terminal charges in New York are un-
duly high, and that its docks equip

of New York to the new deep water
way is based on fear that the new
work would compel the city to look
to its charges and provide better har-
Dor facilities. Well, the west all along
has had suspicion thatNew York's
arguments that the ship canal was i'm
practicable were not wholly disinter-
ested. Sometimes New York does fall
in its altruistic attitude toward the
rest of the United States. We don't
know why, but it does"
For the first time in a number of
years North Dakota has gotten by
without any serious troubles from the
"wobblies," in fact around here we
have had no real trouble at all We
think this is due in large measure
to the fact that Gov. Nestos and the
attorney general have taken a firm,
stand against countenancing any dis
turbance from those birds. In the
past under the Frazier regime, these

of the governor and his colleagues
with a result that these wouldbe dis.
