is doubtless true that an ambassador. does occasion
ally retain his position in a foreign capital after the
government which he represents has disappeared,
but one would suppose that this status would be
temporary, and would BE permitted to exist only
pending the settlement of affairs in the ambassa-
doris country, with either the restoration Of his gov
eminent or the establishment of another which
would either continue his services Or proceed in a
regular way to appoint his successor. ss.
1t would seem that this arrangement must be
terminated in less time than has elapsed since the
fall Of the old Russian government. That govern
ment is so definitely out Of business that there is
no prospect of its reinstatement, and the present
status Of the former ambassador is that Of a repre-
sentative with nothing to. represent. There is a
possibility, of course, that even under existing cir
cumstances MIR. Bakhmetcf has continued to per-
form certain duties, and that his position is.a real
and not a fictitious one. 3

JUDGE NuEssLE.

The$career Of District Judge Nuessle, who is a
candidate for a position on the state supreme bench,
is a striking example of the orderly progress ana
logical development which are possible under Amer
lean institutions, and which are so especially admir-
able when associated with the judicial system. 4.
w. L.. Nuessle, although born in another state,
is a product OF North Dakota, for he was brought
to this state in early CHILDHOOD and has remained
ever since, participating in the work OF the common
wealth and contributing to its development. : His
boyhood was spent on a farm in Grand Forks coun-
ty. He attended the local public schools, and later
the state university. He was a good student, a
ikeable fellow, a normal, human chap who made a
creditable record in his class work, stood well with
his classmates and whose future was regarded with
hope and confidence by the members of the faculty.
Entering into the practice OF law IN Mclean
county young Nuessle won recognition as a man OF
character and ability. and for several successive
terms he filled the office of states attorney. Hav-
ing served creditably as an apprentice and a jour-
neynnan workman he was promoted to a higher po-
sition in the craft by being elected district judge,
which position he now occupies.
abundantlyz demonstrated his fitness for a judicial
position. His decisions have been clearly reasoned,
and have stood the most rigid inspection. In no
case has he given evidence of bias or partisanship.
He has proceeded on the theory that it is the BUSH
ness of the judge, not to make law, but to interpret
and apply it, having regard only to the constitution
and the statutes prepared in accordance Herewith.
Judge Nuessle now presents himself as a can
didate for a supreme court nomination. He. has
earned this aprofnotioa by honorable service.andtth
people of the state need, for their own safety and
security, the services of just such men on the su-
preme bench of the state.

SENATOR GRoNNA.

News of the death of Hon. A. J. Gronna, former
representative in congress and United States sena-
tor from North Dakota, win shock thousands ofres-
idents of this state, as we'll as acquaintance else
where, for, while it was generally known that Mr..
Gronna's condition was such as to give his friends
great anxiety, he had so recently been actively en-
gagged in business, and had voluntarily entered upon
a political campaign such as must tax the endurance
of a strong man, that few realized the extreme grav-
ity of his condition.
Mr.. Gronnas life story is one which closely
parallels thousands of other stories of American
youth and manhood. His parents were immigrants
who had come to what they hoped would prove for
them a land of opportunity. He was reared in a
pioneer home in the then new west. He experienc-
I'D the %hardships common to a pioneer life, and he
shared the advantages which often grew out of
those very hardships, for they tended to develop
courage, industry and self-reliance. Step by step
the young. man hewed out his own path, making the
most of the opportunities which presented them
selves, and making new opportunities as he went
along. AS farm lad, student, school teacher. farm
er, merchant, banker, he applied himself diligently
to the task before him. making the thorough per-
torrance OF one task the preparation for the next,
until he had become a man of means and a domi-
nant influence in the community where he lived.
MI. Gronna's political activities are recent and
we'll known. He became ascongressional candidate
in a time Of political storm and stress when con-
tests among factional leaders developed much of
bitterness and left wounds which were slow to heal.
As an active participant in these contests he enlist
staunchly by him and aroused antagonisms which
can now endure no. longer. His earnestness, his in
dustry, his thoroughness and his business ability
have been universally recognized, and those who
have at times. differed from him politically will
share the sorrow causedEby his death.
