George A. Totten to the effect that the presidency of the University of North Dakota had been of- fered Dean Melvin A. Brannon is quite character- istic of the league brand of political ethics. Everyone who knows Dr. Brannon, the most popular educator who ever has been associated with the University of North Dakota, knows be- yond a question of a doubt that under no circum- stances would he accept any appointment at the hands of the outfit which now controls educa- tional affairs in this state. ‘o one, probably, is better aware of this fact that the formerly Rev- erend George A. Totten. but it is typical of league proceedure that as a means of obfuscating the real issues at the university, and with a view to quietly slipping in their own brand of president the-Townleyites should make this insincere play . for popular favor, confident all the while that Dr. Brannon will not call their bluff. North Dakota knows of no man whom it would , rather see president of its university than Dr. Brannon. But, much as it would like to have Dr. | Brannon at the head of its leading educational in-| stitution, North Dakota could not preserve its re- spect for Dr. Brannon should he even consider | this post under circurstances which the Townley soviets have created. And there is no dangerof Dean Brannon’s so: stultifying himself and thereby forfeiting the high: esteem in which he is held by the alumni of the Univer: of North Dakota and the true! friends. «i this institution.

This’ year sentiment appears to have crystal- ized somewhat earlier in the campaign than it did four years ago, but there is no certainty at this moment that either Hiram W. Johnson or Gen- eral..Leonard Wood will be the candidate upon whom the republican national convention in Chi- cago will unite next June. There may be inthe offing a dark horse who during the next few months will develop such strength as to compel his ‘choice as the republican. national standard- | bearer, In North Dakota we hear more of sonanon and Wood than we do of Harding of Ohio, or Lowden of Illinois or Coolidge of Massachusetts, but North Dakota has proven in the past a most un- certain political barometer, and this experience is likely to be reported. So, while North Dakota may , next month express its preference for Hiram ‘Johnson or Leonard Wood, fate will serenely pur- ue its destined course, and when June 8 rolls round no one at Chicago may even’ remember-the name of the man whom North Dakota on March 16 picked as a favorite. An uninstructed delegation to the national con- vention could accomplish much more than one which, on the first ballot at least, will have its hands tied, but some legislative wise-acres have deemed it proper that North Dakota hold presiden- tial primaries at the beginning of each national campaign year, and the farce doubtless will pro- ceed in all seriousness. GETTING ’EM UP This country’s greatest advance, perhaps, has just been scored iui a new solution of the problem of how to wake people up in the morning. “A man’s job ought to get him out of bed on time,” was the crude formula, of course, of the early days. : Then came the alarm clock, with its “continu- ‘ous” and “intermittent” attachments. The next step forward was the use of the tele- at any hour. Now comes an ultra-modern new hotel in New i York with the ultimate. In-each sleeping-room will be installed an auto- matic electric. clock. The guest will set-the clock for the time he,de- sires to arise. In the morning, at the psychological moment, the guest will be stirred from his jslumbers, by the notes of soft musical chimes, which can be shut off merely by pressing a button. Truly, inventive genius is spreading the pe way of life with roses! Many years will pass before Europa’ ‘stops thinking up nice little schemes to persuade Uncle Sam to carry its financial burden. | WITH THE EDITORS. { ie pera il * ii is’ an as rgan- lized workers that he has’a real idea.

It is not in accord with the custom of the congress of the United States to allow any group of men to dominate the activities of that august body. When Acting President Jewel, of the Railroad Brotherhoods, op- enly threatened that unless the entire revolution- |* ‘ary program of the Brotherhoods, including the Plumb plan or some other form of nationalization, was put through by congress, the railroads would “be tied up so that they would not run again,” he made the mistake of miscalculating the temper of the American people; and as a result of the blunder the Plumb plan has been resting peace- fully in the committee pigeon hole, while public sentiment has been quietly but, firmly developing against any form of nationalization of industry. | Mr. Plumb, however, like Banquo’s ghost, will We will simply be confronted with the certainty not down, and he recently started “a campaign ‘that when these menaces are. removed their again backed by union labor and a’ few radical * places. will be filled with others equally vicious, thinkers outside the realm, looking to the final if the sinister power which seems to actuate every “Plumbing” of all industries in the United States. :thought and deed of Mr. Frazier so dictates. ‘North Dakota must strike this thing at its fooled the public.

Dak., Feb. 9, 1920. Pres. Nonpartisan League, St. Paul, Minn. Dear Sir:—I received today your letter asking me to renew my mem- bership in the Nonpartisan league by sending you my check for $18. In re- ply to this I wish to inform you that I am through with your league. /Do you want to know why? Well. T will tell you. Your platform, when I first joined the league was one of economy. You were to save us taxes, instead our taxes have been doubled for state purposes. Last year this county contributed $43,000 to run the state; this year we will contribute $80,000.

Then you have caused to be filled, through your puppet, the governgr, every appointive office in the state with. men of the Stangeland-Totten- Macdonald type, nauseating to every citizen of the state who loves “his country and fair play. You have throttled the freedom of the press by your unfair newspaper law which puts one of your own papers with its “canned” and ‘often times false arti- cles into every county and kills off the little country newspaper whose | No Matter How ; Bad the Complexion Stuart's Calelum Waters Provide the Wonderful Caleium Sulfide that Gives the Skin What it Requires to Prevent Pimples, Black- Distigurements.

When Louig Meyer, president’ of Virginia Pearson Photoplays, Inc. decided upon “The Bishop's Emer- alds” as the first story for his beautl- ful star, he got in communication with ' Grosset Dunlap, the New York | publishers, regarding the purchase of! same. They advised him‘that the mo- tion picture rights were still held by the ‘author, Houghton Townley, but that they would cable him at once. A few days later Mr; Meyer re- ceived word from the publishers that , Mr. Houghton Townley was now a : Captain in the British Army “Some- where in France,” and although many efforts had been made to lecate him they had not been successful. It soy happened that Mr, Meyer had a nephew serving as Lieutenant in the - French whose di pn was quartered w ish in Belgium Mr. Meyer cabled his nephew. ask ing if he could ascertain the where abouts of Captain Townley ‘through the British Intelligence Department, stating reasons fur wanting the au- thor's address.
