From this list the Washington bicentennial committee will select that mother whose quali- fications best entitle ‘her to the honor. Mrs. Sabin is a granddaughter of ‘William Treat, Revolutionary patriot, who with his eldest son fought in Washington's army throughout the ‘War for Independence, and she comes from a long line-of..sturdy pioneer folk, staunch supporters of this na- tion for almost two centuries. Born Feb. 6, 1839, in Sandursk, Cattaragas county, New York, the birthplace also of her father, John C. Treat, Mrs. Sabin was one of a large family. Her mother was Harriet M. Mason, born in New York state in 1817, who died in 1914. Time has dealt kindly with this “eldest mother,” for while she has lived nearly a century, she has the appearance of a woman of not more than 65. She reads and sews without glasses, keeps her home spotless, cooks and does other housework and still finds time for church and com- munity activities. Her mind is clear and she does not live in the past. Her blue eyes are kindly and her silvery hair frames a face beautiful with a lifetime of*service ‘for her family and her community. Mrs. SaDin’s husband was Rufus B. Sabin, and their marriage took place in Sparta, Wis., in 1863. They lived in Sparta until 1885 when they moved to Bristol. To them were born six children, four of whom are living. They are Mrs. C. A. Finch, James- town, William H. Sabin, Pullman, rash., Geofge C. Sabin, Grants Pass, Wes and Mrs. Grace Pierce, La- Moure.

Not a single editor has expressed himself as favorable to capital re- moval, although one or two have adopted a noncommittal attitude and some have said nothing at all. M. I. Forkmer, publisher of the Cavalier Chronicle and secretary of the North Dakota Editorial Associa- tion, likes the way Bismarck has con- ducted its campaign and advises his Teaders to “Vote No.” He ignores the factual arguments! advanced by both Bismarck and Jamestown by the assertion that “fig- ures don’t lie but they tell conflict- ing stories” and then gives it as his opinion that the capital should be kept at Bismarck because to change it “would be a backward step.” He recalls that the capital location was fixed by the constitutional convention and approved by the people, and then asks, “Isn’t that enough?” The New Rockford Transcript em- phasizes the fact that many James- town leaders are opposed to the re- moval movement as one which event- ually will harm their city and com- ments that Percy Hansen, editor of the Jamestown Sun, had a “hemorr- hage . . . over something somecne had done to the logical capital city secretary down there.” It advices, “take it easy, Percy. Hemorrhages too frequently indulged in sometimes prove fatal—and there may be occa- sion for many of them before March 5.” The Portal International predicts victory for Bismarck and comments that “Jamestown has the state hospi- tal for the insane and that alone should be sufficient for one city.” It advises its readers to “Vote No.” ‘Native Son’ Speaks The Sanborn Enterprise at San- born, Barnes county, takes pleasure in the “public repudiation of the cap- ital grab movement by a number of representative business and profes- sional men of Jamestown.” The cd- itor describes himself as a native son of Jamestown but favors'a policy of “live and let live” and expresses Pleasure that some of Jamestown’s citizens “have not allowed greed to cloug their sense of justice and fair- play.” The Hope Pioneer expresses the opinion that a large majority of the People of the state will vote to keep the capital at Bismarck and asserts tne Jamestown cause is hopeless. The Hazen Star says Bismarck will win by a landslide but tells its read- ers, “Don’t let that keep you from g ing to the polls and voting No.” Col menting on the division in James- town, it lauds Dr. B. H. Kroeze, pres- ident of Jamestown College, for his stand and, says of “Editor Percy Han- sen,” that “we would place him on the left, or the asylum, wing.” The Flasher Tribune asserts that capital removal “would be a slap in the face to the sturdy pioneers of our state’ and that “it is absurd for Jamestown to expect any votes in this section. If you do not want the gapital at Jamestown vote NO on the proposition.” The Gascoyne News says of the Jamestewn removalists, “these would- be racketeers have as yet advanced no argument for removal that would benefit anyone but themselves” and Stresses the fact that the Jamestown campaign is one to “hoist a big ex- pense onthe taxpayers. Will Carry Crayons The Hazelton Independent says the capital removal fight is getting non- sensical and that “voters, on March 15, will march to the polls lugging great marking crayons so that they can vehemently make such a large, black cross opposite that word ‘NO’ that the matter of removing the cap- ital will be settled for all time.” The Glen Ullin News asks: “Why should the capital be moved away from a section of the state which is surely destined to become & region of greater industrial development as the years pass, to say nothing of the almost untouched agricultural possi- bilities of the present and immediate future.” The News also expresses the opinion that in the next genera- tion “mere people will be traveling Bow Knots In Style NEGRO CONGRESSMEN and 21 representatives who have | Tree, film actress, wi shown wearing street, with Miss Madge Runey as| served in the United States congress a brown and white polka dot with hostess. since adoption of the Constitution. | crown wool sult, apolis to Have High Hotel EDITORS CONTINUE |[__Minnespotis to Have Construction plans for a 45-story tower that will give the Northwest | the highest hotel structure outside of Chicago have been announced by the | Curtis Hotel company of Minneapolis as its avowal cf faith in future pro-. gress of this section of the country.

A large and enthusiastic audience was on hand to greet the players and each number was well received. The opening play, “What's What,” A Swedish American comedy di- rected by Mrs. C. D. Dursema, was distinguished by some amusing Swed- ish dialect in which Miss Dorothy Parsons and F. A. Bartron figured. The play has to do with a family whose chief claim to fame was the jamount of bric-a-brac in the living room. Between this play and the follow- ing one, a group of junior high school pupils appeared in a black face skit. |Taking part were Evan Lips, Melvin McLaughlin, George Brynjuldson, | Violet Olson, Marcia LeRoy, Laura Ellsworth, Peggy Whittey, Willis |Newton, George Dohn and Hugh jLongmuir.
