THIS bill passed the House on the
1st inst. by majority Of 1OG and goes
to the Senate where it will no doubt
pass and then be approved by tie
President
Never was there better text fur
nished for AL essay OK lecture on
''p.rty spirit' than this case affords.
1t is better rs An illustration of that
spirit which Washington warned his
cOuntry.nen against, than the McClel-
Ian and Andy Johnson cases. Even
Gen. Grant has been malgnel and
hooted by so-c;,lled Republicans, and
all through that Internal party spirit''
which seeks to condemn and destroy i
man :e moment he dares to differ
from the extremists Of lis party.
In the Porter case, having been once
pronounced Il ''traitoy' during times
"f War and injustice on all sides, it has
taken twenty years to get a calm and
just hearing But it looks now rs
though Il greatly wrenSed soldier would
have the stain removed from his name
80 fur AS an act of Congress CAN do it.
AS for the rest, nothing can make
amends unless there is some law of
compensation which will work to his
advantage in some great hereafter.

The State Beard Of Charities held
their fourth quarterly meeting in St.
Paul last week. The report of Secre-
tary Hart is an interesting document
and gives great deal OF valuable in
formation relating to the criminal, pau
per and unfortunate classes.
We notice that the average cost per
capita for the past year for the poor in
Mobiles county is put ut 1S.9. in Rock
24 l, Pipestone 6s, Murray :, Jackson
1916, Cottonwood 1O.4.
That portion of the report relating to
the New York children is OF special in
terest also to this section. Thus, of
the children under thirteen years of
age, % located in this county, Is are
rep0: ted rs remaining where placed, 3
changed places, and Il are. doing we'll.
Of those who are thirteen and over, ~
In number, 0 remain where placed, Is
changed places, % are gone from the
vicinity, % are doing we'll, 8 doing
badly. OF those of all ages. II in num-
ber, q remain where placed, 10 changed
places, % gone from vicinity, A doing
well, 0 doing badly.
Which shows that children under
thirteen can be controlled and trained
to be useful members Of society, while
over that age they are much more
troublesome and difficult to cont ol.
Worthington' famous railroad map
will have to be changed Il little. Some
of its spokes, particularly that whcl,
represents the Burlington exten sion to
Bismarck, will have to come out. From
present appearances the map would look
much better and tell more truth if Bro.
Miller would use the cut with the base
uppermost The ADVANCE has done a
good deal of blowing, but Luverne has
done the effective work and secures the
prize.-Luverne Herald.
Gracious, how the youngstcr crows
and plumes his tail feathers ut the bare
prospect Of getting branch of the B.
&. n. & n. road. Why, Worthington
has had the main line here for over a
year and Luverne has been getting the
benefit Of it. If Luverne crows 80
Justify at the prospect Of getting a
branch, what shall WOrthington do
which has had the main line, with
trains running for over year? And
why change the famous Hub map now ?
The change we shall make soon, will be
to add few more spokes and put lit
tie dot outside marked, "Luverne, one
of our Hub urbs.'
