A wild Yearninc for pochets.

European papers have had q great
deal to say about Miss Mary Poe, who
recently died in Vienna and whose &C.
centricities caused even the Austrians to
hold up their hands. 1t seems that
Miss Pope's most noticeable "eccentrici.
;ty" was wild yearning for pockets.
She had them all around the hem Of
her dress and used them for various and
startling purposes. In one she carried
her lunch and in another her dinner;
tho third secreted salt cellar, while
knives, forks, towels and medicine bot
ties found convenient resting places.
Men may think that all this is funny,
but women who wear bell skirts will
have nothing but words of praise for
the departed. Moreover something has
to be done for them, and it is very pos
sible that they will be forced to follow
Miss Poe's example

DEVICE FOR CLEANING WASTE PIPES.
This invention is especially designed
to relieve the agony of those persons
suffering from stopped waste pipes,
whether it be the wash tub, sink, wash

cup is arranged on the end Of the
handle; the cup is made of rubber and
has fange above it to keep 1t from
turning inside out, like an umbrella in
q gale. Water is run into the vessel to
be cleaned until it is about four inches
deep. The cup is then put over the
pipe, and pressure exerted on tho
handle forces the water under the cup
into the pipe.

inson school board dismissed John d.
Campbell as principal of the schools,
alleging incompetency, neglect Of
duty, intermeddling with matters
outside of his school work. Mr.
Campbell, who has a written contract
with the board for teaching the
winter term of school, took an appeal
and had his hearing before County
Superintendent Stickney on Thursday.
In opening the cas- Superintendent
Stickney said he wanted to get at the
true facts Of the case, and should
admit Of any evidence which he con.
sidered to have a bearing on it. Our
columns are too crowded this week to
admit of publishing a brief of the
testimony, which was neither sensa-
tional or startling.
There is this much, however, about
the case, if Mr. Campbell does or
does not prove his contract still in
force, the schools have been most Sc.
riously injured as a result from the
strife which has come up, and this
a be traced back to Mr.. Campbell's
holding the secretaryship of the Law
and Order League of Dickinson, which
society is the legitimate outgrowth of
the prohibition move here. And
what we blame Mr.. Campbell for, and
the only grievance we have against
him, is his having accepted a position
in our schools as principal, knowing,
as he did, all the feeling, pro and con,
here over the liquor question, and
then take a position which would
draw the public schools into the
muddle. 1t is like Adam and his ex-
perience with the apple. Some may
have sought to take advantage and do
Mr.. Campbell an injustice, but he was
not called upon to sacrifice principal
or honor to have saved this trouble.

Does Not Favor High Lie ense.

REEDS LANDING, MIMI, Feb. l, '92.
Mn. EDITOR-In a recent issue you
seem, for certain reasons given, to
favor high license to a prohibitory
law. 1 am living in a high license
state, but have a deep interest in the
welfare of North Dakota, and es.
pecially in Stark county, and would
consider it a calamity if the people of
North Dakota should eyer return to
license, high or low. When the state
places its price on the saloon in the
shape of a tax, and the saloonkeeper
pays the price, the state and the
saloon are nicely hitched together for
a drive towards perdition. Having
paid the tax the liquor dealer al defy
the man who would prevent sale
within legal hours to persons of adult
age. 1t is this fact that makes the
license system so odious. 1t was this
fact that made Hon. Neal Dow the
staunch prohibitionist he is. Fifty
years ago a near relative of his who
had married a promising university
professor, came to him in deepest dis.
tress seeking his help to save her
husband, who was fast becoming a
dipso-maniac. One day she sent her
little girl to him, a bright child,
whose eyes were red with weeping,
beseeching him to go at once to the
rumseller, whose saloon was a special
temptation to her husband, and who
was then in one of his drunken fits, to
beg him to sell him no more drink.
Neal Dow went, but the man drew
himself up and said, 81 hold a license
from this state to sell liquor; if any
man will pay for it / will sell him
liquor; it's my business, and 1 mean
to sell liquor" Said the general:
"My blood was up; 1 thought of that
broken-hearted woman, and her gifted
husband wallowing deeper than the
brutes, and l clenched my fist and said
to the rumseller, God helping me, I'll
live to see the day when it will not be
possible for you or any other man to
hold a license to sell liquor" And
he has lived to see it. The Maine
law makes it impossible to be defiant
or even open. He has no legal status.
In such cases the state is not a par
taker of his sins. He is an outlaw.
If he will sell whisky he must crawl
into a rathole in the cellar to do it.
His traffic is disrespectable, a nuis-
ance, a crime, and prohibition makes
it SO. 1t ought to be SO everywhere.
If 'the common use to which liquor
is put is a curse to the land" as the
PRESS truly says, license, high or low.
cannot make it anything else. Liquor
is a curse to any state or community.
License is the powerful arm of the
government binding the curse on its
helpless victims. God save our land.

CAN it be that a good prohibition

profession, if he were true and of
good sound reasoning faculties, con-
scientiously write a sensational cpl.
sode of this kind! We say no. 1t
hurts the cause for which it purports
to have been written, and is a good
