TRUE tp REpuE11ClN1sM.

The Park River Gazette Witness
wants man nominated by the re-
publicans for governor "whose re-
.publicanism is of the surest type"
The choice of the journal for this
position is Hon. Chas. A. Pollock Of
Fargo.
While upon this subject of party
faith, would it not be we'll for the
Gazette Witness to define anew just
what is meant by ssrepublicanism of
the surest type" In these days of
general doubt and uncertainty as to
what is the hest craftsmanship for
the welfare Of the whole country,
it is we'll to know where we stand
and what really simon pure re-
publican is, and who says he is.
Is it true republicanism to simply
denounce the democrats and take
cheap advantage of the natural
odium which the administration has
produced? or to ridicule populists:
and to offer nothing practical or
sincere as reward for voting the
republican ticket:
Is it true republicanism to simply
want to beat the democrats. obi
terate the independents and get the
republican leaders into fat offices,
and give nothing to the taxpayer
but a pat on the back? Or is it true
republicanism to nominate a man
like Pollock, whose chief claim for
preference is his advocacy and
leadership of the prohibition cause?
Such questions are certainly per-
tinent in these early spring days,
and ought to be clearly answered
before the heat and noise of cam
paign is felt. The Gazette w illness
belonging to the few independent
thinking republican newspapers of
the state, is we'll equipped for
answering in good faith the ques-
tion-'What is true republican
ism?''-Jamestown Alert.

the way he fooled the board. But it

The Unruly Placket.

The trouble is that one needs either n
constant pier glass or a<loublc mirror to
ecc the buck Of ones gown, ana that is the
reason we go about the street making spec
toclcs of ourselves, with untidy, gaping
placl.cts. We mean TO do right, and we
trust TO pins and to faithless hooks, and
then we go wrong all unknowingly and
present as varied an aspect as the god of
war, since we are visions of lovoliness
when we approach friend and figures of
fun when we arc going from her.
Truth to tell, the unruly placket needs n
drastic remedy. Pins won't do, not even
safety pins, and hooks give way, and
metal eyes drop off in times of need. But
tons might solve tho difficulty, but they
would be clumsy. The best thing SO far
