White House Ordered.
Csterpillars and tree worms have played
such havoc with the immense old elms In the
rear Of the White House grounds, Washing
ton, that orders have been issued by Colonel
Wilson, Of the army. in charge Of public build
ings and grounds, to have number OF the
trees cut down and their roots dug up. Many
of these trees are believed to be nearly 100
years old, and most Of them were planted
before the present White House was con-.
structed. They form grove through which
hundreds of department clerks daily pass on
their way to and from the great State,
War and Navy departments building,
and have been admired by strangers in the
city. who have found them equalled in
beauty only by the famous elms in Boston

made its appearance among them, and, de-
spite the efforts Of Secretary Morton, has
stripped them of their leaves and left them
as bare as pines after forest fire. 20

We are informed on pretty good
authority that if the woman suffrage
bill comes to vote in the house that
it will pass that body but will not
pass the senate. The cause given
for not passing the senate is that the
so called "fuss" between the ingoing
and out going superintendents of
public instruction has so disgusted
several senator's that they have
changed their minds about voting in
favor OF this measure. The greater
part of this "scrap' between the two
ladies comes from our populist news
paper Offices and matter like this
should not be allowed to throw out
of franchise the ladies of the whole
state. We fail to see any good ar
gument against granting suffrage to
the ladies over this little unpleasant
ness between the two superintendents.
Men quarrel and fight every day
over politics, but we do not hear Of
them being disfranchised over it, and
we do not see why ladies have not
the same privilege to quarrel and
fight over politics as the men. Those
senators who are letting this unpleas-
antness warp their judgment are evil

A short time ago the postmaster
at Park River, N. D., refused to let
the mail of the Park River Witness
pass through the postoffice on the
ground that an advertisement in the
paper which stated that three prizes

ing the largest amount ofgoods in a
given time was a lottery ADVERTISE
ment, and the publisher, J. Morley
Wyard, had to take out the ad. and
print his edition over again before
his paper would be allowed to pass
through the mail. The assistant at
torney general OF the postoffice de-
partment has since decided that the

passage where man is directed to leaye
father and mother and cleave unto his
wife and they twain shall be one flesh
That is rs it. should be, and If husband
and wife are Tor should be) so nearly
one. what is the need of more than one
vote for the two? Whatever enters Il
home to disturb this oneness should be
kicked out.
At the last election in Valley City,
where the women voted for Supt. of
Public Instruction as elsewhere, there
were two populists both wishing their
wives to vote for Mrs. Eisenhuth. One
of the women in order to keep peace
in the family voted as her husband
wished, the other said if she could not
vote the way she wanted to she would
not vote at all. Who can sum up the
havoc in the entire state from the same
cause where married women could not
trust their husbands to represent the
family: Some one has said that ''wom-
an is the loviag man" and we believe
she is most attractive in her particular
sphere. That sphere is in the home
where she may reign queen if she wields
her magic scepter, love, SO bountifully
gwen her by an all wise Creator. We
know a lady who has six sons. Now if
this mother instructs those sons in the
right way she is liable through these
rightly instructed sons to cast, in the
near future, six votes instead of one.
Whereas if she and her husband quar-
rel about voting no one knows how the
sons will vote. 1t must he conceded
that if laws are enforced the men must
enforce them. Now if men are negli-
gent about the enforcement of some
good laws (such as our prohibition law
that they themselves make, what will
become Of laws that women make? Let
woman lie admitted as equal or even
superior to man and il the heart is not
right they will quarrel. "Whatever
brawls disturb the street there should
be peace at home" Politics in the
home with double-headed representa-
ton can surely not lessen the chances
for quarrels.
We are glad to find Dad to be a dis
putant who attacks arguments instead
of heaping abuse on the head of his op-
ponent. 1t will please the ladies to
learn of the commotion in the home of
"Greenview' when their champion
stood forth and delivered his broadside.
How the daughter exclaimed That is
just right" the mother good for Dad"

rocking chair and laughed until pain
caught her in the sides. Poor '.us,"
What could we do but join in and laugh.

evening. Nothing of Importance came
up. A resolution was introduced ask
ing for an investigation in the cases of
Senators Buck and Warner, who it was
charged, had misappropriated dollar.
Senator Kerr opposed the resolution ON
the ground that if the Investigation
proceeded it would involve several
other senators and he was not quite
sure but what he would be among the
number. Senator Bartlett said he Op
posed the resolution on the ground that
If an investigation was to be made every
time Warner and Buck stole dollar
the senate would have nothing else to
do but investigate. The resolution was
tabled by strict party vote, all repub-
licans voting aye, democrats and popu-
lists absent and not voting. Senator
Kerr reported favorably on a strict
temperance measure and thought pro-
hibltion should be enforced and made a
strong plea on this line. Senator Graf
thought that druggists ought to be al
lowed to keep a 'leetle suthin'" for
horse liniment. Senator Kerr concurred
and the bill was sent into committee
and will be made special order for next
session. A rumor was current in the

A Reply.
EDITOR COURIER.


In regard to Mr.. Enslin's answer
to Mr.. Almklov, Mr.. Euslin seems to
think it justitiable to resort to any means
how low or immoral they may be pro-
viding it will convict a law breaker.
This may look all right for Pinkerton
detective force, but can preacher that
is supposed to be moral teacher come
out and fatty say that it is right to re-
sort to stratagem, lies and deception,
in order to convict another man of his
sins. Let us look at this a little. There
is nothing like thinking little for our
selves. 1t is not absolutely so because
Mr.. Ensliu tells us so. Was Mr.. Sanders
paid for this work if 50 We would infer
that he done it for the money there was
in it, If so he cannot be upheld by any
moral law as l know of. But for argu-
ment's sake we will admit that Mr.. En-.
slim and one Mr.. Sanders hearts was
overdowiIg with sympathy for his fel-
low men. Had they then moral right
to stoop as low as they did. What can
be meaner aud more contemplate than
under disguise. lie and deceive a man.
1t don't make any difference for what.
A lie is lie, and Mr.. Enslin can't JUS
tify lie under no circumstance. Even
when 1t is done under the disguise of
overhowing love for his fellow men,
and to cap it all, he makes the rash as
sertion that Mr.. Sanders is pure char.
acter. How long has MIR. Enslin known
this man! How does he know that
Sanders is a pure character. He may
have deceived you. Don't make hasty
judgment. Let US see what this man
has done that he is held up as a moral
example 10 the people of Cooperstown.
Mr., Sanders let himself be employed by
Mr.. Enslin to do detective work. He
went in to Alnklov's store, asked for
whiskey. pleading that he was sick, as
Mr.. Almklov would not let him have it
without tprescription. He then went
and procured prescription and signed
a false name to it, and then Went and
got it filled. Not satisfied to lie about
his state of health but also procured the
prescription under false name, was
not particular about his stratagem in
what degree he used it as suppose his
heart was so overdowing with love for
the Cooperstown people that he did not
know just when to stop. Now we will
go further and see what he has done as
a temperance reformer. Mr.. Sanders
goes into the malt joints to do detective
work. OF course he did not have to
have prescription now, he could get all
he wanted. What did he do: Buy one
bottle and 60 out! No, he swears that
he drank one bottle or more at each
place. A fine temperance reformer. II
