PATRIOTIC TEACHING IN OHIO.

Chairman.

Ohio women school suffrage,is also member.

AS there is no session of the Ohio Legislature
this year, owing to the law requiring biennial
instead of annual sessions, the committee can
do nothing in securing the passage of legisla-
tion favorable to their cause; but they can in
augurate an active campaign through Corps and
Posts and School superintendent and Directors,
and create a sentiment that will sweep the
State without further effort.
circular letter issued to the Corps by tho
committee and approved by the Department
President reads as follows:
"The National Womans Relief Corps, having
decreed the Starry Flag of our Union. this
matchless emblem of security and peace, should
float from every schoolhouse in our fair land;
that the colors, signifying so much that is noble
viz, loyalty, purity and steadfastness OF pur-
pose-should receive greater recognition from
both tho foreign and American element in our
schools; and, believing that with principles so
epnobling pinned to their armor, breathed into
each soul and daily life, heroes would come to
us as ready to champion the cause of the weak
and defenselcss as the brave soldiers of '61, and
swear the proud colors should never be trailed
in the dust.

We are in receipt of a leaflet from
the chairman Of the New York state
central committee setting forth Gov.
Levi P. Morton's claims and fitness
for the presidency. The Courier
doubts not that Mr.. Morton would
make very nice president, at the
same time we are of the opinion that
he is by far too old to be elected to
that important position. He would
be apt to become childish in the
hands Of his friends. The country
needs man of younger years in the
presidential chair. Mckinley, Reed
or Davis would fill the bill.

yer in the district that would make !
better judge than DAVID Bartlett.

The Forum hits the nail on the
head as follows: ssIt does not follow
that mans republicanism is to be
guaged by the persistence with which
he has hung around the feeding
trough or the number Of times he has
put himself up tor party recognition.
There are Thousands Of republicans
in North Dakota who have never
held public Office and have not the
slightest desire % to do, who are IN
tinitely more worthy to represent the
party at the national convention than
the politicians whose chief use for
the party is what they can get eut Of
it. II the republican veters are wise
they will select as their delegates
these sturdy business men, the nom
professionals, Who are not interested
in political trades and compromises
AMI bargains, but are prepared to
carry out the wishes Of the people
whom they represent to be loyal At
all times to the highest welfare Of the
party. Throw overheard the clique
Of professional politicians and Office
seekers and be represented by = new
and wsrthier delegation.

Hon. David Bartlett, Of Griggs
county, an able lawyer and a man Of
unblemished record, has been favor.

Judge Of the Fifth judicial district.

in its search for candidate for the
judicial bench and fare much worse.

What we would like to have q
judicial opinion upon is as to the
question as to whether the laws pass
ed by the last legislature and net

is still in force though not compiled
in the new code. How is this any.

The girls of the jamestown Asylum
feel insulted at the remarks made by
correspondents in the Fargo Argus
and have served notice on Col. Irons
that unless he divulges the name Of
his correspondents he will be sued
for libel. The Col. has our sympathy.
1t is bad enough to get one woman
after a fellow let alone fifteen or
twenty. However, the Col. does
not appear to be very much scared at

Ex President Benjauin Harrison
will discuss sThe Presidential Office
very comprehensively in his "This
Country Of Ours" series, in the forth.
coming February Ladies' Home
Journal. He will detail the pro.
visions and methods Of electing 4
chief magistrate, and will have much
to say bearing upon the eligibility oi
4 president for reelection; will give
his views as to the length sfthe pres.
idential term, aud express rather de.
cided opinions relative to the annoy.
ance to which presidents are sub.
jected from Office seekers. The ar.
,icle is practical, based upon expert.
ence and observation, and is very
timely. General Harrison believe.
that the fears Expressed by the
trainers Of our constitution) that til.
power Of the Office is such as to ena.
bic an ambitious incumbent to secure
an indefinite succession OF terms have
never been realized. sIn practice
the popular opinion has limited the
eligibility Of the president to one re.
election. But some Of our leading
and most thoughtful public men have
challenged the wisdom Of the fou,
year term, and have advocated sis
years, usually accompanied with Z
prohibition of a second term. And
unless some method can be devised
by which less considerable part Of
the four year term must be given to
hearing applicants for Office and to
making appointments. it wsuld be
wise to give the president, by extend
ing the time, better chance to show
what he can do for the country. II
must<be admitted, also, that ineligi-
bility to a second term will give to
the executive action greater indepen-
deace. It seems unlikely, however,
that any change in the presidential
term will be made unless some un-
expected event should stir into action
thought that is now Of 4 theoretical
rather than practical cast.

FOR BLOOD AND REVENGE
The Sort of People He Found In a
Garrett and the Speeches
He Heard De-
llvered.

AS 1 entered a strange scene OF jolli-
| ty would have been visible had IL not
been so much obscured by the dense
smoke from numerous pipes and cigars.
The group gathered in that miserable
and dilapidated attic emphasized the
meanness of their surroundings by an
| even greater degree of wretchedness
and coarseness in their own appearance.
Indeed. the word loathsome is scarcely
| too strong a term to apply to these un-
| fortunate beings. for there were few
| faces in the group that were not abso-
lutely repulsive; the gestures and looks
of both men and women were low and
brutal.
Standing on a wooden box in the
center of the group was a keg of beer.
on top of which, stuck into a small
mountain of tallow, was a lighted can
die which threw strange Rembrandt
tesque shadows upon the remarkable
picture. On the slanting roof-wall,
which hung like a canopy over the
group, was pinned up a large piece of
paper, on which was scrawled in char
coal the following legend:
WE ARE WHAT THEY MAKE U.s."
On the wall itself were scratched the
letters S. o. A, with rude imitation
of skull and cross bones beneath.
Pass the glass, you shouted one
of the men, glaring at a woman sitting
beside him, who was trying to balance
a footless tumbler in her hand, mean
while contemplating ii with a maudlin
smile.
iii not!' replied the woman, quickly.
Ugly and degraded as she looked, be-
meath the horrible mask that she wore
there were. still traces of a different
past.
Live up to the rules of your order;
don't be trying to sneak one ahead of
the others, like the capitalistic hog"
she added with a scorn, as she held the
glass aloft out of the reach of the man.
Pretty good for Redhead!" shouted
one of the crowd. Shaping the woman
on the back.
Hands off!' she snapped savagely,
