MEETING OF THs S. P. c. C
ROUTINE BUSINESS TRANSACTED
AND REPORTS WHAT
THE MAMA CEMENT SAYS.


AT THE regular moulhly meeting of
the S,elety Prevention OF Cruelty t.
Chi.Gien, routine business was trans
acttd and presentation OF reports
made
The management says: Some OF the
cases reported by Agent Stout have
mere than a passing interest for the
managers. The cases in which facts
are palticularized are no longer looked
at as purely impersonal. but mean that
such and such an entlty-sloh and
such an individual--is under consider
alton, and that all the circumstance
which led to the Intervention OF the S.
p. c. c. are passed in review. The
childs age, It's past record, the influ-
ences at work In it's home and in its
behalf-all these and much more are
carefully weighed-the good OF the
child and the protection Of society be-
ing the chief ends in view
A case, among the forty disposed of
last month, wes that Of a boy II
years of age. who began his youthful
depredations at the age of Z years APP
parent.y in the boys career, there
have been few spasm's of virtue and
those have been Intellectual. At pres
ent. at II gears or age, he has just
made his escape from a Catholic pro-
tectorate in which he had been placed
by the agent OF the S. p. G. G.
So far. he has successfully eluded
deteltion. and there can be no doubt
in the mind of anyone, but that such a
bcv should be carefully safeguarded.
The question arises. Whose busi-
ness Is &c to rescue this boy from a life
Of aimleesness. If not of actual crime?'
The S. y. G. c. considers it pre-emi-
nenfly its business to take the first
step in this direction. and holds to II
that no greater cruelty can be inflicted
upon a child than to permit him to in
duige. unrestrained, in crime.
FmphbticaIY. the S. p. G. c. is in
line with other etate and county insti-
tutions that owe their origin to the
social conditions which find some chill
dren pocr some Unused and some
with pronounced criminal tendencies
The state will only do its full duty
toward these unfortunate ones. when
they are Alternately provided for and
when the S. p. c. C-the authorized
agent Of the rstNte-is enabled to do its
work with efficiency

A MANITOBA POLITICIAN.

Regarding prohibition Hon. Mr.. Lau.
zon. in the Manitoba legislature, said
1--WE ought to take a lesson from North
Dakota. l lived near Pembina when
it was a good license town: Now under
prohibition there was more liquor sold
than ever and all the best men in that
city has died of drink"
Mr.. Lauzon having held up Pembina
as a terrible example Of a hard drinking
psohibition town had better keep out of It
the next ten years. He has laid aninsult
at the door of every. man still alive there,
for has he not told US that all the best
men have died from drink.-Winnipeg
Tribune. I
We do not know;&ho Mr.. Lauzon is
or what his polaicsaare, but Mr.. Lauzon
states as poslBs htt' that all the bes,
men Of Pembina have died from drink,
and that there is more liquor sold now
than in license days. There are two
kinds of liars; one kind states as true
that which he knows to be false, and the
other states that to be true which he
knows nothing about, and for which he
has no proof. We are not certain which
class the Hon. MIR. Lauzon belongs to.

SOME MORE KICKING.

The editor of the Cavalier Chronicle
uses full column of argument to prove
something about the editor of the P1oN.
EER EXPRESS, and incidentally little
something about county-seat removal.
Brother Unfairchild's principal kick this
week, outside Of a general personal dia.
tribe is, that we selected two of his re.
markable statements and placed them to.
gether. He asserts that we selected par.
ticular sentences apart from the rest,
forgetting we printed the prospectus
in full the week after he published it.
He further argues however that the two
paragraphs agree perfectly. Well, why
kick then because we publish them?. II
the Central location" is Cavalier and
that central location is the choice and de-
sire of the other towns. as we have said
before, Cavalier has an easy task and it
is foolish if it don't 60 ahead. On the
other hand, if the other towns don't
agree in their choice of a central location
with Mr.. Fairchild, then Cavalier will be
equally foolish in attempting an impossi-
bility, which will only serve to bury its
last hope OF getting the county seat,
unless indeed, Hamilton, Glas,ton,
Bathgate and the rest Of the towns agree
on the doctrine as given forth by Mr..
F.,irchild, to.wit: There is but one
central location in Pembina county for

While large number of individuals

1t is using the principal tor expense ac-

A continuation of this sort of expendi-

NEWSPAPER CANDIDATES.

NEWSPAPER CANDIDATES.
1t strikes us that some of our editorial
brethren are like wicked boys who catch
stray cats and throw two or three of them
into an empty barrel or box just to hear
the scratching and caterwauling. So far,
the newspaper presentation of the names
of candidates for various state positions
has had, or will have, about the same
effect as tying tin can on dogs. tail.
Sooner or later the candidate goes "re-
verberating down the aisles of time. "
same as the Dutchman came sliding
down the roof like h and der duyvel. /"
There's no hoodoo more effective to a
candidates hopes and ambition than a
newspaper nomination about year or
nine months previous to convention time
1t simply puts him in position as a
mark to be fired at-and long time to
certainly with mud, perhaps with a
rifle ball; and 1t is easier for poor candi-
date to go through the convention like a
needle than for really good man to
enter by the newspaper gate-and his
own newspaper, if he has one, is the
worst gait of ali to travel to get there.
It's mighty seldom that newspaper can
didates survive Ill North Dakota politics,
and if one does survive, it's because the
candidate is beyond reproach; but the
newSnaDer Teller saws if'S hecause G.,.,e
brought him out" Which makes us think
of similar occurrence common to next
weeks holiday, when quite respectable
gentlemen may be seen walking down
the street with newspaper pinned to
their coat tail. Only in tue EDITORS case
he thinks the gentleman is pinned to the
paper, but the public smiles at the con-
nection just the same.

SPANISH LOSS HEAVY.
Reported That Three Hundred Spaniards
We're Killed Mt B0mbArdment OF Glen
fuegos-Several Hundred Wounded.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 20. The Span
ish loss during the recent engagement
at Cienfuegos is now known to have
been much heavier than at first re-
ported. Three hundred Spaniards
were killed and several hundred
wounded. Great damage was done
along the coast. Soon after the en-
gagement the United States cruiser
Marblehead picked up several Cubans
in an open boat some miles down the
coast. They reported that the Span
ish losses and the damage wrought
by the shells from the warships were
very heavy. The hospitals at Glen
fuegos they said, were full OF wound
ed, and fear prevailed everywhere that
the American warships would return
to complete the work of destruc-
ton. During the engagement the
Marblehead threw 45O five-inch
shells into the Spanish forces
and 700 shots from her secondary
battery; the gunboat Nashville as
many more shells and 1900 shots from
her secondary battery Fifteen hun.
bred Spaniards were stationed in an
improvised fortress on neck of land,
