in full sympathy with the policy of
President Mckinley regarding the
war in the Philippine islands. While
We would welcome the return of our
brave boys at an early day, neither
the people here nor the soldiers there
desire any action that would en-
barrass the government in the right
and proper settlement of the grave
question confronting the nation.
We believe the conflict is being
waged in the interest Of liberty and
humanity and the people of North
Dakota are willing to bear the full
share of the burdens and responsible
ties placed at this time on the
general government"

Canned horse,

Arrangements are being made to
open up large plant in North Da-
kota this summer for the purpose of
curing and canning horse meat.
S. l.. Moore, general freight agent
of the Northern Pacific, returned to-
day from the live stock meetings at
Dickinson, North Dakota and Miles
City. Montana, where the new indus
try was discussed with much interest
It is now proposed to again open
up the Marquis de Mores establish
ment at Medora, and stock COM
pany is being organized at Miles City
Montana to operate the plant.
Horses for slaughter will be brought
from Idaho, Montana and Washing
ton, where thousands are now run
ming wild on the reservations and OF

man offered to furnish 10000 ponle:
from these reservations at ST. pei

lands have agreed to accept stock in
the company in return for horses sc
that a comparatively small amount OF
cash will start the enterprise.

The Reporters Dream.

Exchanges: A reporter on an ex-
change dreamed the other night that
the editor decided to get out a paper
for once in his lie that was entirely
satisfactory. Every item was carried
around to different houses, and if any
objections were made it was killed.
At 4 o'clock the paper went to press
as usual and when the patrons un-
folded it they found nothing but a
blank sheet. The editor slept sweet
ly that night realizing that he had
printed nothing to offend anybody
and that he was for once entirely
satisfactory.

"It is Finished'--She Said.

The formal exchange of the ratifca-
tions of the treaty of Paris took place
at Washington Tuesday, and the war
with Spain is ended. According to
the terms of treaty the Queen Regent
Of Spain was empowered to sign the
treaty without delay, after the decree
dissolving the cortes was issued, and
she Immediately exercised that power.
It is said that as the Queen Regent
signed the document she said:
"Now it is finished, [ have drained
the cup of bitterness to the end"
It certainly does seem that that lady
has had great suffering and mortifca
ton since her marriage to Alphonzo
XII in 1879. And she realized, at
the moment her signature was affixed
to the document that the last of the
Spanish colonial possessions had for
ever gone from her grasp, and that
the fond ambition of many Spanish
ctzens in regard to the future Of
of those possessions was hopelessly
crushed, She must have also realized
that those valuable possessions we're
lost to her conntry soley through the
averice and depotism Of her COVER
ment and officials. 1t surely was a
moment of bitterness, but, unless she
Immediately takes strong measures to
subdue the rebellion at home, the
mutterings of which are daily grow
ing louder, there is another moment
of bitterness coming to the Spanish
nobility, the bitterness Of death at
the hands of their own people, that
will prove more disastrous to the
ambitions of the young Alphonso
than was the deciding away of the
colonial possessions.

Good for Dewey.

II am a sailor,' says Admiral
Dewey, and his meaning goes to the
mark like one of of his eight inchers.
He does not want to be president,
and says: 81 am sailor" A sailor
has no politics. The administration
is his party, and republican or
democrat, it makes no difference. I
am not politician, have never held
a political office, and am totally
ignorant of party intricacies and
affiliations" That is spoken like the

This Rings True.

The following statement made by
Governor Fancher in response to an
inquiry from an eastern paper in re-
gard to the prevailing sentiment in
North Dakota in regard to the return
of their volunteer troops in the
Philippines, is an admirable contrast
to the weak and unpatriotic letter
written to the president by Governor
Lee of South Dakota. and it's SEN

every loyal American of whatever

1t is stated that Judge Glaspell

Under The New Divorce Law.

On the first of July the new law
will take effect, changing the length
of time necessary to establish resi-
dence in North Dakota, from three
months to one year.
Under the old law seeker after a
divorce could establish his or her
residence in three months, and then
proceed to set up the right before the
courts to sue for decree of separa-
ton, on the grounds of being q resi-
dent of the state. The Argus believes
it is good thing for the reputation
of the state that the law has been
changed in this particular. The
short time residence required turned
the attention of th. entire country to
this state, and gathered from the
four quarters all those that had form.
ed unfortunate matrimonial alliances;
this gave the state an unsavory repu-
tation, whether it deserved it or not.
This was not all. The temporary
residence of these people, and the
7eiy common occurrence of divorce
trials, with legal separation in most
cases, together with remarriage of
one of the divorce litigants, often on
the eve of the same day on which the
decree was granted, had demoraliz-
ing effect on the society of the state.
These divorce trials often brought to
light scandals which We're aired be-
fore the public. Almost every day,
here in Fargo, scandals are brought
to light during divorce trials, that are
shocking and demoralizing to the
community. This unfortunate con-
dition of affairs has tendency to
break down the sanctity of the NAL
riage relationship; to cause, especially
the younger members of society, to
treat with indiffence that holy and
sacred compact, that binds together
husband and wife.
That is not all. People who have
lived in the larger towns of North Da-
kota are familiar with the common
occurrence of scandals among mem
bers Of the divorce colonies-especial-
ly has this been true with the female
members of the colony. These scan
dals have been demoralizing to 50
ciety. The blame for these scandals
does not always lie with members Of
the colony. Seekers after divorces
come to the state, often unprotected,
away from their friends, and among
strangers. These people, owing to
their unfortunate martial relationship
and to the fact that they are here for
divorce, expose them to peculiar
and strong temptations. They often
| fall in with merciless ibertines, who
hang around hotels and boarding
! houses, to waylay these weak and un'
fortunate members Of the colony: as
a result scandals are Of common
occurrence.
This is not written to reflect on the
personnel of the divorce colony ir
general, for often the members are
discrete, modest and circumspect il
all their bearings, while temporarily
sojourning here. The only argument
that can be brought forward in favor
of the three months residence are o
mercerary character, and do no
deserve consideration. The Argu
believes that the change in the law il
! good thing for the reputation of tn
