Resubmission organs are say
ING that the republican party
owes the prohibitionists nothing
simply because the latter party
nominated ticket of their own
and refused to endorse the re-
publican electors. This is child
ishness on the part Of these re-
submission patriots and is a sort
of a weak excuse for them to
crawl from under The plohi-
bitionists had a perfect right to
nominate Il ticket just as much
right as their republican
brethren. 1t is not u question
as to whether the republican
party owes them anything or
not, it is a question as to which
will do the most good for the
greatest number Of people. The
republican party has declared in
it's platform in favor of the pres
ent prohibition law and any at
tempt on the part Of some Of our
legislators to punish prohibition
lists for not supporting the re
publican ticket will receive just
punishment when they come ul
for reelection next time. The
Courier supported the republi
can national ticket as strong as
any organ in this country, but il
is not narrow-mmded enough to
Want to punish some prohibition

owe no party OF parties a grudg,
but we do owe it to the people tt

The state press is busy agitat-
ing the divorce law question and
many different conjectures are
being put forth as to what the
coming legislature will do with
that law. The last session
changed the time of residence in
the state from 90 days to one
year since which time the law
yers have lost business. as peo-
pie who want q divorce will 90 to
other states whore u 80 days
residence will suffice. Decent
people in this state will fight any
chang" liz the law dis they believe
thai enc year S residence will be
snort enough and thai ~ DAYS, is
indecent and Outrageous. II all
those many questions come up
at the next session u lively time
will be had ut Bismarck this Win
ter. Another Of the many good
good laws on the statute books
that should not be meddled with
is the divorce law.

session OF the legislature from

people would be $1,000 This
is q move in the right direction
and the resolution ought to be

only result in several more bad

What An Old North Dakota Boy

There are Zone Of the new states
that have made Il better record
in recruiting the ranks of Ameri

Dakota newspaper boys. who
first tried their journalistic wings
in North Dakota. Prominent
among them is Joe Mitchell Chap

The democratic party has a
paramount issue on its hands
now that knocks all other issues
silly. The great question of the
hour is what to do for Bryan to
get him out of the way. That
gentleman doesn't propose to get

Some of our state papers are
alluding to the resubmission
movement ;ts a 'hugabOo' and
seems to ridicule the agitation
against such a measure as being
entirely out OF place. That is a
good argument from a resub
missionist's standpoint. but it
would be a mighty poor thing for
those who favor the retention
OF our present prohibitory law
to tie to, with the understanding
that it is simply u "bugnboo. y
There is no doubt whatever out
what an effort will be made at
the coming session to ;snnull the
penalty clause of the prohibition
law, and it behooves every one
in favor of sustaining that law to
use every endeavor to defeat
such Il movement. There is no
''bugaboo" about this and the
law abiding people OF North Da-
llota are not to be fooled by those
papers who are calling it such.
Now is the time to arouse people
to be on the alert.

From 324 illustrations in 1894
to over 1000 in 1900 are the
figures which denote the numeri-
cal growth and development of
the pictorial features in The
Ladies' Homo Journal in six
years. This 400 per cent in
crease in numbers is rather
dwarfed by the fact that nearly
1000 per cent more space is now
given to pictures than six years
ago, and that the quality, or
artistic value. of the Illustrations
has improved beyond compute
ton. A few years ago magazine
making was thought by some to
have attained q degree of per
lection that precluded farther
advancement. but it seems to
have been in its infancy. The
reading public now insists upon
illustration. and in meeting that
damend it is safe to say that the
pictures printed in The Ladies
Home Journal in 1900 exceed in
number. size, quality and cost
those published in all the leading
magazines ten wears ago.
