GOD BLESS THE WOMEN.

In the aftermath of gossip abou
the election in Greater New York
we find it stated that the women o.
the metropolis did much to bring
: about the happy result of Tammany't
defeat. They raised many thousand
dollars distributed hundreds o1
thousands of ciculars and their per.
sona1 influence to setting the mon
right. Senator Depew is quoted as
saying that the beneficent influence
of the women cannot be overestima-
ted. They took the stand they did,
not from motives of partizanship,
but because they desired to prevent
the spread of vice and save the
youth of the city from the corrupt
ing taint of the Tammany sway.
The work done by the women of
New York proves that the sex can
be potential in politics without the
ballot. The reputable men of any
community will not depart widely
from the path of political rectitude
and civic virtue when the attention
of their womenfoik is concentrated
upon the issue at stake, especially
that issue involves the protection of
the homes. The wives and mothers,
sisters and sweethearts do not usual
ly attempt to dictate to the men of
the family how they shall vote, but
when they clearly perceive, as they
did in New York, hideous cloud of
immortality gradually enveloping
the whole civic life their instincts
which are accounted more unerring
than mans logic in respect to all
forces that make for righteousness
or the reverse, prompt them to their
duty and make them fearless in per-
forming it. No community will
ever hbe lost so long as it has 1nul-
titude of good women to stand as
guardians and mentors over the
men in a crisis which involves the
vital principal of good government.

STATE LABOR BUREAU INVEST
IGATING EVENING
LABOR.

st. Paul, Nov. 1.-The Minnesota
state labor bureau will make this
winter special investigation of the
early closing of retail stores. This
will be the first investigation of the
kind attempted by any state labor
bureau.
Circular letters have been sent to
large numbers Of retail merchants
and retail clerks throughout the
state asking for suggestions as to
the investigation. 1t is intended to
send questions to employers and to
employees, setting forth fully the
conditions with regard to keeping
retail store open evening, and the
benefit or injuriess resulting to en-
ployer and employe.
Most of the stores in the large
cities now close every evening ex-
cept Saturday, SO the investigation
will be directed especially to the
stores in smaller towns and more es-
pecially to the question of closing
Saturday evening also in the larger
cities The question of Saturday
afternoon closing during the sum-
mer aftern oon closing during the
summer will not be included:
The replies to letters already sent
out are by the department with in
terest, as they will show the feeling
of those directly affected, and may
contain valuable suggestions as to
the investigation.

BREWERS HAVE BENEFITED
BY THE POLICY OF
EXPANSION.

julius j. Engel, general travelling
aren't for the William J. Lemp Brew
ing company, of St Louis, who an
nualy makes trips into the north
west, arrived in Sioux City last
evening and is q guest of Charles
Seller and Otto Seizer.
II believe the brewing companies
of this country have had a very
prosperous year, Mr.. Engle said II
answer to q question as to how busi
ness in his line was. 1.-THE opening
to us of trade in Cuba, Porto Rice
and the Philippines has wonderful
ly stimulated the brewing business
This is true Of our business all Ovel
the country. I know that with the
Lemps company we have sent sales
men into all of these new countries
with the result that our bottline
business has been increaed by rs
per cent. Why, our Manila man
one time this summer sent in an
order for 100 car loads of bottled
beer. Our new distributing points
in the orient are Manila, Hong Kong,
Chin Foo and Yokohama.
"Up to this time we have shipped
no keg beer to the orient,' Mr..
Engle said. Beer in keg packages
will not stand the racket of the long
sea voyage without the infusion OF
a considerable quantity of saicylic
acid, and it has not yet been record
ed that this is very good thing for
the stomach.
$50, it may be seen," Mr.. Engle
added in conclusion, ''that these
foreign orders have had the effect of
draw wing heavily upon our botting
department. All brewers who fill
foreign orders have been compelled
to increase the capacity of their
plants. A new. bottling house,
which covers one entire block, and
which cost $3.50, 900, has been built
to take care of our new 'imperial"

WHY RIGHT HNDED.

Why are men, as rule, right
handed7 Many theories are given
in answer. Some suppose that right
handedness has become hereditary
that in course Of long years of
only partial employment, the left
hand lost it's cunning. Against this
theory, however, it is pointed out
that almost all infants are at first
left handed, and for a very simple
reason. In the ordinary way, q
mother or nurse, unless lefthand-
ed, carries a baby with its hand
against her left side, and with it's
right arm next her. The baby.
consequently puts out it's left hand
/ toteerasp hiecht1ad: rgEpws upel left
handed until disabused of the habit
by subsequent education. How
often does one hear fond mother
saying, Fright hand, DEAR" to a
child who puts out a left in greeting,
or or who prefers to use it's left
hand for holding a spoon or a
knifel Many wise doctors now ad-
wise mothers to allow their children
to use either hand without any
preference.
Sir James Sawyer, NJ. D., has
probably hit upon the most plausi-
BILE reason for the right handedness
of the human race. In those early
days, he says, when those might
take who had the power, and those
might keep who could, we we're
fighting people, and a people who
fought hand to hand. Naturally in
this kind of fighting, it is not con-
venient to WELD weapon which
can be used by one hand only, leav-
ing the other hand and arm free for
preserving balance, for defensive
covering and for offensive seizure.
Now the right hand would natuarl-
ly be used in preference to the left
for welding a weapon in order that
the heart might be kept as far as
possible from the assault of all aver
sary. Hence, right handedness
arose, and was passed on from father
to son. Moreover, when men first
fought together in companies, they
must soon have found that it was
most convenient to handle their
weapons in uniform way. If some
in a fighting company were right
handed, and others we're left hand
ed, their weapons would be con-
tinually clashing. Whether drilling
or fighting, the mon would need
more pace for welding their
weapons. If, on the other hand,
each man used his sword or his staff
with the same hand as his neighbor
employed, confusion would be mini
mized, and symmetrical appearance
would be given to the martial body.
So it may be inferred that from the
earliest times custom and c0nven-
ience have had most to do with the
preferential use of the right hands.
It is unfair to the left hand to argue
that it suffers from any physical
disability: because man usually gives
most Of his fine work to tho right
hand. This, il shown >3<of the tact

MUST BE CAREFUL WITH FLAX
CROP.

The important inseed oil interests
at Minnesota Transfer are facing
what their representatives terms
the possible danger of being COM
PEELED, after limited pebiod of
years, to abandon the fax crushing
industry in the Northwest because
Of the tendency of farmers to over
production. This tendency, when
continued several years, breaks
down the market prices on fax and
leads to the abandonment of the
crop the extinction of supply. A
representative a leading mill said
last night:
Minnesota and North Dakota
farmers may we'll bear in mind that
their flax crops will prove a golden
investment of judicioulsy handled,
but will prove a loss unless pre-
cautions are observed. Now the
Northwest supplies the most of the
crop. In all the intervening terri
tory fax was one extensively grown
but is almost disregarded at present.
We fear the same extintion Of the
fax crop in this section unless the
farmers join in safe gu arding the
supply.
''Flax should be rotated and given
very careful cultivation. Weeds
should be pulled out and the crop
given every opportunity to mature
f2uy, Land. <should not be Gown
oyer and over again until the ma
turing qualities of the soil are OK
hausted but should be given occas-
ional rests. This will improve the
oil producing qualities of the fax
and result in yields that will bring
a premium over market prices.
HOW TO HANDLE FLAX.
''Flax should be cut when fully
matured and stacked at once after
it is thoroughly dry. Stacks should
be capped with straw to keep them
free from moisture. If these pre-
cautions are taken the threshed grain
will be bright and clear and of first
wquality.
Every farmer would find it to
his benefit to raise a little flax I
do not think too great an average
will prove an advantage. If the
crop can be regulated annually and
is property cared for there is no
reason why the $20,0O0,000 North
Dakota received this year for fax
alone should not be maintained year
in and year out.
''The history of all the Eastern
states shows that flax has been ex-
tensively grown but is now almost
abandoned. 1t is peculiar fact
that the farmer in these states can
not be induced to take up the crop q
again, however profitable. This
gives the Northwest an excellent
field.
"We admit that the preservation
of the crop and any improvement
in it's quality which the farmers are
able to make will prove of benefit to
the mill owners, but and but the
benefit will be mutual. Careful
proper attention and
correct methods of harvesting and
will make the crop con-
slant source of very considerable
profit. Indianapolis Journal.

eral years there has been an unfortun.
ate and bitter controversy in the navy
tspartment-a controversy generally
deplored even by the participants, as
tending to bring the service into dis
esteem mt home and abroad. and to de-
stroy those relations of mutual con-
fdence and friendship between naval
officers which the interests of effective
service require. In this controversy
the army has not been involved, and
no bar had been raised to that good
feeling and friendly relation between
all the officers of the navy aud all the
officers of the army which is essential
to the successful and harmonious CO.
operation of the two services in prep
aration and in action.
"A court of inquiry has been held on
the matters in controversy, and Il re-
port had been made in which one men,

lieutenant general of the army, saw fit
to make public expression of your

by a criticism of the most severe char
acter, which could not fail to be APP
piled by the generality of readers to

your opinion was expressed. 1t is of
no consequence on whose side your
opinion was, or what it was. You had
no business in the controversy, and no

The Manchester Press is a champion
of trusts, corporations and monopolies.
In all questions between plutocracy and
the people it is ever found to be a
staunch supporter of the plutocrats.
And as rule the same may truth
fully be said of the republican press.
OF course there are exceptions, but un-
fortunately for the welfare of the peo-
pie the exceptions are altogether too
scarce. The Hopkinton Leader last
week kicked over its party traces, and
in an editorial which we reproduce in
full on the first page of this paper, tax
ing for its text recent utterance of the
Press upholding the steel trust in max
ing its exhorbitant charges for its pro.
ducts to home consumers, the Leader
conclusively shows that the very reason
given by the Press as an excuse for the
recent advance in prices made by the
trust, is no reason at all for that act,
but on the contrary, instead of advanc
ing the price, should have reduced it.

Ninetieth Birthday Anniversary.

by Mrs. Lydia Elder. 4
On Saturday, the 2lst of December,
1901, at the pleasant Yoran home on
east Howard street, occurred one of the
pleasantest gatherings of the season
1t being the Goth anniversary of the
birth of Mother Stevens. of this city,
whom everybody knows and by Mrs.
Yo1an's invitation, about twenty eight
or thirty of the old ladies and friends
of that venerable old lady met there to
help her to celebrate her birthday in q
becoming manner, and never saw any
thing SO successfully carried out, as 1t
seemed to be Mrs. Yoran's desire to
make it very pleasant and comfortable
for all concerned. The program was
very interesting one, each of the old
ladies that wished having selected their
fayorite hymns to be sung, Rev. Pratt
offering prayer, and Mother Stevens re-
turning thanks at the table, and such u
table, spread with every thing that was
pRlatable and nice.
The total age of those present was
1888, and there were twenty widows
present.
Mrs. Elder contributed the following
article in recognition of her birthday:

How many from lack of such know

New York has passed a law, which
will 60 into effect January 1st, for the
protection of her millionares from the
wiles of designing women. The author
of the law asserts, that the estates of
rich men are being constantly preyed
upon by woman, who come into court
after the men die and claim that they
were their common law wives. This will
not hereafter be possible in New York,
for the new law will recognize no mar
riage as legal or binding, except the
marriage agreement is signed by both
husband and wife and filed in the
county clerks Office.

The great English Empire is we'll in
to its third year of war upon the two
little Dutch republics of South Africa.
War has not alone been waged against
the men of the Transvasl but upon the
women and children of that unhappy
country, who have been driven into
camps and herded like cattle till they
have died by the thousands. The
English statesman has reason to
tremble for his country when he thinks
that God is just; that His justice can
can not sleep forever.
