Notwithstanding the commandment

er you call the perpetrator a thief,
robber, burglar, highwayman, pur-

bezzler or kleptomaniac, his acts
are just plain stealing For some
forms of stealing the law provides
punishment, while others are passed
unnoticed by the code and are pun
ished only by remorse or social os-
traclsm. Those familiar with the
ethics of journalism know that an
editor who will publish clippings
from his exchanges without giving
due credit, is not considered worthy
the respect of the fraternity; and
among people of literary tendencies
a liter ry thief is, and of right ought
to be, considered depravity incar-
uate. Now we have a right to pro-

of this affidavit Judge Lauder was a

Yankton viewed this as a retention of
the capital at that city until the su-
preme court might decide otherwise,
but the Bismarck view of the situa-
tion was somewhat different, and it
was shown that the last legislature
repealed chapter l of the political code
which fixed the seat of government at
Yankton, and this left ii so that the
governor could designate any town in
the territory as the capital until other
wise established 1t was also shown
that the Yankton court had failed to
take cognizance of this fact and had
not acted on the legality of this repeal
and therefore Governor Ordway could
designate Bismarck or any other city
as the capital of the territory.

ASKING QUESTIONS.
The Art OF Interrogation Should BE
Devoid of inpertinence.


'Do not ask questions is the worst
piece of social advice which age can
give to youth. A man who never asks
questions is the dullest fellow III the
world. He had better ask too many
than too few We can defend ourselves
against curiosity, but no armor avails
against indifference We must resign
ourselves to be bored TO death.
What is the secret of the art OF in
terrogation? Putting aside quick SYM
pathies, which lie at the root of every
social art. we believe the most essen
tial quality for those who would excel
in it is directness. The art of asking
questions SO as to learn. instruct. please
and influence is not the art of beating
about the bush The questions which
offend and silence are the questions
which suggest some Interior motive. 1T
