Magazine for Practical and Progressive Women

This is the age of cleanliness Compared to
thirty years ago, modern methods of living are
entirely transformed and the gospel of health
is written in soap and water.
Water itself, the cleansing element, is purified
by filtration, that nothing unclean may enter the
system to produce il1-health.
Modern newspaperdom is full and running
with suggestions for cleanliness in both
editorial and advertising columns.
While all of this crusade for external cleanl-
is going on, the publication of the mental and
spiritual nature is pursued in but ha1f-hearted
way How shall this situation be remedied?
The current literature in the so-called
highclass magazines is not all clean. 1t has many
dark spots that arsuspcious when you inspect them
with microscope. The germ of suggestion may
be found in these dark spots which being brought
to heat and light grows and propagates, and breeds
INTO sinister live things that able to destroy
character, and then the home that is thus polluted
Where can be found cleaner literature than in
THE LADIES' WoRLDa The wholesome character
that pervades every column is easily recognized.
1t guide to plain living and high thinking, the
old Concord philosophy which Emerson advocated
Its clean tone is bracing mental stimulant
In its cleanliness, in its wholesome life giving
food for the mind, THE LADIES WORLD stands
second to publication in the land

Two prominent Texas divines are
preaching two hour discOurses to an
attentive community on the question
Of "water baptism" The community
is said to be much interested, and
both ministers enthusiastic. This Is a
most momentous question. Yet it is
not as profitable to the general public
as It may have been in the days Of
yore, when religious services we're
demonstrated as well as argued.
When the brothers and sisters gath
cred about the holy tub, took of their
shoes and stockings and bathed each
others feet for an hour, it would seem
there might be some madness in the
method Of water use 10 the sanctuary.
That was at least getting one end Of
the Christian in touch with that gen
orally accepted theory that cleanli-
ness is next to Goodness. But the
Texas ministers won't hurt anything,
and II their respective followers find
comfort in their long discussions, the
balance of Us out Of hearing ought to
get through it.

The Missouri editor who was found
with q 81 ,OCO bill in his pocket has
placed himself under suspicion to
such extent that the churches OF the
town demand that bis movements be
watched in the future to see what out
side lines he is pulling, unless his con-
tributions to the cause Of religion are
much increased. A prominent minis
ter once said to Us: "When 8 man
comes to my church and is reckless
about throwing 8 sum into the collec-
ton hat greater than al the balance
Of the congregation combined, l size
him up for one Of two things: He il
either a gambler OF q sucker" But
we have spent many hours trying e
figure out how that minister could
make two things out Of the synony-
nous terms used.

The latest assault on fashion follow
ers is the declaration from a minister
that no woman who wears song birds
on her hat can enter the kingdom Of
Heaven. Not long since another d.
vine startled the fashionable set by
saying that no woman who wore open
work hosiery would be permitted to
climb the golden stairs, for obvious
reasons, and the next thing we look
for is a threat that no woman with q
family of less than nine children will
be answered when she knocks at the
pearly gates. These ministers aud
excentric presidents are making life
more Of q burden than most of rs con-
tract for when we are ushered into
this va'e of tears.

It is gratifying to realize that Mis-
sissippians are fast accepting the
theory that It is more profitable to
raise and to produce the things they
must use In all the demands of life
and its Environments than 1t Is to send
away from home and buy them. The
nurtured idea that the state should
give its undivided attention to the
raising Of one crop and marketing It
direct from the field, relying upon
the proceeds from It's sale to buy
everything else required, is fast pass
ing away. Diversified farming is be-
coming popular and the manufactur-
ing Of our own raw materials coming
along to leave us the immense profits
from the process, are the prime
causes for the boast we are able to
make from year to year Of the pros
perity and advancement made by q
state. There is nothing whatever in
the claims of politicians that politics
or men who make their livings from
politics are in the least degree en-
titled to the credit Of our advance
ment. It is due entirely to the peo-
pie who are learning to take advan-
tages Of the natural opportunities Of
the state and TO keep up with the
trend Of the day In advanced meth
DDS Of management.

Failed to Make Good.

The trial of the six lumber
lacks, who were arrested at Ten
strike last week, charged with
attempting to defraud j. Irvine
in the amount of $1.00 each for
transportation from this place to
Blackjack, occupied the most of
Friday and Saturday in Judge
Martins court. These men to-
gether with seven others recelv-
ed transportation from Mr..
Wheelock, the employment agent,
| to Blackjack and he accompan"
led them there, turning them ov-
er to Irvine's superintendent,
Mr.. Stewart, from whom he col
lected the amount of their trans
portation and the 81 employment
fee, which was to be taken out Of
the mems wages. Mr.. Stewart
took the defendants to a hotel
where they were accommodated
for the night and next morning
started for camp. Upon arrival
there they ground their axes
and put in the afternoon working
on a skidway and the next morn
ing quit work and struck for Be-
midi, being overtaken at Ten
strike by the Blackduck author
tiles and were given a hearing at
that place, but not getting salts
faction there Mr.. Irvine carried
it to Bemidji.
The trial occupied nearly two
days and although it was a clear
case of fraud, the weak and vac
cilating manner in which the case
was handled by the county attor-
ney compelled both juries to dis
agree. No blame can be laid to
the juries or the Judge, as they
had to act according to the mer-
it's of the case as presented to
them by the prosecution.
It was a test case brought by
Mr.. Irvine, because Of the dispo-
sition on the part of a certain
class of lumberjacks to secure
transportation and a few days
board and then strike for green
er pastures, where they repeat
the proceeding and is causing a
great deal of trouble among the
loggers, who not only lose the
price of transportation but the
time and money lost in securing
a new gang of men.
