A recent number of McClure's

A recent number of McClure's
magazine makes the statement
that, "There are at present four
and a half times as many murder.
ers and homicides for each million
of people in the United States
than in 1881" The same writer
administers a severe denunciation
upon the reign of such a 'crimi.
nal oligarchy" and attributes the
cause much to a general failure in
the enforcement of the statutes.

Print the Laws.

No man in the state better, than
the country editor, knows the an
noyance and inconvenience of the
present method of disseminating
the state laws-either those now on
our statute or new laws as they are
passed by the legislature when in
session. Anyone wishing to learn
the provisions of a certain law is
required to buy from the state
printer. And then the next legis-
lature will probably "knock it out"
Many a case is brought into the
civil courts because of ignorance
of the law governing the case at
the starting of the controversy.
But ignorance of the law is no ex-
cuse in either civil or criminal law.
1t would be more to the point how.
ever, if the next legislature would
pass a law so that no one could
make a plea of ignorance. In Min
nesota, the session laws are pub
]ished in the newspapers Of the
state for the benefit of the whole
people. We believe that North
Dakota should do the same, paying
therefor what is honest compensa.

Twenty-Five hunters were killed

We know of an instance in that
