Good for the Canadian,.

Some things about the Canadian
government are net commendable---
one OF them is the habit 1t has OF in
ducing good farmers who ought to
stay In the United States to move to
the northwest territory. But the
Canadians have good points. When
they don't want thing, they bluntly
say so, and when thing becomes re-
pugnsnt they remove it. Forinstance,
they don't want Mormonism in the
northwest territory, and they are
meeting the problem with a vigor
that is surprising to the people Of the
United States. In the new province
OF Alberta there are thousands Of
Mormons, who have entered the
dominion from the United States
within the past five years. 1t is ssti.
mated that one-third Of them are
polygamous. II fact, many OF the
POlygAmous MOrmonS went to the
Canadian northwest, because they
thought they would End safe harbor.
It is believed that the Mormons will
control at least two members in the
new provincial Legislature, and the
Canadian prosecuting officers and the
people have decided TO settle the
question deoisively before politics
shall confuse the issue. Prosecutions
have been begun "by wholesale, y and
notice has bean served on eli poly
gamous Mormons that they must
either give up their plural Wivel OF
leave the territory.

Was 4 Mattsr 81 Courtesy.

When Mayor Cowan placed on the
city election, boards. Democrats and
Socialists he did so purely as matter
Of courtesy, not because he was COM
PEELED to do so. The attorney gen.
eral in response to an inquiry from
Cloud county has given this decision;
ii beg leave to say that the cleo
ton law, among other things, pro-
vides that in the appointment Of
judges and clerks for city elections
In cities OF the first and second class
the mayor shall be governed by the
recommendations Of the chairman Of
the city central committee Of the sew
eral political parties. Now, then, II
a party has no city central committee,
fail to see how, under the statute,
such party can, as a matter Of right,
demand voice in the nomination Of
such judges. The statute nowhere
says that in city elections the county
central committee shall have any
right to suggest persons to act as

Mr.. Mnnnstt,a Msthod,.

1t was always something Of mys-
terry why Mr.. Monnett should have
been brought all the way from Ohio
to lead the legal fight in Kansas
against the trusts, not that We know
anything disParaging to Mr.. MOunett,
but that Kansas is amply endowed
with lawyers Of ability to conduct
Kansas fights in the courts. Now
that 1t is reported that the oil pro-
ducers have bowed Mr.. Monnett out,
there will be no protest In Kansas.
There ought to be strong dissent,
however. from the proposition that is
heard from . Kansas City newspaper
TO the effect that Mr.. Monnett was
all wrong in ''trying bis case in the

The Northwest HomeseOker thus
characterizes a class Of operators
which is one OF the obstacles in the
way Of legitimate firms; AcurbStone
broker is an alleged man who by vari-
GUS willy methods known to bis class
takes advantage Of honest men and
women who are seeking new locations
or opportunities for investment. He
is a human bloodSucker who, con-
tributes nothing to the welfare and
advancement Of the community which
tolerates his presence. His office Is
usually under his hat--and scantily
furnished. He filches the business
made possible by those who pay ad'
vertising and rent bills, and to honor
and square dealing he attaches no
Importance. Eastern people who
come in close contact with these peo-
pie, unless warned in time, invariably
give the west a black eye-if they are
spared sufficient change for return
ticket or a postage stamp. People
who intend to locate In the west
should consult real estate brokers
who do legitimate advertising, who
can be found at their desks some time
during business hours. 1t may be
impossible to force the curhs:oner
into a calling where success depends
upon useful labor, but continually
warning his intended victims may
drive him from the society Of respec-
table business men.
