Jealous for Reform

THERE is a minister in Washington, the
l. moving spirit of a certain reform bu-
reau," who is forever haunting the halls of the
Capitol to lay before committees his pet
schemes for reform -
One day the reformer bo1ted into the room
of the House Committee on Public Docu-
ments, and before the chairman could stop
him launched into long speech setting forth
his view upon a subject with which the COM
nittee in question had nothing whatever to do.
Somewhat amused, the chairman permitted
the verbose orator to continue uninterrupted.
When the speaker had concluded the presid-
ing officer quietly asked him if he had finished
talking.
Eyes, sir, have!" came in indignant tones
:" and trust that you have given me your best
attention; for the subject is one of great i'm
portance.
No doubt" was the calm response. AT the
same time, fear you have sadly wasted your
own time, as we'll as that of this committee
/ beg to inform you that you are in the wrong
comrnittee-room and addressing the wrong
committee The extremely lengthy speech
with which you have just favored us should

Church Was Her Refuge

ONE stormy Sunday morning the pastor
~ of church in a small Ohio town was
much gratifed to observe in his congregation
a woman who lived some distance away.
At the conclusion of the service the pastor
congratulated the faithful one, saying Il
must commend your bravery in coming such a
distance through this terrible storm "
Much to his chagrin, the women replied
Well, pastor, it's this way My husband
won't go to church, and he's that cross on
Sunday morning after breakfast that l just
naturally have to go somewhere to escape him. -

him an invitation to appear in
Grand Forks, which he declined,
AS published at the time his rea.
sons for declining were expressed
in the following language:
"I'll tell you why l do not

States senator here, Senator
Hansbrough, who introduced an
amendment to the Alaska bill in

In Spite of His Record.

Gov. Sarles announces that he
is a candidate for reelection and
sis willing to be Judged by his
record" The latter part OF his
announcement is somewhat am
biguous, as he does not designate
the class which is to do the judg-
ing. If Sarles is to be Judged by
the corporations and political
bosses his record is probably
eminently satisfactory. He has
been more subservient to their
interests than any other man
who has held the Office. His
sickening adultera ton of MIR.
Hill at the time of the rate re-
duction last year and his action
as a member of the state board
OF equalization in reducing the
taxes OF the railroads are all a
part Of his record. His appoint
ment OF Col. Creel in direct viola
ton OF the law is another portion
the governors record. The re-
tention OF the notorious r. N.
Stevens in the attorney generals
office, contrary to the constitu.
ton of the state. is a part of the
official record of the Sarles adj
ministration, and the governor
is willing to be Judged by his
record" Thegovernor approved
the Streeter libel law which is an
attack upon and an insult to
every newspaper man in the
state. 1t is a part OF his record
and he is willing to be Judged by
it. Wouldn't it be more fitting
to the occasion and more &C.
curately cover the conditions il
the governor were to announce
that he was a candidate for re.
election in spite of his record?-

that we may take the discount. For
that reason our customers get the bene-
fit of the low prices we can afford to sell
our goods for. Another thing that we
want you to consider is the fact that we
leased the building in which we are To-

only fourth of what they now are, and
in addition to having our own large
space for business purposes, we are able
to rent out large portion of the build

be able to quote you the best of prices
and still leave fair profit for US? We
can and do every day sell goods away be-
low our competitors who are paying ex-
orbitant rents. You help pay those
rents.
