PUTS BLAME on EMPLOYERS
New York Minister Says Working
Girls Are Taken Advantage Of
BY Business Superiors.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Rev. DR.. F.
Montague Geer, vicar of st. Paul's
chapel, declares that girls employed in
this city as typewriters and steno-
graphers are exposed to grave perils
through the enforced association with
unprincipled employers and clerks. He
announced his intention of trying to
start guild for these girls in con-
nection with st. Pauls church, where
they may spend lunch hour, get legal
redress for wrongs committed against
them and seek information in regard
to the characters of the men for whom
they propose to work
Geer said that girls to whom under
former social and business conditions
no man could nave spoken without
formal introduction or the approval OF
her parents. are now obliged to sus-
tain relations of business intimacy
eight hours or more daily with men
wholly unworthy of their confidence.
Foul advantage is often taken of them.
"All sense of chivalry AMI honor Is
dead in the hearts of many employers
and clerks" he said.

responsible for his actions and could
not have been sent to the gallows for
his crimes.
Gov. Cummins has ordered an in
vestigation of the lynching, and the
prosecution of all found to nave TAX

Cullen was taken from Jail and
hanged from the bridge that crosses
the Cedar river here, in the presence
of a crowd of more than 1000 per-
sons. including some women and chill
dren and four ministers. A prayer
service preceded the lynching.
Cullen was in Jail charged with the
murder of his wife and stepson. boy
16 years old. The murders were COM
mitted in the Cullen home, just outside
the city, some time during Monday
night. On Tuesday Cullen came to
his head, and was looking for a doctor
to dress it when officers, who had
been informed by neighbors of the
murder of his wife and child, arrest
ed him.
The man admitted that he had killed
his wife and stepson. and accounted for
the wound in his head by saying that
he had attempted to commit suicide
but had failed, and then changed his
mind. When he came to town to have
the wound dressed he did not think
that the murders had been discovered.
When arrested he said that he had
killed his wife and stepson in self
defense. but would say nothing more.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
HOW WILL THEY EXPLAIN?

The Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton has formulated a demand that
wood pulp and print paper be put upon
the free list, declaring that the wood
pulp and paper trust is taking advan-
tage of the tariff to rob the publishers of
the country. The truth of this declara-
ton cannot be denied. But how will
the members of the association who ad-
vocate a "standpat" tariff policy explain
to their readers who are suffering from
similar %exactions at the hands of the
clothing trust, the cordage trust, the
harvester trust, the anthacite bituminous
coal trust, the meat trust, and a score of
other trust bound commodities of today,
all of which are barricaded behind
the walls of the tariff? Why should
newspaper publishers who advocate a
tariff on the necessaries of life consum
ed by the general public, object to a
tariff on the necessaries of the publish
ing concerns? A lot of "%standpat" or
gan publishers will either have to do a
lot of explaining to curious and inqulsi-
tive readers, or else resort to that very
ancient dodge of 'silent contempt"

ACCORDING to w. G. McFadden, of the
the state bankers association, Mime
apolis millers have been mixing durum
wheat with other varieties in producing
the best grades of -four, while at the
same time they have been insisting that
durum was not a good milling wheat,
and persistent d%iscrediting has forced
the price of durum wheat "a and Is cents
below that of hard wheat. With the i'm
;mense crop Of durum wheat now being
raised annually in the Northwest this
means a loss to the farmers of from
100000 to s1o,ooo,oOo, if the report is
founded on facts. 1t is a matter which
should be investigated and the truth
spread broadcast. The new testing
plant which is being instituted at the
agricultural college will show the mill
ing value of various kinds Of wheat, and
should settle this question of the true
milling value of durum wheat beyond
the question of a doubt.

FooD for thieves. That seems, of late
to be the accepted definition among
thieves, for the compound word North
Dakota" Postoffices and banks seem to
be especially palatable, so to speak, to
these rovers. This fall the thieving has
been more pronounced than formerly and
the worst of it is. that they are getting
away and very easy at that. Though
there may be some quiet attempt being
made to head off this sort of Iawlessness
still it is not evidenced by any catches
and the people seem to be wearing their
usual smile just the same. 1t is a bad
state of affairs, the robbers are getting
"the glue" and are becoming wonder
fully bold, as is evidenced by the affairs
pulled off at Dickey, Richardton and
Churchs Ferry.

PROFESSOR Laid of the state agricul-
tural college desires to get in COM
m%unication with the farmers who have
frosted wheat. the grade of which has
already been determined at the elevator.
He desires to secur samples for eX-
perimental work. Will farmers through
out the state who have such wheat write
him? He desires also to learn of wheat
that has been affected by heat, thus
producing immature %ripening; to secure
some wheat grown upon a field where
wheat has been grown continuously for
about twenty years, and if possible,
wheat from the same community grown
on new land. He would also like to hear
from farmers who have been growing
good strains of macaroni wheat to be
used for milling experiments.

writes US calling our attention to the
stories of crop failures IN Sunny Southern
Alberta that are being published by
North Dakota and Minnesota papers,
and denying the truth ofsuch published

whether crops were good or poor. But
we can still remember the days when
eastern papers devoted much space to
the terrors of North Dakota's climate
and the horrors of a North Dakota crop
failure-and the story was true only with
regard to a failure of the crop in a part
