....N0TES AND COMMENTS.

Concerning the question of religion
and politics, 1t is said that a woman
takes her religion as seriously as
man his politics, only she doesn't get
black in the face about it.
A Wisconsin man has gone crazy
over the Thaw trial, and several
preachers have almost reached the
same stage.
A Minnesota girl has been asleep for
more than week. Perhaps she is
keeping Lent in this way.
II the defense can get before the
jury in the Thaw case that the defend
ant lost $3.50, 900 in bridge whist, there
should be no difficulty in establishing
Thaw's insanity.-Fargo Forum.
It has come to be that cigarettes are
not enough for the more advanced
women of the smart set" in New York.

AN ADMITTED FALSIFIER.

1t is somewhat amusing to see the
desperate efforts being made by such
yellow journals as the Minneapolis
Journal in trying to get back into
creditable standing with the people of
this state after having sent broad
cast over the land the most slanderous
and malicious falsehoods relative to
the conditions in the state during the
last few weeks. There is probably
not journal, except the sensational
ones published by the Hearst syndi-
cate, that would have for moment
tolerated the falsehoods in its COL
umns that daily filled those Of the
Minneapolis one referred to while the
snow blockade was on in the north
west.
The most unfounded and unreason-
able stories sent out by the most ir.
responsible. correspondents was used
under scare headlines in order to
make the condition sufficiently SEN
sational to meet the standard set by
that journal. The Minneapolis Jour-
nal by the publication of the false and
unfounded sensational stories, which
1t not only passively allowed in its
columns but openly sought from it's
correspondents, did the people of the
state Of North Dakota millions of dol
lars of damage. Such stories have
reduced the value of every acre of
marketable land in the state by reduc-
ing the number of prospective buy
ers. It has fattened and fed from the
people of the state who have given it
a liberal patronage and it took the
first opportunity to give them a black
eye. 1t did so deliberately and in
tentionally. Minnesota was suffering
from the same abnormal conditions
that North Dakota was, yet there was
never line concerning conditions in
that state, but so soon as the Red
river was crossed the suffering, ac-
cording to its contention, began. The
whole truth is that the Journal, in
seeking to run the politics of the
state,.was using the snow blockade to
show to those who did not have the
OPPORTUNITY Of studying the matter at
close range, that officials of the state
were such plant tools of the railroads
that they had not been able to secure
from these corporations such trans
portatiop facilities as the. conditions
demanded and as a consequence of
the not much less than criminal neg
lect of the railroads, intense suffering
and death followed.
Now that the conditions have been
proven to have been far less serious
than was reported, the Journal at
tempts to get back into standing in
the state by publishing the denials
which the people of the state are maxi
ing of the stories which it not only
circulated but through it's correspond
ents largely originated.
1t is difficult to see why the legis-
azure should refuse vote of thanks
to the men who were shoveling the
snow from the tracks in order that the

in fulsome praise over the slanderous
sheet which was responsible for the
circulation of not only the true con-
ditions but of exaggerated falsehoods
relative to the same.

To anyone who has followed The
Herald through its maze of inaccur-
acies, it would seem on the face of it
all that the state railway commission
and the old gang has another bit of
diviltry charged up against them,
namely-the snow blockade. The gang
should have gotten out and pushed the
steam-cars through the mountains of
the beautiful, either that or its pull
with the Almighty who controls,
should have been strong enough to
make summer out of winter.

If the members Of the legislature
would devote more of the. closing
hours of the session to transacting
the important business Of state and
less to resulting in favor of a
newspaper in Minnesota-and the
more especially when that newspaper
has devoted columns upon columns of
space during the past six weeks
Safeguarding the fair name of North
Dakota in the publication of false
reports of the snow blockade and the
people who perished-it would come
nearer transacting the business for
which it was sent to Bismarck.
