A Plain Statement Of Facts.

Minneapolis Tribune: What does
it matter whether there are four
blind pigs i'm Minneapolis or
10000 They are a necessary condi-
ton of life beneath the rule of men
entirely virtuous.
We hear of no complaint except
from decent and orderly saloon-keep
ers. Their business under the rule
of virtue is TO pay their licenses and
take what comes with philosophy.
Probably plain citizens do not like
the broadcast sowing of secret
speak -easies" all over the protected
district, under the very shadow of
churches, schools and homes
But we understand that the plain
citizenship of Minneapolis has alb
dicated for time to allow the SUI
premely virtuous to test their theo-
ries of government. To be wholly
satisfactory, the test should be COM
plete.
| The supremely yirtuous seem to be
wholly satisfied with the multiplica-
tion of blind pigs till they are in
stigated to the conventional express
sion of horror in newspaper inter
views This is what the teaching of
experience leads one TO expect. The
supremely virtuous are content to
smear the surface Of government
with prohibitory laws, no matter
what foulness may tester and stink
underneath
They are contented with anything
as long as they can prevent public
recognition of universal human APP
| petites in order to regulate their
satisfaction for the protection of
civil order. They are willing to rot
the stomach Of the soldier with fiery
poison and melt his bones with the
virus of Venus just across the reser-
walton line. IL they can only abolish

the clean and orderly enlisted mans
club under government control in
the post
They are willing TO fill the resi-.
dence district with secret springs OF
villainous whisky and disguised and
poisonous beer, where the votaries OF
vice hold nightly carnival and into
which children peer curiously as they
pass on their way to school, smirch
ing innocent lips and minds with the
salt gossip of their elders, IL they can
only shuttle from SNUG platforms the
Pharisaic boast that they have made
a pure city at last.
All this is part of the game of Civ
ing the supremely virtuous chance
to make good.

Chicago Skandinaven: North Dako-

disappointment there as we'll as In
many other places All so-called re-
forms have their drawbacks, but the
way they have started in North Dako-
ia can only be considered direct at
tempt to defeat the obj sct of the pri-
mary law The first thing gang Of
most pronounced advocates OF the
reform is doing after its adoption.
is TO hold meetings in order to die
tate whom the people shall vote for
And what kind of meetings? 1t is u
well-knOwn fact that the convention
at Grand Forks was packed by So
called delegates who had met only to
promote the interests Of certain imdi.
viduals. and that the expenses of many
Of the so-callcd reform delegates were
paid by the men they served. Such
proceedings arc of course much worse
than the old convention system. Mem
bers of conventions were elected aud
responsible, but such boss meetings
as that at Grand Forks are entirely
irresponsible, consisting, as they do,
OF ofiice-seekers, who have appointed
themselves, or OF men selected by
these Offices aekers.
A leading insurgent has told the
"Skandinaven" that the insurgents or
the new gang" are much better or
ganized than the old gang, and that
seems to be little more than mere
boast.
The people of North Dakota have
hardly forgotten what happened in
Wisconsin under similar circum.
stances. l.aFollatta worked hard for
a primary law, but the first thing that
he did after its adoption was to die
tate to the voters whom to nominate
for governor. He had accomplished
great things and was the idol Of his
constituents, but when he attempted
to boss the primary elections he suf-
fered defeat In North Dakota there
are no prominent men, but gang of
putty ONCE seekers. attempting to
pose as bosses and dictate the nomin-
ations of the people. Skandinavcn"
does not believe that the voters OF
North Dakota will be more inclined
to make a farce out of reform than
the citizens of Wisconsin proved them
selves to be.

mildly says, we were possessed of
only meager competence and had
to hustle for living, so had not
time---to waste No doubt. the in
struction received would have been
valuable, but most of II would also
have been unprintable One "cOndi-

will be on the right side. That is
unless it came to trading cayuses
in which case. don't stop to take
sides, but run. If yon don't he'll
get all the sides and horse, too. Per
haps that S the reason we brought
our one horse to Hazelton instead OF
Linton we got something to show
for him, which we wouldn't have
had had we got the Advocate with

measure-waist measure. From this
