supposed to arise only from marriage,
it looks as though the situation were
frankly suicidal. So far, not seeing
these things, we have merely followed
our world-old habit of blaming the

~unfavorably upon the kind of mar

FAMILIAR SITUATION NJ NORTH DAKOTA.

The republicans of North Dakota are
threatened with a bolt which is to be
explained as not a bolt. In that state
they have a primary law which pro-
vides for an informal and formal ball
lot being taken on senator. That is
when there are more than two candi-
dates running at the first primary the
law provides that the names of the two
highest shall go on the ballot at q
special primary on general election day
and a decisive choice made as between
them. Senator Hansborough, of the old
guard, lost out, not being able to even
qualify for the special primary at cleo
ton day, but his crowd have found q
way to eVade the rule of the majority.
The law requires legisl ative candidates
to promise to abide by the result of the
primaries but. the hold-over members
now claim that they IRE not bound by
it. Since their man did not qualify
for the formal ballot they in effect re-
fuse to enter the party caucus of the
special primary, or to be bound by its
decision Doubtless their newspaper
friends will argue that there was no
real bolt. The factional struggle is not
confined to the one state of Iowa.

| be so discouraged at the prospect since
| it will be physically impossible for the
Cummi,1s men to make much of a cam
paign. They have shot all their ammu-
milton. Lafe's desire to see the press
bureau discontinued will be met by
force of circumstances. Cummins has
agreed to campaign for the whole
ticket and besides he has said all he
has to say about his campaign for SEN
ator. His friends, too, are about all IN
as the saying goes. His campaign
must, perforce, move from its own
momentum.
Some new man. however, can go be-
fore the people with a bran new story.
He can have behind him both the old
organization and a new one. He can
have most of the newspapers and need
not want for funds; he at least does
not enter with his campaign powder
mostly burnt as the result of long
days hunt. A strong man will find
conditions even favorable and it is to
be hoped that no one but a strong man
will venture for if we must send some
republican to the United States senate
other than Cummins, let us have one
who is worthy. Beginning with Con-
gresham Smith and graduating down
to Shaw, Lacey, Perkins, Jackson and
others, let's have a man worthy of the
honor. He might win and become I'm
tied States senator.

1.-THE DEVIL a moflk WOULD BE-"

Few better illustrations of the truth
of the old couplet which runs some
what like this:
when the devil was sick, the devil
monk would be, But when the devil
was we'll, the devil a monk was he, !"
have ever been offered than by the
circular recently sent out by the ma
tional Model License League of liq-
uor sellers in which they assume to
defend the Christian ministry and sup
port the teachings OF the Scriptures
against the Anti-iSaloon league and the
lprohibitionists. In effect it is a read
ing out of all prohibs from the ranks
of those who consider the Bible the
work Of inspiration and the separation
of those goats of the ministry who
quote the Scriptures against the
liquor traffic from the sheep who
search It's pages for some defense and
approval Of legalizing and protecting
the manufacturer and retailer of intox-
icating beverages. Indeed it appears
to the National Model League that:
"The idea that the God of the He
,brews is to be rejected; that the old
Bible is to be treated with contempt
as unprintable; and that the teachings
and example Of Jesus Christ are not to
be considered as safe guide FOR the
Christian Of today will be abhorrent to
those who have believed in the God
Of their fathers and who still rely on
the faith that gave comfort to their
mothers. In fact, the Remuneration OF
the God of yesterday and of the God
of today and the putting of reliance
in the God Of tomorrow that is not
existent, seems to US a remuneration
of the Bible and a blasphemous disre-
gard of Holy Writ. We insist that
ministers of American cannot afford TO
stultify themselves to the extent OIL
supporting an organization that pleads
for money in the name OF God ana
Jesus Christ and then renounces the
teaching of the Almighty and Of the
Saviour"
Aside from the question of personal
liberty to drink in moderation-for
there is no question Of personal liber-
.ty to drink to excess, more than of the
personal right to drink without paying
for it---this TRADE of the National
Model League" of liquor sellers is at
once amusing and insulting to the in
teligence of the respectable citizen
whether he drinks or. is a total abb
stainer. Many men of good character
use intoxicants; there are some men of
character and habits con-
nected with the liquor trade and there
are few of these who are not
ashamed of it; but there are fewer still
who would in sober earnest attack the
Christian ministry as infidel because
they denied the Scriptural right to
put the bottle to reghbor's lips
There are many OF fairly good Sort of
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-09-14

citizens who find the Anti-Saloon
league an annoyance to their business
and would be glad to see 1t fall to
pieces and lose its effectiveness, but
there are very limited number of this
kind who are ready to condemn the
church as opposed to the teachings of
Christ when it insists that the liquor
traffic is menace to good govern
ment and to the cause of Christianity;
and among ordinary people whether in
or out of the church and the anti-sa-
loon leagues there will be found still
fewer who are ready to leave law, JUS
tice, and Interpretation of the Bible to
the National License league rather than
to the churches and the clergy.
Fact is the devil is sick and is try
ing to be a monk. And devil of a
monk is he.

Captauring giant turtles seems to be
profitable business along the Maine

curiosity was it that the two cap
tors promptly exchanged 1t for per-
fectly good check for $3.50. However,
when one stops to think about it many
thousands of dollars have been brought
into Iowa in the past few years as
payment for the ordinary ugly snap
ping turtle. barrel of mud turtles
brings a nice check from Philadelphia
and other eastern cities where turtle
soup leads fashionable menus.

than SO per cent of the population are
negroes. More than three-fourths Of
the negroes live in the country dis

PUT UP YOUR BEST MAN.

There will be a conference of stand
patters in Des Moines on Tuesday to
canvass the situation and determine
officially as to Where are we at?" A
candidate for senator to beat Cummins
is somewhat of a necessity at this time
and those that are most available seem
unwilling to venture while those that
are eager have an excess of weak
ness as candidates. The convention OF
stalwarts on Tuesday must find a man
and then make him run. All republic
cans can wish the standpatters sue
cess in their efforts.
It would be better for the party if
there were a strong candidate running
against Cummins; better for the whole
party and better for both factions. IL
there were not. each faction would be
suspicious of the other and both would
inevitably go to hacking at the repub-
lican cherry tree On the other hand
if there is another strong man whom a
majority of the republican voters of
the state prefer for senator to Cum
Minis, even the Cummins men would
like to see the fact definitely recorded,
for they could then support him and
there would be some hope for har-
mony, while on the other hand if a
real strong candidate is put up and
Cummins wins at the primary, the OPP
position can come in gracefully with
the full knowledge that they have been
outvoted.
However. the standpatters. need not

Laugh little If you can;
Every one has loads of care.
And so many horns are pricking,
And so many pins are sticking,
All around us everywhere!
Wear face that's like the sun,
Let it shine wher'er you are;
Other weary hearts will tighten,
Other weary ways will brighten
Like the passing Of a star.
Laugh a little while you may,
If you'd do mankind a good;
Do not of your smiles be chary,
Be laughing missionary

Do not grumble, show your best:
Sing, and woes will disappear;
Do not with your troubles harry.

Sometimes there are occurrences that
lead us to accept to the full one of the
doctrines Of one of our churches that
we get all the hell in this life for the
commission of sin that there ever will
be. We have in mind a man that was
well-todo in worldly goods, had wife
every way worthy and good, and a
family of girl and boy, of whom he
had great pride--in fact was more
than usually tender in his love for
them and solicitations for their well
fare and good name. But he was a
brawler, one who was always in rows
himself, and melting others to acts of
violence and lawbreaking-in short was
menace to the community in which
he lived. The daughter went to the
bad and became notorious as an aban-
doned woman. His son is in the peni-
tertiary for life for murder. His wife
is said to have died of a broken. heart

conceive OF no possible punishment.

The notion IS still prevalent that
free access to water. This has been
repeatedly shown to be erroneous 50
far as the improved sorts are concern
ed. Many Of the largest breeders have
only wells, and the water supplied for
drinking purposes is all they receive.
Yet just as many birds are raised, the
only perceptible difference being that
the water birds have little finer
plumage. But the difference Is lost

for market,
