The membership of the Supreme
Court Of North Dakota is to be in
creased from three to five, and by a
vote Of the people at that. which re-
minds the LEADER that the member
ship of our supreme court should be
increased to five. The business OF
the Pierre court is away behind In Its
work and as the state is growing fast
the business Of the supreme court
grows also. The coming legislature
should provide for two new supreme
court judges because there is work
for five. Lawyers and their clients
do not like to wait two or three years
for q decision.

Woman's Own Traits.

Wherever in all the world the spe-
cial gifts Of women are needed, there
is woman's sphere. The qualities that
~differentiate woman from man are az
lection, quick sympathy, intuitive per-
ceptions, a gift for sweet ordering, ar
rangement and decision; while man Is
the creator, defender and discoverer.
Each is essential to the other, and
each should enter in some degree into
every phase OF the others life.

Saw No Evil.

Though it is equally Of bad conse-
quence to society that men should
have either good or i'll characters
which they do not deserve; yet. when
you say somewhat good OF a man
which he does not deserve, there IS
no wrong done in particular, whereas,
when you say evil of a man which
he does not deserve, here is a direct
formal injury, a real piece OF 1njus'
tice done him.-Joseph Butler.

To build up the power of our homes,
for beauty, for companionship, for in

acknowledgment and furtherance OF

selves shall ever realize. And It's
within the reach of every home,
whether it's a big or a very little one.
