6. A. JOHNSON WILL
CARRY SLOPE COUNTIES

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 26.-The,
talk that has been current to the
effect that Burke would have big
vote west of the river has been
refuted to no little extent. Men
who live in the western part of
the state claim that G. A. Johnson
for governor will have a good
comfortable majority in Billings
county, and that he will carry
Adams, Hettinger, Stark and
Dunn. Morton county has been
considered in the doubtful column
for some time past even though
that county does have three re-
publican candidates on the state
ticket, but Marshall while he was
here, made trip to Morton and
said he found that the Burke senti-
ment was not near so strong there
as some had been led to believe,
and he was OF the opinion that
Johnson would carry the county.
C. A. Johnson will also carry Bur
leigh, Kidder, Emmons, Logan and
Mcintosh, so If the democrats ex-
pect as they have given cut, to
carry the slope counties for Burke
they have not much left to pick
from.

TYHE people of San Francisco have
awakened at last, it seems, to a
realization of the terrific power of
the yellow journal. Every declar-
alton made during the last week
against the vicious purchased press of
San Francisco has been a public con-
firmation of accusations made time and
again by the Monitor. We have warned
our readers over and over against the
"odium" press. The 'boohs'' and Kisses
that those shameless papers received
from the thousands of citizens assem-
bled last Saturday evening in Dreamland
rink showed that at last the significance
of our repeated warnings has reached
the intelligence of at least a few. May
they long remember the truth they ut
tered so emphatically that night. Let
them bear in mind that not only does
the security of the city rest in their
faithfully fulfilling the pledges they
have now made so heartily; but the

homes, and which so foully contami-
mates mind and heart that the very
fabric of Righteousness is destroyed
by it.
We speak of these matters from the
moral standpoint, for with their politi-
cal aspect we have nothing to do. In
deed, affairs have passed the line of
politics. 1t is a matter of morals, pure
and simple; this question of evil read
ing; and If our holy faith has not to do
with morals, the ground work of true
citizenship, then it has nothing at all
to do. With Catholics, this question
should be a matter of conscience

feed such engines of sin and danger as
the sensational and purchased press of
this city has proved itself to be.

EDNA CLARK SEES
UNCLE IN CHICAGO
Relative From Toledo Would In
duce Girl to Come to
That City
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

TOLEDO, O., Nov. 2O.-Edna Clark
may be brought to Toledo. Word to
that effect was contained in letter
received Friday by Mrs. f. III. Clark
from her husband Clark, who has
been overseeing some building opera
tions in International Falls, Mimi, re-
ceived information from the coast that
led him to believe the young woman
was in Chicago. He arrived in Chicago
at early hour Thursday morning.
AS Clark walked down Wabash avenue
less than an hour after landing in Chi
cago he met his cousin face to face.
Edna Clark had just come from mass
and was on her way to an art studio,
where she had taken employment. In
his letter to his wife and to his mother,
Mrs. Burnham Clark, he says his meet
ing with the missing girl was pleasant
and she readily explained that a differ
ence over religious matters had caused
her to leave her mother and try to
make her own way in the world. Miss
Clark, on coming to Chicago. secured a
position in a studio and deposited in a
bank the money she brought with her
from her home. 1t is denied by the
Toledo relatives that there is love
affair between Miss Clark and the Rev.
Payson Young, an Episcopal rector in
San Francisco. 1t is said the young
woman is devoted to art and was in
clined to embrace the Catholic faith.
Her mother is a Presbyterian, and the
clash between mother and daughter is
said to have been too much for the
temperament of the girl, and she ran
away.
Mrs. Burnham Clark, who lives with
her son. said tonight that her father
and the grandfather of the girl were
brothers. F. H Clark who found her
in Chicago. being the first cousin of
Miss Edna Clark's father Mr.. Clark
visited the girl and her mother in Cal
ifornia last winter and will try and
induce Miss Clark to come to Toledo
Saturday with him.
