Determined to reach Mrs. Gibbons, Mr..
Gibbons secured a special railway
train from the governor of the prov

move when he was ready to so. Know

A convention of the grain growers
department of the American Society
of Equity was held'at Fargo, N. D.,
last week for the purpose of inaugur.
ating a campaign to stop speculation
and gambling in the product. Gov
ernor Burke, who addressed the as
semblage, said that the only power
great enough to grapple with this evil
was congress, and he reminded the
delegates that if they would stop
gambling on the boards of trade they
must discontinue the practice them
selves. There is only one way; it
seems to us, in the absence of legisla.
ton, by which this gambling could be
stopped, and that would be for the
farmers to control the grain until it
reaches the millers and other manu-
facturers. This method would, how
ever, require perfect organization of
the growers thus the difficulty.

Society women objected to the word
Charm" on the grounds that it was
too suggestive of ebay, COW and
other odors." Some of these micro
cephalous society buds are possessed
of particularly sensitive olfactory
organs and probably little suspect that
the so-called perfumes with which they
besprinkle themselves are as assafoe-
tida compared with the hay, COW and
other odors."

provides for the establishment of a

names have been mentioned in con-
nection with the position, but if the
governor can induce Mr.. j. B. Galar.
neault of Aitkin to accept he is the
man for the place. Mr.. Galarneault

The more we read of the "Black
Hand" society, number of whose
members have just been arrested by
government secret service men and
postofice inspectors, the more are
we inclined to the belief that, instead
of excluding the Chinese and
Japanese from this country, the
Italians should have been kept out;
or, at the least, the law should also
have been made applicable to the
latter. These "Black Hand'' fends
have attained such numerical strength
that they have become a menace to
the country at large and-they are,
SO far as we can ascertain, all
Italians.

Eighteen months imprisonmentsan and
a fine of $500 is the maximum penalty
that can be imposed upon persons
convicted of using the mails to com
nit fraud or those convicted of con
spiracy to extort. Hence the "Black
Hand" gang rounded up by the
government secret service men in
Ohio, if found guilty, can receive but
light sentences. It is plainly ap.
parent that the United States statutes
covering these crimes do not provide
for sufficiently severe sentences and
they should be amended without de.
lay. Ten years in the penitentiary
would not be too harsh a penalty for
the maximum punishment and, in. the
case Of aliens, deportation should
follow the expiration OF the prison
term.

Chicago's health department has
been experiencing considerable trouble
with it's female oficers-the ladies
positively refused to wear uniforms
until an ordinance was passed COM
polling them so to do with the alterna-
tive of being discharged. It appears
that they did not object so much to
the dresses prescribed, but drew the
line on the dinky hats. They wanted
to be stylish-to wear the latest things
in peach basket, washtub, gluepot
and other fashionable creations.
Unless Chicago repeats that ordi-
nance we predict that within three
months not woman inspector will
