Divorce Is a Home Product.

Increase Of divorce in the United
States cannot be attributed 20 the inilu-
euce Of aliens. 1t must be recognized
as one of the developments of national
life for which the native-born American
must accept responsibility, If statistics
are to be believed In the Delineator,
Charles A. EilWO0d. professor Of sOciOl-
ogy. University Of Missouri, says:
Divorce is not an evil which the for

have not been fulfilled? What lot
of explaining we will have to- do.
The Journal replies by stating that
the bill, except for the cotton and
wooden schedules, is in harmony with
the platform of the republican party,
but thinks that the farmers got an
overprotection for their products, and
that they are more interested in
cheaper woolens and cottons than
they are in the higher duties for
agricultural products. 1t would
seem that, if the republican party
has with few exceptions, gained an
improvement in the tariff as 1t ap-
plies to the whole people, there is
little reason for complaint, and every
hope that the republican party will
remedy that evil may remain, under
the presidents leadership.
There is nothing to be gained by
breaking down party lines altogether
and promoting such extreme individ-
ualism that we shall have no party
organization to hold responsible for
any legislation, or 10 charge with
needed legislation. The members OF
congress have the entire right to fol-
low their individual beliefs if they
cannot reconcile thsrn with pending
legislation and the passage of 1t.
But it is not necessary to charge that
every man who voted for the tariff
bill was recreant to his trust and
every republican who voted against
it was a hero. A good many votes
were registered against the tariff bill
out of a desire to play to the gal
leries." A tariff bill that is in &C
cordance with republican policies ex-
cept in few schedules, even though
schedules may be important ones, is
not necessarily a bill that republicans
should defeat, where it is found i'm
possible to get still better one.
Enough republicans might have been
mustered to defeat the tariff alto
gether. Would that have been an
advantage to the people and to the
party? It would not insure the pas
sage of better bill at another ses-
sion. 1t might even throw the max
ing of a tariff into the hands Of the
democrats who have always stood for
free trade or tariff only for revenue.
And we have had some experience
with that.

1t is doubtless a fact that great
deal of land including coal land, tim.
Der land, and land on which there
was water power, was withdrawn un-
der the last administration until in
vestigation could be made regarding
it. A quantity of this land was in
North Dakota, where coal existed in
very large quantities, and it was de-
sired to investigate this before the
land was filed upon by settlers.
After an investigation great deal
of the land was restored to public
entry, it having been found that the
best interests of the public lay in re-
storing the land to fling and not
holding it as coal land. The same
conditions have doubtless arisen in
connection with other lands, and: it
is not at all likely that Mr.. Ballinger,
who is pretty we'll versed in condi-
tions existing in the west, has taken
any steps with regard to these lands
that have not met with the approval
of the president. 1t is, unfortunate

result Is an unpleasant public con-

THE SALE OF LIQUOR.

An article appearing in the press
of the state under Grand Forks
date line, quotes an official of the
government revenue collection de-
partment as stating that there are
1,791 Especial stamps" held in North
Dakota, or one to each PA Of the
population of the state-a larger
number than are permitted of sal
oons in the state Of Minnesota, where
the number is limited to one in 500.
There is also statement of the ship
ments of beer into the state from
Minnesota sales headquarters, the
argument inferred but not stated be-
ing that more liquor is consumed in
North Dakota than in Minnesota,
and that prohibition is a bad thing
for the state.
In the first place, we have the
right to question the figures as to
the number of special stamps held in
the state until we have authorita-
tive information from the collector
of revenue, and not in roundabout
statement through an unauthorized
channel. There may be 1871 spec
ial stamp licenses in the state. There
may be twice that many. There
may not be half that many. We
have no accurate Or positive informa-
ton on the subject.
If there are that many, the number
is not one to 244 people. That pro-
portion would mean that North Da-
kota had ony $4,000 people. North
Dakota has nearer twice that many,
so the proportion would be only half
as great as stated. 1t is true, with
out doubt, that a great many people
consume liquor and import 1t. That
does not prove that it would be bet
ter to have sales headquarters in
every block of a North Dakota city,
localized as saloons. The legalized
saloon is a recognized factor in mum
icipal and state affairs. The "blind
pig" is an outlawed institution that
is kept busy saving itself from the
visitations of the law. The owner Of
the "bling pig" is not injecting him
self and--his institution into munich
pal and state affairs to widen his
field of business and break down wise
ordinances for the regulation Of the
liquor business. ..'.' -,
Prohibition is not successful in
wiping out the sale and use of liquor.
AS long as there. is an abnormal pro-
fit in selling liquor Illegally, there
will be men who will take chances
of Imprisonment for the sake Of the
unlawful profit. But the business is
not made attractive. and given any
color of lawfulness, and the doors Of
drinking resorts do not swing wide
to entice a class of young men who
might otherwise fall victims to the
lure of the saloon. o..
The article in question refers to
the $50 employees of East Grand
Forks resorts whose salaries come
from North Dakota patronage. That
may be true. The same may be true
in Moorhead. Which city is better
