STOP KICKING.

1t is right and proper to punish an
impostor and erect guards against the
repetition of his offenses. Scientific
societies do well to expel an unworthy
member in order that the public may
know that no share of responsibility
for his misdeeds belongs to them. And
if he has been guilty of fraud or crime
he should be brought to book in the
courts. But is it quite human to pur-
sue such a man with expressions of
popular contempt and condemnation i?
For example: DIR. Cook claimed to
have discovered the north pole. Such
claim is not within the power of
judgment of anybody but men of SCI
ence who are fitted by training and ex-
perience to pass upon the evidence
he offers. It is doubtful if the stories
he told afford any foundation whatever
for judgment one way or the other, and
yet he was the target of abuse and rid
icule from the beginning. The judg-
ment of the Copenhagen scientists
rested upon the evidence produced and
may be accepted as conclusive, and
the popular adherence to the verdict
is further ensured by the statement
that he offered no original evidence
whatever. This Is the whole case
against him and in the minds Of the
vast majority it is quite sufficient
He is judged and condemned.
But why not let him alone? He is
friendless. hopeless and forlorn. The
greatest evil doer in the world is the
neediest of all persons. for he lacks
the many qualities without which a
true life is not possible. DR.. Cook
can do no more harm. The Copenhagen
university has taken care of that He
deserves what he has received. Hav.
ing paid the penalty there is no rea.
son in justice why the misery shoult
be sharpened by sneers and ridicule
A man ought not to be kicked wher
he is down and out.

the scenes Of childhood in the old
home.
There are loss and gains in all move
ments. Just what is gained for the
loss of the old home is not apparent.
But we may be sure that the home is
not a dying fact Human nature can
no more do without the ideas and SEN
timents which make up home than 1t
can exist without air to breathe. II
you have faith in experiences, a better
home will develop out of the fiat and
apartment. 1t is hard to guess how,
but general betterment is found in the
end of every economic and historic
movement. The home is not lost. II

Devils Lake Journal: The Lakota
Observer has eventually opened its ed
ttorial mouth and successfully lodged
la foot therein. To those who on re.
Taxation bent occasionally peruse the
humorous columns of this least of
|Gronna's journalistic miIlstones, the
frantic efforts of Editor Metcalf to dis
lodge his hoof will be regarded with
customary mirth. TO give Metcalf his
due let it be said that he has no in
tention of appearing ridiculous-is
as utterly unconscious of acting the
clown as are the monkeys of the zoo,
with whom he possesses many charac-
teristics in common. When Congress
man Gronna professed to have joined
the progressive republicans the apins
editor Of The Observer followed hard
upon the great mans heels. Hs re-
lversed and revised his own small
opinions without excuse or apology
Gronna possessed ambition, and In ord
er to crafty it seized upon the luckless
lprogressives and declared that he was
convert to the cause. The Obs ever
lespoused Gronna's newly acqul-ed
views in order to further prolong an
entirely unnecessary existence. Some
day in the imminent future we shall

Batngate Pink Paper: Attorney Cen
eral Miller has announced his candi-
dacy for the United States senate, sup
lposedly as an insurgent republican. To
this the friends of Marshall and Gronna
are entering protests on the ground
that it will divide the insurgent
strength and permit OF the selection
of stalwart candidate. There is
truth in this for 1t will divide the vote
of the insurgent faction, but Is Miller
to blame? Woud not the same unity
of action prevail If either Gronna or
Marshall were to withdraw? There
has been no convention or gathering
! of insurgents sufficiently large to fair
lily we'll represent them and the canei-
dacy of Miller, Ito Lut 1T mildly,
springs from the wish Of few per-
sonal friends. Mr.. Marshall is a con-
vert to insurgency of comparatively
recent date. At the jamestown con-
vention the insurgents would have car
ried the day IL Marshall has stood
with them. 1t was after that no be-
came an insurgent. Mr.. Gronnt was
nominated by and 1t was understood
that he was the candidate of the stall
