truth that it is the duty of every man
to actively participate in politics; not
merely to vote, but to try to educate
and influence others to join in the effort
to bring about a better society.
The object of this order was simply
to insist that office holders when they
engaged in politics should be decent, and
that strengthening a political machine
by the Influence of federal office
would be discouraged. The dcnunciation
of bosssm in politics is just as applca-
Bile to all politicians, as it is to those
holding positions under the government.
But in the case of the latter the Presi-
dent is in position to enforce proper
conduct, and it is just as commendable
for him to do it, as it is to require evi-
dence of good moral character from an
applicant for a responsible position
1t is surely evident from all that we
have said and from Cleveland's letter
itself, that Theodore Roosevelt cannot
find in this source the slightest iustifi-
cation or precedent, for his own high
handed lawlessncss.

Roosevelt'S Rule.

Here is the amendment which Roose-
welt slipped into section ] of rule J.,
trying to make it appear like a natural
corollary of Cleveland's reasonable rule:
Persons who, by the provisions of these
rules are in the competitive classified
service, while retaining the right to vote
as they please, and to express privately
their opinions on all political subjects
shall take no active part in political
management or in political campaigns
On its face this rule does not appear
to be as vicious as it is. But even if
it meant only what it seems to mean, it
would be bad enough. OF course if
man wishes to exert any effective in
fluence on the political opinions of 9th
ers, he must take an active part in
political campaigns. Why should citi-
zens who stand for what is honest and
good in government be forced to stand
silent at the most important periods of
our civic life at the very times when
INC cHchlleS VI SoclelN are lnOSG dCllNe'
And what is there in the constitution
that gives an executive the right to for
bid any man to assume the burdens of
political management when these are
voluntarily rendered to him by his party
associates. Nor do we as matter of
fact, see any good reason why an ordi-
nary worker in the government employ,
should not have the privilege of running
for office. Is there any reason against
it except those of precedent and preju
dice? We admit, howver, that in the
case of running for office the rule is
supported by some public sentiment.
But who, except Mr.. Roosevelt, would
have carried it to the absurd extremes
covered by his orders. What is there
about blacksmith's duties in a navy
yard that makes him any less suitable a
candidate for municipal office, than
a blacksmith i'll a private shop would
be? Yet members of the Machnists
Union have been Disseminated against
in this way, and their Central Labor
Council issued an appeal to organized
labor, which has apparently received but
little attention.
Discrimination That Is Rank
These laborers and mechanics are
brought within the rule, by a double
exception that is rank in its plain dis
elimination against workingmen, and in
favor of partisan politicians. The rule
forbidding active participation in pc
ltical management or campaigns, makes
an exception in the case of the mclassi-
fled service. Now the unclassified ser
vice consists in part of partisan office
holders anxious to work for the ad
ministration, and in part of laborers and
mechanics who might embarrass the adj
ministration by tellig their grievances,
if their mouths were not stopped. So
Mr.. Roosevelt made an exception of an
execution and put the Workingmen un-

It Is practically assured that at the
time of the opening Of the Grand
Opera house in this city there will be
numerous dress suits ! worn, and it
is, also quite certain that these suits
will Sbe used hereafter at the select
social functions In Devils Lake. This
conclusion is reached from the fact
that numerous dress suits are being
bought in this city and 1t seems to be
the opinion that they arc coming for
this years use. This would seem
proper when tits taken into considera-
ton that in most cities of this size
the dress suit is as necessary to a
social function as is good music Or
good order. .:5z. !; ~; ~

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food,

A trained nurse says: I'm the practice
OF my profession l have found so many
points in favor of Grape-Nuts food that
/ unhesitatingly recommend it to all my
patients.
'Tt is delicate and pleasing 90 the pal
ate ian essential in food for the sick) and
can be adapted TO all ages, being softened
with milk or cream for babies or the aged
when deficiency of teeth renders masti-
cation impossible. For fever patients or
those on liquid diet find Grape-Nuts
and albumen water very n%ourishing and
refreshing.
This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful of
Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for an
hour. strain and serve with the beaten
white OF an egg and a spoonful Of fruit
juice for flavouring. This affords a great
deal of nourishment that even the weak
est stomach can assimilate without any
distress.
MY husband Is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders It
many times for his patients.
Personally / regard a dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or sick. %
In any ease OF m trouble, nervous
prostration or brain flag. a 10 day trial OF
GrApe-Nuts will work wonders toward
n~ourishing and rebuilding and In this
way ending the trouble.
There's a Reason" and trial proves.
