Wednesday,, March "a, 1909.
entered in the postoff1ce at New Ulm,
Mimi, second class matter.

Oklahoma has flashed over the
country SO many false lights of alleged
reform" that it is pleasing to note,
shining from it's appellate bench, a
gay of whose genuineness there can be
no doubt. 1t comes from a decision
by Judge Baker, which so traverses
the idOliZed precedents and traditions
of the bar as to mark it's author as
very likely to prove the judicial
Econoclast for whom the nation has
sighed.
The case was one wherein the de-
Tendant had been convicted of larceny
in a lower court. In denying re-
hearing, Judge Baker said;
'sWhen defendant is clearly
proven to be guilty, this court will
not reverse a conviction upon any
technically or exception which does
not affect che substantial rights OF
the DEFENDANT
Those lines deserve to be printed
IN large type, framed and hung up in
every appellate court in the land
The observance of the rule there laid
down, in civil as we'll as in criminal
cases, would work an almost complete
reform in our barnacle- befouled system
of judicial procedure. 1t would
diminish the number of appeals by
half at least, and therefore the number
OF new trials which cucumber the
dover courts. The alleged necessity
OF providing more judges, which now
looms up at every session of state
Legislature, would disappear.-St
Paul Pioneer Press.

Press Comment
Making Criminals of Them

From the New York Evening Mail We arc tsld that Chinamen are apt to be vicious, degenerate and degraded; that they have no moral principles as we understand the term. And it is true that among the Chinese in the Congested Oriental quarters in our great cities vice is frequently 10 be found in almost every conceivable form.
 Vice--yes; and much of this Chinese vice is the direct offspring of opium, which is forced upon the Chinese na ton bt England In l796 the Chinese prohibited the importation of opium, as they had perfect right to do The English found successful ways of smuggling it into the country; and when, in ls40, the Chinese sought to stop this illicit traffic, the English bon barded their ports, invaded their prov inces, and in two years forced the Chi nese to capitulate and allow free trade in the hideous drug which has debased millions of their people.
 It was Christian nation. aided and abetted by the other Christian nations. which compelled the Chinese to accept this soul-destroying drug, to which the contemplatiive Chinese nature is De culiarly susceptible.
 It is Christian nation which has segregated the Chinese in this country in the vilest slums and relegated them to the wort influences that the white man can bring to bear upon the brown and black and yellow races And has there ever been, since the beginning of history, baser record than the story of the white man $ influence up on his "inferiorsqv A home continent depopulsted of a noble red race, an Oceanic island world decimated and hopelessly diseased. an Africa stained with unspeakable eruelties and reeking with massacre, a China debased and perverted, andswer that question to our shamei
 No-our skirts are not clear in the ease of these sad-eyed Orientals who are so honest and so harmless under ordinary conditions, but who sometimes seem subter- human in their vices. We are reaping, in the case of such trag edies as that of Elsie Sigel, the harvest of a seed that we have sown. We have been at infinite pains to make strange, dark and ingenious criminals out of these people.

The "aood Old Grandmother.

From the Ohio State Journal.
 Watching the carriages and autos go by on gentle afternoon, one cannot help but notice the prominence given to the good old grandmother, whose serene face and gray hair seem a part of the beauty of the day, but what is fairer and sweeter yet is the tender love of son or daughter which makes it so. This looking up to the dear old grandmother and the many visible pnr poses to make her declining days fnll of sunshine and tender tribute is one of the choicest phases of human nature.
 She has the best seat in the vehic!e, the faces are tarned to her mostly, all the beautiful objects are pointed ont for her to see, and when the ride is all over, if she is happy, it has been most enjoyable. It is little scenes like these that honor life the most, and put in the hearts of men and women and the boys and girls the purest mot ives and the highest purposes.

THE PURE FOOD LAY

In spite of all the fun that was poked at Dr.
 Wiley's so-called ''poison-squad;" in spite of the hostility that has developed from time to | time against the workings of the pure food law that regulation against fosting injurious and improper foodstuffs upon the public has come finally to be fairly we'll understood and we be lieve, most heartily approved But at last there is to be formidable attack upon the law ! in suit brough against the department 1 of agriculture by the Hipoite Egg com pany of St Louis. This company has been in the habit of preserving eggs by the use of boric acid, which the department, after skilled investigation, has declared to be injurious. A consignment of treated eggs was seized at Pc oria, H., and the suit that has been filed is for the purpose of securing an injunction against the seizure of any more eggs and is an attempt to have the law declared unconstitutional. What makes this attack upon the law more important is the fact that there is reason to believe that the plaintiff in the is support ed by other extensive users of boric acid as a preservative--the beef packers and other man. ufacturers of food products.
 The question forced to an issue is not wheth- CT borc acid is a harmful adulterant, as the ex- perts of the department of agriculture declare 1t is, but whether not the law is constitution al MT. Charles Somers, attorney for the plain tiff, said: #t8 t
 Even though it could be determined
 that this acid is harmful, we are convinced that if the pure food law were tested it
 would prove to be unconstitutional.
 Let us hope that the attorney is mistaken, and let us not be deceived into thinking that this is a trivial question. Most of us can remember the scandals involved in the beef packing in quiry of few years ago and how it practically killed for time the export of our canned meats abroad. By the greatest care and the most stringent regulations we have emerged from this slough, and only the other day the news came that hundreds of thousands of pounds of preserved beef had been ordered from this country for use in the British army This was a sign of returning confidence in the purity of our products, and nothing would do more to shake that confidence and send us back to where we were than retrograde movement in the pure food regulations
 It may be that the law will uphold the con tentor of the St. Louis egg company, but if it

THE COLLEGE MAYS PROBLEM

1t sounds coldly calculating when heard with out context to hear baccaaureate preacher telling the students about to be introduced into practical life from Dartmouth college, "Now Iyou are called upon to earn your own living. From this time on honor money getting, money and power." But it is the love of money, not money itself, that is the prophets root of all evil. The difference is that between greed and thrift Avarice springs from covetousness, for bidden as long ago as the writing of the Deca- logue thrift is a quality most desirable in youth and essential to the normal prosperity of life in later years The graduate fresh from college halls and campus will find the world, if he is forced at once into self-reiance and re- sources of his own discovery and earning, a hard place to make profitable way.
 His first task, if alone and unaided, will be to find employment that shall yield him physi- cal support while leading toward the higher walks of the work that he has chosen for his life That task in itself often implies digent and persistent search But when the work is once found it will be discovered that it's initial reward is moderate. In most cases 1t will be so scant as to leave little margin beyond the neces- sties of respectable self-support. Moreover, there is at this period the additional burden up- on youth of specializing himself for his select ed career of industry, professional or in any of the multifarous paths of business But most young men, while going through this ordeal, can find way to put aside something It is not the amount that counts so much as the firm for nation of the habit. Nor does this imply the acquisition of parsimony. Intelligent thrift need not freeze the generous springs of fine personal character.
 Simultaneously, the thrifty collegian, from his first entrance into the stern arena of life, would be wise in not putting aside the sacred duty of searching for the right woman to make his wife. It may be necessary to postpone mat rimony for a while, but the interval should be filled with an ambition not only for self sup port, but for the founding of home. Domes- ticity is normally instinctive, while morally it holds in matrimony the most desirable state. Bachelorhood, when of deliberate choice, i'm plies selfishness, although as every one knows its origin or prolongation may be wholly altru- istic Carpe diem is advice that needs accom- panying and far-sighted purpose. It is possi- ble to seize and utilize the days as they fit in such fashion as to make every one of them contribute to the happiness of later years.

4 HUSBANDS DILEMMA

| There is young husband in Philadelphia who is in domestic trouble He complains to a magistrate that he is awakened from sleep at ? a. m to find his wife and the boarder, who is fifty-six kneeling at his bedside and praying Ivociferously and ecstatically that he be sancti- fed He ayers that theologically he is in no need of conversion, while morally his works justify his faith
 | Perhaps it is no wonder that the lower bench of Philadelphia was so perpexed by the spec tace of case of concrete domestic infelicity, Apparently arising out of abstraction of theol- ogy, that the magistrate dismissed the case. But he might have added few words of admo- milton, of which this particular young husband seems sadly in need. Possibly he might have found relief by getting on his own knees recall l ling his evangelistic training, and outpraying his overanxious disturbers of nocturnal peace and slumber. Or he might persist in silent suf- fering with the endurance of martyr until the troubler grew weary of efforts both vain and needless.
 But there is another and better way that might have been suggested by the court, even in the City of Brotherly Love- Did neither this
 
 band ever hear of athletic Christianity The Scriptural injunction about turning the other cheek doubtless has it's worthy applications but most believers in the dignity of manhood must recall with appreciative approval the tale of the young clergyman who literally obeyed that command, but who after meekly receiving the two slaps, turned about and thrashed the assal- ant until he howled for mercy. It seems that there was preacher capable of winning con Iverts
 That Philadelphia husband suffers from pus- ilanimity. His remedy is plain. He should leap out of bed, make the boarder intimately and bloodily acquainted with the power of his fist, and then kick him out of doors. The wife would probably discover suddenly and convincingy the claims of domestic duty. The exercise of energy so appropriate would perhaps increase the husband $ earning capacity to such degree that the income from boarder would be super fuous It might also stimulate his selfrespect to the point where he would feel himself worthy to return to the pulpit, where, it may be con- jectured he was no ornament.

FEMININE INCENTIVES TO INDUSTRY

FEMININE INCENTIVES TO INDUSTRY
 It is bold man who would undertake to give to the members of Progressive Woman 's Suffrage Society" lecture on the merits of the fair sex within the allotted time of ten minutes But that is what mere man and young man undertook to do in New York It was perhaps fortunate for him that his time was short, for he dilated uncomfortably upon what he seemed to think were the good old times when court ship consisted in the athletic swain knocking down his sweetheart and carrying her off to preside over the domestic affairs of his particu- lar cave. He did not make it plain how this antique form of marriage comported with mod ern woman suffrage but he drew the inference that man is afraid to grant woman equal civil liberty-because he thinks she will get ahead of him. He concluded that man does not want pacemaker in woman, because she would spur him on to greater effort than had ever been made.
 Apparently this youth has yet to learn that mans best pacemaker has ever been woman. It was the runaway Helen who gave Homer a story to write and 1t is the stay-at-home mod ern and model wife who causes the husband to put forth his best efforts to keep her there in affectionate and contented helpfulness.
 An Alabama man petitions for divorce and alleges that his wifes ''constant talking" tends Ito drive said defendant to drink" Consider ing the alleged ''dryness" of Alabama. that woman should have little trouble annexing an other husband, if the court grants this plea.
 Considering the enormous number of laws on our statute books, it seems queer that the sugar trust never discovered one it actually inclined to respect emphatically until it ran across the statute of limitations.
