100 TO / ON THE MURDERER.
Must These Tremendous Odds Against
the Law Continue.

Louisville Courier Journal: The
failure of juries to convict and the
readiness of those welding the pardon
ing or parole power to extend
clemency is responsible for the fact
that homicides in the United States
have sometimes passed the 10000 mark
within year. Because an industrial
war" has grown out of conditions in
agricultural Kentucky this state has
been well to the fore for the last three
years as scene of unpublished dis
order, but the ineffectiveness of juries
in criminal trials, which is the root Of
the evil, is national. IL has served to
make the United States unique among
civilized countries for its failure to
protect, by its enforcement of criminal
laws, the rights set forth in the Declar-
alton of independence as the common
heritage of all men, and mentioned in
the preamble Of that historic docu-
ment as the first Of the causes Justify
ing a revolution.
The Courier Journal reprinted from
an Eastern paper the other day a let
ter from an American farmer now
resident i'm Canada, dwelling upon the
advantages of life there. He said:
THE man that breaks the law is
jailed. He can have fifty guns and
$4,000, he can have any sort of blame
pull you like-but he is just going to
be Jailed. Maybe he'll kill a North
west policeman. Well, then he'll hang
for dead sure thing. All Canada
knows it, and we Americans know 1t,
and that's why this country is a good
country to live In
That farmer was not from Kentucky,
but from Minnesota-he was a farmer
from the United States, where the
betting against conviction in a homicide
case is always 100 to 1, according to the
cold statistics of crime Our govern
ment is, In form and in theory, as dem
ocratic as 1t can be made. We can
not correct this evil by resort to arms
and a revolution. and very few of us
will resort to emigration. What are
the rest of us going to do about it
Are the odds always to be 100 to 1 on
the murderer and 100 to / against the
law?.

housework is much more worldly wise
than the mistress who wants to moth
err" her.
You cannot mix business and person
al relations successfully, especially in
one small house or apartment. The
wise woman is kind and thoughtful,
but let's the maid conduct her kitchen
and personal affairs herself. If she ia
not suited she can easily change serv-
ants.
Many maid has left an otherwise
good situation because the mistress
persisted In fussing around the kitchen,
doing odd bits of cooking and disturb
ing things generally.
IL the mistress wants to muss around
IN the kitchen, why does she hire a
maid at all If the latter knows her
work, and a good maid does, she re-
sents greatly this continual spying and
interference in her work, not to speak
OF the constant bother and extra dirty
dishes.
Another thing that a really good maid
dislikes Is to be made the object OF her
mistress condolences, domestic difficult
ties. etc.

A PRIZE WINNER.
Forty Cent Meal Omitted Cocktails,
Cigars, Cigarettes and Wine.

In view of the innumerable COM
plants about increased cost of living
the intellectual contest instituted by
Chicago newspaper in which a prize
was awarded for the best bill Of fare
for dinner for four persons. the cost
not to exceed 40 cents, seems of more
general Importance than such con-
tests frequently are. The prize win
ming menu comprises vermicelIi soup
bread and butter. veal fricassee. mash
ed potatoes, Dutch slaw, baked apple
and coffee. The omission of cock
tails, cigars and cigarettes is quite
natural, their cost would not properly
be included in the 40 cents.
Indeed, at the moderate outlay OF a
dime for each person the dinner is
remarkable as 1t stands. Doubtless
It's author submitted a schedule of
prices. VermicellI soup presupposes
the existence of soup stock which can
not be had for nothing. Veal, cabbage
and potatoes are not cheap these days.
Not only the most ingenious economy
on the part of the cook. but poor APP
pettes on the part of the diners
would be required to make the dinner
thus planned reasonably successful.
The ordinary mind must be puzzled
to comprehend the method by which
this menu was chosen out If 10000
submitted. Many Americans refuse
to eat veal in any form. We do not
think the prejudice against 1t sensible,
but the fact is indisputahle. There
are few, too, who avoid coffee. pre-
sumahly beef could be substituted in
the stew, and tea for the coffee With
out increasing the cost. The reading
Of 10000 bills Of fare to select one
worthy of a prize must require more
patience and more practical knowledge
than the reading of 1000 plays to Sc
lect one or two for performance. Yet
It is safe guess that there was a
strong similarity between all the
menus submitted Astrakhan caviar
SQUAD, chicken and endive, we may be
sure, appeared on none. The outcome
- scarcely revolutionary. vermicelli
soup, stewed veal and mashed pota-
toes were already within the conpre-
fension Of the poorest housekeepers.

WAS UP AGAINST IT
Claimed Abe Snyder Was About to be
Married and Needed Money in
Worst Way.

Before leaving Fargo in company
with Sheriff Doyle of Benson, Mimi,
Abe Snyder conversed with a friend
on some of the inside facts. 1t appears
that he was to be married in Min
neapolis in short time. He had some
money and engaged in the cigar bust
ness and failed. He then bought a
picture machine and lost on that
heavily. The young man was in
desperate straits and resorted to
robbery to get some ready money. He
used no care in concealing his work
and was easily found.
Today eighteen boxes Of cigars pur-
chased by a Front street dealer were
returned TO Benson. The cigars were
brought here by Snyder and sold at
a ridicuously low price.

Grain Opinions,

Finley, Darrell & Cove advise

lieve that lower prices will ultimately
be experienced. We do not look for
any marked Improvement in corn
values in the immediate future.
Logan & Bryan-Would advise
over confidence on the selling side OF
wheat on the breaks so long as there
is no sign of unloading on the part of
strong bull leaders who have large
holdings, especially in September con-
tracts.
Shearson, Hammill e. Co.-After
several days decline wheat price may
and perhaps should have a scalping
rally, but strained position of the May
Delivery threatens the whole market.
We still think the wheat should be sold
on the reactions.

Today's storm, or snow furry as

of the Moorhead Weather bureau
is worth millions to the state of
North Dakota. The moisture which
has fallen in the way of sleet, rain
and snow will do a vast amount of
good to the crops of all kinds
throughout the state and broad

1t will, in all likelihood. be over
by night according to the forecast as
given out at the weather bureau at 3
o'clock this afternoon.
Practically all parts of the state are
covered today with sleet and snow,
following the rains of yesterday and
last night. Mr.. Grasse stated that the
wires were down all over North Da-
kota and therefore he could not get
any information from other parts of
the state. The Western Union is cut
off west Of Valley City. The North
western telephone service Is greatly
disrupted west of this and the Tri-
State has also considerable trouble in
various parts of the state owing to the
sleet which fell all morning. Over at
Moorhead the weather signal flying
from the top of the weather bureau
shows white, which means clear and
warmer weather.
