ENGLISH DIVORCE REFORM.

The divorce situation in England is
slightly different to what 1t is in the
United States. In this country an eff
tort is being made to make 1t more diff
ficult to secure divorces. In Great Bril-
tain some of the barriers, which have
heretofore made separations difficult
TO obtain, may be removed.
The present British divorce laws
were enacted in 1878 and since that
time the only grounds upon which a
husband could divorce a wife were
those commonly designated in this
country as statutory. The wife had
even a more dificult time. In addition
to proving the unfsithfulness OF her
husband she was also forced to show
she had been deserted as well.
The people Of England are now re-
voting against this unfair law. There
appears to be no reason why she should
not be granted as liberal rights as
those under which the men secure re
lief.

Dickinson, N. D., May 9.-To The

There are no less than fourteen new

ORATORS NOT POPULAR.

Returns from over the state indicate
that the political speakers are not at
tracing large crowds. There is rea-
son-in fact several OF them. One OF
the main causes of failure is that the
farmers are too busy. They are get
ting their crops in and later on will
have more time to listen to the claims
of the candidates.
Another reason is that this is what
is generally termed an "off" year in
politics. There is no presidential cam
paign, no great national issues being
agitated and there is a spirit of indif-
ference among the voters of North Da-
kota, They care less about the politi-
cal situation. There will be less per-
sonal sentiment in the campaign this
year than in 1908 and far less bitter
ness and soreness among the factions
within the republican party.

CAUSE or ECZEMA EXPLAINED

After years of debate medical au-
Fthorities are now agreed that Eczema
and other skin diseases are not seated
lin the blood, but are caused by myriads
of microscopic animals gnawing the
flesh just below the epidermis. The
patient is perfectly healthy, it is only
the skin that Is diseased.
Hence, scientists are now agreed
that you must cure the skin through
the skin. The medicine must be in
liquid form In order to penetrate prop
erly. And we can say with confidence
that we have the true remedy for Ec-
zema in our store

wheatland News: Much has been
touted about boss rule in this state.
The people who have made the most
over 1t have shown how sincere their
utterances have been by constituting
themselves a committee of "elimina-
ton" and put their ticket in the field
for the progressive or insurgent vot-
ers to walk up to the primaries and
vote for. This is an elimination CD
of boss rule, indeed. This is the "hol-
Ter than thou" kind of politics that the
Marshall Gronna, ETC., contingent are
trying to push down the threats of the
voters of North Dakota.
Even in the days when it was sold
Mckenzie held sway and was the big
boss, there never was anything like
this. Then to go further, these men
who claim they are the representatives
of the progressive people of North
Dakota, have tried and are trying to
become the bosses of the republican
party in this state. And each one who
into the "holy aHinace" has been feed

itch.
There is also feature that is strik-
ingly progressive. Each of the pro-
gressives or insurgents will claim that
the primary was instituted SO that
each man could register his vote for
whomsoever he chose. 1t is obvious
that the democrats have held their
convention and put ticket in the
| field. The insurgents have done like
| wise. And the stalwarts, who are
credited with opposition to the prim-
ary law is the only faction in the state

than any other man or combination of
men in the state. It is comparatively
easy to fill an Office like that of state
auditor, state treasurer or any Of the
