TO be able to lick the school prin-
cipal.
To marry the smartest girl in the
class.
To be president of the United States.
To make a decent living.

1t is easy enough TO cure man Of

way. The title of her new play A
Woman's Way in which she viii be
seen at the Fargo operahouse next
Monday evening might lead one to
think that all women do 1t that one
way, but titles are misleading. Per-
haps some women wouldn't consider
lit worth the trouble. Perhaps some
husbands wouldn't be good subjects.
But Howard Stanton in this comedy
is as good as lots of men and therefore
his wife, Marion, perhaps thought him
worth the keeping, worth shedding
tears over; thus differing from some
other women who might be glad
enough If their husbands ditched their
autos and revealed correspondent.
The result Is a light and bright
comedy which serves Miss George ex.

Travellers Tales

The mother and the baby had gone
to bed one night after waiting for the
man of the house until late, but all in
vain. He was all right only he sure
did love to go across the river and
after The saloons had closed he liked to
sit at one of the restaurant tables and
eat. The mother and child went up
stairs and went to sleep, but in the
watches of the night the little one grew
restless and finally woke up. The eff
forts of the tired mother to get the
child to sleep were all unavailing. The
baby wanted to be entertained and
time after time she asked her mamma
to tell fairy story, she being par
ticularly fond of hearing the nursery
tales. At last the mother said:
Wait until your papa comes and
he will tell us both fairy story" p.
Sam Crabbe, the ex-city engineer,
as is known to everybody about Fargo,
is most enthusiastic poultry fancier
and he has some of the finest and
freakiest fowls known to mankind His
latest is a freak of the Siamese twins
variety. This product of a double egg
consists of two chickens, joined at the
sides. One of the twins is hen and
the other a rooster.
Quarrels between the inseparable
pair are frequent, and of course of long
duration. Early in the morning the
rooster, like all good roosters do, in
sists on growing, thus disturbing the
slumber of his sister. When the latter
wants to lay an egg, the rooster pre-
fers to hunt for worms. What will
happen when the hen gets broody is
awaited with interest by the freaks
owner.
Clarence A. Hale, the Grand Forks
insurance man, who has been in the
city for several days attending the
Scottish Rite meeting and the Shrine
today, is one of the most popular mer
of his town, as he is wherever he is
known, and he has a very wide ac-
lquaintance. Some years ago he used
| to be a travelling salesman, and Fargo
was one of the places he tarrled in, fol
he always liked the place. Said he in
| talking to a friend yesterday afternoon
at one of the leading hotels: Really

TARIFF LAW MAKES GOOD.

The tariff law went into effect on
July 1, 1909. The results under it as

May 3, 1910-compared with the CORE

that is from July /, 1908, to May, 1909

ARE as follows:

Elk. of EXPENSES 17,9O4,Os6 $ OLA, 800
This summary shows that in ten
months the most maligned tariff bill
ever passed by congress has increased
the revenues from customs $3762O,321
and from internal revenues $174S79S3
and-during the same period-the ex-
penses of the government show a re-
freshing shrinkage of $1,74O,497. This
is small, but it is an earnest of what
may be expected if the Taft adminis-
tration gets the full advantage Of it's
opportunities under the present reve-
nue. system. There is a condition be-
hind these increased revenues which

-and party disruptionists persistently

lieve that every man should have an
opportunity to defend himself againct
his political enemies. 1t is true that
his friends have stood by him nobly,
and this fact has gone a long ways to
remove certain prejudices against him.
Senator McCumber has a right to de-
fend his career and we will be glad
to have him do so. The people should
know the men they vote for, and there
fore we think that al the voters
should await his side of the question
before passing judgment. He says his
record is straight and that he did all
he could for North Dakota. He should
be heard impartially, and given fair
chance. The Sentinel believes in fair
play in all walks of life, and we believe
that McCumber's sickness has been
the cause of him not getting fair play
so far.
Darlington Record: There is one
man running for Office in this state
this year who seems to be going to
win unanimously" and that man is
L. B. Hanna, candidate for congress
to succeed himself. Of all the ex-
changes that come to our table, we
have never noticed one republican pa
per opposing him, and practically all
of them have endorsed his candidacy.
He is running as a republican, and
has not allied himself with any bunch
of political bosses, and this fact is
going to add materially to his strength.
He is one of the few candidates that
after the primaries, all republican pa
! pers can turn in and work for and
not have to reverse any pre- primary
statements. -..-.

Grand Forks attacking Congressman
| Hanna and Senator McCumber should

state against the insurgent dictators
They attack McCumber and Hanna
for standing by President Taft and the
republican administration. What else
could a republican do? If they expect
Hanna and McCumber to turn demo
cratic or vote. against the administra-
ton of the party they represent, they
will be disappointed in the future as
they have been in the past Both OF
! these men are staunch republicans and
can be depended upon to stand with
the republican party
Edmore Herald 1t looks as though
L. B. Hanna would have clear sailing
for a denomination and reelection this
year. Mr. Hanna has made a good
representative in congress and we be-
lieve that the people of the state will
make no mistake in returning him
Little fault can be found with Mr.
Hanna in his past record either In
state or national politics, and from
what we can learn the sentiment of the
people is to keep him where he is.

and IL the wheelbarrow had been paid on

How much work would q farmer per-
form for a cent? How far would he haul a
ton Of freight, or do any labor connected
with It, for that price? A child buys a
penny stick of candy in a moment of pass
ing fancy, yet the American railways re-
ceive for the carriage of the average ton
of freight per mile, about three-quarters
of the retail price Of the child's purchase,

aged to make the removed segment larger

ricr smaller.
IF the Missouri Pacific had averaged
the retail price OF a penny stick of candy
for hauling each ton of freight one mile
during the last fiscal year, millions OF
dollars would have been added to its treas
ury, labor would have continued without
interruption and the public business would
have felt the impetus both from the pur-
chase of supplies and from a more ample
service to and this without APP
