Playing a Return Engagement.

There is q return to the old favorites.
A war between Russia and China could
not be arranged. China, as usual, was
unprepared. Russia's terms had to be ac-
cepted. AS now appears, they were not
unreasonable, and things should now pro-
coed smoothly between the two powers.
So the old favorites, America and Japan,
must take their places again. and annihi-
late each other for the forty-seventh
time-on paper.
The draft on credulity is heavy, but
the takers make it jauntily. We are all
smiles to Mexico. though convinced OF
meditated treachery on her part. Mexico
is all smiles to us while in secret agree
ment with Japan for our destruction.
President Taft and President Diaz are
sly officials, each feeling diligently for the
others fifth rib.
We negotiate q treaty with Japan. and
the President sends cordial felicitations
to the mikado, at time when we are
convinced that Japan is in league against
US and preparing to strike us. Japan
responds to our expressions Of friendship
with expressions of like character when
busy with war preparations. and keen
for the arrival Of the day when she is
to begin hammering us.
And enter again Count Won Reventlow.
the German naval expert, who, from his
post, is working out plans for the con-
fiict. Recently he quoted Admiral Dewey
as the author Of strong anti-Japanese
sentiments, which the admiral promptly
repudiated. The count replies by saying
that six or seven years ago he saw such
sentiments attributed to the admiral in
an interview. and as he had never seen
denial of them he had a right to as
sumo them as fact.
This makes 1t interesting for Acmiral
Dewey henceforth. Imagine him saying
to his secretary at the close of each days
business: ANY interviews attributed to
me today?'
None, SIR"
you are certain"
1.-THE files Of the leading newspapers
have been searched carefully, SIR"
Keep both eyes peeled. Let no slow
descending sun set on any spurious ex-
preston left uncontradicted. I'm willing
to stand for my own views, but must de-
cline the compliment Of standing for
other peoples. The interviewers may fire
when they are ready. but we must be
ready to return the fire on the instant.
Don't let . single guilty interview escape"
Thus it Is seen that the interview in
the hands OF faker may be made to add
a new terror to life. Left uncontradicted
for longer period than twenty-four
hours. it becomes fact and quotable as
a matter Of history. Still. in spite OF
all bogus interviewers, all naval experts
meddling where they have no business,
all amateur statesmen filled with noisy
prophecy, America and Japan are not
enemies. but friends. and neither false
hood nor oficiousness can force them into
strife.

A PoLYeoT WEDDING.

Richmond Va, pulled off a wedding
a few days ago--which would have
made the mix-up at the Tower Of
Babel sound musical.
A Russian bride-who knew only
Russian-married Polish bridegroom
who knew only Polish-through an
interpreter who spoke only German
and Russian-before a judge whose
sole Iingual accomplishment was Eng
lish.
That courtship must have been like
a moving picture love affair-for the
two hearts with but a single thought
weren't able to think out loud in any
thing that was mutually Ineligible.
The Judge acted wholly on suspicion
for he couldn't understand the bride,
the groom or the so-called interlocutor
whose spoken words had meaning
only for the bride.
All in all, it would strike us that
there is ground for suspecting the two
tongued interpreter was married-in-
stead Of the would-be bridegroom.

off the Red river valley counties into
one district and then divide the rest
Of the state into north and south dis
tricts.
This plan would throw both the
present congressman into the same
district, place Grand Forks and Fargo,
the two largest cities Of the state in
one district and would make a shoe
string district that would have no adj
vantage over the present method of
electing the members at large. Other
bills viii be introduced
If the original plan is adopted, Fargo
would be the biggest city in enc dis
trict, Grand Forks in the other and
for the next ten years Minot and Bis
marck would be in the same. A de-
cade hence each would have district
and all would be compact-and the in
terests uniform. ..

If you are subject to constipation,

they come in contact

MONDAY, JAN. 80, 1911.
CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.

The proposed reciprocity with Can
ada holds nothing of advantage for the
agricultural states of the west The
Forum can readily see why the big
jobbers, the manufacturers and the
millers would like to see the bars let
down. But there is nothing in the
plan that would win the support of
any man-with the interests OF the
farmers Of North Dakota and other
sections of the northwest at heart.
North Dakota farmers will certainly
not be benefited by the admission OF
free wheat and free live stock. They
may gain a tribe in free lumber-but
as long as they can receive 10 to IL
cents Der bushel more for their wheat
than Canadian farmers-they can af-
ford to purchase higher priced lum-
Der.
The reciprocity scheme would
.cheapen everything the North Dakota
farmer would raise. 1t would make
the farms OF this state less reIlullel d
tive--and the prices of land and all
other values of a kindred nature would
fall.
1t would cheaper the North Dakota
Sarmer-and North Dakota doesn't
want cheap people.
The Forum sincerely hopes the
North Dakotans in the national con-
gress will stand pat and oppose the
reciprocity plan. 1t viii greatly bene-
fit the fasteners and all non-agricul-
tural sections Of the country. 1t will
make foodstuffs cheaper and give more
employment to the factories of the east
but the western farmers-and prac-
ticaIly every industry in the west
would suffer irreparably.

Mental Swine

Duluth Herald: There Is a class Of
human beings who have the most per-
verified sense of humor that can be i'm
imagined. They revel in the things
that decent people shun and abhor.
they take the same delight in the lewd
or filthy story that the scavenging
bird or animal does in an unsavory
mess of carrion. But there is this
difference-the bird and animal are
so constructed physically that they
get the kind of nourishment they need
out of the food no other creature will
touch, whereas the man who feeds his
mind on filth only degrades his mental
and moral power by every such in
diligence.
There is another difference. The
scavenging bird and animal will fight
to keep others of its kind from sharing
in the mess of carrion it has discover
ed, but the human swine who finds
what, to his rotten mentality seems a
choice bit of filth, rushes off to pass
it on to somebody else. 1t makes no
difference to him whether the one he
has chosen to share it with him is of
the same degraded class as himself.
He will inflict the putrid stuff on the
most decent, clean minded person he
encounters, and will chuckle with de-
light as he passes on.
There are state and city laws to
govern such cases, and the officials on
whom develops the task of enforcing
them do their best, but it is a diff
cult task 1t is so easy to slip piece
Of writing or printing into the pocket
and keep it hidden from the eye of the
law. The federal government too,
has provided strict rules against the
passage of such matter through the
mails, but who can tell the contents Of
sealed envelope?
If the human swine who take de-
light in the circulation of the lewd and
filthy would confide their traffic to
those of their own stamp, perhaps the
case would not be so bad. They would
accumulate the mess in their own
minds and ultimately, from excess Of
indulgence of such putridity, carry
their accumulations with them to the
grave, or at the worst leave it to
others like themselves, and the class
would finally die out.
But they are not so merciful. They
pass it on Unfortunately, and it gets
into the hands of those who are too
young to recognize it as the excres-
cence of the vilest part of the lowest
order of human beings, and the cult
gets new recruits from every gene
ration.
There are enough who are so de-
cent as to despise and abhor this par
ticular kind of filth. to put an effective
check on its circulation, IL they were
only brave and determined enough to
use their power. If the decent-mind-
ed citizen would make 1t point TO
protest againts the outrage to his own
mind when such matter is presented to
1t, and to turn the offender over to the
proper authorities when the action is
done in a form that is open to local,
state or national action, he would be
doing a service to all mankind and
would help materially to put a stop to
the accursed work of these mental
swine.

CLEANUP AT MUNICH.
States Attorney Crimson and Promi-
nent Citizens Get Busy.

Munich, N. D., Jan. SO.-States At
torney G.. Crimson arrived home from
the county seat Tuesday night after
spending the last three weeks over
there. Within forty-eig hours
of his arrival he had in
custody one Andrew A. Goulden,
who had been running a pig here
since last Christmas. The city council
and prominent citizens are back of the
states attorney in cleaning up the
town. This town will no longer be a
celebrated resort for the "tin horn
sport" and professional piggers. 1t is
Mr.. Grimson's intention to organize a
similar movement in every town in the
county and We look to see Cavalier
county as law -abiding as any in the
state. Mr.. Crimson aims to put it on
the list of those counties which the
professional criminal pigger and tin
horn gambler will give wide berth
II is to be hope that he will be sup
ported by all good citizens. We want
Cavalier county money spent at home
in legitimate enterprises and not given
to people of the above class to take
out of the state.

have been used in making the expert
ments
1.-The results were first made public
at the convention of the American
Warehousemen's association at Wash
ington. ID, c., last week, in an address
by Dr. Mary E. Pennington, the gov
eminent expert who has been in
charge of this work. In summarizing
these tests the doctor said:
Undrawn Declared Better.
"Undrawn poultry decomposes more
slowly than does poultry which has
been either partially or wholly eviscer-
ated. Full-drawn poultry-that is,
completely eviscerated, with heads and
feet acknowledgements most rapid
idly. Boston drawn and wire drawn
poultry stands midway between the
undrawn and the full drawn in the
speed Of decomposition, the wire
drawn, which is most like the UNI
drawn, Is the better.
"The foregoing deductions are based
on shipments of dry picked, chill
ed, dry packed, unwashed fowls which
have been studied at every stage Of
marketing, from the packer to the
consumer. The effect of dressing on
delayed marketing is now under in
vestigation.
1T is significant, and DR.. Penning-
ton points out this significance in the
paper read. that the investigations
were conducted under actual market
conditions. This is in striking contrast
to the efforts of other investigators to
determine the question by use of lab
oratory methods. The infinite care and
attention employed in the evisceration
of q bird in the laboratory is not OBJ
served in every day practice, so the re-
suit of tests conducted in the labora
tory lose their force when applied to
the actual killing. packing and hand
ling of poultry.
DIR. Pennington's tests and the con-
clusions obtained therein are there
fore all the more forcefuL 1t is to be
expected that they will go great way
toward settling the question as to
which is the best and safest method of
marketing poultry-drawn or UNI
drawn"
