EXCUSES WHICH ACCUSE.

New York Tribune: Italy would do
better to base her case in TripoIi on
the simple and elemental ground that
she wants the territory and therefore
takes 1t, with the intention Of Justify
ing her action by results. That would
be direct and sincere, and would
probably be on the whole more salts
factory than some Of the more sophis-
Gated explanations which are being
put forward in her behalf.
Here for example. is Gen. Ricciotti
Garibaldi declaring that Tripon must
be Italian and undertaking to tell WIN.
Italy, he says, is not merely initiating
other Euronean powers, such as Great
Britain, France and Germany. in un-
dertaking this act OF colonial expan-
sion. Her rights ii Tripoli are based
upon the tacit recognition of Europe
and understanding with the chief
Mediterranean powers. But he omits
to explain the moral validity Of any
such agreement which does not in
clude the actual owner of the territory
In question Again, he says, that Italy
goes in and takes the land. The the
DRY that If nation viii not sell 1t is
liable to have that property taken
from 1t does not commend itself to all
senses of equity.
Such excuses accuse. The course of
Italy may be vindicated on other
grounds, but surely not on such as
these. If Turkish government In Tri-
poll has been intolerable, or offensive
and inimical to the legitimate inter-
ests Of Italy the latter power has a
right to seek redress We may even
say that if In what looks like a gen
eral distribution OF African territori IS
there We're danger that the region
nearest to Italy and directly affecting
her welfare and security would fall
into hostile cor potentially hostile
hands, Italy might be justified under
the primal principle Of self defense n
taking forcible possession OF It, That
IS what the United States has done,
and we are not inclined to be censor
ious of others for doing the same. But
excuses which accuse had better be
left out of the case.

GENERAL sickLEs AGAIN.

There was a time when the name of
Gen. Daniel Sickles was pretty often
i'm the press and on the lips Of the re-
public. He had lot Of enthusiastic
friends and many violent enemies.
One would have thought that all the
latter would be dead by this time.
Indeed it will be interesting to a good
many older men to know that the old
union general is still alive and fight

eastern newspaper records the fact
that he has just been hlackballed by
the members OF military 3organiza-

of the military order OF the Loyal Lee

birthday, in b1ackballing him a
second time after many years. The
New York commandery of the order,
membership in which descends in the
male line according to the rules of
primogeniture, was instituted in 1855,
and General Sickles was proposed for
membership not long after There
was enough feeling against him at the
time, however, to cause his rejection,
and the feeling appears to have been
visited upon him for at least one gem

The EtsrnaI Feminina.

She was one of those sweet little
women to whom nobody could posi-

large shopping bag. The conductor
pulled the tingler and the car pro-

The little woman knew that she had
nickel somewhere and began explor-

of cloth, spools Of thread, newspaper
clippings containing recipes, miniature
photographs and handkerchief. With
small cry of joy she discovered a
knot in one corner of the handkerchief
and knew that within the knot there
reposed the much sought solitary
nickel.
It took her some time to unite the
knot in the corner Of the handker-

smile that would have melted the
heart of solid marble statue of Julius

roo MANY MURDERS.

"Odious as comparisons may be,
frequently they are invaluable instru-
mentalities in pointing the way to re-
FORM" BY comparisons, sometimes,
people can be rudely jolted into a re-
alization Of the truth. No sane per-
son would denounce as untrue the
statement that too many murders
are committed In this country" Yet
all might be more concerned IL bet
ter informed about the horrible
bloodshed Indicated by the number Of
homicides in the United States. In
dignantly, most citizens would deny
that this is a lawless nation. Amer
leans claim to be peaceful people.
But comparative figures, pertaining to
homicide-presente at the meeting
Of the American Prison congress at
Omaha-reveal matters in a different
and entirely unpleasant light.
According to statistics collected, for
each 100000 Of population, there
were lis homicides in the United
States last year. In italy the rate
was fifteen. In Canada thirteen and
in Great Britain it was nine. In
London in 1910. only nineteen killings
occurred. In New York during the
last year 1l9 homicides were report
ed On Chicago's red record for the
same period. are inscribed accounts
of 202 murders.
Certainty OF punishment keeps down
the murder total Of London. OF the
nineteen persons accused ten were
convicted, five committed suicide and
four were acquitted. OF 119 brought to
trial for murder, New York con-
vtcted forty-five OF 202 charged
with homicide, Chicago hanged but
two. In British dominlons, eonyic-
ton is almost certain. In the United
States aided by technicalities. quib-
bles and opportunities to appeal
those accused are much more likely
to escape punishment. In Canada the
law is strictly enforced. But. where
could Americans find conditions worse
than the state Of affairs produced By
the laxity existing In Chicago2
If there was proper regard for the
enforcement Of the law in this coun-
try--the number of homicides thai
occur would be greatly reduced. Ii

ter, the courts must do their part
Also. concerning the prevalence ..
homicide-the American people should

Took His Advice.

Answers Once upon time very
cool man called on his physician and
asked him for medical advice
Take a tonic and dismiss from your
mind all that tends to worry YOU"
said the physician.
Several months afterward the patti

asking him to remit three guineas, and
answered 1t thus:
Dear Doctor have taken tonic
and your advice Your bin tends to
worry me, so dismiss 1T from my
mind

Willow City Eagle: The more rab-
i'd insurgent newspapers Of the state
are up a stump at the present time
and don't know which way to jump.
When Burdick declined TO loan HIM
self to the efforts of the democrats
and insurgent leaders to further dis
rupt the republican party they were
between the devil and the deep sea
and climbed the stump for safety.
Burdick was their only hope-now
they have to endorse either Miller or
Aaker, both of whom betrayed their
party on the eve of election, or induce
new man to enter the race for gov
ernor against L. B. Hanna. To en-
dorse either Millew or Aal5er would be
to admit that they approve Of treach-
cry and the throwing over of party
and principles for private and per-
sonal gain, which they seemingly are
not ready yet to do. On the other
hand the candidacy Of Hanna has been
enthusiastically endorsed by two
thirds Of the newspapers of the state
as we'll as the majority Of the voters
of the state and the attempt Of the in
surgent radicale to brand Hanna as a
stalwart or In other words, as a Nc
Kenzie candidate. Is cheap attempt
to ghost him into their own camp and
power.
Ross News Hon. L. B. Hanna has
announced that he has decided to be-
come candidate for governor and
this, no doubt, is pleasing news to the
republicans Of North Dakota.
His ability, integrity and experience
especially equip him for the posi-
ton to which he aspires. Mr.. Han
mas appeal for support is based upon
his public business and private life.
He is willing to stand by his record
on both.
Mr.. Hanna is known as the farmers
friend throughout this state. and this
was especially noticeable when the Can
adian reciprocity bill came UP before

when Mr.. Hanna--well realizing that

against free Canadian grain-stood
