ANOTHER BLOW AT PROFANITY.

Through the remarkable parades
held by the Catholic Holy Name so
cieties in Washington and Pittsburg a
protest against taking the name of the
Deity in vain was offered that has ex-
tended all over the world.
Fifty thousand men marching as a
protest against profanity could not
fail to have its influence Newspapers
the length and breadth 90 the land
have commented on the anti-swearing
crusade-and commended it in un.
measured terms.
But organized opposition to profan-
ity has now shown itself in another
form. At a Masonic dinner--held in
Cedar Rapids. Ia. on st. Johns day
300 members of tho order pledged
themselves at midnigh. never to utter
another profane word.
The vow was taken a: the dedicatory
services of new Consistory temple
and at the suggestion of Grand Master
Frederick Craig Of Des Moines.
This step might be followed with
profit by all the secret organizations
in America. Almost without excep-
tion their tenets are based on belief in
a Supreme Being-and there is every
reason why they should seek to save
member from blasphemy.

INSURGENTS in CONTROL.

Both branches of the legislature are
controlled by the insurgents. They
, have everything from the presiding Of
6cers to the janitors. In addition they
have their dear friend, the democratic
governor.
With this combination there should
he no excuse for failure of the legis-
Iature to enact reform measures-and
also for placing many of their pet
measures on tn. statute books. The
promises they have made in the past
can now be filled.
Should there be any failure at the
present session to fulfill promises or
to. enact needed legislation the stall
warts can in no way be blamed. The
insurgers have a safe working major
ity in the upper branch and a large
one in the house.
The Forum is glad that both branch
es are under the same factional con-
troll. 1t believes it will mean a re-
turn to straight republicanism in the
future and the factional strife of the
past will be to large extent elimin-
ated.
The insurgents are on trial.
The Forum is confident the stalwarts
will cooperate in every way possible
to secure needed legi7lation-and the
carrying out of the pledges made in the
state platform. The stalwart members
won't stand off in corner and pout.

WORK FOR GOOD ROADS.

North Dakota needs better roads.
Better methods of construction are inn
perative.
Men, women and children Of all po-
litical beliefs need them.
Republicans--stalwart and insurgent
democrats. socialists alike have a
horror of impossible roads.
Good roads agitation rises above
party or fractional strife--and the
movement should have the united
support of every man and woman in
North Dakota.
Talk UP the good roads movement
Be a builder.
Every flickertail who remains luke
warm on the question of road improve
ment is a weight about the neck of
progress.
When 1t becomes easy for a farmer
to haul his grain, meats, produce, eggs,
butter, chickens and cream to some
convenient center--it means bigger
prices for him. It means saving in
time and in wear and tear on horses
and vehicles.
Good roads are the foundation on
which extensive agricultural condi-
tions develop. They are necessary to
the happiness of the rural home-to
the growth and Improvement of the
Scholastic church--and society.
North Dakota can have good roads
If you will boost and write your rep
resentatives in the legislature.

1910 BUSY YEAR
FOR REGISTER
CORPS OF WORKERS AT THE or
FIcE OF THE REGISTER or
DEEDS HAS A BANNER YEAR
IN fs1o-oFFlcE CARRIED A
SURPLUS FOR THE COUNTY.

The staff of workers in the office of
the register Of deeds of Cass county
have bad a busy year during 1910.
The record Of the year is one of the
best that has been turned out from
this Office for long time and the
corps of men who care for the legal
fling Of papers in Cass county are
well pleased with their work.
During the year there has been 5,315
Instruments Of real estate transfers
placed with the office. There has been
a.7s6 chattel mortgages that have been
filed and over 1000 chattel mortgages
have been released. Besides this large
amount of work cared for. the staff has
placed on the books of the county
about 200 other miscellaneous instru-
raents.
The debit and credit sides for the
books of the register of deeds are most
favorable for the county. There has
been taken in at the Office $7,659.20
against $7,197.45 in 1909 and $6,44T.35
in 1908. The total expenses of the
Office amount to $500 year and
this leaves a surplus Of $2,l0920 which
can be turned into the Golfers of the
county from the Office Of the register
of deeds.
The chief pride of the staff in the
office of the register of deeds lies in
the fact that with the ending Of the
year. they have transacted SO great a
volume Of business and managed to-
have it all posted to date, at the clos
ing OF the annual period. All this has
been done without the aid of extra
help, which is indeed remarkable.
when one stops to consider the number
of county officials that have to have
extra help at different times during the
year to keep their books posted to
date.

Travellers Tales

"Pll never forget said the old time
editor last evening, as he pulled on
a Plttsburg stogie that was something
less than a yard long, "of the only
time in my long career as a news
paper man, that / ever got a licking
for putting an item in the paper"
Suppose you have been threatened
many times, though?" remarked Jack
Nicholson, as he stretched himself
across the counter
Yes. many a time, but / never had
it done excepting on this one occa-
sion. / was running a weekly news
paper in a country town and 1t was
weakly indeed. Had big lot of sub
scribers among the religious people
and wanted to keep them all. One
day an awfUl church scandal arose.
II appears that Widow Hamilton had
bought what she thought was a roll of
butter from Deacon Wallace who lived
just outside of town. According to
the widow when she got home and
cut the rool she found the interior was
nothing more or less than tallow. VIII,
good butter sort of wrapped or spread
about it. Well. she brought the mat
ter to the attertion of the session of
the church and there was war from
the beginning. The church was di.
vided and the whole town in an up-
roar. and so far as / know to this
day some families are not vet on
speaking terms. A committee of the
church waited on me and presented
me with list of forty seven names
with the understanding they should
be dropped from my subscription list
ii there was so much as word or
hint at the trouble Deacon wallace
was an influential man and the widow
too, had her friends, and as / didn't
want to lose the subscribers. / fold
them not a word would appear. and I
tried to keep my word.
Il had correspondent out near
where the Wallaces lived and two
weeks afterwards the following appar-
emily harmless item was among his
contributions: "A new hand has ar
rived at the tallow factory
Il read it all right and saw no
harm in 1t. In fact, as I didn't know
anything about tallow factory
thought it was all right. The next
day the deacon came into the office
and told me he was going 10 lick me.
and he did, good and proper. After
it was over asked him what was the
matter and he pointed to the item
and just was able to say 'well?' and
after he had poked me two or three
times more he told me his wife had
presented him with new SON.
"The deacon had been accused Of
selling the 'tallowed butter"

mo BACKACHE OR
KIDNEY MISERY
A FEW DOSES REGULATE ATouR
KIDNEYS AND END URINARY
TROUBLE.

The real treachery and danger In
kidney trouble is because the first
symptoms are always seen In other
parts Of the body before anything
wrong is noticed with the kidneys
themselves.
The moment you suspect any kid
ney, bladder or urinary disorder or
feel a dun, constant Backaohe or the
urine is thick, cloudy or offensive or
full of sediment, irregular OF passage,
or attended by q scalding sensation,
begin taking Pape's Diuretic as di-
rected, with the knowledge that there
is no other medicine, at any price,
made anywhere else In the world,
which is so harmless or will effect so
thorough and prompt a cure.
Put an end to kidney trouble while
1t is only trouble--before IT develops
into DrOpsy, Gravel, Diabetes or
Bright's Disease.
Pape's Diuretic acts directly upon
the Kidneys, bladder and urinary sys-
TEN: cleanses, heals and regulates
these organs, ducts and glands and
completes the cure within few days.
Pains in the back, sides or Ioins,
rheumatic twinges, facilitating head
ache, nervousness, dizziness, bilious
stomach, prostate trouble, slsepless-
ness, infiamed or puffy eyelids,t weak
ness. worn-out feeling and many
other symptoms caused by cIegged,
inactive kidneys promptly vanish.
Frequent, painful and uncomfortable
urination due to weak or Irritable
bladder is overcome. =,

SOUTHERN RURAL SCHOOLS,
Georgia and Alabama Girls Are In
structed in Home Duties.


Southern Workman: John G. Wright,
instructor in English at Tuskegee,
mentions a model rural school in Ma
con county, Alabama, where the teach
er has succeeded in raising money to
build a comfortable sehoolhouse, with
a three-room cottage annex where she
lives and teaches the girls housekeep-
ing by showing them how she keeps
her bedroom, dining room and kitchen,
and instTucting them in the proper
care and management of such home.
At intervals she invites parents to
dine with her, to show them how
pleasant and easily possible clean

variety of food, with flowers to make
the table attractive, is to any one

wholesome food, we'll kept home; the
uplifting influence of flowers, shrubs
and trees; the efficacy of whitewash

tai social facts. and the rura! school
must drive them home. Until it can
do this--the rural school will not, In
the largest sense, be fulfilling its mis-
sion in the community where it is To-
Gated
Another school where young colonial
girls are carefully taught housekeeping
Is in Columbus, Ga. When at the be-
ginning of the fifth grade every girl in

dcring and housekeeping, just as every
boy begins courses in carpentry and
bIacksmithing, the teachers having had
their training at Hampton and Tuske-
gee. Commenting on the schools the
slperintendent OF Columbus school
saws the highest regard has been for
the child's place in the community life
after leaving the public schools. And
a very definite and specific regard has
been had for the negro childs place in
the community life. Those who have
been able to go to the higher schools
have been encouraged to go, but the
first thought has been FOR the large
majority-the 80 or 95 per cent-who
could not go to college. 1t is due the
community educating them that these,
going at once into the community,
should go with ability to serve at once
in some effective and helpful way in
stead of being a further burden. 1t is
also due these less fortunate ones for
whom the community is responsible,
that they should be trained to take the
largest possible place; to serve most
effectively: to have the largest earning
power: and get the most out Of life,
as well as to give the most to the COM
munity life. A trained worker is hap
pier and worth far more to society
than is the learned loafer. The for
mer is a positive factor; the latter,
negative.

COMMERCIAL CLUB HELPED.

In contrast to the situation in Fargo
The Grand Forks Herald has an edi-
torial on the advantages of the as
sistance rendered by the commercial
club in the federal census. 1t says. in
part:
The Fargo papers are mourning over
the unsatisfactory figures pertaining
to the population Of their city. and are
expressing regret that the commercial
club Of the city did not take a more
active part In looking after the enurn-
GRAFTON so as to insure full count.
we are not familiar with the work
done BY the Fargo club. but it is prop
err at this time to point out that the
Grand Forks Commercial club did take
an active interest In this matter and
did aid the enumerators in every way
possible in guiding them to a knowl-

edge of people who had been over
looked For this the club is entitled
to due credit, and II will be well to
bear in mind that whatever adver-
Using Is given the city during the next
ten years on account of the splendid
growth shown is due in no small meas
ure to the activity of the club in seeing
that as few as possible of the actual
residents Of the city were overlooked.
