SYSTEM ALL WRONG

Fargo Courier-News: The Colorado
W. C. T. U. is up in arms over the is
suance of government liquor tax re-
ceipts to persons in that part of the
state where the sale of liquor is ia
booed, and wants to start a national
crusade against this practice. The
granting of such receipts govern
ment liquor licenses, they are gener-
ally called-has been one of the great.
est offenses against the prohibition
cause in North Dakota, in all prohibi.
ton states, in fact, but congress has
refused to stop the proceeding. The
government receives some revenue
willing-with the distilleries and brew.
cries saying nay-to part with even
the comparatively small collections
from prohibition territory, and even
goes 80 far as to condone serious
breeches Of the revenue laws by the
blind piggers 60 long as the fines as.
sessed and the tax are paid. The sys.
tenn is all wrong.

judgment upon a highly technical and
involved industry with an intent that

it is not to be wondered that the peo-

To the average citizen Of Devils

cannot be settled Justly to the pro-
Queer and consumer by the hasty ac-

Devils Lake wants to see, is thor
ough investigation, conference with
the improvement company along the

and then settlement of the question
which will be satisfactory and suita-

way for the mayor to recover the con-
fidence of the people of lle city as to
his motives in the question and to con-
vince them that he is DESTROYS of act

of venting personal spite and revenge,
is for him to show a disposition to

A SPLENDID CANDIDATE,

Watertown Is. d. Public Opinion:
Hon Andrew Miller, the present at
torney general of North Dakota, has
announced his candidacy for governor
of that state. South Dakota's big sis
ter state could do no better than to
promote Mr.. Miller to the executive
chair, position of which he is well
worthy and which he would grace with
great credit to the state.
Mr.. Miller has made a brilliant rec
ord as attorney general. He has been
terror to the law breaking element,
and has made warm place for him
self in the hearts of the honest people
of North Dakota. This bond of SYM
pathy and approval extends to all re-
gardless of party.
The attorney general is real pro-
gressive republican. He is not radical,
but is fearless, outspoken, ready at all
times to define his position on public
questions. Always he may be found
standlng up straight and ready to be
counted.
Andrew Miller as governor would be
credit to North Dakota Honest and
able, the lustre of the state would
shine clear under his administration.
The state would take a place by the
side of Wisconsin, Iowa, and other hon
estly progressive states. Miller would
be real doer of good as have been
LaFollette and Cummins as governors
OF their respective states.
The real danger in the progressive
middle west at this time arises in the
choosing between the demagogue
claiming to be progressive and the
actual true blue, 18-carat candidate.
Andrew Miller is of the true blue
kind"

AN OFFICIAL PAPER.

Since May first in violation of the ex-
press mandates OF the city ordinances
the administration has neglected to
appoint a newspaper of the city as an
Official paper. Two results have come
from this negligence One has been
to pat the city in position where city
council legislation involving tens of
thousands of dollars may at any time
be attacked on the grounds of the il
legality Of the publication of the no.
tees. The other result has been to
place the paper publishing such no.
uces in the position where it can new
er know when some faction of the
council will take it upon themselves to
change the rate of pay for such notices
and bother the poor newspaper man
unreasonably to get his compensation.
The poor newspaper" man can of
course stand for the situation but the
affairs of the city are placed in an in
tolerable position. 1t may be that no
tees published since last April are va
lid but the question is always a de-
batable one and may at any time give
rise to trouble-for which the taxpay-
ers will have to pay There is only
one thing to do and that is to settle the
matter legally at once The people of
the city have the right to expect May
Or McClory to attend to this detail

TRUTH THE ESSENTIAL OF
SCHOLARSHIP.

In the beginning of the school year,
it may not be out of place to say few
words on one OF the essentials of
scholarship. The principal one is. in
the opinion OF the writer, truth. If
children are trained to be square with
themselves and others, and such teach
ing grows into habit, one of the best
things in life and an essential element
in scholarship is secured. To acquire
knowledge and to train the mind to in
vesugate require straight thinking.
which is done more successfully BY a
straight mind, and straight heart
If children at home are accustomed to
hear one theory advanced one day and
the opposite the next day to suit the
changing interests OF the parents, or
if they are habituated to regulate pref
erences as changes in fashion, and
side with this or that social element
because of the shifting changes in To-
cal sentiment and self interest, they
Will acquire the weakness of drifting
from truth, and along with that the
habit of concealment and dissimula-
ton Then the character is in danger
OF being warped. When Plate asked
What is truth?" the Savior did not
answer. An answer is not necessary.
Everyone knows it Plate knew it at
the time but his political interest made
him a coward. Youth is the time to
build up the kind of courage that
stands US in emergency. The truthful
pupil stands the best chance, makes
the best student and the happiest man
or woman. Among the causes for so
many pupils dropping out or failing
to pass, the want of truth may be in
cluded, and the defect may easily be
traced home. Sometimes the teacher
may be able to arouse the character
and save it from the evil influences of
the child's policy parents, but such is
the exception; the parent must coop
crate. The best way to do that is to
live and act truthful and children will
follow the example

SUFFRAGE IN PERSIA.

ut is interesting to hear that the
woman suffrage question injected it.
self into the proceedings of the Per
sian parliament" writes Editor Davis
of the Grand Forks Times. Also that
the argument on that issue, in the
summary form in which they reach us,
bear a family resemblance to those
heard in this country, writ very large,
it may be, by the Mahometan precon-
ceptions Of the positions of women.
The mejiss, or parliament, was dis
cussing an election bill and came to
clause enacting that no woman should
vote, which was expected to pass with
out dissent. But the deputy for Ham
adam, Hadji Vakil ell Kovy, evidently
an ultra radical, made an extended
speech declaring that women have
souls and rights and therefore should
have votes. He called upon the clergy
to support that view and especially on
the merjtahid, Or head of the Persian
religion, to uphold that right.
But the representatives of the estab-
llshed religion in his answering speech
repudiated that view Never in the
course of life of misfortune had his
ears heard such an impious assertion"
He declared emphatically that women
have neither souls nor rights, that such
a doctrine means the downfall of Is
lam, and that he was horror-struck to
hear it spoken in parliament. Under
this authority Of the religious aspect
the clause shutting women out was
passed and the presiding officer re-
quested the reporters to make no men,
ton Of the Hadjis speech in the offci-
al journal. Orthodox Mahometanism is
yet wondering whether the Hadji's re-
marks were blasphemoum joke or
simply fit Of lunacy.
It is seen that this debate with some
embellishments due to the Persian
point Of view is practically the same as
the arguments heard everywhere else.
The supporters of woman suffrage
claim it as right, the opponents repel
it as subversion of the established
order, The fact, too much ignored, is
that suffrage is not right but poll
tical duty. On the other hand, to
give it to women is not so much a sub
version as to give 1t to the common
people was the opinion, say, of shak,.
espeare's time. The scole criterion is
whether the women as mass would
perform the duty with equal or greater
fidelity and intelligence than men.
