Cooperstown Courier: There is con-
siderable agitation in the state legis-
lature about dividing the judicial dis
tricts of the state. Several bills have
been introduced to divide the fifth iu-
dicial district of which Griggs is a part.
The bills introduced are mainly in the
interest of jamestown and Valley CITY.
each city wanting the chambers To-
Gated in that particular place. Now
everyone knows that there is not
enough business in the fifth district
II divided to furnish work for two
judges and such move would be only
to provide a soft place for a couple
OF attorneys and locate the chambers
IN these two towns. In our opinion
the fifth district is not too large for
one judge and if division is to he
made there should be enough territory
taken off some other district to make
the work about equal Four of these
little counties like Griggs would not
Keep judge busy one month in the
year and we can see no reason why the
taxpayers of the state should make
a soft place for somebody unless there
is work necessary. If the judicial dis
tricts are to be rearranged do II so that
no judge will be overworked or soft
snaps made to crafty some towns am
oltion. The state has enough expenses
TO the present time without throwing
money away for fun or ambition.

WoMAN's SUFFRAGE.

The apparent apathy Of the women
Of North Dakota over the bill to
grant them equal suffrage has been
one Of the surprises of the Iegisla-
tive session at Bismarck. When the
bill was first introduced it was con-
hdently expected the ladies would
quickly have a delegation OF lobby
lists there to work for it's
passage. So far there has been no
rush Of the fairer sex to the capital
city.
One of the explanations of the in
activity of the women is that many
Of them take the dignified position
they are entitled to the right OF fran
chise-simply as a matter of justice.
They feel that the members Of the
legislature should be sufficiently broad
and fair-minded to initiate the move
ment to this end without any assist
ance, organized movement, cajolery,
or other incentive. When the first
white people landed in this country
the women had the same franchise
rights at the preliminary political and
other meetings as the men. Later
their votes were taken from them
and now the women insist the innate
gallantry of the men should be suf-
ficient to see suffrage restored in the
fullest and the broadcast sense.
Women who come to North Dakota
from foreign countries are astonished
that-in the land of the free and the
home Of the brave-and in the coun-
try in which so much homage is paid
the fairer sex-ladies have less suf-
frage rights here than from where
they came.
Almost every government in Eu-
rope gives women a more liberal
franchise than North Dakota-in
which it is limited to school affairs.
Perhaps another reason for the lack
of effort on the part of the women
of North Dakota in behalf of this suf-
frage movement is the fact they lack
organization. Some counties have been
active but there appears to be no
statewide movement. The latter re-
quires more time. Some clubs have
been busy-but the lack of united eff
fort on the part of the women is no
doubt the chief reason for their APP
parent apathy
During the legislative adjournment
e the ladies will have time for some
formal and effective work if they
wish.

BEAUTIFUL WORDS.

A New York society offered a prize
for list of the twenty-five most
beautiful words in the English lam
guage. The words were to be judged
both by their beauty of sound and
by their beauty of meaning.
Sixty-five lists were submitted, but
the prize winning list contained only
twenty-one words-which were ac-
cepted as having met the REQUIRE
ments.
They were melody splendor, adora-
tion, eloquence, virtue, innocence,
n1odesty, faith, joy, honor. radiance,
nobility, sympathy, heaven, love. di-
vine, hope, harmony, happiness. purity
and liberty.
Grace and justice were rejected be-
cause of the harshness of "g'' in the
former and of 'j' in the latter. Truth
was rejected because Of its metallic
sound. s
While the selection Of the list is an
affair of no great moment-and while
It can have no far-reaching effect
1t lis nevertheless very interesting to
contemplate. 1t is in many respects
similar to list of the 100 best books
or greatest men. When once the selec-
ton is made and announced-that's
all there is to it.
The judges in this word beauty
contest were. no doubt more or less
arbitral in their decision-rendering
1T in accordance with their own taste
and bias-as is usual with judges in
ali beauty contests. But they did as
well. perhaps, as any other committee
OF Judges could have done.
Beauty of sound and beauty Of
meaning constituted the test. OF the
words that met it, it is interesting to
note that two describe pleasures OF
the eye-and three pleasures OF the
ear--while by far the greater num-
Der denote the highest human quail
fications or states of being humans
long for most
The greater part of the prize words
describe the goals OF human endeayor
the perfection toward which human
ity is striving.
Humanity in its upward climb has
ever cherished not what 1t is, but
what it would be--and. therefore
words that describe its ultimate long
lngs must necessarily excel In beauty
of meaning
Should ii be considered very strange
