co-EDUcATIoN IN THE EAST.

The fact that Wesleyan academy
one of the prominent CO. educational
institutions Of Massachusetts-has an
nounced its intention of hereafter de-
voting itself solely to the education
of males-has aroused much discus
sion of this topic in the newspapers
and educational circles. The prevailing
opinion seems to be that the modern
tendency is against Co educational in
stitutions of higher learning at least.
The Boston Transcript thus gives ex-
preston to that view:
The separation of the sexes i'm the
public schools, as we'll as the private
secondary institutions, will doubtless
In the fullness Of time be complete in
this state. wesleyan academy is not
one in which we should have expected
ii so soon, because large alumni con-
stituency desire for their daughters
as well as their sons the opportunities
and the associations which they have
enjoyed. But sentiment must give way
before the pressure if not the logic
Of events. The girls of the state will
not suffer for a lack of adequate edu-
cational advantages. In Connecticut
the action of the university in ter
minating the co-educational relation
has given the project to establish a
woman's college in that state a strong
impulse, and the 100000 that has been
raised in New London for that purpose
makes the establishment of Thames
college in that city more than a prob
ability.

of U. S. soldiers to make sure we
took no arms to the insurrectos.
Mr.. and Mrs A. j. Sayre of Cal
gary were fellow guests in the Lynch
auto. They spent their winter vaca-
ton in California. With two such
strong and generous friends of Wesley
college, as Mr.. Lynch and Mr.. Sayre
together for several days, it would be
la sin of omission if the president
did not find opportunity for joint con-
ference upon places for more buildings
and larger endowments. We are glad to
say that the future of Wesley college
is in prospect brighter as a result. /.
"A new campaign is already well
advanced and California is becoming
a regular winter home of great throngs
from the states to the northwest and
from Canada. Many settle there, no.
tally people of middle age and older,
l@ho are in process Of retaining. Cities
are growing rapidly and are notable
for hotels and cafeterias. Orange
groves are attractive and there is
something enticing in the proposition
of growing fruit and flowers, but great
diligence is required and all is not
profit as a regular occupation for a
living with hope of accommodating a
comfortable competence. California
fruit growing is not to be preferred
to North Dakota farming. North Da-
kota is still the young mans oppor-
tunity."

AT Los Angeles a visit was enjoyed
with Rev. Geo. A. Henry and wife,
formerly of the Roberts Street Metho-
dist church of Fargo. Mr.. Henry is
pastor of Adams Street Methodist
church of Los Angeles. 1t is rated as
one Of the good appointments in the
city, in n class with two or three others
that rank second to First church.
Adams Street church includes several
of the leading Methodist laymen of
Los Angeles, among them being Hon.
A. J. wallace. lieutenant governor of
California and a former North Da-
kotan. Mr.. and Mrs. Henry are well
and enthusiastic as ever. They have
with them Mr. Henrys father and
Mrs. Henry's mother and sister. Mr..
Henry is chairman of tie programme
committee of the Church Federation
club. an organization of ministers and
laymen of all denominations. The
club has spacious quarters and serves
daily lunch. On Wednesdays the club
listens to an after lunch address.

The TOBACCO HABIT.

1t is just about 800 years since the
civilized world woke up to the fact
that such a plant as tobacco existed
and to a recognition of it's adapta-
tion to the needs of a nerve-racled
community. In the good old days,
when there was nothing to create any
decentralization the nerves were
never Jared, if there were any nerves,
which nobody knew or suspected-no-
body wanted or needed either to-
bacco or tea or coffee.
Those were the brave, slumberous
days when there was no America
known to civilization--or any Mexican
frontier to be guarded from trouble
by khaki-clad American soldiers. The
worthy great-grandfathers titled the
soil in peace and satisfied the demands
of little Mary with beef and cabbage
and beans-not having even attained
to the civilization of the potato.
The great trouble hunter, Christie
the west. and the troubles of the world
began. The whole world was stirred
with fever of unrest and the nerves
of the race began to assert themselves.
But with the unrest and nervousness
there also came the antidotes. The
people filled themselves UP with no.
tatoes, and soon learned the beneh-
cence of tea and coffee. Then came
Walter Raleigh and showed how to
smoke. 1t was evidently surreptiti-
Gus game at first-as it is in the boy
hood of the individuals. King James
and the sultans Of Turkey strove to
put it down, but their efforts were in
vain. It filled newly but a
very felt want-and its influence kept
on extending
There are people yet who regard to-
bacco as an offense. In spite OF their
zeal the dominion Of Ralph Erskine's
Indian weed" keeps on extending.
The following figures are from The
London Economist, as compiled in the
government consular reports:
The total production OF tobacco for
the year 1909 was S44562,000 kiIos

'UP TO HARG TO
PROVE HIS WORTH
NORTH DAkoTAN ATTORNEY
FOR cHocTAWs, MUST SHOW
CAUSE WHY He SHOULD NOT
BE FIRED" SAYS DISPATCH
FROM WASHINGTON.
A speciaI to ne s.. PauI lPioneel

A special to The ST. Paul Pioneer
Press from washington says:
Ormsby McHarg, the $4,000 a year
special attorney of the Choctaw nation
has been asked by President Taft to
show cause why he should not give
up this lucrative position. If Mr. Me-
Harg can convince the president that
he is doing $4,000 worth of work for
the Choctaws, he may be allowed to
stay on the job otherwise, he must
step out.
This is an echo of the Gore investi-
cation. Mr.. McTIarg is a member Of
well known New York law firm
Prior to his employment as special
counsel for the Choctaws, he had been
assistant secretary Of commerce and
labor. The committee, which conduct
ed the Investigation Of Senator Cores
charges in connection with Indian con-
tracts, In referring to Mr. McHarg's
contract, said:
I'm the opinion OF this committee this
contract is not justified on business
principles, and the fact that the com
pensation is paid from funds of q
trust nature under control of the
United States as trustee, makes it i'm
portant that the contract should be
just and equitable than it would be
ii the government. were employing ar
attorney on its own behalf to be paid
from public funds
When it is considered that McHars
receives a salary equal to that of tht
attorney general of the United tSates
and almost equal to that of the CHIEF
justice Of the United States, the ex-
.egsive compensation paid for his co.
operation and advice in the Choctav
affairs is manifest. One firm of at.
torneys is sufficient to look after the
litigation and other matters of in.

ion of the committee hat the McFIare
contract can be terminated without
prejudice to the interests Of the Chloe.

1t was this reference to the McHars
contract by the investigation commit.
tee that brought it to the attention o.
former Secretary Ballinger and Presi
dent Taft, both of whom approved tn,
contract. McHarg has drafted pro
posed legislation which, he believes
would wind up affairs of the Choctaw,
and dispose of their properties to gooC
advantage.

DECISION OF The
SUPREME COURT

I In the supreme court, state of North
Dakota, October 1910 term; the state
of North Dakota, ex rel Andrew Miller,
attorney general of the state of North
Dakota, plaintiff, VS.. Alexander Miller,
Fritz Giffey, Ed Hanlon, M. f. Nine
han, ]. ]. Bodies and +. E. Wright and
Herbert F. O'Hare, defendants.
l. The supreme court, in the exer-
else of its original jurisdiction, WILL
under the facts alleged in the petition
and on the application of the attorney
general in the name of the state, issue
its prerogative writ to enjoin an alleg-
ed new county and those assuming to
act as it's officers, from exercising jur-
isdiction over the territory embraced
within such new county until the dis
trict court in which is pending pro-
ceeding to determine the validity of the
election at which the proposition was
submitted for the organization of such
county, has finally adjudicated such
question.
2. The issue as to the validity Of
such election having been duly sub
mitted to the courts for adjudication,
it is legal fraud upon the people who
are interested in defeating the organi-
zation of such proposed new county,
and who are consequently the real
parties in interest, for the county audi
tor a mere nominal party, to end such
litigation in effect by the issuance of
his certificate to the secretary of state
las provided by section 1880 r. G., his
right to issue such certificate being
dependent upon the validity of such
election.
8. Certain language In the opinion

wherein il was held that a four weeks
publication of submission of a counts.
division proposition is essential, was
