And Johnny Jones went to school that morning without his shadow. He
was late just the same, and when the teacher stood him up In the corner he
felt awfuny lonesome, with NJ shadow to keep him company.
When he sat down he looked so gum that the teacher noticed that all

Then the teacher sent Johnny Jones home with a note, saying that she

CONVICT ROAD WORKERS.

North Carolina led all states in the
movement to construct public high
ways with convict laborers. Many
other states have adopted the idea
and it a proven a success every
where.
Georgia has built 4.s44 miles Of
reads with convict labor in the last
i've years. During that time about
4s5Oo convicts have been employed on
the work.
why shouldn't every state employ
its short-term convicts in this work?
why should not North Dakota work
its convicts on the roads from April
tIIl october? 1t would probably not
be safe to work the long term pris-
onsrs outside-but all men sentenced
to serve under FIVE years might be
given outdoor Jobs in the summer and
kept on Irvine work in the winter.

WHITE A TRAFFIC.

North Dakota seems to be threat
ened with a white slave traffic scan
dal-as a result of the efforts Of the
procurers and %panderers in the Cana
dian northwest and in the northwest
ern part of this state. Minot appears
to have been a recruiting point and
the place where Canadian girls were
first brought. The matter should be
given a thorough investigation.
In practically every state the fed
eral government has prosecuted of
tenders and sen them to prison. The
crime of selling women into a life of
shame is not a slight one in the eyes
Of Uncle Sam. He p~rosecutes with
out fear or favor. He has struck ter
ror to the hearts of the men and wo-
men who formerly carried on this
shameless traffic.
Cities n states should exercise the
same care hat the federal govern
ment does in handling the wretches
who are dealing in women. Where the
victims are taken from one state to
another, the federal government has
jurisdiction.
Within the state the prosecution is
wholly within the hands of municipal,
county and state officials. They should
shoulder the responsibility with the
same zeal that federal officers have
and imprison every person who stoops
to this damnable traffic.

Press Comment

Minot Optic: There is no use cry
ing over spilled milk, but one cannot
help noting that had North Dakota a
republican governor today, the Minot
normal school buildings would now be
going UP and there never would have
been a normal school contest in the
magic city. No man ever worked harder
or more faithfully for the Minot nor
NAL than c. A. Johnson. twice nomin-
ated by the republicans for governor Of
North Dakota, and the sentiment
among those republicans who did not
support Mr.. Johnson is becoming very
strong that had Mfnot rallied to his
support as it should have done. there
never would have been q normal
school tangle.
Gov. John Burke's connection with
the Minot normal has merely been to
compIicate the situation. In the t1rst
place he appointed from Minot q man,
whom the governors friends are now
charging with sacrificing the inter-
ests of the city and Of the state Ia
order that the school might be located
across the road from his I60-acre
farm. Whether this charge Is true
Or not. it is not necessary for The
| Optic to state, but the fact remains
that Governor Burke,s close advisors
in Minot have made this charge against
Mr.. jacobson and it was because they
pressed this charge so persistently
that Governor Burke sent a ripsnort-
ing letter to the state normal board
and in a very diplomatic, but never
theless forcefuI manner. gave the board

SENSIBLE VIEW.

Some of the railroads are planning
to protect their cash paying passen-
gers in the matter of lower berths
for sleeping cars. For years 1t has
been the custom that ~functionaries
and others riding on passes always
secured the choice sleeping car
berths-and the cash paying travellers
had to take uppers-or sit up.
The Rock Island is taking the ini-
tiative in this matter and in the future
will provide that cash fares get the
first whack at the berth reservations
and passholders take what's left.
Other railroads are planning similar
action. The commercial travellers
and others who pay their way are re-
joicing over the promised improve
ments in service.

TUESDAY, p r 10, 1912.
Il REGISTRATION.

Why are the insurgent leaders sc
alarmed over the decision of the su-
prene upholding the validity Of
the law requiring voters to declare
their political Affiliations? Why are
they so disappointed because their
nice little plan-framed up through
an opinion from the attorney gen.
erals ofice-fcu down?
The law requires that voters must
declare whether they r republican
or d~ernocratic-in order to participate
in the coming primaries. There are
only republican and democratic tick
cts to be voted for in June-and peo-
pie who are affiliated with other po-
litical organizations have no right to
participate.
That much seems to be fair. If
the socialists, the Independents or
other minority voters wish to partici-
pate in the primary election-and
don't want to be branded as either
republican or democratic-they can
organize parties Of their own-so they
can vote at the next primaries. They
certainly have no right to try to butt
into either the republican or demo-
cratic tea party.
The Forum does not see that the
%insurgent leaders have any justifiable
protest against the decision of the
supreme court If they are republi-
~cans-they should be satisfied that
only republican voters participate in
republican primaries. They should
not desire that subterfuge be resorted
to or fraud INDUCED in-that people
who are not republicans may help to
dictate the republican ticket.
An insurgent demand is made that
the attorney general shall seek a re-
hearing. Is the Office of the attor-
ney general for n faction of one
party-or is it supposed to be for the
whole people Of the entire state?
The law requiring the voters to ex-
press their polite preference was
introduced by an insurgent-passed
by an insurgent legislature-and the
howl now being put up by the in
surgers seems a trife out of place.

40 a HOBBIES

A wise old professor once remarked
to the writer: IF you haven't a
hobby, get one" 1t was good advice.
The man without a hobby is to be
commiserated. A habby-no matter
how trival-helps to keep the mind of
the daily grind. 1t affords a mental
and physical relaxation. 1t prevents
one thinking of the eternal dollar. II
is a relief to the householder and he
forgets his taxes-while Modifying.
The wage Garner with a healthy
hobby has less time to absorb social
istic theories-and to imagine he is
occupying the position of a galley
slave. The man of wealth can forget
his worries about possible loss of for
tune and bankruptcy-if he strenuous
ly pursues a hobby.
A healthy hobby is a humanizer
1t corrects distorted visions. 1t gives
proper perspectives and proportions
Many a man has little else than a
hobby to represent a sane purpose in
life.
It's all right to make fun of the
man with a hobby. Nine out of ten
men will enjoy it-and most of them
viii be able to give plenty of good
reasons for their particular kind Of
hobbies.
Just at this season of the year the
outdoor lobbyists are having an in
ming. The pleasant things about hob.
bies are the preparation and anticipa-
tion.
The gardeners. the anglers, the
amateur florists, the golfers, the ten
mis- players, the hikers-they are all
having a lot of fun now.
# you haven't a hobby-get n thai
some one else has-and use 1t.

Why did Governor Burke appoint
Mr.. Jacobson q member of the Minot
normal board? Mr.. jacobson is sup
posed to be a republican and it has
not been Governor Burke's policy to
hand the plums to the republicans.
Mr.. jacobson was given this appoint
ment as a reward for fighting G.. Al.
johnson, a fellow townsman, the man
who probably did more than any other
one man to secure the normal school,
and for doing his best to prevent
Johnson from becoming governor Of
North Dakota. Governor Burke un-
doubtedly figured that the royal sery-
ice that republican jacobson did to
elect democratic John Burke should
be substantially remembered. and the
state normal board plum wal handed
to jacobson.
The Minot norman was used to
pay John Burke's political debts.
and the result is the present mixup.
Mr.. jacobson. himself, is authority for
the statement that Governor Burke is
the man behind the gun who has
caused the trouble in Minot. Mr..
Jacobson, however. figures this out on
somewhat different lines. maintaining
that the governor had no business to
Interfere in the selection Of the site.
The chances are a hundred to one
that all of this trouble would have
been averted. had g. A. johnson been
elected governor of North Dakota. IN
that event the Minot normal would
have had a friend in the state capitol
who would have seen: First, that the
right kind Of a board was appointed;
and second, that when the board once
acted, it stood pat until the proyerbial
lake froza over.
