SAYS AMUSEMENT
RULE IS ABSURD
BISHOP SHEPHERD DOES NOT
APPROVE OF THE METHODIST
EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE
RULING.

Chicago, June 6.-That the rule
against freedom Of conscience in the
matter of amusements in the Metho-
dist Episcopal church will fall into
"~innocuous deseutude," and that the
question of card playing and dancing
are too insignificant to be accounted
statements made yesterday by Bishop
William o. Shepherd in an address to
the Methodist ministers of Chicago at
their weekly meeting at the First
Methodist church.
DR.. Shepperd, who was elected bish-
op at the recent quadrenniaI confer
ence of the church in Minneapolis and
who voted in favor Of changing the
rule giving more freedom in thmtos4. A
rule giving more freedom in the mat
ter of amusements, declared that the
way to handle the amusement question
is to preach the gospel so big that the
little, miserable, insignificant ques-
tons of dancing and playing cards will
be lost out of sight. He said that he
was tired of having these questions
put to him as a test of christianity.
"I feel outraged at the fact that
this question has to be made the big
question at every general conference"
said Bishop Shepperd. 81 feel outrag-
ed that it should have to come up at
all at each conference. 1t was the
one big question at the conference,
the question on which an aye and
mo- vote was taken. 1t is outrageous
to make that a question of christian
ity."

Daddy Bedtime
q. The Gas Lamp
DCOIV- That Dragged
Too Much

DADDY had told Jack and Evelyn that while pillow fights might be
highly amusing children who liked q bedtime story must keep quiet
~ or DO without the story.
SoJack and Evelyn settled down and daddy began: .
"Out In the street it is very dark at night; so dark that were it not for the
street lights people who must be out might have some trouble in getting about
@No wonder that the street lamps thought well OF themselves since they
made 1t possible for folks to get about after dark without getting hurt o be-
ing frightened
There was once a street lamp that was very proud OF itself It stood on
a side street and II had stood there for many years: y was only 2 gasnghG
and when the electric lights were put in by the city this one was left Il stood
just at the entrance 70 q long carriage drive to . lonely house whose owner
asked that the Light might be left there for his use
The gas lamp had a very fine opinion of itself and was quite uppsh because
he thought himself % useful in the world.

electric light Notice the soft golden light which I shed around me in the

THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1912.
Il PRIMARY LAW.


The primary law Is here-and 1t is
a permanent fixture, at least, till the
public tires of the new toy. The pri-
maries were invented because of the
abuse Of convention power by the
bosses. They served q purpose. In
most states, North Dakota for instance,
the object for which the primaries were
invoked has been accomplished. Con-
tinuei longer, the system will build Up
a gang rule that may eclipse anything
ever done under the convention sys-
t~en1-even in it's palmiest days.
The we'll known ONCE holder who
seeks reelection under the primary
law has a great advantage over a new
man-because OF the publicity he has
had through his official life. Some
people estimate this advantage is any,
where from 20 to s5 per cent over an
unknown opponent. This is admit
tedly unfair. The object Of the pri-
maries was not to p~erpetuate any one
man or set of men in Office.
The remedy for this is legislation
that will limit the officer holder to four
years Of service--so a new man can
stand a show.
The operation Of the primaries is
needlessly confusing, befogging and
ridiculous. The simplihcation of many
features of the law is imperative. Bv-
cry voter-even II he is not a univer-
sity graduate-shouId have a ballot
that is sufficiently simple for him to
express his wishes at the polls.
The technical and confusing features
of the primary law should be eIiminat-
ed. 1t should be freed from its Stun
bling blocks and made more explicit
in form.
The next legislature has a great, big,
large duty to perform.

TYPHOID CRIMES.

The recent death of Aviator Wright
from typhoid has served to call atten-
ton to the fact that such fatalities are
coming to be regarded almost as GRIM
inaL
Here was a man of international
reputation-just reaching the best
year of his life. Could he have lived
a few years longer he might have been
wen more famous.
He died of typhoid-an easily pre-
ventable disease. Medical authorities
have long g demonstrated this. The
most common causes of typhoid are
through infection by house flies, bad
drinking water-and unsanitary local
conditions. The sanitary conditions
can be improved. The flies can be ex-
terminated or e~xcluded-and the pres
ence Of typhoid bacilli in the drinking
water can easily be detected.

COST OF LIVING.

1t is easy to put on pap a cheap
way to live and to show in an itemized
bill how little it costs to feed one per-
son-even in this time of high prices.
1t is a little more convincing to give
actual experiments in the cost of ev-
cry thing pertaining to the table for a
given time.
This has often been done to show
that much OF the great cost of living
b due to extravaganza that might be
avoided.
al Columbia university student has
demonstrated that a person can live
on s1.45 a week. His wife went away
to visit her mother. and while she was
gone he concluded to experiment on the
cost of living for a given time by buy
ing and cooking his food. He purchas-
et butter. -four. sugar, bacon, eggs
cheese. milk, pie, ice cream, tomatoes
tea. salt, lard and baking powder
the average COS OF each of twenty-one
meals being less than Z cents.
This young mar thinks that every
housewife in the country should brine
the cost of living to each individual OF
the household down to the amoun hi

live on. But a comes forward
to testify that this experiment proves
absolutely nothing-unless the test car
be made to hold out for a whole year.

years and that the actual cost for eact

eRoNNA AND RECIPROCITY.

Senator Gronna of this state picked
up a two-edged tool in the United
States senate the other day. He tackled
on an amendment to a popular meas
ure and secured the repeal Of the rec
iprocity act.
Most North Dakotans are rather glad
to see the reciprocity measure turned
down-and agree with the senator in
that respect.
But the senator is charged with max
ing a political blunder Of rather i'm
menss proportions. The democrats
had fought reciprocity to a standstill
but some Of them wanted to get out
from under. They didn't demand its
repeal for political reasons. Senator
Gronna made it easy for them. The
repeal win pass the house and be up
to President Taft. He can't switch his
views at this late date-and will be
compelled to veto the measure. That
will put the republican party into a
big hole-and give the democrats q. big
campaign argument In the agricultural
states
The further fact that the repeal Of
the reciprocity measure will impose q
duty of 50 per ton on all print paper
from Canada isn't making the publish.
srs Of the country feel particularly
good. In fact, some Of the eastern
, publishers are quite peeved al the

cENsURINe CAPTAIN SMITH.

There are a lot of people who enter
ed a mental, il not a verbal protest at
the bitter censure Of Captain Smith of
the Titanic for his responsibility for
the greatest sea horror of modern
times.
Undeniably he failed to take the nee
essary precautions when he knew his
great ship was surrounded by tcebergs
md the safety of his boat and the
hundreds of passengers under his care
was endangered. To this extent, at
least, he was an accessory to the trag-
edy.
But there are other features. He
could have saved himself at the end
but, unlike the craven Ismay, he re-
manned at his post and assumed the
full responsibility of his position. Like
other brave men he met death cheer
fully and bravely.
He paid in full.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
PLAY GROUNDS
SPECIAL COMMITTEE WILL EN-
DEAvoR TO GET BEST TERMS
FOR MORE LAND FOR THE AG-
CASSIE AND HAWTHORNE AND
REPORT AT ONCE.

Taking the position that the board
Of education and the board of park
commissioners should work in unison
for the purpose of securing play
grounds for the children Of Fargo,
Judge Amidon last night appeared be-
fore the board of education and ex-
planned how the board could secure
Fairgrounds that were adequate for
the Hawthorne school and that such
an opportunity might never occur
again.
The Judge presented a petition
signed by all of the voters of the
Third ward, asking that the board Of
education purchase the Tyler and Ed
wards estate tract of land, which
would cost about $4,000, and would
give the school Fairgrounds that could
be used for years. He said that the
time would come when possibly this
land could not be secured at any price
| without condemnation proceedings,
and he thought 1t should be done. He
said that the land Of Joseph Ames
| could also be had in the same local
ity.
The judge also explained how the
Il pISESAlL 8ASAA4dS at NAAA5 GNAACSA - =
not at all adequate for Fairgrounds
and that the boys Of the seventh and
eighth grades had no place to play.
He believed that these grounds were
necessary and said that they could be
used during vacation time as well as
during school time.
He would like to see the co-opera-
ton of the two public boards, the
school and the park, and while he
thought the securing of a driveway
clear out to the county hospital bridge
might be a big thing for those who
owned autos and fancy rigs, it would
not benefit the children at all.
He said If the child is not permitted
to play when 1t Is young, that often
times the tendency to play when they
grew older developed criminal in
stincts which were a menace to So
eiety.
He said the tendency Of the times
was to do away with playing and de-
pend on the vaudeville show and the
dance hall for pastime and recrea-
ton.
He would like to see a super.
intendent of play secured by the two
boards, and he believed that. it would
be a profitable Investment; that il
was better to spend money in play
than for the police court and jails.
The subject was discussed at great
length and at its conclusion the spe.
cial committee that was appointed
some time 6 to look into the ques,
ton of the purchase of more play.
ground land for the Hawthorne schoo
was given power to negotiate will
the of the parcels of LAND
about the two schools n to report Al
a meeting to be held at the call OF the
president of the board.
1t was stated that it would TAX,
about $4,000 to complete the purchases
Of the land.

Bowman Pioneer: The republicans
of North Dakota this year have an OPP
portunity to place the state back in the
republican column by voting for L. B.
Hanna and nominating him for gov
ernor. He has represented the state
in congress for two terms and a ever
been on the lookout for that which
would be of benefit to his constituents.
He is interested in the upbuilding of
the state and the advancement of the
agricultural interests. AS governor of
North Dakota Mr.. Hanna can do more
for the people than any other man, and
should he be elected he will certainly
do Sc.

Press Comment

Marmarth Mail: There Is one man
who can carry this state to republican
victory this faIl-and he is Hon. +. b.
Hanna stick a pin here.
Almont Arena: That Cong. III b.
Hanna viii be the standard bearer Of
the republican party in North Dakota
after the June primary election, is the
general belief OF all clearheaded bust
ness men. There are few who have any
doubts Of his nomination and election.
Even the most ardent insur-
gents utter fears Of being able
to make a good showing for
Mr.. Buchanan at primary election.
Many OF the latter's friends admit that
Mr.. Buchanan, Notwithstanding his
splendid character and honesty, lacks
tact and affability and makes a very
Indifferent impression on people
wherever he goes.
Palermo Standard; In looking over
our exchanges from various parts OF
the state, we find that Hanna's candi-
dacy for governor is receiving as much
favorable mention as that of Buchan-
al The fact that n is labeled stall
wart," and the other ''insurgent' does
not seem to impress the boys particu-
larly. When it comes to the term pro-
gressive' one has as much right to 1t
as the other.
They are both residents of Fargo,
Much is being made of the statement
that Buchanan is q farmer-he is-by
proxy.
AS for as the state Of North Dakota
is concerned no man has stood more
consistently for progress, or labored
harder for the interests Of the state at
large, than has l.. b. Hanna. He has
fought earnestly in behalf of our
homesteaders and many a man has
him to thank for relief from some ILL
advised and unjust ruling of the gem
eral landoffice. Besides working for
the passage of laws to this effect he ha
attended to hundreds Of individual
cases, and what is more to the point,
he has bee nable to get results.
His personal means have been ever
at the disposal of enterprises calculat-
ed to boost the interests Of the state
and this has been done quietly and
without a press agent.
He opposed the reciprocity treaty
with Canada because he was convinc-
ed that it would work a wrong on our
farmers. Had he been a reactionary
he would have stood with the interests
that worked for its enactment.
The howl that is going up against
him is inspired, and infiamed by dis
appointed seekers after federal pat
rsnage and will not deceive anyone
who has the faculty of reasoning fol
himself, and least of all, our farmers
In all the howl there is not a single
true note. 1t is all insincere and play
ed for effect. Not a single specific
charge that would rebound to Mr.
Hanna's discredit has yet been brought
home to him.
