SUNDAY WORK.

Notwithstanding all the inconven-
;Nence caused by closing first and Sec
ssmd Iclass postoftices Sunday, there
axIM the much sympathy with the de-
ss<zae of postal clerks for a voorhees,
dzy of rest.
II hardly seems necessary that q
qo6toftice employe should be kept
zfrnm his family on the worlds weekly
sholiday, while he's distributing picture
ssust cards and advertising circulars
:Entp private boxes.
The postmaster general has made
provision for newspapers and hotels
really needing Sunday mail, and per-
Maps some few other classes of the
s7ahaic need such accommodation.
The average business man, how
ever. would do better to break of the
rglsbit he has formed of getting his
1snB1ness mail Sundays in all places
where the Office is open on that day.
II unfarorable news comes Sunday,
ne rarely can take any steps on that
>41sF TO save himself from disaster. If
ann,d news comes, it will be just as
.EDHA Monday morning.
Ii wiu do the business man good to
l1n6Ee MS ledgers and letters. Let
hIm listen to the songs of the choir
I1z1akad Of reading the bowls of his
customers because goods are not de-
Nvered. Or if he is not a church
aner. the voice of birds will be much
better than the grumblings of pat
-Kons-
The wear and tear of business
zzrinds particularly hard on the man
'zz,o insists on opening his mail Sun
days. With all his assistance gone,
ne feels helpless in the lonely silence
.s1f his store or factory. Difficulties
sseen mountains, and the rest day God
and the law have given US is fretted
away needlessly. If his mail lies un-
til Monday, with his helpers around
Kim difficulties will not seem half so
Dig
>O course the time the postal clerk
uufks Sunday has been compensated
for by time given some other day.
But such irregular rest hours don't
count Even a postal clerk likes to
Keep step with his fellow men, to
Wurk when they work, and play when
they play.

VISITING SCHOOL,

You look out carefully for the ex.
terror of your boy as he sets OF to
school in September. He must have
shiny shoes, we'll brushed hair, clean
recktie, or he would better stay at
home. But do you know anything
about what they are putting into his
head!
The old fashioned school used to
have a throng of visitors for "exhibi-
ton day." The children sang sweet
little songs about daisies, and spoke
pretty little poems about the brides.
The question whether they could keep
a cash account or write a hand that
a human being could read was much
in the background.
If a parent happened into the school
on any day but the closing one, a hush
Of awe spread over the little faces at
the unaccustomed sight. Teacher
ratified her papers nervously, and the
children missed.
Visitors are more common in the
modern school. but probably not one
parent in ten averages to enter a
school room once a term.
And yet the question what they are
doing with your children is vastly
more important than what the styles
for children's coats are. But parents
do not seem to think so.

PUBLICITY OF NEWS.
PAPER OWNERSHIP

Very wholesome reforms often run
TO eccentric lengths. This is the case
witk the new law ordering newspa-
apers to disclose their owners, includ-
ing stockholders and bondholders.
-zSeEspapers must soon file the list of
stock and other security owners semi
annually, to be printed also semi
annually in an issue of the publica-
Zion.
So the little Bingville Clarion,
Which takes part of its pay in cord
wood, must give up the fact that the
sWife OF the editor, who does her own
EIonseTorh, put up 10 per cent of the
cash needed to buy the sheet Seems
4 good deal like the policeman who
was sent out to Guell a riot. and end
ed ZIP by arresting a small boy, does
1t not?
Meanwhile in the case of the Inter-
national Octopus, Limited, capital
$40 eOD, 600, which controls a commod-
Ity in some vast territory, there is a.
natural demand that the public should
know What returns are being gained
from this monopoly.
Modern social ideals sanction this
as just demand. Corporations are
given exceptional privileges on. the
<supposition that they can and will
srender exceptional service to the peo-
pie Rewards should be proportioned
10 service rendered. Where an alb
saorna reward is gained, from the
tact of monopoly existing, the pub
Tie AT least ought to know it.
Yet these great corporations are yet
.sable to keep their more important Sc
~crefs locked in their impregnable
ssaEes. Wherefore it sometimes seems
eahat laws are a net which holds the
rninnDws and lets the big fish through.
One of the provisions of the law re-
feFned to is that all daily newspapers
AhAn include in this public notice a
statement OF the number of copies
distributed to paid subscribers. Now
the newspapers are not going to kick
xnnch on this provision. Most Of them
zsre willing that their circulation
ah0ald be known, ut least to those
Nsho have any business to know it

Prefers Felony Charge
To Running Blind Pig
RATHER THAN DO II YEARS
PRISONER WANTS TO PLEAD
TO STEALING HORSES, -

Rather than face court on the
charge Of boot Logging George
Woods wants to plead guilty to
charge of horse stealing and accept
a sentence in the penitentiary.
Woods was arrested in Fargo last
night on a charge OF selling liquor
to a threshing machine crew near
Fingal, and was returned to Valley
City by Chief Of Police Swanson.
When Woods left Fingal he took a
livery rig, which he left at Buffalo
and went on the train to Fargo. The
team was found three days later in
Buffalo livery stable.
Fellow prisoners have been telling
Woods, who is a stranger, what ter
rible offense it is to "peddle BOOZE
in North Dakota, and when he was
told the minimum sentence for yiolat.
ing the prohibition laws is eleven
years, Woods Immediately announced
his desire to plead guilty to horse
stealing. He is Of the opinion that he
would much rather go to the peniten-
t1ary two or three years on a charge
of stealing team, than spend eleven
years behind the bars for illicitly dis
posing Of liquor. &># - !:
No charge for taking the team has
been made against him, and he will
be held on the strength of the other
offense until the district attorney re-
turns to consider the matter.

Republican State Committee
ADOPTS Progressive PIankS

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 6.-The Re
publican state committee. which JUS
closed it's meeting here, adopted the
following platform:
We affirm our loyalty to the funda
mental principles of the Republican
party and reafirm our belief in the
protective tariff principles. but We
insist that the present tarin scned
ules should be revised downward tt
point which shall equalize condi
tons of competition between the
United States and foreign countries
both for the farmer and manufactur
ers.
To this end we favor the creation
of permanent, Independent and non
partisan tariff commission.
Said commission shall make it's re
ports and recommendations direct tc
congress, and its report shall be pub
lined, so that the people may be ad
vised of its Investigations; and we
further favor the consideration of the
various schedules separately, so that
each may be dealt with on its OWL
merits.
Election Of Senator'S,
We pledge support to the pending
amendment in the constitution for the
election of senators of the United
States by direct vote. =
We favor amending the parcels post
law by increasing the weight limit
on food products and reducing the
rates on same to the lowest possible
level. . 49,.
We favor the enactment of a fed
eral statute providing for the nomina.
ton of candidates for president and
vice president by direct vote of the
people at a primary election to be
held in all states
We favor the enactment of the
Kenyon-Shepard bill providing for the
regulation of liquor shipments under
the interstate commerce law.
We commend the work Of the last
state legislature in its establishm ent
of a non-partisan tax commission and
of non-partisan board Of control
and its general and efficient laws in
the interests Of the people.

After a long discussion, which last

the following resolution was adopted
but strong protest was made agains
it by Judge Young Of Fargo and othe1
prominent members Of the committee
Conventions Obsolete, ,.
The convention system under which
candidates of United States presidents
are nominated have been frequently
subject to manipulation and has sud
denly grown into popular dis1avor.
Under its operation, fraud and cor
ruption are well nigh inevitable, an6
the will of the majority frequently ig
nored. The methods employed in the
recent national republican convention
have failed to meet the approval of 8
great number of republican voters Of
this state. -..,
This being true, while we remain
firm in our allegiance to the republic
can party and the principles and poll
lies for which it stands, and pledge
our support to the candidates named
on the state and congressional ticket
we insist the support of the nationa.
ticket shall not be a test of party
fealty. '.'
