THE MARRIAGE RITUAL.

There are many demands that the
churches shall revise the marriage
rituals. One of the back number fea-
lures of the present ritual is that
which says with all my goods / thee
endow." This is in conflict with
many state laws. The expression is
at best an idealization-rather than a
practical truth-and is improper in
form.
But II will probably be retained in
all it's oriental imagery and defects
as q concession to sentiment Many
prefer ceremonial marriages to the
more commonplace kind that would
SAVIOR too much Of a mere business
partnership. 1t would scarcely be
possible to have ceremony without
imagery or idealization.
II is fine in marriage. 1t goes well
with the air casting OF the BRIDE
grooms and the brides. 1t lasts, at
least, till the honeymoon is over.
After that-things may be different.
1t is O. notable fact that when either
a widower or a widow tackles the
marriage game a second time or Oft
ener-they are willing to omit cere-
monial forms. The short cuts of the
most concentrated minister-or the
justice Of peace who is stingiest with
his language-seems the most salts
factory. They have been there be-
fore-and much of the id~ealization il

GREETING THE NoRwEoIANs

Fargo looks like a young Norway
This week as a result of the numerous
events in which the people Of that ma
tionality are interested. The district
ana the national meetings of the
sons Of Norway. the sanserfest BY the
Norwegian Singers association Of
America and the unwilling Of the
Rollo monument tomorrow are the
causes Of the immense gathering of
the descendants of the vikings,
The statue was presented to the
Norwegians OF America by the citi-
zens Of Rouen, France. 1t Is a dis
tinguished honor that Fargo won in
securing it. The greatest credit Is
due Dr. Herman o. Fjelde of Aber-
crotnbie for his successful efforts in
behalf Of this city.
The sangerfest is a national affair
in which the best trained chorus s Of
the west, as well as the leading Nor
weeian soloists, will appear. The
meeting this week is the eleventh BIZ
email session.
The Sons Of Norway are here from
every state in which there are local
lodges and the enthusiasm displayed
by the visitors is Indicative of the In
terest shown in the big organization.
Il is fitting that all these big affairs
should be held in Fargo. This city
and this state are the strongest Nor
wegian csnters in the United States.
The Norweeians have a greater per-
centage Of the actual population Of
North Dakota than any foreign ma
tionaIity. The same IL true of the
city OF Fargo.
Many Of the prominent people of
North Dakota in business, professional
ana political circles are descendants
Of the vikings. For that reason it Is
especially fitting that the Sons Of
Norway, the big sangerfest and the
RoIio statue should come to this city. ,
The people of Fargo-regardless Of
natlonality-are cooperating to as
sist ia the entertainment Of the visit
ors. The city's latch string is hang
ms outside-and q general welcome is
extended the visitors.

STOP EXCURSIONS.

The frequency with which serious

on excursion trains Is creating a de-

of tragedies is a long and bloody one.

North Dakotans-with their tenn
perance and laws against the sale OF
liquor can scarcely realize the condi-
tons that exist in Russia. There sa-
looms are run under government con-
troll. The czar is master of 10000
saloons and 1000 liquor manufactur-
ing places. The annual amount OF
money taken in from the sale of liquor
is about $500, 100000.
The liquor traffic is the cars mo-
nopoly and nobody is allowed to com
pete with him. He requires that
there shall be a saloon in every town,
be 1t ever so small-and more sa-
looms are forced upon the public re-
CARELESS of the desires Of the COM
munities.
Vodka, the national drink Of Rus
STA, and the beverage which is con-
sumed In the largest quantities, is
made from potatoes and cereals. II
contains much sulphuric acid and
makes its victims crazy. But the
peasants like the liquor and the car
wants the income. He finds II to his
personal advantage to keep his sub
jects ill~iterate and alcohol-mad.
Many communities in Russia, led by
enlightened men, have attempted to
shut up the saloons. They would
prevent the peasants from getting
liquor which holds them in ignorance
and drUnkenness-and imperils the
lives Of temperate persons. The car
instantly discouraged such action and
would not permit any community to
touch the liquor traffic.
In Russia the government expends
just ~ cents per capita every year
for education-while the per capita
expenditure for liquor varies from SO
cents to $3.50 a year.
Is it n wonder that Russia has a
bad reputation among the persons
who know it intimately?

FIXING RESPONSIBILITY.

In Fargo when a man falls on a de-
fectivs sidewalk and breaks a Les he

injury. There are laws which penal
ize property owners for leaving wells
unprotected and dangerous buildings
along the street lines.
on the same plan why can't Fargo
regulate the conditions and fine and
imprison men who maintain places
where mosquitoes and flies breed?
why couldn't a mar who is annoyed
by flies and mosquitoes u for dam
ages-and make the men who main
tain wet holes and filthy breeding

ness which has not assumed the form
of monopoly" All parties agree that
money enough to run the government
must be collected by tariff. That is
free trade. Protection is the tariff
above revenue sufficient to give the
American market to Americans rather
than to foreigners. Governor Wilson
would destroy all protection, gradually,
1t is true, but none the less certain.
That would reduce the tariff on wheat
and barley and FAX and cattle to the
lowest point of revenue production.
Inasn1uch as the present tariff serves
to keep out Canadian wheat and
therefore produces no revenue be-
cause there is no importation, Gov
ernor Wilson would reduce that tar1fL
to a point where Canadian h could
be imported and thus enable the gov
eminent to realize a revenue. That
is what liz meant by a tariff for rev.
enue. Now as the split between the
American and Canadian markets is
from s to 10 cents per bushel on wheat,
the Wilson idea is to reduce the tariff
so that both countries would be IN an
equality, or about Is cents per bushel
from the present tariff Of 20 cents a
bushel.

views to actual conditions. Now,
what would he do to accomplish this
result? This question was asked him
and it's answer defines his purpose:
'If elected president would you sign
tariff bills designed to remove all
tariffs except for ~Tevenue?' Mr. Will
son replied: Yes"
Before we decide to support him

British Columbia Plans to Have 100
Lineal Feet of pry-Farmsd Products.
Lethbridge, Alberta, July 1.-THE
provincial display of British Columbia
will be n OF the most attractive fea-
lures Of the big D~ry-Farming Pro-
ducts exposition here next October,
reservation having been made by Dep
uty-Minister Of Finance and Agricul-
ture w. e. Scott for 100 lineal feet
space and a depth Of at least TWEEN
ty feet.
Writing Chairman ]. w. McNicol of
the exposition committee. Mr.. Scott
says that it is planned to bring to
Lethbridge one of the finest exhibits
ever gathered in western Canada of
an extensive and diversified nature,
the feature Of which will be the fruit
grown without irrigation and speci-
mems of the timber for which the
province is famous. The fruit exhib-
its will probably be sent from here to
Chicago and New York land shows,
and 1t is expected that fully a carload
of choice apples will be collected for
this exhibit.
Our exhibit will be made more
with the idea of showing the re-
sources and potentiality Of our prov
inces than for competition" says
Minister Scott. I'VE do not have in
view the competing for prizes offered
for dry-farmed products exclusively,
because we have only a very limited
territory in which the precipitation
is less than twenty inches. But much
of our fruit and some of our vegeta-
bles are grown by dry-farming meth
DDS, and we desire the world to see
what we are producing, and we GER
tainly feel that we shall win the mer-
it's of praise Of all delegates to the
dry -farming congress-"
r. N. Winslow, horticulturist of the
department Of agriculture, writes that
he Is arranging to collect an unusual
ly large exhibit of fruit and that he
has advised all commercial organiza-
tions in the various districts Of Brit
ish Columbia to make a display and
will personally supervise the gather
ing Of the fruit exhibit.

Wilson will be the yardstick by which
tariff legislation will be measured
during his term, should he be elected.
Important to ascertain what those
personal views on the tariff are.
On June 18, last, the reform club of
the tariff reform COMMITTEES. q New

answers of the several candidates, both
democratic and republican, on the
tariff. These views were answers,

made by Congressman Helgesen at

in the minds of all no doubt as to
what the congressman intends to do.
While 1t will be pleasing TO all mem
Mr.. Helgesen could have done any
thing else. Himself a candidate for
nomination and participating in the
primary election as a republican, 1T
would Ia been q queer state of af-
fairs If he had chosen to bolt the
Mr.. Hanna was fairly nominated,
just as fairly and honestly as was Mr..
Helgesen, and for the latter gentle
man to pick and choos among the
party nominees would have been equiv
alent to a declaration that he did not
propose to be bound by the party's
action and that he was no longer a
member of the party which elected
him to office and which has maintain
ed him there and which will undoubt-
eddy elect him again.
OF course, the democrats would have
been pleased to see Mr.. Helgesen bolt
the party nominees, strife within the
republican party being the only hope
of democratic success,
Bpt Mr.. Helgesen is too astute a
politician Inc we believe too honest
a man to be led astray by the bray
ing OF the democratic jackass. He has
always af1liated with the republican

that he is going to stick by the good
old ship. He is to be congratulated
for his good Judgment and commend
