A entirely new Idea is The cCat collar

the Robespierre fashion, which X is

The collar turns back over the tailored
coat and the inevitable double jabot II
.ace or fine embroidery hangs below thc
collar, covering the coat opening. Raiiac
promises TO holl its own this season and
many new and interesting ideas ar.
shown ia this line. For instance. a new
blouse is OF blue ratine, with u fieur-de-
lys pattern in duh POM elan red. The
blouse is mounted over an underblouSe

Elsewhere in this issue is published
the unanimous and non partisan endor-
sement of the Stark county bar. of the
candidacy of Judge Bruce for reelection
to the supreme bench. Judge Bruce is
in politics a progressive republican and
was appointed to the supreme bench by
a democratic governor. Judge Bruce IS
well qualified in every way for the po-
sition he holds and in which he asks
to be retained and Gov. Burke showed
exceedingly good judgment in selecting
such a man. Judge Bruce is fearless
and has sometimes been criticized for
some of his decisions but nobody ques-
lions his honesty of, purpose or would
hold him responsible for the findings of
the entire court. Judge Bruce believes
in justice for all and has long been
wor king to eliminate those practi ces
which make unnecessary court expenses.
and cause the poor man and the man of
moderate e to bear injustice rather
than incur the extreme cost of redress
through the courts. Judge Bruce's
character. fitness and judicial record
make him the logical candidate. His
opponent stood Unexpectedly close to
him in the primaries simply because
everybody considered Judge Bruce was
safe any way. His friends should see
to it that he gets every vote that his is
in November.

A North Dakotan has just old as
quarter section of land which in 1890
found no purchaser at 81 cents per acre
for Sc. 400 or $40 per acre, and he
not anxious to sell at that figure.
In 1890. following a poor year. it was
next to impossible to sell North Dakota
land at any price. and entirely impos-
sible tt secure a loan on land. The
country was new and capital had no
confidence in it. The settlers themselves
were content to stay on their claims
from year to year and did not care to
prove up and secure title as that would
mean taxes which were more than the
value of the land. Now this is all
changed. Land is valuable for what it
has been found to produce. and because
land has increased as above 1. $50 per
cent in % years and because of the i'm
mense crops in Stark and surrounding
counties, five railroads are planning how
to ecu the largest share of the bust
ness of this section.

The PRESS begins this week the pub
LEGATION of two columns of democratic
national and state campaign matter
each issue until the November cleo
tions. The money consideration attach
ed to this is not sufficient to offer any
great attraction to a paper whose space
is valuable and the PRESS does not
take the matter for what there is in it.
Rather because the local democrats. who
are a bunch of royal good fellows, have
no organ of their own and we believe
nobody is harmed by hearing both sides
of a question and every intelligent voter
wishes to hear both sides before casting
his ballot.

Autumn, when the crops are gathered
in and the money is being deposited. in
banks or consigned to some less secure
hiding place, when the touch of frost in
the air night and morning gives a hint
of the approaching winters cold, is al
ways a season of outlawry. 1t is the
time of hold.ups, Of safe cracking and
of murder if there is resistance to this
high-handed money getting. This year
detective agencies are doubly active.
suspicious characters are watched and
the purchase of dynamite is sufficient tt
put a stranger in the questionable col
umn. The whole northwest is being
watched for yeggmen.
