IS YOUR FORMER WIFE AL1vEY


els your former wife alive7' seems
to be pertinent question, yet the con-
ception Of Billy Sunday, who is now
remodelling Fargo, has of it, brings
it rather to the point and sort of forces
the following which is taken from one
of his sermons:
''The Bible says what God hath join
ed together let no man put asunder.
The world says marry some other wo-
man.
"When you speak of divorce I am a
Roman Catholic. That church lives up
to the teachings Of the Bible in this
respect from top to bottom. You have
no right for divorce only on the
grounds Of adultery and you have no
right to remarry as long as either of
you are alive. hope my right hand
loses its cunning before marry anyone
who has been divorced if the one from
whom they were divorced is alive.
GA young fellow with silk lid and

THE HOTEL, MEN.

The hotel men of North Dakota are
in the city today and since they, N
keeping with the business they repre-
sent. are required to be the most hos
pitable people on earth, every hospital
ity must be extended to them while IN
the city.
To this extent Manager Mayer Of
the Great Northern hotel is making
the visit pleasant and the palatial
apartments of the best hotel in the
state, where many of the hotel men
can gain ideas that will be of benefit
has been thrown open to the visitors
Suggestions that win help along mu
tual lines to enlarge on the hotel work
in the state is the purpose of the gath
ering and to this end the Devils Lake
meeting is beneficial. Devils Lake
welcomes the hotel men, knowing that
there is always a cordial welcome il
store in the event any citizens visit
the hotels over the state which are rep
resented here today.

EXAGGERAT1NG STUPIDITY.

Allegations as to the ignorance IF
students seem to be made on bisis
that lays them open to the charge of
exaggeration. Thus the president of
the San Francisco normal school sends
out a pamphlet asking "Do We live
b. c. or A. Dr." and basing the query
on the allegation that he had been
shocked to find that most high school
students, while able to give good ac-
counts of Cassius and Brutus, they
knew nothing of Gompers, Booker T.
Washington, Diaz, LaFollette and Oar
win.
Further information develops the
fact that at an examination one or
more Of the students answered to
questions that Booker T. Washington
was "the assassin Of Abraham Lin
coln;" that Samuel Gompers is a
"member of congress and boss of dem
ocrats:" Charles E. Hughes, "the slay-
cr of Sitting Bull. )" and Robert NJ. La
Toilette "the governor of Connect
cut To our mind these replies are
under strong suspicion of being the
work of some reprobate who undertook
to guy the examination. If they are
supposed to be made in good faith
they evidently come from inspired
ounces of the class, of which one or
two are Always present.
But because there are those whose
ignorance protrudes itself in educa-
tional tests it does not follow that the
whole college body is so stupid. We
remember in history class many years
ago the recognized backward member
was asked 20 give the date of the dis
covery of America. After a struggle
he brought out the date "July 4,
l776;" but the shout with which the
class received the reply indicated that
the majority Of them knew the differ
ence between Columbus discovery and
the Declaration OF Independence.
1t is not very intelligent to blame
the students as whole with blunders
of the backward. If Grand Forks
scholar, for instance. does not know
who Samuel Gompers is, seek the
cause in the peculiar conditions of a
student who does not read the papers,
and not in the school curriculum.
There must be some things which an
individual is supposed to find out for
himself-Grand Forks Times.

AGAINST THE CHAUTAUQUA.

Sam Crouch says that he is glad the
chautauqua peope failed to sell the
necessary seven hundred tickets to

throwing confetti and striking people
with whips. There were no gamblers
or bootleggers. In fact, Sam says
there was absolutely nothing going on
but music and lectures. He thought it
was a shame to take the money, when
he could just rs we'll have spent it for

"These folks,' said Sam, "have made
her believe that she needs a vacation.
My mother never took no vacation.
We have been married eighteen years
and the old woman never had any va
cation notions before. If this chau-
tauqua business keeps up the first
thing I know she will be wanting to

in one party voting the ticket of an
other at the primaries-than to have

a bunch Of Methodists would try to

STORM OF PROTEST HAS ARISEN.
There is a storm of protest from
Cass county, and in fact from the en-
tire state, over the paroling of Joe
Remington. The son of the man whom
Joe Remington murdered at Fargo
will personally appear before the par
doning board at its June meeting
with petition demanding that the
board withdraw its parole order. 1t has
been alleged by some that some of the
names on the petition asking for Rem
ington's pardon were not authentic
Whether or not that is true, public
sentiment and the sense of justice de-
mands that the murdered be given the
punishment melted out to him by \
jury composed of twelve of his peers.
Young Flett demands that his fathers
death de avenged. Will the board Of
pardons heed this cry that is arising
from over the whole stated Or will
the North Dakota board of pardons
ignore the clamor of the people and
turn Joe Remington loose once moreT
Perhaps it is fated that Joe Reming.
ton shall see the prison doors swing
open to permit him to depart. Per
haps it is destined that" he shall be
met by an officer of the law and taken
before a Minnesota court to answer
to another charge of murder. Perhaps
if Joe Remington really is guilty of
completely in the Spearman murder, it
is Destiny which guided the issuance
of the parole to him, that he might be
taken into Minnesota, and that, if
found guilty, the deaths of three inno-
cent people, an aged woman, an old
man, and little boy, will be avenged.
Destiny works in an inscrutable man
ner. Who can tell what the answer
will be in Joe Remington IS caseq The
board of pardons might tell. But will
it? Will it give Joe Remington his
parole, or will it revoke it, Will Joe
Remington be taken back to Mime.

STATE PRIMARIES.

If the election were mere free-for.all,

WHO ARE THE PIGGERS F.!

We have heard so much about pig
gers and piggers rule in Devils Lake,
that a word in this connection as 70
who the real piggers are would not be
amiss. 1t is not anyone connected
with The World however, but more
likely with the Journal. For instance
we have heard people brag about the
fine structures, the monuments they
have erected to Devils Lake, they
claim to own them or have control
ling interest in them, yet judging from
the numerous times the tenants of the
places have been on the carpet, one
would not find it difficult to imagine
that sometime or other that what is
commonly known as "pigs' We're ell
lowed to operate in these fine edifces.
which the stockholders of the Journal
cAdlui " nave erected rs monuments
to the city. Whether the "pigs" are
in operation now The World is not pre-
pared to say, but it is generally known
that such has been the case. The

this establishment being a "pigger'

the real "piggers are wanted the
World does not come within thous.

EXPERIENCE COUNTS.

Experience counts in the race for
governor and the fact that L. B. Han
ma possesses all the qualifications iden-
teal to Mr.. Buchanan and whole lot
more, should be an important factor
in nominating the proper man. The
experience that Mr.. Hanna has receiv-
ed in both branches Of the legisla-
ture makes him qualified to give the
state proper administration as gov
ernor and this, coupled with his pleas
ing disposition which makes him a
friend of all whom he comes in con-
tact with, will go a long way toward
his nomination for governor at the
June primaries.

CLEANING UP.

The time has arrived when there
should be a thorough cleaning up Of
the leaves, papers and accumulation
of the winter debris. The board Of
health has proclaimed cleaning up
for the city, and every citizen who
takes pride in his own grounds or
business place should cooperate. It is
practically impossible to haul away
the greater part of the leaves and pa
pers and the only sanitary way is to
have them burned. Let everyone take
hold and show the state the best clean
ell town in the state, not only for q
week, but for the remainder Of the
summer.

pearance Of the grounds is q warning
to other residents of. the city to get
busy. Many have already, with the
assistance of nature, beautiaed the
grounds surrounding their homes and
those who have done so have not only
increased the value Of their property
but have enlarged on the beautiful APP
pearance Of the city. A well kept.
city is great asset. At this season Of
the year many farmers from other,
states are brought here to inspect lands.
The city to which the lands they in
tend purchasing are tributary to is q
vital point with them and the new set
tiers impressed with Devils Lake, find
ing a city as well kept as those in the
east, will be encouraged to make this
their permanent home.

The necessity of putting the seed to
a proper test is required more this
year than ever before, according to ad-
wise from those who claim to know.
1t has been asserted by one authority
that Ramsey county will not get a
third Of the crop this year owing to the
carelessness on the part of some farm
ers in hurrying their seeding operations
and not allowing several days. test,
but taking some seed merchants word
for it. Above all things, since as you

WRONG METHOD.

The World will not attempt to say
that liquor has not been sold to the In
dians, for it believes that such has
been the case, but the statement that
the officials Of this city have not put
forth every effort to obtain information
and prevent the sale of liquor to the
Indians must be resented and is resent
ed by even Superintendent Ziebach Of
Fort Totten, who has been quoted
wrongly in the matter through the
Journal. The fact that liquor has been
sold to the indians is bad enough, but
when lieing is resorted to as proven
tative then the wrong is made ten times
worse.
Superintendent Ziebach, is said, ac-
cording to the article, has repeatedly
made complaint to the local officials to
put stop to the outrage, but apparent
ly not the slightest attention has been
paid to his appeals. In talk over the
telephone with The World today Super
intendent Ziebach branded this as a
lie by making the statement that he
had been given every assistance by the
local officials in rounding up the guilty
parties.
Superintendent Ziebach stated that
he made no such statements as he ap.
peared to be credited with in the Sat
urday evening Journal, and if such in
formation was given it must have come
from special officer. Even today the
local officials gave Mr.. Ziebach help.
ing hand and with his assistance will
be able to round up some of those gull.
ty of selling liquor or procuring liquor
for the Indians.
The whole trouble with the endeavor
of the police to put stop to the affair
and procure proper evidence, is not due
to their failure of duty, but rather from
the fact that some of the special officers
in "hobnobbing" with few of the
whiskered Sherlock Holmes of the city
are warned to secure no information
from the police, hence the special of.
ficers do not get the required assistance
thus giving the trouble makers chance
to continue knocking, instead of lend
ing helping hand to prevent the out.

NORTH DAKOTA AND ILLINOIS.

NORTH DAKOTA AND ILLINOIS.
The Minneapolis Journal took editor.
ial notice Of the primary results in
North Dakota and Illinois, as follows:
The usual charges that the other par.
ty interfered in the republican primary
are now made in Illinois, where they
seem to have less basis than elsewhere.
In North Dakota the democrats had
little interest in their own primary.
The delegates were pledged in advonce
to Governor Burke, and one democrat
to precinct was enough to elect them.
But in illinois there were to be non,i.
mated in addition to the presidential
delegates full state ticket, twenty
seven congressman, to say nothing IF
tho local tickets and the advisory vote
for senator.
Both parties had these matter to
attend to, and it was common talk be-
fore the primary that the fierce battle
for the governorship had even eclipsed
that over the presidency. The repub-
licans had five candidates for COVER
nor, the democrats three. Deneen had
a tussle with the Lorimer candidate,
who ran as the Lincoln league choice.
Under the circumstances practically
no republicans voted in the democratic
primary. How was it with the demo-
crats' Messrs. Alschuler, Dunno and
Caldwell had hot race for the COVER
norship nomination. It was real
race, for the democrats are hopeful of
electing their candidate next fall.
There was also contest between two
leading candidates for president. If
these interests were not sufficient to
keep the democrats in their own pri-
mary then the thing is impossible.
The chances are that the cross-vot-
ing was less in Illinois than elsewhere,
and that the result there is rather due
to the poison of internecine strife ir-
jected into the republican party of the
state by the presence in the senate Of
William Lorimer, and by the activity
in the local affairs of the state of Lori
mer and his lieutenants.

ANOTHER LIE.

The World was accused wrongly Of
publishing an article with reference
to a conductor putting . woman and
a babe off the train and forcing them
to walk back to this city considerable
distance. The World never had such
an article as appeared in the journal
in its paper. The World never accused
any conductor of wrong doing, neither
did it suggest that the severest sort of
punishment should be meted out to the
one responsible for the act. Such an
article that appeared in the Journal
