Mrs. Pennypacker was the strongest

William Pike, 60 years Of age. for
a balf-hour yesterday afternoon faced
a term in the county jail for contempt
of an order of Judge G.. W. Morse in
tho divorce matinee of the Third dis

Pike had not made sufficient effort
to raise $50 back alimony due to his
wife, the court ordered him confined

he got out of the court room Mr.. Pike
thought matters over and said that he

fifteen months ago Joanna Pike was
awarded an interocutory decree from
William Pike by Judge George G

Cause of Punishment.

Two weeks ago Pike told Judge
Morse he could not raise tho money
although he admitted that he owned a
piece of farm land that was conserva-
lively worth more than $6500, which
was unencumbered. The court ordered
him TO borrow the money and pay the
arrears or come into court on June
ii and show that he had made a rea-
sonable effort. He neither paid the
money nor came to court, and he was
arrested on u bench warrant and was
later released upon deposit of $l00
bond.
Yesterday Pike said he had tried to
raise the money and had failed The
court thought tho effort not to have
been reasonable, and ordered him
locked up until the alimony was paid
Pike then discovered that he could get
the money
Joseph Young, after spending week
i'll Jail, decided yesterday afternoon
that he would be able within the next
two weeks to square his alimony ac-

AN UNENVIABI.E DISTINCTION.

In London cablegram are told that Major
Page referring the Titanic disaster at the annual
meeting Of the London Chamber Of Commerce. took
occasion to express regret that the United States
should permit the telegraph to be private instead
of public function
- Major Page, who was member of the commits
sion which reported in favor of having wireless
telegraphy in England placed under control of the
british government stated that in other country
In the civilized world conditions so wretched as
they in the United States where the telegraphs
do not belong to the government. Unfortunately
it has been become the fashion in that country to
permit amateur wireless operators. When we read
That N1arconi grams can be tapped, must remem-
Der that the United States is the only country in
which that can be done.'
The criticism was aroused by the false reports
that the passengers of the Titanic had been taken
bH by other ships, and that the Titanic itself was
beng lowed to port-reports which the British gov
eminent is trying to trace to their origin but which,
owing to the chaotic conditions existing in the
of the wireless telegraph in the United States are
difficult to trace
With the telegraph under private ownership the
united States government finds itself in
barrassng position in undertaking to regulate wire
less telegraphy. If the telegraph were govern
ment function, it could be made public monopoly

Save to the government to those licensed to
ploy it under government supervision. To grant
This function to- a private monopoly however, would
arouse unfOrtunate criticism. The American
people are not in mood to look approvngly upon
the creation of monopolies by act Of congress.
81 The fact that the government of every civilized
country in the world, the United States, owns
and operates the telegraph should have it's effect
in breaking down opposition in the United States
TO government ownership. Wireless telegraphy, if
it is to be employed of general COM
munication, must be operated monopoly:
Where any every is permitted to establish
wireless stations confusion results, efficiency is
duced and secrecy SACRIFICED
The time ought to be propitious for congress to
pass Representative Bergers bill to make the tele-
graph, with other means Of communication, gov

to private corporations.

DOLLAR DIVIDENDS
AND HUMAN LIVES

1t is ever the same old story. The
Titanic disaster was appalling only
In the number Of human lives lost. ~.
The toll is taken every day in the
year by the greed for dollars, dollars.
more dollars.
The Titanic could have carried
enough life boats to float her entire
crew and passengers; but if she had
carried enough life boats she couldn't
have carried so many passengers.
Fewer passengers every trip would
mean fewer dollars every trip, and
the owners of the boat figured only
in terms Of dollars. 49,.
Tennis courts. swimming tanks,
gymnasium, luxurious quarters for
passengers cost money to start with.
but attract business, which brings
moro dollars into the pockets of the
owners.
More life boats cost money to start
with and the. only possible dividends
they can ever return are human lives.
The United States Steel corporation
makes steel rails from steel ingots
from which all the tlawed material
has not been removed. To remove
the faWed material would cost mon
ey, but save human lives. To allow
it to remain increases dividends, and
costs thousands Of human lives every
year.
If every street railway in the coun-
try would equip it's cars with the
Liverpool fender. there would be but
few people killed by being run over.
The Liverpool fender is not pat
ented; anyone can use it without
paying royalty. =
But it would cost money to equip
all cars with these tenders and the
only dividends they would pay would
be tn human lives.
The money cost is always the first
consideration, the cost of human lives
the last. =. There is no use appealing
to the humanity Of the men who get
the dividends. Nothing but the dol
lar dividend appeals to them. The
other dividend, the human life divi-
dend, must be forced from them by
the firm hand of the law.
They will fight against it to the
last ditch; but the human life divi-

THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT.

One of the mighty lessons that has come from
the last moments of the sinking Titanic is lesson
of values. In that hour the thought that brought
comfort to which doubtless all turned who were
mot distraught the religious hope which found
expression in the words of ''Nearer My God, to
Thee"
great contrast is suggested between the hope
of the man who has had religion beyond the
religion Of material things and the man who has
held that we should seek such material satisfaction
hn life can, while
For when all other distinctions had lost their
force and the doomed men stood one level before
their common end, this only could have counted
Then, indeed, the man more to be envied who
had held the higher faith, who had acknowledged
a God to be reverenced, God who had created
the spirit Of less than his body, and had
set an ideal of righteousness.
What, then, was the position of the other man
ito this? The man who adopted the political and
economic and social school of thought which teaches
That life consists only in material things that in
acquisition and in power it's satsfactions must be
sought? The man who ignores God, belittles re-
gion and would debase family life ITSELF which to
all religious men is sacred
One recognizes law that is higher than
fhese things; he knows principle Of happiness and
satisfaction that is not dependent upon them be-
cause it measures achievement by it's nearness to
an ideal of life which is not material. The other
preaching the old philosophy of 'eat, drink and
be merry, for tomorrow die, - finds little enough
that does not contradict in the value of his principle
IN such an hour as they met who went down with
the great Titanic.
! The man who believes in life of the spirit
Knows other triunphs and other satisfactions than
This Doubtless too, the men who had thought
chiefly Of material satsfactons did not fail to find
comfort in the words Of faith which the brave effort
p the band brought to their minds But life itself
had untitled them for deriving as much from that
religious hope as the man who had acknowledged
the spirit we'll as the flesh
A man cannot neglect part of his body or his
soul without finding that it is atrophied He can
not turn to spiritual consolation when for years
he has not admitted that there is spirit And
from the sublime and awful picture Of that sinking
ship has come again witness to values greater
and more enduring than the material.

the North Dakota wheat and sold to
the people Of North Dakota under

years Of it's short-sighted policy, the
National Biscuit company, doubtless
realizing that it had cut off it's nose
to spite its face, reentered the state
of North Dakota few months ago
with it's products labeled in accord
ance with the requirements Of the
state law. Nor is such labelling ex-
clusively for the North Dakota trade.

BOOSTS AND SLAMS
ON CURRENT EVENTS
ACCIDENTS TO SHIPPING
TRUST ARE FREQUENT

" OW is it most Of the big acct
IL dents at sea occur to ships
owned by the so-called Shipping
Trust? The Cunard line has been
operating it's boats for more than 60
years and it boastfully claim, as it
has a right to do. that in all those
years but one life Of a passenger has
been lost in wreck at sea.
There is a reason for this. On
Cunard liner the captain is the alb
solute master of the ship and is held
personally responsible for everything
that occurs thereon. There is a per-
sonal relationship between the own
ers and the captain and the men.
However, since the great Shipping
Trust was organized with. J. P. Nor
gan and his like at it's head, personal
relationship has been eliminated and
become the one and all important
factor that moves it's ships.
The Titanic, it is aid, did not
carry a search-nght and the crows
nest was without q telescope. The
owners of the ship did not supply
these necessary instruments Of safety
In modern marine transportation for
the reason that they could be OBJ
tanned cheaper in the United States.
The Titanic was not to be sup
piled with them until the boat had
arrived upon this side Of the Atlantic
ocean. It did not occur to the great
Shipping Trust that safety comes
first and that it would have been the
proper thing to have shipped a.
search-light and telescope to the
other side of the Atlantic before the
Titanic started upon its voyage.
Hunger for profits is responsible
for more accidents on land and sea
than any other factor. The people
cannot depend on private interests
to install means of safety. They must
be forced by law and those who fail
to abide by the provisions of the
law, no matter what the financial
cost may be, ought to be held crim-
inally responsible.

NORTH DAKOTA SETS PACE:
BRINGS BREAD TRUST TO LINE

n NE of the stock arguments
~ against state laws of a. re-
strictive nature is that such laws
place the state that passes them at
a commercial disadvantage. One
state passes a law prohibiting the en-
ployment of children of tender age
In factor1es-a humane law; a law
that most civilized countries have
had on their statute books for quar-
ter of a century; law Of which all
right-th1nking people see the need.
At once a plant goes up from the
manufacturers of that state urging
that the law be repealed because
since its enactment they have been
unable to compete with the manu-
facturers in the same line of busi-
ness In neighboring states where
child-labor is still permitted. Or, it
may be, the state passes a law for
bidding women to work more than 10
hours day. Again protest is raised.
The argument that q righteous,
much-needed law will drive business
from the state is a powerful one and
has been responsible for many Of the
social and economic ills from which
we are suffering. Nevertheless,
there have been, and are, states that
are willing to make same commercial
sacrifices for principles sake. North
Dakota has what Is called met
weight law" requiring all package
goods to be plainly labeled with the
net weight of the contents certainly
a reasonable law and one to which no
honest manufacturer should object.
the National Biscuit
company, one of the largest concerns
of it's kind, preferred to withdraw
from the state rather than comply
with the law. Possibly the company
believed that by the withdrawal of
it's products-and, more important
yet, its advertising from North
Dakota, the net weight law would
be overthrown On the other hand,
Il resulted In the building up within
the state of North Dakota of large
plant whers biscuits were made from
