Official Paper of Ramsey County.
LAW ENFORCEMENT.

To insure the enforcement of statutes
passed for the protection of sosicty,
especially those bordering on what IS
known as the minor moral offcEses,
they must first be passed ~ legislative
action because majority OF the citi-
%cns Of ,Le state, deem it necessary.
Law is not self-enforceahlc, neither
may public officials to whom it's enforce
n.cut is primarily entrusted, dc 80
without the average public opinion
upholds the law. The presumption is
favorable that such statutes against
public offenses were demanded by u
majority of the voters: Now to the
point; not only do the people have
higher standards of living, but higher
conception of their political duties, to
see that laws against social ofenses
are not lightly considered and adopt
ed, but also to demand that the stat
utes be enforced. The conscientious
public official. like Ladd, is great fac
tor and leader: But back of that
must stand the average citizen with a
determined sense of public duty. In
the past ten years our Pure Food. Paint
and Drug statutes, in North Dakota
have been fairly enforced because the
public would not further stand for
the impure Foods and Drugs that com
petition was forcing on them. It may
be that purity is an ideal state for man
but no really; demands purity in what
he eats. drinks plants or uses and il
is not a far cry to relative purity OF
character.

THE DwMDL1Na BUT STILL
LIVELY GRAND ARMY.

The commander in chief of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, addressing the
forty-seventh encampment at Chatta-
nooga yesterday, made the pathetic re-
port that eleven thousand members
have passed away. during the last year
and that the membership has dropped
to hundred and sixty thousand.
These are ranks which can never be
recruited. The hand of death takes q
heavy toll each year, and it is slender
band indeed that remains of the SPLEEN
did host that marched to victory for
the Republic half century ago.
But considering that fifty years
have passed, the number Of survivors
does not seem SO small. They We're
sturdy young men who battled then,
and they are vigorous old men today:
Witness the fact that one veteran
yesterday did dash of a hundred end
forty yards in seventeen seconds. and
that two men finished two-and-ahalf
mile run. Men in the forties whose
wind would vanish in the first stretch
Of such sprints as these will pause in
wondering admiration Of the vitality
of these veterans.
May deaths touch be gentle and
slow, and may the gallant remnau:s
of the grand old army of '65 remain
with US long in peace. plenty and pros

Doubtless the readers of their home
newspaper think that what is publish
ed therein commendable to the town
and its citizens is seen only by those
who read the local paper. We believe
they do not realize the real scope of
their home paper. Frequently many 9th
er papers copy an article, thus sending
it broadcast far beyond the confines Of
the local sheet. Thus your town is
known over wide expanse Of country.
and it is the local paper that does this
gives your home town advertising
that no other channel can equal. You
be amazed to learn Of the items
about your town which other papers
clip and publish. Does your home paper
get the support it deserves7 We be-
lieve the country papers are too modest
and should publish the items reprinted
by others of wider circulation that the
home people may realize the broad
scope of their home paper. What bet
ter representative have you in the
broad worlds-Maddock Standard.

A New England clergyman is alarmed
by the habits and dress of the modern
woman. He has discovered that "she
devotes almost half her time to pleas
ure; that she CANDLES, drinks, smokes,
wears indecent dress and conducts her
self most immodestly." He even goes
SO far as to say that "her ideals arc
no longer on the same plane as those
of the modern man, This New Eng
land clergyman would make special
effort to redeem woman. This New Eng
land clergyman must have brushed up
against gay set at some summer re-
sort and judged all womankind by
what he saw there. In gay life there
are women who devote half their time
to pleasure who drink, smoke and gam.
BILE, who wear extreme styles Of dress
and whose ideals are not very elevat-
ing. But they are few compared to the
many and are the natural result OF
fast increasing wealth. They are the
lucky ones in the get-rich-quick strug-
gle in which they have lost their moral
balance. For his own sours sake this
New England clergyman should be
made pastor of some country church
He needs to be saved.-Milton Globe.

ROOM FOR MILLIONS MORE.

New York World: The opening of
the Fort Peck Indian reservation was
called one of the last drawings of
land Uncle Sam can hold. He is not
nearly at the end of his spare land
however.
There remains 6s20o0,OO0 acres Of
pubic lands. More than half these are
in Alaska, but there are in the old
United States enough lands to make
ten states the size of New York.
Rather more than enough land to
make a Connecticut, Massachusetts
and Rhode Island was patented in the
fiscal year 1911-12.
The remaining land, if it were all
available. would support sparse
grain growing population of 10000
900 not counting some millions more in
the cities created thereby; or a denser
farming population of 100000.
OF course, it is not all available.
Much of the and will apparently al
WAYS remain worthless. Much can be
made useful by drainage, dry farming
terracing or irrigation. The proportion
Of and so eclaimed will depend upon
economic conditions and the pressure
Of population. But there is certainly
room for some millions more Of farming
population upon public land.

High Cost of Living.

High Cost of Living.
Chicago InterOcean.)
A tabulated report Of the Bureau Of
Labor statistics at Washington shows
that the cost of food products to the
consumer has increased from ESQ per
cent on -four to 1885 per cent on bac-
on in the last twenty-fv years.
Cornmeal is 57.3 per cent higher
now than during the ten year period
from lSyU-lS99. Butter Is Alb per
cent higher; milk, 1874; potatoes 44.4
eggs 40.S; sirloin steak 75.2; hens76.s
and so on.
The only article Of which tn eprice
has declined is sugar. President Will
son please note that his free sugar
has declined 8 per cent in price.
The average increase on price in
June Is, 1913, was 3d.. above the av-
erage Of the ten year period from
1890 to 1899. Not only that but the
increase .is steadily going on. The
prices of 1913 are l4.4 per cent above
those of 1911, and 33 per cent above
those Of 1912.
The democrats maintain that the new
tariff will reduce the cost Of living.
Let us hope SO there is certainly room
for Improvement.

North Dakota may abandon Irvine
and brick making in the State peni-
Tertiary and substitute therefore work
on farms which will result in giving
prisoners a thorough idea of modern
farming methods, placing them in a
position to go into the land when they
conclude their terms Of servitude. The
fact that unions now block the way
to these men, prohibiting employment
to them in the trades which they have
learned back of the prison walls, has
resulted in the movement to agricul-
tural training. and which has the
support Of the North Dakota Banking
association, the North Dakota Better
Farming association and other organi
cations of like nature. In the North
Dakota penitentiary large percentage
Of the prisoners are employed in brick
and Irvine making and they are fitted
with useful trade when they leave
the prison. But organized labor Bars
the way to employment for many OF
these men. prohibiting them from TAX
ing jobs where union men are employed.
Investigating the conditions in the pen
itentiary with respect to the training
of prisoners, committee of the State
Bankers association, appointed at the
annual convention held in Grand Forks
in July recently recommended change
in the system of handling the men. The
purchase of additional lands and the
farming Of tbs properties on an extern
sive basis is urged, modern farming
methods being proposed that the pris-
oners may be trained in the new ideas
of agriculture. On the farm the de-.
mand for experienced and skilled Ia
Dor is ALWAYS great. and there is no
organized labor against non union men.

William Allen White. who MADE his
Emporia Gazette famous on a certain
occasion by asking, "what is the
matter with Kansas and answering
it, has written an interesting editorial
On the way prohibition prohibits /, mis-
part Of the state. He tells Of one hun
dred and fifty men motoring from town
to town in central Kansas on a trade
excursion tour. They were merchants,
hwyers. doctors, editors, clerks, mo
slipped at thirteen towns on days
run.
Yet no one in the crowd spoke of
beer, no one had any beer, and appar-
emily no one thought Of beer. No one
in the thirteen towns offered beer.
There were stone jars Of iced lemon
ade set out for the visitors, but there
was no whiskey, beer or wine in the
crowds Of Welcomers. MI. Allen
says:
No one missed it, no one spoke it.
For these men, ranging from thirty to
sixty had lived in Kansas tn rtg years
under abslute prohibition. .lost OF
them had never been in a saloon in
their home town in their lives. Booze
was as remote from their consciousness
- salboHc acid. Booze is not in the
Kansas scheme Of things. No one
thinks Of it. Its presence is not con-
sidered by the Kansas mind.
A recent Maine visitor in Minnea-
polls declared he had never seen a
saloon or drunken man until he was
twenty years old. Undoubtedly there
is liquor drunk in prohibition states,
but the tendency of the laws seems to
be to remove one of the suggestions
that lead to drinking as social OBJ
servance.
The law Of suggestion Is one Of the
controlling laws Of the human mind.
Ii the idea is hanished it's resulting
action does not take place. If liquor
is not suggested. men do not seem to
want it. If drinking places are not
seen or smelled, there is less drinking
In state like Kansas or North Da.
kots or Main,, prohibition doubtless
he1ps prohibit in this very way. The
suggestion is not SO powerful and men
naturally do not think 80 much about
It. Mr.. Whites testimony is an in.
teresting one.-Minneapolis Journal.
