vEToEs SEX INSTRUCTION

Two sides are very apparent in the
proposals for sex instruction. Very
many who have objected to it in the
high schools or grade schools have
thought it proper that it should be in
troduced in college. The trustees OF
the University of Illinois recently
adopted such a course and now Gov.
ernor Dunno vetoes it with the follow.
ing expression Of his reasons which
becomes very interesting when it Is
considered that this question will be
up for settlement in every school and
college in the land:
81 honestly fear that if sex hygiene
be taught in the schools and young
boys and girls in the open class room
are made aware of things which may
be taught in the line of sex hygiene, it
may create, and probably will create
in their young minds prurient curio-
sity which may induce rather than sup
press, immortality and unchastity.
PERSONALLY would not permit my
young and innocent daughters to be
sent to either a public or private
school where sex hygiene is discussed
in public.
IT think you can trust the mothers
and fathers of the land to guard their
children much better at home. ."-Ex.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

Repeating scandal, without having
positive information as to the facts,
is an inexcusable breach of decency
that ought to be cause for more severe
punishment. Charges of grave crimes
may be launched and Notwithstanding
that careful investigation by officers
fails to warrant any action, still scan
dal mongers will continue to add to
and build on regardless Of the shame
and grief heaped upon defenseless wo.
men and children. More charity, a
higher grade of veracity, and more
of spirit of fairness would help ma.
terially in spreading the gospel Of
charity.

"A prairie fire, which is believed to
have started by the sparks of an
engine on either the Great Northern
or 500 railroads, burned a wide strip
of land near the High bridge west of
'Minot. The flames of the big fire were
plainly seen by citizens in Minot, six
miles away. Some farm houses were
in danger for time, but the farmers,
who saw the flames coming, made pre-
parations to check their progress. The
blaze started about o'clock and had
burned out about o'clock. All grain
had been gathered from the fields in
that section, so little damage was
done.
Last Saturday morning December
6, 1879 Peter P. Kopriva of Langdon,
brought down to the Republican Office
a branch from one of his lilac bushes
showing that the sap had started and
the buds had swelled as though about
to leaf out. The talk in connection
with this caused others to examine
their shrubbery and nearly all found
that the extremely mild weather had
caused the shrubbery to start as
vigorously as we are accustomed to
see in April. What the effect will be
is hard to say, but many are of
the opinion that considerable damage
has been done to less hardy shrubs.

the sort of mud they would have to
build their dock on, and the dock
board claimed similar sum for the
breach of contract. During the for

GRAPHIC REPORT
OF ATROCITIES
On the Rubber CATERERS Of a
Peru District Sent to Con-
gress by Taft.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-A graphic
report of atrocities committed against
the native rubber gatherers of the
Putumayo district of Peru, made by U. |
S. Consul Stuart Fuller, after five
months trip through the heart OF the
South American jungles, was sent
to congress by President Taft.
Agents of the British company, ac-
cused by Sir Roger Easement in the
English parliament of perpetrating
horrible cruelties on the natives, frus-
trated every move that Fuller made.
He was able to obtain no information
that the company did not desire he
should procure A British consul
who accompanied Fuller recently
made some report to his government
that ZOO Wild Barbados men were
imported to Peru in 1904" said the re-
port. "They were armed with Win
Ichesters and sent to the interior to
enslave the docile natives. The en-
forcement of this illegal compulsion
was accompanied by gross outrages
upon the Indians, including murder,
lflogging and torture. in which the,
company through its agents forced
/ the Barbados n EN- to participate.
Death was the penalty Tor not bring
ing in certain quantity and quality
of India rubber from the nest remote
distance districts. Frequently the
agents would make an example of
some savage whose rubber was not up
| to the mark. His right-hand might be
cut off; he might be killed outright;
or he might be strung up to a tree by
his toes, until he died.
/ All the Indians now look well fed,
said Fuller, but some of them bear
stumps of arms and legs which tell
J. tales of horrible torture.
The consul disagrees with state
ments that the Peruvian Indians were
cannihals when subdued by the Eng
lish company.
"They are small. people, docile and
child-like,'',' Fuller declared.

always in debt. They are reduced to
slavery. Families pass Indebtedness
from generation to generation and Ii

THE situation is one to be deplor
