HAVE YOU TRIED TT

He owned handsome touring car,
To ride in it was Heaven.
He ran across piece Of glass
Bill $14.97.
He took his friends out for ride,
Twas good to be alive.
The carbureter sprung . leak,
Bill-34O.96.
He started out on little tour,
The finest kind Of fun,
Stopped too quick, stripped his gears,
Bill $9O.51. (.
He took his wife down town to shop,
To save car fare was great,
He jammed into . hitching post,
Bill $27S. s
He spent his little pile Of cash,
And then in anguish cried:
Ill put . mortgage on the house
And take just one more ride"

WHAT is TO BECOME OF THE
FALLEN SISTER?

Duluth is to wipe out us vice us
trict. Minneapolis has been engaged
in the attempt for several years. St
Paul is following suit. Other cities
are doing the same thing, says the
Duluth Herald.
Indeed, if the courts uphold the
cred light" abatement law passed by
the legislature at its recent session,
and effective at the end of this month,
it will become practically impossible
to carry on openly in this state "the
Oldest profession in the world"
What of the fallen sisters driven
out of their haunts by this general
movement against the vice district ?
What is to become of them?
Wiping out vice districts does not
destroy vice. 1t does not change hui
man nature. 1t does not affect the
conditions that create class Of fallen
women 1t does not reduce the brute
passions which foster this class. After
a given vice district has been raided
and broken up, there are just as many
fallen women as there were before.
They may be driven out of town /;
but that only means that they will
go to some other town. They may,
for time, be hurried from hiding
place to hiding place, where they
seek to carry on their terrible traffic
in defiance to law and executive ac-
ton. Whatever choice they make, or
is made for them, their numbers are
not affected in the slightest degree
by any crusade of determination.
In many communities-in St. Paul
and Philadelphia, for recent instances
- the good women Of the cities have
thought of this, and are planning ac-
ton for the relief of their stained
sisters who are the victims of these
campaigns for municipal morality.
It is talked that such movement
will be begun in Duluth.
This is timely. 1t is cruel to
scourge these women from their
haunts without taking thought of
what is to become of them. Stained
and world-woln though they are,
they are our sisters. The "civiliza-
ton" that created them should care
for them in some humane way.
What do those who are bent only
OF vice determination know about
what parental neglect, what lack of
youthful opportunity, what ignorance,
what lovers perfidy, put these women
where they are? Who is to judge
them, and be fearless of himself be-
ing judged for his part in creating
their misery?
1t is high time that thought, and
deep thought, were being given to
this problem. 1t is as important that
consideration be given the welfare of
these unfortunate women as it is that
the city shall make the attempt to rid
itself of vice.
Obliteration Of vice districts with
out some care as to what becomes of
those who inhabit these districts is
cruel, barbarous and uncivilized.

The Independent understands that
there have been quite number of res
ignations from the Commercial club
during the past few weeks. 1t is an
undisputed fact that many Of our cit
liens who have derived the most ben
eft from this organization in an indi-
rect way, have not contributed to its
support. We presume that the club
has not met the ideals of everybody in
every particular, but it is the best or
ganization of the kind that Minot
ever had and it has done a great deal
for the advancement of the city. Let
the club disband for a year and those
who have had an idea that the organ
ization never did much for the city
will be the first to see the grave mis-
take. We need some sort Of bust
ness organization in Minot and one
in which all of our prominent bust
ness interests are represented. We
have no criticism to make whatsoever
in the way in which the club has been
managed, but if it has not met with
the requirements Of the city, the fault
lies with those who have had nothing
to do with it. Let's all get together
and if necessary, reorganize its plan
The proposed budget must be carried
thru to successful issue, or the pres
ent organization is likely to cease II
exist.

The Women's Federated Clubs OF
the Third District Of North Dakota,
have started a work that appears
most practical. At the meeting of
the delegates held in this city last
week, plan was recommended
whereby women's clubs are organized
in the rural districts, to work in con-
junction with those of the cities.
There are any number of bright wo-
men living on the farms in North Da-
kota who will welcome this work. The
women Of the city and country work
ing together can accomplish much.

Superintendent E. G. Warren has
sent an appeal to the taxpayers in
the form of circular letter. 1t is
most cleverly written and very char
acteristic of Mr.. Warren. Whatever can
be said of the expensive manner in
which Mr.. Warren has conducted his
office, one must admit that he is a
game fighter and in no need whatso-
ever of that famous dope called Nerv-
inc. Mr.. Warren criticises the board
Of county commissioners for trimming
his mileage bills to less than the &C
tual expense incurred in visiting the
schools. As the Independent under
stands the law, the intent of that stat
ute is to give the superintendent suf-
ficient mileage to pay the expense Of
the number of miles actually and nee
essarily travelled in visiting the
schools. Mr.. Warren is not supposed
to make any money from these trips.
1t is presumed that his salary should
be sufficient to pay him for the trou-
BILE of attending to his duties. If the
salary isn't large enough for Mr.. War
ren's needs, he should give up his po-
sition and get into some more lucra-
tive line of work. The commissioners
inform the Independent that they are
willing to allow Mr.. Warren's mile
age bills where they do not appear to
be excessive. The Independent sug-
gests that Mr.. Warren and his depu-
ties keep an actual account of the ex-
penses incurred on their journeys
thruout the county and submit the
same to the board. There should be
no need of our schools suffering. Our
board Of commissioners are inclined to
be fair with Mr.. Warren. The indie
pendent is quite certain that they do
not want to do him nor the schools
an injustice.

There was some attempt made at the recent calling of the case to present argument and affi- davtS asking that the court do not as sume jurisdiction, but upon preSenta- = ton of affidaVits from the attorney general and others that there was no coGluSion in the case, the court decided to assume jurisdiction of the case.
 The railroads and Judge Barnum contended that the election at which the people voted upon not only the game law referrendum. but also the Woman's suffrage amendment, and the railroad bills was not a general cleo tion but special election. The state cited authorities. Attorney General Bullard was assisted by Leslie C. Har- dy The court took the case under ad- Visement,
