Specializing in PURITY

A training school in which the principles of purity
may be taught is a proposition advanced at the Inter.
national Purity congress in Minneapolis, and it has
received much encouragement. A special committee
has been named to consider scope, location and
financing. This committee is to report this week.
That this is an age of specialization has been long
recognized. Division of labor has been carried to
an extreme, until the complaint has grown that we
are making human machines Of high efficiency in
stead of well-rounded men and women. The graduate
schools have recognized this tendency and the aver
age man cannot expand the letters in half the de-
grees currently conferred. But that we are to have
bachelors, masters and doctors of purity is a novelty
worthy of comment. The report of the committee
should be interesting. Especially should the proposed
curriculum attract attention.
From the brief dispatches it is learned that the
necessity for the single standard of morality will be
stressed. Usually the discussion of this question
raises doubt as to whether the standards are to be
brought together by compromise or whether the
standard of the men is to be raised. Why an appeal
to men to be pure should be accompanied by a com.
parison of the high standard required of women is
q mystery. Is a high standard OF morality a hard.
ship or a blessing? Is it something to be endured
OF necessity or something to be rejoiced in? There
was once a %cOpybook maxim to the effect that virtue
is its own reward. Men were urged to be pure for
purity's sake and not as a matter of justice between
the sexes. We incline to the belief that the instruc-
ton should be along this line and that it should be
in the home. The tot of a girl is warned from the
time that she begins to walk that certain things ARE
not %ladylike.' This home instruction continues dur.
ing all her childhood. Too often the boy is allowed
to run at large and do as he pleases, since he is
"just a boy" That he should not have as high a
standard is natural, following such neglect in early
home training.
Judging from the plays, articles and books that
have been Endorsed by many active workers in the
International Purity congress little good may be
expected from its new venture. The teaching OF
sex hygiene in the public schools is one of the pet
projects of the congress. That this violates the
fundamental principles Of psychology has been fire.
quently pointed out. In this connection a recent
little story appearing in the Boston Transcript is
suggestive. A mother reproached her little son for
teaching the parrot to swear. The boy protested
with indignation that he was teaching the parrot the
words that he ought not to say.

Miraculous Justice

The ~acquittal Of the defendant in the Kiev so.
called ritual murder case is the most surprising
feature Of the whole incredible atavism involved in
the trial. The civilized world would have been
shocked at the grotesque injustice of conviction, but
i: would not have been surprised. At this distance
the bringing of such a charge, in the second decade
of the twentieth century, is evidence of such an
astoundingly %benighted state of public opinion in
Russia that only conviction was looked for as the
logical result of a charge that turns back the pages
of history to the cruel and bloody story of the Dark
Ages.
Acquittal seems almost a miracle. The case was
not one of evidence. 1t did not hinge on any delicate
balance of testimony for and against. No sane man,
no man who is not worse than blinded by racial
partisanship, believes for a moment in the absurdity
of ritual murder. The defendant was not confronted
with the simple task Of defending himself success
fully from damaging proofs: the charges against
him were supported by perjury, ignorance and super
stition. That a jury could be found under such cir
cumstances that dared to defy the %vindictive malice
Of the anti-Jewish ~populace and even the government
itself, is the most remarkable phase of the whole
incident.
People who live in any really civilized country
cannot conceive the extremes to which even honest
3bigotry and mistaken religious zeal, will lead their
deyotees, to say nothing Of the ~barbarity which is a.
the bottom Of the anti-semitic propaganda. In this
country there are many deplorabe exhibitions of race
prejudice, but they are the exceptions which prove
the general rule, that substantial justice is at tie
command OF every man %arraigned in the American
courts. But the bitterest and moss vicious race an
taeonism in this country is fraternity itself compared
with the hostility Of the Russians, from the rabble 20
the throne, from the moujik to the czar, that makes
the lot OF the Russian Jew the most pitiable of any
race on the planet. When q distinguished scientist

Republican Reorganization

More than ever, the Republican factions confront
the necessity of party reunion. Both understand that
the first step to reunion is reconstruction of the
party organization. The next nominating national
convention must be representative OF the Republican
voters and controlled, fro mmeeting to nomination,
by a majority of the delegates they choose.
This is so well understood that the national COM
mittee is said to be practically unanimous in its
determination to call a special national convention
and state committees are also said to be preparing
for a sharp contest for delegates to that convention.
This is understood to mean that the very question
of popular reorganization will be disputed and set.
tied in the convention.
1t now appears that there will be no great oppo.
sition to a proportionate representation of Republican
voters by delegates, even from the rotten boroughs
of the south, as to the substitution of state for ma
tional committee rules and methods Of choosing dele
gates, whether in legal primaries or voluntary con-
ventions. The real contest will be over the question
organization. The old organization wants to leave
this with the national committee The reformers
want to have all contests settled finally in state
committees.
Half measures are rather futile in reforms seri-
ously undertaken. If the Republican factions mean
to make the national convention represent the party
voters, instead of the party organization and the fed
eral administration, they should agree to have con.
tests settled as near as may be to the source. The
most odious thing about national conventions, more
odious even than southern rotten boroughs, has been
the control of the temporary organization, which con-
trOls the permanent organization, by a national COM
mittee that represents only the organization.
With the extension of direct primaries, contests
will be settled by state law and government.-Min-
ncapolis Journal.

Will send time BY
WIRELESS At FORKS

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 13.-The
Radio-electric station of the Univer-
sity of North Dakota at Grand Forks
is now equipped with suitable appar-
atus for receiving the nightly 8
o'clock time signals sent out from the
United States at Washington, D. c..
by wireless. This will make it posi-
BILE to regulate the University master
clock within a seconds variation per
day.
It is proposed that the University
send out daily time signals at Il
o'clock, noon. These time signals are
to be known as the University time,
which will be guaranteed not to vary
more than two seconds per day from
the standard time and which will
probably be correc. to within one sec.
Ond.
The State Jewellers Association Of
North Dakota has been actively inter-
ested in this matter and several mer.-
bers Of that association have already
signifed their intention of taking ad-
vantage of these time signals when
the matter can be arranged.
Owing to the great distance be-
tween Grand Forks and Washington,
the noontime signals from Washing
ton cannot be received here by any
station OF ordinary dimensions. The
value of an accurate daily time sig,
nal is, therefore, apparent.
The university weather report may
be sent out following the time sig.
nal.

Starving Better Than Buvinq

Clearly the only great capitalist in this country
immune from the provisions and penalties of the
Sherman antitrust act is the United States govern
nent. If any other capitalist, with the means and
the Imagination, were to engage in the express 3usi-
ness at a loss, with purpose to destrop all other
capital employed In that business. and gain a monop-
oily in the field, the companies would he able to
make a strong case of unfair competition with jn--
tent to monopolize. Or if any other capitalist. with
unlimited means at his disposal, undertook by the
same tactics to gain a monopoly in the telephone and
telegraph field, the existing companies would have
their case in court. But read as follows from the
news stories sent out of Washington last week TO
feel the public on the administrations latest idea
in proprietorship: (
''"The expense involved in the purchase of pri.
vately owned telegraph lines would be staggering.
THE expense involved in the purchase of
privately owned telegraph lines would be stag
gering. Iut a means out Of the monetary
embarrassment seems to have been suggested
10 those Who favor government ownership BY
The idea that the government, through the
extension of the parcel post system, may ac-
auire the express business of the country
through furnishing competition which the pri-
vate companies will not be able to meet. II
the government is able to get all the express
business on taking off the weight limit of the
parcel post and making rates with which the
express companies cannot compete, why should
not the government get control Of wire COM
munications by acquiring and utilizing long
distance telephone lines to compete with the
telegraph companies? That question puts in a
nutshell the problem that is now being consid-
cred in administration circles"
There would be much more to be said for the
private capitalist seeking by the same means to gain
q monopoly. He would be risking his own capital,
and he might fail. The government cannot fail. Its
advantages are derived from taxation. They are
practically unlimited. At some point the capitalist
would have to get a profit; the government might
monopolize both the express business and the tele-
phone and telegraph field forever at a loss, and make
good the deficit by it's taxing power. That is to say,
it could undertake to destroy private capital, instead
Of buying it out without though of the risk. 1t is
conducting its parcel post business probably at a
loss, and, if not then at the expense of the railroads,
who furnish the transportation for nothing, and have
no recourse but to complain.
The whole scheme is dishonest. And the only
apology for it is that the cost Of buying out the ex.
press, telegraph and telephone companies would be
staggering TO starye them out is cheaper. That
is what the Standard Oil company was convicted of
New York Times.

Not His Property.

After the small boy emerged from
the quick lunch place he opened a
paper bag and revealed club sand
wich. Glancing furtively around, he
lifted off the top slice of bread, took
out a piece of chicken, ate it and re-
placed the bread. A few moments
later he again removed the "lid," ex-
tracted a piece of bacon and repeat
ed this process as he shufled along
Market street until all the bacon was
gone and most of the chicken. A
man who had watched the process
with curiosity, tapped the boy on the
shoulder and inquired:
"Say, kid, why don't you eat your
sandwich instead of picking at it that
way?"
"Dasn't!" replied the youth.
