Pollock Writes
OF Convention

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 17.-Harmony of
thought and inspiration Of purpose
were the dominant features of the ma
ti0nal convention of the Antitsaloon
League just closed at Columbus, o.,
according to letters received by friends
from Judge G. A. Pollock, who is stop
ping off for a short visit with relatives
in Iowa on his way home from the
gathering. In the absence Of the presi-
dent, Bishop Wilson, Judge Pollock,
as vice-president, presided at the ses'
sions.
Owing to the fact that they repre-
sent a saloonless state, the North
Dakota delegation was center Of in
terest and the addresses by these
delegates were followed with the clos
est attention. According to reports
the utterances of Governor Hanna, en-
dorsing prohibition and woman's suf-
rage brought him an ovation.
Three past candidates for president
on the Prohibition ticket were present
and took part in the proceedings.
When Congressman Hobson was in
troduced the convention went wild
with enthusiasm and the applause was
deafening. This convention is be-
lieyed to be an important event in the
nght against the saloon to be far
reaching in its effect.

Peter Slingsby of Williston may fall
heir to a part of the famous Slingsby
estate of England. His father, who
died several years ago, came to Can
ada when the children were very small
and who later came to Williston to
reside, always told his son that there
was money in England which would
be his some day. The litigation over
the famous Slingsby baby case has
again opened and If it can be estab-
lished tht it was a case of substitu-
ton, as the England lawyers are try
ing to prove, the $4,000 income
which now goes to Lieutenant Sings

branch of the family. -.

Currency Bill Good

LOCAL BANKER SEES GENERAL
BENEFIT IF PASSED IN PRES
EMIT FORM.

St. Paul, Nov. 14.-"If the currency
bill as proposed by President Wilson
passes the country generally will be
benefited" said James J. Farley, pres
ident of the Bank of Valley City, Val
ley City, N. D., today, while calling on
D. S. Culver, president of the Mer-
chants National bank.
'"rhe bill is far from what it should
be-" continued Mr.. Farley, "and some
very important amendments are neces-
sary to make it fairly satisfactory, but
there is such an element Of strength
in it that I believe it would do more
good than harm.
''H the bill passes in its present
form l think a number Of national
banks in our part Of the country might
liquitiate and take out state charters
but this is not certain. Say they do
lia,lidate and take out state charters,
who is hurt and how greatly is the sit
uation changed?
TT is my opinion that bank is TAR
better OF operating under q state
charter than under a national one.
This, Ithtnt, is true because the state
laws are passed to answer tho needs
Of the people Of that state, while the
national laws put all banks IN all
states, regardless Of conditions, on the
Same basis."

The failure to obtain quorum is
attributed to the absence Of the Ca

Ell Paso, Nov. II. - For the sixth
time in the last three years Ciudad
Jharez changed governments when
1000 rebels, led by General Pancho
Villa, attacked and captured the town
between 2::30 and o'clock today.
Taken completely by surprise the fed
e'al garrison of about 400 men put
up a weak resistance.
So unprepared were the feSerais
that Villas troops actually rached
the center Of the town before u sim
s'e 80, was fired
Although an accurate count is not
completed, it is estimated that 40 per-
sons were killed in the fighting. The
rebels lost 5, the federals 80 and four
or 5 noncompliance were killed.
Among them was Charles Seggerson
of Ell Paso, an automobile driver who
was on the main street Of Juarez in
an automobile.
"No looting," was the order given
by Villa, and after the town surren-
dered, not a single case Of theft was
reported The rebels took 125 pris
Oners. A.
General Francisco Castro, comman-
der of the Juarez garrison, is among
the missing. It is the general opin-
ion that he escaped. Not a trace Of
his body was found.

Men have greater physical en-
durance than women. Yet any
doctor will tell you which bears
pain better, a man or a woman.
Let man get toothache, or a
headache, and he bowls to heaven
about it and wants doctors and
trained nurses and everybody in
the family to be on the jump
waiting on him, while there are
thousands and thousands of
women who never draw breath
that isn't fraught with pain and
who go uncomplainingly about
their daily duties without even

Undoubtedly Men Have
Shown More Genius
Than Women.

Men are drawer than women.
There are even women who are
afraid of mice, but every woman
who bears a child goes smilingly
forth to look into the face of
death by torture. Only the excep-
tional man ever has his courage
put to the test that practically
every woman experiences, and
when he doesn't finch they call
him a hero, but woman's courage
is so common that we never no.
tice It.
And women have far more
moral courage than men. Men
are afraid of shame, of ridicule,
of having the finger of scorn
pointed at them. A man turns a
disgraced daughter out of doors.
He divorces a drunken wife. but
a woman stands by her own no
matter how low they fall. 1t is
women. and not men, who are
waiting outside of the peniten-
tiary doors to take the freed con-
Wet home.
Men are the financiers of the
world, but the average woman
can make dollar go twice as far
as a man can when it comes to
spending, and in those families

where the wife is the cashier you
will nearly always find prosperi-
ty. 1t is also notable that in a
business where both men and
women are employed, although
the women receive a smaller sal
airy than the men, they will have
little bank account, and the
men be borrowing money.
Men have better health, as a
rule, than women do, yet when
the head of big firm which en-
ployed both male and female la
Dor was asked If he did not find
that the women lost lot of time
on account of sickness, replied:
mot so much as the men do from
drunkenness"
A man is the official head of the
family, yet 1t is men who desert
their little children and leave
them to starve. It is men who
commit suicide when life gets
over hard. You hardly ever hear
of woman abandoning her help
less little children to the cold
mercy of the world.
Undoubtedly men have displayed
more genius than women. They
have written the big books, paint
ed the great pictures. made the
marvellous inventions, yet what
man has ever done anything so
wonderful as the creation Of a
man? A woman does that. Great
men seldom beget great sons, but
every great man has had a great
mother
And so you might argue the
question endlessly as to which is
the superior, man or woman. It
is, in reality, personal question.
Some men are superior to some
women, and some women are su-
perior to some men. But they av-
erage up about the same per-
centage of wisdom and folly, of
weakness and strength, of nobil-
ity and meanness. If it is any
pleasure to man TO think he is
superior TO his wife, let him en-
joy 1t. She, and generally the
neighbors, know better

is woman's superior in at least
one quality-vanity. They have
found out that the easiest way to
work a man is to sit at his feet
and watt him hot air, and tell him
how big, and wise, and strong.
and handsome he is and what a
poor, miserable worm OF the dust
a mere female Is.
It Is these cheerful workers
among women, aided and abetted
by the fact that the law gives
man the right to rule over wom-
en-, and until lately has given him
also her property, that has fos-
tered mans belief in his superior
ity to woman.
But why, goodness only knows.
because II is woman who takes
care OF man ut every stage Of the
game, from the time when she
washes out his little eyes when
he's born, to the day when she
closes them in death And all be-
tween times she helps him, she
braces him up. she tugs him into
the right path, and keeps him go
ing. Many a big and successful
man is really little inferior man
made by a superior woman.
OF course. men are superior TO
women in certain respects. A
man, for instance, Is stronger
than a woman. He has bigger
bones. more muscle. The average
man can lift his wife with one
hand But it Is the woman who
stands an eighteen hour workday,
devoted to the most monotonous
labor on earth, strain under
which any man would break
down, or take 10 drink.
It is the weak mother who can
nurse a fretful, teething baby
month after month. who can be
up with it half the night, and in
times of sickness hold 1t in her
arms for a week at time with
