: Governor Baldwin announces that
ton of the sentence OF death passed
upon Mrs. Wakefield, the Connecticut
woman convicted with James Plew of
the murder Of her husband. Accord
ing to Plew's confession her part in
the conspiracy was taking her three
children for a walk while Plew shot
the father. From the testimony ana
her own admissions there was no
question of her guilt. No oma has
been hanged in Connecticut since
1856, and regardless Of the sordid and
callous details Of the crime there Is a
be no more.
Women have been hanged, of course,
but in these latter days when the ad-
visibility of capital punishment is
questioned, the execution of a. woman
would be regarded with horror. The
hanging of women belongs back in the
ages when prisons were dungeons and
the gibbet swung its CHASTITY burden
at the crossroads. Many believe that
the. execution of men is no less a sur
Vival of more barbarous times and
that capital punishment as a deter
rent has been proved fallacious. But
most will agree, it is believed, that
Governor Baldwin should find a way
10 avoid the hanging of this woman
and save the state from a relapse to
the Connecticut of 1911 years ago.

a way as to prevent the state from
giving to individuals special privileges
and ~monopolies, and that it has no ap-
splication whatever to any law which
has for its object the proper regUla-

and control be accomplished through
the instrumentality OF a department

Furthermore, he stated, that the
business in question, namely, he bust
ness of underwriting the bonds of
public officials for profit is not a bust
ness in which any one has a vested
right, for the reason that, the legis-.
Iature created the business by requlr-
ing bonds to be given and it is free
to take away what it had the power
to create. The legislature having the
power to require public officials to serve
without bonds has ample power to
regulate the character of the bond
given and how the risks shall be borne
by municipalities.

MEAT INJURIOUS

We are a nation of meat eaters and

q Well-known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against

The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but

get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained In
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps Of lead, and you have

FUTURE WHEAT SUPPLIES.

Recent Developments in the inter-
national wheat situation have tuned
the attention Of the trade from the
immediate consideration Of supplies to
future prospects," says The Minneap-
oils Tribune. importers have found
it easy to buy wheat the last two or
three months and at exceptionally low
prices, owing to the necessity of the,
Canadian northwest to cash in on its
liberal crop as rapidly as possible.
FsWhile the statistics disclose ample
reserves of wheat in the United States
and Canada and fair stocks in other
countries, the unfavorable crop deyel-
,op11ent in Argentina and the impaired
prospects in India have had the effect
of Tightening the offerings from sur,
plus sources n forcing stronger
prices in the international market.
The problem of. the future tendency is
largely bound up in the outcome Of
the harvest in the South American,
county, but not entirely, although all

whatever strength there is in the
market.

nations are absorbing wheat freely
each week without accommodating much
in the way of reserves, notwithstand-
ing that wheat has been depressed by
the heavy Canadian offerings to a
bargain basis. With the passing of
the weightiest pressure from the sur
plus countries of the northern hemi-
sphere and the outcome Of the Argen-
tine harvest, the most important OF
the contributors from south Of the
equator, promising only an average
crop at the best, there is some assur-
ance that the consumption require

FARGo's GROWTH SHOWN.

! One Of the most significant state
jments published in The Forum re-
!cently was the one last evening re
Harding the increase in the sale OF
stamps at the postoffice. In ten years
fthc sale of stamps has almost tripled.
bFhe Fargo p~ostofice business has
Preached such proportions that it has
tcntirely outgrOwn the present quar-
tiers and additional room is imperative.
so great is the need for room. that
the local postal officials are urging
that the Fargo federal building be re-
Igarded as an emergency case and that
1.-The postof1ce authorities send a man
here at once to look over the sites
that have been offered.
There is no better criterion Of the
growth of a city than the sale of
stamps at it's postoffice. Stamp sales
are sure and certain indications Of the
business transacted, and Fargo can
take pride in the fact that it's business
lis in a splendid condition OF prosper
ious growth, as shown by this big in-
Erease in sales.
The Fargo Office is one of the most
important in the west. All the sup
piles for several northwestern states
are shipped to Fargo and reshipped to
the other offices Of the "district". This
causes a larger amount Of business to
bc transacted in the local office, than
bn the ordinary p~ostof1ce of a town Of
this size. But the stamp sales indi4
hate purely the local business and are
therefore a legitimate standard in
gauging the prosperity and growth Of

n o SCOUTS.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: A man had
a horse and it was young and 1T would
not stand for him. So he asked me
If. 1 would please get him his mail, so
I did. .,.
There was a boy and he had to get
out of a. wagon to take the bars down;
it was raining hard, so I took them
down for him.
I get a mans paper for him every
morning.
l filled my mothers wood box, for
it was baking day.
My grandmother lost her glasses
and I found them.
1 led a blind man to his house.
There was a cat in a steel trap and
l went and let him out.
I saw a dog that was hungry and
fed him.
I buttoned Mary's dress because
mamma was busy.
The Boy Scouts of America are
pledged to do a good turn daily" and
the foregoing are k from scout
masters reports as made in the langu-
age of the boys themselves. Little
things? Oh, yes,, but some Of the lit
tie things that explain how it Is that
in three years the Boy Scouts have
grown to an army or more than 900, 900
boys with 1000 scout masters that has
broken down every barrier Of race and
sect and caste. ..
OF course there are other ."little
things that the Boy Scouts do. It
wouldn't be possible to interest $780,
600 boys in %buttoning Mary's dress
and filling the wood box and guiding
a blind man and getting a mans paper
for him-if such things were all there
were to the Boy Scout movement.
This is the appeal to the political good
citizen in the boy. -.
There is also in the boy the latent
savage just as there is in every
grown mar. Therefore the Boy Scouts
hike camp and explore and map the
wigwag and build fires by rubbing
two sticks and extend first aid to the
injured and rush into action and ad-
venture whenever opportunity offers.
If there was ever a boy who didn't
play Indian and have an ambition to
light a fire by friction-well, he wasn't
much OF a boy; that's all. And we all
know it. Adventures! 1t appeals to
every boy worth raising.
The secret of the Boy Scout move
ment Is that 1t appeals to the dual ma
ture Of the boy. He, would rather be
good than bad, but he's going to yield
respect to the holder and ADLER boy
who leads; no matter in what respect.
And he's going to keep busy, for he's
got to let off steam in some way.
Say don't" to a boy and he goes
and does that very thing. It's boy ma
ture. There are no "don'ts' in the
scout law. Everything is, affirmative.
A Boy Scout is loyal, helpful, friendly,
courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful,
thrifty, brave. He stands for a clean
speech, sport and habits. These are
the scout laws and he promises to
obey them and does his best to keep
his promise. :.
Thus, while the movement is doing
wonders in inducing the Boy Scout to
be clean in body and thought, to stand
for clean speech, clean sport and clean

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
WELL-kNoWN LOCAL DRUGGIST
SAYS EVERYBODY is USING
j.. oLD.TIME RECIPE OF SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR.

-f -=
Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
l~ifeless, Is caused by q lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up 81 mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands Of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is SO att
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a so cent bottle of 'sWyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy which dark
ems the hair SO naturally, SO evenly,
that nobody IAN possibly tell 1T has
been applied. Besides, 1t takes off
dandruff, stops scalp itching and
failing hair. You Just dampen q sponge
or soft brush with 1T and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning The
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that. besides beauti-
fully Gardening the hair after al few
applications, 1t also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives II an ap-
pearance OF abundance. --Advt.

THANKSGIVING.

o God of all, to Thee I bring
A song OF thanks and praise;
Not for the joys that in me sing,
Or life in pleasant ways:
Not for Thy mercies manifold, .
Not for Thy owe divine.
For these the race doth have and hold
And in Its thanks is mine.
Not for the million stars that fling
Their beams when night lis long;
They make the earth a filter thing
For Thee to look upon,
The tiny flowers that nod and dance
The gems that burn and shine,
But tell Thy pomp and circumstance;
Not praise but wonde mine.
But Thou hast fashioned for my hand
Work not to be gainsaid:
And Thou hast given me strength to
stand ~
Chin high and unafraid:
And in my small appointed place
] hold Thy watch and ward;
For this by Thy great saving grace
Accept my thanks. 0 Lord.

Justice Hughes Presidential Boom.

Justice Hughes Presidential Boom,
Washington Star: 1t is under
stood that Judge Hughes is content
ed where he is, likes his duties, and
certainly is discharging them to the
satisfaction of the country. Mr.. Taft
while president made no appoint
ment that was more generally ap-
plauded than hat Of this finely equip
ped lawyer to the supreme bench.
For this reason Judge Hughes may
take small interest in the current com
ment about himself. He cannot be in
sensible to the lure of the White
House, but he knows that the road
thither Is rocky, and thai some adj
mirably equipped pilgrims have failed
to reach goal.
The speculation is interesting never
tneless. as showing, for one thing that

as it Is is not without assets as to the
leadership. Judge Hughes has many
elements Of strength. And there are
others.
