not far distant when that will be done.

A Citizens Protective league has

ed with the course of the Denver
newspapers. 1t is not chiefly the
squabbles between rival editors that
they object to, though these are un-
seemingly enough, but the practice of
sensational journalism In its worst
forms.
Filth is ladled into Denver homes
by some Of these sheets. They seize
upon every scandal and story of vice
and spread the whole forth in start.
ling and exaggerated reports. Some
of their wild statements about moral
conditions have, by the way, been
quoted by innocent writer's in the east
to prove that woman suffrage in
Colorado Is failure!
The thing has gone so far that a
league has been formed to combat this
public evil. The intention is to keep
up rain Of protests against the pub.
LEGATION of all the revolving details Of
crime, and by combined action to
bring the truth home to yellow edi'
tors that their course is not only Of
fensive to the public sentiment of
their city, but will surely lead to the
withdrawal of public support. Such a
movement is both reproach and an
encouragement to journalism. That
a city should need to organize against
a demoralizing press is shame, but
the fact that it is done, and that the
example may be initiated, gives
ground for hoping that the profession
may soon be freed from these excess
es of nastiness.

The latest reports from the flood
districts in Ohio, are to the effect chat
the list of dead is much less than was
at first reported. but this does not
mean that the want and suffering is
less nor that the activity in raising
funds for the sufferers should cease.
Valley City was a little slow in get

share in sending relief and since al
most every town in the state has con-

think that our state will be amongst

The rank and file of the republican

The rank and file of the republican
party of North Dakota is undoubtedly
progressive in it's policies and ten
denotes, On any real reform meas
ure in which the masses of the peo.
pie are directly interested, this solid
voting strength can be depended upon
to support progressive measures and
candidates who are representative of
such. The leaders or those who be-
come specially active for various rea.
sons seem to prefer to split the party
membership If possible into several
contending factions, for the alleged
purpose of bringing about reform
measures in which all the rank and
file are equally Interested. How this
division of the party strength can &C.
complish anything practical is hard
to see. In fact nothing can be accom-
plished, but defeat, unless the forces
are united, for the democrats will Sc
cure the offices and with them the op~
portunities to put into execution what
ever measures the progressive lead
ers profess to advocate. 1t Is yet too
early to attempt to crystalize the
sentiment regarding the policies Of
reform and political progress which
are discussed in this state. The pres
emit administration has started out
to do what many taxpayers want to
see done, conduct the business Of
the state along economical lines and
prevent the unnecessary expenditure
of public funds. 1t will be we'll to
give the present administration a
fair trial before attempting to throw
it overheard; and whether number
OF the sucalled leaders agree with
that proposition or not, the right
thinking and fair minded tax payers
and citizens win.-Jamestbwn Alert.

The term Domestic Science as ap-

has been in use for many years. Now
that the study OF alD the arts center

jecas in another section the term Do

Arts and Home Economics seem the
broader terms and are used to include
the three large divisions, namely Do.

cooking includes physiology and by

are studied, home nursing and invalid

subjects. plain sewing, dressmaking,
millinery, art, needle work, textile
study, repair and care of clothing:
psychology and hygiene of clothing,

THE WEBB LAW WORKING.

refusing to ship liquor into prohibi-
ton states because Of the Webb law.
The following editorial from the
Nashville Tennessean Will be Of in.
terest to North Dakotans:
Results have already begun to ar
rive from the new Webb law, and
they are Of such nature as to bode
i'll for the liquor interests Of Tennes-
see and other states where there is a
prohibition law.
Steps so far taken have been SINH
lar to the amputation of the dogs tail
just behind the ears.
Express companies are refusing to
accept intoxicating liquor for strip
ment into prohibition territory, pend
ing a decision of the United States
supreme court as to its constitutions
atty. In case the bill is sustained, the
present attitude of the common car:
riers would doubtless be continued.
In Louisville the Southern Express
Co. and the Santa Fee railroad notified
shippers that consignments of intox:
icants for prohibition territory would
be refused until the highest court
was heard from. At jacksonville, Ky,
a dry town, the local express agents
shipped liquor packages back to In.
diana houses, on instructions from
headquarters. In Oklahoma ship.
ments in express offices have been
seized by state officers. but when TIE
express companies generally refuse to
accept liquors destined for prohibis
ton territory there will be nothing
of this kind left for tire state officers,
desperate effort is being made
by Representative Worley to get thr,1
the legislature bill by which Cristol
Tenn, will be allowed to receive liq
uors from outside the state. This is
merely clever scheme of the Liquor
men to entirely nullify the WEBB law
so far as it would protect Tennessee
from the liquor vampires. The stuff
having once gotten legally Into the
state would only have state official:
to contend with. No friend Of the
present prohibition law would for I
moment countenance such scheme
to circumvent the Webb law. Thu
attempt is, moreover, so BALD tina
only whisky legislator would vot'
for such law. No member coul'
claim to have been fooled" into vol
ing for 1t and be credited with hay
ing common sense.
Undoubtedly, the express con
panies are chiefly led to refuse shil
lments Of contraband stuff by the fac
that if it should be seized by stat
and town officers the companies woul
be liable to the shippers for sue
loss; but another reason may be th
fear of losing their charters. Th
Webb law forbids shipments of col
traband liquors into prohibition te
ritory. No state charter can autho
ize the doing of any unlawful thing
: hence the danger of doing an az
which the Webb law says is hereb
,, prohibited"
