CIVILIZED WARFARE"

At time when the world seems
full of wars and the rumors Of wars
some interest attached to the prog
ress man has made in regulating
statewide homicide, even II he can't
prevent it, and the dove Of peace has
the dilapidated appearance of a young
Shanghai rooster. And some progress
has been made, despite the fact that
General Sherman's definition still
stands. In the good old days, very
long ago, it was regarded ~ COED
form to slaughter all Of a vanquish-
ed foe, including the women and
children. That seemed to be an ef-
fective method of settling the dispute.
But man advanced slightly in civil
ization, il not in mercy, and longed
for the luvury which slaves might
best supply. After which captives
we're taken and used as slaves, and
sold as such. That, Of course, has
long since become passe among the
powers. Low-browed countries like
Mexico continue to pull rough stuff
not permitted by the rules and ar
ticles of war; SO do the Balkan coun-
tries, if reports Of the recent wars
are half true, but they are also crude.
Generally speaking, great war will
keep somewhere near the bounds Of
the rules prescribed by the confer
ence of nations. and these preclude
many methods which used 10 be popu-
Ter. 1t is no longer good form to poi
son wells or food supplies, to dunn
dunn bullets, or hack up the wound
ed. Each side is required to care for
the wounded of the other, should the
shifting tide of battle remove the
wounded from their friends. As much
as possible, non-combatants are re-
spected as such, and citizens Of an
invaded country spared from bar
barities and indignities. LoetinGs y
not allowed, except such foraging ~
may be necessary to obtain food and
fuel. These rules will be frequently
violated; they always are, but in the
main they will be observed, and re-
move much of the horror Of war. On
the other hand, added horrors are
provided by long range guns and high
explosives and aeroplanes and RAPID
fire weapons and all the other draAd
md acvilish devices man in his high
intelligence has added to the imPss-
ments of war. Again, science has
helped by antiseptics, improved sur
gerry and q knowledge Of sanitation

THE VIEWS OF A DEMOCRAT.

One of the best speeches made at
the recent Republican state assembly
in Denver was made by the veteran
editor of the Boulder Camera, l.. c,
Paddock, a lifelong Democrat.
Mr.. Paddock has forsaken the
Democratic party in Colorado this
year because of its failure to uphold
the governor in his stand for law and
order and or it's further failure to
make any reference in resolutions or
platform, to the vital issues which
confront the people of this state.
Mr.. Paddock was delegate in the
convention of his fellow-townsman,
A. A. Reed, and when called to the
platform told a few straight truths
regarding the attitude of his fellow
Democrats, or rather Democratic
bosses who are at present in control
of that party.
Mr.. Paddock said:
When the controversy arose in
Boulder county and other parts
of the state to put down armed
insurrection. my prophetic soul
told me that it was only to the
Republican party that l coud look
for Straightforward. out-and-
out declaration for law and or
der to uphold the honor and dig
nifty Of the state. Events since
that time have fully justified my
bOlief.
The views Of Editor Paddock, and
the position taken by him, will un-
doubtedly find an Endorsement in the
minds of thousands Of Democratic
voters upon election day. The Demo-
cratic party has made its rosition
clear aAd It should be opposed by ev-
cry citizen Of this state who believes

FARMER DRINKS ACID;
DRUGGIST ARRESTED

Napoleon, Nov. This city was
thrown into a state Of excitement by
the announcement that Christ Nord,
ST., n Of our highly respected farm.
ers, had been poisoned by drinking
carbolic acid, while i'm the rear room
Of the drug store conducted by Lar
sen & Drews.
MIR. Nord, with his wife, had come
in from his farm a short distance east
OF Napoleon, to do some shopping,
and about five o'clock he went into
the drug store and shortly afterwards
he was taken to the offices of DR..
Mathews, adjoining the drug store,
suffering from the effects OF carbOlic
acid poisoning.
Everything possible was done to
save the life of the old gentleman, at.
ter which he was removed to the no.
tel and about II o'clock he passed
away.
He was in an unconscious state up
to within a short time before his
death, when he regained conscious
ness and cOnversed with those who
were at his bedside.
From his son, Peter, it is learned
that just before the end came Mr..
Nord told how he happened to drink
the poison, stating that he was not
feeling very we'll and cent into the
drug store to get something to relieve
his distress and that Druggist Larsen
mixed him up some medicine, which
contained the carbolic acid which he
drank.

wOMAN'S Club DOING
WORK At MAYV|LLE

Mayville, N. d., Nov. THE Wo
mans Club of Mayville is perhaps one
CT the most active in the state in the
matter Of city betterment. 1t has
undertaken and carried out success
fully municipal improvements. 1t
not only attempts to raise money but
raises it. 1t starts a swat the fly"
campaign land then takes steps to see
that fewer flies come after swatting.
1t beautified the city park and
changed the Great Northern right Of
way from a dump ground for all old
machinery into a beautiful stretch of
green lawn with paths and flower
beds. 1t carried to a successful con.
clusion a program of home gardening
for the Mayville public school chill
dren, including the distribution Of
suitable prizes. This last spring the
club needed money and decided that
a good plan for raising it would be
for each member to start with a cap
ital of Is cents, using the capital
until this fall and then turning into
the treasury the net proceeds of the
investment. TO be said was to be
done by the members, and various
have been the methods of increasing
the amount. The reports given at an
open meeting held last Saturday
evening revealed that there had been
earned in all over $50. The individ-
ual amounts ranged from 81 to $14.
This meeting was a Halloween
party to which each member was priv
LEGGED to invite one guest. Through
this privilege several of the husbands
were present and learned of the finan,
cial ability Of their wives. 1t will not
be at all surprising if the duty of
providing for the family is in some
cases shifted from the father to the
mother, since she has demonstrated
that she has the greater ability of tn,
two. This will be done for not other
than an economic reason.
The party was a very enjoyable &C.
casicn and the appetizing supper
served the guests added to the Joy of
the evening. The club is a live or
ganization and has the support of all
citizens in the town.
