state legislature, with a good deal of
desperate opposition and flibustering
from those who don't want to obey the
ten commandments, most of us feel
That h matter is settled. But, as
William Allen White indicates, the
matter is not settled. The trouble has
just begun. 1t does no good Just to
engrave laws on imitation ~sheepskin,
or print them in law books, except to
give the lawyers a chance to dig them
UP in later years and use them in cas- i.
es to which they were never meant to
apply. Laws are not alive until they
are written in the hearts of the reo-
pie,
This principle has a far wider april
cation, of course, than William Allen
White made of it in his article, which
was confined to the subject of prohi-
bition in Kansas. The fact is thai in
all matters of moral progress we have
absolute democracy, for the evident
reason that no delegated officials can
legislate a peoples morality up or
down or sideways; and no force of DO
lice, however numerous, and no jails,
hoWeVer strong, can drive morality
either in or out. That result has to
be attained by a process of education.
1t never comes about in a moment, or
a day, or a year, though the under
ground processes or many years may
burst gu into sight in a day, lust as
rivers in some parts of the world flow
out full-groWn from under the earth.
Painful as it may be, there must be
some actual thinking on the part of
us all, some acquisitions of new ideas,
at the sacrifice of old and well-belov-
ed ones, before there is moral prog
ress. There is no other way. This is
the lesson of tolerance. We cannot
bludgeon people or hate people into
agreeing with use They are not really
amenable to any law, no matter what
we do to them, until they are persuad-
ed, and persuasion is not a simple
matter of getting the police on our
side.

Very Good Bait.

A certain bishop was recently q

two charming daughters. One morn

wagon had quite an exciting runaway,
which resulted in the wagon being
broken up quite badly and laundry be-
ing distributed all over the street For

put a new bronco on the wagon, which
was the cause for the runaway.

DIVORCE CASE ON
IN DISTRICT COURT

The divorce case of Mrs. Frank
Tawlitschek against her husband, was
started in the district court this morn
ing with Judge C.. A. Nye on the bench.
A large number of witnesses have been
called in this case and the court was
busy all morning and UP to the time of
going to press. From indications it is
probable that the case may have to be
continued over until tomorrow before
all the witnesses can be examined.
The litigants in the case live on a
farm near Muskoda. The petition for
divorce vas filed by Mrs. Tawlitschek
in July. She alleges cruelty as one of
the grounds on which she expects to
secure a decree annulling the marriage.

Minneapolis. Aug. 17.-Wheat: Mar
ket showed more resistance today al
though the local market was compare
lively weaker. This Is due perhaps to
the shadow impending spring wheat
hedges. On the whole, we do not be-
lieve that the situation can be con-
strued in a very bearish light. While
1t is true that cessation of exports may
cause a temporarily lower market, yet
II must be apparent to all that when
the export business is renewed it will
be on alarger scale than ever. The
trade on the whole realizes this fact,
and 1t is inclined to wait until the sit
uation clears n then AXE the buying
side rather than attempt to follow the
declines down with short sales. On the
bias of the domestic situation, the
wheat market Is probably high enough,
but In former years the trade has been
to expect a big advance in
wheat prices whenever there was talk
OF a Balkan war, and now we have all
OF the European countries involved In
the greatest war that they have seen
since Napoleon, n 1t is going to be a
hard matter to make the average trad
er believe that this is a bear argument
