A BEACON FOR THE BLIND.


Few who %patronize daily the postal
savings banks and the parcels post
realize that both Of these modern
conveniences are children of a blind
mans brain. Henry Fawcett, once
postmaster general Of England, evolv.
ed the idea and the system grew and
was tested, in Europe long before
United States awoke to the splendid
opportunities for serving the public
through this medium.
There are possibly fewer striking
examples where a man rose above the
handicap of blindness and adverse
conditions that in the case of FaW-
cett, originator of the parcels post.
He was c%aricatured and fun poked
at him from a subsidized press, but
he stood fast and soon committed the
government to schemes of serving
the people through the mails.
How the idea has grown modern
statistics show. The parcels post is
in it's infancy in the United States,
but already it has saved the public
money and time and has brought the
consumer in closer touch with the
producer.

PARTY LOYALTY.

Bryan, for the next ten days, will
be treading the devious ways of pol.
itics. The Commoner may find it
necessary to view his convictions
through smoked glasses while he
stands forth in the binding light OF
party fealty.
In Minnesota and Ohio, he will
stump for the nominees representing
the saloon element. Indiana Demo
Gratis, backed by the Taggart ma
chine, have the cooperation of the
Peerless One. Recently President
Wilson wrote a letter in favor of Sen.
ator Shively, but he was silent upon
some Of the Taggart henchmen.

M AS POLICE.

A Women's Volunteer Police Force,
founded by suffragists, is drilling
daily for duty in London. They call
themselves the Women Police Volun-
teers, and are an offshoot of the Wo-
mems Freedom League, of which Mrs.
Despard, a sister of Sir John French,
is the head. When they are
ready for active service they will get
a fetching uniform to give them 4
semi-official status. A navy blue
serge costume of a smart military
cut, with a hard felt hat like a bowl
er, with a fiat brim and a belt, will
make up the outfit. Brass letters,
"W. V. P" on the shoulder strap, a
metal badge on the front of-the hat,
and special badges, denoting the duty
division, such as "P" for Park, and
number of the constable on the col
lar, and such necessary implements
as frst-aid appliances, including
smelling salts (for cases, not for the
policewomen), police whistles, dis
trict map, and pocket torches, will
complete the equipment.
The new policewomen are already
hard at work learning jiu-jitsu, for
self-defense, police drill, signaling,
police court procedure, and first ard.
Every woman so far enrolled has had
to pass a medical examination as to
physical fitness, and care has been
taken only to accept those otherwise
qualified to undertake this new re-
sponsibility.
The present headquarters are at
Westminster, and local stations are
to be established in various parts OF
the metropolis. Other forces are to
be formed in the provinces, and one
has already been started in Scotland
The minimum duty will be two hours
a day, and the maximum eight. The
women will work in the streets,
parks, railroad depots, and police
courts, but at present will do no pa
trolling on regular beats. Their chief
work will be to look after the inter-
ests of children, and they will COOP
crate with the policemen. Though
they have no official recognition
their movement has official sympa-
thy. The chief aim Of its promoters
is to show the government the value
of a women's police force and to get
a permanent state force established.
The present movement, though be-
gun by suffragists, is being kept apart
from any suggestion of the suffrag'
list cause, and is being run as a strict
lv non-narty body,

Halvor Halvorson has addressed
the following letter to P. D. Norton:

Hon. Patrick D. Norton,

Dear Sir: H.
Under date of October 9Th in the
Grand Forks Herald, appears an in.
teryiew under the head Of "War Saw
ing Grace for Democratic Party, In
sists Congressman Norton" In the
interview you in effect state that the
Democratic program Of legislation in

Payne-Aldrich tariff bilkai;s4heanew cur,

districts, and others1R91slatf0n in &C
cordance with the Democratic plat
form, have all been enacted in oppo-
sition to the interest of the farmer
and producer. You state that the Un-
derwood tariff bill has dealt a hard
blow" ito the country.
1t being almost universally believed
W Lllc pCOpIS " tlAAS IAAu CoAA6ASo
sional district that wilson's admins
tration has been most highly satisfac-
tory, so much comment has come to
my notice as to your stand-your opin-
ion being utterly at war with both
public opinion and the press OF the
country-that ! deemed it best to ask
you to meet me in a discussion Of the
issue raised by your Grand Forks in"
Ierview.
AS you know, l am the candidate
for congress in this district on the
Democratic ticket; a supporter OF
President Wilson, and of his legisla-
ton, and I take this opportunity to
ask you to meet me in public debate
covering the matters referred ito in
this article, and would suggest that
such discussion be had at Mandan'
Dickinson, Williston and Minot, at
such time long enough prior to cleo
ton, so that the people of the district
can have opportunity to be present
at these argumentst or at least learn
of what took place under them before
the election pASNoyember Bird. The
debate to be3gaShsthesissue you raise
as to whether Vi not Wilson has%giv
en- this country, and the farmer and
producer of this country, a good ad'
mi%nistration; or, if, as you say, he
has given them an administration
which would have resulted in a panic
hard times, and idle men, but for the
European war.
These sentiments are SO adverse To
the general knowledge Of the people
of this state as to conditions, that
cannot allow your interview to go un,
challenged.
AS to the time Of these discussions
l am willing to meet all dates during
the week beginning October 26th, tina
you may name for these cities.
Very truly yours,
HAIVOR l.. HALVORSON.

OUR BEST

Bismarck was host yesterday to
the travelling men-the best boosters
we have. They have done much to
put the city on the map and the cor
dial reception accorded them showed
that the citizens are awake to their
enterprise.
This city is a great trade center
and the ENJOYS who carry it's products
as well as those of other centers dis
tributed from here, gave the Exposi.
ton a fitting climax. Bismarck can
afford to deal generously with its
travelling men. They are a progress
sive class of men and have the best
interests of~the city always at heart,

again the adage that politics makes
strange bedfellows.
But what of McGovern, who sup
ported Roosevelt in the memorable
campaign OF 1912? He is a candidate
for United States Senator of the reg
ular Republicans, the head of whose
ticket LaFollette and Roosevelt are
opposing.
Political wires are badly crossed in

did not want to fight again until early
in October Coffroth wants to stage
the White .Ritchie contest early in Sep.
tember, and he believes that Ritchie

beer around the brewery attracted the

prominent Salemite, who has frontage

received here from Washington today
declared that the German cruiser LeiD.
sic, whose whereabouts had been un-
known here for several days, was at
Mazatlan harbor, on the west coast of
Mexico, where the Mexican federals and
constitutionalists have been fighting
fiercely.
What the Leipsic was doing there was
a matter of conjecture here. 1t had
been supposed that the warship and the
German cruiser Nuremberg were to-
gether, waiting for a caance to seize
the British sloops of war, Shearwater
and Algerine. The Shearwater left this
port in a hurry last week, and was said
to have gone south to seek refuge in
