VOTE TOO SMALL.

r. is likely that the vote Of the
Proeressiyes IN North Dakota Will
spell the doom of that party. The re-
turns doubtless will not show sufli-
Gent strength to preserve the legal
ity Of the party.
While official returns of the total
Progressive vote is not available, the
increase in the Republican vote over
two years ago shows conclusively that
the "Bull MoOsers" returned in large
numbers to the Republican fold.
It seems very doubtful whether
Aaker will have 1000 votes all told
One is safe in predicting that his vote
will fall very far below the 9,406 re-
ceived by w. D. Sweet. Upon the
face of returns received to date it
seems very dubious whether the Pro-
gressives will secure the required per
centage. s.
In Minnesota, the vote went so 10"
that it is doubtful whether the Pro-
gressive party can participate in the

loopholes. however, in the primary

AN INTERESTING CONTRIBUTION

AN TN IEHcS INlN0 OON nIoo wv"
P. p. Claxton, commissioner of ed
ucatioa, has just issued an interest
ing discussion by Elizabeth Harrison,
A. well known Chicago educator, upon
the. Montessori method, a system OF
educating the child which the educa-
tional world is discussing generally
these days.
For the last decade there has been
considerable specialization in the ed
ucation of the child The contribll-
lions of DR.. Montessori are as import
ant as those of Rousseau and Froebell.
It. is a far cry from Emile to the
Montessori method, although a few
years ago the famous work of Rous-
seau was one of the chief WORKS
studined by pedagognes.
Rousseau broke the arid traditions
of his age and Montessori is performs
inc as valuable service Tor Tie
Twentieth century. Both OF them III
their age have directed attention TO-
ward the rights of child nature. HOW.
ever, DR.. ,Montessori's message IS
backed by practical accomplishments
,vbi,a Rousseau formulated merely a
theory and pointed the way, as II
we're Montessori's CONTINUATION to
education glows with a warmth OIL
feeling toward the child. She under'
stands children; she combines the
nhilosophic with the practical.

REBUkED

1t is interesting and enlightening
also to read the "kaocks," as we'll as
the boosts" The Minot IndepenG-
cnt puts us under oblgatiO for the
following impeachment:
"The Bismarck Tribune, under is
sue of Nov. 5, says:
Doubtless the militant advocates
of Women Suffrage will revive the
issue at the legislature the coming
session, through the endorsement of
al amendment to the constitution.
Such action, while ill-advised, doubt
less is inevitable The issue. how
ever, should be allowed to slumber
awhile and the state given a rest
from further agitation. Now that the
people have spoken, the next legisla-
ture should not mistake the voice OF
a few advocates for that of a major
ity, which has spoken so emphatical'
ly.'
THAT Is one of the funny things
about some newspapers and some
men. They take themselves so seri'
ously. Who but man who did not
believe in Woman Suffrage would
have the temerity to say "NoW that
the people have spoken'-forgettins
the fact that the only people who
have spoken are men, and that not a
woman had a chance at Saying at
all. The sublime egotism! The I'M
mitigated gall! The only words that
we find at all applicable are those
which Job of old, used to his friend
Tophar, the Naamathite, who felt
called upon to venture a little re-
proof; and we would recommend them
to the thoughtful consideration of ou1
friend, the enemy.
"Said Job: No doubt but ye are
the people, and wisdom shall die with
you.'''
We regret that so spirited a rebuke
should be anonymous 1t is unfair to
rob such an excellent retort of its
identity.
However, the Tribune believes that
the voice of the women, as we'll as
the men, spoke at the recent election
upon the wonlan's suffrage issue. May
the day soon come when the women
of the state can be given d special
referendum vote on this issue, 50
that the vox populi will be more EN-
phatically registered.

WILL celebrate Big
Orange DAY IN la.

New Orleans, Nov. Enormous
impetus is now being given citrus
fruit culture in southern Louisiana
and the people of this state will cell
citrate November 10, as Orange Day.
From the early days Of the French
and Spanish occupation southern
Louisiana has produced excellent or
anges, but the industry is only no"
being developed in a large way. Su'
gar lands and the drained hllmus Gov
cred lowlands are being found splen'
ddly adapted to orange culture.
q, The boil weevil and the removal OF
tariff protection on sugar are caus-
| ing some remarkable economic
changes in Louisiana. During gem
erations the cotton farmers of LOU
isiana produced nothing but cotton
and the sugar planters produced
nothing but sugar, each purchasing
meats, food stuffs of all kinds and
general supplies from other states.
| The boil weevil has forced the cotton
farmers into diversified farming and
cattle and stock raising, and they are
finding the new method far more
profitable than the old. The same
thing is true in the sugar belt. w..
Throughout southern Louisiana the
citrus fruit industry is now being rap
idly developed. Many new orange
groves are being set out. In Orleans
Parish single grove of 1900 acres
of oranges, through which there are
so miles of paved highways, is being
developed as a park. A seedless va
riety of Louisiana sweet oranges re,
Gently discovered, has been awarded
the Wilder Pathological medal.
On November 8, the voters of Loui-
siana so amended the state constltu-
ton as to make the laws affecting
investment capital as favorable and
