the PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.

Now that the primaries are over,
and the people have spoken, let all
the animosities Of the campaign be
forgotten. Let the harsh words then
spoken be put aside and all unite to
work for harmony within the ranks Of
the party of Lincoln, Garfield and Nc
Kinley. Let the men who have won the
approval Of the people show that mag
unanimous spirit which the great al
ways possess. Let those who were
not 60 fortunate rs to win the vic
tory at the polls, drop their personal
feelings and work for the solidifying
Of that sentiment which bespeaks the
best and strongest tie that binds those
three great men to the hearts of ev-
cry true patriot. Let us enter the
battle for the party this year with
that high thought expressed in these
words, with malice toward none, and
with charity for all, let US finish the

The best argument that has ever
been put forth for the paving Of the
Bismarck streets was one not made
by man, but sent by the Omnipotent,
The second best argument is the con
dition of the streets as they are today
and have been for several days past.
In a ride about the city, great pit
holes in which the motor would sink
to its axles were frequently encoun-
tered and the crossings were almost
impossible in many places.
This could have been avoided had
the city in the past few years built
sewers with a capacity sufficient to
carry away the surplus rain water.
After the sewers had been built pave
ment and concrete crossings should
have been put down. AS it is now, no
matter where n goes, in a motor,
with horse or af0ot, the streets retard
progress and the entire lower portion
of the city looks to be a great mud
puddle. What will come of it? viii
the conditions be improved so that
In the future the people of the city
can rest secure in the belief that
their property will be protected from
the depredations of rain water, which
has, through the carelessness of some,
no place to run or drain away?

GROWTH OF SUFFRAGE.

The development Of the woman's
movement in Germany carries with
it a remarkable increase in suicides
by women. While the ratio Of sui
cides Of men remained constant dur
ing the twenty years ended with
1912, the number CT women suicides
increased fromS.3 to lO.6 per 100000
of the women population. While
there are doubtless many causes for
the increase, the chief cause is at
tributed to the fact that women have
gone into workshop and factory,
mercantile employments and the pro
fessions, much more extensively than
twenty years ago. They have
%shouldered larger responsibilities
AID have exposed themselves to
greater economic and social dangers.
That the cause is largely an econom-
ic n is evident from the great in
crease of woman suicides a Berlin
where nearly 4S women take their
W lives to every 100 men.

SEARCH o 1

London, June 29.-The search Of
private yachts for rifles and other
war supplies for Ulster, which has
been instituted by the Admiralty, is
not without its humorous side, since
the naval officers commanding the
patrol are the guests of the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club and are permitted
to go ashore for tea and tennis. But
they are not allowed to remain for
dinner, by order Of the First Lord.
The commanders of the searching
parties, board every yacht entering
the port or met on the sea, fraternize
daily with the amateur shippers sus-
pected Of gu1running.
Ever since the report, said to be
false, that 5000 more rifles for the
Ulstermen had been landed recently
from a private yacht in a cove be-
low Belfast, the destroyers patrolling
the Irish Sea have been instructed
by the Admiralty to challenge and
board all private yachts, which, to
accounts, are thoroughly search.

AGAINST MILITANTs.

London, June 29.-Many branches
OF the Independent Labor Party, and
some of the trades unions have pas
sed resolutions against allowing mill
talt suffragettes to speak from So
clalist or Labor Platforms, while
the executive committee of the Ma.
tional Union Of Railwayme1 has de-
cided that women shall not be &C.
copied os members Of that organiz-
alton. This has been resented BY
the sufragettes throughout the coun-
try
The decision against allowing mill.
taats to speak from labor platforms
was dictated by a desire to please
the constitutional suffragists, who
are supporting labor candidates for
the House Of Commons, and to mark
the members disapproval of the &C.
ton OF. the militants IN in%terrupting
labor meetings, despite the fact that
the party supports the movement for
votes for women. This also has had
something to do with the decision Of
the Railwaymen's executive not to
accept women as members.

INTEREST IN oLymPlcs.

The interest that German sporting
are taking in the Olympic
games to be held in Berlin in 1916 is
reflected in a remarkable increase
In the organization Of the turner's.
The annual report Of the national or
ga7ization shows that $50 new clubs
with q membership Of $4,000 Joined
1t in the course of the year. The
general organization now consists
1000 clubs, having a total member
ship Of 1,40O, 900. The turner's are
trying to induce the military author
tiles to prescribe a certain minimum
degree of physical development to
entitle recruits to lighter military
exercises. As a great part of the
military drill, particularly in the
first year, is designed merely to de-
velop physical strength, the turner's
argue that much of this could be
dispensed with in the young mea
who have already made themselves
strong through systematic exercise.
and they believe that the exemptions
asked for would give a great impetus
to their organizations.

MOVING PICTURES.

The moving picture has been turn
ed to account by the army, AID it is
likely that a portion Of the soldiers
rifle range work will hereafter be
done with moving figures for targets.
A test of the new continuance at the
Doeberitz range gave good results,
and the Emperor who witnessed the
tests and himself fired a number of
shots was pleased with the i1aova-
ton. Long rolls of paper replaced
the usual film, and on them appear
marching soldiers, cavaIrymen, artiI-
lery in full gallop, cycle troops and
other moving objects. The instant
a bullet strikes the paper the spot
of impact is brilliantly lighted and
the movement of the continuance Is
arrested for nearly a second, giving
an opportunity to see the full effect
of the shot. 1t is believed that the
invention will not only improve the
soldiers craftsmanship, but will also
prove valuable in training them to
aim and fire rapidly.

STATE E0lToRIAL MEETING.

An opportunity opens for the news
papermen Of the state, at the meeting
to be held at Valley City, July 10 and
II. to take up and plan for laws which
viii work for their benefit and settle
many Of the questions which now
cause considerable friction between
them and the legal fraternity. "A point
that should be clearly understood and
q policy settled upon, is the charges
for publication of chattel mortgage
notices Of foreclosure. At present
there are two methods of looking af-
ter that matter. One group of news.
paper publishers maintain that the
recent legislation makes all publica.
tons fall under the seven cents a line
law. Another group hold that only
three dollars can be charged, no mat
ter whether the publication covered
ten dollars space or whether it could
be published for 81. Both have many
lawyers to back them, and through the
willingness Of some to take advan.
tage Of the doubtful wording of the
law. the newspaper men of the state
are losing many hundreds of dollars
annually. This should receive proper
attention and q committee be appoint
ed to DO what is required to secure a
and equitable adjustment of
perplexing question.
