Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Peterson, editor

Erasemus Froelich autoed down from
Dickinson Saturday and spent the
afternoon attending to business mat
tiers here.
The following statement was re-
ceived at the Gladstone station from
Supt. T. H. Lantry at Glendive and
they wish to make it known to the
publ: "In connection with the pres
emit eight-hour day movement, many
think cutting off the train and engine
mems working day to eight hours
would mean corresponding reduction
in pay. This belief is erroneous.
The fact is men demanding the eight
hour day expect to receive the same
pay they are now getting for ten
hours work. This would involve a
20 per cent reduction in working
hours without any change in compen-
sation."

reading public is more or less tickle.
If the people themselves displayed
more initiative where reforms are
necessary, they would find the news
papers more active than they are
today in fighting evils menacing the
country. The people should be the
real leaders, or there should be among
them real leaders. So long as they
are acquiescent, dis~interested, apa-
thetic, giving no sign whatever of
their desires, newspapers have no
warrant to tell them what they shall
do or when and how to do it, further
than to suggest and recommend.
Newspapers can lead in thought to
this extent, but cannot lead in action
to any extent.
1t is significant that the muckrak-
ing newspapers of ten years ago
have lost materially in circulation,
while conservative newspapers, lead
ing in thought only, have as materi-
ally increased their circulation. The
people themselves turned these tables
and, as newspapers must be sold in
order to be published, the answer is
plain. Therefore, in view of the evils
that now menace this country, the
people should look to themselves for
leadership, assured that as they act
rightly they will get all newspaper
support they need.

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin>
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, %irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny ~nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

DEPENDING ON NEWSPAPERS

Ever since undertaking newspapers
assumed leadership in reform, the
general public has depended upon the
press to discover and apply remedies
for all the ills the country is heir to-.
This dependence on newspapers has
resulted in little initiative on the part
of the people themselves, and gradu-
ally less on the part of the news
papers, because not always given pop
ular support. Newspapers r not
philanthropists to the extent that
they are willing to sacrifice their fl
nancial interests merely to gain mo-
mentary popularity. The newspaper

HOSPITALITY IN SYRIA.
A Custom That May Have a Bearing
on PASSAGE In Scripture.

A Custom That May Have Bearing
on Passage In Scripture.
Approaching his hoped for guest, a
Syrian engages him in something like
the following dialogue, characterized
by glow Of feeling which the transla
ton can only family reveal:
"Ennoble us by your presence
II would be ennobled. but 1 cannot
accept"
"That cannot be-"
yea, yea. it must be-"
"No, l swear against you by our
friendship and by the life of God. I
love just to acquaint you with my
bread and salt"
II swear also that I find it impossible
to accept Your bread and salt are
known to all"
"Yea, do it just for our own good By
coming to us you come to your own
home. Let us repay your bounty to
us
"ASta"hfero Allah by the mercy of
Cod | have not bestowed any bounty
upon YOU worth mentioning"
Here the host ~"iZes his guest by the
arm and with an emphatic, II will not
let you 90" pulls at him and would
drag him bodily into his house. Then
the guest, happy in being vanQuished
with honor consents to the invita-
ton.
Do you now understand fully the
meaning of the passage in the four
teenth chapter of Luke's gospel? "a
certain man made great supper, and
babe many. and they all with
one consent began to make excuse.
And the Lord said unto the serv-
ant. GO out into the highways and
hedges. and compel them to come in,
that my house may be filed "-Abra-

lishmen gave chase and caught the
principal offenders. The eldest was
asked why he had thrown stones.
"Hurriet var" was the reply.
There's liberty. We can do what we

The Englishman replied, "Hurriet

One of the boys said yes, he supposed
that would be so, but he hoped the
liberty would not be used The Eng

repeated he would use it to the fullest

Of wages.
"But why"' asked the owner.
Because there is constitution"
The tramway men struck for higher
wages, and the only justification that
they put forward was that there was
now a constitution. Yet men Of all
classes cheered in the lustiest manner
for the constitution. Throughout the
month of August struggled tobacco
was openly sold in the streets at a
very cheap rate, buyers and sellers
alike considering that the constitution
allowed men to set aside the law that
had made the sale of tobacco a govern
ment monopoly.

A TALE OF TURKEY.
Queer Things That Happened In the
Name Of the Constitution.

The ignorance of the Turkish masses
concerning political questions, says Sir
Edwin Pears in "FOrtr Years In Con-
stantinoplc," is shown by certain in
ci0ents Of the revolution Of 1908. The
hamals, or porters, in the towns, like
the peasants in the country, when
they heard that his majesty had sworn
to be faithful to the constitution, in
quired what it was. Was it person?
Was it new caliph? And very few
could give any clear explanation. The
words liberty" and equality" meant
something good, although they could
not have said what. TO some they
signified general license.
