A WISE DECISION,


The North Dakota Progressive COM
mtttee has shown wisdom in its decis-
ion to recommend to tho members of
the party in this state the support of
Charles r. Hughes for president. The
resolution adopted set forth very
clearly the facts on which this decis-
ion was based.
While many factors entered into
the organization Of the Progressive
party four years ago, it is undeniabIe
that the great mass Of those who con-
stituted the membership Of that party
we're animated by a sincere desire to
bring about important legislative and
administrative reforms. in short, to
secure better government. Whether
or not tho means employed were the
best under the circumstances Is
scarcely q matter for discussion now.
Certain it IL that through their organ
izaticn the ProErsssives have welded
a marked influence in the shaping Of
policies for both the other parties.
Tho purpose OF the organization be-
Ing tho incorporation Of certain prin-
ciples in the laws Of the country and
the administration Of the nations af-
fairs In . manner consistent with
these idesls, 1t is entirely fitting that
the Progressives should, at this junct-
ure. gtve their support to Mr.. Hughes.

unenthusiastic that Earle hurried his
bride over to his brothers home at Al

about being misunderstood. Il do not
believe in free love-" he declared, but in
the freedom of love when it opposes the
dictates of social convention" There's q
difference, of course. Anyone can see 1t.
The English girl saw the difference
before they were married. After they
had languished in marital bliss for year
she began to resent her husbands inter

near their home. Finally she took her
two little girls and moved back to OK

isn't his fault quite, is it? After having

Ferdinand Pinney started out along in

French woman, Amelie Fishbacher.
She was petite and dainty, with cameo
features, dark fuffng hair, and dark,
wide-open eyes, and her Gallo blood run

was the daughter of a Partisan book

nets explaining his views on marriage
which he was writing.
He had developed views on marriage.
He found suddenly that he believed mar
riages to be made before birth, through
heaven-directed afinities, and continuing
after death. Which being the case, and
the first delightful thrill of groom-hood
having worn off, of course his was not a
heaven-directed union. 1t was unfortu-
nate, of course, that a child existed.
Sentiment clinging round the boy made
logical step hard to take. Still. man
and woman, not aflnities, were in a bad
way! Besides, there was young woman
from Bethlehem, Pa, a sweet, trusting
thing, evidently foreordained to be his
life partner, who gave every promise Of
serving up marriage in an original and
interesting manner-very different from
the French serving, and who-of course
would doubtless continue to remain the
ideal wife forever!
Right then was where he threw a
highly explosive bit of nonconvention at
society which kept the press of two con-
tinents reverberating for some little time.
He went to his father-in-law in France,
declared that his wife and himself we're
maritally unsuited, and announced his in
tention of sending her home. Then he
came back to America and told her about
it. After which he brought the girl from
Bethlehem, Pa, along with the girls
mother and brother, to live at his home
in Monroe, N. Y. And they all lived to-
gether until Ferdinand took the little
French woman to the boat and sent her
and their son away to France. The town
turned 'out to meet him when he came
home. Towns have way of undignified
behaving. This one dragged him in the
mud and lashed him with his carriage
whip. He had lived with his wife ten
years.

They hadn't lived in Venice, where they

few weeks before all was not quite as it
should have been. Mrs. Kutner-Earle be-

back to America and went to live in
Earle's home at Monroe. They got
along more or less scrappily, and Mrs.

Gertrude was that anomaly-the at
tractive woman with brains. She not
only wrote for publications and wrote

She met the affinity connoisseur at a pic

instant attachment was the result. 1t
wasn't long before they were collaborat

what it is meant to be. Then she went
to the Monroe house to live. And her
brother, Ballard Dunn, Chicago newspa-

There was conference. Among other
