the peace of death; and the fecund

ASKS NORTHERN PACIFIC
TO BUILD TO HIS TOWN

F.. E. Ellickson who, after getting
out the Regent Times, a mighty good
little weekly paper, finds time to look
after the development of his town, as
secretary of the local commercial
club, has written the Bismarck Com
mercial club requesting it's co-opera-
ton in Regents efforts to be taken
into consideration in the Northern
Pacifc's extension west from Mott.
Regent is located on the ST. Paul
line, between Mott and New England.
The present Northern Pacific survey
runs more than mile south Of Re-
gent, and Mr.. Ellickson feels that
this is mistake, both from the stand
point of the railroad company and of
the town. He believes it would be
much to Bismarck's advantages as
well as beneficial to the Northern Pa
cific to have the extension touch Re-
gent, as he points out that much of
the business which the Capital City
should have now goes over the 81.
Paul to Aberdeen.
Regent is a hustling little town
which is growing rapidly. Last year
it marketed more than 100000 bush.
els of small grain, and the Bismarck
Commercial club will gladly join
with the Regent organization in an
endeavor to impress upon the North
ern Pacific the fact that this COM
munity is too good bet to be passed

FORTUNATE FEET.

1t pays to have funny feet. AT
least, it would seem that way, though
one ought perhaps to add that it
pays to have funny feet combined
with a ridiculous way Of using them,
an absurd mustache and a propensity
for breaking dishes.
Six hundred and seventy thousand
per year is what it pays. A hundred

of these attributes in the act Of sign

movie men.
And yet not everyone with funny
feet and an absurd mustache can get
a salary based solely on those posses
sions. There's always that little I'M
explainable something, that little
quirk of personality, that lies back
of these apparently incongruous sit
nations. It's not just the funny fee,
and the other things that make Char

HENRY JAMES.

With the passing of Henry James
the English-speaking peoples lose
their connection with one OF the
greatest minds of the late nineteenth
century.
1t has long been the fashion to
speak of Henry James with a sort OF
light ridicule because of his ponder
Gus and difficult style. But when one
comes to analyze the matter, it is
generally revealed that those who
condemn him have not read him. An
occasional sentence or half-page Is
the sum of their knowledge. 1t is i'm
possible to read all of one single
piece of his work without forever
after taking him seriously.
The involved style is a handicap to
those who are accustomed to read
hastily. But to those who are willing
to take time to 60 beneath the sur.
face, there IS no sentence which is
10. Faa ~. ~ g.s
not crammed with meaning.
1t is true that Mr.. James devoted
his life to one social group. But IT
is not true that he devoted his life
to depicting the manners of that
group. Never has novelist more
keenly searched the soul, laid bare
the Utmost motive, studied life more
deeply at it's sources than has Henry
James.
Mr.. James has neved had a vogue;
his work has not been popular with
the many who want to get their read
ing while they run. But it is likely
that his wonderfully drawn portraits
Of character will be appreciated by a
constantly growing circle Of readers,
and that when much OF the popular
fiction of the day has passed into OBJ.
livion, the merit of Mr.. James de.
lineations will be realized by more
and more of those people who are in
terested in the intensive study OF
life.

Said Justice Shearn in his decision:
1T is claimed that the father has
paramount right to the custody of a
child. This was once the law, but
we have emerged from the dark ages
during which married women had the
status of slaves and chattels.
"The only basis for the fathers al
legged superior right tocay is his OBJ
legation to support his children. This
basis disappears when one considers
what mother gives to her children
insuffering, self-sacrifce and devo-
ton. On any admeasurement Of rights
determined by service rendered, the
right of the mother to the custody OF
her children is at least equal to that
of the father. The real test should
be the welfare of the child

Improved mail service for TT. Yates

Just now it takes a letter about as

lin, as it would for the same missive
to jump to New York and back. The
Commercial clubs attention to this
state of affairs was called some time

A Feu Activities Of
the Commercial Club
AND PAiNT-UP
CAMPAIGN FOR BISMARCK

CAMPAIGN FOR BISMARCK
cleanup and paint-up campaign for
Bismarck, April 10 to 20, is an idea
evolved by the city beautiful com
mittee OF the Commercial club at its
initial meeting last week Mayor
Lucas will be asked to issue a procla-
nation setting aside these ten days
for the purpose of securing and brush
ing up the Capital City; the co-opera-
ton of'municipal and civic forces gen
orally will be enlisted; the Junior
Chamber Of Commerce has pledged
it's aid, and it is expected that valu-
able assistance will be received from
the women's, clubs Of the city.
The purpose of the campaign is' to
clear away the winters accumulation
Of debris and filth. to apply the paint
brush where it. is needed; to remove
unsightly fences and outhouses which
have survived their usefulness, and
generally to put Bismarck in spick
and span shape to greet the most
promising summer in its history
The city will be divided into dis
trlctS; a strong committee Will be
placed in charge of each district;
small prizes will be offered for the
greatest improvements wrought in
individual premises, and to stimulate
rivalry between the various sections
of the city a handsome cup will be
awarded the district which makes the
best general 'shoWing.
Other matters discussed by the city
beautiful committee were the en-
forcement of Bismarcks weed cutting
ordinances; the elimination of sur
face bitches along the sides of our
streets; the extension of curbs and
cutters in the residential districts;
Identification of parking strips; the
eradication of surface outhouses in
the severed districts, and a move
ment for the general utilization Of
window-boxes in the downtown dis
trict.

.THE WORLD HAS MOVED

"The world has moved since 1872"
said Supreme Court Justice Shearn
of New York, in decision involving
a woman's guardianship of her child,
and her right to make contract
with her husband.
ut is not to be believed that today
any enlightened court would subscribe
to the statement that the very legal
existence of woman is SUSPENDED
during her marriage. BY statute and
judicial decision it is now true that
a wife is permitted to contract with
the freedom of femme sole and by
the express consent of the legislature
she can at least contract with her
husband the same as if unmarried .
This sounds so reasonable as to be
br6midic. And yet for many states
this would be a most radical deci
sion.
The facts in the case were these:
Mrs. Burton Howard Lee last year
sued for separation, then decided to
withdraw her suit, making private
agreement instead. Ely this agree.
ment she was to receive $12 a week
alimony and the custody Of her young
er child, the older remaining with
the father, and both children to visit
each parent alternately.
Mr.. Lee did not fulfill the agree.
ment, and claimed that the father had
a paramount right to the custody Of
a child 1t seems that in New York
state the last case in which this plea
was made as to paramount right was
in 1912. This was decided in favor
of the father, according to the the
ory that when a woman married she
suspended her legal existence and be
came. legally, part OF her husband
Not only her interests, her property
and her personality. but her very lifs
was merged in that of her husband
