BOYS CHIEF WITNESSES IN TRIAL
 OFAE. MCLEAN FOR SHAVING WIFE

his mother died at two o'clock on the afternoon of the 21st.
 On cross s-examination, Donald stated that he had talked about the case to officials for the government, that his mother had taught him to tell time and that the day of his mothers death he had stayed in the house, except for one trip for water.
 On redirect examination, Donald said his father had told him to tell the neighborS that his mother had been dragged under the sled by the dogs.
 Attorney Ray moved to have all the testimony stricken from the record on the ground that it was the result of leading questions, given in a parrot like manner. and not told in the man. ner statement of fact would be re- lated. Judge Brown Over-ruled the motion and Hector Mcdonald was called.
 What is your name, Bud?" was U. s. Attorney Spence's first question.
 Hector" said the boy in a low voice, and Attorney Ray asked if the boys name was Bud"
 This riled Spence, who said he had been patient with the attorney for the defense, but was becoming impatient.
 Hector did not show fear, in spite of his youth. and told story corrob- orating in almost every detail, that told by his brother, although inter fered with considerably by interrup- tionS by U. s. Attorney Spence. Hec- tor was in the inside in bed. he said, and did not see as much as Donald, but he peeked out some and "heard papa beating mammals head on the floor"
 Attorney Ray, on cross-examina- tion. asked questions in an effort to show that the boy would say "Yes" to every question asked, but the expert ,ment was not successful, for the little fellow explained again that he did not see all, but some his brother told him.
 Prior to direct examination, Attor- ney Ray moved that the boy not be examined on account of his youth and inability to reach conclusions. Hector was asked by both sides whether he knew that it was wrong to tell lie, and answered yes, stating that he had been told so by the Assistant U. s. Attorney and knew so before, that, having been taught at school by his father.

CONSUMPTION.

Great Britain learned through bitter experience that to raise an
army of sufficient proportions to cope with the miitarism of Ger
many, which had been preparing for war for fifty years, CONSUMPTION
was necessary.
1t is well that the United States has not waited to duplicate that
be raised, it is better to proceed along those lines which have been
IN the experience OF other nations.
But we entirely agree with the st. Paul Dispatch in saying that
those who have been beratmg young men for failing to enlist before
CONSUMPTION goes into effect have been unwise in their conclusions
and without warrant in fact.
The Dispatch was commenting on remarks made by a chaplain
of a Minnesota regiment who sought to impress upon his hearers
that nothing but obloquy awaited the soldier who waits for the
seechve draft.
During our Civil War, when freedom was hanging in the bal
ance and when the events transporting and the causes which led to
war were before the eyes OF the people, the remarks Of the distn-
gnished chaplain nigh apply with some force, but conditions are now
so vastly different from those of 81 as to furnish no Unsuitable
grounds. upon which to base such assertions as are credited to the
Minnesotan.
1T is absolutely certain declares the Dispatch, ssthat the
great army we must raise will be the result, for the most part, of a
wise and discriminating conscriptive system, a system that will select
the best and fttest men, placing in the ranks of war those best
adapted to that service and installing in other branches of the ma
tional defense service those best qualified to give results there #
will be upon our selected, conscripted armies that the defense of the
country will vest. 1t must be so in the end. Is it wise, is it lust. is
u true to say that the men thus chosen are less patriotic or will less
merit the grateful reward of an appreciative nation? Why under
sake IN advance to take the heart and courage and self respect out
= the young men upon whose shoulders eventually will fall the bur.
den OF universal obligation in obedience to a law which time and
experience will pronounce wise, just and necessary''

CEASE WRITING AND START FIGHTING !,

The Saturday News deems the passage Of tn, conservation hill
a wise thing to do at the very outset of this countrys defensive
war.
England tried the volunteer system for a long time, but was
forced &c adopt a modified system of CONSUMPTION in the enc. The
United States would have had similar experience. and il would have
come after a costly period Of inactivity.
But we are constrained to call attention to Congressman ROYAL
y. Johnson s closing words in a letter to Mayor Durham of Clark
concluding his reply, the congressman said, sLet us cease writing
and start fighting

The Aberdeen News, speaking of the prohibition of gambling in
the wheat market at Winnipeg, our northern neighbor, says, in part
The action taken in the Canadian city is one which
the United States could follow with advantage in w4 time.
Trading IN futures is almost entirely a speculative prop

The difference between what the farmer, the pro
Queer OF the wheat, sells his crop for, continues the paper,
great.
We are glad to observe that our Aberdeen contemporary enter
fans views with regard to this matter in line with those held by
The Saturday News.
But this paper would not confne the prohibition of gambling in
farm products merely to the period covered by the war. 1t would
prohibit it at all times.
The producers encounter too many risks in the raising Of grains
to view with equnamlty the manipulating Of the prices in the inter
ets OF men who neither sow nor reap or do anything else save the
securing OF a living for themselves at other peoples expense.
