One of Chicago's largest wholesale
clothing houses for men today extern
sivelv advertised knickerbockers for
women foo general wear. The adver.
tisements point out the desirabllity OF
knickers for women for business ana
street wear. But what will become
of the "fapper"?
The news columns of today tell the
story of the coming conference OF the
Methodist churches, to be held IN Va va
lev City early in October. About 2Oo
visitors will be here for that meeting,
and we hope all our citizens will join
irsxtending hospitality to them. We
can all remember times when we were
guests of some city which was enter
tanning a large convention or fonfer-
ence, and how pleasant we found the
experience. Let US reciprocate by 40.
mo our utmost to make the stay OF
these delegates pleasant one.
Billv Sunday called the other day on
Arthur C. Burch, the young man ac-
cused of the murder of j. Bolton Ken
nedv at Los Angeles. His first &C
ouaintance with young Burch was
when the latter was an mianI III we
parsonage of the church of which ms
father was pastor. Young Burch 5
record as detailed by the news ABOUT
him since his arrest is not such as to
commend him particularly to ordinary
folks, but we may not nave the
straight of it altogether. At any rate
it was a good thing for Mr.. Sunday to
show some interest in him, and to
wish him luck.
FIGHTING in Ireland is on again; the
West Virginia miners are just about
to get into it with U. S. troops; the
I. W. w. UP near Bowbells are appar--
entlv inclined to push matters beyond
the limits Of peace; there is mob
fighting in the streets of Madras, In
dia. EVERYWHERE "wars and rumors
of wars" The philosophy Of force
has gotten into the blood of the peo-
nle all over the world. The old fash
toned man who believed in persuasion,
friendly argument, and appealing to
the spirit of fair play is not much, IN
evidence today, but he will have his
innings sometime.
Edith Wharton, the writer, told
this war story: "The American
wounded were being brought in from
the second Marine BATTLE" he said.
"and a fussy American woman IN a
khaki uniform and Sam Browne belt
knelt over stretcher and said, is this
case an officer or only man,? The
brawny corporal who stood beside the
stretcher gave her a grim laugh and
said: We'll, lady, he amt no officer
but he's been hit twice in the innards
both legs busted, he's got two bullets
in both arms, and we dropt him three
time without his letting out squeak
so l guess we can call him m N.

Many people in and around Valley
City will be interested in the an.
nouncement of the appointment of DR.
John Lee Coulter as new head of the
Agricultural College. 1t takes big
man to do for North Dakota what the
state wants from the head of our A
c., and we Judge that the board has
done admirably in choosing DR.. Coul.
ter for the position. 1t is worthy OF
remark that he is North Dakota pro.
duct, a. graduate of Grand Forks high
school and of N. D. University. He
should have no lack of understanding
of North Dakota's agricultural prob
lens, and of the people of the state
Success to him. We believe the A. c
will be bigger and better than evel
under his management.
Good roads are one of the greatest
needs of North Dakota. Everybody
profits by good roads, from the farmer
whose produce has to be hauled tt
market to the visitor whose auto takes
him through the country. Vast sums
are being spent in roadmaking, which
speaks we'll for the intelligence ano
ygressiveness of the American peo
PIE. But there is one phase of the
cad business which is not as YET
emphasized as it should be and some
cay will be, and that is the provision
Of adequate funds and adequately
trained men to care for the upkeep Of
roads which have been put in good
ndition. The railroads not only
build as perfect road for their trains
- their engineers can devise and their
i-snds allow, but they also constantly
