Minot, N. D., Mar. 5.-The present
winter has been the mildest in at

Judge c. J. Fisk of Minot, who has

The following editorial, which ap-
peared in a recent issue Of the Nor

appropriate and concise terms the
sentiments Of the editorial staff Of the
Washington Sentinel The Sentinel

present to its readers bona hde news
portraying the more ennobling aspects
of our racial life-our accomplish
ments in educational, scientific, fnan-
cial political, literary, religious, pro-
fessional and other fields.
The editorial referred to is as fol-
lows:
Recently We have read some pretty
pointed criticisms Of the manner in
which some Of the leading race news
papers feature scandal and crime in
their news columns. AS rule the
publishers answer to this criticism j
that the people want just what they
are giving them.
A widely read race paper carried
on the front page Of its last issue
twelve articles featuring crime or
scandal under the following heads:
Jealous Wife Stabs Husband;"
white Man Stays Colored Man."
boy Stays Uncle" Jealous Wife
Kills Husband" "Colored Maid Sui
cide;;" "Gruesome Murder of Aged
Colored Man." "Axe Slayer of 24;n
Shot in Crap Came" @Robber Kills
Duellist;" Burglars Steal Beds"
kidnapping a Mystery" All Of this
was served up on one page and is
fair example Of the general trend OF
most Of our leading race papers.

the stands. X suppress the sensa-
tional, the morbid, the vulgar and the

DO the people want that sort of
news? Evidently they do. for the pa

enjoying unprecedented growth.
But i i ! healthy growth. and does
il not injure the public moralss That
is the vital question which concerns
every publisher who wishes to make
his paper a constructive force.
The newspaper editors and publish
ers have better opportunity than
most groups to observe the trend OF
the public mind, but It is a question
whether the newspapers in their policy
Of scandalmongery are following or

Memenfoes of Ancient
Carthage in ENGLAND

The ruined temple at Virginia Wetu
Surrey England, is always somewhat
of a mystery to visitors to that beauty
spot which was at one time dreary
swamp.
Standing In romantic glen, its col
umns look as though they had been
undisturbed for 1000 years. The fact
is that the temple has been in its pres
ent position about century. Its
original site was ancient Carthage.
On several of the stones are inscrip-
tiOns. One, in Greek, on an altar
stone, tells how Pubius Aurelius dedi-
Gated 1t to Jupiter and to the other
gods worshiped in the temple. Others
are written in Latin. One of these
reads: "Marcus julius erected this to
his most beloved wife Domitia Rogata
who lived twenty-three years"
At one time fine group of ancient
Greek statuary stood near these col
umns from Carthage. When William
" opened these lovely grounds to the
public, however. these statues were so
shamefully mutilated by visitors that
they were completely ruined. and the
public were again excluded until the
reign of Queen Victoria.

Go-as-You-Please Spelling

We sometimes fancy that strictly

the right order of themselves. If some
good people never can spell with
pedantic accuracy, does ii matter so
very much? "Oh she knew well. Thy

Got Mild Intoxicanf
From "Peyofe" Plant

"Peyote" pronounced "pay-yo-tay"
with accent on SECOND syllable) is the
Mexican form of the Aztec "peyotl.'
meaning caterpillar. The Aztecs ap-
piled ''peyotl" to species of compo
site plants in southern Mexico because
of the downy growth on the roots. A
mild intoxicant was made by the IT,
dians from this plant. Later '.peyote
came TO be applied tn small spineiess
cactus which grows in northern Mex
leo and the southwestern part of the
United States. This cactus is found
in abundance along the Rio Grande.
The small tops which barely pro-
trude above the ground are often
called "mescal buttons" "mescal" be-
ing another name for peyote. From
the dried tops is made medicine used
as remedy for various ailments. But
the chief use of pesote is in certain
religious ceremonies. Ii exhilarates
the mind, intensifies the Imagination
and produces a pleasant dreamness.
without, however. any disagreeable eff
fects later. AT least this is what the
authorities report
The peyote is taken at intervals dur
Ing the ceremonies, which last through
ont the night. Originally all the red
men in that region chewed mescal. In
recent years the peyOte religion has
spread among the Indians in Oklahoma
and farther north. Some tribes look
upon the plant as of divine origin and
treat 1t with veneration. There is no
English name which we know of for
peyote.-Pathfinder Magazine
