Recent society scandals divulged
in the courts, and the production

consideration OF the state Of So

Ramsey Macdonald has attacked
the idle rich, and his attack has
been supported by Canon Donald.
son, of Westminster Abbey,l Bishop
Weldon, of Durham, and others.
Justice McCardie and Justice
Shearman, speaking from the
bench, have stated that the society
scandals as presented in court, are
not representative Of English so
ciety.
Enter Arnold Bennett.
Arnold Bennett has replied to
these two judges as follows:
There is a fairly continuous
procession Of sucn cases in the
law courts. Either they are q
dream, and parties, witnesses,
council and judges are merely
phantoms, or they represent car.
tain phenomena in English social
and family life.
whether these phenomena are
increasing or. not IL an arguable
question, but one may reasonably
assume that such OF them as
reach the law courts constitute
less than per cent Of all the
similar phenomena actually exist
ing among us today. Only the
world-notorious hypocrisy of the
Anglo-Saxon would pretend that
the spectacle provided by the law
courts is entirely unrepresentative.
As Bennett has been decidedly
frank In attacking the ''phenom.
ena" OF society, SO there have been
numerous defenders Of modern go
ciety. Those newspapers which
circulate among the so.called ''bCt.
ter people" have been vigorous in
their defence Of society. On the
other hand, however, such news
papers as the Daily Herald and
Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express
have been frank m their condem.
nation.
Another Dennistoun case would
produce a revolt of popular rage
which might terrify our lawyers
into setting their house in order,
said the Daily Express. after all,
the public which pays for the
elaborate machinery of the law
has q right to criticise its operation.
The public may reasonably ask
why a miserably squalid dispute
Of this kind should have been al
lowed to become an expensive orgy
Of scandal and venom spreading
over weeks"
Clergymen and public speakers
are aroused. Attacks on sex plays
are being made on every hand.

dragged around from one agency
TO another by wild-eyod mothers
who cannot for the life Of them
see why the great managers are
not waiting for their particular
offspring.
A case OF this kind came very
close to me one time. A girl who
had achieved 3 certain success IN
q small town stock company was
forever being driven by her
mother, who admits that her am.
bition In life was to be great
actress.
The husband and father was
meek, mild man, who did his
daily grind with q cheerful spirit
and had become reconclled to
the mothers idea Of daughter
taking small parts In the local
stock company.
when this good man died and
left 3 little money to his, dear
ones the first thing the, mother
did was to buy q ticket to New
York and bring daughter here.
The girl was worried.
I don't think the stage had
ever really appealed to her. She
was more Hike her father, steady
and satisfied with home sur
rOundings.
She became desperate as the,
money dwindled away and no
definite engagement was forth
coming.
Mother is, Of course, convinced
that times have changed and IL
wouldn't have been 80 hard Cor
her In her time to have achieved
success. But, thank goodness,
she IL satisfied to stay homo now.
And so is daughter.

FINE EXHIBIT AT
INDIAN FAIR

Continued from First Page)
of the type and quality which tends
to improve all our commercial crops.
MI. Bell said the exhibits would
compare f~avorably with the quality
of the average exhibits of county
fairs throughout the state.
Schools and Domestic
Another very attractive part Of
the show was the canned fruits and
vegetables, and samples of pastry
prepared by the Indian housewives
and girls.
Three Indian schools-the Fort
Agency school, the Wolf Point Mis-
sion and the Burshia, north Of Pop
lar, each had on display excellent
showings of their work in domestic
science, and regular school work
such as needle work art work, draw
ings, pictures and maps. The gar
ments and crayon drawings had
special merit and reflected faithful
work by the teachers and pupils.
A list of the premium winners will
be published next week, if received.
The manner and care with which
the exhibits of all kinds were pre-
pared and displayed were greatly to
the credit of those responsible for
the work. Supt. Moller and his force
of assistants have much reason to
be proud of the progress being made
on the agency. 1t is substantial pro-
gress that deserves to be backed up
by the Indian department and Con-
gress.
Indian Officials
The Indian Fair is an Indian or
ganization. This year Charles
Thompson is president, Charles E.
Hall, vice president and Maurice
Big Horn, treasurer. Mr.. Thompson
says they desire to hold the fair at
Wolf Point next year and thereafter
alternate it between Poplar and
Wolf Point. The object is to bring
the fair nearer to the west-end In,
dams part of the time. An effort
will be made by the officials to make
arrangement for this change before
next fall.

on the evening of Tuesday, October
10, at the Methodist church. The

Supt. Livingston of the Wolf Point
school as well as Supt. Mitchell of
the Poplar school that they will CO.
operate to the fullest extent in
