Statement
GIRLS BUY THEN

Fargo. N. D. April 3.-Popularlty
of magazine fiction, as evidenced by
the sale of magazines in Fargo,
varies greatly from year to year.
year ago purely fiction magazines
held the center of the stage. Now
the "true" story magazine, with ITS
confessions" draws the trade, ac-
cording to Il survey of ten drug
stores. magazines and news stands,
pool halls and cigar stores where
magazines are sold. made by a
journalism student at the state agri-
cultural college here.
Figures obtained from these ten
operators of literary cafcterias show
that they are selling from so to 1870
copies apiece of a certain true
STORY magazine, or a total of about
ESQ copies annually. At least a
dozen other magazines of the same
type are enjoying equal popularity,
they said.
Who buys them? Nine of every
ten that are pushed over the counter
goes into girls hands-the ages of
these girls ranging from fifteen to
fifty.
"The girls like them" one dealer
said "They'rc sort of spicy and sup
posed to be true and that draws the
quarters from the womcn's pocket
books" This dealer declared that
sales of other magazines had fallen
noticeably since the advent Of the
confessional type of magazine.
"The girls like this one too he
said, picking up small vest-pocket
paper-back, but they let their boy
friends or husbands buy it for them
The methods employed in purchas-
ing one of these "racy' magazines
we're outlined by one of the ter
dealers:

BY T. ). o'FLAHERTY.

William Jennings Bryan, Americas
most perennial presidential candidate,
has lent the lustre of well advertis-
ed name to many causes and also the
aid Of an eloquent tongue, but it is
doubtful if at any time during the long
public career of this spectacular
mountebank, he got entangled in an
Issue that will contribute more to his
political delousation than his espousal
of the lost cause of fundamental ig-
norance L. the realm of biology, thru
the medium Of the Scopes case about
to be tried in Dayton, Tennessee.
The facts of the case, briefly stated
are: John Thomas Scopes, football
coach and science teacher in a Doyton
high school taught the theory of evo-
luton to his pupils. Until the year
1874 it was perfectly legal to do this,
but the state legislature of Tennessee
among others, under the influence of
ignorant cave-men like William Jen-
nings Bryan, had bill passed which
made it violation of state law for a
public school teacher to inform his
pupils on the Darwinian theory or any
other theory of evolution.
John Thomas Scopes deliberately
set about violating this law in order
to test its constitutionality. He imme-
diately became a national figure,
thereby banishing James A. Stillman
and his concubines from the front
page, for the time being, and forcing
the Chicago gunner to resort to I'M
usual forms of murder in order to
make the eight column headline.
Publicity means as much to a poll
teal mountebank as water does to a
thirsty mule, so when William Jen-
nings Bryan, scented a chance to
break into the headlines as a leader
of the forces of darkness he hit the
trail to Tennessee with as much zest
as a tomcat on his way to a love
tryst. Religion, according to Bryan,
had one foot on a banana peel of
ancient vintage while the other foot
