(Established 1873) <&ES> THE “GERMAN” VOTE. ° If we were a good, loyal American of German birth or descent we would prove our independence by rejecting the sop thrown the “German” vote by the Nonpartisan league in the platform which it adopted in.its state convention here last week. The myth of a “German” vote in North Dakota was exploded long ago. John Wishek proved to! his own satisfaction that it didn’t exist when he went before the people for governor on a platform ineluding all the so-called “German” planks. The German-American alliance in the olden days did succeed in frightening our legislative assemblies with this bogy of a “German” vote into enacting laws giving the German language and German history a place in our school system, but no one has ever been elected or defeated in North Dakota because he got or because he didn’t get the “German” vote, and we believe the league makes a political mistake in endeavoring to per-| ; = : petuate the idea that there is a “German” vote| English business men save paper by using the| past summer: in North Dakota which must be catered to. {same envelopes twice.

They had magnificent physiques, tall and supple, and carried themselves with stately grace, They were dressed in-long, strafght cotton gowns of blue or black, and a many- colored sash was wrapped around the waist. The only foot coverings were the gnklets of silver that fell down over the instep. Over their hair, which’ was braided in many. braids, and in which were plaited small god]. coins that clinked musically as they moved their heads, ,they. wore veils of black with a°colored border, which added to their dignity’ and; beqyty in a most | charming manner, From the lower lip to the neck, and lost in the coverings of the dress, were ‘three dark blue lines of tattooing. This | tattooing is seeft now only on the older women, and is being thrown on the al- tar of modernity by the daughters of the Bedouins who have peeped into the outer. world and are trying to be more like their city neighbors. The hair is) straight and black, and with many has been given a tinge of red by washing it In henna. J saw no gray-hatred wom- en, becauge,,those who have been touched by the, finger* of time have -+been allowed by kindly custom to dye their locks, and there were many flam- Ing heads above wrinkled faces. Hen- na is also applied to the nails of the fingers and toes, and the under side of the feet and palms are not forgotten by the Bedouin woman who has con- served the customs-of her mother and has not* yet relegated the Wenna pot to the lumber room along with the tat- tooing ink. ee Great masses of jewelry were worn by all, not’ the diamonds and rubies found In the cities, but the true orna- ments ofa barbaric people. Hoops of gold were in the ears—one hanging from the top of the ear, another from the lobe. The neck swag covered with chains formed of balls of gold or of coins, and on the arms were many bracelets. ' In‘writing coldly of the Bed- ouin woman, her tattooing, her henna- colored hair, her. kohl-blackened eyes, and her massive chains of gold and j anklets of silver, it seems as if she were still in an-age of barbarism,’ yet her ornaments ‘are becoming to ‘her rich coloring ‘and: she is not over- dressed. Ornaments belong to the time and the place, and are made for these women, who need strong settings for their own savage beauty. —— Somaleted eer A. T ‘ALK WITH A 2 BISMARCK MAN Mr. G.
