Speaking about improving our
present schoo.house and spend
ing two or three thousand dollars
for fixing it up, why wouldn't it
be a good idea for this district to
get plans made for an eight room
schoolhouse such as we will need
and then build four rooms of the
plan for present needs and leave
the rest until such time as the
district will be in shape to COM
plete the structure. The same
heating plant will do for the
whole building. The district can
bond itself for s., 500 and putting
the amount proposed tospend on
Improvements with that amount
would give us enough funds to
put Up and complete four rooms,
thoroughly heated and equipped
with improved ventilation, etc.
The Courier does not believe
that it is wise to spend any large
amount in fixing up the present
building because we don't believe
thatit can be done for any such
sum as proposed and in order to
make it healthy and fit for chill
dren it wonld need rebuilding
from basement to roof. The
Courier has no AK to grind in this
matter or any scheme to further,
but we have the welfare of the
children at heart and believe
that they are entitled toa healthy,
well lighted, and well ventilated

compared with the health OF

School Doings.

The Longtellow literary society
in connection with Mr.. A. p.
Jones school held an interesting
meeting last Wednesday evening.
About forty-five were present
and all appeared interested. The
children performed their parts
very nicely. The vocal and in
strumental music we're especi-
ally enjoyed and the debate
which followed was carried on in
q very friendly spirit. We learn
however that there are those
who oppose literary societies.
Their reasons for so doing are
doubtless best known to them
selves. AS to the practice in
recitation, music, parliamentary
usage and the development of
the social sides of their natures
there seems to be no question as
to the benefit to the young when
the selections for recitation and
singing have been wisely chosen.
AS to the public discussions of
questions we fail to see anything
but good following when carried
on the right spirit, but if choos.
ing sides and judges engenders
strife then of course it is very
wrong. 1t may be that therein
lies their great objection. If so
let us also remember that there
are those who cannot enter into
a friendly game even innocent in
itself, without showing a spirit
of animosity if their side does
not win. Perhaps a free-for-all
debate left without decision
would answer all purposes. The
world moves; and the old system
of giving prizes in school so
much used when our parents
were children is but very little
thought Of at the present time,
because of the hatred and envy
of those who worked just as hard

called before the bar of that
august body last week and on re-

apology was fired from his job,
his pay cut down and told to go

The editor of the Minot Optic
uses up several columns Of his
valuable paper in jumping onto
congress for abolishing the can
teen and also ON the people of
North Dakota for enacting the
prohibition law, the latter class
he calls fanatics. 1t seems to us
that Me- lure's past experience
ought to have set him on the
right side instead of being in
league with the dealers in liquor
and the despoilers of homes. A
majority Of the people of North
Dakota voted for prohibition, yet
they are termed fanatics by this
moulder of public opinion at
Minot. It would be perfectly
proper for the Optic. man to
argue his side of the question, a
right he has, Of course, but it
seems to us that he rather
over steps the bounds of COM
mon sense when he calls
those opposed to his ideas fam
atics-especially when they are
in the majority. His argument
is along the same line as that of
the all wise Mandan Pioneer
editor, who ter ms those in favor
ola primary election law faddists.
We expect to hear next that those
opposed to a 80 days divorce law
are idiots. Arguments of this
character never have any great
weight with the voters and never
will. There are always two
sides to a questionable right
and wrong but the advocates of
either have no right to call the
other side faddists or fanatics
Either have perfect right to an
honest opinion as to the merits
Of their side of the question.

HIS HEAD

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The war de-
partment today received information
from General Macarthur that Aguinaldo
has taken the oath of allegiance to the
United States under the terms of am
nesty offered by General Macarthur bv
direction of the president. The dispatch
conveying this information contained
much more than was given to the public.
The portion withheld related to the fu.
ture disposition of Aguinaldo and made
suggestions as to what the late chief of
the insurrection might accomplish. No
official statement could be obtained as to
what finally would be done with the
prisoner, but it was emphatically stated
that he would be held for the present.
but would be granted all possible immu-
nifty consistent with existing conditions.
General Macarthur has hopes that a

Jap Mounce will leav. early next
week for California and will accompany
his son, Owen Mounce, to the east.
Owen Mounce is under contract to ride
this season for August Belmont at re-
tanning salary of f7ooo, which does not
include his regular fee OF $40 for each
mount and f25 for each winning mount.
While in big stake events he will get $2s
for each mount and $50 if he lands vim
ner. If his present success continues
young Mounce will probably make $Io.-
600 or 81 600 this season. The season
opens May I, and the Belmont string
will be represented in all the big events
of the eastern circuit,

great deal may be accomplished through
Aguinaldo. During the time he has
been prisoner he has made quite a
favorable impression upon General Mac
Arthur. 1t has been suggested that
under the terms of the note of amnesty
the prisoner should be set at liberty at
once, but there is a provision in the am
nesty proclamation which says that those
who have violated the laws of war are
excepted from its terms Whether or
not general Macarthur has been satisfied
that Aguinaldo has not violated the law
can not be stated, as the prisoner would
be permitted to take the oath pending
An investigation of his past conduct.
Aguinaldo having been the head of the
instruction undoubtedly can be held
until further investigation is made or
until the circumstances which surround
the situation in the Philippines make it
advisable to release him outright or
otherwise dispose of him. These condi-
tions and the general situation, and
Aguinaldo's relation to them, were the
subject of General MacArthur's dispatch,
and are being considered by the authori-
ties here who will have the final dispo-
sition of the matter.

The April term of the supreme court
has been in session in the CITY since
Monday. The calendar for the term is
light and the session will probably end

district court in the cases against County
Commissioners lsaman and Black. The
decision in the court below ousted the
commissioners from Office and awarded
$500 to each of the informants, S. o.
Tannahill and John Pointing. The ap-
peal was argued by +. O'Neill for the
appellants and b. F. Tweedy for the re-
spondents.
In the case Of James w. Reid VS.. F.. G.
Steele, the case was argued and taken
under advisement. This is case where
the defendant secured writ of review
from an order made by Judge Steele re-
quiring him to pay $500 into court
The appeal made by J. w. Reid against
the Judgment rendered in his suit against
the Lawyers Cooperative Publishing Co.
was dismissed, also the appeal taken in
Albert Rockwell VS.. G. w. Bashor, 4
case concerning the title to reservation

The case Of the First National bank OF
Lewiston VS.. Charles G. Sampson was
argued and taken under advisement. At

Thomas Oliver ami George Riggs was
heard and a writ Of restitution ordered
