pESSIMISTIC VIEW
OF NURSERY RHYMES
Viewed in This Way These Jinges Appear to Train
the Young Idea in the Way 1t Should Not Go.

There are many million children under
the age Of five years whose education In
most cases has been already begun by
course Of picture books One would
naturally expect that the fairy tales
and rhymes in these books. being in
tended for plastic little brains. would
teach the very best Of morals and good
behavior generally.
This. however. is not so by any
means. For instance. cruelty is con-
sidered as quite a matter OF course. The
snail--as -inoffensive a creature as one
could dnd--is told 10 come out of his
hole or he viii be beaten "as black as a
coal" The child hears this rhyme. and
presently he grasps the lesson II con-

The STeOrganizers" have secured a
final victory in the supreme court of
the state, and the decision of that
tribunal rendered late Monday after
noon gives them place on the official
ballot as the republican ticket in Ward
county. The situation has been some
what complicated because of the fact
that the county auditors leanings have
been toward the murphy" ticket,
which the supreme court directs to be
taken from the ballot, in case it has
been printed thereon as the republican
ticket. Owing to the size of Ward
county and the fact that only a week
remains until the election, in which to
print new ballots and distribute them.
the order of the court was more than
usually comprehensive to cover all
possible contingencies and insure to
the voters an opportunity to vote for
candidates whose nominations were
legally made in convention. The SUI
preme court, in these cases of dispute
as to party regularity, has followed the
precedent set two years ago, virtually
holding that the republican state cen
trail committee is the highest authority
in the state as to party regularity, and
has held with the decision of the COM
mittee in fixing which is the regular
republican organization in the county.

At the republican rally in Ecklund
township one of the most sensible and
convincing talks was made by County
Commissioner Ecklund. He told the
voters Of his district that the republi-
cans had been fair with them in the
distribution of officers. They had two
candidates on the republican ticket
and the only reason they didn't have
more possibly was the fact that they
asked for but two places on the ticket.
There certainly was an effort to treat
all sections of the county fairly and
as the nominees in one section expect
the voters in other portions of the
county to stand for them and vote the
ticket, SO should all sections and all
nominees stand true to each other and
the entire republican ticket.

Today is the second and last day for
registration of voters, and the boards
will remain in session until o'clock
p. m. 1t is the duty of the boards to
revise, correct and complete the regis
tration lists, today, and any person not
on the registration list if a legal voter
even will have to swear in his vote
next Tuesday. The powers of the
registration board on the second day
of registration are the same as on the
first day, viz, they may place on the
list the names Of any persons whom
they are convinced are voters and on
the second day the elector has an
additional right. He may, if the
judges refuse to register him, swear in
his name, and it is also within the
power of two electors to swear off
the name of any person who has been
registered and known not to possess
the qualifications, of an elector. Next
Tuesday occurs the battle of ballots.
The campaign in Burleigh county is
holly contested only to the extent of
the legislative and county ticket Let
us conclude the campaign with the
minimum display of temper and con-
duct the election on absolutely fair
and legal lines. Republicans should
be on the alert for roorbacks, for
misrepresentation and for ISLANDERS
on the part of the opposition and leave
no stone unturned or act undone of a
legal and equitable nature that may
contribute to republican success.

Mr.. Henry Kinds, North Dakota s

some of his first impressions of Ok
ford. He writes from Queens College,
Oxford, as follows:
Il managed to get safely to Liver
pool, after mailing my last at Queens
town, and am now settled at Oxford,
after having enjoyed one of the finest
voyages possible. We saw nothing of
the city and took the train for Ok
ford the night of the landing. Eng

anything else. The engines are small
having but two pairs of driving wheels

at all.

was nasty drizzle to cheer ca our
souls. After having the usual fuss
about our luggage, Vincent of Ohio

stroke of luck we all had rooms. We
found the beds made up, and cheer

significant little CRATE, however, is the
only thing that is to heat two rooms.
The college is built about two quad
rangular courts and is entered by two
small doors at each of which a por-
ter is stationed. There is a separate
entrance from the quadrangle to each
set of six Or eight rooms, there being
three floors and usually two sets on
floor. This arrangement is known
as stair case, and has it's own

.Sivert Andreas Nielsen was born on
the Lund farm in Brono parish in the
northern part Of Norway, Oct. 8, 1923.
From his ninth to his twelfth year he
made his living as shepherd, later as
fsherboy. and farm hand. Up to the
time of his confirmation he had at
tended school but little. His mother
taught him the alphabet and spelling,
and after that he had to look out for
his education himself. In the district
where he lived, school at that time was
held only one week each year. s
After his confirmation he secured the
required instruction and became a
school teacher. He soon got into NUM-
c1pal politics and held several Offices
in his district.
In 1859 he was first elected to the
member of that body almost ever since
up till 1897, when, owing to poor health,
he had to refuse the honor.
He was postmaster at Dodoe from
1880 to 1897. He was strongly re-
ligious man, working as lay preacher
at one time. .
In politics he belonged to the radical
party Csvenstre ~, and his services

monizer in hours of discord. On at
least three occasions was he offered q
place as cabinet member. but always
refused, mainly on account of his
health.
In 1897, when he had to withdraw
from public affairs, he was given a
pension Of 5000 kroner by special
vote in the storthing, in appreciation
Of his services.
He was truly elf-made man, and
