Common Schools Of North Dakota
Placed In Jeopardy.
BY W. l. ST0cKWELL'S ACTIONS
Self Appointed oemagogue En-
deavoring to Draw Politics into
Educational Institutions.

Fargo Forum: The people
over the state who have been
anxious that the school system
should be alienated from the
political strife, and who viewed
with some astonishment the
fact that superintendent Stock
we'll presided over the recent
much mooted political confer
ence held by the Marshall in
surgents of the state at Grand
Forks last November, and who
were also somewhat astounded
because our superintendent of
public educational institutions
has been 50 persistent in faith
ering, protecting and fostering
the cause of the insurgents,
may not be surprised to know
that he is still pursuing the
same course.
There is every reason to be-
lieve that he is exercising no
small effort to enlist the coun-
ty school officers and teachers
over the state in this same
cause. This reason is based on
the fact that it is claimed
wherever possible, he has urged
county superintendent and
others connected with the
school system to urge his can
didacy for denomination, and
wherever possible, they have
been induced to circulate his
petition. o.
During the past six wears 81
his incumbency his personal
attention in educational mat
ters has been largely. centered
in the eastern portion of the
state. Viewing g with alarm the
great rapidity with which the
western side of the state is de-
veloping in the interest of the
staunch republican party, and
in view of the fact that hereto
fore he has given this portion
of the state a minor portion of
his attention along these lines,
has probably given him reason
to believe that the western
counties are becoming dan
gerous field for his personal
and political interests.
Probably with a view of max
ing a little political medicine
for himself is the reason he has
at this late date called a meet
ing of school clerks and school
directors to be held at Mott, the
county seat of Hettinger coun-
ty, this week, and it is but fair
to presume that this meeting

one; otherwise why would a
meeting of this kind be held
just at the close of the school
year and in the face of an inter
esting campaign, and especially
when Mr.. Stock wells own can
didacy appears to be in jeop-
,ardy.
/ Mr.. Stockwell probably rea-
lizes by this time that he as
Isumed a gigantic undertaking
when he volunteered to act as
standard bearer of that little
band of strange gods, whose
only object along political lines
is apparently for the political
disruption of the fair state.
:: 1t is not the wish of the peo-
pie of this state to have the
minds of their children contain
mated with political prejudices
and in,bued with the alleged
ideals of self-appointed dem
agogue who in his present po-
sition controls the entire school
system from a dictatorial stand
point.
The school system of this
state, as we'll as that of any
other state, builds the founda-
ton of the commonwealth
Children should be educated
through system whereby
their minds would become
broadened, where they would
see.all these~questions from a
fair and impartial standpoint;
they should have the opportun-
ity and advantage of more than
one biased opinion on all
public and political ques-
tions. Therefore the greatest
care should be exercised in
selecting officials who are to be
placed at the head of our edu-
Cational system.
The great majority of people
of this state believe that the
time; has arrived when there
should be a material change in
the head of the educational de-
partment. The people believe
that in this campaign they
have a man who is candidate
for this position who is endow-
ed with all necessary qualifica-
tions for this position, and it
but remains for the people to
compare the qualifications of
these two aspirants, and after
considering them justly and
fairly, it is believed a much
needed change can now be
made in the management of
the school affairs.

TRUE CULTURE,

The highest culture Is to speak no i'll;
The best reformer Is the man whose eyes
Are quick to see oil beauty and all work:
And by his own discreet, well-Ordered life
Alone reprOves the erring.
When thy gaze
Turns 1t on thine own soul, be most severe.
But when 1T falls upon q fellow-man
Let kindliness control it; and refrain
From that belittling censure that springs
forth
From common lips like words from
marShy soil.

Diaductlon

Diaduction may be used to re-ani.
mate three classes of living organ.
ism, namely: Human beings, ami
mails and plants, and thus there are
three branches; the Popular, simple
enough for any sensible. ten year
old child; the Scientific, familiar on
ly to the Discoverer, for use at the
eleventh hour; the Industrial, for
use in fostering the welfare of yalu-
able farm animals, fowls, plants,
flowers, etc.
In short, Diaduction as learned and
developed by the Discoverer during
the last half century, applies to any
thing that lives. AS with any
science, OR instance, surveying ar
chitecture, astronomy, there must be
implements, instruments, tools"
with which to utilize. to cause action;
and thus in Diaduction, as in Nature
Itself, there are Devices adapted to
Cause various effects, three of these
Diaductive means to ends being
named, to wit: Oxydonor, Vitara and
Panaxora,, each of which is adapted
to use by the general public, and
their proper use makes doctors and
supposed remedies not only useless
but absolutely foolish because, If
Diaduction is available, he who re.
sorts to drugs or knives commits
suicide. Dragging and knitting, If
done with knowledge OF the asser-
tions made by the Discoverer of Dia-
duction are mortal offenses against
the person. The Natural Laws,
which are the Emanation of the SUI
preme, do not condone the slightest
violation, while obedience to those
laws confers immunity to disease, or
the only possibility of recovery from
II.
The achievements OF Doctor Sanche
in developing to Perfect Success the
science of Diaduction, and making its
utilization available to every sane
human being, have made doctors and
remedies, together with all the Re-
hash-Barbarism, an insult to intelli-
gence, an offense against omniscience
and demand that man shall make
knitting and drugging statutory
crimes.

HUNDRE is OF
KIDNEY CASES
IN BENNINGTON

The famed Dr. I.oomis OF Bellevue
Hospital has declared that his aut-
opsies show that nine tenths of men
and women over forty have kidney dis
eae and as probably one-tenth of the
people In Bennington are over forty
thus nine-tenths of these would mean
many hundreds. But if DR.. LOOMS
statement is only partly correct 1t
would show the astonishing preva.
lence of kidney disease. Another
and important fact is that kidney
trouble is not only durable but com
monty gets well of itself the first few
weeks. But il It has been hanging on
and become chronic It is then con.
is shown by the census deaths from
kidney troubles-now over $4,000 an
nually, This frightful annual death
list also shows the futility of the
scores OF medicines that claim to cure
kidney trouble. While many of them
are possibly helpful during the first
few weeks of the curative stage,
there is only one thing known that
gets recovery in the chronic or sup
posed fatal stage, and we sent for ii
in the interest of people here. 1t has
a proven efficiency in just this class
in nearly nine-tenths of all cases and
limits the cases cited solely to the
supposed incurable forms. AS it is
impossible to say whether given
case of kidney disease is in the first
or second stage, the only sensible
plan II you have kidney trouble is to
start on the only thing that will reach
il in both stages
II you have kidney trouble start
right There is but one safe treat
ment. We will give you the desired
information.
