communication of interest general
!y, is printed in this issue over the sig
mature of county Supt. Sherarts. Just
as matter of information without ex
pressing any particular opinion as te
the merits of the matter we may say
tibet there appears to be something
lacking in the statutes. Theschool Law
provides that the state superintendent
and educational board shall formulate a
course of.study for use in the common
schools. This of course has been done
and has been in force in the state fol
several years. In connection with this
course of study sets of examination
papers are prepared for monthly and
final examinations for each grade from
the 3rd to the sth. These questions are
sent out to the teachers every month,
and results of the monthly and the writ
ten answers to the finals are returned to
the county superintendent for bis exam
ination and marking. The purpose be.
ing primarily that he shall be able to
see that the course of study is being
carried out and to note the progress OF
the pupils.
At the begianing of this system, the
state prepared, printed and mailed these
examination questions to the county
superintendents. Later the state audit
ing board concluded that under the
law all the state had right to pay fol
was the printing Of the questions.
Supt. Stockwell then gave the work
Of preparing and mailing the questions
to Mr.. w. g. Crocker Of Lisbon, who il
"a publisher Of educational periodicals
and since that time Mr.. Crocker has
billed the counties for this part of the
work and it is this bill that our county
board has turned down at this time
For the amount Of work done, Mr.
Crocker's bill does not seem to be ex.
orbitant.
But there seems to be no direct Law

sRlccs COUNTY RESOLUTIONS

ssWe are opposed to boss ruae in poll
l,tics and believe that our national COM
'miteeman should be q man OF such abil-
|;ity and integrity Of character as to COM
'mand the respect and confidence of the
entire people.
I'VE are further of the opinion that
there is no reason for stalwartism, in
.surgentism or any other ism, excepting
lIpure republicanism clean and free from
boss dictatlon, and to that end we are
working for the common good of the re.
publican party of this state.''
We copy the above as model resolu-
tions. We believe they express the ex.
act feelings and opinions of the great
majority of the Republican :party of the
state. From indications weare inclined
to the belief that this will he the feeling
and expression of the majority of the
delegates at the Minot convention.
There is however the danger at the con.
vention that the more radical elements
of both wings of the party will put ur
so strong a fight against each other that
the real battle that is to come later will
be lost sight of and a Kilkenny cat-fight
be the only result.
Notwithstanding the fact that Alex
Mckenzie has voluntarily,gone out of the
race for national committee man, not.
withstanding that the great majority ot
the party agree(whether they are oppos-
ed to him personally or atherwise) that
it was the wisest and beststhing for him
and the party to step into the back:
gronnd, yet the insurgent wing have in.
sisted in continuing Mr.. Mckenzie as an
issue, and if they stil continue will
practically force the convention to make
him an issue, even as they did with Gov
ESarles, who would not have been renom
mated if it had not been for similar
flight on him by the insurgents at the
convention of two years ago.
There is an opportunity for some good
leadership at the Minot convention
;and if there is failure of such leader.
|sship,-then we may look dor a similar
result in this state as occurred two years
ago.

Arbor Day Proclamation
State of North Dakota, Executive De

partment. - ne=t
EThere has never been, in the history
of the world, such wide spread interest
in forest culture. To save their vineyards
and orchards, France and Italy are now
reforesting their watersheds, while in
our own land the best authorities claim
that in Is years our forests will be ex
hausted. The rapidly disappearing
forests have caused our government to
set aside as national Forest reserve large
tracts of timber which are under the
care and supervision OF the government
Our state should not be behind the
times in this great movement. Ours is
prairie state, an agricultural state;
and the influence of trees and forests in
producing and conserving moisture, in
breaking winds and in tempering the
climate, is we'll known. North Dakota
does not need forests for lumber and
fuel alone, but it needs forests also fol
the great benefit that they are sto agri
culture.
Therefore, for the purpose of encourag.
ing the planting and cultivation of forest
trees, l do hereby designate
FRIDAY, MAY #nRsT, AS ARBoR DAY
for this state, as a'day set apart for the
planting of trees and shrubbery. I re-
commend the planting of trees and
shrubbery in school yards and public
grounds, and that the only exercises
held in the public schools on such day
be those relating to forestry, the infu
ence OF forestry upon the air, the soil
the rainfall and the conservation o.
moisture, SO that the rising genera tior
may grow up with a knowledge of its
greatest benefit to agriculture in this
great agricultural state.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State of North Dakota, a

of April, "A. D., 1908.

JOHNSON VS.. BRYAN.

@ne of the political signs .ofithe ,day'is
the boom for Governor. j Johnson,of Min
nesota as a candidate for the presidency.
This lis all the more peculiar from the
fact that while Governor johnson has
had a certain popularity in Minnesota,
yet that popularity has not been founded
on any special ability or talents of the
governor. In fact his election was at
first but huke caused by division in
the dominant party, and his second cleo
ton had that for remote cause COM
bined with the clannishness of nation
.ality.
Governor johnson may be great
statesman but 80 tar he never had any
opportunity of proving it. As distin-
guished from such men as Governor
Hughes of New York and Senator La
Toilette or Governor Folk, of Missouri,
he has newer been before the public as a
fighter of corruption or on any special
piblie issue.
Nevertheless it is evident from the
daily news that Mr.. johnson is becom-
ing SO strong rs possible, not to say
probable, candidate, that Mr.. Bryan and
his forces are evidently worried over the
prospects. AS we write the news from
Illinois is that the convention there is
very likely to be more or Less Johnson
lied.
Hence, it becomes question, why
this Johnson boom3 If it is not John
son himself, what is it? There can be
only one answer, and that is that large
number of democrats for one reason or
another are seeking another candidate
chan Mr.. Bryan. For several elections
the democrats have been short ON presi-
dental timber. Partly for the reason
that most of the democratic statesmen
come from the south, they have had but
few availables. The southern man as a
candidate would add but little strength
to the ticket. The south is naturally
democratic anyway. What they need is
man who can get enough northern
votes to swing two or more northern
states and thus give them victory-and
they have looked long for such can
didate. Mr.. Bryan was once thought to
be the man. but he has twice failed.
Naturally, the democrats fear for his
success third time.
On the other hand il Mr.. johnson
should be nominated there will be moth
!, ing in the name or fame Of the candi-
date to create that enthusiasm that is
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1908-04-24

showing who shall pay these bills and
here is where the state, county and
superintendent have locked horns.
Another complication in this matter
is that in the case of classified high
school districts the state pays for the
work out of the state school funds,
while the smaller towns with unclassi-
fed schools and the rural districts are
those which will suffer from the decision
of the county board.
