new IDEALS FOR
this CENTURY
DR.. TRUE SEES VAST CHANGE IN
SOCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
DEMOCRACY COMING AS RE-
SUIT or AGITATION FOR Ao-
RicuLTuRAL EDUCATION.

As result OF the great movement
for industrial and especially agricul-
tural education all over the country.
DIR. A. G. True OF washington. who
spoke at the A. G. armory last eve
ming, sees big change coming along
social and industrial lines. This win
be the work OF the twentieth century.
Dr. True showed how the eighteenth
century wass marked by a great
sweeping change toward personal
liberty, how the nineteenth century
achieved almost universal literacy
and how this century bade fair to
achieve a new social democracy. This
change was being wrought through the
agricultural college. through the ex-
perimental station and in the increas-
ed enthusiasm for scientific research
along agricultural lines.
This research was resulting already
in the TRANSFORMATION Of great barren
stretches of the country into areas Of
wonderful productivity. The barren
lands OF the New England states un-
der the right kind Of treatment were
now becoming very valuable and the
supposedly barren lands of the west.
under scientific and careful treatment
were going through the same process
All this goes toward realizing the
ideals Of social and industrial democ-
racy which will be evolved in this CEN
tury 1t means that the country will
become a place where people viii be
glad to live. They will be furnished
with cleaner amusements and a more
wholesome life than can possibly be
AFFORDED in the densely packed cities
and in this way a new national life
will be brought out.
DR.. True has charge Of all United
States experimental stations and in
a practical way he is doing as much
or more than any other one man in
the United States to bring about a
realization Of his own ideals. He left
today for Spokane, Wash, where he
will attend the great national irriga.-
tfon congress.

TRIBUTE TO STANLEY
Bishop Mann In North Dakota Sheaf
Takes Occasion to Speak of De-
ceased PreIate's Worth.

Above his own signature, Bishop
Mann of the Protestant Episcopal
church, North Dakota, expresses the
following sincere tribute to the late
Bishop Stanley in the August issue
of The North Dakota Sheaf which was
published this afternoon:
Bishop shaniey. gs.
The death of the Rt Rev. John
Shanley, d. D., Roman Catholic bishop
of Fargo, demands sorrowful mention
from every paper devoted to the inter
ests Of North Dakota.
For some twenty years he held his
high position, not simply with jealous
and skillful toll for the advancement
of his own church, but with large
and loyal service to the state.
In the onward and upward move
ments for material and moral improve
ment he has been leading figure
notably, in the overthrow of the shame
less facilities for divorce, once in our
statutes.
It is a pleasure for me to say that
my personal relations with Bishop
Stanley were ever most agreeable. He
was one of the first citizens of Fargo
TO call upon me, and extend hearty
greetings, when / arrived In North
Dakota. During the last seven years
we have met frequently on railway
trains and elsewhere and always for
cordial conversation. His reminis-
censes of the early days of his resi-
dence in North Dakota were amusing
and instructive, and his confidence as
to the future of the state was inspir-
ing.
With deep regret recognize that
/ shall not again on this earth see his
kindly face and hear his CHEEKY voice.
1t Is, of course, not for me to offer
any consoIing words to his bereaved
people But as a citizen of North Da-
kota-and speaking, am sure, for a
host of other citizens and also as a
friend. l wish to say thus publicly my
"Requiescat in pace"
