In North Dakota sent word of harm hav-

outlook as being excellent. Most of the
damage reports came from South Dakota.

Ries, the Socialistic lecturer who last
night addressed more than 800 per-

Gouged."
Mr.. Ries made his blunt dec1ara-
tion while referring to the confess
sion of the Mcnamara brothers at
Los Angeles. He told the audience
he had inside information and was
unsparing in his denunciation of the
discredited labor leaders as we'll as

Brandt Not Yet Arrested.

Although a warrant was sworn out
last Saturday, charging A. H. Brandt,
witness at the preliminary hearing of
Edward Gearlds, with perjury, he has
not yet been arrested. It is under
stood that other charges of criminal
nature have been preferred against
Brandt and that the officers of the
law in at least one other city, have
been looking for him. 1t becomes
known that following Brandt's con-
viction at Winona last September, he
was granted a parole, presumably to
aid the state in it's arson cases.

TALK FOR OPEN SCHOOLS
DR.. Smith, President, and Knute Roe,
Member, Optimistic Regarding Ev-
ening Gatherings.
BOY SALVATION POINT MADE

1t looks as if the school houses, or
at least one of them, would be opened
evenings to be used for the benefit
of the public for such entertainment
as may, and can be, provided.
DR.. E. H. Smith, president of the
Board of Education, and Knute K.
Roe, member, today publicly went
on record in favor of such move.
"We should give the public every
benefit possible from their property" "
said Mr.. Roe, "and I am frankly in
favor of opening the school buildings
if there is interest enough manifest.
More than that 1 think we should
create interest for I feel that once
the advantages of proper entertain
ments, etc., become known, there will
be no question about the wisdom of
continuing euch a plan.''
DR.. Smith. was convincing and op-
timistic He said:
"I think the idea of making the
school buildings public in the even
ings is good one if by so doing
the community at large will be bene-
fitted by it, the minds of the people
elevated to large degree on broad
er plane, and the children who spend
their evenings on the streets, smok-
ing cigarettes, discussing subjects
that they should not be allowed to
indulge in, or wandering into mis-
chievous ways, induced to spend their
time in a more elevating environ
ment.
eff the school buildings are to be
used publicly evenings, L should like
to see the opportunity for study open
to that class of young men and wom-
en- who have unfortunately been de-
prived< from schooling such as they
would like to obtain, and if the de-
mand for such courses of study would
warrant it, the expense Of instruc-
tion would be small indeed, provid-
ing the present equipment of the
SCuOOlS is SuulC1CuC. OuCu use VI Cl1c
buildings would also bring the par
ents into a closer touch with the
schools although it is doubtful
whether sufficient attraction of prop
er character can be provided, which
will hold the attention of the matur-
er class of people. However, I think
the proposition is we'll worthy of
trial, and the expense entailed would
be of minor consequence if the de-
sired results are obtained"
Most people try to be. good on the
installment plan.
