the candidacy of Mr.. Clark was first
suggested by admirers outside his

Speaker Of the House of Repre-
sentstives, strong leader whom
it might be well to place at the
head of the national ticket. The
situation was one that needed to
be handled delicatcly and with dis
creton, and allowed to work out
its own solution. With his con.
ventiOnal Endorsement, which his
sponsors contend is binding on the
State though many
with reason hold that it is not
Mr.. Folk right to an instructed
delegation from this State ought
to have been conceded without
question. If the demand for Mr..
Clark throughout the coun try
should become so insistent and
universal as to demand his nomi-
nation, the convention would take
cognizance Of it and the Folk-in-
structed delegation from this State
after seeing that Mr.. Folk could
not secure the nomination would

demand of this character should

That is the view we expressed
when the signs of this agitation
began to show themselves; also
that such agitation could not result
otherwise than in fractional bicker-
ings, elimination and recrimina-

the men themselves. We regre,
that our views and fears have beer

fetal public feeling is pitched to
critical tension here today as the re-.
suit Of the United States action in
connection with the Jewish passport
question, and expressions are freely
made that the efforts Of the Ameri.
can Government to "bludgeonn Rus
STA, as it is termed here, into accept,
ancc OF her demands, must lead, II
persisted in, to II parting of the
ways, commercially ut least, be.
tween the two nations.
From private sources 1t is learned
that Russian oiIicialdom, from the
Gar down, Is almost a unit in its
opposition to granting any conces.
sion from Russia's traditional stand
on the Jewish passport question.
The Cars reply to President
Taft's notification of abrogatiOn of
the treaty of 1852 will be simply n
reiteration of Russians former an
swers to interpretations on this sub
ject, II is emi-ofiicially stated.
Dominant classes here are giving
vent to open expressions of anti
Americanism and Taft Is being held
up as politician, who is attempt.
ing to make political capital in his
own country out of all international
question.
In circles where anti-American
feeling Is strongest, the opinion is
being expressed that Russia should
make no new treaty with the United
States, II the 1882 istrument Is al
lowed to lapse. 1t is pointed out
that under those circumstances the
Russian Government would not be
bound nor restricted in carrying out
Its national policy toward Jews by
a treaty with that country. II Is al
so pointed out that the United States
sells nothing which Russia cannot
buy from other markets SO that Rus.
sian commerce would receive no set
back, while that Of America would
suffer heavily.

Domestic Science Department
of Valley City Normal

The new hall of the industrial arts
Of the Valley City Normal will be dedi-
Gated with the opening of the winter
term in January. There will be
houseWarming of some sort and the
educators of the state will be invited
as well as the friends of the institution
in this locality.
The recently established department
of domestic science, Miss Farnsworth
IN charge, will occupy modernly
equipped quarters in this building.
The mission Of this department may
lot be thoroughly understood by the
public; it was established and is
maintained by the institution for the
Du pose of training domestic science
ter chsls for the schools of North Da-
kota.
The course is strong one and re-
quires two full years for its compile
ton. In addition to the special sub
jects of sewing and cooking, thor
ough course in science is required, in
Guiding chemistry, physics, physico-
logy, economics and biology, as we'll as
full professional course in teaching.
The pupil is taught a complete knowl-
edge of dietetics, household manage
ment, home nursing, textiles and dress
making.
Luncheons and dinners are planned,
! hu
Careful attention is paid to household
accounts. The pupils are required to
accurately compute the cost of every
pie, cake and batch Of doughnuts, and
in preparing and serving meal, its
absolute cost per plate is ascertained
All foods are sold and the proceeds
used to pay for the material used ir
the kitchen. Food is prepared for E
small family, say Of four, and never ir
minutely small quantities. This gives
the knowledge gained by the pupil {
very practical nature as in life one
will be required to cook for a family
and not to demonstrate the art O
cooking
The laws of the state require tina
domestic science be taught in thu
schools of the state. The Valley Cit.
\ Normal is making every effort to hon
estly meet this requirement.
The corps of teachers is able an
the work is being done in Thorough
and modern manner. The department
has grown rapidly and has turned gu
one class of graduates, most of whom
have received positions. Their wor]
is being highly commended by thei
several superintendent and rank
with the work of those trained at tech
nical schools.
The department of Domestic Sci
ence is one of the most popular in tn
Normal and the people of this vicinit.
are all becoming enthusiastic for 1T
work and there is no question but tina
it is unsurpassed in Importance b!
any branch of modern training.
