Bladet bismarck Tribune har

The only argument that Is used
against County Superintendent Wig
ness by the gentleman who aspires to
take this place, is that Vigness has
had the office a long time and that he
ought to allow it to "pass around" SO
as to give others a "chance." The
voters should carefully consider the
force Of this argument in connection
with offices relating to education. 1t
may be all right when 1t comes to
offices of a clerical nature. but when
it comes to school work it is all wrong.
Further, the argument Is always
used by the politician to secure office;
but no sincere and earnest school man
will ever use it to supplant another
school man. He knows that it Is not
to the best educational interests OF
any county, city or school district to
have frequent changes in the school
management. But it is always differ
emit with the Office seeker who wants
the Office for the livelihood there may
be in 1t.
Superintendent Vigness can be re-
tanned In the county superintendent
office for the following reasons:
1. His thorough knowledge OF the
school conditions in all parts Of Bur-
leigh county.
2. His experience and sound judg-
ment have demonstrated eminent fit
ness for the duties OF his Office.
8. He Is In position to render the
county and the state valuable service
In the framing and improving of the
school legislation. A new man would
have no weight and would be helpless
In this work for several years.
4. He has always shown prompt
ness and accuracy in the handling Of
the funds and In dealing with inan-
cial and other affairs OF the various

5. He has travelled over twenty-five
thousand miles In Burleigh county in
the performance of his work and
knows the conditions in nearly every
home in the county.
G.. He is held in universal esteem
by every progressive and earnest
teacher under his supervision but he
has no patience with the drones who
will not improve as teachers. He Is
always disposed to give prospective
teachers all possible chance until he
is satisfied that they a not secure a
&C certificate. Some say he Is too lenient
in this matter, but confidence can be
placed In his Judgment in that respect.
7. He is a man who studies his
work from all sides and will not
swerve from his position for personal
or political gains. He will rather be
right than be county super intendent,
8. His character is absolutely above
reproach. His integrity unquestioned,
his honesty is I'VE doubted.
8. He is just as you see him, open,
frank, courteous and always willing
to help.
1t no doubt would be a serious
handicap to the best interests of the

The Foolish Parent.

Those enlightened publiciStS AND
thinkers who urge that the parents
arrive at an early and sympathetic
understanding with the child regard
ing mysteries of nature which must,
in time be solved in one way or anoth-
err, will find powerful argument in
support of their position In the story
told by Florence Molz, the II year
old girl who astounded the police of
New York with her weird and won
derous lies in connection with the
murder Of her little playmate, Julia
ConnorS.
This little girl, morbidly interested
in the fate OF her chum, delayed the
police several the arrest Of several
days in their hunt for the murderer
and caused the arrest OF several in
nocent men by telling the most re-
markable chain of falsehoods the
police have listened to in many a day.
Her short-lived but eventful orgy of
untruths was only terminated by
the appearance of her mother with
threats of a good spanking. After
confessing that she had fabricated
her whole story, the little girl broke
down and cried bitterly. With rare
understanding in one so young, she
arrived at the cruX Of the whole
situation by fastening the blame for
her detection upon her mother.
Every time, she said, she asked her
mother a question regarding certain
facts in life which her childish mind
could not comprehend, she was told
to run out and play. Some older girl
outside, whose flirtatiuns were the
envy OF the other children, invariably
supplied the information the child
craved aud which her mother denied
her. To a police matrom the little
girl told this story:
III often asked mamma to explain
things to me, but she always said /
was too young to talk about those
things, or else she would scold me for
even speaking of them, so was
afraid to talk to her about them for
fear she would whip me; and then
some older girls told me lots of things
l didn't know and they used TO go to
the parks with boys and asked me to
go with them. At first / was afraid,
| didn't know why. The girls used to
tell us of the different men who gave
them money and wanted to kiss
too, and when they didn't 1 told the
policeman THAT they had and l told
him lots of things that they did
which we're not true at ALL"
What an appalling Indictment of a
mother. And yet, this mother was
Frustrated when she learned that her
little girl had lied almost past belief,
to the police. The mother was ignor-
ant, densely so, of her obligations to
her child. What mother would not
prefer to teach her own children the
things they should know, and which
eventually they will know, rather
than to have them get the informa-
ton which Is their due In the streets?
Providential, indeed, was little
Florence Molz's escapade with the
police. for her mother may take her
into her confidence now and other
mothers who have been delinquent IN
their duty to their children, may
take the lesson home.-Sioux Falls

Roosevelt Victories.

The victories OF Theodore Roosevelt
are not always expressed In majorities
q the BALLOT box. He has won some
OF the greatest moral victories OF any
American stateman past or present.
TO the extent that he bravely dared
the forces back Of Lorfmer and was a
pioneer In taking an unyielding stand
against the corruption that put him
Ia ONCE, ~centering public attention
on this political crime by his spec
tacular dictum to the Hamilton club,
and BY his later vigorous speeches
and writings, the 0usting Of Lorimer
from tho Senate. Is his victory.
Mr.. Roosevelt has rare intuition In
decerning the right and separating
the true from the false. But his
power Of emphasis Is his most strik-
Ing quality, and makes him = valuable
leader 10 : cause which touches the
hearts Of the people. As q reactionary
he would but serve to emphasize the
s~elfiahness OF the interests. Had he
less Of conscience OF patriotism he
would be the leader Of the republican
contemporary Of Tammany Hall In
the state OF New York, and he would
haveled It to the despair OF Tammany.
Choosing to take sides with the
people and against the interests. bis
wonderful power Of emphasis has
brought the great American contest
20 : head, perhaps years before it
otherwise could have arrived. Under
: less aggressive leader the dictum OF
the bosses at Chicago might have
been accepted as II has been In the
past.
But Roosevelt writes the issues on
the high heavens. He makes straight
the paths through the political. wilder
nsas. He points out the way to the
peOple and bids them choose, never
doubting that with vision cleared
they viii choose Alright. He correctly
states the problem and then It Is q
simple matter for the people to solve

Yet he II never found complaining

A Puzzler.

The proprietor Of a lanyard was
anxious to fix a suitable sign to his
premises. Finally a happy thought
struck him. He bored a hole through
the door post and stuck a calf's tail in
to it, with the tufted end outside.
After a while he saw a solemn faced
man standing near the door looking
at the sign. The tanner watched
him a minute and then stepped out
and addressed him.
"Good morning, sir" he said
"Good morning." said the other,
without taking his eyes off the sign.
"Do you want to buy leather" asked
the tanner.
