WOMEN AND THE SCHOOLS.

Earl Barnes. a university extension
lecturer. deplores that 1.-The time is
coming and is not far distant when
women will be in complete possession
of the educational leadership of the
country" 1n~ferentially. he deplores
also that women ever received higher
education, because he blames the
prospect on that. At the same time
he admits 1t is remarkable and a
proof Of the superiority of women's
mind that she has made such strides
in but fifty years.
His objection to women's control of
the schools is not that which has
been SO frequently urged. that it tends
to effeminate the boys or that men
teachers are more likely to produce
manly qualities. 1t is. rather. that
women are pushing aside science;
that they al the concrete. not the
abstract: that they are NOSE concern
ed about the humanities than about
solid instruction needed to promote
material progress. What, he asks.
will become Of the future engineers.
the chemists, the architects. the in
ventors. with and their ideas
overlooking science coming into con-
troll Of the school system?
Even in the higher educational in
stitutions he finds the same trend.
Out of 600. there are 10s devoted ex-
clusively to women and 352 share
their training with women None of
the women's schools. he complains.

he cannot see the justice in that. But

are 40 for men only, 50 where is his
complaint
AS a male teacher Mr.. Barnes may
not be al unprejudiced witness. We
are still a long way from the condi-
ton he fears. and which seems to he
based on the fact that in the state of
Idaho. there is a woman state super
intendent. women county and city SUI
perintendents n women principals
and teachers except in the city Of
Boise . If the equal-pay proposition
adopted in New York city spreads.
women will no longer have the pref
erence for cheapness. 1t will then be
a question Of merit absolutely-to be
decided, by the way. by men as cor
%stituting the bulk of the educational
boards. Should women then win, it
will be because of demonstrated su-
periority-surely a contingency that
need not alarm.

MONDAY. NOVEMBER Is. 1912.
TWO OLD EDITORS QUIT.

Within the last few days two men
who have had much to do with the
newspaper history of North Dakota
have quit the fourth estate" With
the sale of the Fargo Forum H. c.
rlumley. who has been identified with
that paper since its institution in 1891.
Mr.. Plumley and Major Edwards be-
ing the sponsors of the new journal
istic venture, retired from active news
paper work. But for nearly ten years
before that time Mr.. Plumley had
been managing editor of the Argus.
n Of the Fargo papers consolidated
out of existence except as a shadow.
1t will thus I've seen that MIR. Plumley
has been actively connected with
North Dakota. Journalism for thirty
years. No man in that time can fail
Il leave his impress upon his clientele.
and especially so a man of such firm
convictions as MIR. Plumley. His in
d%ividuality has been the guiding star
Of the Forum, and whether with the
majority or minority of public senti-
ment. he has held unwaveringly to
his course Even those who did not
agree with him in editorial u%tterances
conceded him Il sincerity Of purpose
and Il fidelity to belief that took much
of the vitriol out OF the feeling be-
tween them.
T.. A. Lindstrom of the Langdon
Republican. the other veteran who has
laid aside h quill. is not so old in the
newspaper field Of the state as Mr..
Plumley. but for fourteen years he has
been a factor in the making of public
opinion. Mr.. Lindstrom has been a
man of clean ideas and wholesome
Judgment, and these have been pre-
dominant characteristics of his news
paper work. With a keen foresight
he has been able to lead in the field
of progressive private thought and
public action which have made the
last decade of the most remark
able in q century. But while progress
sive-not only in politics but in other
allowed the froth of clamor to SUBJ
merge his solid Judgment. so that he
has been a leader and at the same
time a substantial constructor.
1t is to be regretted that men like
those We are considering find it ex-
pedient to quit the field they have SO
carefully followed. North Dakota is
in the development stage and will be
so for the next half century. The
newspapers have largely made the
state what it is. and the newspapers
rave merely been the inanimate
brains of the men behind them. True,
We are doing something now besides
planting politics and raising Cain, and
the field of the exclusive political or
gan has been taken y by the news
paper with material prosperity as its
. motto. But the men who have made
the state great in the past are need
ed To make it greater in the future.
That's why men of mature minds and
clear judgments are needed to pro-
claim the states greatness to the read
ing world.

Women IN Better politics,

THE entry of into the po-
litical arena of the United States is
going to better American politics. Her
advent will mark the eradication of
gang rule and the elimination of con-
troll by that sordid element which has
the country's large cities" said Thorn
as @. Weatherspoon Of Detroit.
THE conduct Of the women voters
in all states in which they cast bal
lots in the recent election should hush
the cry that the poll is no place for
woman, while the Intelligent manner
in which they voted demonstrates the
fallacy that politics is not a woman's
sphere.
THE question of woman's suffrage
has been agitated for many years. but
1t is only recently that the question be-
came national. Yet the right of suf-
frage has been granted to women in
ten states. The movement first gained
favor in the far west. Four states
side last Tuesday, and the effete east
will surrender in the near future.
1T is woman's nature to spurn
trickery and dishonesty. Man. from
his daily contact with the sordid. be-
comes conscience-numbed to an extent
and winks at proceedings in politics
that he would MOI c~ountenance In
business life. The more intelligent
men OF the country. particularly in
the cities. nave striven to throw of
boss rule, but have usually found
themselves in the minority. with the
consequence that professional politici-
ans. preying upon the community.
have become firmly established in
power.
1.-The women voters. practically as a
whole. will enlist under the banner Of
clean government and turn the graft
ing element out TO seek an honest liv-
ing or ply their underhand trades else
where"

WHO WAS TO BLAME:

Upembina Pioneer-Express.)
The republican national committee
had it in its power to have had the
republican candidate for the president
elected.
The uncontested delegates to the
national convention at Chicago were
about equally divided between Taft
and Roosevelt. The national commit
tee had the power Of admitting such
contesting delegates as they pleased.
They pleased to lie, in a majority of
Taft delegates, which made the nomi-
nation Of Taft possible. If the COM
mittee had seen the proper policy as
the millions of the rank and file of
the party all over the country saw it.
thy would have permitted sufficient
Roosevelt delegates to enter the con-
vention to continue the deadlock and
thereby prevented the nomination Of
either Roosevelt OF Taft.
They would also have prevented, the
possibility Of Roosevelt's bolt as he
would then not have had the excuse
that the nomination was stolen from
him. It Is doubtful II Roosevelt or
Taft could have been elected II either
had run alone. Both Of them had
raised strong Personal animosities
among the voters. Mr.. Taft's course
on reciprocity and Mr.. Roosevelt's
endorsement Of that policy and the
fact that he was running for a third
term, had practically eliminated both
Of them AZ popular candidates.
Everybody else seemed to see 1t ex-
cept the national committee. The
delegates to the convention were not
much to blame as the issue was prac-
tically forced upon them by the com
mittee.
A popular orator with a popular
candidate could have stampeded that
convention to a third man almost any
time, but neither was in evidence.
The most Of the national committee.
men had been from the nature OF
their Office suppliants for and receiv-
ers Of favors at the hands Of Mr.. Taft
and particularly those from the south
ern states. and naturally they were
in favor of Mr.. Taft's reelection that
those favors might continue. and did
not take into consideration the fact
that through the nomination Of him
they might lose all patronage as it has
turned out. They simply took a per-
sonal selfish statewide view instead
Of looking over the whole country.
They have probably by this time
discovered that while they could wag
the dogs tail that the dog himself
would take care of the rest Of his
body.
