Barnes county has been accused al
times of dilatoriness in public enter.
prise, but in the completion of raising
funds for the North Dakota silver ser.
vice she has given a lesson to other
counties of the state which are really
in better position to make up their
budgets than Barnes. There is not a
county in North Dakota which could
not raise the necessary money to com
plete their share OF the fund within q
few hours if the men behind it will
just take hold and push. Two men Of
Valley City raised more than the
amount needed from Barnes county ir
less than half day, and found the
business men of the city ready to dc
their parts in redeeming North Da
kota's honor in the eyes of the ma
ton. There are still a few counties
which must raise more funds, and il
two men in each county will take q
subscription list and go out among
their fellow townsmen for few hours
they can clean up the deficit, and re
deem the state from what amounts in
fact to disgrace.

which would not be consist

official North Dakota prison organ,
The Reflector, boasts that fifty out of

amounts to parole. Under those

The effort that is being made to in
stall an agricultural department in all
schools is worthy of the hearty ap:
prevail Of everyone who is interested
in the. future welfare of the agricul-
tural interests of the state. It is with
in the recollection of the average bust
ness man when few of the teachers
who were at the heads of the schools
were able to give the legal description
of and location of the land on which
their school house was located, and
few had any conception of land de-
scription when they heard it. There
is always the danger of OVERRIDING this
when Public sentiment is aroused and
it may be done with this movement
and work an actual harm, but every
boy should have a, chance. to acquire
a working knowledge of agriculture as
we'll as of the use of ordinary tools
used in the building Of ordinary build
ings and repair work, but all of this
should be handled judiciously. There
is nothing so important as the aritht
metic, spelling and reading, which in
cludes a knowledge of words and their
use. Nothing should be introduced in
our schools, not even agriculture, to
detract from these studies, more par
ticularly in the rural districts.

A lively controversy between Edit
ors Whitehead of Bismarck and Bloom
of Devils Lake is now at a state where
the Bismarck man makes statement
that there are more gallons of liquor
sold in N. D., prohibition state than
in S. D. high license state. Without
going into the merits or dement's OF
the quarrel-which after I'll is SORT
of lovers affair it is hardly just
that such a misleading statemen:
should 60 unchallenged. If Editor
Whitehead will secure the Brewers
Year Book which is issued in the in
terests of the National Brewers AS
ISOLATION he will find on page II ap-
pendix that the brewers themselves
who it must be admitted are the last
word on the subject, make somewhat
less extravagant claim, in fact they
admit that in a group of prohibition
states the consumption per capita per
year is 135 gallons. In another group
of local option states the consumption
of liquor for each person for the same
year was 4.25 gallons. While in
group of twenty-four high license
states the consumption was 1886 gal
Ions for each person, for the same
year. Extravagant claims are and al
ways have been made against the
statewide prohibition movement by
the liquor interests and they have
gone so far, it is claimed as to in
fluence information sent out from the
government, but when the brewers
themselves send out confidential infor-
nation to be used in furthering their
own interests we must assume that it
is undeniable, undisputable fact, North
Dakota is clean, we'll governed state,
we are bringing up generation of
te-totalers and there is a very rapid
decrease in the amount of booze con-
sumed and it is unfair to the state, as
we'll as to those who are interested in

parents? And his answer is Just as
emphatic placing the responsibility
upon the neglect and Indifference of
parents, another conclusion that must
find wide approval. His experience in
the children's court has convinced him
that three-fourths Of all cases of ju-
venile delinquency may be traced d.
rectly or indirectly to parental evasion
of responsibility The same thought
must have occurred frequently to the
average newspaper reader of reports
of juvenile crime and minor offences,
just as it must have struck many who
have been shocked by the imperti-
nence of youngsters in industry or
business, who in another day would
have been soundly trounced to teach
them better Judge Ryan believes in
the maxim about sparing the rod and
spelling the child. He thinks the only
way to reform conditions is the restor-
alton of the power to inflict corporal
punishment in the schools. Not that
he believes the application would be
necessary often, but that moral sua-
sion is much more likely to be effec-
tive if supported by the power to
adopt Steiner measures when it is not
accepted in proper spirit. A school
teacher himself years ago, with power
to punish, he found, he says, it was
necessary only once to use it. The
fact that he had the power was a suf1-
cient deterrent. Nowadays the unruly
pupil, finding he can defy the teacher
with impunity, carries the same reck+
less contempt for law and authority

E. A. Greenwood, assistant dairy
commissioner, is making Valley City
his headquarters and is working out
from here and invariably when men,
ton is made Of his work over the
state the fact of his living here is
mentioned. This will in time create
the impression that Valley City is a
dairy center which in a measure is
true, but not in so large a measure
as it ought to be. In time this com
munity will come to- be recognized as a
dairy center instead of small grain
country as in the past and the sooner
that reputation becomes established
through Mr.. Greenwood's activities
and the farmers begin to live up to
that reputation the sooner the 800
per acre mark will be reached.
