VINCENS EFT VINCTURUS
By
ARLENE CAMPBELL

For the things that we've been striving
In this race that we have run,
We are all supremely happy
In the fact that we have won.
And as now the end approaches,
AS our senior year is DONE
We will never; more regret it
For this reason: "We have won"
But from high school we're just starting,
And our hardest trials light
When compared with lifes great problems;
But We'll come out in the right.
For we'll not sit down in silence:
We have really just begun;
And must now renew efforts;
We shall win as we have won
Forward we must guide our footsteps
To the highest goa and then,
If we make our strongest efforts
can see no way but win.
Yet in all lives there are shadows
Ever some must conquered be;
But twill only urge us higher,
On and on to victory.
And if sometimes we're discouraged,
Forlorn- doubted of all men,
1t will always make us brighter,
Thinking: I'VE have won and we will win.
So may each and every classmate
Who with me life will begin >
Keep and treasure up our motto
We have won and we will win"

 There is mourning in the Hopi village ot Moen-copi these days over the death of Mai-wee, the village queen, who has been i'll for some time and died on March 25, funeral services being held the following day. Mai-wee was well along toward becoming cen- tenarian, although her exact age was not known. For a number of years all matters ot government in connection with the village over which she reigned, were in the hands of her son, Frank Scum ptewa, who now succeeds to full power. The latter speaks fairly good English and like Mai-wee, is a great friend of the white people. The deceased queen was small of stature, being only about four feet in height, and since fall sustained few years ago, has been able to get about very little. Her two-story house one of the very few in the village was the mecca of every sight-seer, and whether she was able to get about or not, Mai-wee always had a pleasant smile and a cheery word of welcome for the visitor. She was adept at basket and placque weaving and worked at this right up to the time of her death.

Easy Mark Editors

EdSy WdIA EultVIS
We have come to about the
same conclusion as the Fargo
Forum as to printing of POLITICAL
dope. Our candidate for president
was given big majority which
pleased us very much but more
strenuous campaign is coming OH
and politics will be the main
theme from now until after the
June primaries. The Forum
wants to see the editors get their
share of the returns for what they
publish and comments as follows:
The public, generally, regards
the average editor as the easiest
mark in the community. There is
whole lot more truth than poetry
in the charge. This is especially
true Of politics.
North Dakota has just gone
through presidential preference
primary campaign. While it is
true the campaign generally has
! lacked either the enthusiasm or
the bitterness that has marked
former political scrimmages-at
the same time every editor in the
state has given up column after
column of perfectly good space
and some of them hundreds of
columns and for what?
What boots i: to the average
North Dakota tsIitor whether Taft,
Roosevelt or LaFollette carries
the state? Whats the excitement
all about? Why should the editor
give for nothing to a political
cause or to political candidates the
space for which he makes business
advertisers pay large sums? Why
should an editor be expected to do
Iit-unless for his general reputa-
ttion as an easy mark?
If the editor. would not make a
fetish of politics if he did not
enshrine politics as something
privileged; something wholly in q
class by itself he would not even
be expected to be SO prodigal in
his space and certainly would not
have to.
Why not give politics the rea .
sonable amount of news space 70
which it is entitled-just like a
wreck, su epidemic Of the measles.
tie whooping cough or some other
calamity?
just because Taft. Rooevelt OF
LaF Toilette wants to occnpy the.
White House and draw $4,000
annually for salary and $25,OU for
expenses why shonld the editors
Of the country give SO many
thousands Of dollars in space SO
many tons Of energy for nothingY
There are certain principles for
which the public mud individuals
must stand. These can be best adj
vanced BY calm and serious dis
cussion. No great advantage will
be gained BY hysterioal agitation.
Bnt the average editor quickly

Dear Mr.. Stanley:
