GOOD TIME IN koTrE VALLEY,

Norwich, N. D., Dec. %, 1913
Editor: I feel that. I must tell you
about the great entertainment that
we had in school No. of Kottke
Valley township, on the Goth Of this
month. It was Z success from the be-
ginning to the end. Most Of the
credit must BE given the teacher,
Miss Nellie Pailthorp, who is to my
notion the best teacher that we have
had since the school was started
about twelve years ago.
She is working not for the salary
alone, but for the welfare of the
school, which plainly shows in the
short time that she has taught this
school. 1t is not always the high
st makes she best teach
or, but it is more often ones personal
efforts for the welfare Of the school.
The dialogue. "The Christmas
Pony" was very successful. Every
one did his part excellently. The re-
citation by little 5-yearold Laurits
Olson was especially worthy Of con.
sideration. His recitation was en-
titled. Little Jack Horner." II was

The American people seem to have
elected another fighting president. In
a statement issued last week and In
an address In New York Mr.. Wilson
challenged the enemies Of the public
welfare. and made his appeal dtrect-
ly to the people.
1t is the right sort Of talk. There
is no use fooltng with the Tory
forces. They must be fought. Ap.
parently the president-elect realizes
that. He isn't afraid Of the real
thing.
People like the leadership of a
lighting man. They showed this by
their confidence in Cleveland and
Roosevelt. Wilson can depend on
the same backing il he makes the
same fight for the square deal that
they made. A president Of the
Cleveland-Roosevelt type 10 what this
nation has been looking for.
In the last campaign Roosevelt had
the support of 100000 voters who
believed in the things he stood for.
This powerful militant force belongs
to any leader who represents eject.
lively the cause Of human rights.
Progressives of all parties would
be untrue to their ideals ii they fail
ed to get behind a president who
was fighting for their things. Their
only purpose is to put into effect the
policies they believe in. The label
OF the instruments they use makes
DO difference.
The new presidents heads a divided
party. He will need all the help he
can get outside the Democratic ranks
if he is to accomplish what he has in
view for the public welfare.-Kansas
