to the teachers. The lecture of DIR.
Stoly was specially well-fnished and IN
structive.
County Superintendent Jones was
very much pleased with the success of
the Institute. particularly with the large
attendance-apd also very tired at the
adjournment after her three days hard
work in looking after everything. Miss
Jones is proving very popular with the
teacher tribe.
The exhibitions of school work were
very fine, and it is pity that there was
not more general opportunity for ex-
animation because of the many other
matters going on most of the time.

it will be summer time, when Pembina

vas, call US liars, thieves and everything
else they thought they could get voters
to believe, we admit that we are so
built we resent such abuse, we take it
as direct insult, and one that only the
meanest poltroon would accept without
resentment. There are insults that no
decent man can ever forgive and respect
himself.
There are limits, even in a heated
political fight, that no man should trans
gress-and that no real man will trans
gress. In the exposition of two weeks
ago we reviled none, we only presented
fgures-and left the reader to make his
own conclusions. IT that is "personal
spite" then it is at least a very mild
lorm.
But it remains, that the Pioneer Ex-
press figures were and are true, while
the other figures were-purposely mis-
leading, as shown by the squirms Of the
Crow-nickle to explain them. At the
very best. the Cavalier committee said
we could build a court house by bond
ing for only $4,000 while the Crow
nickle says the people wanted a
100000 building. Then even in that
case the Cavalier committee we're utter

tiff. to crafty his own personal spite"

NOTES..

The Teachers Institute held in this
Hc<,y last week was attended by larger
number of teachers than at similar
gathering for many years, if not greater
than any previous.
There were nearly seventy.fve teach
ers enrolled on the register while there
we're quite number from other places
like Kittson county, MINI. who were
not registered.
The teachers and instructors COM
menced arriving on Wednesday and
some of them did not leave for home un-
til Saturday afternoon though the
regular exercises began on Thursday
evening and closed Friday afternoon.
The general program is given by
Secretary Pleasant, but there are quite
a number of side issues that he does not
find in his regular routine duties to re-
port.
While from the nature of their busi-
ness the teachers were mostly of the
gentler sex, yet contrary to the general
opinion. in this case they were all good
looking-but that augurs i'll for the con-
tinuance of the same in the teaching
profession and we might add that is
one bad (good) feature of the profession
of teaching when taken up by such at
tractive young ladies.
Pembina people opened their hospit.
able homes to all who came and would
have been pleased to entertain as many
more if they had come.
The social session after the "Song
Recital of Prof. Norton was very
pleasantly occupied informally and was
prolonged until some time later in the
night by a dance -and the next night
they danced again-and if some of tho
ladies looked little tired and sleepy
when they arrived home the next morn.
ing-blame it to the hard work of the
regular sessions.
The recital of Song and Oratorio" by
Prof. Norton on Tuesday evening was a
musical treat, as we'll as full of musical
information. 1t was greatly enjoyed by
large audience. One explanation was
made caused by the error of this writer,
who thought Prof. Norton was connected
with Wesley College, and SO made it on
the programs. Mr.. Norton, while he
working in harmonv With tho ,,us;o.,

only connected as teacher and manager

CONVENTIONS,
INSTITUTES, ETC

And about this time of year we begin
to see and hear of the conventions. insti-
tutes, and of the meetings of various
other 'tions and 'tutes and country edi-
tors are asked to advertise them.
The underlying idea of "getting to-
gether" for the general good is good,
provided it is not altogether an under.
lying idea.
Conventions are good thing for the
large cities. Every delegate usually
pays quite a hotel bill, pays some rail-
road fare. buys something for the home
folks, spends little for cigars, etc. Any
delegate who can go a hundred miles
stay two or three days at convention
and have any change left for the Sun
day contribution box out of twenty. five
dollars-is economical.
Hence the chief promoters of these
meetings are the Commercial Clubs of
the larger cities. The "hence" is self
evident.
And these promoters" find the aver.
age little towDsman an '.easy mark.
Lots of men who can't oct money enough
ahead to pay their store.bills manage to
find enough small change to attend "the
convention The word delegate"
seems to fit almost any head that wears
a hat from 6A to 71s in size-or hat
from the close turban shape to the wide
spreading "Gainsborough"-for the
ladies are also delegates, sometimes.
As we have already insinuated, con-
ventions are Of some good to somebody.
Very often the delegate gets some good
himself. Most Of these conventions are
provided beforehand with speakers Of
more or less national notoriety," etc.
Once in while one of these says some.
thing. But most of them are men with
fads, men with hobbies, almost always
men who are seeking notoriety, political
or otherwise-or il not. then the dele
gates who are listening learn that they
can buy book. or subscribe for paper,
or can purchase q machine at q very
reasonable price. etc.
It certainly makes the undersigned
tired to listen to an orator for half an
hour and then discover that hs has been
using and abusing the privileges Of tho
platform for private gain.

and teachers insitutss arc not always

"PERSONAL SPITE."

There are some people who have so
little sense of honor in themselves that
they can have no conception of what it
means to other people. Persons like
these may be liars, called thieves,
or any other name denoting an unsavory
character, without resentment or even
protest.
The parsonage that presides over the
Cavalier Chronicle appears to be one of
these. He claims that when one is "spit
upon on Wednesday last and another
time was called dog' that he should
show in whispering humbleness and in
bondsman's key" say "for these courtes-
les I'll lend you thus much monies" in
taxes, and say thank you in the bargain.
According the say-so of Mr.. u. N.
Fair Child that is the only proper thing
to do,-and logically that is what he
would do under like circumstances.
That is the kind of sardlne he Is accord
ing to his own religion.
Anyone who displays any resentment
after being called liar shows personal
Spite says the Crow. nickle-even tho he
simply brings facts and figures to prove
what he said was the truth.
Now what worries that gospel of
peace" chap over in the ''center of the
county" is that the exposition in the is-
sue of the Pioneer Express Of two weeks
ago. brings Inevitably two propositions:-
One is that the Pioneer Express told the
truth as to the probable cost of the re-.
moval-and the other is that the Grow.
nickle and other Cavalier people didn't.
They called the editors of this paper
liers, but if this paper is correct then
what is the proper designation Of the
other people? Now We did not put up
this combination. We made certain
statements and they were denied as lies.
We were right. The situation is up to
the other fellows. They made it.
