SCHOOL DAYS

At the Opera House tomorrow mat
inee and night Manager Dudley an
nounces production of the most fam
GUS of all plays to bring back the
days of childhood, Schools Days" and
it is readily understood why this play
is making such tremendous success
when one stops to consider that with
almost every man, woman and chill
the school days are the happiest, and
many of us wish we could live them
over again. 1t is a play taken from
the school house and transplanted to
the stage, and instead of the strict
discipline of the schoolroom, we have
a little music, song and dance blend
ed together in such a manner that
even the old schoolmaster can find
no excuse for using the ruler and
joins in the gala day gambol with the
children.
There will be two performances Of
School Days" a matinee at o'clock
sharp and the night curtain at $3.50.
There will be no delay at the matinee
as the company arrives today. Prices
have been reduced for the matinee Just
half Csc, SOC and 75c. All school
children 25c.--Advertisement.

The fact is brought out in state statis-
tics as being compiled for the North
Dakota blue book of 1918, that Cavalier
county with a population of 1859. has
cast a proportionately bigger vote at
the last general election than any of its
compeers of the northern part of the
state. In the forty-seven precincts
within the county. Cavalier cast 2,457
votes for governor. A much larger vote
in proportion to population than either
Pembina or Walsh counties.

Langdon people and old friends gener-

that the candidacy of Hon.
Fred W. Mclean for the United States
m~arshalship of North Dakota will be
given favorable consideration by Presi-
dent Wilson. The position is a good
one, sought after by many, but if ade-
quate returns is being made by the party
for years of faithful untiring service
rendered, then the reward has been
honestly earned by Fred Mclean. whose
aggressive democracy has been in the
forefront on the campaign firing line in
North Dakota since the earliest days of
statehood. We hope he gets it.

The North Dakota railroad, aspur line
running from the Ct. Northern at Edin-
burg 70 the mines of the Portland
Cement Cos, plant at Concrete is
apparently still looked upon as likely
to become a connecting line between the
500 and the Canadian Pacific at the
international boundary, by some people
despite the fact that for some months
past it has been abandoned and traffic
discontinued. That this is an actual
fact WAS disclosed only the. other day
by the report that a farmer, who lives
within a few miles of Edinburg parted
with a team of horses in exchange for
stock in the North Dakota railroad
company and had a hard time getting
his neighbor to transfer his railroad
stock for the team.

President Wilson has made it clear
that he will not look with favor on the
idea of any relative of his seeking public
position under his administration. A
cousin of the president, seeking a posi-
ton under the war secretary received
a rude shock when informed that the
executive did not wish any relative ap-
pointed to Office. The presidents own
brother was forced to withdraw from the
race for secretary of the senate, Woodrow
Wilson himself, according to report,
compelled the action. The brother is
said to be exceptionally we'll qualified
for the position, and his own senator
asked whether a man had TO be punish
ed and prevented from receiving his just
dues just because his brother was presi-
dent. Nevertheless President Wilson's
attitude is a right one. and while his
example is not followed by many politi.
clans, it will, commend itself to right
thinking people. The average office.
holder seems to think it is his right to
take care of his family. But it is a
lowered moral sense that permits a man
to view his duty in this way. No man
has the right to pay his personal debts
at the expense of the people, and in
order to avoid the very appearance Of
evil it is essential that the rule be
vigorously observed. 1t is too bad thai
President Wilson's brother has lost 6
chance that seemed his on merit, but he
is merely the victim of a system e~ntirel,
proper in the theory. which happened tt
be a little unfair in practice in one lsolat
ed case. He will not, however, be in
clined to regret that his W misfortune
rebounds to the credit Of his more dis
tinguSShed brother.

Since October Goth, or more than five
months ago, the ground has been cover
ed with snow. 1t may also be noted that
the state was visited with one of the
most severe snow storms or billiards of
the season on Easter Sunday, March
23rd and spoilt all chances of the antici-
pated Easter millinery display. On
Easter Monday morning the thermome-
ter showed an extreme low temperature
of l20 below zero. The opening of spring
was heralded by storms of wind and
snow, extending over the states of
illinois, Wisconsin. Missouri, Michigan,
Indiana, Ohio and Arkansas. And in
the more southern states, the high
winds advanced to the proportions of
violent tornadoes, resulting IN loss of
life and property.
