several years work under such a law
that l certainly favor it, both from the
standpoint of the principle involved
and from it's successful working. Bet

law. This is both economy and better

C. j. Waits, superintendent of the
public school of Terre Haute, Ind,
throws a good deal of light, not only
the working of the system in his
own state but upon the sources of the
opposition to the uniform text book
law. Under date of Jan, 20, 1918, he
writes as follows: I'VE feel that the
text books are good in quality and the
cost is much less than under the old
system. = / think that the COM
plants made about inferior text books
that our state board has selected are
made and suggested by publishers and
not by superintendent and teachers. 1
am strongly in favor Of state uniform
lty in common school text books but
would be opposed to uniformity in high
school texts"
In this same circular letter Miss
Johnston states that California has
abandoned the plan. Not only has CAL
ltornia not abandoned the state uni
Iormlty, but In a letter dated ian 15,
1913, the state superintendent, Mr..
hyatt, informed me the state prints it's
own books at the state printing office.
Mr.. hyatt further expresses the opin-
lon that Undoubtedly better text

selected under uniformity"
Mr.. Burchard of Grand Forks makes
the same misstatement relative to CAL
1fornta In an article in The Grand
Forks Herald for last Sunday. He also
states that the leading schoo men Of
Indiana are against 1t. That this is
another misstatement has already been
pointed out. Mr.. Burchard likewise
asserts that Kentucky repealed a uni
form text book law, the Inference in

the MISSIONARY CAMPAIGN.

There is a big object lesson in the
simple fact of the missionary campaign
that was ~inaugurated in Fargo yester-
day. 1t is a lesson for those who are
not familiar with present day mission
airy work. This lesson is to be CLEAN
ed from the fact that while this cam
paign was inaugurated and Is entirely
under the auspices of one denOmina-
tion-the Presbyterians-au Of the
other protestant evangelical churches
find 1t possible to unite in the cam
paign. Moreover members Of other
churches will probably learn nearly as
much about their OWL missions in for
eign lands as they will about the Pres
byterian work.
In missionary work it has been found
that the world is big enough for each
denomination to expend all it's energy
on the mission field, without duplicat-
ing territory very much and without
any clash or friction.
The object of this campaign is to
bring home to the people of America
the needs n the benefits of foreign
missionary work.
Dr.. Bradt answered a common criti-
cism Of foreign missionary work in a
very clever manner at the First Meth
odist church last night. He said that
while there are hell holes in America,
that with it's splendid civilization and
its millions Of fine christian homes. the
dark spots were so out-numbered and
over balanced that they were negligible.
On the other hand the terrible misery
and the fearful conditions Of heather
lands are sc appalling that those who
have lived under those conditions are
thoroughly imbued with the need for
sending them christianity

FEDERAL LIQUOR LEGISLATION.

The Webb bill, pending in the house,
and the Kenyon-Sanders bill, pending
in the senate. which are practically
the same, with the exception OF the
Sanders amendment in the senate bill,
which grants to the states police pow
ers yer all shipments prohibited by
the act, now seem to be in good form
and favor for passage.
The Webb bill has been reported
favorably to the house by the judici-
airy committee by the vote of II to 8
and under special rule was taken up
for consideration. All attempts to
weaken or impair the bill by amend
ment have been unavailing, and it
goes to the home in It's carefully pre-
pared fern.
The senate has fixed today as the
date for h final vote on the Kenyon
Sanders bill, and the supporters of
the Webb bill are trying to get con-
current action in the house.
This legislation, with the minor diff
ferences in the two bills adjusted, pro-
hibits the shipment of liquor for sale
or any other purpose where its sale
has been made illegal by the laws of
those states. The federal law, as pro-
vided for in the bills pending, will not
designate what the violations are, but
merely stands behind the state laws
to prohibit the shipments which by
the state laws are declared to be il
legal.
In North Dakota the laws forbid
either the sale or the manufacture of
liquor, n the prospective federal
legislation, IL enacted, will make it
unlawful for liquor to be shipped from
any other state into n portion of
this state.
The federal government will enforce
this law. rs it enforces all it's laws.
vigorously and effectively, and as a
result the unlawful dealers will have
a hard time of it when they come to
reple1fsh their stock of liquors. for
they must buy within the state or else
they will have Uncle Sam to deal with
In their defiance of the statutes.
With such a law in full force and
effect 1t cannot now be seen how the
liquor traffic, operated as it now is in
defiance of the law, can long continue
unless distilleries are opened for the
manufacture of the outlawed prod
