time was devoted to discussions and
he answered many questions until 1t
was time to adjourn for dinner. a
The meeting after dinner was op-
ened by another selection by the
Bowbells orchestra and this was fol-
lowed by vocal music by the glee
club Of the city school. .., -,. 4
The principal address of the
meeting was that delivered by A. G.
Crane, president OF the Minot
State Normal School,. Mr.. Crane
has made life study of school
work and was In every way prepar-
ed to. handle subjects Of interest to
the school men of Burke county.
He spent some time in the telling
of the necessity of having rural
schools well heated and ventilated,
the best systems in use today, ex-
planned and gave reasons why the
boards should pay more attention
to their equipments, and also the
teachers they employed, and also
the building in which the pupils
had to spend many days each year..
He stated that he did not expect
the various boards to put in several
thousand dollars in equipment in
any one year, but that if few hun
dred dollars were properly expend-
ed every winter it would be short
time before the school could be plac-
ed in the very best of condition. He
urged that the boards pay more at
tention to their schools, and not let
them take care of themselves.
Mr.. Crane further gave the audi
ence statistics showing our rank
with, other states farther east, the.
per- cent of attendance, cost of
maintainance, increase in rural
rural schools, and consolidation. He
was very much in favor of consolid-
ating wherever possible the rural
schools, and explained that one
teacher in a school with ten or
twelve pupils and as many grades
was unable to do near as good
work as the one with many times
that number of pupils and two to
four grades. He stated that in
consolidating it would probably
make it: too Tar for some of the pu7e
pills to attend the school if COM
PEELED to walk, but that the district
would find 1t profitable PROPOSE
tion to employ someone to haul the
children to and from school.
Mr. Cranes talk was to the
point all the way through. and
since the meeting =. The Tribune
heard many school officers compli-
ment him on the way he explained
things and offered suggestions.
President Thos., Rierson Of the Min
nesota school district told us that
he doubted If there was an, officer
present who did not leave the meet
ing without determination to go
home and put that school In better
shape. ,sr,5 ,.j. r.. x,
The roll call came next at which
each school officers name was call
ed and he in turn rose and gave a
short talk on. the improvements
made In, his district during the past
year. Next came a discussion OF
the school laws and then the meet
ing adjourned. .5,-

The Jap and War

The present controversy over anti
Japanese legislation in California
brings with it the usual amusing tea
ture OF a threat OF immediate war.
Imaginative correspondents cable ac-
counts OF the bellicose attitude OF the
Japanese people and the heoric ef-
tort Of their government 10 cool their
ardor. II some OF these reports are
To be believed, a Japanese fleet will
ravage the Pacific coast some time
next week and take possession OF
everything west OF the Sierra Ne
vadas, and at about the same time
the Philippines and the Hawaiian
islands will also become prizes of
war.
Everybody knows, and our war de-
partment best Of all, that the Japan
csc can take the Philippines when
ever they get ready, and with inf
nitcly less trouble than we could take
the Mexican end Of the bridge at FL
Paso, Texas. But the important
point is that they are not ready, and
are not likely to be. OF all military
powers Japan is most anxious to
avoid war, and has the least to gain
by it and the most to lose.
For Japan is now as near bank
ruptcy as it could be and still pay its
running expenses. 1t is a country OF
small and d~ensely over
under a burden Of taxation which
would be uncomfortable in America, or
even in Europe, where ext%ortionate
taxes are not unknown Japan was
compelled 10 end the war with Rus
STA before its victory was complete
because it had no money 10 continue
since then has been a succession OF
new bond issues. Even now the gov
eminent is attempting to float a new
loan in Paris.
War with the United STATES would
be even costlier than it was with
Russia because of the immense dis
lance Of the japanese army and navy
from their base OF operations, and ii
would last much longer because OF
the superior II OF this coun-
try. We may be sure that Japan is
not going to war because the Cali
iornia legislature enacts laws dis
eliminating against its people-at
least 10 unless the issue becomes
vastly more acute than it is now.

that the society must be a beggar.
The Mail at the same time goes the
limit on suggestion, As it believes
that instead OF sending the white

tray or subjecting them to a fine,

Work Enough

The proposed legislation OH the
Panama Canal tolls and other such
matters will be dead ones for the
special session of Coingress now in
action. By a committee vote of Is
TO ! it was decided that if the pres
ent congress could get over the tariff
wall and through the banking and
financial laws that a sufficient
amount of legislation would have
been accomplished. From the haste
made up to the present IT seems that
the tariff alone will be about work
enough. as there has been over a
months talk and no bill passed.

Militant Women

1t is everywhere said, and with
hnalty, that American women must
dIsown and rebuke the methods of
til, Pankhurst faction in England.
Equal suffrage must come through
steady continuance in the course
heretofore followed in this country.
Nor is it sufficient to refuse to aid
or endorse the English militants.
They must be read out OF the en-
tire movement in all countries. or the
evil which they do will live long after
they are dead. Not by violence, not
by breaking the laws. not by ignor
ing the plain ethics upon which hui
man society rests, can any group OF
women secure their desires. Mrs.
Pankhurst's food strike" is stupid,
and worse than useless. Beore long
her deluded followers will manage
to kill someone. Then we shall see
the end OF these rio,ious bacchantes
who have disgraced their cause and
have given sharp weapons to every
opponent of equal suffrage in Amer
ica.-S. F. Star.

These tithes are paid annually to the
mother church in Utah and no ac-

large portion of the work, such as
excavation, carpentering, plastering,
etc, will be donated by the members
