Story of Pharisee and Publ
can Told in Powerful Ad-
dress During Chapel
Hour ThisMOrn-
ing.
LAUDS NORTH DAK0TANS
fE,o,, NNedreedav's Dailv.l

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
BIsnop J. Poyntz Tyler, Of the North
Dakora diocese OF the Episcopal
church, was today the guest Of the
State Normal school here and the
speaker at the general exercises this
morning. In one of the finest and
most powerful addresses Of its kind
heard in the auditorium, Bishop Ty.
ler told tn estory of the PhaT1see
and the Publican, warning his au-
dience of students against the self
satisfaction of the former.
The old Pharisee the speaker urg-
ed, was not to be condemned for
being openly thankful that he was
not as someone else, but it was fatal
to be satisfied with himself. The great.
est growth can only come to him,
who acknowledges his weakness and
inferiority and strives for strength.
Bishop Tyler, who only recently
came to this state from Virginia, said:
II am tremendously pleased with the
people of this state. don't think
you can find more splendid peo-
pie. This will be a great state If the
people will profit by their opportunity.
North Dakota is the recipient of
all the progress Of Virginia and
and the other older
eastern states. She is the recipient
of all the progress Of this broad land.
You have had brought here what other
people fought and died for, privileges
that have been denied to other
states. But special privileges must
bring forth special fruit. The product
and progress Of North Dakota cannot
be as good as that Of other states;
it must be better"
The speaker urged, that in as much
as other states have contributed to
the progress of this state, the people
Of this state, and especially the young
er generation, must return the contn-
button to all America.
Besides the student body and the
faculty. several local citizens heard
Bishop Tyler.

Bears Must Go Without Gaze
for Another Month. City
Printing Causes a
Stir.
TUESDAY, MAY s, 1914.

TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1914. NsaSgs,M
With a full attendance, the a.. Z
session of the new city council AZ
the City Of Valley City opened lsst
evening at the city hall. Present were
Aldermen Clark, Combs, Holland. I1ss
Mason, Skrettiug and Walker. a5
Following the formal business. which
consumed some time, the first order
of business was the opening Of bids.
The first bid opened was for a case
for the bears which for the past -
weeks have been kept in the hase-
ment Of the city hall.
The only proposal was that Of r.
G. Davidson, of this city, who ofIarsd
to erect an iron cage, according -
the specifications of the city, for $3e0.
1t looked for moment, as though,
the contract would be let without COM
ment, when Alderman Combs took tho
floor to protest against a contract q
this kind being let just at this particu>
lar time. Mr.. Combs stated that IN
his opinion it was mistake to make
a bear cage Of any kind, now. He re-
ferred briefly to the large amount az
money which has been spent in pub
lic improvements here in the past year.
and stated that the tax payers of Val
ley City are already heavily burden
ed.
He did not believe that in view az
the public improvements already made.
at large cost, and the improvements
said to be contemplated by the admin.
istration for the current year. that the
taxpayers should be asked to pay so
large an amount for the pleasure and
entertainment of two bears. "
On motion of D. w. Clark, action
on the bid was deferred until the June
meeting, when it will be taken uni
again. "
The only other incident of the meet
ing of special interest. was in regard
to the letting of bids for city printing
and publishing. The argument was
started when the representative OF
The Times-Record appeared before
the council shortly after the meeting
opened, and asked permission to offer
bid for the printing, which he said
he. had been unavoidably prevented
from offering.before.
The Mayor at once raised the oues-
tion III the legality of accepting the
bid at that time, the hour at which
bids were to have closed being eight
o'cock. At this point Alderman Combs
offered the suggas ton tnat the inter
ests Of the city demanded that the bid
OF the Times-Record should be placed
on file and opened, and the city could
not but benefit by a, greater number
of bids than one, and that there was
nothing illegal inoffering the bid at
that time.
The mayor then asked the only 9TH
er bidder, whether he was willing that
the bid of The Tmes.Record should
be received. He said that he was not
willing, and that he did not think It
was fair to receive bid at so late a
date.
On a vote, later in the evening, he
bid Of the Tines-Record was ordered
opened.
Owing to the nature of the bids. and
a question as to whether one or the
other was low, 1t was decided, when
the bids were opened, to wait until
the June meeting to analyze them aud
decide which concern should secure
the contract.
The contract for city printing was
awarded to the Valley City Courier.

Jamestown College and Nor
NAL School Teams Clashed
Here1For Forensic
Honor.
CONTEST Was CLOSE One
FRIDAY, MAY I, 1914.

FRIDAY, MAY I, 1914.
In an evenly fought contest, the
jamestown college debating team won
by single ballot over the State Nor
NAL school debaters before large
audience in the auditorium here last
night. Both teams were so evenly
matched that it was matter Of spec
ulation until the chairman announced
the decision of the judges.
The question argued by the respec-
tive teams was: Resolved, that Euro
pean immigration SHOULD be further re-
st:icted by law.
The judges we're: J. L. Bell, Bis
marck; Dr.. H. J. Rowe, Casselton;
and J. w. Otterburn, Fargo.
7 The debate was opened by the Nor
NAL school team, taking the affirma-
tive, Helen Outram, giving the open
ing speech Miss Outram contended
that further restriction was desirable
for political, economical and social
reasons. She pointed out that early
immigrants came from northern Eu-
rope and were desirable, but at the
present time immigration pours into
this country from southeastern Eu-
rope and forms the undesirable ele-
ment in our population today. Miss
Outram ably argued that present laws
do not restrict, and urged the con-
structive argument of the affirmative
to be: exclusion of unskilled labor
and a requirement o ia stated sum
possessed by those gaining entrance
to this country.
In the onening the negative argu-
ment, William Landis, of Jamestown
contended that the net immigration
was not too large, that immigrants
assimilated with the native popula-
ton to the benefit of both and that
they became nationalized, thta all un-
desirables are now excluded.
Dell Rodger, of the local team, urg-
ed further restriction on the ground
of eugenics, contending that present
laws do not restrict and that immi-
grafton form southeastern Europe led
to race deterioration. We place the
ban on unhealthy foreign plants and
animals, why not on foreign human
beings?
Edna L. More, of the jamestown
team, followed with an argument for
labor, and urged that for
economic reasons further restriction
would be unwise.
One Of the finest forensic efforts of
the evening was that made by Alex |
ander Aas for the local team. Mr..
Aas was concise, eloquent and con.
vincing and showed that present laws
are inadequate, that labor conditions
today are unsatisfactory and that we
have large army OF unemployed be-
cause of the over abundance of cheap
abor. He admitted, however, that the
present laws were a good beginning,
out were not comprehensive enough.
Lewis Orlady, for the Jamestown
;eam, contended that the great men Of
America today are in many instances
'oreign born, and that the bad and un-
desirable people are native born, draw
ng for this his conclusion that the
element is a good one.
Each speaker was given ten min.
utes for constructive argument and
five minutes for rebuttal.
The decision Of the judges was two
in favor Of jamestown college repre-
sentatives.
The occasion of the debate showed
more real enthusiasm and school spirit
than has been seen at the school for
a long time. About 20 students &C.
