work.
Since the division President Worst
has been able to devote more time to
his college work, and with Cooper de-
voting all his time to the u. S. work
ore progress has been made there.
There was a great deal Of opposi-
ton on the part of some friends of
President Worst to his candidacy for
the y. S. senate. Many of his best
friends thought he was making a mis-
take, but when they found he was real
ly in the race they gave him all the
assistance possible. Some of them
thought as long as he was in the race
he should resign the college presidency.
He has not lone so and there seems
to be no indication Of any effort on the
part Of the powers that be to displace
him.
President Worst is regarded as one
OF the ablest and most popular edu-
Gators in the state. Outside of his re-
cent excursion in the political game,
there is nothing that could be brought
against him, and unless he resigns vol
unfairly he will no doubt be reelected
to his present position without oppo-
sition.''

Of Worst and
Cooper Ridicules Rurnors

There are many people in Fargo and
North Dakota who are not inclined to
take much stock in the report that
people are after Worst's official scalp. In
a conversation with The Forum today,
a gentleman, who Is a close personal
friend of President Worst and also in
timately associated with Director
Cooper, made the following statement:
"Rumors have been in circulation to
the effect that there vas an organized
effort to force President Worst out of
the North Dakota Agricultural college.
It is claimed that certain opponents
want to secure his. position for Thos.
p. Cooper, who came here from Min
nesota to head the better farming
movement and was later made direc-

1T is positively asserted there is no
effort on the part of MI. Cooper or his
friends to secure the position for him.

cause there was too much for one man
to do. The federal and state positions
were separated and it is extremely UNI

day viii be respected in the future de-
ponds on the use that is made. not of
the day, but of the power which caus-
ed it's creation.
Power is as dangerous in the hands
of the unwise as a gun in the hands
of a child. 1t is useful and beneficial
only when wisely and prudently APP
piled. Power is the purpose of organ
iZation. The individual gains it only
through cooperation with others and
the use of the means which co-opera-
ton brings. If the power behind the
movement which gave the country

this time there is strong public sem
timent in favor of living wages, by

days when age and debility deprive
him of his earning power. This sem
timent also includes reasonable hours
Of service and safe, comfortable, san

Employers, many of them, are in
cluded among those who no longer
regard human labor as a commodity,
to be bcught and sold in the market
like potatoes at whatever it will
bring in competition with other labor,
who believe the laborer is not only
worthy Of his hire but is entitled to
his full share of the profits of his la
Dor. The condition of labor has been
greatly elevated in the past quarter of
a century. 1t is due in part TO united
effort TO improve the quality of labor
and in part to an inherent sense of
justice which has prompted employ
ers TO give their employees a square
deal. to recognize them as fellow hu-
man beings and cO-wOrkers.

dom and prudence and follows the
