but there are many in this country
who are foreign form, who sympathize
deeply with their mother country, and
who resent with deep feeling any re-
marks against their fatherland, and 1t
is these people that those who have
no interests in the war, aught to re-
spect and refrain from annoying. BY
all means keep cool". Citizens OF
this great country where We are free
to express opinions without fear of
legal punishment, can do wonders for
world peace by refraining from ex-
pressing preferences as to the final
outcome. Some one is to blame for
the awful loss of life but 1t is too late
now to stop the war but not too late
to start one at home. President Will
son has taken a splendid stand in the
matter and his proclamation is mas
terpiece.

SPARE THE BIRDS.

From all quarters comes the report
that prairie chicken and duck are very
plentiful. Sounds nice, doesn't it?
Tastes nice, too, and it affords the
sportsman a fine time; but thinR a
moment: South Dakota, Nebraska
Kansas and Oklahoma are now lament
ing the fact that their chicken and
duck and quail-once as plentiful as
they are here now-zre forever gone.
The trouble with the states mentioned
was that they passed some good game
laws after the game was gone Now
they are lamenting the loss. Would il
not be good thing for North Dakota
Legislature to put a stop to the whole
sale slaughter of game by passing .
law that will end the slaughter for al
time and every season? OF course
the sportsman will say no, but here
to their doing it, just the same. /
strong movement is now on foot t
stop the shooting Of all kinds of bird
in the state for term Of years.

OUR NEIGHBoRs.

Few of US really know our neigh"
bors. We hear of their faults and
short comings in the way of gossip and
usually give heed to it but seldom hear
OF their many virtues and seldom heed
j: when We do If the time could be
taken from the Frantic rush fer fame
o fortune to make the acquaintance OF
those with whom we come n contact,
life might be made much more PIES
ant for others as we'll as much brighter
er for ourselves. 1t is a pretty safe
bet that the man or woman who Is
given to circulating evil stories Of 9TH
ers has something to cover and just a
small amount of investigating will u.s.
ually uncover the skeleton. Valley
City is not free of these characters,
some who are family deserters now
living in sin, and it would be a for
tunate thing for the community gen.
orally if there might be found some
way of suppressing at least their foul
tongues if not Of correcting the lives
they are said to lead. Valley City is in
many ways a model town but the
tongue of gossip as well as the source
of the same might be bridled without
detracting from the CITY as A DlaCe of
residence.

GOOD THEATRES.

Valley City has the best picture the
aires in the state, indeed we believe
west of Minneapolis. There is not a
theatre in the west anywhere that pre-
tends to have an orchestra that meas
ures I'M to that of the Rex "the home
of the pipe organ" and one OF the
contest theatres to be found anywhere
The managers of this popular house
have a hold on the hearts of their pa
irons that can be gained only by hon
est treatment and it is without doubt
one of the best ventilated places to be
found anywhere. The matter Of venti-
lation alone costing the men about one
hundred dollars per month, all air be-
ing washed before entering the theatre
and in summer cooled with ice. With
all due respect to managers over the
state the people of Valley City are
greatly pleased with the show and
house of Robinson & Burch who al
ways meet patrons with a pleasant
welcome and seem to enjoy LOOKING
after the welfare of children when not
accompanied by their parents. 1t Is
splendid thing to have such perfectly
|'orderly place in town, and is not un
appreciated here.

THE WHY OF IT.

Under the head Cannon Fodder
the Fargo Forum has the following
which is so true to the actual condi
ton, and spirit that it is reproduced.
A Frenchman and German who
were reservists on the same ship re
turning to Europe, were interviewed
Here is what they said.
1--WE are going home to fight" said
one of the French reservists, "but We
will save our fighting till we do gel
home"
"Why should we pick quarrels with
our French friends aboard the ship?
asked a German. "Wait till we gel
home, then will come the fighting"
Can it be claimed that men like
these reservists, who will part In
terms of friendship, only to meet a
little later to see which can shoot the
other to death, have any heart In this
war? Earnest pleas are made on ev
cry side that this is war Of racial
elements, of racial hatreds. Where Is
the evidence of it? The people do not
even know what it is about.
Can anyone pretend that the sud
denness with which this avalanche
of blood was precipitated gave the
people any time or opportunity to ex
press themselves? If referendum
were to be taken among the common
people of Europe at this moment, as
to whether or not this hellish piling
up of corpses should stop, would
there be single negative vote?
If the bills of war were paid in ad-
vance, how many wars would there be?
But the bills of war are always
marked &c. o. P."-Collect on Poster
ity. Collect from your children's chill
dren, when the makers of war have
long since achieved their ambitions in
the grave. A peoples war. A pawns'
war!
Napoleon once referred to recruits
as common fodder" But as Shake
speare put it, "Trees have been known
to move and stones to speak," and
perhaps the day is not far off when
this fodder will be known to spike
every gun in Christendom.

TO THE BOYS.

A number of boys OF the ages Of IL
to Is were seen on a certain street
corner a few nights ago tossing pen
MES to a mark. 1t is to be hoped that
it was all in fun at the worst but it is
mighty poor kind of a pass time and
might possibly lead to checkered
career and a furnished name to say
nothing more. Amusement Of the
right sort is necessary and has every
! sensible mans approval but it only
takes few first down steps to head {

ing is a true one that "A bird with (

WILSON HITS WINE.

Latest reports from Washington in

indorse the freight tax" in the war
revenue bill. Chairman Underwood of

that nothing will be done until Will

fact that the howl is going up from

AMERICA "Do MOVE"

While the European countries are
hurting at each other their deadly bull
lets and shells and moving men down
by the thousands, America is steadily
forging to the front in more ways
than one. The Scientific American,
Sept. II, has description of Edi-
sons two latest inventions, the
"Transophone" and the "Telescribe. !"
With the Transophone person sits
at the typewriter with the old time
monograph tubes in her ears and
writes out the message formerly re-
corded on the record. The record is
electrically controlled by an addition
al key on the typewriter so that in
case the operator does not hear or IN
derstand the word she touches the key
and the machine repeats for her. Thi:
may be done as often as she desires.

pass into the realms beyond may hi

The Times-Record reporter wonders
If the people of Valley City and vicin-
ty really appreciate to the full the ex-
ceptional advantages and privileges
which Valley City is affording them.
Perhaps they do, but it is the opinion
of the writer that many Valley City
citizens are much like the man who
Sha sa good wife and fails to show his
appreciation if, indeed. he has any.
, There are it is true, many
towns and cities Of real worth
and possessing many advantages.
But to compare with Valley City
in many particulars. Would 1t not be
a good thing for old and young Of this
vicinity to take little time of some
Sunday afternoon and think the mat
ter over. Here is the beautiful river
the mill dam, a delightful country,
healthy air and splendid water. No
every town have even half of these
Then there are the magnificent resi-
dences, the fine park, the beautiful
lights of the white way" the Normal
the hospitals, score of good bushes
houses with every line representa-
and represented we'll. Good schools
good churches, electric theatres whic
would even do Chicago proud, and s
might one go on and on. But yc
know these and hundred more whit
make Valley City city Of delight al
happiness. What heritage to tt
boys and girls, and yet-is 1t not tn
that too few appreciate it all. Suppo
we take time to think it over.

A WORD ABOUT THE SCHOOLS.

In a few more days there will be in
the United States a total Of over 49,
100000 children and 100000 teachers
at work in the schools. Both teachers
and pupils will have their problems. y
One of the greatest problems, how
ever, is that of cooperation on the
part of the home. Many of the little
things which go to make up the larger
things might be materially remedied
if the schools can have the right sort
of cooperation.
Many paernts do not make it point
to look we'll to the attendance and
grading of their children. The grade
cards are signed and returned without
a careful examination, marks OF de-
merit are not investigated, and in
many instances the parent is not at all
in close touch with the school work.
Every parent should realize that the
schools are trying their best to do the
best for the boys and girls that is pos
sible, and many grievances might be
gotten out of the way if full co'opera-
ton might be had.
In many instances the repeated abb
sences and hardness might be done
away, for these are among the first
things to kill the pupils interest in
the school and make for his failure
later on. Another thing which mill
tates against success comes, perhaps
unthoughtedly. Often times some
complaint comes home to the parents,
and before the matter is investigated
the teacher receives a censure in the
presence of the pupils. At that mo-
ment the teachers influence is injured
if not killed so far as that pupil is con-
cerned. Parents should uphold the
teacher at all times, and especially in
the presence of the children. If there
is trouble anywhere the parents
should go direct to the teacher and in
a kind and considerate way find out
the facts in the case. In most cases,
troubles will vanish and the work of
the teacher and pupil alike will be
greatly assisted.
Every mother should make it a point
to pay several visits to the school dur
ing the school year; they should en-
Quire as to just how Mary and Charley
are getting along, and the teacher
should be frank to tell you all about it.

DETAILS OF REPORT
 ON FEDERAL JUDGE STEER

Washington. July 6-The report of the house judiciary committee on the impeach- ment proceedings directed against Judge Emery Speer of the United States district court at Macon, Ga, which was filed June 23, severely arraigned that official for mis using his high otlice but he was spared an impeachment trial in the senate because the committee believed there was not sui ticient evidence of wrongdoing to convict him The committee requested the house to drop the charges Representative Nolstead of Minnesota, Republican and minority member of the sub-investigating commit tee, submitted a separate report exonerat ing Speer Representatives Webb and Fitz- henry signed the majority report.
 Early in his judicial career the ma jority report stated, Judge Speer ascer tained the limit to which he could go before liability to impeachment would accrue, and went as close to the line upon many occa- sions as safety would permit"
 The subcommittee regrets its inability to recommend either a complete acquittal of Judge Speer" the report continued, 'of all culpability so far as these charges are concerned, on the one hand, or an impeach- ment on the other. And yet we are per suaded that the competent legal evidence at hand is not sufficient to procure con viction at the hands of the senate. But the sub committee does feel that the record pre- sents series of legal expressions and shows an abuse of judicial discretion which, though falling short of impeachment de mand condemnation and criticism"
 Judge Speer was stamped as an autocrat by the majority. Tt was rare, indeed that jury was permitted to return verdict contrary to his wishes, regardless of the facts" said the report. The investigators did not question the charges that Speer had permitted his friends to exact liberal fees in bankruptcy cases, They criticized the judge for using federal employees as per sonal servants
 The probers attacked Speer because of the Hack of harmony between the judge and the district bar"
 There has been an absolute want of effort on the part of the court to make the people of that district feel that their federal court was a bulwark of their liberties" 1t said.
 Among other charges the committee de- clared unsustained as far as possible con- viction is concerned are that Judge Speer uses drugs; that he disregards the man. dates of the court of appeals, and that he unlawfully seized and sold property
