EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

In a republic. where the life of
the Government must depend up
on all Of the people. probably the
most important factor in the Sc
curing of better conditions and
more equitable distribution of the
benefits of government. comes
about Indirectly through the gen.
eral spread of knowledge. In this
our educatic~al institutions have
always played an important part
In this United States Education
has always been de med of ne ut
most Importance and every state
of the Union has given it's best at
tention to the establishing of in
stitutions of learnire both of the
higher order as we'll as the COM
mon schools.
North Dakota must not drop
behind her sister states in this
respect. We must not be penny
wise and pound "oolish." This
state is wealthy. she ranks close
to the top in per capit~ wealth and
there is no reason why we should
not build educational institutions
and schools here that will be
known in all parts of the country

as the best schools obtainable. In
fact we must do this if we are to
grow. The land men will tell you
that one Of the first things that a
possible new citizen wants to
know. even before he will consider
buying farm or coming to North
Dakota is the kind of schools and
Universities and colleges we have.
The kind Of men that we need in
the state are willing to move if
they can do so without sacrificing
their families. but they will not
come into state where children
cannot have every advantage.
Because of legal complications
our North Dakota institutions of
higher education are Just now SER
iously hampered by lack of funds.
This is not in accordance with
the desire Of North Dakota's cili-
zens. We want the best OF schools
and are willing to pay for them,
and our legislature. at its coming
session. will be expected to see
that some plan is worked out
which will give us ample funds
for our State Educational Institu-
tiOns.

A SWEET. SOLEMN THOUGHT

How dear to our hearts is the
steady subscriber
Who pays in advance at the birth
of each year.
Who lays down the money and
does it quite gladly.
And casts round the office q halo
of cheer.
He never says: ''Stop it: cannot
afford it.
I'm getting more papers than now
can read.''
But always says. "Send it: our
people all like it
In fact, we all think it a help and
a need.'
How welcome his check when it
reaches our sanctum.
How it makes our pulse throb;
how it makes our heart
dance
We outwardly thank him: we i'm
wardly bless him

attitude of the church toward locker
clubs.
The resolutions were read before a
church crowded to the doors, and an
equally large attendance is expected
at an adjourned meeting TO be held
Wednesday in the lecture room. when
the congregation will decide definitely
upon the attitude it will take. There
were yelled reports that leading mem
bers of the church would oppose any
formal action as outside of the prov
ince of the church.
The resolutions specifically state
that lit is incompatible with the prin-
ciples and purposes of this church for

MERCHANT PLAN
SHRINE DISPLAYS

Merchants in downtown Atlanta
Monday discussed ways and means to
carry out an extensive Shrine week
decoration scheme in the business
section of the city, acting on letter
sent out by Forrest Adair, potentate
Of Yaarab Temple, in behalf of the
local chapter.
In addressing the merchants, Mr..
Adair mentions the possibility of en-
pertaining 10000 to 10000 visitors
and asks that an organized effort be
made on the part of the heads Of
the stores to give the decorating
project their undivided support. His
letter also mentioned the $500 prize
offer made recently by the Shriners
to be divided among the three bust
ness firms or propertyowners MAX
ing the most attractive electrical dis
plays during the carnival week. The
first prize will be $3.50, the second
$3.50 and the third 800.
Electrical contractors, after con-
ferring with the local Shrine chap
Ter, are canvassing all merchants
urging that they hurry up orders for
electric light displays. Noble Good
man, member of the Seattle, Wash,
Shrine, is in Atlanta, and with as
sstants, will help the local contrac-
tors on illumination schemes.

atical It was pointed out that II
members of certain prominent clubs
did not have to quit them under
this rule these clubs will virtually
have secured the church's q. h.
Making it plain that the Baptist
Church regards the use of -aleoholic
liquors with disfavor, the resolutions
ask that any unlawful features of the
clubs be eliminated.
The resolutions were printed on the
back of the church calendar for the
week, these being distributed among
the members of the congregation.
Following are the resolutions
Urge Members to Quit Clubs.
Whereas the character and
standing of church are involved
in and determined by the con-
duct of it's own members: and
Whereas voluntary membership
in an organization places upon
one the moral responsibility for
the purposes and conduct of the
same; and
Whereas this church regards
the traffic in and the use of alco-
holic beverages, whether with or
without the sanction of the law,
as against public morals and OPP
posed to thesprogress of the gos-
pei OF Christ;
Therefore be is resolved, %
That ii is incompatible with the
principles and purposes OF this
church for it's members to be
identified with organizations
which derive revenue for their
maintenance from the sale of al
coholc beverages.
co That. recognizing the place
and value of social and CONNER
cial clubs in the life of the city,
this church urges upon those of
its members who are connected
with such clubs the duty and OPP
portunity of using their influence
therein toward eliminating from
the same any unlawful features
that may obtain.
go That in the event of the
failure of such efforts to bring
about these needed reforms in
the club life of the city, the mem
bers of this church should
promptly sever all connection with
: such clubs.

RAILROADS To BENEFIT

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Declar-

Chamberlain, of oregon, to-day said:
Il have never been able to believe
hat the canal act granting exemp-
ZION from tolls to American vessels
engaged in the coastwise trade was
an, violation of the Hay Pauncefote
treaty or of any treaty between the
Tinted States and Great Britain.
Nor do I think the granting of
foII exemptions to be bad economic
rolicy. If | felt that either or both
nropositions were the reverse, no one
would be more ready than | to re-
verse the position | took when the
act Of 1912 was passed. The subject
was discussed at great length at that
time. both in Congress-, on the ros-
rum, in the campaign of 1912 and in
the press. There is no question but
mat the masses of the people believe
that the Panama Canal act was no
violation of any treaty and that it was
sound, not only economically, but as
an American policy.
Unwise to Repeal Act.
no one has higher regard for
the President than l. and l recog-
nize his great intellectually and force,

Likely to Join in Move.

1t is probable that the officers of

resolutions similar to those presented

locker clubs, following the sermon
Sunday by DR.. A. r. Holderby, the
pastor, attacking grand juries for not
enforcing the prohibition law in Geor-
gia.
Dr Holderbys subject was The
Prohibition Law in Eden" He stated
that the Georgia prohibition law was
Gods law and not mans, and urged
the Nhurch to enforce it as such.
