"Padlocks and burglar alarms invite

bringing together people who have not
met in many years.

the committee in charge requests that

NOT A. ISSUE.

America First is the shibboleth
that the New York World proposes
for the Democratic campaign of 1916.
1t would be just as fitting to raise
the slogan:
MY father, drunk or sober"
The efforts of the Democratic lead
ers and press to shift from the tariff
to the diplomatic situation precipitat-
ed by the wa is amusing. 1t merely
indicates how barren of issues the
Wilson administration is.
1t is equally futile for the Demo
Gratis to build up a straw man and
label it Copperheadism. The follow
ers of Wilson do not possess all the
patriotism, neither will their attempts
to make this an issue be successful.
The eastern press is hard at work
antagonizing those of German birth,
in the hopes of creating an alignment
along nationality lines that will OBJ
obscure the defects of the administra.
ton, and watt Wilson into Office.
There is no division in this nation.
dt is only natural that certain ele.
ments Of our population. should side
with this OF that nation in the world
war, now raging in Europe. The sym.
pathy expressed or reflected in tae

suggestion Of treason to the Stars and

LANCER AFTER
SCHOOL OFFICERS

Mandan, Nov. 15.-Following an in
vestigation during the past three
weeks Of schools in Morton county,
States Attorney VIM. LANCER this af-
ternoon started action that may re-
suit in wholesale arrests, when he
brought mandamus actions against d.
rectors of 81 school districts on var
ious charges.
The North Dakota statute demands
that each school be provided with a
fagpole and the United States flag,
and that the flag shall be flown above
the school during all sessions. With
the exception of the city of Man.
dan schools, not another of 293 in the
county comply with this. The writ or
mandamus issued upon each school
director to Immediately obey the law
or else appear Ia. court and show
cause why it Is not done.
In addition to this States Attorney
LANCER says there are 4,716 children
between the ages of 8 and 16 years,
who are not in school.
This afternoon he mailed a regis.
tered letter to the parents or guard
ians of these children and ordered
them to Immediately place the child.

is done within five days after receipt
of the registered letters, arrests will
follow.

"Wilson First" or not. The perpetu-
ity of the Republic does not depend
upon continuance in power of the Dem.
ocratic party. Ever since the shot
was fired that was heard around the
world, the dominant parties of tais
nation have been for America first,
last and all the time.
Patriotism is not puffed up; patri'
otism does not exalt itself. 1t is the
,potent force that moves a man to
leave his loved ones and shoulder a
musket in defense of his nation.
There are just as many patriots in
the Republican as in the Democratic
party and most Of them resent having
their loyalty challenged by the Wilson
administration.

and a quarter miles from the school,
attendance is not compulsory, but the
action falls on the district board,
which by the law Is required to fur
nish transportation. As this latter is
the plea of some of the parents of the
1,716 children not in school, man.
damus proceedings will be brought
against the school officers for failure
to provide transportation.
In connection with his other activi'
ties regarding the county schools,

Morton county who r not, attending
school," said w. F. Lorin, county su-
p~erintendent today. Ever since
the schools started this fall Il have
been sending out letters and warnings
and many have entered schools as tae
result" :
Thinks LANCER Mistaken.
Concerning the statement of the
states attorney, that the school con
ditions in Morton county are about
the poorest in the state tSupt. Lorin
said: II believe that Mr.. LANCER has
overstepped himself, for I do not thi1k
he is familiar with the school condi.
tons elsewhere. We have a splendid
teaching staff in our country schools,
and amFjust. as heartily in favor of
compelling delinquent parents to send
their children to school as anyone"
.a ~ No Controversy.
mfr. Lorin this morning declared
that he had no desire and no reason
to become involved in q controversy,
and said that he is cooperating with
Mr.. LANCER in enforcing the school
statutes. ..
MIR. Lorin furnished States Attor.
ney LANCER with a map Of the county
showing the location Of schools. and
with the names of the school officers,
and informed him of a large number
of cases where delinquency occurred.

Booker r. Washington's death is a
loss to the nation and especially to
the race to which he had devoted his
life. He understood the negro and
recognized that education, not legis-
lation, would work out his salvation.
There was nothing maudlin or unrea.
sonable in the methods advanced by
Washington. Recognizing the limita'
tons Of the people he worked so lard
to improve, he never advocated hope
less panaceas.
Vocational. training was the basic
principle that governed his education
al plans. He taught the negro to help
himself, by making,him useful to, rata-
er than a drag upon%t the community.
He gave thousands of trained artisans
to the South and many today owe
their independence to him.
= The institution which ne establish
ed should continue to do good work.
DIR. Washington's example will serve
to inspire the negro and to inculcate-
higher ideals.
His leadership will be missed in the
South. This man has done more to
lessen the prejudice against the negro
than any other man, black or white,
since the Civil war freed the slaves.
Booker T. Washington was born in
slavery, so that he overcame every
handicap imposed upon his ace The

the institution at Tuskegee. The en-
ergy Of DR.. Washington, however,
soon founded a plant valued at $1,000
600, with thousands of students.
Unlike some reformers, he never
urged social equality for his race.
Neither did he utter anything that
would arouse racial strife or dissen.
sion. He treated the negro problem
strictly on its merits and worried less
over its racial aspects than most so.
cial workers. .,....
It would be unfair, however, to
place q racial Limitation upon the
work Of DR.. Washington. His serv-
ices have a wider significance. He
was a pioneer in vocational training.
This man Of lowly birth was sought
after by educators and his advice in
spired more than one educational con-
ference. Harvard and Dartmouth con.
ferred degrees upon him.
Honors never swerved him from the
path of duty. He remained faithful
and loyal to the cause of his race to

The greatest negro educator has
gone to his reward.
His name is now linked in fame
with those Of Paul Lawrence Dunbar,
Amanda Smith and others who did so
much for the ibetterment of their race.
