GOOD ROADS, DAY

State Of North Dakota, Executive De-
partment: +.
Good Roads" is Today one of the
leading questions before the American
| people. The congress of the United
States, the legislatures of the various
states, municipal and county organiza-
tions, as we'll as innumerable civic and
improvement societies have taken a
great interest in this and have adopted
various ways and means for the build
ing and betterment of the public high
F.! ways throughout the nation.
The movement for the building and
upkeep of transcontinental trunk lines
of road has assumed national promin-
ence and has the hearty cooperation
of the progress loving people of the
United States. Unfortunately at pres
ent, the campaign for Good Roads" is
being held back to a large extent by
lack Of funds, but there is no question
that in time adequate funds will be
furnished by appropriations from the
federal and state governments to carry
forward this good work to completion.
North Dakota is very level coun-
try and our soil being peculiarly
adapted to the building of good roads,
there is no reason why our municipal
and county organizations in conjunc-
ton with our State Highways asso-
citation and the state engineers Office
should not be able to inaugurate and
carry forward a statewide campaign
which will vastly improve our high
ways.
In furtherance of this, it is but
proper that we have some special day
set aside to stir up interest in mat
ter of much Importance to our people,
for "Well begun is half done"
Now, therefore, l, L. B. Hanna, gov
ernor, do hereby proclaim Monday,
June 28th
GOOD ROADS DAY
in the state of North Dakota for the
year 1918, and on that day would

HELGESEN SAYS U. S. is
NOT PREPARED FOR WAR

Fargo, June 1S-WilsOn is right in
not wanting to go to war, for the
United States is not prepared because
of an inadequate navy, according to
Congressman H. T. Helgesen, who ar
rived in the city over the Oriental linn
tied last evening. He says conditions
in the navy are not right when sub
marines refuse to work as was demon
strated in New York recently.
''The real efficiency of the navy is
not known in Washington" said the
congressman. "Not long ago a New
Yory newspaper wired me whether I
was in favor of an adequate navy and
if son what 1 consider to be an ade-
Quate navy. I replied that it was
impossible to answer either one of the
points without first knowing the real
efficiency of the navy"
Congressman Helgesen admitted
that the navy question looms up large
in official circles and that many Of the
submarines would have to be over
hauled in case of war. Secretary
Daniels must be one at the most Sc
verest criticised men in Washington
and must be very unpopular in navy
circles if statements spoken by the
congressman last evening are inter
preted correctly.
"You should have seen The Navy"
said Helgesen. why, Secretary
Daniels is given the worst roasting for
his inefficiency along all lines that I
have ever read. It's red-hot roast"
According to the congressman, "The
Navy" is not an official publication
but is "the" publication in naval cir
cles. "The writer of the article" said
Mr.. Helgesen, doesn't go behind the
bush to give his rough-shots. Every
one of them are attacks of the worst
kind"
what is Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels policy?" asked the reporter.
"Has he one?" came the quick in
terrogation.

SUNDAY, JULY 18, IS
SET AS PURITY SUNDAY

State Of North Dakota, Executive De-
| partment
| Throughout the civilized world there
is an ever-increasing and insistent de-
mand for development and improve
ment. From the date of it's birth,
within our own country there has been
a continual struggle to better the con-
! ditions of our people. In the better
ment of conditions-political, CONNER
cial, industrial and social-there has
been vast difference of opinion as to
the best methods to be employed to
attain the desired end.
Beyond the political, commercial or
industrial phase of our national life
there lies the greater, more powerful
and far reaching force, the national
moral character of our people, a force
which overshadows all others and
goes farthest toward development
and Improvement. In the battle for
existence, often the moral side has
been forgotten and the desire for fin
ancial or personal gain has dulled our
moral eyesight, making it difficult to
distinguish between right and wrong.
Allied with this and hand in hand, the
three great demoralizers - strong
drink, drugs and white slavery-have
worked necessarily and persistently to
lower our standards of right. These
three influences have been a grave
menace to our national existence, but
with the aid of sensible legislation and
the gradual awakening of our people,
the first two have been to large de-
gree eliminated and there remains the
last and greatest evil, the white slave
traffic.
The International Purity Congress
has done a splendid work in endeavor-
ing to stamp out these three evils and
with the view Of cooperating with
them, I, L. B. Hanna, governor, do
hereby proclaim Sunday, July IS
PURITY SUNDAY
in the State of North Dakota for the
year 1915.
On that day I earnestly request that
the people in their homes and places
of worship resolve to do their utmost
to aid in the development of higher
citizenship and to hereafter so conduct.

VALLEY CITY SOLDIER rs
CONTRIBUTOR TO WAR CRY

F. A. Sandberg, of the Valley City
corps of the Salvation Army, has a
contribution in the War Cry on the
sinking Of the Lusitania, entitled "The
Other Cheek" A typewriter copy was
sent to President Wilson. 1t is as fol-
lows:
THE OTHER CHEEK
BY Comrade F. A. Sandberg, Valley
City, N. D., Corps.
Suggested by the sinking of the
Lusitania.
A Christian gives not blow for blow,
But turns "the other cheek;
When men shall smite he blesses
them,
And shows a spirit meek.
Is ours Christian nation, men?
Do we Gods favor seek?
Come! Let us bear our sorrow still
And turn the other cheek.
Spirit of God! Most Holy One!
Oh, help our sons to save
From wars relentless carnage red
And murders cruel grave!
Do we not love our enemies?
To STAY them shall we seek?
Did Jesus teach this policy,
Or turn the other cheek?
When, for the world, on Calvary's
Cross
He hung, the Sinless One,
He prayed, Forgive them, Father,
They do not know Your Son."
So He forgave His enemies,
Our Saviour, kind and meek;
Thus He, with pierced hands and feet,
Could turn the other cheek.
And shall we follow where He leads?
Our Saviour in the Word
Taught men to pray, Forgive our
debts
AS we our debtors, Lord;
So help US pray, dear Father, God,
That we Thy will may seek,
Our nation act the Christian way
And turn the other cheek,

Philadelphia for the meeting place

This is the intimation which came

place for holding the convention will
be designated by the republican ma
tional committee at a meeting to be
