THE AMES SCHOOL BOARD.
Tpurlipptop uouloyo

his Is 1uHny "Orlu. Inc STATE OF
Iowa has a law forbidding secret
societies in high schools. Now the
board of education in Ames gets to-
gether and after mature elaboration
arrives at the conclusion that it will
enforce the law Before getting to-
gether for any purpose, these members
must have taken an oath to the effect
that they will obey and enforce the
law of the land. There is so much
taking of oaths, that nobody pays
much attention thereto, otherwise 1t
would have appeared to the gentlemen
at Ames that their attitude or their
resolution was ridiculous. And now
they propose that every boy and every
girl in the school must give an affi-
davit to the effect that he or she Is not
now and will not become member
Of secret fraternity. Perhaps that
may be the right way to reach the
youth of Ames. But there will be
many who will consider the proceeding
foolish and will insist that an ap-
peal to the honor Of the youngsters
would get better results than an en-
forced oath. as every student is to be
suspended indefinitely, who refuses to
make such affidavit.
ALONG THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY.
tCedar Rapids Gazette.l
The Lincoln highway Is q good ex-
ample of what a fine, well-kept coun-
try road will do for the territory
thru which it passes. Ask the BUSH
ness men in any town touched by
that road whether they have benefited
from the route and they invariably
will answer in the affirmative. The
smaller towns benefit most, and they
outnumber the cities ten to one, or
more. It is a fact that points which
now have to compete with towns To-
Gated on the Lincoln highway find
competition much more strenuous and
exacting than it was before the new
factor entered into the situation.
In driving along the Lincoln high
way the tourist finds reJuvenated viii
lagos and towns wherever he goes.
New hotels have been constructed to
care for the travellers that patronize
them in large numbers during the
touring seasons. Merchants awake to
the opportunities have increased their
trade by catering to the travelling pub
lie. In some instances the highway
has produced results greatly similar to
those which follow the building Of a
new railroad.
The success Of the Lincoln highway
project gives the west something to
remember. The sood roads movement
Just is getting fair start. It is in It's
infancy. What this transcontinental
road has done for the country others
can and will do II they receive sup
port. The short road is as important
as the long enc. Country roads and
state roads are as much to be consid-
cred. Good roads make good farms
and good cities. With the tremendous
extension of the automobile industry,
which makes for greater sociability
and gives ready access to any COM
munity approachable over good roads,
the movement should be continuous
and accompanied by results whose
value in the development of this coun-
try Of boundless resources and posi-
bilities is beyond all comprehension.

Using university Week" which will

these towns and it augurs we'll for the
prosperity of both. The Herald urges

that he did not as he expected to be
able to "talk the officers out of it in
the morning" The other fellow then
left stating that if he did not he would
be around again next evening. Smith
did not see the man on the outside, so
of course it was impossible for him to
give any description. A close watch
was kept on the Jail Saturday even
ing but no one put in an appearance
to help Swanson escape.
The prisoner was brought before
Judge Diehl Saturday morning on a
warrant sworn out by J. B. Schoen-
hoff, charging grand larceny. Swan
son plead not guilty and he was re-
manded to Jail without bail to await
word from Hennepin county.
The Herald understands that Swan
son was an official of Roseau county
for number of years and was defeat
ed for reelection year ago.
The prisoner is now being held in
the Hennepin county Jail charged
with grand larceny.
Swanson is about 40 years of age,
dark complexioned, wears a NOUS
tache and weighs about 1876 pounds.
He was fairly we'll dressed, and made
friends very rapidly.

SEVERAL
WORTHLESS CHECKS
FORMER REGISTER OF DEEDS

THE PENITENTIARY
LOCAL BUSINESS MEN STUNG
ARRESTED IN SAUK CENTRE
AND TURNED OVER TO HEN
NEPIN COUNTY.

F. w. Swanson, for a number of
years register of deeds of Roseau
county, spent several days of last
week in Sank Centre.
He said he was collecting accounts
he had outstanding for services rem
dered while acting as register of
deeds. He was of convivial DISPOSE
ton and spent the greater portion of
his time about the wet goods empor-
iums of the city. His funds running
low, he did not hesitate to have sever
al checks cashed at the local dispen-
saries.
Friday afternoon Cashier A. F.
Strebel of the Merchants National
Bank recognized his name on a check
turned in by one of the local business
men, as that of a man wanted by the
Minnesota Bankers Association whose
speciality it was to pass worthless
checks. He, got. into communication
with Chief of Police Fish who rounded
up his man and placed him in Jail.
Meantime City Attorney Kells COM
municated with the bank at Roseau
and received the cheering information
that worthless checks drawn on them
had been coming in since February.
Swanson also claimed to represent
ing Brown, Tracey, Sperry Co.. manu-
facturers of blank books, St. Paul. In
fact he had their business card with
his name printed on as representative.
About the time of Swanson's arrest
Chief of Police Fish received a tele-
gram from Sheriff Langum of Henne-
pin county asking for the arrest of a
man named Swanson, wanted by the
Minnesota Bankers charged with
grand larceny. Mr.. Fish got in COM
munication with Sheriff Langum and
Deputy Shutta came up after him
Saturday evening, returning Sunday
morning. The returning of Swanson
to Hennepin county will save Stearns
county snug sum for prosecution.
Friday night tramp giving the
name of Frank Smith was given
lodging in the city jail Smith stated
to Chief of Police Fish Saturday, morn
ing that sometime during the night
some one appeared at the window of
Swanson's cell and asked him if he
wanted to get out. Swanson replied

GOVERNOR VISITS
THE HOME SCHOOL
CHIEF EXECUTIVE MAKES PER-
SONAL INSPECTION OF
STATES INSTITUTION
THE BOARD OF CONTROL HERE
GIRLS ARE PAR
OLED-MANY NEW COMMIT
MENTS TO SCHOOL

Wednesday of last week Gov. Ham,
mond formally dedicated the splen-
did new school building at Melrose,
and late that evening was driven to
Sank Centre and directly to the Home
School for Girls where he remained
until Thursday noon, when he return
ed to st. Paul.
1t was not generally known that
the Governor was in the city, but this
was his desire as he wanted to de-
vote all the time at his disposal in
speeding the institution.
The Board of Control came up We'd
nesday evening and upon their arriv-
al went into executive session at
once, going over applications for pa
role. A large number of the girls
were personally interviewed, and up
on the recommendation of the Matron
Mrs. F. F. Morse, twenty-five of the
inmates were paroled. A number of
them went to their homes and the rest
into places provided for them by Mrs.
Morse. g.. = -..--~s-> =.
The present population of the
school is about 100, and is increasing
very rapidly; no less than 81 new
commitments having been made in the
past five months.
Mrs. Mary L. Stewart of St. Cloud,
chairman of the Women's Board of
Visitors, also attended the meeting of
the Board of Control.
The Governor spent all of Thursday
forenoon making a rigid inspection of
the institution. He was unfamiliar
with the detail and system in opera
ton as well as the actual results aim
ed at. Mr.. Hammond is not given to
ELUSIVE praise, but it was apparent
that he was favorably impressed with
methods used and amazed at the re-
suits obtained.
He assumed a regular Missouri
attitude in connection with the institu-
ton and when a statement was made
about any proposition he insisted up
on "being shown" the reason.
The Governor expressed regrets at
not being able to devote more time to
the institution, but said that he would
return again the better to familiarize
himself with the School.

the splendid Baccalaureate sermon de-
.livered to the graduating class of the
Sank Centre public schools, Sunday
evening. by Rev. DIR. Irving Johnson,
professor of Church History at the
Faribault Episcopal Seminary. The
Doctors address was wholesome,
helpful and entertaining and was

STILL INCREASING
County OptiOnists Win Notable Vic
tory in Polk COunty-LincOln
and Carlton Also Dry.

If the returns from the elections
held in Minnesota to date can be used
as a basis, the farmers of Minnesota
are very much against the contin-
uance of the liquor business in this
state. Monday of last week, Polk,
Lincoln and Carlton counties voted on
county option, and all of the counties
took seats on the water wagon. The
result in Polk county is more notable
because here was intrenched one of
the strongest liquor forces in the en-
tire state. Crookston and Grand
Forks gave the vets nearly 800 ma
jority but the rural districts eliminat-
ed this majority and placed the coun-
ty in the dry column by a majority
of 1,122. Fifty-three saloons and sew
eral wholesale houses and two brewer
les are put out of business in Polk
county.
The first close shave of the "dry'.
forces have had yet was in Lincoln
county, where they pulled through
with just 81 votes to spare, after
counting on 200 to 500. The "drys"
evidently were over-confdent; while
the "wets" worked hard and had
meetings in every town. An old
fractional fight in county politics en-
tered into the contest. Another fac
tor was the number of the Polish and
Bohemian farmers, who voted with
"wets" and gave them several country
precincts. Three saloons in Ivanhoe,
the only ones in the county, will go
out of business Thanksgiving night,
when their licenses expire.
Carlton county gave an emphatic
vote against the saloons with 821 ma
jority for "dry" county. This was
accomplished in spite of peculiar
reversal of form by Clouquet which
voted its saloons out in 1918 by a
majority of 113, but went "wet" by "a
majority yesterday. Carlton, a saloon
town, went dry by AZ. Thirteen sa-
looms were put out of business in
Carlton county.
Elections have been held in an even
dozen counties to date and in every
instance county option has carried.

OVER ONE MILLION DOLLAR AM
NUAL BUSINESS CUT OFF
AT MOORHEAD
MANY STENOGRAPHERS USED
RECENT HOUSE SPENT NEARLY
$4,000 FOR HELP-OTHER
CAPITOL NOTES

St. Paul, May 24.-County OPP
ton, a creation of the late legisla-
ture, scored its biggest victory with
the capture of Clay county, and those
who see in its continued progress
the eventual drying up of the state
are wondering when its triumphal
march will be stopped. Will halt
be called soon or will the rapid en-
rollment of the counties be kept up
the state? A slight check somewhere
is the only hope of those who are OPP
posed to the movement. When Clay
county was brought into the camp of
the drysN King alcohol sure suffered
body blow. In one day nearly for
ty saloons received their moveout pa
pers and a score of wholesale liquor
houses and brewery agencies were
given notice to quit. At the same
time property used in the liquor busi-
ness and located at Moorhead, with
value close to $1,OO0,000, became al
most total loss; an annual revenue
of nearly $1,000,0O0 a year went
glimmering and Moorhead, the prin-
cipal sufferer, was left to secure it's
municipal revenue through some other
source than by the legalizing of the
sale of liquor. The dry end of the
game prevailed by majority Of over
1000. The placing of Clay county
and Moorhead, known as North Da-
kota's Last Chance" in the dry col
umn is being hailed with great joy
by the temperance forces and by the
Indifferent with an Il told you so"
smile, while to the many it is only
one of the natural steps in the ulti-
mate dethronement Of the booze
forces. Admitting all this, however,
the taking over of Clay county by the
dry forces is not without it's serious
features and if the wave continues it
cannot but mean additional legisla-
ton by the lawmaking bodies to come.
The whole thing is sweeping. When
Clay county went dry Moorhead, its
principal town suffered the loss of
revenue from its thirty-one saloons
amounting to $4,000 year. An ad-
joining town was similarly hit, but
for a smaller amount. In addition
81 100000 worth of property devoted
to the traffic became valueless, not
to speak of a similar amount in an
nual revenue the distribution Of
which was general. Moorhead was
satisfied with the saloon-it voted on
the question last spring, but the rural
population was not and so it had to
go.
The last legislature passed into
history with one thing to its credit
1t bested all previous sittings in the
cost of help. For stenographers,
clerks and sergeants-at-arms the
house expended nearly $4,000 and
the senate nearly $4,000, or a total
of $83,94O.5O. The 1913 house, over
which Speaker Henry Rines of Mora
presided, spent only $4,000 for this
class of labor. The total cost of the
1915 legislature to the taxpayers was
1906, 160.27.
