Elsewhere in this issue of the.

1916 crop Of political announce
ments so far as this county is
concerned. Mr.. O. M. Vie, Of
Braddock, announces himself a
candidate for county treasurer
subject tothe will Of the republi-,
can voters Of the county. Mr..
Vie is well qualified to fill the
position to which he aspires.
There are several conditions
which are favorable to the sue.

to do with his shying his hat In.

oppose him. He has been

many years and is particularly

Subscriber appears to see
himself slipping on his original
charge that "he would not have
given the beer if he had not been
certain that they were going to-
give him the lovine-cup, and we
think he is in the same position
as the bootleeeer who gives an.
other a bottle Of whiskey, know
ing that the other man will give
him a dollar for it" He now has
decided that the loving-cup was
secured by illegal means any
way, because the Record man
had played baseball on Sunday.
He failed to add that the states
attorney himself acted as umpire
at some of those very same
games.
Well, it looks like we could
point with pride" to our record
when these superhuman efforts
to discredit the Record publisher
amount to the untrue statements
relative to the securing of the
loving-cup and the partially
truthful statement that we shave
been a constant law violator by
playing ball during the past three
summers. We are only two
thirds guilty of that serious
charge for nary a game did we
participate in during the season
of 1914, and presumably 1914
had summer and such summer
would have to be included in "the
past three summers.
AS to the remark that Lynn &
Lynn might have some fees that

can only state that we believe in

hope that Lynn & Lynn will get

we shouldn't like to have them
get more than that. And that is
the thing we are watching.

some of the institutional towns

of success would be small, with
a successful undertaking to move

ism. We are no better than our
forefathers. Many Of us have
ancestors who lost their lives in
the various wars of this nation.
And in very few instances were
we actually attacked first. No,
instead our forefathers demanded
that their country be respected
and where they failed to secure
such merited respectful treat
ment they were willing to back
up their demands with their lives

less and remain American?

1t seems to us that Belgium
should have had such a pro-
vision. The minute they saw
what they were in for they
should have called an election
and used their ballots to shoot at
the approaching Germans. Thus
it would have been possible for
the Teutons to get to Paris before
France had completed their vote
on whether or not to declare
war.
The next thing we know some
one will want it necessary to vote
on whether or not assistance

"a matter winch promises con-
siderable excitement before the
fall election is a thing of the past
is the question of removing the
capital to New Rockford. AS
has been mentioned before, New
Rockford and those back of the
proposition have been at work
for some time and much time
and money has already been
spent.
Once in a while we hear some
person in this territory declare
that he hopes New Rockford
gets the capital lust to show
Bismarck where they are at. ;"
So far as Bismarck as city is
concerned it has not made any
great number of friends even in
the Missouri Slope. However,
any small city which has the
capital of a state is likely to be
much the same sort of a city.
And should New Rockford get
the capital there is no reason to
believe that there would be any
permanent improvement. All
the leeches and blood-suckers of
state politics are pretty likely to
make their homes in the Capital
City of any state. Bismarck has
for large percentage of its cit
liens just such a class. Many of
them are persons who were
drawn to the capital by some sort
of an elective or appointive job,
who were left high and dry at a
later time by the features of pol
itics. Many of them stay at the
capital permanently and of course
they are not as rule a partic-
ularly open-hearted bunch of
boosters for the city.
But what the Missouri Slope
people may think of Bismarck as
a city should have little or moth
ing to do with their attitude on the
capital removalieht. Eventhough
there was no Bismarck at all it
should be to their interests to
vote against New Rockford's pro-
position.
The present location is as good
as the change would be when the
entire state is considered. In the
Missouri Slope our individual in
terests should cause us to op-
pose removal. But here is the
main point, and the point which
Will do the most to defeat New
Rockford: If this undertaking
should be crowned with success,
then there is no longer any hope
of permanently located any in
stitution. 1t is preposterous to
believe that the university, the
agricultural college, the school of
mines, two normal schools, one
normal-industrial school, the in
sane asylum, the institution for
feeble-minded, the state school
of forestry, and the numer-
Gus other state institutions can
all be retained in the east half of
the state while the entire west
half Of the state rests with the
promise of another normal at
Dickinson and the reform school
at Mandan.
Just as certain as the capital is

1t was good news to all real
Americans when the papers re.
counted the fine manner in which
the U. S. Senate finally endorsed
the president in matters pertain.
ing to foreign affairs.
The resolution prohibiting
Americans from taking passage
on armed merchant ships was
tabled by vote of GO to Ia.
Had the senate refused to
support the president in this
matter we would have been
forced to abandon the position
which we have tried to hold dur
ing this war requiring all foreign
nations to observe all the rights
of neutrals. In fact, German
newspapers even declared that
Germany would not be forced to
meet the demands of Pres. Will
son because his own Congress
would not back him up.
There are very few people in
the United States that would like
to see our citizens and our
wealth thrown into the whirl-
pool of this titanic European
struggle. Yet, all real Ameri-
cans, whether they were born in
Germany, England or Madagas-
car, will not want to make this
nation appear among the others
of the world like the fawning,
boneless individuals we have
known who will endure any in
suit, put up with any outrage so
long as they are making a little
money out of it and are not be-

This nation has every reason
to consider itself the equal of any

LITERARY hYPOCRiTES.
Here's Writer Who Frankly Admits
He's One Of the Clan,

How many of Us if we were really
honest could make list of great books
that we have tried to enjoy and
couldn't rise to?
We have for our own part greater
sin than that On oar consC fence. There
are IA number of books tx at we habitu-
ally pretend we have read which we
have never read at all. They are great
books, we suppose. Al least we've
heard a lot about them and read lot
about them, and people who assume to
know say they are grea books. Some
Of them we have trie,l to read and
couldn't read, but we lave pretended
at one time or another to have read all
of them. Here is our list of shame:
TON Jones'" We have tried to read
It four times and could never get five
pages into it.

attempted it at least six times and
taken the count In the first round
every time

time. Saying nil the things that are
usually said about It. FOR which we got
50, bat we don't really like it. 1t puts
us to sleep; it seems long drawn out
and clumsy To us.
"Boswell's Life of Johnson" We
never read any of it. But we have pre-
tended to and have pretended at times
to quote incidents from it and have got
away with the Incidents.

onl" is himself using seven Latin
words to one Saxon.
Accuracy in the use of sixty-six per.
cent of our En- glish words can be
gained most surely by the mastery of
the Latin root. Are you never con-
fused by affect and "effect?" Have
you ever been guilty of directing one
to endorse" document upon it's
face? Can you distinguish at once
between "centripetal" and "centri-
fugal'' alumni" and "alumae. >"
Try Latin as a remedy.
But proficiency in English means
more than fluency and accuracy; it
means the power to be concrete. Is
it not worth while for the politician
to be able to dub voter as "recalci-
trant"-if he shows opposition-or
as the Latin puts it, "kicks back?"
What an interesting adjective gre
gariOus" is, when applied to the
crowd" man. Or perhaps you do
not know that "grex'' means "herd"
and "arius belonging to.
Have you ever noticed how limited
your boys vocabulary is? How lit
tie power he seems to show in select
ing English words? Perhaps this is
because no study he is taking makes
him aware that there are many mean
ings and shades of meanings in Eng
lish words. If he were student of
Latin he would soon learn to know
that "magnus" does not always mean
great" but that he must discrim-

Fluency, accuracy, concreteness
and power are the real assets in ones
knowledge of English, and, if so, is
Latin as high school study to be
lightly put aside?
