Dear Sir: ,saa ~
The following article is, worth the
consideration Of your readers, On.
titled, Peace Delayed by Bad Press"
students Of the ruling press have
In recent years frequently pointed out
that not q few modern wars were due
IN great measure to press conspira.
ctes. Many of our readers may recall
the fierce anti-Spanish agitation car.
ried by most of our leading dailies
previous to the Spanish-American war.
The famous General Won Moltke de-.
clared in his memoirs that most mod.
ern wars were precipitated by un.
scrupulous. publicists. Premier Koer.
Der OF Austria in an interview given
on December s. to Carl H. Won We
gand, correspondent Of the New York
World, EXPRESSED the opinion that a
cersain section, u the press Has much

grapple of nations. '~..' s.r''.sts''o.s,

dous responsibility. which 1T seems

same press 10 largely responsible for
the continuation Of the war and the
prevention OF peace. Through its false
reports, distortions. and suppressions

mental poisons and t3eDs the IRE of
hatred burning. Nssss -

countries to concentrate the owner

something like monopolization of
public opinion. Without the slightest

FAvoRs HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
One thing in favor of which Cover
nor.elect Frazier declared during his
visit at the capitol this week is the
establishment of state highway com.
mission, to which all fees derived
from the sale of automobile licenses
shall be turned over Good roads are
one of the new executives hobbies,
and it is almost certain that strong
recommendations looking toward the
betterment of North Dakota highways
will be embodied in his inaugural ad-
dress. .~ "'
MUCH VALUABLE CONFORMATION.
Railroad Commissioner Anderson
writes from Duluth that he and his
associates of the North Dakota COM
mission procured much valuable in
formation regarding terminal teleyat-
ors during their stay in Manitoba and
Ontario, where they found the domin-
ion officials anxious to be of the lrt-
most assistance. The commission ex-
pected to devote couple Of days to
Duluth and Superior and then to pro-
coed to the Twin Cities, which are
the last points included in the ter
minal elevator quiz itinerary.
HEARING DECEMBER 81.
A hearing on the Hettinger county
commissions petition for an injunc.
ton restraining the enforcement of
Governor Hanna's custer order will
be held next Wednesday before Judge
Crawford in the Tenth district court
at Dickinson. Should a permanent
injunction be granted, it will have
but three days to run, 50 far as are
concerned two of the commissioners,
who were defeated for reelection No
vember 7. Such an order would, how.
ever, serve as a vindication '6f the
county commissioners, who contend
the charges of malfeasance 4 brought
against them have not been substan-
tiated. &":<fa& 4'3f''r"'

AN ALL-ARoUNp MAN.

There is a general impression at
the capitol that Governor-elect Fra
zier has picked a winner in his pri-
vate secretary, N. A. Mason of VIM
bledon. Mr.. Mason speaks five lam
guages, Norwegian, German, Ohioan,
1owan, Dakotan and plain American.
He has had thorough business train
ing, is accustomed to meeting folks,
and has an easy, friendly style Of ap-
proach. which is calculated to make
visitors at the executive Offices feel
at home. Mr.. Mason was born at
Cleveland, O., where he spent seven
years before taking his parents to
Iowa, where he was reared. He came
to North Dakota u years ago. He
is good furniture man and q good
insurance agent, and it is predicted

Tabor School Notes.
BY G. G. Fites.

Miss Srstka received a visit
from her mother on Wednesday
afternoon of this week.
The school is rejoicing over the
receipt of an excellent set of relief
maps which we're deliveren a few
days ago.
Bad colds seem to be the order
Of the day, tho none of the victims
have been obliged to remain at
home on account of their trouble.
The local district institute fpr
teachers in the vicinity of Tabor
is called for Saturday, December
Is. A good program is being pre-
pared and a full attendance is ex-
pected. This will be the first To-
cal institute held here for some
time past.
Last week, the Principal attend
ed the State Teachers Meeting
held at WATERFOWL where over
two thousand teachers of the state
were in attendance. An excellent
program was carried ont and q y
ern' important measures wer, dis
cuSsed which are to be recommend
ed to the coming session of the le-
gislature. Among the more i'm.
portant ones might be mentioned
the free text books law and a new
law for c%ertification of teachers.
During the Principals absence,
the regular monthly examinations
were conducted by members of
the High School.
The perfect attendance list for
the month of November is very
good indeed. We wish that we
had the space to publish the full
Tilt of names of the pupils from
each room.
The pupils of tn e Grammar
Grades are doing some exception
ally fine work in map drawing at
the present time. If interest keeps
up in this feature of their work as
they have started out, there is no
rerson why they shoGd not stand
a good chance to win the first
prize at the state fair next fall.

The Campagna is the great plain sur

bones of dead cities from the noun

desert level tufted with rusty grass and
haloed by a mist of and ma

longs to it, which has taken powerful
hold of some and which others never
feel.
