One occasionally hears a wondering
voice inquiring if Liliuoklani, deposed
queen of Hawaii, is still alive. Ac-
cording to Judge T. B. Stuart, of the
Hawaiian bench, now on visit to
America, the former queen, whose
reign ended in 1893, is living a vener-
able old age in comfort and content in
Honolulu, enjoying veneration and
affection amounting to worship from
her former subjects. She draws a
pension of $4,000 from the Hawaiian
government, most of which she gives
away in charities, having always been
open-handed to a fault. Her old
friends and many of her former SUBJ
jects call upon her at her home, where
she holds sort of court, still queen
to the Hawaiians. Of late years Lii
luoklani has given up travelling, but in
her earlier days was very fond of
travel and making long sojourns par
ticularly in Paris, where she INDUCED
to the full her feminine fondness for
style and shopping, and was one of
the most lavish customers of the
grand makers"

Queen Sophia of Greece is the lead
ing figure in the foremost conserva-
ton movement in her kingdom, and
the devastating forest fires which
have of late been sweeping the classic
hills of Hellas have been source of
particular chagrin to her. Many of
these mountains of Greece, once sung
by the poets of antiquity as covered
with delicious verdure, are barren
and stony, and the queen has ener-
getically preached their re-forestation
to the people, as well as the preserv-
ationof the woods and streams still in
existence. Every year she plants
tree with her own hands, with due
pomp and ceremony as an example to
the women of Greece.

Helen Varick Boswell, who is figur-
ing in the presidential compaign in
the United States as president of the
National Women's' Republican associ-
alton, is native of Baltimore, who
studied law in Washington and holds
the degree of LII. B. In 1907 she was
sent by the Federal government to in
vestigate social conditions in the Pan
anna canal zone. Her executive ability
has enabled her to fill high and res
ponsible positions in the federation of
women's clubs, in woman suffrage or
CARNATIONS and in special societies
formed to promote better social and
industrial conditions. In the former
campaign of 1912 she served the re-
publican party in much the same way
she will serve it in this contest, name
ly, as an organizer of the women who,
either as voters or contributors of
money, feel inclined to support the
party's candidate for the presidency.

THE
RACE ISSUE

every vote east against Woodrow
Wilson in the November election will
be a vote east for Germany, no matter
who casts that vote or for what can
didate it is east"
Thus the New York World, arguing
that the Republicans should also nom
mate Wilson.
In the chaste and classic language
which Woodrow Wilson once used him
self, "Ratsl"
On the contrary, every vote cast
against Woodrow Wilson in the Ne
vember election will be a vote for
America, for that America which
Woodrow Wilson has shamed and hui
inflated in the eyes of the world, for
that America which he permitted to
90 without adequate defense in order
that he might crafty his literary Il
entiousness in %groundless sneers at
those who were demanding that we
put our house in order as against that
day which he now turns to his own
purpose by describing as a time when
the world is in flames with the sparks
dangerously near to our W dwelling.
Every vote cast against Woodrow Viii
son in the November election will be
a vote cast in behalf of that America
which the Fathers made and be-
oueathed to us and which was main
tanned in glory until the day of
"watchful waiting and the era of
endless notes dawned upon a sickened
and outraged people.
The plan of the New York World
and the plan of the Wilson campaign
managers is clearly revealed. They are
seeking to raise a hideous race issue as
a desperate resort for the advantage
of a candidate foredoomed to disas-
trous defeat. 1t is a false issue. Not
even the skilled artistry of Wilson
has shown himself to be on countless
occasions since the fourth of March,
1913. His record is made. On it he
must stand until he falls beneath the
election day assaults of those whom he
has humiliaed beyond endurance. A
vote for Wilson this year will be a
vote for Germany, for England, for
japan, for Mexico-for any old coun.
try which has fouted US in these dis
NAL days while Wilson has trod the
primrose path of dalliance. A vote
against Wilson will be a vote for
AMERICA, first, last and all the time.

The eagerness with which Germany

DIsGUsTED OVER HURRIED

Dumb disgust describes the

of the socalled eighthour law,
not an eighthour law at all, but:

The disgust is not so much with
the Brotherhoods, though with
out offering a scrap Of evidence
they demanded a twenty per
cent increase in pay.
Collective bargaining is said
to develop, and no doubt does,
the self-reliance Of the men. But
when a descent on Congress

ANOTHER PIONEER
ANSWER THE CALL

The heart Of many an old tim
p in this vicinity was saddened
at the news of the death Of
Swan A. Peterson, one Of the pro.
minent and we'll known pioneers
of Burleigh County, which occur
red at his home at Painted
Woods on Sunday evening a few
minutes after six o'clockk. Mr..
Peterson had been in poor health
for the past five years but is was
not until this spring that his
condition became such that he
was unable to attend to his farm
ing and ranching interests. In
the month Of July he. was taken
to Bismarck suffering from a
stroke Of paralysis but was I'M
able to return to his home after
several weeks treatment. Dur
ing the past month he gradually
grew weaker until the end came
on Sunday evening.
Swan A. Peterson was born in
Sweden September 9th 1852,
coming to the United States
when he was sixteen years Of
age. In 1873 he, together with
Oliver Peterson, Gust. w. John
son, louis A. Larson, Peter Lof-
nes and John Satterlund left
Duluth and arrived at Bismarck
on July 18th of that year. Mr..
Peterson took up a homestead
near Painted Woods and has re-
sided there ever SINCE. becoming
extensively engaged in ranching
and farming. He together with
the five above named were the
first white settlers coming up
from Bismarck to. locate in this
territory. In 1889 he married
Miss Augusta johnson, a sister
Of John A. johnson and she,

True Education Teache.
the Student to Know
His Own Ability
By Dr.. J. G. EMERSON, Kan.a.
State Agricultural College

TRUE education consists Of more
than the acquisition of q mass
of canned ideas. More men
fail because of the lack Of their
ability to express what they know
than because Of their lack of knowl-
edge. ,
II is coming to be recognized
more and more that true education
looks toward the mental processes
Of the student himself-his ability
to think logically, to organize ideas,
to visualize knowledge in terms of
its applicability to actual living.
Public speaking may be an art,
but it is also a plain business propo-
sition, a matter Of dollars and cents.
THE PRACTICAL MAN SHOULD
KNOW HOW TO STAND SQUARE.
" ON HIS FEET AND TO EXPRESS
WHAT He KNOWS IN COMPACT,

The time was too short to re-
