therein, was dangerous to the well
fare and future of the state. They
favor a revision of the constitution by
the people-not by the legislature.
In accordance with Senator Mos
tad's concurrent resolution adopted by
both houses Saturday, Secretary Of
State Hall wired President Wilson,
the secretary of war and North Da-
kota members, urging that the rule
prohibiting guardsmen when not in
actual service from wearing their
military overcoats be abrogated, in
the case of the North Dakota boys,
returning home to a climate more
severe than they have been accus-
toned to during the last six months.
Many Of the soldiers, it is urged in
support of Mostad's resolution, have
not had time or the means to equip
themselves with civilian winter ward
robes, and if they are compelled to
shed their army overcoats, with no
adequate apparel with which to re-
place them, much suffering will result.
The secretary Of state already has re-
ceived replies to his wires from J. C.
Tumulty, secretary to the president;
Representative George M. Young and
Senator J. A. Gronna, who advise that
the matter is receiving immediate at

Governor Frazier has re-appointed

Pembina has an unused court house
on it's hands, as a result of the county
seat being moved to Cavalier some
years ago. The Pembina people are
anxious to fill this building with
orphan children and a bill has been
introduced providing funds.
Bills have been introduced in the
state legislature by both Rugby and
Larimore, asking for the location Of
the new insane hospital at one of
these points. The voters of the state
gave their endorsement at the last
election of another hospital for the
insane, but no location was specified.

The National Press Association of
America has accepted an invitation
from Canada to make a 3,000-mile
complimentary trip through western
Canada and the Canadian Rockies, by
special trains Immediately following
the annual convention in Minneapolis
next July. Upon their return from
the western jaunt, the members of the
association will embark at Kenora,
Ontario, for a trip by steamer across
the Lake of the Woods, after which
several days will be spent visiting
the interesting places in the famous
Iron Range of northern Minnesota.
Newspaper men of North Dakota who
wish to join this complimentary ex-
cursion are requested to communicate
with the editor of the Press, who is
a member of the executive council of

SCHOOLS AND POLITICS

A few newspapers of the state are
contending that Governor Frazier
should be permitted to remove the
board Of regents in order that he may
Garry out the policies" for which he
Was elected.
We fail to see wherein the board
of regents has anything to do with
the platform on which the governor
made his u for office and we fail
to see where the permitting of the
members of that board to finish the
terms to which they were appointed
is going to in any way have any eff
feet on the governors fulfilling the
commission that he received from
the people.
The people of North Dakota would
much prefer to keep the board of
regents out of politics as much as
possible, and the idea of the law
under which the present board is
operating and which provides for a
continuous board is the only correct
idea. 1t gives the schools of the
state a fixed policy and under that
sort of policy alone can they prosper.
The people of the state do not ex-
pect, nor do they want, a governor to
incorporate his own particular ideas
into the school system, and they do
not believe in a change in the system
every two or four years as the case
may be. The people realize that
every new governor would very prob
ably have different ideas than his
predecessor and they will not by any
means relish a plan that will permit
the educational institutions to be

TAKES ENLARGED HOMESTEAD

Attorney w. J.. Ray, register Of
deeds for Billings county, has taken
up 200 acres Of land under the en-
larged homestead act which gives
.h~omesteaders a chance to acquire addi-
tional government land up to an
amount not exceeding $40 acres, pro-
viding the same can be taken under
the new law in certain districts. Mr.
Ray acquired a quarter section IF
land down the river when he first
went to Billings county to reside. His
present tract is located about a mile
northeast Of Medora, where he can
secure the lease of a considerable
quantity of land and in the spring he
will likely stock up with cattle. Nels
Nichols, mis- father-in-law, has land in
the vicinity and it is expected that
they will go in together on a ranch
ing proposition. Mr.. Ray says that
all the rough vacant land around
Medora, for a long distance, both up
and down the Little Missouri river,
has been filed upon recently under the
new act. These filings were made be-
fore the register and receiver at the
Dickinson United States land office
had any definite instructions further
than that filings would be received,
and it is the opinion Of Mr.. Ray
that some people who have taken up
section tracts Of smooth land will not
be able to hold the entire amount
covered in the filing. This, how
ever, is a question to be determined
at a later date, or as soon as the
rulings are published and sent out.
The new act has had the desired eff
feet of settling up the unappropriated
lands in the Bad Lands and in the
end will be a good thing for the
people.

day. He was invited to write what
he wanted to say, with the assurance
that it would be printed, if his sig
nature accompanied it. He promptly
declined the tender, remarking that
cit would hurt his business" There
are a lot of people willing, anxious,
in fact, for things to be said in news
papers, provided they hurt the bust
ness of somebody else and not their

back in the good old days. Mr.. White
has been a subscriber to the Press
practically since it's first issue.

DESPITE MERCURY

Notwithstanding the fact that

are progressing without serious de-
lay and it is the opinion of Town
site Manager F. S. Ryus that all the
work planned will be completed be-

The work of installing the sewer
and water systems, which is being
done under contract by Craig Red
man, is practically complete. The
piping has been laid and all that re-
mains now to be done is the back
filling, or refilling the trenches.
Street grading is also going ahead
steadily on Third street and that
job will be done within a very short
time
1t is the intention of the town
site management to build walks Oh
First and Second streets before work
is suspended for the year. The work
has not yet been started, but the
streets are graded and the sidewalk
grades are in readiness for the
walks.
By the time all the work is COM
pleted, Nenana will have system of

and invade France from the south,
thus getting at the rear of the AL

Should it develop that the German

desire to deliver a crushing blow to

With the American Army on the
Frensh Front-The Americans are
in action. Troops took their places
today in the first line trenches on
the French front and the American
artillery fired the opening shot OF

time there has been intermlttant
