NEW GOVERNOR NEEDED.

Up here in North Dakota we don't
know much of the politics connect
ed with the attempted removal of
Governor Ferguson of Texas.
We don't know whether he is Re-
publican, Democrat, or independ-
ent.
We don't know whether he was
elected by a big majority or a small
one.
But we do know that he is credit
ed with the statement that state
universities are undemocratic and
rich mems schools" and shut off the
years appropriation. We hope for
that reason Texas gets a new gov
ernor, for her own good and for the
lesson 1t will set demagogues in
whatever state they be found.

wANrEo-A swIMMIN HOLE.

Reading exchanges these warm
summer days is a tantalizing task.
From the pages of the big city pa
pers spring pictures OF bathing
beaches. Chicago papers picture the
gIories of Lake Michigan on a hot
summer afternoon. Duluth papers
show the shores of Lake Superior
lined with bathers. Minneapolis
papers picture the swimmers in Lake
Calhoun.

have none Of it, except that in the
raging Red.
But is the Red hopeless? The
small boy says mo" and he proves
he is right by using it quite free
ly.
But for less enthusiastic bathers,
the sticky banks and the muddy
water are not attractive. Proper ap-
proaches and some modest bath
houses would not be hard to achieve.
The bottom" is the chief problem.
Sand and gravel dumped in would
be quickly covered with silt.
Perhaps having a chance to swim
daily is one of the compensations
these less fortunate humans have for
not being able to live in Fargo. but
If any Fargo resident has an idea
on how to get a good bottom" for

write The Forum a letter about it.
Some of us among the proletariat

collected among a few thousand
persons would make a "swimmin'
hole" we're for it.

NOT SETTING PRECEDENT.

In The Forum last evening it was
suggested that German newspapers
be compelled to publish also a literal
translation of all articles published
in German.
In taking this step the United
States would be following the ac-
ton OF every other belligerent ma
ton. Promptly on the declaration of
war England and France prohibited
the use of German. German news
papers were suppressed, and even
the use Of German over the tele-
the English language could not be
legally spoken over the telephone,
even though England was her ally.
In the United States we not only
permit German newspapers to con-
tinue, but tolerate the most impas-
stoned eulogies OF The Kaiser,
vilIihcation of our own government,
and the preaching of doctrine that
borders on open sedition.

OF the northern camp idea, The
Mandan Pioneer has the following
comment!
Governor Frazier has Joined
with Governor Phillips Of Wis
consin, and several other north
ern governors in O request to
the war department that the
North Dakota guard be kept at
some northern camp especially
during the summer months.
The governors request is
commendable and from a health
standpoint it would seem the
wisest course that the depart
ment could pursue. 1t may be
possible, Of course, that it would
upset too many plans of the war
department to make the change.
But the change, we believe,
would be beneficial to the north
western guard

Press is envious. He views the de-
mands of the /. w. w. as follows:
Gosh! Four dollars a dhy

The New Rockford States Center
wants public school teachers to have
a better knowledge of agriculture.
1t says:
There is a growing sentiment
that teachers in the public
schools, especially in agricultur-
al states should have a fair
knowledge of agriculture. In
other words a public school
teacher should not be wholly
ignorant Of agriculture and the
mode of life best adopted for
country people. Agricultural
practice is so closely woven into
the every day lives of the great
majority of the people Of the
northwest that an intelligent in
terest in agriculture on the part
of the teachers, whose influence
counts for so much in the
development of the youthful
minds is considered essential. A
state that neglects to emphasize
its principal industry and to
train its children in harmony
with it is bound to be considered
decadent. measured by any sort
of progressive standard.
Commenting on the manner in
which the war will be brought home
to the United States in the next few
weeks, The Bismarck Tribune says:
We skim over the headlines of
the newspapers and don't bother
much about the bloody battles
being fought in Europe because
we can't pronounce the name OF
the cities anyway, and most Of
us haven't the remostest idea
where they are.
A single murder in the home
town makes a greater impress
sion on our minds than the kill
ing of a hundred thousand men
in the trenches.
The hundred thousand don't
disturb US very much, because
we think they're a lot of people
way off in Europe.
But If one of the hundred
thousand were ours it would be
different-wouldn't it?
And perhaps it is going to take
just this thing to arouse us from
our lethargy.

tie has started in Flanders.
Halg's report succinctly opened
with the phlegmatic statement
fighting started in Flanders, .
without giving details, such as
the people Of the world have
been anxiously waiting for.
For the past week there has
been artillery bombardment of
almost indescribable fury raging
along the British front, from
around Armentieres to the Bel
glan coast.
Dispatches from the front de-
scribed the artillery battle as the
superlatively greatest concen-
trated fire Of the whole war.
The detonations of the drum
fire could be plainly heard in
London, which is more than $50
miles distant.

be done with dispatch so long
as the people themselves aid the

and should be graded and fixed
up at the earliest possible mo-
ment, but if the owners Of the
different properties along the
street are to put in the water and
sewerage from time to time, as
they please, the work Of getting
Main street in proper order will
be long way off, therefore it has
been considered wise to notify all
property owners along Main
street that if they desire to con-
meet with the sewer or water
pipes they had better do so now,
before the street is graded else
to put the street back in the same
shape after the work has been
done, and this cost will then fall
upon property owners.

politics figuring in the selection
Of the man.
The new field artillery which

satisfactorily and this Tar Heel
contingent Of Col. Cox will be
found to be one Of the most ef-
ficlent Of units, when it has re-

This writer personally knows
that Judge Cox was anxious to
get back into military service
weeks before the artillery regi-
ment was formed and he has the
order and courage to make a
proud record for his regiments.
The Improvement in the local
military situation is largely due
to the rush Of the boys whose
numbers had been drawn, the
last ten days to enlist in home
companies on North Carolina re-
giments. Many who would not
have been called on the first

were wise to do so.
