Editors Note: This 10 another
OF 4 series Of articles upon the re-
port on North Dakota's education
Institution prepared under the d.
rection of P. p. CIaxton, federal
commissioner Of education.
In order to correct a misapprehen
sion as to the nature Of the report on
the higher educational institutions Of
North Dakota, 1t seems advisable to
state that the board OF regents merely
ordered the survey under the cond1
lions provided in the act creating the
board.
1t took no part in preparing the re-
port. The regents merely called In
these experts and their finding EN-
bodied in the report are now before

In some quarters it was thought thai
the conclusions of this report were
conclusions OF the board. The report
has been made under the direction OF

education, assisted by Dr. Edwin B.

Some real good may come OF a
short recess to allow the members to
60 back home and explain the issues
before this session. Vital matters are
under consideration, involving the fu-
ture welfare Of the state Many SEN
ators plan on holding meetings over

These are somewhat higher than those
of district courts, and the increased
burden on the respondent often is con
siderable. This is particularly true, 1t
it said, in the case of actions brought
in county courts Of Cass or some other
eastern counties by commercial col
lection agencies and then transferred
to district court in some county
where no county court exists. Such
agencies, it is said, have not been at
all careful about piling up excessive
costs.
A matter Of this nature was brought
to the attention of the supreme court
this week, and the measure above re-
ferred to was drawn at the suggestion
OF one Of the associate justices.

WOULD PROVIDE FUNDS
FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENT
FROM OVERDUE TAXES

Good roads fans will be interested
in a bill which is to be introduced in
the house by Representative Cole of
Fargo providing that the penalty and
interest on unpaid taxes shall be d.
verted to special road fund, to be
returned to the township in which the
land is taxed, to provide for general
highway improvement. A consider
able amount, it is said, will be realized
in this way, and the man who pays
the bill will have the satisfaction of
seeing his money expended on his own
roads.
The bill also will carry a provision
for the semi-annual payment of taxes,
as recommended by Governor Frazier.

The report then Is not Official In tho
sense that its findings have been ap-
proved by the regents. Doubtless tho
members of that board will find much
to criticize and much to pratze and
gradually act upon the best susges-
Ntions.
1t should be said in this connection
that the present board. OF regents 10
striving in disinterested way to bet
ter the institutions. but as matter OF
wisdom they are moving slowly. On
the board are men OF wide business
training as we'll as experience In edu'
cati0nal matters.
With these points in mind, there n
no danger in misconstruing the recon-
mendations OF the report with any pos
sible action the regents might or might
not take. The report merely embodies
the findings of the educational experts.
There Is no obligation or compulslon
to adopt any of them.

BELIEF OF SUICIDE PACT
DISPELLED BY CORONER
Evidence Conclusive That Death of
Coast Artilleryman Alexander
Was Due to Indigestion.

BALTIMORE, Md, June 27.-Develop-
ments which were unfolded here last
night in the case of Louise f. Jones OF
New York, and Frederick Alexander, a
radio sergeant in the United States
Coast Artillery, vino were found dead
in a Philadelphia hotel Saturday,
seemed to prove there was suicide
pact.
Lieut.. Roger B. Cotton of the cable
ship Joseph Henry. on which Alexander
had been stationed for the last eight
months. received a letter from Alex
ander here in which the latter said he
was going to blow out his brains. A
civilian on the same ship which reached
Baltimore harbor yesterday received a
letter from Alexander, in which he
made the same threat.
In the second letter Alexander told
his friend to say goodbye to his chums.
The letter to Lieut.. Cotton, it is
thought, was written q few hours be-
fore the couple registered at the hotel.
Another thing that was developed
here was the fact that, whether or not
the couple were married. they had tried
honestly on several occasions to wed.
This was vouched for by Lieut. Cotton

Loyal to Teutonic Allies.

Bulgarians apparently are firmly
loyal to their Teutonic allies for the
period Of the war. They say they arc
open to no overtures to abandon them
during the struggle. though willing to
use their influence against the move
ment for a so-called Hindenburg or
German peace.
There is. however. considerable surface
grumblng against the Germans based
upon the belief that the kaiser's govern
ment is exploiting them unfairly IN buy.

needed at home. denying them compen-
satory articles. such as salt and manu-
features which they urgently need. driv-
ing harder bargain for financial sub
sides than with the Turks, and taking
too much military glory. recent sys-
tenn thereof was the announcement Of the
grant OF the highest Bulgarian decoration
to a Bulgarian general relieved of his
command by Mackensen. accompanied by
an exchange of letters between the king.
the general and the Bulgarian chief of
staff wherein it was emphasized that the
plan Of the Dobrudja campaign was Gen
