Bury a small piece of beefsteak close

Y.M.C.A. HOLDS
ANNUAL ELECTION
Retiring Directors Reflect
ed-Successful Years
Work Shown.

The regular annual meeting and
banquet of the membership Of the
Y. NJ. G.. A. was held at the Y. NJ.
c. A. dining room last evening, nearly
one hundred partaking of the excel
lent threc-course dinner served by the
ladies'.
A. P. Clifford. P. o. Tnorson. ]. S.
son We're unanimously reelected as
directors for term of three years.
The annual report Of the boys
division III charge of II. b. Frame
was read, and showed an extensive
field OF activities in bible study, edu-
cational work, social work, meetings,
outings. organized leagues and events
of a miscellaneous nature. In all de-
partments the boys have done excel
building in April greatly extending
the field Of operations. and records
were created which will necessitate
hard work to surpass during the COM
ing year.
A report of the work of the Y. NJ.
G. A. was read by II. H. Tuttle. gen.
eral secretary. who explained that,
while some Of the technical work Of
the institution can be tabulated and
readers thereby gain an idea Of the
work being done, yet figures in them
selves do not indicate the most i'm
portant results. Success in a practi-
cal exemplification of the principles
OF virtue, business and service can
never be tabulated.
Net assets OF $70.554 were shown by
the financial statement. Receipts dur
ing the year were s1o.24s and expen-
ditures $12,307, covering @ miscellane-
Gus array of items under both heads.
When considering this apparent dis
crepancy, Mr.. Tuttle explained that
allowance should he made for the
fact that when the 1916 budget was
made, revenues were estimated from
the new building. In this the directors
were disappointed. the building which
was promised for February first rot
In April. thereby occasioning a three
months loss of revenue. Thus in
stead Of having revenues as figured
for twelve months, revenues for nine
months only were received. Many
primary expenses met during this pc
riod and occasioned by the addition
Of the new building to the work will
not again occur
The principal speaker Of the even
ing was DR.. J. F.. Richard. pastor of
St. Marks Lutheran church. who
took as his subject 'The Mission of
the Young Man." supplemented by the
biblical text. Run, speak to this
young man." Rev. Richard was elo-
quent in his subject, pointing out
society's responsibility to the young
man. and the large opportunity the
Y. NJ. c. A. fills and should fill in
meeting it,

A. A. Aaker concluded the speaking

depicting a rosy future for the asso-
cations work in Grand Forks

Editor Grand Forks Herald:


I see in the papers that the leaders
of the Nonpartisan league are trying
hard to get the state constitution re-
to increase the debts Of the State Of
North Dakota, and also get hold OF
the state school fund.
Now, Mr.. Legislator. why be in such
a hurry? Neither the Nonpartisan
league program nor the league cam
paigners demanded such. a radical and
speedy action. If you league leg,sla-
tors had told the voters before the
primary election that you would revise
the constitution so you could get the
state into deeper debts. and use the
school fund for speculative purposes,
where there Is. no guarantee OF its
success, it is very likely you would
have been defeated.
Before the primary election you
league candidates stated most empha-
tically that Townley was not your die
tator. nevertheless you now approve of
every thing he advocates. The pro-
posed revision OF the constitution is
50 radical that your boss Townley did
not dare to mentionit before the cleo
ton, but you approve Of 1t Just the
same. doesn't that look suspicious {:
II you were loyal citizens you would
not attempt to change the constitution
on the proposed plan. but follow the
plan specified IN our constitution.
Justice Robinson is right when he
says your plan 10 wrong.
The state received the school lands,
and land grants to the educational in
stitutions from the federal govern.
mont for the sole purpose Of main
tanning the schools In the state. From
that land a lot Of money comes into
the school treasury. The politician
who attempts to squander or use that
money for speculative purposes is not
q friend Of our schools.
Tho league leaders say that the peo-
pie approved this measure at the elec-
ton, that is al1alses atatement.
The increased bosdlns Of the state
and the use ofa thelschool fund to
speculate with has never been de-
manded until gnovfit appears in the
revision Of the stets constitution.
The state cdnsfitstion :s already
amended so the state can build term
lnal elevators. Have you league men
any idea Of Whist itwM cost to build
