reaching any of our higher education
al institutions will be thru the inspir-
alton and influence of teachers trained
in the state Normal schools, the insti-
tuition whose exclusive business is pre-
pairing teachers for the elementary
schools.
Realizing the vital Importance to
the state of the influence of trained
elementary teachers, it is indeed en-
couraging to see what splendid ser
vice has already been rendered in the
apid development and substantial pro-
gress of this new institution for train
ing teachers. With strict adherence
to the ideals already established, of
scholarship, character and public ser
vice, with reasonable and adequate
financial support, with proper encour-
agement in the laws licensing teach
ers and with awakened public apprec-
iation, the new institution promises to
be one of the greatest in public ser
vice ever established by the state.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-01-25

The bill reducing the legal rate of
interest from 10 to 8 per cent is very
apt to pass both houses at this ses-
sion of the legislature. A good many
of the smaller banks in the western
part of the state are unfavorable to
this measure and number of the
bankers have written members of the
Legislature that they do not know how
they can continue to do business if
such a bill becomes a law. One sem
ator received letter in which it was
limited that no more chattel loans
might be made and the banks might
even call in the loans already out.
Bankers in the eastern part of the
state where interest rates are lower
are paying little attention to the bill
Minot bankers do not appear to be
concerned. The state has grown in
wealth and where risks are not consid-
cred so great, the interest rate is al
ways lower. The average banker
would rather loan money at per cent
and know that he can get the money
back any time that he calls for it than
to loan it out at ten per cent and feel
that the borrower might have trouble
in meeting his obligation.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-01-25

In Denver, Colo, for instance, when
the thermometer registers 35 above
the tender people consider the wealth
er too rough to venture out. In North
Dakota when it is 35 below, which oc-
ours frequently in the winter, our rug
ged people consider that it's just
about right for a four-mile walk, a
sleigh ride or an auto ride, a coasting
or skating party or a good game of
curling. Winters in North Dakota are
delight because we have developed
the habit of living out in the open to a
large extent. Our salubrious winter
air gives one much better complexion
than a massage and cosmetics. North
Dakotans live much closer to nature
and that's why we are such robust
husky race. North Dakota children
appear rosy and rugged-not puny
like the city-bred children. We have
some wonderful crops here, chief
among which is the crop of children.

North Dakota has often been called
the state without millionaire or a
pauper. There are none of the So
called "idle rich" in North Dakota The
per capita wealth is greater perhaps
than that of any Of the other states
and but few of the counties have
poor farms, while those that have have
had to convert them into experimental
farms.

present inconvenfencss OF embargoes
and congeations thar mean the loss
TO the shippers Of far more. than the
Increase in freight rates will amount
to.
Besides, we all want to see the
railroad employees get more money.
The men are entitled to wage in
crease. With their salaries raised
they will have more money to spend
with the shippers. and SO the money
keeps circulating. But we cannot
expect the railroads 10 keep increas-
ing wages and paying higher and
higher prices for materials and go on
with improvements running up into
the millions of dollars while. at the
same time, the Interstate Commerce
Commission absolutely forbids an In
crease in practically the only source
of income the railroads have. If
there is to be regulation as to the
income of the railroads, 1t is only
as to the demands to be made on
the railroads.
The railroads have committed
many sins IN the past. In sense,
they brought their present troubles
upon themselves. But there is every
reason to believe that they have
learned their lesson. The men who
now head the various systems show
a willingness to do the right thing IL
given a chance. Some of these rail-
road heads have come up from the
ranks. They want to give their en-
ployes q square deal and they also
want to give the public every consid-
Grafton. We believe that if the prin-
ciple of a square deal for both sides
is adopted neither the employees nor
the public will have cause for com
plant.
1t Is UP to the Interstate Com
merce Commission to give the square
deal at the present time. The coun-
try needs the railroads today as never
before. We are beginning to realize
their Importance. 1t is for the en-
ployes to be patient until the rail-
roads have had an opportunity to Sc
cure an income whereby they can
meet present conditions. and 1t is ZIP
to the public to see that the income
is forthcoming. This Is a patriotic
duty at this time as much as any
thing else. We are all willing to do
our bit to help the nation in tho
present crisis. Anything that is done
to help the railroads. therefore, is do
ing something big to help the nation
win the war.

Famous Women
Mary Wollstonecraft

One of the greatest of the pioneer
advocates of womens rights was
Mary Wollstonecraft who was born
near London 1853 years ago today. In
her youth she served as companion to
q wealthy woman, and conducted
successful school for girls. She be-
gan her career as an author with a
book on the education of girls, and
later contributed to periodicals and
wrote tales for children. Her Win
dication of the Rights of Women"
was so radical that she was ostra-
cized by conventional society, but
welcomed by the democrats and free
thinkers of the period. Disregarding
legal marriage as an instrument for
the enslavement of her sex, she en-
tered into a free union" with Flu
sell. the painter, but his wife soon
put q stop to that. She then went to
Paris, where she met Gilbert INLAY.
an American merchant, and became
his consort without the pale of mar
riage. After a daughter was born to
her the American deserted her. ana
she attempted suicide by leaping into
the Thames, but was rescued. Next
she took up her abode with William
Goodwin, the democrat and freethink-
er, and at last found an affectionate,
mate They werel married few
months later, and In 1897 Mary Woll-
stonecraft died. soon after giving
birth to a daughter. who became the
wife of the poet Shelley, and the
author of "Frankenstein."

A woman can easily guess where
her husband was the night before by
the way he tries to prove that he
wasn't there.
A man will make more fuss over
his pipe clogging up than his wife
will over the house burning down.
Maybe man would have better
luck If he didn't waste most OF his
time trying to prove that luck is
against him.
When a man can't quit q habit he
discovers that the habit doesn't hurt
him.
When the children are young and
active a woman doesn't have to buy
antique furniture. The furniture In
the house always looks suffleicntly
antique.
Theye Is q period In the life of q
right-handed girl when she become es

baffled. But nothing like that ever
happens to the sleuths in the novels
and movie films.

The reason q woman is always

Today We Celebrate
oUnconditlonaI surrendero Grant

"UnconditiOna1 Surrender" Grant
| While the youth of the United
States is again preparing to uphold
| the glory of the Stars and Stripes on
the battlefield, the few survivors who
wore the blue of the Union more than
half a century ago will celebrate to-
day the birthday of their great chief
tain, Ulysses Simpson Grant. Now
| that passion and prejudice born of
sectionaIism have died out, the South
as well as the North realizes that In
Grant America had one of the great
est of modern soldiers; and North
! as well as South pays tribute to the
great skill of Lee, who surrendered
| to Grant at Appomatox. If the Unit
| ed States could now produce two such
leaders as the doggedly perseverlng
and dauntless Grant. and the brilliant
and resourceful Lee. there would be
no reason to fear the strategy Of
Hindenburg.
1t now lacks but five years of a
century since Grant was born In Point
Pleasant Ohio. He started life as Hi
ram Ulysses Grant, but when prepa-
rations were being made to send him
to West Point, he noticed that his
trunk was marked in large letters
with his initials III. u. c." Fearing
the "spoofing'' of his companions, be-
cause his initials spelled hug" he re-
versed the order of his names, ana
marked his luggage "U. III. g." Ar
irving at West Point, he discovered
that the congressman who had ap-
poinetd him was under the impression
that his name was Ulysses Simpson
Grant, Simpson being his mothers
family name. Grant uncomplainingly
accepted the name under which he
was enrolled at West Point. and
thenceforth was Ulysses Simpson
Grant.
In 1862 Grant became known In
the army as Unconditional Surren-
der" Grant. In a dispatch to General
Buckner, Confederate, general who
had proposed an armistice, Grant de-
clared that his only terms were "un-
condition surrender" and. as the two
words begin with the initials of Grant
they were Immediately applied to him
and became the battlecry of the Fed
eral army. II propose to fight it out
on this line If it takes all summer"
was another declaration of Grants
which aroused his followers to now
enthusiasm.
To those young men who are soon
to receive their baptism of fire, the
following confession of the great Gen
eral Is apropos:
when 1 led my troops into The
first battle I would have given any
thing then and there to have been
in Illinois, but had not the moral
courage to retreat and consider what
to do. 1 kept right on. The place
where Harris, my opponent, had been
camping was still there, but the
troops were gone. My heart resumed
its place. 1t occurred to me at once
that Harris had been as much afraid
of me as l had been of him. This was
O. view of the situation I had never
taken before, but 1t was, one that I
never forgot afterwards From that
event to the close of the war 1 never
experienced trepidation upon con-
fronting an enemy, though 1 always
felt more or less anxiety. I never
forgot that the enemy had as much
reason to fear my forces as I had
.his,"
