UNIVERSITY OF WASHING
TON, June 29.--Prof. William
Frederick Meisnest, head of the
department of German, is under
fire because of lecture delivered
by him under summer school aus
pieces Monday night.
Faust" was the subject as ad-
vertised, but complaint has been
made to President Suzzallo that
there was not enough Faust
and too much German "kultur'
to suit some of those in the aud
fence.
Just what Prof. Meisnest did
say has not been fully established.
That he did offend is quite evil
dent, in view of the fact that a
meeting was held last night in
the university district to consider
the matter, and a committee was
appointed to confer with DR.. SUI
zallo.
Prof. Meisnest declines to be in
terviewed, saying that he has
turned over the manuscript of his
lecture to the president.
His critics retort that the re-
marks which proved Objectionable
were digressions from the main
subject and therefore not part
of the original manuscript.

The reason for the possible de-

The matter of having a joint
call August is still in allegiance,
and the three dates originally am
nounced stand for the present.
No word of the change in plans
had been received by national

possibility that guardsmen here

A G CORRECTION

l write asking you to make a Sigh,
correction in the item found in the
issue of the Democrat arriving at nv
home here in Monroe, WASH, this
morning, referring to the going Of
Mrs. Fleming to California. The
facts in the last are that about two
months ago our daughter Lilly. Mrs.
Soil, accompanied by her mother, went
to California at the advice and request
of DR.. Soil. My daughter was being
troubled with a chronic h~oarseness,
which the doctor had found he would
be unable to cure in this damp eli.
mate, the dampness being increased
with the unusually heavy ~rainfalls
of the past winter. This morning I
got a letter from Mrs. Fleming, in
which she says Lilly's h%oarseness is
now completely gone. However. as
a precautionary measure, DR.. Soil has
sold his hospital and practice here
and will remove to California with his
family about July fret, about which
time Mrs. Fleming expects to return
to her home in Monroe. With regards
to friends in Langdon and throughout
Cavalier county. also thanking you for
the space taken in this explanation,
l am, Sincerely Yours,

The last of the changes resultant
of the 1916 election took place Tues
day morning when the board of county
commissioners completed their task
of checking out the retiring county
treasurer. Mr.. Robert Work, and
turned the office over to his successor,
Jerry Kelland. Mr.. Works retire
ment vas not at the dictate or "say
So of the voter, but in accord with
the statutory limitation of two terms.
There is every reason to expect that
Mr.. Kelland will make good on his
new job, while of the outgoing official
his retirement from public life brings
to a close an honorable record of
painstaking service that is not marred
by an act or thought but what will
bear the light of day. Mr.. Work
may be properly termed by length of
public service the "dean' of the
court house. From the township
board in Harvey he first appeared on
the official directory as county audi.
tor, and served with a merit that was
repeatedly endorsed by his unopposed
reelection, while prior to the event of
this week a period of six years as
county treasurer round.out a career
of public service that can justly be
looked back upon with satisfaction
and pride by Mr.. Work and his sup.
porters.
