MinStreLS Make
Good i11 Fargo

Lowerys Greater Minstrels made
good with a Fargo audience in. the
first performance Of two-night
stand in the Orpheum theater Mon
day evening. The program, snappy,
varied and pleasing, had not been
overrated in advance notices, though
the action in the first and second
parts might have been a little more
evenly divided.
Prof. P. G. Lowery proved a splen-
did cornetist, while Leland Goldman,
the boy soprano, was a surprise,
having a finely modulated voice
without the usual falsetto tone.
Alonozo Moore, the magician, proved
a good entertainer, while Powell and
Johnson and Robinson and Robinson
were satisfying in. monologue and
dancing numbers. Uncle Eph's SER
enade was all too short.
The minstrel part of the program
was without a doubt the best ever
seen in Fargo, and was greeted with
encore after encore from the audi
ence. Splendid harmony was at
tanned in the songs.

This car is Identical to the mount
which Ira Vail has driven so succeB5s-
fully for the past two seasons and
which has been first in several
speedway events.
Earl Epperson of Dallas, Texas,
has entered Spencer Wisharts orig
inal Monk Mercer, and by those
who are in a position to know great
things are predicted from this pilot
and his speed wagon.
Roy Dawson Of Sabetha, Kas., 1.-The
Sunflower Cyclone" will be on hand
with the famous French speed crea-
ton, the Dams L'Argent. This car
was designed and built for Ralph
Mulford and is said to have unlimit-
ed possibilities Of speed. Dawson has
entered eight events on the two days
program and will also make an at
tempt on Monday afternoon to lower
the worlds record for one mile on a
half mile track.
Eddie Buchanan Of Louisville, has
filed entry and will drive the worlds
fastest miniature racing automobile
Baby Mine.
Ted LeCocq of Paris, France, has
something akin to dynamite in the
Midget Hankin and predicts thai
when he leaves Fargo he will have
established at least q new track
record if not a worlds record.
John Boyd, a young millionaire OF
operator from Tulsa, Okla, has wirec
asking for entry blanks and will II
all probability enter his Packard
Twin Six. This is a sister Cal

Another entry of note is that o:
Farmer Paul Henderson of Sar

event between Henderson in the
Submarine and Lampkin in the Benz

should prove to be one Of the mos

and some have done so. But the
majority of President Wilson's
friends are talking among them
selves of the necessity of bringing
forcibly to Mr.. Wilson's attention
that he is drifting away from the
Jriginal precepts of openness and
managing the Government in a per
sonal and private way which does
not square with his professions of
democracy.
Perhaps the most severe criticism
aeard is of Mr. Wilson's decision to
. to Europe at this critical time
tobody begrudges the President a
reat part in the settlement of the
peace of the world, nor his remark
bic influence in bringing victory to
The Allies; but the feeling of the
men who are fond of the President
and who have the courage to tell cor
espondents how they feel is that he
reated the American people with in
Inference when lie failed in his first
announcement to tell the exact pur-
| pose of his journey and the provision
he planned to make for the tralsac-
i0n Of public business in his alb
sence.
The revolt inside the Democratic
party is not of recent origin. 1t has
been growing for several months,
and may explain the lukewarm ac-
tivity of many Democratic national
committeeman in the recent election,
many of whom felt large part of
The Republican criticism of the rec
ord of the Democratic Congress was
absolutely true, and that it was use
less to try to make the people think
otherwise.
Mr.. Wilson is considering the ap-
pointment of peace delegates. Some
Of the names mentioned have
ranked in the minds of disinterested
friends who want to see America
represented by broad-minded and
able men, instead OF the same type
of provincialism which has caused
dissatisfaction throughout the coun-
try before. President Wilson may
not know it, but the morale of his
friends is at low ebb. There is no
enc but himself on whom RESPONSE
bility can be placed, and no one but
himself who can restore the conn
dence of the people in him at time
when he must nesls tell European
statesmen, skilled in the bargaining
methods Of the Old World diplo
mats, that he speaks for united
America, which doesn't want to see
selflshness supersede spirit of JUS
tice at the peace table, and is par
ticularly anxious that the sacrifices
America has made shall not have
been made in vain.

count of the resentment of the
American people for his failure to
take into the councils on foreign
affairs Republicans as well as
Democrats. 1t is true that there
are some Republicans who are not
in sympathy with Mr.. Wilson's
ideas, but many Republicans would
be, if taken into the Presidents con-
fidence.
Close friends of the President be-
lieve it is his duty, at least, to call
into confidence Republicans of all
shades of opinion and lay before
them the programme he intends to
pursue at the peace conference.
The last suggestion probobly will
not please the President, but the
time is past when friends of Nh
Wilson out of mere respect for his
likes and dislikes, can. afford to re-
main silent. One of the most curl
Gus features of the situation is thai

finally to Washington, D. c., where
it was put in the permanent exhibit
as sample of thrift work. Two
local institutes were held last year
which were we'll attended and much
interest manifested.
The Spanish flu stopped our An
nual Institute, in place of which, we
propose holding two or three one
day Institutes, during the year.
A three day institute means the
loss of a week in some districts and
we feel that time must be saved In
order to complete the years work.
I hope the time is not far distant
when our teachers will vote for the
training school to take Tie place of
three day institute. l believe they
will get more practical help. We
would still have the lectures that we
have at the Institutes. Ard in ad-
ultlOu IlG tSdClSl SOtlu fohS u'A
active par. IL the discussions and
exchange ideas.
Owing 10 the scarcity of teachers
some of cur schools were late IN
opening, but work is in full force
now, and all together the school
affairs of Morrow county are quite
promisive.
We have but one parent teachers
association in the county. This is
an important factor in its district,
| and as soon as war activities cease
more will be organized.
We have divided the county into
zones and hope to have number of
community meetings before the close
of school.
The childrens exhibit at the
County Fair was creditable, but more
than half of it was lost in trans
portation to the State Fair which was
great disappointment because we
| felt assured of holding our place in
Eastern Oregon if not capturing
first prize.
