The death of Archbishop John Ire
land, of St. Paul, yesterday, removes
one of the most noted characters of
the northwest. For thirty years he
has resided in St. Paul as Archbishop
of the Catholic diocese and in all those
years he has been one of the biggest
boosters for the northwest states dur
ing this time. He was man of great
influence in his church work and his
death is mourned by thousands Of
Catholics and Protestants alike all
over the northwest.

Our American generals over in
France are being decorated from time
to time by the soverigns of the old
world for bravery in action or for
brilliant military strategy and they
justly deserve every medal awarded
them and all loyal American citizens
are indeed proud that this is happen
ing. But at the same time if it were
possible we would like to see every
American soldier who goes over the
top get medal set with diamonds
for each soldier fighting for liberty is
a diamond in the rough who gets pol
ished by the bravery and heroism
shown every time he makes charge
over the top against the enemy. Of
course it would be impossible to give
millions of men medals but we can
give them something that will help
them push forward-money to finance
the war. Keep this thought in, mind
when the Fourth Liberty Loan Cam
paign opens up and buy bonds.

Several state papers are advocating
that it is right to continue teaching
German in the public schools. These
papers, however are non-partisan
league papers. The state council Of
defense won't let us call these fellows
pro- German so we will let you Judge
for yourselves what they are. In our
opinion no language but the United
States should be taught in our public
schools. This is the United States not
Germany, Norway, Sweden or any
other country and our language is
good enough for everybody.

Party lines will be wiped out en-
tirely this fall. The voters of North
Dakota will not follow the republican
party and it's socialistic program as
set forth by the league and there will
be more "split" tickets cast this fall
than ever before North Dakota vot-
ers are largely republican but they
will not get behind any such socialis-
tic program as that put forth last
June at the primaries and as enunci-
ated by the Townley followers. It is
possible that the ticket nominated in
June and so-called republican, will go
through at the November election, but
there will be thousands of republi-
cans who will be compelled to vote
the opposition ticket because they can
not and will not stand for socialism

Prussian Guard Long Famous.

The history of the Prussian Guard
cream of Germany's fighting men,
which was smashed by the headlong
attack of American troops at the Sec
ond Battle of the Marine, dates back
to the latter purt Of the Seventeenth
Century, when men believed In the
divine rights Of kings, and the troops
of the guard could be depended on to
protect the sacred body Of their SOW
erelgn when all other supporters fell
away.
The Prusslan Guard was once q
company Of archers, known as the
Trubant Guards. 1t was transformed
into a real fighting force by Frederick
William !. Drill with him was a ruling
passion and he lavished much atten-
ton ON his guard; securing Europe for
giants as no man under six Feet III

Periodic sleeping is undeniably an
essential to the continuance OF life, but
sleep Is required more as a means OF
recuperation from physical WEAKNESS
than from mental activity, an exchange
observes. The best thinkers are the
shortest sleepers, and on the other
hand the manual laborers require the
longest periods Of sleep. The classic

of his life Is said to have slept only
four hours n day. 1t is not so general

philosopher, in his later life did not
average more than three hours of sleep
