NATIONALIzE THE PRIMARY school,

There are fourteen million aliens in this country and
twelve million children born here of alien parentage. It
has been revealed that American optimism, or indiner-
ence. has not sufhced to cope with the problem of this
unassimilated mass. Other nations do hold conquered
people in thral, hold them down by force. Theirs COM
paratively is a simple problem, whereas that Of the
United States is complicated by our very theory of liberty
and condition Of freedom.
Nor do the aliens comprise the entire problem. There
are citizens. American in law, but alien, even hostilely
alien, in spirit The problem can, Of course. BIO halved by
shutting down abruptly on immigration and giving US a
chance to catch up with ourselves. so to speak Yet the
problem would remain, the problem Of how to render
America what is still intractable and even In part mimi
cal to the American spirit
stin the whole problem will not have been solved.
A disclosure Of ilnteracy. and what may be styled near
initeracy. has been made that is staggering to American
complacency. And the entire condition is 20 perilous
that the question is raised whether existing agencies Of
localities. communities and states are adequate to effect
a solution.
Our boasted common school education does not
cover the situation-it hasn't sufficient extension. Further
more the quality Of it cannot everywhere be relied upon.
In places it has been teaching Germanism, and disrespsct
for American ideals and American institutions In places
1t has been not consciously seditious but nevertheless has
been teaching what. In no sense. can be called sincere

CHECKING UP

With enough of the election returns in to permit a
fairly complete checking up it appears that all of the
candidates for state and congressional Offices who ran
under the auspices and with the support of the Nom
partisan league have been nominated, and that the ma
jorities of all but two Of the candidates for congress are
very large. much larger than there was reason to believe
from the returns available until more than half the pre-
cincts had reported.
The interesting thing now is the consideration Of
what is to be done next. No issue has been settled by
this election. and the character of no candidate has been
changed. Men who were worthy of support before the
election are the same men today. and those who did not
merit the confidence of the people do not merit it now.
The issue is that Of Socialism against patriotism. and
Just now Socialism is in the saddle. There is no need to
attempt to disguise that fact. And, so far as this paper
is concerned, the war on Socialism as it has been exem-
pliaed in the politics Of the state and in its influence on
the affairs Of the nation, the fight has just begun.
The confidence of The Herald in the loyalty Of the
people of the state remains mistaken. Where there is
presented to the people the straight issue Of loyalty
against disloyalty. and the people understand distinctly
that such is the issue. their vote and inauenoe will be on
the side Of loyalty. The fact in the present situation Is
that not enough Of the people are convinced that there
is any such issue, and because of their lack Of appreci-
alton Of the fact they have given consideration to other
features which have nothing to do with the main ques-
ton.
The issue now is Just what 1t was. and so long as
that issue remains unchanged, it will be the business of
this paper to state it as distinctly as it can, and to con-
tinue the fight which it has made against the influences
which, we are convinced. menace the welfare Of the
country. That means a fight, perhaps a long one, and
certainly a continuous one while it lasts. And, as the
democracies of the world will seek and accept no COM
promise in their warfare against the Hun across the
water, so The Herald will neither seek nor accept COM
promise in the warfare in which it is enlisted, and which
has for its object, first, the giving of the maximum sup
port to the government of the nation in its prosecution
of the war, and second, the establishment Of our state
government on a sound and stable basis and in the hands
Of men who have demonstrated that they are to be re-
spected and trusted.
As to the conditions which are emphasized by the
primary, we may quote the sentiment Of the philosopher
who, with reference to an undesirable condition, said:
TT is wrong: therefore it cannot endure

means Of the states that could be employed in education

one, imperative for the republic indeed. And nothing
canisn in the whole and in all the parts Of the United
States.
There would be no need of superseding the existing
means of education. The federal government need only
supplement. the existing means. But the educational
plant, which is Of the locality. ought to be fully national

WOMEN GOOD BANKERS.

London, June 29.-War experience
in the employment of women as bank
clerks has convinced British bankers
that women are able to keep business
secrets quite as we'll as men. When
women were first admitted to en-
ployment in banks h British direct
ors and managers feared that some of
their customers might withdraw their
business believing their financial at

has been found for these fears"

the somewhat significant admission that Germany did
not expect to realize her desires by the power Of her mill
macy. The tone OF the address was moderate in compar,
ison with some that have preceded it. and the speaker
threw cold water on the idea Of a Germanized Europe.
For his address 1t is reported that the secretary was
stood on the carpet by the kaiser and rebuked for his
line of talk. How much Of this is bluff and how much
sincerity cannot be known, but 1t is a fact that from a
high German source there has been an expression Of de-
sire to end the war on milder terms than have usually
been, proposed. So long as there is>an unconquered Ger

Vice-President and Advertising Manager

dealers in our product are more of the engin-
eering than the merchant class. The very
nature of the goods prohibits carrying a stock
of them. Each heating contract is a special
and separate problem. The expenditure of a
single sale is also quite large, running into
hundreds and sometimes thousands Of dollars.
The average man buys but one radiator heat
ing outfit for a lifetime. Furthermore, we find
that the average time for the transformation
of an inquiry into an order is about two years.
"The fundamental thing, however, does apply
to all products, and this fundamental thing is
to build up confidence in the quality and eff
cheney of the product.
"Our newspaper advertising creates interest
and gives us some inquiries which are promptly
referred back to the dealer in that vicinity. Our
sales organization follows up these tips and CO.
operates with the dealers to close the contract
and make the sale. If the inquiry comes from a
builder of a new house then the architect is also
worked with. Thus besides the creation of a
general attitude of confidence, in our boilers and
radiators on the part of the public, the news
paper advertising localizes this benefit and
throws the business into the hands of the local
dealers and architects.
Our statesmen are also quick to see the value OF
using this argument with the trade and archi-
tects and impressing upon them the fact that
this newspaper advertising is done for their
direct benefit. Incur company files are thous-
ands of letters written at odd times by trade
and architects expressing their appreciation Of

The Metropolitan Magazine was pro-

Here Senaor Weeks interrupted to

that Mr.. Roosevelt was a contribut-

BAKER GETS 3
RECRUITS TODAY

Roy T. Baker, Fargo, Cass county
enrolment chairman Of the United
| States public service reserve, has re-
ceived three recruits for the class of
| 20 first class engineers he proposes
| to send to Omaha, Neb., Thursday to
take examinations Of the aviation
board.
Mr. Baker is acting upon advices in
telegram from Lieut.. Chas. ]. Gid
den, president of the aviation exam
lining board, which shows exception
al opportunities for men with the
proper qualifications.
The telegram follows:
e'Walter Harrison Of your city says
you know of 20 to 80 men of excel
lent qualifications and character. If
YOU can recommend, and send them
here at their expense as a special
delegation prepared to stay three
days, they can be examined immedt-
.ately. $50. ..-a
Applications are considered for the
second lieutenants' commission, sal
airy $4,000, as gas enginemen
or engineer officers, il within
the draft age or perhaps four
of five years older, under three
classes: First, graduates of technt-
cal schools; second, experience
equivalent to graduation from tech
nical schools; third, mechanical, cleo
trio or mining engineers if they have
executive ability and machine shop
experience, and can acquire necessary
knowledge in seven weeks. training,
during which they are paid 800
monthly.
"They can bring with them three
letters Of recommendation, serial and
draft order numbers, and class and
division. Statement from local board
not needed in next quota. Apphca-
tions can be made out after arrival.
This is an excellent opportunity for
the right kind of persons to get into

energy to have gotten from 80 900
| to 100000 men to France this year
That is the year 1917, ! tell ne
secret, but 1t Is perfectly well known
to everybody In this group that we
have far exceeded what in August
1917, was regarded as program so
ideal that the editor of this magazine
refers to IL as a thing which we
ought to have strained every nerve
in vain but hopeless effort to as
complish.
IN response to question by
Chairman Chamberlain, the secretary
said the United States did not have
more than the minimum number Of
men in France in August, 1917. He
continued:
"And then the editor goes on:
And by next year, 1918, we could
have had 100000 men to send over,
or any part Of 100000 men which we
could ship
Now, instead of having $4,000 or
100000 men in France in 1917, we
have many more than that in France,
and instead of having a half million
men whom we could ship to France
II We could find any way to do IL in
1918, we will have more than one
half million in France early in 1918,
anu VIC nave available II the LTdhs-
portation facilities are available to
US, and the prospect is not unpromis-
ing, one and one-half million who in
1918 can be shipped to France.
Senator Weeks asked whether the
secretary knew who wrote the edi-
torial, and Mr.. Baker said he thought
it was attributed to Mr.. Wiggin, the
editor chief.
Has Been Kept Secret.
"Why" asked Chairman Chamber
Ian, have you not felt it proper to
let the public into your confidence
with reference to these things that
you are telling now?"
Senator, / confess, I have hesitat-
ed and l still hesitate, replied the
secretary. Il have here a statement
from Field Marshal Won Hindenburg,
in which he is quoted as saying in a
German newspaper, in contemptuous
fashion, of u.s. that we have advertis-
ed our preparations for this war in
an unworthy manner.
do you think, for moment,
Secretary Baker" said the chairman,
that there has been any time with
in the last year that the German
advised as to everything we have
done?"
Yes, senator, I know. If I may
reply upon the confidential infOrma-
ton which We get from confidential
sources, the German government is
still mystihed as to the number Of
men we have in France, or have haH
there at any time.
