WOMAN'S OPPORTUNITY.

The women of North Dakota, in the size of the
vote which they pile up in the contest between
Minnie J. Nelson of Valley City and Neil C. Mac
donald, also of Valley City, candidates for state
superintendent of public instruction, will have an
opportunity to prove to the public the extent to
which they appreciate suffrage. -.
The office of superintendent of public instruc-
ton is an important one in any state It is espe-
cially important in North Dakota because this
state to greater degree than do any of the older
commonwealth must depend upon it's public
schools for the making of Americans. If the pub
lie schools fail US, we cannot expect American
born boys and girls reared in foreign communities
to become 100 percent Americans. And there is
every indication that in many parts of North Da-
kota the public schools have been found wanting.
The women of North Dakota are the mothers of
the generations that are to be- 1t rests with them
to determine whether they shall be the mothers of
Americans or the mothers of hybrid hyphenates.
First in their homes, and then in the public schools
of which the ballot gives them control, the women
of North Dakota must carve the destiny of our
future citizens.
North Dakota women are in position to judge
between Minnie J. Nielsen and Neil Macdonald.
It is for them to say which of these two is least
liable to trucke to politics; which is the more like
ly to countenance the perpetuation OF foreignness
as a pawn for political favor.
We know where Attorney General LANCER
stands in this matter. North Dakota mothers
must know that to have American schools we
must have as superintendent of public instruction
in North Dakota man or a woman who is too
big and too brave to permit political interference
with this sacred office. Mothers of North Dakota
the destiny Of your state is in your hands-what
will you do with it?

informed as to what has been done
The Legislature of Iowa has not en-
acted anything on the language ques-
ton. Governor Harding has issued a
proclamation attempting to focus
everything and everybody on the
American language. One newspaper,
which has always opposed Governor
Harding in everything he does, has
been stirring up criticism, and in some
cases, has aroused foreign settlements
to bitter feeling against the Gov
ernOr The plea has been made that
there are odd people, in the German
churches who cannot understand
English, and therefore cannot get any
good out Of divine services. To meet
this criticism Governor Harding con-
scented that in German language
churches the sermon must be preached
in English, and then, ifs@these are : a
few "old people, who are 'unable i, to
understand what has been said, they
could remain, and the minister could
repeat the sermon. in German. This
is the point The Times criticises, be-
lieving that Governor Harding Is multi
flying a law. But Governor Harding
was trying to be reasonable and man.
ly. and. inasmuch as there had been
no law, he was not suspending a law.
\. The language question in states like
New York and in western states like
eiowa is entirely different.
In New York you are undertaking to
have foreign-born children taught to
speak and write the English language.
Out here we are struggling to prevent
Ameriean-born children from being ed
ucated to speak German to the neglect
Of the English language. In other
words, you are struggling to make
Americans out Of foreigners, and we
are struggling to prevent Americans
from being converted into foreigners.
Both states are engaged in
worthy struggle for American

FISH OR FOWL?

While no one has acquired the habit of looking
to A. C. Townley for moral uplift, here in North
Dakota he has given US to understand that he is
for prohibition. Over in Minnesota, however, we
find Townley picking for the labor party candi-
date who has pledged himself to veto any statu-
tary prohibition measure which the legislature
may pass
Wet in Minnesota and dry in North Dakota,
Townley recalls certain other we'll known reform
ers. Perhaps, in order to induce steady flow into
the league Golfers of the gigantic slush fund which
the breweries and the whiskey interests of Mime
sofa can so easily produce, our friend Townley has
gone even further and agreed that there shall
be letting down of the bars which now exclude
the mail order liquor business from this state
Townley prizes two things above all others.
They are votes and money. In Minnesota he hopes
by pledging his candidate for governor to wet
program to corrall the votes of thousands Of or
ganized labor men who have been deluded by the
brewery and distillery interests into belief that
prohibition will affect them in their
Townley also hopes, which is of even greater i'm
portance to him, to solve the leagues ever recur
ring financial difficulties by putting the saloons
millions back of the league. r@..

for governor of Minnesota, David H. Evans, has
always been an avowed prohbitionst Consist

leys crown. Evans is Lacquer. He spoke for
Lindbergh during the latter's recent unfortunate
campaign for governor of Minnesota, and upon one
occasion he took Lindbergh's place at league
meeting Another league rally was held at Evans
farm, when no city in the county concerned would
allow the league agitator to speak.
So, when David H. Evans in Minnesota announces
that he will veto any prohibition measures passed
by the Minnesota legislature, it is the voice Of
A. C. Townley that is speaking.
What promises has Townley made the liquor
interests on behalf of North Dakota? What
pledges, in private, have been exacted from Gov
ernor Frazier and Attorney General LANCER?
Both, avowedly, are prohibitionists, but so was

days to keep booze out of this state?

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
FOLLOW DOCTORS ADVICE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the first step in
the treatment of a cold, cough, in
fluenza or grippe should invariably
be "a brisk calomel purgative, pre-
ferably the nausealess calomel, called
Calotabs.' This alone is often suf-
ficent to break up a severe cold over
night, or cut short an attack of
grippe and possibly prevent pneu-
monia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow of water
that's all No salts, no nausea nor
the slightest interference with your
eating, pleasures or work. Next
morning your cold has vanished and
YOUR entire system is purified and re-
frcshed. Calotabs ere sold only in
original sealed packages; price thir-
ty-five cents. Recommended and guar
anteed by druggists everywhere.
