DON'T KNOCK-BOOST.

The long hoped-for Normal school course for Bottineau has
been finally secured as an adjunct to the School of Forestry. This
desideratum has been brought about solely through the persistent
efforts of the boosters, remember that.
That the School of Forestry has, in times past, failed to stand
high in the public regard, either at home or abroad, is but too
true, and that deplorable state of affairs was brought about large
ly by reason Of the unremitting zeal of a few chronic knockers.
Not that their structures were wholly unmerited, generally there
was some foundation of fact upon which to predicate their allie
cations; however, the fact remains that no good and some harm,
both to that institution and the city in which it is located, has
resulted from their misguided efforts to expose what appeared to
them to be a public evil.
In discussing the School of Forestry recently one of Botti-
neau's principal business men remarked in effect that in order
to insure that institution an unqualified success it would be neces-
sa1y for the people of this city to stop knocking and become boost
ers; that it's fate, it's success or failure, lies solely in their hands,
and not in the hands of those who may, temporarily, be in con-
troll of it; that, under certain circumstances, criticism is always
wholesome, but it should be of a constructive rather than a de-
structive nature; that the hypercritical Pathfinder thus far
has worked nothing but harm, however we'll intentioned he may
have been; that all that is necessary to make this institution one
of the leading ones of it's class in the state is for the people of
Bottineau to unitedly and pelsstenty-in season and out of sea-
son-boost for it.
At the present time the School is, in every respect, experience
ing the highest tide of prosperity in it's history. The enrolment
for the current year is 119, and as soon as the proposed new DOR
mitory is completed, which will be not later than early Autumn,
a material increase in the attendance is assured. Then, too, the
addition of a Normal school course will greatly augment the inter-
est of pupils tributary to the school and thereby add materially
to the future enrolment but best of all it is believed that it
will awaken a long dormant feeling of pride on the part of the
citizens of this city and county in an institution which heretofore
they have regarded with Indifference, to say the least.
In the language of the street; IF you can't boost don't
knock"

A L U ENDORSEMENT.

The Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union of Burleigh
county, in convention assembled at Bismarck on the 9th inst.
unanimously adopted the following resolutions:
I'VE endorse the Norpartisan leauge and it's entire program
for the reason that the league program tends towards the abolish
Haent of profteerng by a few upon the necessities of life, espec-
tally, since we should all and each of US at this time refrain from
the accumulation of great profit to the detriment of others but
should all sacrifice that the nation may carry this war to a success
full and speedy conclusion without inficting any undue hardship
up it's citizens"
"And we also deplore the unjust treatment of Mr.. Town
ley and his co-workers and we commend their efforts to estab-
Gsh industrial democracy"
Unqualified endorsement was also given in the resolution to
the administration of Governor Lynn J. Frazier for their efficient
work in the interest of our state and all the people"
The convention also put it's stamp of approval on the calling
of the special session of the legislature and condemned the "un-
justifable attacks by certain newspapers upon these efficient and
honest men,"
The Farmers Union also pledged their support to the presi-
cent of the United States in the carrying out of his war progrma
and heartily indorsed congressman John M. Baer, George M.
Young and P. D. Norton for their active part in urging congress
to appropriate money for seed and feed to aid the farmers in the
drouth stricken states to produce a maximum amount of food.
THE convention also went on record as favoring the con-
scription of wealth as well as men and urged congress to conscript
excess war profits to defray part of the expenses Of carrying on
the war.
The resolution opposed the raising of the prices of wheat and
other grains but urges congress to take immediate action as "the
farmers must have to produce and upon all the articles that the
people eat, wear and use"
The convention was attended by more than a hundred dele
gates.

THE REBUKE OF LA TOILETTE.

Wisconsinhs General Assembly has passed a resolution con-
denning Senator La Folettes course Of opposition to this coun-
trrys participation in the war. This is as it should be, if a SEN
ator should represent his people, or a majority of them, and not
himself. It is just as well though for most Of US to remember
that for many years La Toilette, with whatever infrmities Of man
america 8 sa1@.i from na.s, homemade e junker Thsre are I 2 lot Of friends
plot the undoing Of democracy BY privilege in this country. Those
men are they who will take an unhoy pleasure in the rebuke Of La
Toilette. Many hundreds of thousands of real democrats and no
friends Of the Kaiser will always think Of the Wisconsin senator's
fanaticaly fantastic opposition to the war more in sorrow than
in anger. He has destroyed his usefulness to his own people by
his own extreme e pride Of opinion. That is the worst Of his CON
so insuficienly endowed with two saving virtues-humility and =
sense Of humor-Reedy's Mirror.

MAY RUN TRAM
 ON T0L0YANA

Some time ago request was made by Jules A. Marion and John Wig, ger for official permission to con duct a tram business at the place known as the Log Jam on the Tolo- vana river. In the recent mail the necessary permission was received, having been granted by the assistant secretary of the interior to the appli- cants. The granting of tfr request does away with all technical draw backs to the conducting of the tram business.
 The tram in question is that one which runs around a particularly difficult stretch of water or the Tolo- vana river. Prior to the installation of the tram it was necessary to portage supplies and machinery over a considerable distance in order to avoid the large mass of logs. which Obstructed the stream.
