Disease RACES Unchecked.


The influenza epidemic brought an
pthsr and an awful phase Of this sltua-
tion to light The uneducated displayed
during the reign OF that terrible dis
case q total disregard for all laws OF
sanitation and health.
It was apparent to those who inter-
ested themselves In the affairs of the
people that this condition must be rem
rdied. and the only way to change II
was through reforms in the school law.
Among those who so felt and who set
themselves to bring the reforms about
was Pierre s. du Pont Certainly none
Of them expected the slightest opposition
10 such a move.
But, as has been already told, the
opposition began to develop as soon as
certain farmers realized that the nine
months of the compulsory education re-
auired by the new school laws would
largely deprive them OF the child labor
TN their farms, and that properly kept
schools and adequately paid teachers
would cost them more than the institu-
lions which had survived generation

10 Wilmington and certain isolated sec
lions where intelligent people had long
before taken the matter OF school re-
form into their own hands and had pro-
their own accord.
Another class that rushed to attack
the new State school plan was the land
owner. who had been letting out his
farms on shares. These people had well
coined tenants with large families, for
they counted upon every one of the
children working on the farm.
And then there were the schools for
regroes. Under the old law II had been
impossible to tax white people to sun
port schools for black people. The negro
child had to depend for its education
upon taxes levied upon the negro
ratives and the result was exactly what
might have been expected
Beside some OF the sheds in which
these negro children sought the light of
knowledge. even the ancient, dilapidated
and unsanitary school houses of the
whites were palatial affairs And the
new law had been designed to remedy
pli of this; to have all schools; both
black and white. supported out of a
county fund raised by taxation.
Walls Heard From Natives.
When this point seeped through the
minds of many OF the natives their walls
were indeed loud.

matter pointed to the tumble down"

ARTHUR LESEUR
VISITS PLENTYWOOD
Famous Attorney of St. Paul in Plen-
tywood on Legal Business-Argues
Case Before Judge Conner.

Arthur LeSeuer, famous attorney
of st. Paul, was in sPlentywood the
latter part of last week on private
legal business and aurged the case
of Mcclure VS.. the Security State
Bank of Outlook before Judge C. E.
Conner. Mr.. LeSeuer is associated
in the case with Attorney Paul of
Redstone.
Arthur LeSeuer has been until
recently general counsel for the Non
partisan League, but recently he
severed direct connections with the
league and has engaged for a time
in the private practice of law in
which he will continue until he has
rehabitated his private fortunes
when he will again devote himself
to progressive politics. However,
he is still very closely associated
with the league and is always in
reach when his services are needed.
Mr.. LeSeuer was accompanied t.
Plentywood by a Mr.. Mcdonald OF
Detroit, Michigan, a retired lawyer
who is devoting his time to the study
of political problems.

amount of money. This money must
be raised by general subscription.
Retail merchants associations of the
State have guaranteed $20,00000 for
this fund, and the lumbermen have
been asked to get into the game Mr..
P. L. Howe, President of the Imperi-
al Elevator Company, has been very
prominent in this work, together
with Mr.. NARROW of Helena, and 9TH
ers. It has been suggested that the
retail lumbermen of the State con-
tribute $1,000 for each yard they
operate, and I have been requested
to place the matter before you. am
sure We all realize the necessity of
this work, and that unless something
is done along these lines we are apt
to have very unsatisfactory condi-
tions in the not-far-distant future.
The assessment against the lumber
men is not heavy, and it will be
money well spent. The other lines of
industry are backing up this work
very literally, and surely the retail
lumber industry should be at the
front, as we are in all other matters
which pertain to the public good.
If you will kindly mail me your
check for the amount requested, I
will seel that it is forwarded to the
proper place, and that the retail
lumber industry gets the proper
credit.
Your prompt reply and assistance
in putting his over will be greatly
appreciated.
We need your help.

WEINRICH MUST LOOK OUT FOR
sunny JIM"

If the farmers have lulled them
selves into the belief that they have
gotten rid of the political carcass OF
the Man from Glasgow they have
made a great mistake.
There is, say the wiseacres, .
move on foot to make Sunny Jim
postmaster of Plentywood, where il
is claimed that he will have a great
opportunity of using his rare eff
feiency which is claimed to be suf-
fering lately from a lack of exer-
else.
The ex-auditor has just returned
from Helena, where it was thought
that the Montana Loyalty League
would find a nice birth for him
where they could have him handy il
they needed him, maybe in case OF
fixing an election, some place in the
state, he is so experienced and eff
cient. While at Helena, it is claimed
he was assured of the ardent sup
port of Gov. Stewart and Mr.. Roy
Alley of the A. c. M. in his candi-
dacy for the Office of postmaster OF
IltHCyWOOus
All that stands in the way is to
find buyer for the property OF
Postmaster OAKS who in case he
can sell, will move closer to the
mountains.
Frank Weinrich has the money
and will probably buy the property
for the gang has simply got to dc
something for the Glasgow man and
his Roosevelt ambitions seems to
have been frosted in the bud. Faith.
full Frank will not fail his friend, il
would be taking too many chances
and if the gang at capitol hill still
has the inside with the president
Redmond will still stay among US
unless this plan should also die
abOrning.
