the afflicted persons on one of the islands

POOR LANCER

POOR LANCER
Poor LANCER! Raised on farm
near Casselton, thoroughly familiar
with farm and farm life: his folks
still farming in the same place; work
ed to get an education; was really con-
sidered a manly young fellow, a de-
cent student, good churchman, and
fearless states attorney, and later ex-
allied by the Townley bunch as a great
man.
Look at him now! How are the
mighty fallen? Traitor, coward. out
cast! Why? Because he does not
want to be bluffed and bull dozed and
used as an undertaking tool by Town
ley.- LANCER S university friends, as
well as his friends at Casselton and
Mandan have long wondered if he had
really lost his reputation for nerve.
and if he really would stand for the
chestnut game that Townlej has been
playing, but too much was too much.
Bill saw the taxes piling up mountain
high, and graft and grab going on all
around him. No one is wondering
about his nerve now. He defed the
bunch of bankrupts, adventures, par
asltes and cranks who had fallen upon
North Dakota like a bunch of coyotes,
bowling, yelping and sucking it's life
blood, besides making it a laughing
stock before the rest of the American
people. Now he must stand for the
smut names Townley, a BANKRUPT;
Brlnton, some kind of an ex-pug, and
Bowen of Bowman reputation, hurl at
him, the church, all failed to bring
him up to the lively standard of their
SAINTS and prophets.-Edinburg Trib-
une.
THINK 1T INTEREST SAVE
a league speaker was making a talk
at Fingal recently and was discussing
the new laws passed by the last legis-
lature. In talking about the printing
graft bill this speaker said that if the
bill was sustained it would not inter-
fere with anything outside of legal
publications required by the county
such as commissioner proceedings
and other county notices and that any
bod y could put other legal notices in
their own local paper if they so de-
sired: The speaker told celebrate
lie when he said that. The new law
Whlcn you are asked to sustain says
that all legal notices of every descrip.
ticn, including mortgage sales. pro.
bate notices, chattel mortgage sales
and every legal required by law must
be published in the one official paper
to be appointed by the state printing
commission under the new law. It is
one OF the most remarkable and vic
lous bills ever drafted and if sustain
ed will build up the biggest printing
graft the country ever saw. it would
mean the turning of all the legal bust

spend their money in reckless aban-

to the conclusion that we are not SO
crooked after all. Anyway we have

OUR YEARLY PICNIC
FEVER IS RAISING

There are indications that the ira
ditional annual picnic disease is
threatening to break out in sweeping
epidemic. In fact President c.. E.
Allen announced Friday that the pic
mic which we all like so we'll will fol-
low soon after the close of the Fran
els Memorial Oratorical Contest. MAY
it be said then that the various classes
should be thinking of the best stunt
it is capable of producing. Every stu
dent should take with him cup and
a spoon for possible use at the picnic.
There will be committees for this
and that. The Normal school will I'M
doubtedly furnish the ice cream and
the coffee. Plan to lay care aside and
have a good old-fashioned time.
Later-Friday morning President
Allen announced next Tuesday, wealth
er permitting, as official picnic day.

IN INTEREsT-sA
EQUALITY OF EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITY
Normal School Budget)

There is no equality of educational
opportunity in the United States to.
day. One boy goes to school in 8
hovel taught by a teacher relatively
uneducated and without opportunity
for professional training, without
books, shops, apparatus, or supplies,
while another boy goes to school in a
marble palace with a well-paid, splen-
didly educated, professionally-trained
teacher, with gymnasium, shops, and
Libraries available for his use. Half
of our population live in the country,
villages, and small towns. The chill
dren in these communities will rule
the nation no less certain than the
children in our large cities. Potenti-
ally they promise much for the per-
petuation and development of our
democracy. We have neglected them.
The realization of the promise of de-
mocracy will come to pass when we
accept the fact that the equalization
of education opportunity can be pro-
vided only when the wealth of the ma
ton is put back of che education of
the children of the nation.
If we seek to establish this demo-
cratic system Of education we will
need to distribute large sums of,
money appropriated by our national
government. We will need in this
field, as in the case of commerce, la
Dor, agriculture, and the rest, repre-
sentative in the Presidents cabinet.
If once we admit the fact that it is the
business of the nation to provide edu-
cation for all of the children, we must
then acknowledge this function by the
establishment of branch of the gov
eminent coordinate with those other
departments now represented in the
Presidents cabinet. We are the only
nation in the world, among those asso-
ciated with the overthrow of autoc-
racy and for the establishment of
democracy, which has not its Ministry
of Education.-Part of address by
George D. Strayer, President of the
National Education Association.

FEDERAL OFFICER
VISITS NORMAL

The fourth period was shortened
Friday in order to give the speaker
more time during chapel exercises in
which to give her message. A lady
physician, DR.. Ulrich, a representative
of the United States Public Health
Service, explained the program which
the government is fostering in COM
batting disease and distress due to So
cial evils.
DR.. Ulrich said that the war brought
out number Of astonishing truths.
One of these was the vast amount of
illiteracy which prevails and which
the government is anxious to reduce
to minimum. Another fact revealed
and brought out by the army ply
sicians was the tremendous number of
reflections due to theeffects of vene-
real diseases. DR.. Ulrich said that
the people of the United States care
fully avoided any mention Of the prev
alence OF this type of social weak
ness: We had grown accustomed to
think of Spain, France, England and
others OF the European countries as
honey-combed with these dread dis
eases. When America discovered our
condition it was great shock.
Dlseses of this kind are indicative
of our standard of social morality.
Mrs. Ulrich condemned in vigorous
terms the former tendency to pass
over as topic of discourse one of the
most vital and fundamental questions
that affect the future welfare of the
race. Sex instruction must e. given
scientifically from infancy up SO that
the teen age may have a supply Of
moral stamina to help in passing
through some of the perils of life's
greatest fact. She further condemned
the secrecy-mock secrecy-that sur
rounds and keeps the minds of our
youth from obtaining information of
the right kind in the right way from
proper sources.
What we should do and what our
federal government is striving to do is
to build up system of scientific in
struction so that the whole subject of
race perpetuation shall be approached
open mindedly and with absolute pur-
ity of thought. We must eliminate
those diseases that are causing race
deterioration.
DR.. Ulrich gave splendid talk. It
was frank, honest, and sincere-just
the kind we should hear on this sub
ject, which, after all, is one teachers
can well afford to study.

Ridicule and buffoonery are the only
weapons that the kept Townley press
can use these days to try and stem
the tide against the big program of in.
creased taxation. These papers think
that if they can hold up the state of.
ficials who refuse to endorse theil

from the main issue. You might fool
the people part of the time but the
time has gone past when you can fool
them all the time.
