Train No. 1 on the N. P. was very
late Sunday night the delay being &C.
casioned by a bad accident at Detroit
where four persons were killed and an
other one very seriously injured. 1t
appears that a Ford car died on the
track-the same old, old story-and
was struck by the flyer. There were
five occupants in the car and four of
them died before they could be gotten
into Fargo. The fifth one is said to be
in very precarious condition. AS far
as we can learn this was family of
people unknown in that vicinity. and
in addition to the family being in the
car they had. two small pigs in
crate, probably tied to the rear end
of the car. What became of the pigs
we did not learn. But it is again de-
that people pay too little
attention to approaching trains and
do not figure that some thing might
happen to the auto such as the stop
ping of the engine in this case.

democracy wherein there was drafted out of the first 2,000,000 men a total of 100000 men who could not read their orders or understand them when delivered, or read the letters sent them from home?
 What should be said of democ racy which calls upon its citizens to consider the wisdom of forming a League of Nations, of passing judg ment upon a code which will insure the freedom of the seas, or of sac rificing the daily stint of wheat or meat for the benefit of the Ruman ians or the Jugo-Slavs when Is per cent. of the coming citizens of that democracy do no go to school? -
 What should be said of democ racy in which one of it's sovereign States expends a grand total of $6 per year per child for sustaining it's public-school system?
 What should be said of democ- racy which is challenged by the world to prove the superiority of it's system of government over those dis reach many millions of it's people through papers printed in some for eign language?
 What should be said of democ- racy which expends in a year twice as much for chewing gum as for school books, more for automobiles than for all primary and secondary education, and in which the average teachers salary is less than that of he average daily laborer?
 What should be said of a democ- racy which permits tens of thou cans of it's native-born children to be taught American history in a for eign language-the Declaration of In dependence and Lincolns Gettys- burg speech in German and other tongues?
 What should be said of a democ- racy which permits men and women 70 work in masses where they sel- dom or never hear a word of English spoken?
 Yet, this is all true of the United States of America in this year of grace 1918, wherein was fought the Second Battle of the Marne and the Battle of the Argonne Forest
