BOARD OF THREE WOULD BOSS

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
These Men Would Rob Miss
Nelson of Practically All

Townley's Latest Plans.
(By stan Correspondent,


Bismarck, N. d.. Jan. s0.-A.
.. TOwnley's plans for centraliz-
Ing control Of all state institu-
tions took a new turn today
when it became known that the
league legislative bureau now
contcmplates one board OF three
members to handle all charitable
and penal institutions. all educa.
tiOnL institutions. and to take
over the duties of the state board
of education. This plan would
eliminate the present board Of
control of three members, the
present board of regents of five
members and the present board
OF education of seven members.
BY this scheme Simon j. Naele
and p. NJ. Casey, Nonpartisan
league members OF the board of
control, undoubtedly would be
railroaded out of Office. These
men have refused to appoint

have refused to discharge w. H.

Through this board the league

effect their plans for robbing

ed board would appoint q COM

(By George A. Benson.)

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 30.-Inter-

be phlegmatic and little bit too
cautious, due, no doubt, to the warm

league ballyhoos "the prostitute
press" A good morning" spoken
sometimes in terms of pity and sacri-
flee, is good for column interview,
Townley said, but one has to go far
ther than this with Mr.. Maddox, for
he is pleasant and gentlemanly and
does not carry his politics into his
personal relations with those who
have not "seen the light" So Walter
has to be drawn out. and it is not an
altogether easy task.
Mr.. Maddock's committee exercises
a guardianship over the industrial
commission bill, introduced early in
the session. and inasmuch as this bill
seeks to lay the foundation for the

bunch is confident that they are
going to make 1t in two straights

going to make it more interesting
than that for the tire men.
The Standard Four team has been
playing some good baseball through
the entire season, and their work

same caliber of playing that has
characterized them this season. The
X. C.'s have not had as much good
luck in some of their games, but
they have an aggregation of hitters

on.
The games will be called at

Tho EatefuI Hour.

Victor Murdoch, in Association
Men: What is the hour or fate in a
young mans life? I should say D.
m. That hour Is the springboard
from which most men leap to sue
cess or fall off to failure. I am also
convinced that p. m. is the fork in
the roads, one of which leads to
character and the other to the lack
of it. There are twenty-three other
hours In day, but there Is no hour
so potent as this p. M Why? This
is the answer: / mans waking hours
are divided between Industry and
leisure. To majority of mankind,
n in the evening marks the end Of
work and the beginning of leisure.
1t Is the hour when man makes a
choice of the kind of leisure he Is to
have. If he turns to the leisure that
means Improvement to his mind, his
body and his soul, he wins; IL he
turns to the pleasure reeding frivoli-
ties, he loses. It is cold bfooded
proposition, but 1t is true. Genius
is 80 per cent. hard work and the
best of leisure is shift from one
kind of work to anorner Find Of
work Ninety-nino out Of every hun
dred men who win in this world use
the time, when they are not at work,
in activities which look like work to
the loafer.
