The proceedings were brought be-

ance of the coal strike or assuming
an attitude equivalent to instruc-
tionS to the unions to continue it.
1t is also charged that they failed

prison terms.

ton, Ind, ara included in the cita-
ton. They arc charged with pay
-ment Of strike benefits in disregard
of Judge Anderson's restraining
order. Other members of the un-
ion are to be cited as soon as infor-
nation is laid before the court by
ace..e 81 inc Department of JUS
tice.
Among the charges brought
against the accused men are these;
That they limited facilities for
coal production.
That they sent. out the strike
withdrawal order on blank paper
and without the official sea! and
without the signatures Of the in
tcrnationa officers. knowing that
under these circumstances it would
be ignored.
That by comment through the
press they aided the strike by de-
claring it would continue.
The contempt proceedings are
brought under the provisions of the
Lever act, under which the restrain
ing order was issued.

and to do a good many things regardless OF cest. which
would have been entirely out of the question under nor
mai conditions
A gross blunder was made by Secretary Burleson in
undertaking to use a war emergency for the furtherance
OF a pet notion of his. and TO force upon the country as a
permanent policy that which had been adopted only be-
cause Of a pressing emergency. "a
The fact remains, unchanged by anything thai had
been done under this recent excursion into public owner
ship. that government control of industry means in al.
most all cases political control of industry. 1t means the
selection of men for important positions because they
have performed political services acceptable to the ruling
powers, and not because Of their fitness for those partic-
uar positions.
We are witnessing the expansion of this system in
North Dakota. Let it be granted that political favoritism
has always been an important element in the selection OF
men for public positions in North. Dakota. There has
been Of late certainty no diminunition of that spirit. And.
because the activities OF the state are being more and
more expanded, the list Of political appointees is being
constantly enlarged. The more we expand. the more
places there will be TO be filled, and the more politicians
will draw salaries form the public. And, as AN inevi-
table result the poorer will be the quality of the work.

AN EDUCATOR MISREPRESENTED1

The statement by Dean Kennedy, published yester
day morning, points out the manner in which an unwar
ranted use OF his name in connection with the so-callec
educational or administration bill-Senate Bill No.15-
which is to be passed on by the voters at the forthcom.
ing special election.
In the pamphlet which is being issued as a supple.
nent to certain Of the Socialist papers of the state THU
statement is made:
Dr.. Ladd. President Thomas Kane and Dean
Kennedy-to say nothing Of the other educators who
endorsed the bill-are men of the highest standing
in the educational world. They are men of unques-
toned integrity and lofty character whose lives have
been devoted to the cause of bette- education. and it
is absurd to suppose that three such men would en-
dorse and measure unless they believed it would :ad-
vance and benefit the school system Of North Dakota.
The fact that these men HAv ENDORSED this law
is a crushing refutation of the charges made by the
Chamber Of Commerce organs and professional poll
ticians.
Over his own signature Dean Kennedy declares tina,
ne did not endorse this Dill. Furthermore. he outlines
the sor, of bill that he did recommend, a bill diame,rical-
~ opposite. in all its essentials, to the bill which was
actually passed.
The plan which Dean Kennedy advised provided for
the unified control OF education in the state in the hands
Of an educational board or commission whose duty should
be that OF exercising general supervision over all educa-
tionai work, and that only. His plan did not include the
control Of hospitals and penitentiaries by that board. any
more than it included mills and factories within their
Jurisdiction. The bill under consideration places convicts
and the insane under control of the same board that deals
with schools for the normal youths of the state. The plan
which Dean Kennedy advised did not contemplate that
there should be any e%x-officio members on the board. The
pending bin provides for a board on which there are ex-
officio members. state officials who are charged with I'M
pOrtant duties in their nresent rceit;nps .-GSpt
Dean Kennedy is very temperate and courteous IN
calling attention to the Misrepresentation Of his attitude
All that is said Of him in the paragraph above quoted
is true except the statement that he approved or endorsed
this educational bill And it is proper for the people OF
the state to know, since his name has been brought into
the subject by the publication Of this pamphlet, that this
educator, WHOSE high character is admitted everywhere,
did not endorse this bill, but strongly advised the adoption
of a plan Of an entirely different character.

FRIDAY EVENING. MAY, 2. 1918.
THE SHANTUNG DECISION

According to the measre reports from Paris. the
shantang peninsula. with its key city. Kiao Chau. is to
be restored to China, from which nation it was wrested
some years ago by Germany in the approved German
manner.
The Shantung peninsula was the prize exacted from
China as the latter's share Of the Boxer indemnity. For
the injuries sustained by their citizens during the Boxer
uprising the other nations demanded. and received in
cash sums adjudged 10 be sufficient to indemnity those
who had reasonable claims for the injuries which they
had sustained. The sum received by the United States
was more than lufhcient to meet the claims, and the bal
ance was returned to China without request from that
country.
Germany was nor looking for payment for injuries
and she exacted from China a longtime lease of the
shantung peninsula. Having gained possession Of the
territory Germany intended to keep it, and to add TO her
possessions as opportunity afforded.
Doubtless Germany expected TO lose possession of
this territory when she went to war. But she expected
to win the war. and in that case she would have resumed
possession, with additions. The city and its surround
ing territory were captured by Japan early in the war,
and Japan made the specific declaration that she would
restore st TO China. She has exhibited reluctance in this
matter. but seems TO have yielded. The reported ar
rangement is that as one of the conditions of peace
Germany is to cede ALI her rights in the property to ia
pan. and the latter is to restore it TO China, where it be-
longs.
