varue of ouick Decision.

AS q rule the man who has trained
himself to quick decisions and prompt
actions follows close to the right. He
does not need to debate questions as
does the man who has become a mas
ter of elaboration. His mental facul-
ties seem to work automatically and
they are generally right. I'm not sure
but that they are more often right
than they are with the man who Is
constantly Weighing pros and cons ano

He saves time because he acts quick

REMONsTRANCE IS FILED

Minot. N. D., April 2S.-The first
shot in the campaign the educators Of
North Dakota propose to wage to keep
the schools of the state out Of politics
by defeating Senate Bill No. l34, the
Townley measure adopted by the leg
islature of this state during the SEES
sion last winter for the purpose of
avenging the defeat Miss Minnie J.
Nelson administered to N. C. Mac
donald, strong Townley supporter, in
the contest for state superintendent
of public instruction, was fired at the
session of the Northwestern Educa-
ton association, when a special COM
mittee was appointed to draw up res
Olutions to be presented to the execu-
tive committee of the North Dakota
Education association asking that the
state organization launch an active
campaign against the much discussed
measure.
DR.. George D. Strayer, president
Of the National Education association,
and professor of educational admins
tration at the Teachers College of
Columbia university, who was one of
the principal speakers appearing be-
4OiC VIC SOASCHCIOII WIN 10 IIAO"IA
from coast to coast as one of the
worlds greatest educators, also took
the floor in opposition to the pro-
posed law. Dr. Strayer denounced
the bill in no uncertain terms, de-
claring it to violate the most funda-
mental principle of educational adj
ministration. He said il meant ruin
to the schools of North Dakota and
declared it the duty of the voters of
this state, and particularly the educa-
tors, to see that the measure is de-
feated by an overwhelming majority
at the special election. His words rel
alive to the mental calibre Of the men
responsible for the law will hardly be
found in the campaign literature sent
into North Dakota from st. Paul.

captive was allowed every possible

he was imprisoned and his identity
concealed in order to prevent q contest

Invincible in Battle
What An American Author
Learned in Europe

Mr.. Julian Street, an author known
well in the United States, in speaking
of the conduct of the victory army in
Germany, gave the following excerpt
from letter concerning The troops
stationed at Coblenz: One family of
the upper, nobility has a seat in this
area. In the gallery of their castle
are portraits of their family dating
back through the centuries. The fam
lily consists Of count, his wife, and
seven daughters, the Youngest per-
haps sixteen. About the first of the
year.I went out with a platoon of in
fantry. The countess met ME and pro-
tested against my billeting soldiers
in her castle. made it clear to her
that my soldiers would not ,injure her
or her property in any way, or take
souvenirs as the French and Germans
were doing, but they would have to
be we'll lodged and treated with the
greatest respect. kept the men of
her state bedrooms, but put thirty
eight of them on the first floor. In
the latter part of January went out
to see them, and see if l could learn
of any activities Of the Bolsheviki.
The count speaks no English, but the
countess does. asked her if she had
any complaints to make about any of
the soldiers. She said, "No, they make
me no trouble" ! said to her, you
surely do, not make tia habit of spend
ing your; winters here in this country
place. If you are staying because you
apprehend any injury to your, prop
erty, you may go in perfect confidence
that it will be as well guarded as if
you were here" She, replied, ~ know
that. At first, for a few days, I was
afraid for my daughters; we did not
sleep. Then ! saw how fine your men
were, how correct in their behavior
toward women. We are staying here
because we are safe here and we have
food. In other parts of Germany our
class is not safe" I have had proud
moments in my life, but l, doubt If
ever felt more exalted than at that
moment, Never, since the Rhine, has

Washington, D. c., April 28.-"The
blood of all those who have fallen in
this war cries from the ground for
the formation OF some league, some
treaty, some covenant, some agree
ment, that will put an end forever to
the horrors of war and bring US
brotherhood, and peace. and good will
on earth" says James W., Gerard,
former American ambassador to Ger
many, answering arguments against
the league of nations.
THE first objection to the league
Of nations has been along the line OF
the fathers who created this cOun-
''In the first place. when President
Washington spoke Of entanglng al
liances he had just freed this coun-
try with the aid of an alliance with
France.
Then, too, we expect that this
league is something that will Olsen
tangle all alliances, that will do away
in the future with all Of these little
alliances, the triple alliance. or the
quadruple alliance or the entente, or
all of this ''balance or power that
has brought about so many wars in
Europe. -|
The second great objection made
generally to- the league Of nations
generally to the league is that we are
giving up our sovereignty. we give
up the right of international murder
which is called war. We are not
obliged by the terms Of the covenant
proposed to send any force to war;
we are only compelled to declare a fl
nancial boycott. commercial as well,
against any nation which makes war
against the mandate of the executive
council of the league That is a
small price to pay If we can end war.

Over in Europe it seems they are
exchanging notes again. Let US hope
it is not going to end with a Lusitania
disaster. The people in this country
want peace, but it does not seem
to be the great desire of a very large
proportion of the peoples of Europe,
unless they can get peace on their
own terms. And this is the founda-
ton of the fears of many good people
in this country, who sincerely desire
a League of Nations, but wonder
whether the United States can afford
to take part in the disputes of Europe,
Asia and Africa. And although our
power and influence may be great
is it possible that by taking part in
entangling alliances we might lose
the friendship of all? 1t may be that
George Washington's principals are
out of date and possibly hisstatesman-
ship is surpassed in the present day,
but at all events it is worthy of our
most sincere consideration.
