North Dakota faces serious crisis
in the administration of its school
system. Socialistic control is slowly
but surely fastening itself upon the
curriculum of the common schools of
the state as we'll as upon the courses
of study and policies of the higher
institutions.
1t behooves every father and mother
to weigh carefully the issue involved
in the campaign against Townleyism
and against the continuance of the
socialistic regime. If the league ma
chine is successful June 30, the
schools of the state will be wholly
dominated by the socialists.
The importation of Madame Lund
and Stangeland showed the intent OF
Townley His persecution of Miss
Minnie Nelson and the creation of
the Board of Administration were all
steps leading to the specialization of
the entire public school system and
the administration of the institutions
of learning by tried and true social
lists.
No voter should be deceived as
to the true situation. The schools
are endangered. City and county
alike are vitally concerned. Socialism
has already scored against our edu
cational system. Its adherents in this

ally interested in soldier legislation
and has repeatedly gone out of his
way to aid the interests of former SER
vice men.

NEWSPAPER CASE
APPEAL FILED IN
w.: SUPREME COURT

The Pioneer Publishing company.
Of Mandan. publishing the Pioneer,
has appealed to the supreme court the
case in which George Meyerle, of near
Glen Ullin, sued the company for
$4,000 as the result of an article pub
lished in the Pioneer at the time it
was predicted the world would come
to an end.
Meyerle alleged that the paper had
DETAINED him to the extent of $4,000
by publishing a story to the effect
that he had prepared a shroud. and
was ready to end his life as we'll as
the lives of other members of his fam
lily.
On demurrer in district court, it was
held that the complaint was sufficient
and it is on the ruling on the demurrer
that the case is appealed. The Pion-
eer Publishing company alleges the
complaint is insufficient and points to
the North Dakota law requiring that
a demand for retraction be made with
in three days after an article such as
this is published, and pointing out
other alleged defects. -
