CONVENTION :
Sibley Educational Association Will
Meet Here on Thursday and
Friday, April % and %
SPLENDID PROGRAM ARRANGED
Large Number of Teachers Expected
to Be in Attendance

The Times is printing this week tho
programs for the annual meeting Of
the Sibley Education association,
which is to be held in Cakes, Thurs-
day and Friday, April % and %. This
convention was scheduled for Oakes
last spring, but owing to the influenza
epidemic, it was postponed for one
year. Because Of the fact that it has
now been two years since the last con-
vention, it is expected that record
number of teachers will be in attend
ance.
The Sibley Education association
takes in the southeast quarter of the
state, extending from the Missouri
river to the Minnesota state line, and
from the South Dakota line, on the
south, up to and including those coun-
ties through which the main line Of
the Northern Pacific railway passes,
taking in few counties north Of that.
The officers of the association have
prepared program for the conven-
tion, which should attract large
number of the teachers of this section
Of the state. The program in full will
be printed in next weeks Times. It
includes among the speakers State
Superintendent Minnie j. Nielsen,
Prof. A. E. jerks, director of Ameri-
canization work for the state of Min
nesota, President E. Lee Howard Of
Fargo college, and President H. w.
Foght of the State Normal school at
Aberdeen, South Dakota. In addition
to these are addresses by number
of other college, normal school, high
school and public school faculty men,
bers of this section of the state; be-
sides others whose work is closely al
lied to the public school work, such as
the county nurses, boys and girls
clubs, and things of that nature.
The officers Of the association are
expecting at least five hundred teach.
ers to attend this convention. The
local arrangements are in the hands
OF committee of the Oakes Com
mercial club. To handle convention
of this size is quite a considerable
undertaking, but with the co-opera-
tion of the citizens of Oakes. it can
be done.
We are sorry that our Community
building is not completed to hold the
sessions of the convention; that our
new hotel is not yet built, so that
the delegates could find room in it
instead of being taken care of in pri-
vate homes; and that our new school
building is not yet up to show the
teachers of this section of the state,
what Oakes is doing educationally.
But while we are little late with
some of these material improvements
for this convention, we have the
boosting spirit that has made Cakes
famous. We expect to do everything
in our power to make the teachers
glad that they selected our city as
their convention place.

tee law and the laws passed at the
special session changing the member
ship of some Of the executive boards.
Last, but not least, he believes the
coming administration should exer-
else the most rigid economy possible
without sacrificing efficiency.
John Steen of Rugby, formerly
state treasurer, who was a candidate
two years ago. may also enter the
race, though he says he is not ready
to make his announcement yet. He
says that If he runs he will make it
plainly understood that he will not
tolerate compromise With Townleyism
in any way.
Now that the ice is broken, it is ex-
pected that others will get into the
game.

Rudolph's Swiss Entertainers Give

The fourth and last of this seasons

in town it isn't the fault Of one Rob-

Thursday evening Mr.. Seeds enter
tained the audience for about forty
minutes and at the conclusion Of his
address one large smile encompassed
the theatre. He did not take the
trouble to select any particular SUBJ
Fject for his discourse, preferring
rather to speak extemporaneously, or
as the spirit moved him. He has a
delightful fund of humor and be-
lieves in getting everything he can
out of life while he has a chance.
His happy personality is infectious
and we believe every person was bet
ter for having heard him. In spite of
his apparent frivolity, a thread of
good, hard common sense runs
through his lectures and his points
are well taken.

cellent advice to those who may be
less fortunate. He has seen hard
times, as well as prosperity, and his
experiences have broadened him to a
remarkable extent. Should he ever
happen to come back to Cakes he will
be greeted by a capacity house.
Rudolph's Swiss Entertainers, a
quartette of musicians, gave fifteen
minute prelude before each lecture
and finished their program after the
speaker had ended his talk. They are
musicians par excellence and delight
ed their audiences at every appear

in very pleasing manner.
The entertainments were fully up
to expectations and furnished a fit

ANNOUNCES
CANDIDACY
X. A. Nestos Comes Out for Goveruo,
Following the Entrance of
LANCER in Race
FORMER TREASURER MAY RUN
John Steen Wants to Help Gust Town
leyism from State

AS the June primary draws nearer
and nearer, those who have guberna-
torial aspirations are beginning to
make that fact known to the voters.
First, William LANCER threw his hat
into the ring, and in a flowery state
ment announced his platform, res
ume of which was published recently
in these columns. Now comes r. A.
Nestos of Minot. In announcing his
candidacy Mr.. Nestos addresses the
secretary of the I. v. A. and requests
that the matter be laid before the
members of the association. He states
that he is not now and never has been
a believer in bossism in any form,
no matter by whom exercised. He was
opposed to Mckenzie in former days
and has been opposed to Townleyism
in recent years. Mr.. Nestos believes
that the citizens of North Dakota are
capable of self government, and that
the radicalism, the preaching of class
hatred, profanity and sacrilege which
has been taught our people from the
platform during the last four years in
the name of industrial liberty and po-
litical independence has done the state
incalculable harm. If nominated and
elected he intends to eliminate as far
as possible the factional feuds of the
past and give the state harmonious
administration. He believes in the
need and value of farmers organiza-
tions.
Mr.. Nestos thinks state owned mills
and elevators for the purpose of i'm
proving marketing conditions, while
in the experimental stage, should be-
removed from politics and the amount
invested should be limited to two mil
lions until results prove the advisable
ity of investing more of the peoples
money; and the experiment should be
placed in the hands Of men friendly
to the idea in order that it may have
fair trial. He also advocates an i'm
proved rural credits law which will
make it possible to borrow money
without so much red tape, and at
low rate of interest, and that this
business should be administered
through the Bank of North Dakota.
School districts, townships and other
subdivisions should be allowed to de-
posit their funds where they can Sc
cure the highest rate of interest. The
state hail insurance law should be
amended to permit adequate protec-
tion and more efficient and econom-
ical administration of this depart
ment. The autocratic power given
the governor should be taken from
him, as too much centralization is
dangerous. Other laws which should
be repealed or amended, according to
Mr.. Nestos, are the one-man tax COM
mission law, the newspaper law, the
state sheriff law, the absent voters
law, the special investigating commit

Cruelty to Yanks Denied

Charges that "strong armed, blood.
thirsty police companies swept the
streets Of Paris making wholesale
arrests Of American soldiers" wses
denied before house war investi-
eating committee by Brigadier Cen
eral William w. Harts, former COM
mander Of American troops in the
Paris district. General Harts, who
was ordered home from Germany,
where he is chief of staff of the Amer
ican forces, to testify before the conf
mittee, also denied that prisoners
were "put through third degree to oh.
tain confessions of crime" or that
they were "beaten, threatened and in
humanely treated"
Representative Bland, republican,
Indiana, questioned the witness.
"The human element was left out
Of these companies" Mr.. Bland de-
clared. "They were a strong-armed,
blood-thirsty bunch, who were order
ed to be hard boiled"
81 object to the words blood-thirsty
and strong-armed," said General
Harts.
Representative Bland charged that
soldiers "were put through the third
degree" but General Harts said he
had not been informed of such condi-
tions.-
"That's why you are before this
committee" Bland replied. "I have
always contended you didn't know
conditions, but you will be informed" !"

 Mrs. RObt. York

Chancellor John M. Elliott yester- day granted decree of divorce to Mrs. Robert E. York, formerly Miss Ethel Burbank, member of a we'll known Pine Bluff family.
