HEATING THE SCHOOL HOUSES

We have noticed, not only in this
town but some others, that an abuse
may GO on for long time and nobody
say anything about it. But let some
one speak out in meeting, and then
everybody else will try to talk at once.
1t was Monday that the Star editor
was told something about the very
uncomfortable condition of the high
school house, something that had not
been complained of in his hearing be-
fore. He spoke to several school pat
rons about it, and they almost tumbled
over each other to tell him how their
children had suffered in the cold days
o. this winter. That night he wrote
an article on the subject, and when it
came it 1t seemed to strike a popular
chord on a loud note. Nobody has
disputed its truth, and nearly every
body has praised it.
We regret to find, however, that we
have at least halfway aggrieved some
Of our good friends. the district school
trustees. One of them was sorrow
fully describing to the Star yesterday
the difficulties the board had to meet,
and half in sadness, half in ocular
malice, threatened to resign and have
the Star editor elected in his place.
There is no use trying to pass the
buck to this editor. The only office
he would accept from the public would
be the vice presidency of the United
States, and he isn't keen for that. We
are very we'll aware that the office of
Cnhnnl Ic yTr,roaiI oIoI
thsnkless, but we think it would be
much better for the three citizens now
in charge to hold their offices and
profit by the few mistakes they have
made rather than resign because of
some criticism which they can easily
avoid mourning again. We don't know
of any better men to fill their places.
There is no reason why this heating
business should cause any heart
ing among the children. If the school
house can't be properly warmed, the
children should be sent home on ex-
ira cold or rainy days. We suggested
this to our begrieved friend, and he
said that if this action was taken the
teachers would have to lose their pay
fer all such days omitted from school
work.
If we were on the board of trus-
tees, and had to choose between a
dozen or so of teachers losing d days
pay, and three or four hundred chill
dren passing six or seven hours in
damp and chilly misery, the teachers
would lose every time. But this is not
necessary. We consulted the super
intendent of public instruction. Mr..
W. D. earn, and he said that the trus-
tee was mistaken; that if school had
to be suspended a day or two on &C
count of some trouble that the teach
ers would not lose their salaries. It
would be most unjust if they should,
and it must be remembered that teach
ers suffer as much as the pupils from
their cold class rooms. Unless some
thing is done to remedy the trouble,
we are afraid that a number of our
teachers will not only refuse to return
to Ocala next school term, but will
tell on the town what miserable place
they have had to teach in on cold days.
Mr.. earn. by the way, veteran
teacher himself, Endorsed the Stars
article.

RESIGNATION OF
SlCNE LUND FROM
NORMAL REPORTED
League Organ of Trail County
Admits That 1t Was Known
That Madame Lund Was a
Socialist Before School
Opened.

bismarck, N. D., Dec. 30-(Spe
cial. )-Advice comes from Mayville
that Madame Signe Lund, friend OF
Charles E. Stangeland, former educa.
tional expert of the state board O;
administration, has rendered her res.
lgnation as head of the musical de.
partment Of Mayville normal. Mrs,
Lund came to North Dakota with
Stangeland during the regular ses-
sion OF legislature year ago, and
both were Immediately placed on the
leagues payroll and later assigned
positions under the board Of admin
1stration, which manages North Da-
kota's educational institutions.
Stangeland was discharged by the
board following disclosures on the
floor of the house Of the nature of
the literature which Stangland had
ordered for the state library and its
circulating units. At the same time
women over the state and American n
legion posts made a demand for the
resignation of Madame Lund.
Commenting upon the report that
Madame Lund has resigned, which is
not confirmed here, the Peoples
Press Of Mayville, official league or
gan for Traill county, says:
Madame Lund came to Mayville
very highly recommended, and there
can be no argument against her mu-
sical talent and the fact that she is
one of the best and most talented
musicians in the United States. Re-
ports were spread even before the
normal opened that she was a social
ist and free love advocate. The re-
port that she was believer in So
cialism was true, but the report that
she was an advocate of free love was
a deplorable lie. Her belief in So
cialism does not affect her musical
talent in any way. and this is free
country, or is supposed to be at least,
and citizens are supposed to have a
right TO their own political and re-
ligious opinions and should be allow
ed the privilege of those opinions,
without being bounded and lied
about"
Eve know nothing Of Madame
Lund's resignation here" said Sec
retary Charles Liessman of the state
board of administration today. "She
may have rendered her resignation to
the institution at Mayville, but this
office has received no report OF It,"

LIGGETT APPOINTED
DEPUTY TO WORST

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 30.-Walter
W. Liggett, once st. Paul newspaper
man, later editor Of the league Cour-
ier-News, still later head of the lea
que press bureau, and, according to
popular reports, discharged from that
post during the league mass meeting
in Fargo which succeeded the closing
of the Observation-Disclosures bank,
because Of alleged differences with
J. w. Brinton, the man who founded
the league newspaper trusts has
been appointed deputy commissioner
of immigration, according to a re-
port at the capitol today.
When the immigration bill, appro-
priating 100000 for this depart
ment, was under discussion during
the regular session of 1919, Liggett
was touted as the probable commits
sioner, but he made a statement de-
claring he would not accept the job.
After the act had been approved at
the referendum election, Governor
Frazier named John H. Worst, presi-
dent emeritus of the North Dakota
agricultural college, and active head
Of that institution for quarter of a
century. Later Liggett was unoffic-
tally repor,ed t. be among the lea
que Insurgents, Sut his recent ap-
pointment would Indicate that there
was no foundation for this report.
Liggett is now understood to be in
Washington, in conference with Rep
resentative John NJ. Baer..
Mr.. Liggett, the immigration COM
mtssioner's Office announced, is to CO.
operate with the United States COM
missioner Of immigration at Wash
inEton in inducing immigrants to To-
cate in North Dakota, = provision for
this work having been made in North
pakota's immigration act. =.
on some Of the charges against him
set forth in the resolution, he said,
"You can't show it. You know you
can't show 1t, and you know you
lied"
The speaker defended his action
for employing Judge Nuchols and
Judge Lawder, declaring that they
were necessary in the prosecution of
Mr.. Sherman of the Scandinavian
bank, the elevators, and
the so-called ~fruit trust.

WILL REORCANIZE
NATIONAL GUARD
FIRST OF YEAR
Former Members Of Fighting
First Asked to Return-No
Definite Plans For Reor-
gadizing Second Regiment.

Bismarck, N. d., Dec. 30~(Spe-
cial.)-The reorganization of the old
Fighting First, North Dakota's pio-
; neer national guard regiment, will be
undertaken Immediately after the
first of the year, Adjhtant General
Fraser announced' today upon his re-
turn from conference at St. Paul
of the adjutants general of nine
states, which he called as chairman
of the executive committee Of the ma
tional guard association.
General Fraser and Generals Holo-
way of Wisconsin, Beisey of Michi-
gan, Paul of Nebraska, Lasher of
Iowa, Mccoy Of Wyoming, Rhinow Of
Minnesota and Morris of South Da-
kota, military chiefs in their respec-
tive states, and Col. Rose of New
York, chairman of the organization
committee Of the national guard as
sociation, attended the conference,
which devoted two days to discussing
plan for the reorganization of the
guard. VI
The old first will be resurrected in
it's entirety, If General Fraser has his
way, and all of the officers and men
who served with this regiment in the
Mexican border campaign and in the
hottest fighting of the worlds war
will be asked to return to their
places. No military organization in
the northwest has made more gloc-
ious record during the last thirty
years than the Fighting First, which
distinguished itself in the Philippines
in 1898-99; on the Mexican border
in. 1916, and on the west front i'll
1917 and 1918.
Col. J. H. Frame of Grafton was
commander Of the First North Da-
kota before it was changed into the
164th infantry overseas. G. C. Graf
ton Of Fargo, who, lost his life
abroad, was lieutenanf-colonel, and
other prominent military men who
grew old in the service Of the First
were Major Frank Henry Of Bis
marck, Major Boyd Of Valley City
and Major J. M. Hanley of Mandan.
An effort will be made to reorgan-
ize companies In cities where they
were formerly esta blished, as fol-
lows: Letter companies-A, Bis
marck; B, Fargo; c, Grafton; D,
Minot; E, Williston; F, Mandan: g,
Valley City; H, Jamestown: I. Walt
peton; K, Dickinson; L, Hillsboro;
M, Grand Forks; supply compang,
Grafton; headquarters, Valley City;
machine gun, Grand Forks; field hos
pital, Lisbon. -~,~
Whether the governor will formal
ly proclaim the organization Of the
First is not known. Such a step Is
not necessary, General Fraser having
the authority to proceed under fed
eral and state national guard acts.
North Dakota's national guard law
authorizes the~organization of two
regiments, but it is not believed
probable that the Second will be or
ganized Immediately. General Fra
ser has declared himself in favor CT
two regiments If the towns which
have units will agree to support
them, however.

Speaking to a crowd of over two
thousand people, which had packed
the armory for more than half an
hour before the time announced for
the beginning of his address Tuesday
night, Attorney General LANCER again
proved his right to the title OF
Fighting Bill' by his fearless and
vigorous attack on the socialistic
), schemes of the leaders of the Non
partisan League OF which he is a
member. LANCER showed some of
the connections between the League
leaders and the national and inter-
national socialistic movement, de-
claring that the people of North Da-
kota should not labor under the false
impression that the problem was in
any sense local. He reviewed the
Valley City and Scandinavian-Amer-
ican bank scandals, the Nielson-Mac-
Donald controversy, the Riba-Weber
lection Investigation, described the
,ethod used in the league caucus
Bismarck toaput the control of all
le legislation passed into the hands
! one man, and urged his hearers
rid the state of the radical leaders
..ho were responsible for this thing.
Mr.. LANCER denied the claim of the
Townley press that he, together with
Secretary of State Hall and State Au-
ditor Kositzky, had deserted the far
mers' program of. state owned utili-
ties and declared that he still sup
ported and would continue to sup
port the things for which the Nom
partisan League was originally or
ganized. Two stenographers took
down every word Of the attorney gen.
erals speech as protection against
the new ''anti-lying law" which Lam
ger referred to time and time again
challenging his opponents to prove
hat anything which he said was un-
true and reminding them that If he
was convicted Of making any untrue
statement he could be placed in the
state penftentiary for a term Of one
ear. -
introduced by Louis Allen.
The speaker was introduced by
Il. B. Alien, one Of Stutsman county's
veil known farmers, who declared in
4 IS brief Introduction, that the peo-
10 Of the county had gathered in
at great mass meeting to hear. the
cts in regard to the conditions in
,e state and that they would be CIV
1 by the attorney general. In be-
inning his address Mr.. LANCER said,
You know that we have new law
North Dakota and its kind of hard
speak, because If you make mis-
Ike or tell lie they can put you in
/ te penitentiary for year"
The attorney general then declar-
/ that this anti-lying law was but
continuation Of the reign Of ter
,rism which A. c. Townley had in
ituted when he first began the Nom
artisan League and which. was
aown in the editorial Of the Daily
