STUDY OF GREEK GIVEN UP
Fewer Students In American or Eng. fish Colleges Seem to Care for
 Ancient Language.

Every year the expression, "It Is all Greek to me-" has sharper point to 1t. The reason is that each year few. CT boys and girls study Greek. re- marks "Girard" in the Philadelphia Press.
 see by the list of students In . typical American college that only one boy In 15 now studies Greek. In the same college 30 years ago over half the students read Greek.
 A drop from 30 to less than pef cent in a generation Is going fast, and shows that Greek will soon be not ouly a dead. but a buried language in tho United States.
 And from Oxford. in England. comes . wall that the university is fast los ing ground.
 The year before the war, in 1913. D53 students entered Oxford. but 30 years earlier 784. matriculated. And of those who came in 1913, 1S0 were Rhodes scholars.
 From an Oxford man I learn that Greek Is the trouble. Cambridge uni. versity abolished Greek, but Oxford did not, although in nearly all the five preparatory schools in Englanc Geek is no longer taught.
 So 1t seems that schools do not pre- pare boys for Oxford and Oxford stands still

were presented. The judging con-
tinued in quick succession until 1880
when a short recess was taken in or
der to give all present a chance to
hear brief but excellent address by
DR. j. H. Worst. He congratulated
Emmons county on the show, and
spoke on the Importance of livestock
in North Dakota farming. Afte.
this speech time was taken for lunch.
Several had their lunch baskets along,
others were served at the three res
turants, the Presbyterian ladies served
in the Republican building, and the
Catholic ladies in the spacious North
western garage.
AT l O'Clock the Judging was re-
sumed and completed, after which the
boys stock judging made an inter-
sting sr.ctacle for an hour. A
fuller account of this event is found
IN another column.
At 2:30 the big parade took place.
Mr.. Holmboe, the Bismarck photog-
rapher, was there with his moving
picture camera, and got an excellent
picture which will be SHOWN on a film
by the immigration Department.
At three o'clock the crowd moved
to the ball park wha"e the Million
Dollar Band Concert and ball game be-
; tween Napoleon and Hazelton took
place.
In the evening the Million Dollar
Band Put forth their best efforts and
the music Emmons county people
heard will be the talk for many weeks.
The big Eastwood Stock Farm barn
couldn't commence to accommodate
the crowd that wished to trip the light
fantastic to excellent music. In all
it was big day not only for Hazel
ton but for Emmons county OF
course such undertaking requires
work, and committees in charge are to
be congratulated for the splendid way
in which the affair was handled. The
responsibility and work usually falls
on a few, but it is great satisfac.
ton to feel and know that everything
was success.

Do you believe that we in North Dakota
should permit the anarchists who shot our SOL
der boys on Armistice Day to parade thru the
streets Of our cities carrying the red flag, in
front Of their procession? Do you believe that
we should tolerate il our midst anywhere, the
emblem Of an organization which puts in its
official song-book such sacrilege as this:

Stay your Christian neghbors, by them be slain.

The State Sheriff Law

The State Sheriff Law
Why should the voters Of North Dakota Gre
ate another law enforcing office with an appro-
priation of $4,000 and with loop-hole for an
unlimited possible expense?
We have constables and justices Of the peace
in every township and in every village, police
magistrates and police force in every city. a
states attorney, sheriff and deputy sheriffs in
every county, state and county grand juries,
courts Of all kinds, an attorney generals office,
licensing and inspection department, and a
National Guard, all of it operating at the ex-
pense Of the taxpayers for the purpose Of main
tanning law and order.
We have had no serious riots or outbreaks,
and there is no reason to believe that we will
have any in the near future, so why have law
adding state sheriff and state constabulary
to all the rest of the machinery which we now
have? Do you as citizen of North Dakota be-
heve that it is wise to authorize the governor to
appoint state sheriff, who shall have authority
to order all county sheriffs deputy sheriffs, and
other peace officers, to do anything he wants
them to do, and TO remove them from office if
they fail to do It? IF the State Sheriff law is
approved on June 30th, that is what will happen
In North Dakota Talk to your neighbors about
this law. Hand them literature. Get them
along with you to meetings where they may hear
this law discussed Ask them to vote "No' on
this law on primary election day.

the Smelling Committee law, because that law
makes it possible for committee Of five men,
all of them members Of the same political faction
or party, to use $4,000 of taxpayers money for
political purposes.
This committee, or even its chairman alone,
can cause private investigations to be made for
private political purposes and, under the pre-
tense of making Investigations, political bench.
men of the Nonpartisan League can be kept a.
work in every county in the state for the benefit
of the League tickets at the expense Of all tax
payers, League or not League
It may be true of few members of the Nom
partisan League as it is Of most of the leaders
in it, that they would want such law in opera
ton for the purpose Of gaining political advan-
tage over those that are opposed to them, but
certainly majority of the league members are
too honorable to want to use either the money,
records or offices of the state government as
means of profit for themselves or for the pur-
pose of promoting their personal political be-
|iefs, or getting their personal friends into pub
|lic office. It is well to remember that any law
that works unfairly in favor of the League and
against those opposed to it, will work just as
unfairly against the League and in favor Of
those who oppose it.
No political gang Of any kind viii ever get a
chance to use this law if the people vote it down
now.
Talk to your neighbors about how needless,
expensive and dangerous this law is, ana get
them to agree with you that they are going to
vote it down.

The Absent Voters Law
Do you believe it would be wise thing for
the voters of North Dakota to so amend the
Absent Voters law as to make it possible for
cinct they may choose, by means Of the Absent
Voters ballot?
Do you believe that the women of our state
should be put in such position that they will
have to mark their ballots in the presence of
political agent, whether he is member Of the
Noppartisan League, the v. "A. OF any other
organization that IS especially interested IN our
political situation?
It Is, well enough 10 propose to maka il easier
for the women to vote But if that were the
whole motive, why not leave the lay In such
shape as to protect the secrecy Of the ballot,
which was guaranteed to every citizen that has
come into our state? Tell your neighbors about
this law and ask them to vote mo" on it.

ROOSEVELT IN
REPLY TO ROOT
Denies Cox Urges The
League Without Any
Change

CLEVELAND, Oct. 2O.-Franklin
D. Roosevelt, in an address here be-
fore the students of Western Re-
serve University, this morning de-
MED the assertion of Elihu Root that
Governor Cox insisted on ratifica-
ton of the peace treaty and league
covenant without change.
"Such a statement is fully unwar-
ranted by the facts" he siad.
His address was devoted largely
to academic discussion of the league.
He compared the establishment of
the league to the establishment of
our constitution. No one believed
the constitution perfect, he said and
no one believes the league perfect,
but both are designed to carry great
purposes"

Rich Ex-Slave Asks
No Social Equality

ATLANTA, Oct. 20.-Born slave
and now reputed to be one of the
wealthiest and most respected ne
groes in the South, David T. Howard,
II, yesterday celebrated his golden
wedding anniversary. :.
Beginning on legacy of $3.50 left
by his former master, Howard now
owns a business rated as the fourth
largest of its kind in the city.
'I never wasted time, never went
in for wild cats, never saw baseball
game and never danced a step-but
always attended to business" said
Howard "No social equality for me
no sane thinkin~ negro wants it"
The negro today, Howard said,
wants better justice in courts, better
accommodation on railroad trains
and more schools for his children.
''Too many silk shirts, and too
much good time" said he, were the
causes of racial unrest.

LODGE KISSED
ASCOX SPEAKS

PROVIDENCE, R. L, Oct. 2O,-
Probably the liveliest bombardment
of questions during his campaign
was experienced by Governor Cox
today during addresses to several
thousand persons in the public
square Holding what he called a
''town meeting" the Governor was
asked questions on the league,
liquor, Irish and other matters.
Repeating the charge that Sena-
tor Lodge formed the "basest and
most Infamous conspiracy against
the league, Governor Cox declared
Lodge was the most despised man in
America"
Loud Kisses from the audience fol-
lowed the mention of the senator's
name.
