1t entrusted to routine clerks work
for which great executives were need
ed. and It Is not surprising hat the
clerks were swampsd.
The work Of the Federal Board for
Vocational Education is a fair sample.
That work was recently given
thorough investigation. and the evil
dence showed that because of the in
competence Of the men in charge in
jured soldiers had been compelled to
wait needlessly for the training which
would enable them to resume their
places in the industrial life of the ma
ton as self-supporting citizens. The
report Of the investigating committee
fully sustained the charges that had
been made. President Wilson is re-
spon1able for the personnel Of thai
board and the conditions under which
it worked. If he fails to take such
action as will correct the conditions
which are delaying just treatment to
the injured soldier he becomes a party
to the boards acts.

THE STRUGGLE AT FRISCO.

Now tina. the Republican v
ton is over interest viii center on b
nreliminaries for the Democratic con-
yention at San Francisco. We may
expect to see = sharp struggle over
the platform, for President Wiison
will insist on a declaration endorsing
every lot and title Of the peace treaty,
while the faction led by Bryan VIII
make a fight for a different sort OIL
declaration, one endorsing the gen.
eral principles of the treaty. but call
ing for it's ratification with such lib
cral reservations as the president has
fatty rejected. Bryan's jackson a
speech indicated clearly his attitude
on that subject and the whole ma
chinery of the administration will be
utilized to prevent his having his way
on this subject
There will be a fight over the pro-
hibition question. Mr.. Bryan is de-
tcrmined that there shall be q straight
and specific declaration in favor OF
the principle of the eighteenth
aIneuQIOont anu luG s1AOAOAS
ment of the anne Another and a
very large section Of the party is in
favor of letting h subject severely
alone. while there are those who are
likely to be members of the conven-
ton who will demand a declaration
in favor of what is usually termed as
a liberal prohibition policy.
It has been predicted that if Bryan
Is unable to control the convention on
these points he will inaugurate a re-
volt. and a revolt headed by Bryan
would be a formidable thing for the
Democratic party to encounter. On
the whole, therefore. the prospect is
for a very interesting week at San
Francisco, and the proceedings lead
ing up to the convention will by no
means be lacking in interest.

THEY MIGHT EXPLAIN.

Candidates on the Socialist ticket
who are now touring the state might
explain, for the information of the
voters Of the state. why their faction
in the legislature opposed and defeat
ed the anti-red flag law which pro-
hibits the public Haunting of flags
and other devices intended to show
sympathy with anarchy. They might
also explain why some of their num-
Der have been active in securing the
pardon Of Kate Richards O'Hare, who
regularly convicted of seditious
u%tterance and regularly sentenced to
a five-year term in a federal prison.
It would be interesting. too, to have
them explain their present attitude on
the O'Hare case. A good many thou
sand men n women have sent writ
ten protests to Washington against
the pardon of this woman. Do the
North Dakota Socialist candidates ap-
prove Of the pardon. or do they not?
Was the conviction not justified by
the evidence? If not, in what partic-
ular was it lacking? The Judge who
heard it all seemed to think that the
evidence was ample. Was he. corrupt,
or merely incompetent?
II the woman a fairly convicted.
was she given an extreme sentence?
About what measure Of discipline
