Something should be done about the Roosevelt road, which is rapidly becoming impossible Phoenix is more interested in rehabilitation the trail than other community.

There many thousand interesting towns the United States and many thousand great agricultural communities.

There would still remain only the dam Those to whom that attraction would be strong enough would make the trip from Bowie. Having arrived at the dam and seen it they would go back because they could in other direction. We would be off from them entirely.

Instructed Delegates

MT. McAdoo has again delivered himself of a pro- test against instructed delegates He first is not the only protestant. We have heard these protests for and they have always been uttered with such unction that appear that something ulterior and sinister n instruction of delegates.
 We noticed, though that these protests generally from sources-from candidates or the friends of candidates who beneficaries the instructions and from politicians who prefer in of delegates, something mal1eabe-greater ductility offered by delegates who bound by instructions.
 Under the old system when delegates. well nominees for all offices chosen in caucuses in which the people had voice, there little to be said in of the instruction of delegates. Nor could anything be said against it. The situation was as broad long. Theoretically only, the dele gates represented people but actually, whether they instructed not, they represented only the few men that powerful enough to have lected them.
 We have now. though, many states the presi- dena preference primary designed to give people the fullest opportunity their of candidates The statement that choice amounts to instruc ton which should be disregarded.
 In his telegram Sunday friend in Oregon Mr. McAdoo said: "The next democratic national convention should be composed of uninstructed dele rates who be free exercise their unfettered judgment as to platform candidates" Those who are familiar with the operation of national conven- lions will appreciate subimity of the expression. their unfetered exercise of judgment"
 The great mass delegates exercise Judgment af not the slightest opportunity to do Perhaps one two in state delegation may participate the deberation regarding the action the convention take. but frequently tirely left out the deberation. Anyway, a small group decide the plan and the great bulk of instructed delegates might well be the sheep whose suffrages it used be stated. the Hon.

 Truly the tourists paradise. The Missions Centennial which is to be held in Hawaii in April will undoubt- edIy be one of the most beautiful This occasion commemorating the one hundredth anniversary of the landing of the first missionary in Hawaii is expected to attract people from all quarters of the globe.
 A series of original and beautiful pageants picturing the ancient Hawa- iian customs for the edification of the guests will be shown. Historical tab leaus, feird ceremonials of by-gone days, athletic events and historical pareants all with their primitive color and forms should appeal to 'everyone's imagination and interest. Those planning to book passage so as to at tend the Missions Centennial should arrange to do as early as possible at this office as bookings are very heavy.

national capitol. He says that in
the matter of federal patronage. he
will give equal weight to the recon-
mendation of women. The committee
of women formed for campaign pur-
poses to act with the regular county
and state organizations, will be con-
suited in all appointments recommend
ed by him to the new administration.
The Missouri senator>has spoiled the
plans of the old machine politicians
in almost every state by making this
announcement. 1t is probable that
the announcement of Senator Spen-
GERS policy for Missouri will be ac-
cepted by the women of other states
as a standard which senators gen.
orally will be compelled to accept.
And why not? The women of North
Dakota, for instance, showed that they
were able to do as hard and effective
work in the campaign as the men and
they should be consulted in making
the various appointments the same
as the men, 1t is probable that many
North Dakota women will be recogniz-
ed when the time comes to make these
appointments for they are as capable
of holding many Of the offices as the
men. 1t will be interesting to learn
the attitude Of Senator McCumber and
Sena tor-elect Ladd on this question.

THAT $4,000, 100000 LOSS

President Wilson recently appointed
number Of southern democrats as
new members Of the Shipping Board,
but it is expected that they will be
short lived, for when Harding and
the newly elected Senators and Con-
gressmen take charge of this old ship
of state, they will undoubtedly be re-
placed. A recent investigation show
ed that there was waste OF S2,OOO,-
900 1000 in the Administrations ship
building program. 1t is little wonder
that reaction has set in and that
the price of farm products have been
beaten down to such low figure that
farming operations are conducted at
big loss. The American people will
bend under the weight Of this enor-
NOUS debt for many years to come.
Following are some of the reasons
why the Senate will not confirm an
administration shipping board:
Thirteen hundred government-built
ships are today worth less than one
half of what the government spent
to build them.
1t cost the government $4,000, OOO,-
900 to produce these vessels and their
value is today, $1,S00,O00,O00 or less.
Losses incurred by the United
Shipping Board, through the utter COL

the work Of the organization in North
Dakota will be left in the hands of a
committee of farmers. The league
is to make a strenuous campaign in
Nebraska, Iowa and Wisconsin, and

South Dakota and Minnesota in mass

the required attention. The organ

Minot has a fine lot of boys grow
ing up but it is said by those who are
in a position to know, that there are a
few who do not give much promise of
becoming good citizens. Fully eighty
per cent of our boys are trying as
hard as they can to be good and these
boys under the proper direction will
make men in few years of which any
city could be proud. 1t has been
ascertained that the Boy Scout move
ment has done perhaps more for our
boys than any other thing that has
ever been thot out for them. Nearly
every large city has a paid Boy Scout
Master. Funds of from four to six
thousand dollars have been raised in
number of North Dakota cities to
carry on the Boy Scout work. Minot
has number of Boy Scout troops and
we are all proud of these manly lads.
More attention should be paid to this
work. Practically every boy who be-
comes interested in Boy Scout work
turns out we'll.

lists from making a market place of
certain partitions of the Jefferson high
way between Osseo and Aroka. At
this season Of the year the traffic is
unusually heavy on Sunday after
noon and the congestion which results
from est: .blishing market stalls right
on the paved highway is not only an
noying but absolutely dangerous. If
the gardeners are to sell their prod
ucts on Sunday, there should be an
order prohibiting the establishment of
stands within two or three rods of the
highway and there should be no park

Mr.. Harding fully indorses the
promise of the republican party to
make scientific study of prices Of
farm products for the purpose of re-
ducing abnormal fluctuations. He
recognizes the fact that farm prices
must go up and down according to
whether there is plentiful crop or a
short one, but he says the fluctuations
have been altogether too violent.
While he does not promise any quack
remedies, he realizes it is tremen-
dous problem, and promises to make
a thorough study of the disease and
then apply such remedy as he believes
will effect cure. He is silent on
the cause of these violent price fiuctu-
ations, but is is clearly apparent that
they are due to market manipulation
and profteering.

Names To Be Honored.

In the passing Of George w. Cooley
the.state of Minnesota loses one of it's
most useful citizens. AS an engineer
of the state highway department for a
number of years he was pioneer
evangelist for better highways. Next
to the late R. C. Dunn of Princeton, he
is to be credited with the awakening
of public sentiment for the state sys-
tenn of highways, which before the era
of automobile monopoly in use Of the
highways, solved the then existing
conditions. Engineer Cooley, in order
to garner from the experience of Eu-
rope, made trip abroad to study road
problems, and how they could be ap-
piled in practical way to Minnesota.
Out of his wisdom and investigation
came the patrol system on the state
highways, and which gave good roads
as long as the traffic was limited
largely to horse vehicles and to a
comparatively small number of auto
mobiles. It was the first step that
Minnesota took towards definite and
practical system of highway improve
ments and maintenance. It prepared

Strangeland is an announced atheist
and socialist if not an anarchist, Ma
dame Lund is notorious international

Radical publications unfit for young
and immature minds were found to be

ter these three socialists had made a
survey of the educational libraries of the
state. There could be no better agency
for inoculating and spreading social
istic propaganda than the league, for
it is we'll known that as the children
are taught so will the next generation
think and act" Miss Nelson ex-
planned that she is not fighting the
nonpartisan league but the socialistic
If the charges she made
are true, and there appears to be no
reason for doubling her veracity, it is
high time that government authorities
took a hand in the premises. This
country is no place for sowing the
seeds of anarchy.
