The colleges have lately been the
victims u no Grant minds, who
have brought sundry charges against
them of 'rolity among the stu
dents. The criticism has apparently
arisen from the fact that social ac-
Invites in the schools have very con-
siderably expanded in recent years.
These social activities have seemed
to bring some pleasure to the stu
dents, and, perforce, they must be
signs of degeneracy.
1t is rather reassuring to read the
conclusions of DR.. Warren Sheldon,
zone of the secretaries of the educa-
tional board of the methodist church,
who has completed an exhaustive
survey in hundred colleges of va
rious types. DR.. Sheldon deprecates
the sweeping charges that have been
made, and expresses the conviction
that among college students the NOR
al conditions are at least as high as
among any other group of people of
corresponding numbers.
College dormitories, he says, are
not necessarily glowing examples of
rectitude, for "single men living in
barracks do not naturally grow into
plaster saints" But, he continues,
"My contention is that the moral
standard of any representative group
of college men is higher than a cor
responding group Of young men from
an yother field of activity"
1t is very easy to mistake the per-
fectly harmless pranks of college
students for outbreaks of viciousness,
if person is so puritanical that he
cannot understand the spirit of
youht. These manifestations of
youthful ebullition are desirable,
rather than undesirable. They may
make few folk uncomfortable, but
they Indicate a virility that will later
express itself in constructive effort.
No college can altogether protect
itself against dissipation and other
indications of evil-mindedness on the
part of few students. Students are
gathered from homes everywhere
and until the homes are perfect there
will be some students who are not
models of Righteousness. 1t is an al.
together unfair thing, however, tc
condemn a whole class for the dere-
Lotions of a few individuals. 1t is
altogether probable that the present
day colleges will turn out men anc
women of as fine moral fiber as die
the colleges of an older day. And il
is quite possible that the present gen

Wall Street Journal is intensely for
Harding and all his work, but it is
brutally frank at times. Of course,
it is not read by farmers, but by
financiers and spectators. 1t says:

'HARDINGIZE," NEW WORD
OF MANY DEFINITIONS.

The verb 80 Hardingize," is the
most recent addition to the political
vocabulary and may find perma-
nent place in the dictionary. 1t is
contributed by Senator Thaddeus H.
Caraway, the incisive and eloquent
democratic senator from Arkansas,
who carries lancet in his tongue
and Yields a shining rapier of elo-
quence with which he punctures and
pierces the shams, the hypocrisies
and the wrong-doing of the admins
tration and political opponents.
Senator Caraway credits the re-
publican administration with coming
the words "Newberryize" and "Har-
dingize," but the senator himself
furnishes the definitions.
"Newberryizing" as defined by the
senator means to buy seat in the
United States senate.
"Hardingize,' according to Sena-
tor Caraway, is susceptible of many
definitions. AS stated by him they
are:
(a) To compel the senate to re-
tain the beneficiary of a purchased
seat in that body.
(b) To go to the golf links and
leave your secretary to tell humble
supplicants who want to know why
they were driven out of public en-
ployment and their regulations be.

it hurts, but he has no other expla;

(c) To buy a $45,OOO launch, but

sea to preserve the liberty of the
world beg for secondhand clothes tc
wear an dcigarettes to smoke. (Nott

ed with his launch. The president Of

tain a private yacht. The Queen OF
the British Empire has reduced her
bill for dresses to $1,000 year
which she is forced to spend for

(d) To furlough, among others, a

reduction of the force there, who
served his country on foreign soil
three different times-Cuba, 1898;

tployee whose rating was 97.2. This,
too, in violation of the law which
says that in reducing the force in the
executive departments no honorably
discharged soldier or sailor shall be
dismissed, or reduced in rank or pay
For the purpose of accuracy and
the record, it should be stated that
the word "Hardingize" was coined by
Elmer Dover, former secretary to
Mark Hanna, and is more or less
SYNONYMOUS with "Hannaism."

tangible help from a congress that

Farmers Storing
/; Grain in Easements

New England, N. D., Oct. 25.-For
nearly two weeks the six elevators
at New England have been filled
with grain. Besides many vacant
buildings, and easements about
town have beer used to store grain
by farmers who did not wish to haul
the grain back home. Some days a
car or two is furnished by the Mil
waukee allowing one or two elevators
to ship little and again fill the ele-
vator, pit and all, with grain the farm
are waiting to market.
Much grain has ben piled in the
fields and everywhere granaries are
filled with grain. The condition is
not just local. Elevators in surround
ing towns are blocked. Farmers are
finding it difficult in many cases to
sell enough wheat to pay their help
and thresh bills.
According to Frank Milhollan,
chairman Of the state board of rail-
read commissioners, that body has
reports indicating that about 500
local elevators in the state are block
ed nd cannot accept more grain I'M

in cash in the various funds, and
81 ,067, 765.76 in workmen's compen-
sation fund, making total of
$3,310,155.32.
Tax money has not yet begun to

from the various counties add to the
total.
The money of the state is shown to
be distributed as follows: Bank of
North Dakota, $1,945, 564.77; certifi-
Gates of deposit, $2,83,5OO; due from
tered warrents, $1,000; cash on hand,

Dakota, $975,000; checking account,
Bank Of North Dakota, $92,765.76.
Because of the fact that the fiscal
year began on July 1, all funds, ex-
cept one, have a large amount to

Farmer Refuses

had been found by authorities today
of the man who stabbed Louis Berg,
farmer Of brady, in the forehead
with a knife, inflicting a severe flesh
wound which probably will not prove
fatal, according to the attending ply
stefan. The assault occurred on a
street here. The wielder of the knife
became angered when berg declined
to give him money to buy meal. The
assailant fled.
Fhe knife pierced Berg's forehead
just above the left eye, and
about three quarters Of an inch of
the blade broke off in his head. Ply
sicans say the wound would have un-
doubtedly proved fatal, had it not
been for the fact that the blade took
an upward course and did not pierce
the brain.

Officer Murder

Minot, N. D., Oct. 25.-Sufficient
information to connect two men with
the murder of Carl Peterson, night
village marshal at Wasthope, is be-
lieved to be in the hands of authors
ties, Sheriff A. P. Scofieli and Deputy
G. tP. Van Denvoser, said today,
Peterson was shot and killed by rob-
bers who were burgalarizing store at
Westhope few weeks ago.
Confessions have been obtained
from Earl Kyle of Kenmare and H. M.
Patterson, held in the county Jail at
Bottineu, by county authorities
there, Sheriff Scofield said, as the
result Of which Kyle is charged with
burglary. A murder charge may be
placed against him later. He waived
examination on the burglary charge.
Kyle, according to Sheriff Scofield,
in his written confession, says that
ne and patterson, were sitting in the
automobile used by the burglars at
Westhope when the shooting took
place, but declare that the two men
who were actually burglarizing the
store and who shot Petersoa made a
getaway and are not as yet in the
custody Of the officials.
Patterson asserts in his alleged
confession, Sheriff Scofield said, that
Kyle was the man who cut the wires
leading into the city and Kyle is said
to allege that Patterson was the
driver of the bandit car, which sped
eway with the occupants following
the murder.

ROBBERS MAKE
RAID AT BARTON

Barton, N. D., Oct. 25.-Pierce
county authorities were here inves-

the forced entrance by burglars into
the First State bank at Barton. No
attempt was made to wreck the vault
of the bank.
Merchandise, including several suits
Of clothes, overcoats and guns, were
stolen from the stores, amounting in
value to about $500. In each instance
the front door Of the building was
forced open and entrance gained in
this manner. The stores entered were
the Adolph Fering Hardware company
and the j. A. Tyzand general store.
The thieves also broke into local oil
station and took some gasoline and
oil.
The depot was also looted and $50
in cash taken from a money drawer.
When the jobs were completed, the
yeggs deserted their tools, which it
was later learned, were stolen from a
farm house near Rugby.
Barton is small village in the
northeast part of Pierce county.
