URGES ENGLISH TO STUDY ].
MORE AMERlC HISTORY

London, Feb. z .--AwaKening inter-
est in America, her political and social
life and customs, shown here daily,
will be given an added Impetus if the
suggestion made by George Peabody
Gooch in a lecture before the confer
ence of Educational Societies is adj
opted. Ii -; r. .1as 4. ~
sssaGooch, who is joint editor of the
! Contemporary Review, besides being
the author of Political Ideas from
Bacon to Halifax, and other political
studies, urged educational co-opera-
ton with America A careful study
was made of American literature in
England, he said, but the neglect Of
American history was appalling.
% The chairman, introducing Gooch,
lamented that American and English
students were not at present able to
visit one another's country in larger
! numbers and declared that the next
best thing for English students was
study Of American literature and
history. s'.:'..' ~. y. =
Emerson, Longfellow and Whit
tier, I believe" said Gooch. urging
more systematic study of American
affairs, "have been studied quite as
much in this country as they have in
America, but there are extraordinar-
ily few books by English authors
about American history and institu-
tions. d. %T.,,,>: .,t3&E,. ~,
"Macaulay wrote essays-ancient,
medieval and modern-but nothing
about America. Goodwin Smiths out
line of the development Of America
is about the best, but he only wrote
that, after he had shaken the dust of
Oxford and England from his feet
and had taken up his residence in the
stimulating atmosphere of Canada.
But the amount of British atten-
ton devoted to- America is extraor-
dinarily small, he emphasized. I'm
considering the question, we reach the
curious paradox: That we English
people only read American historians
when they are not writing about their
own country. One reason is the deep
conyiction in the British mind that
American history is dull.
"When once we break through the
crust of American history and get
really inside" he pointed out, 1--WE
are astonished at the wealth Of philo-
sophical interest. I; We have had a
sort of conviction that when America
became independent she did not con-
Germ us any more. ~ :t''' ~
eve do not want a political ALI
ance with America" Gooch conclud-
ed, "but rather an understanding
which comes from the Inheritance of
great and uplifting traditions, and
the closer we get to, one another and
the more we understand one another
the greater will be our power, of main
tanning the best-many. of them no.

BILLS HATS IN

William T. Noonan, editor Of the Baudette Re-
gion, sailed his hat into the ring and will be
didate for member of the house from Beltram coun-
ty. We congratulate you, "Hon. Bill" You'll
make first rate running mate for A. p Richie.
Noonan for the house and Richie for the senate.
A pair Of "Aces' hard to beat. T..
The interesting feature of this pair should be to
see which will poll the most votes in Beltram
ty. With both ends of the county for each, and
earnestly believe that this should be so for the
best interests of the county, this pair should be
unanimously endorsed .-;... -
Z. Mr.. Noonan spent several sessions with house
members, and now that he is to become one Of
them little doubt remains as to his ability to pro-
duce results for Northern Minnesota. ~: :
Bill knows where the ropes are and he knows
which ones to pull. Richie has been on many .
winning team in farmers tug-of-war, and with
him pulling on the same ropes, victory is certain.
Here's success to the pair Of "Aces." 49, @s'I'a

THE ARMS CONFERENCE

The present work of the disarmament confer
ence is Closed. The delegates will now pack their
grips and 60 back to the four corners of the earth
The conference has not accomplished everything
that disarmament enthusiasts had wished, but what
ever it did, it has, for the first time in the history
of the world, halted the scramble Of the great
powers to excel each other in the building of costly
Eavies.
This one act is of overshadowing Importance and
should not be lost sight of in the discussion of either

A. p. is o. K.


From the manner in which the public has received
the candidacy of A. p Richie for the state senate
it looks as if he could change his initials to- 30. K"
From his farmer friends, Mr.. Richie is receiving
pledges of support which 60 to show that the rural
voters look to him as who serve their needs
and goodness knows they are numerous currants
in Aunt Mary's cookies, and as one who has learn
ed their needs through his own personal acquain-
lance with pillow handles e.
In town, the business men have confidence in him
because his training has been such that they know
Kim to be qualified to handle business proposition
in a business-like manner ..-G
His educational capacity also is known and while
he has served as a pedagog, no one who knows him,
and most everyone does, would ever accuse him Of
being the professor type of public man. In
other words there appears little danger that he will
permit "theory" to interfere with common sense
procedure.
From the northern end Of Be.tram county and
from Kcrchiching county come assurances that sup
port will be given the Bemidji candidate.
Inc .niy lily the ointment may be that some
who prefers to place personal ambition above
loyalty to the community and who may mistake
stubborness for duty. will insist becoming can
didate, thus befoggng the good faith of southern
Beltrami in her honest wish that northern Beltrami
have direct representation in the legislature by be-
ing permitted to 'ect the house member: The Pho
neer makes no accusation against any individual in
this connection. This newspaper hopes this mat
ter will be amicably adjusted to the advantage of
every person and interest concerned. / -
Now is the time to iron out any little differences
of opinion that may have so that campaign of
bitterness and personality may be avoided. g.,
In the meantime, the way in which the Richie
candidacy has Caught on" would indicate that
whatever opposition may develop will be fattened
out. At least this is the reaction which reaches this
office. ~, .':
So that is why we say that A. P. is O. X. 49,.

CALLS FOR OBSERVANCE
OF GRANT CENTENARY
GoD. Miller's Proclamation
ExtoIs Generals Career.

ALBANY. March 17.-In a proclama-
tion isued to-day Gov. Miller urged the
public observance of the centenary of the
birth of Ulysses S. Grant on April 81.
The pro clamation calls attention to
the fact that the last national encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public recommended a "reverent OBJ
servance'' of that day.
II recommend to the people Of this
State" said the Governors proclama-
tion, "that April 81, 1922, be publicly
observed in such manner and spirit
as will proclaim their appreciation of
the life and character of Ulysses S.
Grant and of the meaning of his achieve
ments.
1.-THE character of Ulysses s. Grant
reveals qualities which can be strongly
recommended for imitation. The cour-
age and self-reliance of his boyho cd,
the vigor and persistence which dis
tinguished his course when he was at
the head OF armies. the modesty and
simplicity with which he wore his hon
ors, the heroism with which he met and
conquered adversely and the fortitude
which enabled him to resist mortal
illness while completing great task
are inspiring subjects of thought"

X. 1. HOUSE PASSES
WOMEN'S IS HOUR BILL
Those in Seasonal Occupations
May Work So Hours Weekly.

PROVIDENCE, March 15.-After a BIT
ter struggle In which repeated efforts
were made by opponents of the measure
to have 1t shelved. the House of Repre-
sentatives late to-day passed the Law
ander bill, providing for forty-eight
hour working week for women and chill
dren under 16. The vote was 64 to rs.
The bill, which goes to the State Sem
ate, was amended with the consent OF
Representative James f. Lavander of
Bristol. who introduced II, to permit OF
exceptions I'm case of seasonal oc-
cupations." Women and children en-
gagged in such occupations, which the
State Board OF Labor is to define, may
work a maximum OF flfty-two hours a
week
While the House was debating the
Lavander bill the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee held a public hearing on two
other bills defining hours of labor for
workers. One of these. fathered by
John J. Barry of Centrall Falls, would
order a general forty-eight hour week
for men. women and children. OPP
ponents of the forty-eight hour law at
the hearing expressed the belief that
such law would be unconstitutional.
