fact the en-. has no political stand
ing in which to wage war on any
body so it resorts to dirty work.
There can be no possible objection to
any defendant in these bank cases
Directing to have their trial advanced
a month. If their skirts are clean
and they have done no wrong the
sooner the cases are tried and the
world in general hears of their inno-
cence the better for all concerned. If
they are guilty and fear the results
then we can hardly blame them using
the morning distress to try and throw
odium upon those officials who have
taken an oath to do the duties re-
quired by law after being elected to
the office they hold by the people OF
the state.
Better educational opportunities
are in store for young people OF North
dakota with the development of plans
for the work of teaching vocational
agriculture, trades and industries, and
home economies, said E. II. Jones,
professor of agricultural education at
the North Dakota Agricultural Col
ilege, in discussing progress of the
Smith Hughes high school instruction
in the state. "A new course is in
process of development which meets
all the needs of the North Dakota
high school student and at the same
time meets the requirements Of the
federal regulations. There are few
minor changes to be made in the
course of study which will be amour
''ced before the middle of August. The
teachers training course at this COL
lege, which was installed last year for
the first time, is now satisfactorily
:organized", said Mr.. Jones. Congress
in February, 1917, passed law to
promote the teaching Of agriculture,
trades and home economics in secon-
Diary schools. 1t is known as the
Smith Hughes law for vocational ed
,ucation and. the federal government
furnishes money to pay one-half of
the salary of teachers. The govern
ment requires that the school and the
teachers receiving this aid measure up
to certain standard requirements.
Charging that j F.. T. O'Connor
has violated the state primary law
and the corrupt practice act, F. o.
Hellstrum one of the only five decent
democrats of the state, on Saturday
started an action contesting Mr..
O'Connor's nomination as the demo-
cratic candidate for United States
senator in the June primary. Mr..
Hellstrom in his latest brainstorm al
|leges that O'Connor has entered into
an illegal conspiracy with the indie
pendent Voters Association to defeat
the operation of the state primary
law. Seeing that the Independent
Voters Association had nothing to do
with Mr.. O'Connor's nomination on
the democratic ticket he should not
!, get very far with his complaint. A
majority of the democrats of the
state nominated MIR. O'Connor on
June % in the regular way, so where
has he violated the corrupt practice
. act. On the other hand if a certain
faction of he republican party feel
like voting for the gentleman in the
fall where does any violation of the
law come in? People have to vote ac-
cording to their political belief and
registration at the primary election
but in the fall election they can vote
as they please much as it may dis
!. please Mr.. Hellstrom and the other
four decent democrats of the state. In
stead of the supreme court passing
upon this latest brainstorm of He'll
strom's they should turn that gentle
man over to an insanity board be-
cause his defeat at jamestown and at
the polls in June has gone to his head.
