School Histories

The Brainerd Dispatch says that
the average American will no doubt
be surprised to learn that in the pub
lie schools of the national capital an
American history is forced upon stu
dents by the educational authorities
in which the National Republican de-
clares "there is partisan propaganda
against the protective policy, Social
ism is favorably presented, class hat
red is inculcated, Congress is attack
ed, the American revolution is min
imized, and an excellent background
for political radicalism is established
in the minds of the young people who
are required to read partisan opinions
as substitute for historical facts"
And in the same public schools in the
city of Washington, collection of
Woodrow Wilson's speeches comprised
two-thirds of a text book introduced
as a text in English, introduced under
the title Of Studies in Democracy"
The National Republican, in re-
cent issue, published over two columns
of extracts from this history "for the
purpose of showing that it is entirely
unsuitable for the schools of any city,
particularly those of the national cap
ital.' The disclosures have created
a profound sensation, and citizens
meetings have been held and resolu-

TAXES AND TAXES

w yHEN men pay their taxes and the taxes
M are high, there is tendency to criticize
w and denounce all taxes. Keeping this up
year after year builds up wrong impressions and
gives a false idea as to taxes in general. In
criticizing taxes, discrimination should be used
Most Of the tax pay is for very desirable pur-
poses and the system under which pay is as
economical, fair and efficient as the state and
the people have been able to work out and per-
feet. We get great deal in return for the taxes
we pay and the complaint against taxes should
not be against taxes in general, but should be
against particular taxes which appear to be for
unnecessary things for purposes which are
extravagant, or for which the community and
ought to wait while. So don't denounce takes"
because that includes too much. The thing to
criticize, if there is anything to criticize is the
tax that the community cannot afford There is
this about the matter, too-in practically every
case this particular improvement is something
you yourself helped to vote or permitted your
neghbors to vote by neglecting to attend and
take part in the public meetings where the mat
ter was discussed and voted-Long Prairie Lead

Harold Baker, county attorney of Renville
County, has filed as candidate for District
Judge. He had been endorsed by several Non
partisan League organizations in the district for
this office but it was expected that he would look
upon these endorsements little political taffy
and refuse to enter the contest. In filing for the
judgeship he has given the public a demonstration
of how ttleness can blossom forth from the hot
bed of gall. AS County Attorney, he received
some criticism from the press for the manner in
which he conducted that office, but the feeling
among the newspaper has been that the
mantle of charity should be spread over his short
comings Now that he asks to be elected judge
of the 18th Judicial District, he must step out in
to the spot light and take his medicine, and the
organizations that endorsed him should be made
to answer for their action in the premises. His
lack of qualification for the office to which he
aspires is now fit subject for discussion and in
the consideration of his case, his supernal gall
should be marked Exhibit Aim Landy.

tons adopted demanding the book be
withdrawn as text book in the pub
lie schools.
Following the recent revelation that
in New York City number of text
books in history were being used in
which an efforts is made to jslur over
facts that would contribute to the
growth of national loyalty among stu
dents, this situation indicates the
necessity of survey by school
patrons everywhere of the text books,
especially in civics and history, pre-
scribed for their children, with a view
to knowing whether the schools are
being used as vehicles of propaganda
against the fundamentals of Ameri-
canism-Winnebgo Enterprise.

STATE WARDS WELL CARED FOR

TN all of Minnesota's public institutions, none
is supplying a greater need than the State
Hospital for Crippled Children, located at
Phalen Park. At present, about 200 crippled chill
dren are being provided with medical treatment
and cared for, and nearly as many more are on
the waiting list. The institution is badly in need
of additional room and here is where the state
could make judicous expenditure Of money and
one that would supply great need
Recently the writer spent few days at Phal-
en- Park and had occasion to visit the hospital
and to note the work that is being done there.
One is impressed with the high mark of effc-
iency and the excellent system there under the
supervision of Miss Elizabeth McGregor. On the
staff of medical men some of the most
prominent and skilful doctors in the state, who
give their services absolutely free and who are
doing a wonderful work. In addition to the care
and medical treatment given the children, sys-
tematic instruction is given in kindergarten and
industrial training and every want Of the child
is being cared for.
If the Michael J. Bowling memorial should
take the form Of school or dormitory and be
erected here it would serve purpose, the value
of which cannot be overestimated, and would
provide for the needy in just such way as Mr..
Bowling would desire. If the public could be
made to realize just what this institution means
such as is proposed for Bowling memorial, the
subscriptions to the fund would soon reach the
required sum.-Oliva Times.

WHY BUY POPPIES?

VVIHY should you buy poppy?
M To the one who has not enough senti-
ment about him to want to buy poppy,
without being urged it will be difficult to explain
why he should.
Such person really should not.
He whose sense of gratitude is so small and
whose soul is so little that he begrudges the ten
cents that a poppy costs is not worthy Of wearing
one
What does the poppy stand for?
1t stands for the sacrifice that made for
humanity upon the battlefelds of France.
1t stands for the blood that was there shed
in the cause of freedom.
It stands for the tears of millions of moth
1t stands for the homeless and helpless chill
dren, yes for millions on millions of such, whose
fathers gave the "last full measure of their de-
votion', that you and might enjoy the blessings
of liberty and continue unmolested our pursuit of
happiness.
It stands for the days and weeks and years
of anguish in the trenches.
1t stands for that crimson stream that ever
has run adown the ages to wash away the iniquity
of the world
1t stands for that river of blood that ever
has flowed from off the field where the rights of
man have done battle with the forces of oppres-
sion
To us in America, the poppy stands for the
lfe-blood of our sons and the bleeding hearts Of
our war-mothers.
That is about all the poppy stands for
If, to you, these things have not been worth
while, then save your miserable little dime

There is much anxiety expressed in Mime
apolis over the shortage of washerwomen. One
woman who had been running want add in sew
eral daily papers said: "That's just what l
thought prohibition would do-cheat US out of
our wash women!' Too bad isn't it! First thing
we know it's going to cause the country and State
to offer their empty jails and insane asyums

In letter in the Chicago Tribune F. W. Fitz-
'atick, formerly of Duluth, makes suggestion:
Arrest and imprison for major offens-
es, but for minor ones just take fell
lows car from him, seal it up in garage
for week or two weeks, as the offense
warrants, and make him pay the rent and
costs.
Second offense, lock it up for month;
third take his license from him, bar him
from the roads. Instead of needing two
speeders' courts, you'll get along with
half of one. Now laugh!
We don't see anything funny about it at all
sounds like real horse sense to us.

The farm woman is often referred to as down

The farm woman is often referred to as down
trodden and her situation as unhappy. But spe-
ciasts declare they are contented and salts
fed as any other class of women. Farm women
love the country and do not want to give it up
for city life, provided they can have chance to
get fair share of enjoyment from life today and
can see brighter future there for their children.
The modern farm home is the last requisite to
happiness, comfort, and contentment on the farm.
Once it is the instead of the exceptional
thing there will be less talk about going back to
the farm. The intelligent, efficient farmers will
stay there.-Mrs. L. E. Potter of Springfield,

Perhaps the politicians should quit estimat-
ing the size of the farmers vote on the weather
basis. It used to be time consuming job for
farmer to hitch up team and drive several miles
to the polls, but things are now all he has to
do is to step on the self-starter, and he can get
to the polls and back to work within his noon
hour, and still have time to smoke pipe before
starting the pillow again.-Blue Earth Post.

Railway and Warehouse Commissioner
in Washington, says Representative
Frank Clague is the man who is accom-
plishing things in congress. Mr. Jacob
sons long suit is fighting the battle of
Minnesota farmers and he declares he
gets more assistance from Mr.. Clague
than from all the other congressman
combined Best Of all, Mr. Clague stub
bornly declines to take orders from any
boss or bosses. He will not surrender
his prerogatives as a representative OF
the people even to save the party ma
chine.
If Mr. Clague steadfastly adheres to
this policy he can go back to congress
from this district unopposed until every
hair on his pate is white.-Fairmont

Some day Frank Clague will sit in the
United States senate. He would prove
to be an important factor in the legis-

upper house of congress should be made
up of a less number of millionaires and
more men who are Of the common people.

Careless writing of copy for newspap-

blow by Mr. Macintosh, who said that
this is what makes more than one mer-

The fault lies with the merchant himself.
AS usual thing, he puts off writing the
copy for his advertising until the last
few moments of the eleventh hour, and
then rushed to the back of the store,
tears off piece of wrapping paper and
scribbles down what he thinks in his
haste is what he wants to ADVERTISE

The Breeders Gazette, which few

at a loss just to show farmers that it
could be done, has gone into bankruptcy.

might as we'll go out of business because
in the end you will be put out whether
YOU want to or not.-Jeffers Review.
And some of the catalogues, folders etc
gotten out by this concern looked like bankrupt
stock right from the beginning. Some of the
stuff was of such poor quality no self-respecting
printer would have permitted it to leave his
shop, and yet farmers and stockmen expected
these same printers to do work at the impossible
prices quoted by this concern and others of its
ilk We for one are shedding no tears over the
death of the Breeders Gazette.

have been coming to the Mill since
the winter Of 1885, when / made
your flour with the old mill stones,
from the first crop of wheat raised
in Bottineau County. Some Of this
wheat took the first prize at the New
Orleans Exposition and was grown on
the land now occupied by the School
of Forestry Buildings. "a.
The new owners of the mill are
capable, energetic young men and /
predict will be able to serve you we'll
in the future, thereby helping Botti-
neau to maintain the position it has
always held among other towns in the
northern part of the state. Bottineau
had the first Flour Mill, the first
newspaper, (The Courant, first called
The Pioneer), the first telephone, the
first electric lights, the first high
school and the first steam laundry.
These things coupled with the present
population Of young, energetic busi-
ness men should, as always, keep
Bottineau at the top Of the list of
cities much larger than ours.
