Urges Academic Freedom.
The Governor prefaced his speech in
the Chautauqua Amphitheater-where
three other presidential aspirants have
appeared this month-with the state
ments:
I'm Kansas we believe that our
schools-public. parochial and private
must be kept free of all control by
the Federal Government.
I'm Kansas we insist that no teach
er should be required to take any oath
not required Of all other citizens. In
Kansas we believe in academic free
dom and we practice It,"
Declaring that "our system of free
what Is spoken or written, and,
education has failed II class distinc-
tions are allowed to develop In this
country" he said:
I'm these days of widespread propa-
ganda 1t Is imperative that our teach
ers be kept free and that our educa-
tional institutions, our newspapers and
the radio be kept independent either
from control of autocratic government
or from the influence Of any selfish
interest.
There must not be censorship Of
equally important, there must be no
control Of the source of news.
Another danger from propaganda
Is now present. It Is more serious
than. the danger Of our teachers be-
coming propagandists.
1T concerns widespread use of the
machinery Of the Federal Government
to maintain the present administra-
ton in power. and to bring into ques-
ton the faith of the people in their
way Of life and in their form of Gov
eminent.
when money Is forcibly taken by
Government from citizens and used to
tear down those things most precious
to our people. We see propaganda in
its most shabby form"
The Kansan was greeted twice with
the famous Chautauqua salute-wav-
ing Observation-Disclosures when he mo-
tored into the grounds, and second
when he was introduced to the crowd
that overflowed the 7,000-seat capacity
outdoor meeting place.
Given Two Minute Ovation.
A two-minute ovation greeted him
at the beginning Of this speech and a
minute at the close before the orches-
ira broke into America"
In the audience was Bainbridge
Colby, Democratic Secretary OF State
in President Wilson's cabinet, who, in
q statement to the jamestown Post,
said he would support the Republican
standard bearer.
Praising the Nations educational
system, Landon said:
To-day, perhaps to q greater degree
than ever before, the control of our
educational institutions must be kept
in the hands of the local communities
and the educators themselves. For
we may as well face the fact that the
tide Is running against free govern
naent today.
In many lands the hand of gov
ernment is closing down upon educa-
ton. It is being made into q tool,
for autocratic purposes.
I'VE Americans are still in control
Of our own destiny" he said in con-
clusion. I'VE can remain so only
through the processes Of sound edu-
cation"

Now the real question is, ''Do we need
court house?" IF so, is it better to build
now than later? If it is better to build now,
if we can get more court house for less
money, and the work help few people
make living, then we should vote eyes"
for the bond issue.
And forget the grudges, and remember
the facts, in making this public decision,
which affects all, as a conscientious citizen
should.
If this be done, there is only one con-
clusion that you can arrive at-that is, to
vote YES" on the court house bond pro-
posal.

DON'T SPITE YOUR FACE

Some farmers and workers, some of the
residents of the smaller towns, for one rea-
son or another, real or imaginary enter
tain grudges against Plentywood.
And because of these old grudges, iusti-
fy themselves in opposing the court house
bond proposal. They can advance no logic
against the proposal, except the subjective
idea, that they want to oppose the court
house because it would beautify and build
up Plentywood.
Now this is a splendid example of cut
ting off ones nose to spite his face-the
usual grudge policy. 1t gets no where
True PlentywOOd is growing at the ex-
penSe OF the small towns scattered over
the country. This is not the result of any,
thing that Plentywood has done or failed
to do. What is happening here in Sheri-
dan county in regard to Plentywood is hap
penlng in every county or area in regard
to some town in that area.
For instance, Crosby is growing at the
expense of all villages in Divide county, N.
D., on the east; also, WilliStOn, at the ex-
pense OF all the villages in Williams coun-
ty, same state. The same is true in re-
gard to Wolf Point in Roosevelt, and Glas-
gov in valley It's the same everywhere.
The community village is passing. Some
favored town, such as a county seat. or
railroad junction, is growing rapidly, is be-
coming the trade center of the area, while
the villages are becoming depopulated.
The cause Of this is the automobile and
the automobile road, which has shortened
distances, and made it just as easy to go
to the bigger town as to the village. The
bigger town has the theatre, the garages,
the hotels, the bigger stores and stocks,
and the better schools which attracts the
people to 1t, all to the disadvantage of the
villages.
This tendency becomes more pronounced
everywhere as time passes. The condition
is just not here only-its everywhere.
Some farmers feel that brentwood has
too much to say already, and that the bust
nessmen are not sympathetic to the needs
OF the farmerS-SO here is chance to even
scores, by voting against the court house
bond issue.
While the farmers may have something
to complain of in this regard, the situation
here is no different than in other places.
1t may be regrettable, but anyway it is out
side of the ISSUE
1t really has no bearing on the subject
at all, and to vote against the proposed
court house bond issue, is again cutting off
your nose to spite your face
The court house must be built some
where. Naturally it must be built in the
county seat. People must come to the
county seat to transact county business.
This brings people here. It means better
stores and stocks of goods, it means the
point where the professional men reside, so
it becomes the business center of the coun-
ty and will remain so.
When the farmer comes to the city he
want accommodations. When he sends his
children to school he wants good schools
and good town to live in. All those thing
contribute to his comfort A good town
makes the countryside more desirable. A
inc court house will make Plentywood a
,etter town,

LABOR LEGISLATION"

The following editorial eaken from tn
Northwest Organizer, published by the or
ganized workers of Minneapolis, under tn
caption of Labor Legislation" deal
cOgently with the futility of legislation a.
an instrument in the interest of the labor
ing masses:
The sO-called liberal labor legislation,
which has been enacted into law by the
Roosevelt administration, and which has
promptly been declared unconstitutional
by the United States Supreme Court,
should teach a valuable lesson to Amer
lean workers. The lesson that must be
learned by the American working class
is that no administration and no govern
ment can bring about, by legislative act,
any social reforms that are not accept
able to the ruling class. The multiplying
OF the New Deal Social Reform Program
by the Supreme Court is good indica-
ton of how much working class REFORM
ism can be accomplished through the
medium of legislation.
''The NRA the Guffey Act and scores
of other attempts to IegisIate wages and
working conditions succumb quickly to
the United States Supreme Court, dom,
mated by, and the expression of the ex-
listing social order. The NRA, weak and
lmpOtent as it was, is dead at the hands
OF the court. The Guffey Act, which was
hailed as the magma charta of the Amer
lean miners, experienced the same fate.
The Wagner-C Onnery Bill, purpOrting to
give labor some new rights, has already
been challenged in the lower courts and
no doubt will go the same route as other
New Deal labor measures.
"'NO, the American workers are find
ing that leaning upon a SO-calIed friendly
administration only results in the waste
OF valuable time and further results in
acting as brake on the building of mill
tant powerful unions. No worker should
lose sight of one incOntestabIe and non
disputable fact. That is that nowhere.
no time and no place have economic re-
forms been accomplished in anv other
manner than by determined efforts Of
workers organizations Legislative stamn
OF approval has only been given these re-
forms after they had become an accom-
plished fact"
The same conclusions are inst as trno
1sofar as the interest of the farmers ORC

Experience has proven that only mill

essions from the ruling class. and do 90

SALVATION ARMy'S
DRIVE IS STARTED
McDuffie Heads Campaign
To Get $500 for Aid
of Local Corps

Workers took the field today in the
Salvation Army's annual Home Ser
vice Appeal campaign under the di-
rection of J. r. McDuffie, as general
chairman. Pairs had arranged for the
soliciting and the goal of the drive
was $1,000, which will be for the sup
port of the local corps of the Army
during the coming year.
Mr.. McDuffie was hopeful that the
entire soliciting job would be taken
care of during the week, and he had
urged all of the workers to make their
calls as quickly as possible. He ex-
pected to have reports daily as to
the progress of the drive, and called
on citizens to be as generous as pos
sible with their donations, to the end
that the campaign could be concluded
successfully.
The work of the army and the cam
paign now in progress was endorsed
from Henderson pulpits last Sunday
by ministers, who were liberal in
their praise of the work.
