THE WEEKL ONEER—Twelve pages, published g:ry" Tnirldn Yn.n.‘::aont po-lng‘o' p“fl toiany address, n, 10 jvanoe, Recently, a: . North Dakota nmpipor offered prizes for the best essays on the evils of socialism. The prizes were offered privately, no publiec or school funds were used nor were the essays-written in- connection :with -any -school program, but for . some reason the Fargo Courier-News went into hysterics over it and its howl was heard over the country: - “Many. parents in Fargo :have .protested against -this flagrant disregard of the spirit of the American public school system by the leaders of the opposition to the farmers movement, in carry- ing on political propaganda in their .schools,” it shouts. . Well, Well! This from a Townley paper. Where under the blue sky has Townley been trying to spread his free love, socialistic propaganda, if not through the educational system of North Dakota? Furthermore it says: “The sizei of the prizes is said to have tempted a large per cent of the pppils in local schools to study up on socialism in. the hope of winning the money.” We' can o} 4zasheuld bave any objection to-the children studying up on socialism. If there is nothing wrong about the doctrine: why jworry about:letting them read up all they can on it. But there is just ‘where the s:shoe -pinches. If their:iyoung; fertile, receptive .minds could be taught socialism as Mr. Townley, Dr. Stangeland, Miss Peterson, Kate O’Hare, et al., wish to have it tapght them it 'would be:aicommend- “‘able-undertaking. - ... When aneh rotten, immoral:propaganda as is put (oforth: in-Ellen Key's : “Love i and {Ethics” iy dis- . is ‘time ‘to ‘have them “study up’ ‘on the evils of . socialism. 3 . How:.does this; kind of doctrine-sound? *Of all . the social -concessions to be demanded, the most essential is ‘that standard ‘by’ which-theimorality of parenthood is measured should be, not.the marriage rite but the will of: two-human beings to;assume . ov the-zesponaibility for their-children;/ not-the, legit- -.-imacy of the children; but the kind: ofchildren: they r;ave; Ttsis(wolely from>this. one:moral point-of view : ~that motherhood without:marriage .as well .as the i xight ‘of free divoree must:be judged::>Irresponsi- ble motherhood is always sin with or without. mar- riage, responsible motherhood is always sacved. with. 1 or ‘without -merriage.” i ' .»How iconsistent the Townley. paper is. _Political _propaganda was unknown'iin Narth, Dakota-schools .. until Townley with his henchmen invaded-this new fleld. The whole force and effort of the Non- partisan party has been-used to turn.the educational . system of North Dakota topsy-turvy, the will 'of the people was: entirely disregarded in the selection of ' . .an educatipnal lesder and a.political.itool substi- tuted.
