“OF REGENTS MEET Selection of President for Univer- “sity Still of Future—Dr. Ladd's Jobs .., The ‘usual calm prevailed in the of- fices of the state boar dof 3 Tuesday. Sec has returned from the beard mec! soting: at Grand Forks and Fargo, where | there developed tone more exciting than the s ig of Rev. C. Bb. ya, to cusseed Col. F oe Whit Vermilya seemed to fit in very nicely, is much interested in the work, and Hrepared to co-operate with other members of the board in promoting | the best intere: of the educational institutions. No president was select- ed for the university, to succeed Dr. F. L. Mc,ey, and no candidates was seriously considered. No new’ devel- opments in the Ladd controversy were encountered. This farm woman entertains herself with a magazine while one of the most laborions of all farm tasks is performed for her. gas cnyine does most of the work on the model farm. The “We have a communication from a man in Barnes county,” said Secre- | tary Brewer today, ‘asking why the’ state board of regents wants to re' move Dr. Ladd from the pure food work. There never has been the slightest intention on the part of any member of the state board to relieve Dr. Ladd of his pure food duties. On the contrary, the board has, in addi- tion to his pure food duties, placed Dr. Ladd at the head of ali the regulatory work, including pure rugs, pure seed, pure beverages and many other things of that class. Dr. Ladd made his repu- tation by his enforcement of the pure food regulations, and the board of re- gents feels he should be entitled, to all ‘the credit possible and remain in charge of that as long as,he desires. | “The only question that has ever arisen in regard to Dr. Ladd’s work was when the board asked him if he aif not have too much to do and if ne did not think a division of his work imperative. Since then four more state jobs have beam added ly legis- lature to his already numerous duties, aml. now come to federal jobs—a plgce on the wheat price-fixing com- mittee and the more recent and much more arduous assigument as food dic- tater of the s: ea would consider the pure food commissioner a one man’s job. Certainly, the presi- dency of a large institution like the North Dakota cgricultural college woull occupy the greager part of the average man’s time. The state food dictatorship, everyone wiii admit, is a task sufficiently huge io require the entire time of mos: men. “No attempt or sugestion, however, has ever becn made to separate Dr. Ladd from his pure food work.” SUFFRAGE PICKETS “PUT UNDER ARREST Washington, Sept. 5.—Militants of the national woman's party made to- day processions in honor of men araft- éd for the national. army the occasion for morc picketing at the white house.

BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL. “Where is the Napoleon of Russia? Who is he? Do you think he is Ker- ensky?” f have these questions every day from scores of Americans. Apparently the persons that put them are con- vinced that Russia, having thrown off one king nec rily and. of course proceed to, choose ancther No going without 0 hing AMl‘Englana naturaliy, enough, be- lieves this, but what puzzles’ me is that any Amer p shaiitd clig toa notion that belong to the world’s an- enqne Americans might reflect that it was not the man, Nicholas Romanoff, the Russian people repudiated but the king idea. Having waited. so long and endured so much .to get rid of ‘it under one name, does it seem. likely they would rush joyously to get it back under another? “Where is. the Napoleon of Rus- sia?” Well, dear old sleep walk- er, there ain’t no sich animal.’ There is. none now and: there will be ndéne so long as the Russian people have anything to say about their af- fairs—which will be until the Huns’ flag flies above Petrograd and Moscow, anyway. The Germans believe in that sort of thing, but the Russians do not. That makes a difference. ‘Let me tell you now an odd little fact that should throw no end of light on the actual situation between the United States and: Russia. “What Russia needs,” sings a large chorus of American cave dwellers, “is a dictator.” So, Russia not being sufficiently wise to pick one out, these gentlemen proceed to create one for her. It is literally true—that is what they have already done. When Kerensky succeeded to the place of prime minister the American press was deluged with the assertion that he had been made Dictator of Russia. It was said so confidently and positively that the entire nation became convinced of it. “Dictator Catarrh of Throat fs — Miss Amalie Ruzicka, 1449 South 16th St., Omaha, Nebraska, writes: “{ have suffered with catarrh of the throat. I caught cold and it settled in my throat, and I coughed badly | Ni {nd was very weak. I could not sleep nd had no appetite. I had two doc- tors, and had taken so many different Medicines and found no help. I thought I will have to give up; but at last my mother read about Peruna, so I thought of trying that great medicine -Peruna. I got a bottle of it and in about four days | almost stopped coughing, and after a while I surely found relief, and from that time we @ro not without Peruna in our home.” Could Not Sleep No Appetite Now Well. We Alwa: Have PERUNA i in the Home. Those who object to liquid medi- cines can procure Peruna Tablets. Economy and thrift suggest the use of SuunovA for your shoes. It gives the quick dressy shine. SHINOLA HomME SET “ For Your Convenience ~ “The man that rules Russia,” is | another favorite reference. “It was an impressive spectacle,” ; observed many journals, meaning the mecting between Kerensky and the late czar, “the man that used to rule Russia face to face with the man that rules Russia now.” This is all,the most absolute rot and rubbish that ever was devis- ed. There is literally not one word of truth in it. Kerensky is no more the dictator of Russia than you are. He was never made dictator nor anything like dic- tator. He comes no nearer being a dictator than his predecessor came. When he was named to succeed Lvoff there was no more thought of making him dictator than there was of mak- ing Bill Dewey dictator. ‘Beyond all this, Kerensky himself, who is a most unselfish, sincere ‘and high minded patriot, would be shocked and grieved to learn that America be- lieved him to be capable of betraying the atone No one that knows him or knows the Russians as they really are would ever go so far astray. Kerensky, like the rest of the minis- try, holds office to carry out the will of the Russian people. And if you think that the Russian people will ever tolerate a dictator, let me propose something for your enlightenment. On a Sunday afternoon go out to the meetings that cover the great Field of Mars in Petrograd and suggest such a thing. You will not have to prepare any argu- ment about it. Just suggest it. Only—a word in your ear. Take along plenty df good ‘strong hus- kies for a bodyguard. You'll need them. ‘The idea that Russia needs and will have a dictator is born of a funda- mental disbelief in democracy and the fixed delusion many persons have that the people of Russia, being very ignorant and totally without experi- ence, cannot possibly manage their own affairs. But that is just the point THE PEOPLE OF RUSSIA ARE NOT VERY IGNORANT AND ARE yr INEXPERIENCED. They are people of extraordinary. capacity and instead of being inex- perienced tReir peculiar form«of local government has trained and developed among them an unguestionable talent for the self-government job. They have factions among them, of course, and some of.the factions stand out for wild, visionary and impossible things. They- are also plagued, cursed’ and bedeviled with a German propaganda almost as industrious and insidions as the movement that is trying to in- duce the United States to tura diriy yellow. But the masses of the people have a great fund of plain,{hard common sense. i Also, .. while. they ‘may haya little book. learning, they ‘understand the principles-of democracy just,as well as we do, ‘and are atIeast'as determined to have them and nothing else, . Kerensky is one of' the’ foremost men of his age, as lofty in character as hé is unusual in abifitg’ In a‘ na- tion of orators he is ore of the great- est. He has the orators*gifts, magne- tism, ‘presence, a spléndid. voice, a maryclous command o¥er speech. In our own country probably nobody this side of Wendell. Pnilliga has equally swayed men. He gives you at onceithe impression of sincerity, of a man ‘that ig on the level. As a prime minister, hé undoubtedly understands the situation as weil as anybody in Russia; he knows that there can be no peace in the*world until German militarism is put out of it. ¥ The last time I saw him he was car- rying his right hand in a sling becatse he had strained it shaking hands with thé -people. Bue 1 think that with his left he would have assaulted ‘anybody that called him a Dictator, the betrayer of the young republic. THE ONLY DICTATOR IN RUS- SIA IS THE MAJORITY OF . THE PEOPLE.

Gretifying Prestige Given State - in Recent, Rural Conference At St. Paul In discussing consolidation at the national rural conference held. ia St. Paul for the eleven north central states last week, it developed that North Dakota heads the list, remark- ed N.
