(Established 1878) <> CONSERVING CHILDREN The world was shocked, some years ago, at the number of suicides of school children in Ger- many. One spring, 150 young boys and girls killed themselves because they had failed, or were afraid they would fail in their examinations. What agony of worry other thousands of children suf- fered only German efficiency could determine— if German efficiency ever concerned itself with suffering. ‘Doubtless many of these unhappy children were unable to make their grades because they were subnormal in some way, perhaps only in sight or hearing. There unforgettable suicides are an extreme example of the results of one way of bringing up children. \ : The last word in the opposite system of child culture comes this. Mayday from Ohio. Under that.state’s new juvenile research. law, all delin- quent and defective children are to be committed to the board. of administration of ‘the bureau for examination‘and classification. Children found to bé.‘normal—and’ delinquent—will be taken from their parents and guardians, if necessary, and given a child’s right to decent: and kindly ‘care. Defectives. will remain the wards of the ‘state. * Thus Ohio comes to the front in the most pro- gressive contribution to’ child welfare yet made inthis country. 23.0) 6! oo 66 os - What-the. state is doing ought to be known to‘all parents everywhere. Subnormal children are not.so rare as some folks fancy. “Bad” chil- dren are’ often ‘subnormal and are disciplined to, their detriment by parents who mean to do their best, but who are not posted in the best ways of child training. , : : - The German way of using a lash, a blow or a harsh word is quick—but it doesn’t always work. It may not drive a child to suicide, but it often makes him lie, and just there, crime begins. Any ‘investigation of the causes of a child’s conduct must take time, but the great. state of Ohio itself sets parents the example of the value of this method. Before it decides’ what to do with a child, it will take plenty of time to determine what is the matter with him. Ohio’s new juvenile research bureau seems to be organized on. the principle of the famous edu- cator who said that parents need only three rules to make good children—“patiénce, and more pa- tience, and more patience. ACROSS THE BORDER Were we not so thoroughly interested in Wm. Hohenzollern, we would, just now, be' greatly ex- cited over V. Carranza. There is no question but Mexico is filled with German propagandists who are well supplied with money, and the reports that Mexican troops are being mobilized at several points along the border seem to be well authenticated. If you can’t lick a fellow, in fair fight, right out in the road in front of the house, send your crooks around to set fire to his barn. Such is only ordinary kaiser policy. © Carranza and his relatives, say people who lived next door to Mexico, are silent partners in companies which control the trade in almost every- thing of importance produced in the country, and no one can do business without paying tribute to these concerns. Such was the old time, long con- tinued Diaz “form” of government, and Carranza was bound to come to it, sooner or later; first, because Carranza and relatives, like all Mexicans, have itching palms; secondly, because a govern- ment has to have money to make its wheels go "round. : Take the state of Sonora, where the Madera movement was hottest, for instance. It was the native state of Carrol, vice president under Diaz. Mr. Carrol’s oranges must be picked and market- ed,. before anybody else’s were touched. There was a splendid brewery, with exclusive concession for making of beer in the state, in which Mr. Carrol and relatives were “in on the ground floor.” Beer requiring ice, there was an up-to-date arti- ficial ice plant, with Carrol and relatives again “in on the ground floor,” and everybody unable to get ice elsewhere. Same as to soap, clothes and most other luxuries tending to uplift the Mexi- long was argument that the Mexicans are not capa- ble of self-government, or democracy, that some students of government are already’ charging against the Russians, by the way. Certain it is that, if Carranza has got to the me-and-my-relatives basis of government, Mexico is going to become a less and less comfortable neighbor. Stir into that basis a pinch of Teu- tonic deviltry, and you have something cooking that Uncle Sam would be wise in carefully watch- ing. ASK WHAT HE LIKES; GIVE HIM BEANS Upon a time, there lived near us a frail, 300 pound unnaturalized German and his browbeaten family. One of the boys had a chronic stomach ail- ment. Wherever possible, the mother considered this when planning the menu. It chanced that the tyrannical head of the house one day heard her consult the youth’s pref- erences. “Ask him what he likes and give him beans,” he sneered, shoving the frau ungently to- war dthe ‘kitchen. Now that the kaiser again wants to run his war by peace-work methods, let’s ask him what terms he likes and give him beans—leaden ones! Let’s make a lot of separate pieces with his army. A scrap to the finish now is better than a scrap of paper. From throne to overthrown isn’t such a long way off for Willyum. NOW IT’S STEEL il: “From now on,” says a Washington announce- ment, “not one ounce of steel will go for any but war purposes.” This is an unavoidable war policy that will cer- tainly hit “business as usual,” especially the very important automobile business, and, besides, be felt in every household. It is a good time to look your possessions over and observe to what extent steel enters into them. There are the auto, the stove, the sewing machine, the tubs, pots and tools—a tremendous lot of things that become more precious under the national necessity to con- serve steel. The nations fight the most stubbornly over ter- ritory that produces steel, for steel is the sinews of warfare and the world has never seen a time when so much steel was shot away. Clearly, a period has been reached when it is up to the individual to save steel, as he has wheat, meat and fuel. The plans for conservation of steel are really very similar-to those for conser- sigs nof- food—use sparingly, and waste none Several of Austria’s ministers have quit as a protest.. One of the best things to do after being fired is to quit. ( What's become of. the old fashioned railroad lawyer: when used to hand out passes to judges and legislators? i Just see what George Creel gets for quitting journalism to become a statesman. He’s going to get investigated. ; ee Running the government, is like running a newspaper. Every man thinks he could do better than the man on the job. ; If Senator Sherman of Illinois could only suc- ceed in looking like Lincoln he wouldn’t have to suffer looking so much like himself. Somebody has offered a stake in Liberty bonds for Jess Willard to fight for. We can imagine Jess biting the bonds. You remember the old fashioned man who used to bite a silver coin to see if it was good, don’t you? \ | WITH THE EDITORS | CeCe SSPE TSS Tee OOOO eed HOME GUARD OR NOT? An idea has gained hold that in some way the home guard may be involved with the extraneous political influence which seems to have a hold, to be blunt, on-our governor. The support appar- ently given Walter Mills, the gentlemanly social- ist agitator, and others of his kind in the employ of Townley & Co., does much to rouse uneasiness. We believe, however, the fear for consequences to the home guard after it is signed up and comes under state militia regime is not soundly based. No military organization may exist. and drill as such, and have lawful powers of action to perform the duties and purposes declared in the state con- stitution and code unless it be amenable to the highest authority of the state, and that is the governor. But he is also held within certain re- strictions, and does not personally command or handle the militia. Siete It is practically certain that local units will either become part of the state militia or they will cease to be home guards. It is up to the members to decide whether they remain as militiamen or retire. We should have a militia, and we do not think there is danger of its being incorporated with or called to the colors or aid of the I. W. W. and their allies, Townley & Co. It is a good chance that these malefactors will be in Leavenworth ere long. It not, we trust they may otherwise be abated and The Ozone sug- gests that our state administration cut.out affilia- tion with and comfort to these Pullman car hobo vagarists and trouble breeders until after this war is over. ; And that certain of our state officials do like- wise. Meantime we feel the Steele boys may safely can.- And -that-the-eommon: folks-stood-for it “s0| sign-up; and believe they-ought-to.—Steele Ozone. —————— THE MASTER BURGLAR | (| ! " ’ ‘THE TOWNLEY SYSTEM LOCALIZED I (The Regent Times) ‘Mr. Townley and his admirers... that is very many of them, think. . that the farmer needs defense when the truth is told about Mr. Townley. The farmers df the Northwest do not have colic when Townley eats green apples and he. is not their esyecial guardian. Here is a story that illustrates the thought: i On the morning after the night before a tousled ‘individual is brought from his, cell to stand before: the police: magistrate. “Officer,” says the’ judge, “what is the eharge against this man?” “Drunk and: disorderly,” .res- ponds: the -officer,},:, ee “What have you’to say,” asks the judge, addressing the pris- . oner. “The charges is-an outrage,” in- dignantly replies the prisoner. “It is gross libel on the people of the city. I would have.you under- stand that the people of this city are a sober people. _They. are moral, church going, lawabiding people. They wore not drunk last night. They do not get drunk.

Piloted by army aviators, airplanes carried consignments of mail from New York and Philadelphia to Wash- ington and from Philadelphia to New York. A plane which started from the National capital for Philadelphia in the presence of President: Wilson and other high government officials was forced to land at Waldorf, Md., thirty miles away, because of a brok- en propeller. With the exception of Sunday, daily trips from each end of the New York. Washington air route are planned by the postofice department. Eeach ma- chine will fly only half the lap of the journey, the mail being transferred to other planes at Philadelphia. Three hours and twenty minutes after a machine piloted by Lieutenant Torrey H, Webb left the Belmont fly- ing field near New York, the mail it carried was landed in Washington, and within 33 minutes boy scouts had com- pleted delivery of the 735 parcels con- signed to Washington, including 19 pieces for the White House, one for ice President Marshall, and a number to Postmaster General Burleson. Lieutenant Webb's machine reached Philadelphia at one o'clock and its mail was transferred to a plane driven by .Lieutenant James C. Edgerton in six minutes. That plane appeared ov- er the Capital at 2:45 o'clock and land- ed a few minutes later. One of the letters was from Governor Whitman of New York, addressed to President Wilson and pledging New York to do its part in the American Red Cross drive for-a $10,000,000 was fund which begins next Monday. Airplane ntail is accepted at New York and Philadelphia for points west and south, being transferred to trains here and at Philadelphia, while at Washington mail is acepted for points in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and New England. $3,000,000 R SERBIA Another Loan Extended the Smallest Of Our Allies. Washington, May 15.—Serbia redeiv- ed another credit of three million dol- lars from the Treasury Department to- day, making her total indebtedness to the United States nine million dollars and her total to all allies $5,776,850,- 000. ' {licity. 1917 MOTOR VEHICLE TAG _MARK PASSED When the registration departments of the secretary of state's office clos- ed its day’s business Ist night, 63,000 motor vehicle tags had been issued, and the mark for the entire year of 1917 had. been exceeded. Not only is there promise of a much larger. reg- istration of motor vehicles this year, but ‘the receipts: will be far greater, as the lowest registration fee under the new act is approximately $7, while under the ‘old law there was a flat rate of $3. PUBLICITY PAMPHLET i TO COST STATE $5,000 Tuesday was the last date upor § which copy for the ‘primary. election publicity pamphlet could ‘be received and the matter now is in ‘the hands ol the printers at Wahpeton. Eighteen candidates will have a place in the pamphlet this year, and they will pay the state about $1,200 for this pud Over and above this amount, the advertising of these politicians will cost the state between $5,000 and $6,000. It was intended that the pub- licity pamphlet be self supporting when the act providing for its publica- tion was passed, but the booklet nev- er has paid the cost of printing. State Printer A. G. Jacobson is in Wahpe- ton, supervising the make-up. | JOHN STEEN CLUB FORMED AT HEBRON The “John Steen for Governor” club No. 1 was organized this week at Hebron, wth Samuel Halpren_presi- dent; Joseph Keller, secretary; Lewis F.Crawford of Sentinel Butte, presi- dent of the state board of regents, and Christ Flegel of Kulm were the principal speakers. The meeting was called under the auspices ofthe Inde- pendent Voters’ association by WwW. J. Smith, Hebron district committee- man. A liberal contribution to the state campaign fund: is reported.

Days Labor Is Pledged North Dakota to Aid with Harvest Ninety state officials, deputies and employes have signed a pledge dedi- cating their ten-days vacation to work on the farm during. the harvest sea- son. The list is headed by Governor Frazier, and includes practically every department head and employe at the state house. The.ladies have signed up as freely as the men, agreeing to cook, wash dishes or do anything else that may be required of them to help with the harvest. Governor Fra- zier probably will spend his ten days on his own farm at Hoople, John N. Hagan, commissioner of agriculture and labor, has,a big farm at Deering; A.-S. Olsness, ‘commissioner of insur- ance, has'a farm at Sheyenne; Secre- tary of State Hall has a big ranch in Oliver county; tate Treasurer John Steen is one of Pierce county's biggest agriculturists,. and Justice James E. Robinson of the supreme court has big holdings in Cass coun- ty. A majority of all the capitol em- ployes of both sexes were reared on a farm and have done.farm work, and their signing up assures the state of 900 days of reasonably efficient farm labor. NOBODY WANTS TO PRINT OUR ‘COURT REPORTS The high cost of printing will re- sult in a dearth of law books for ‘North Dakota, unless some ingenious offi- cial can figure a way out. When the time came for the state printing board to open bids for the printing of the North Dakota supreme court reports this week, there was not a single tend- - er. The maximum which can be paid by law is $2.25 the volume, and no publishing house in the country, al: though everyone of them was circu- larized and furnished with specifics tions, cared to take a contract at this figure. The Lawyer's Cooperative pub- lishing Co. of New York has held the contract for the last eight years, but it declined to bind itself to the same terms for another eight years, which would be the life of the contract, if accepted. . The printing board has asked Attorney General Langer for a way out of its, difficulty. The state's present contract expires July 1. U. §. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE TO HAVE AN OFFICE IN CITY The United States employment ser-: vice of the. department of labor has ‘eceived proposals for offices at Bis- narck, with a view to locating state ietdquarters here. ‘A local office also vill be established to supply the Bis- narck district and Slope country. The lepartment of labor is now operating n this state with Lindley H. Patten xt, Bismarck a$*state director, ‘and it ‘s understood the service will’ be per- manent. The department will have supervision over all labor matters, in- sluding the farm help proposition, ana will establish offices at Bismarck, Mi- not and Grand Forks. A Fargo office ilready is ‘established. MAY IMPORT LABOR FROM MEXICO ONLY IF IT IS NEEDED General orders relating to the tem- porary importation of labor from Mex- ico and Canada have been received by Lindley ‘R. Patten, director of pro- juctive labor, U. S. employment serv- ice, for North Dakota, and perm’‘ts for tthe importation of this labor, only in cases where labor of a similar nature cannot be furnished from the available supply in the United States, will be issued. The department now has on file many requests for female help, such as housemaids. housekeep- ers and domestics generally, and any women out of employment are re- quested to address the U. S., employ” ment service at Fargo.
