PRICE FIVE CENTS THIRTY-NINTH YEAR, NO. 204. 15,000 PEOPLE APPLAUD WILSON IN KANSAS CITY Great Convention Hall Filled With Crowd Which Cheers for Two Minutes SEES AN END TO FORCE President Believes Arbitration and Consultation Will Be Substituted Kansas City, Mo., Sept 6.—President Wilson appealed to a Kansas City erowd today to support the peace treaty for a charter for a new order of world affairs. Making his third speech for the treaty in Missouri to a capacity audi- ence President Wilson spoke in conyen- tion hall said to accommodate 15,000. When, the president, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, appeared on the platform of the auditorium the crowd, each of whom had a small American flag, arose and cheered for. more than two minutes, President Wilson had appear: ed in the presidential party parade through four miles of city streets to conyention hall. Mr. Wilson was introduced by B. A. Parsons president of the Kansas City chamber of commerce, The president coyered many of the same points of the treaty he had dis- cussed in previous addresses. One of the things America had had in heart throughout her whole exist- encé, said the president, was that ar- bitration and consultation should be substituted for force. This was accom- plished, he declared, by the league of nations covenant. Boycott Effective Weapon The boycott imposed by the cove- nant was emphasized by the president ag constituting a measure more effect- ive than military force. The “most conclusive thing” that could happen to a nation, he continued was “to be read out of decent society.” Effeetive disarmament would be ac- complished under the covenant, Mr. Wilson predicted, declaring it was.ridic- ulous to talk of the league as, tending to war when “its whole essence” is arbitration and peace. The league he declared would mean the end of the “military plan” thruout the world for- ever. “There is no other way to dispense with great.armament without an agree- ment of the great nations of the world” said Mr. Wilson “and here is the agreement.” The End of Autocracv. Autocracy would perish with mili- tarism, added the president and the intrigue which had terrorized Europe for generations would be ended., He declared that “democracies will soonen| The board of supervisors would have -or later have to destroy that kind of government and if We don’t do it now the job will still be before us.” Moscow Worse Than Berlin “The men who, now control the affairs of Russia,” said Mr. Wilson, “represent nobody but themselves. They have no kind of a mandate. There are only 34 of them I am told. There is a closer monopoly in Moscow than ever was in Wil- helmstrass. And a man more cruel than the czar is controlling the des- tinies of that people. “And if we don’t want little groups of selfishness to plot. the future of Europe then we must see to it that lit- tle groups of, selfishness do not block the future of the United States.” With Jaundiced Eyes The’ people said the president had been mislead about the treaty by men who look at it with “the jaundiced eyes of those who have some private interests of their own.” When these men were “bibbetted” by public opin- . lon they “will regret that the gibbet is so high.” “If anybody dares to defeat this .,great instrument,” he continued, “then ythey will have to gather together their * cuuncillors for the world and offer something better. I say it is a case of 1 up or shut up. A negation will not ie the world, ‘ Not Looking For Fight The president asked the audience _not to think he had come out ‘to “fight or antagonize anybody.” “I have the +, ate of the United States. But I have «come out to fight a cause that is great- er than the senate and I intend to . fight that cause in office or out as long as_I_ live.” . President Wilson ended his address at 10:55 a. m.

Parsons, county superintendent | of schools, shows that 4171 persons of school age now reside in this county compared with 4082 last year.

INITIATED ACTS MAY SAVESTATE SCHOOLS IN 1920 Plans Already Made to Submit Measures to Voters at March Primaries WOULD DEFEAT RED RAID Control of Common Education| Would Be Restored to State Superintendent Plans are already under way, it is reported at thef capitol, for the initia- tion at the presidential primaries next March of two acts which will relieve North Dakota educational affairs from their present embarassing predica- ment. One of the proposed acts will create a board of supervisors for the general supervision ‘and administra- tion of all penal, charitable and edu- will costitute he governor, attorney general, secretary of the state, state auditor and state treasurer members of the board. The ofther proposed act will restore to the state superintend- ent of public instruction the powers of which she has been deprived by the beard of administration act which was passed by the league majority in the last assembly. , As proposed, the board of supervis- ors would have power to employ an executive secretary at a salary of not more than $3,000 per annum and such) other employes as it might require, ! aud it would assume all of the powers of the board of administration insofar as the state penal, charitable and edu- cational institutions are concered. All duties and powers in connection with the public and common. schools of the state would be restored to the super- yisio of the state superintendent of public instruction, and all the records ad equipment which have been _re- moved from this office by the board of} administration would be returned. jpower to appoint a state board of edu- cation which would serve without pay other than travelingg expenses. It is claimed that North Dakota women would have an opportunity to vote on each of these acts and that if this is a fact there is no question of the adoption of these acts by, a large majority. Women have always had thesprivilege of voting in educational matters, and they assisted in piling up a large majority for Miss Nielson when she made her race for state sup- erintendent of public instruction last fall. They were, however, deprived cf a yoté when the board of adminis- tration act, which has stripped the office of state superintendent of all of its powers, was submitted to the people at a referendum election last June, COMPANY ORGANIZES TO BUILD HOTEL AT FORKS The Northwest Hotel Co. of Grand Forks has been incorporated for $500,- 000 by Fred Parsons, L.
