H. Ingram of Baltimore, Md., recently passed the sixtieth milestone of their matried life, and during the entire period THEY NEVER QUARRELED. There’s a matrimonial record for you! It is something to aim at. The star to hitch YOUR wagon to. A goal worthy the winning. Sixty years together without a single quarrel! Have you ever heard the like of it before? It is so remarkable that we are strongly tempt- ed to set it down as the American matrimonial happiness record. But before we do this we will ask you if you know of any other couple quarrel- less through MORE than 60 years. Know any? Write and tell the editor. He’d like to print the story of every married couple in this city who have NOT quarrelled during their married life, no matter how brief a time they have sailed on the sea of matrimony. AJOHNNY APPLESEED A modern’ Johnny’ Appleseed is now going up and down the country urging the planting of trees. Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Forestry association, hammers day and night on the need of a national forest policy. He has called on the timberland owners and the foresters to get together on a fire protection policy as the first step. This modern Johnny Appleseed is reaching thousands where the Johnny Appleseed of legend, who marched from town to town, and planted as he went, reached only the few. Memorial Trees, Roads of Remembrance, Victory Drives, all plant- ed with trees in honor of the men who offered their lives to their country has met with a re- markable response. Women’s clubs, churches, Rotary clubs, Kiwanis clubs and patriotic organiz- ations to say nothing of individuals are planting trees in rows, groups and groves. With thousands more interested in trees, thousands more will be interested in the ways and wherefors of a national forest policy. JOY IN LIFE Young John D. Rockefeler has ‘studied his lesson of life well. He clearly has seen the fun- damentals upon which true happiness, real life, is founded, and this despite the fact that never a day has he toiled for an employer.. Always has he been the employer. It is doubly hard for such a man to get the right idea of what the working- man’s life should be. But John D hit the nail squarely on the head when he asked his fellow Round Table conferes: “What joy can there be in life, what interest can a man take in his work, what enthusiasm can he be expected to develop on behalf of his em- ployer, when he is regarded as a number of a pay roll, a cog in a wheel, ‘a: mere ‘hand’?” Surprising things happen, but none more sur- prising than the richest young man in the world taking his stand shoulder to shoulder with the workingman in the fight for democracy in indus- try and the right of labor to participate with capi- tal in the control of shop, mill, mine, field. That IS a silver lining to the dark “labor un- rest” cloud! f WHAT IS FAME? They have barred Buffalo Bill from the Hall of Fame! This is why, in the words of Robert Under- wood Johnson, newly elected director of the New York university’s “portico of immortality”: “Because he (Buffalo Bill) is famous in a bad sense, and we admit only those famous in a good sense.” Of course there must be some line drawn some- where between our famous men—good and bad— else Jesse James would get on a famous niche. But what we find objection to is this smearing of “bad sense fame” upon one of the most distin- guished of Americans, the Wild West host of roy- alty abroad, one of the very best shots the western plains produced, the peer of any lariat thrower, the superlative in broncho busting, the guide of the early settlers, the scout for American soldiers fighting attacking redskins, the man who did more to entertain and amuse the American public than all those famous personages now grouped in the Hall of Fame. ‘ If that isn’t fame in a “good sense” we have erred in our definition of fame. t _ This coming year the Hall of Fame officials are going have an election, permitting the’ Avnerican ple ta express themselves upon the nomination. a judgment and stability lending a hand to this un- ae /° WHEN THEY ARE FOUND The heart of a sympathizing world beats quicker when grief-stricken parents hunt’ for a lost child and the best wishes of every honest soul go to the father and mother in their search. The child-stealer merits—AND RECEIVES—the contempt of every decent man and woman, and SHOULD receive—what he too often escapes— the severest punishment allotted the criminal. Feeling that way about the kidnapping of babies, it is only human that we—each of us— should be happier when a parent finds his child again, Especially so when this comes after years of search and years of heart-breaking sorrow. Such a “find” was made the other day by W. C. Boswell of Princeton, W. Va., who found his daughter, stolen 15 years ago, when she was seven years old. For 15 years the father had hunted the country over, not knowing that his child was hidden in a mountain village nearby. .It was as though the dead had come back to life—for the father. If Gary thinks his cause is just, why not sub- mit it to arbitration., Has he no faith in the jus- tice’ of arbiters? It is easy to understand why an employer will not confer with his employes. Men love darkness rather than light for the same reason. There are two kinds of workmen in America: Natural-born simpletons, and thosé who save a part of the high wages they are getting now. If men are cattle, drive them back to work as cattle are driven. If they are men, consult with them concerning the task, the conditions of labor and the wage. eet | WITH THE EDITORS | poe: THE GREATEST POT-LATCH OF ALL Great preparations are being made for a warm reception at Fargo, October 21, when the hosts arrive for the great “Shake Down” festival ar- ranged to give the farmers yet another oppor- tunity to pay league debts, this special contri- bution being to the Scandinavian-American bank fund. The meeting place is being elaborately dec- orated and everywhere signs of greeting are no-| ticed, such as “Your Lord Loves a Cheerful Giver,” “Saviors With Open Pocketbooks Received With Open Arms,” “Welcome to the Shake Down Once More,” and other enheartening ebulitions of the spirit. The invitations say it will be the biggest pot- latch that the big chinook chief has yet given, and in return for their evidences of good faith in the shape of coin of the realm, bushels of largess in the form of socialist dreams will be given freely to the guests of honor. It is even whispered among the faithful that this will be the last of the great “outpourings” before the dawn of the New Day, and that those who attend the pot-latch properly equipped to “do or die,” will get great reward in the next world, if not in this. It is to be a great time! The farmers are to once more come to the rescue of the great chief- tian, pay off his debts to the bank and enable him to start in afresh to “touch” it at the rate of $50,000 a month under the able guidance and as- sistance of the bank examiner’s office and other state agencies. 4 No able-bodied farmer can afford to miss the gathering—in.—Beach Advance. THOSE IMPEACHMENTS If the Nonpartisan league hordes go to work to impeach Hall, Langer and Kositzky, and by reason of the fact that they have the necessary votes in the legislature to do that, we are going! to advocate right now the going to Bismarck after the thing is over if it is done, and by force of arms putting these men back into the offices for which they have been elected. The time has come when the people themselves must make a move to see that justice shall prevail in this state instead of anarchy and socialism—and that is what is gov- erning this state at this time, and we are sorry to see those we have always looked upon as men of righteous outfit who are trying to make this state a nest and refuge for Bolsheviks and socialists. It is barely possible that the Townley outfit will think twice before they undertake to carry their purpose to such an extent as they are now trying to work up, but if they do they can look for some- thing to be stirring in this state soon after they do anything like that. We are not an advocate of lawlessness or anything of that kind but we are for justice and freedom of action and we feel right now that we will have the backing of thousands of good citizens of the state in any movement that means a square deal for the men who have been elected by. the people. The governor may be com- mander-in-chief of the state troops—if we have any—but he cannot control the men in any action they might undertake to see that people get a square deal—the boys who wear the khaki are not socialists by a long shot. Some of them, but mighty few, might be, but the majority of those CONFESSED WIFE SLAYER CALLED TO SUPREME TRIBUNAL Mandan Man Who Recently Told of Killing Helpmeet 25 Years Ago Is Dead Mandan, N, p., Oct, 21.—Albert N. Brooks, the man who confessed that he had killed his wife at Columbus, O., twenty-five years ago by. striking her s the cheek with an iron bar, died last night at Mandan hospital. Brooks, it will be remembered, about ten days ago was stricken with paraly- sis, and when he thought he was going to die called a fellow boarder at the Loran home in the east end and made a confession that he had killed his wife, and asked that a minister be called. His confession was later made to State’s Attorney L. H. Comnolly, who immediately wrote to the Colum- bus authorities advising them of the confession. But little is known of Brooks here. He came to Mandan about eight months ago and had been working at odd jobs. Since he made his confession it has been learned that he had a niece, Grace Brooks, living. in Minneapol and upon her instructions the body will be forwarded to the ¢ Federal Agent Takes Alien Criminal With Him; to Be Deported Whole Trainload of Bolsheviks, I.

Martin- son, was removed from the Burleigh county jail last night by William Stern, department of jus' agent, and taken to;Chicago. At Chicago, Lewis will be plaéed on board a special train headed for New York and will be unloaded at Ellis Island and_ then placed on a Steamer bound for Europe with a number of other undesirables. Chief Martinson picked up Lewis on suspicion and found that he was impli- cated in a robbery at Jamestown. He acted in a suspicious manner, accord- ing to. the police chief, and he notified the federal authorities. The United States offiicials*did not take long to discover that Lewis was not wanted in this country and ordered his depor- tation for a crime committed in Eng- lund. Federal Agent Stern stated that tl would be a number of Bolshe- vi red radicals, I. W.

Course of Study (Continued From Page One) Frazier, exercising the power confer. red upon him by the new board of ad- ministration, which was lobbied for by Robert Muir, a brother-in-law of Wil- liam Lemke, who charged the state $300 for his services, and Neil Macdon- aid, whom the people had ousted from the state superintendency, appointed to the hoard of administration known enemies of Miss Nielson. ‘They in- cluded Rev.

Fiazier, as ex-officio chairman, and John N, Hagan, commissioner of agri- culture ‘and, labor, both hidebound ‘Townley men, completed the personnel of the board of administration. BOARD DOES THE EXPECTED The first official act of the boavd of administration. was to constitute an ecucational commission, as. provided for in senate bill 134, and this board was packed three to two and possibly four to one against Miss Nielson, The board of administration then formally adopted a resolution which provided: “That, the board of administration, haying the power to prescribe the courses of study for the several classes of public schools of the state, we here- by empower and authorize the educa- tional commission to proceed to pre- pare, draw up and prescribe all the courses of study for the several classes of public schools, which shall include all the common schools of the state.” MISS NIELSON APPEALS Against this invasion of her official duties, Miss Nielson appealed to the supreme court for a writ prohibiting the board of administration from af- tempting to interfere with the fixing of the courses of study for the common schools.” This writ the supreme court denies, but at the same time it up- holds the contention of the state that it is Miss Nielson’s duty, and that the last assembly clearly intended that it should remain her duty, to fix the courses of study for the public schools, Four members of the supreme court, however, interpret the act to/ mean that’ this function should be performed under the “supervision and Control tio board of administration, pursuant to the specific, power therefor granted the act? ‘This construction of the; statute appears to create an anomalous ituation which legal lights wlio have’ i fig is j read the decision have not yet straight- | ened out to'their own satisfaction. Legislation Reviewed In writing the opinion of the court, Judge Bronson reviews territorial and state legislation dealing with educa- tional matters. He finds that this re- view “readily discloses that the legis- lature, since statehoods, has asumed both the right and duty under the con- stitutional provisions to regulate the system of education in this state and of the public schools. even to the ex- tent of prescribing courses of study in the common schools; and in that re- gard to add to or take away from the duties of the superintendent of public instruction. ¥ ‘) “apparently,” continued Judge Brén- son, “no one has ever questioned the right of the legislature to so exercise this power of regulation.” ‘The court finds, howevet, that in the board of administration act Section 9 specifically reserves to the superin- tendent of public’ instruction ‘such freedom from supervision’ as the office heretofore has enjoyed. “Under the terms of said section 9,” says Judge Bronson, “it is clear that there is such general reservation of freedom from the exercise of supervision and control ‘by the board of administration. In this regard it will be noted that such superintendent of public instruction still possesses the power to prescribe and prepare courses of study for the common schools of the state, excepting that if such poard of administration has the specific power named, the duty of such superintendent: in that regard is subject to its supervision and con- SS Prominent Indiana J'armer Cured of Rheumatism by Taking No. 40 for the Blood Newburgh, Indiana, April 17, 1919 “I suffered with rheumatism for ‘sev- eral years and tried mumerous rem- edies with little or no benefit.

Used with advantage in eczema and skin eruptions of whatever char- trol; it is also clear that if such board possesses such power, pursuant to the legislative’ act, it must act upon and in connection with a duty formerly exercisc\l ‘by the superintendent a- lone. The contention that this power of supervision and control conerning the preparation of courses of study in the common schools would take from such superintendent such right and du- ty is unfounded, If such board has such specfic right, the superintendent nevertheless, possesses the same right to presribe and prepare courses of study for such common schools as theretofore, exept. that her power and duty in that regard are subject to the supervision and control of such board of administration.” In finally considering section 9, the court “has no hesitancy in arriving at the conclusion that there exists a di- rect legislative intent to grant to the board, of administration, the specfic power as stated in the statute to super. vise and control the course of study” and that section 9, reserving to the state superintendent her former pow- ers without supervision does not nulli- fy this intent. “Save the Bank” Is Battle Cry of League Farmers in Huge Mass Meeting at the Gate City (Continued from Page One) meeting at 7:30.
