SCHOOL OFFICERS IN SESSION
Interesting Addresses By State Officers and
Architect Qeo. Hancock.
:The
presidents and clerks the
school boards of Cass County* are
holding their second annual session in
the parlors of the Commercial Club
today. The attendance, considering
the inclement weather, is unusually
large, over 112 schools being repre
sented by delegates.
The principal feature of the morn
ing exercises was an address by State
Superintendent Olson of Minnesota,
whose talk was along the lines of co
operation among the school officers
and teachers.
This afternoon Superintendent
Stockwell of North Dakota addressed
the meeeting, and Architect George
Hancock made a very instructive talk
on the modern schoolhouse. showing
plans of a number of buildings with
improved ventilation and heating facil
ities. The talks of both Messrs. Stock
well and Hancock were greatly appre
ciated by the members.
Among other distinguished educators
present were President McFarland of
the Valley City.normal and Superin
tendent Kilpatrick of Richland County.

TOO BUSY TO BOAST.
Collier's Weekly: Chicago today is
the leader of American cities in the
solution of many of our hardest prob
lems. But now that they have some
thing to boast about the Chicagoans
don't boast. They don't know that
they are ahead they are not interested
to heat it. In their recent centennhl
cdehraflsbn t"hey did' not f»raise them
selves very much, not for Americans.
They hoped and promised themselvc.
that they would solve the problems
that remain to be solved. And it is
these things that they have not done
that preoccupy and depress them
keep them going. The recognition ot"
Chicago's sterling quality and its un
common .achievements has come
whence the ridicule came from the
world outside. And that's the great
est triumph of all. that and its undis
turbed dissatisfaction with itself.
TOO NEAR HIS FIGURE.
Apropos of recent revelations as to
corruption in federal office, a Wash-«
ington man tells a story of how Gen.
W. F. (("Baldy') Smith fought temp
tation in civil war days. The veteran
Vermonter was stationed in a southern
state and was ordered to prevent any
cotton shipments through his lines.
This meant vast loss to the planters,
some of whom quietly gave him to'un
derstand that he would "lose nothing"
by relaxing in his vigilance. Smith in
dignantly got rid of them and wrote to
Washington asking to be relieved from
that location. The planters finallly
came down to specific orders, their last
bid being $150,000. The general had
sent to Washington full details regard
ing these interviews and when the
planters offered the sum mentioned lie
wired to Washington: "Must be trans
ferred to some other command at once.
They are getting too near my figure."

ATIVrES 4ft i i
The natives ot Central America arc
at least beginaing 10 see that {hough,
the little republics down "there may oc
casionally thrash one another they
must treat the United States wrfh re
spect This result.was brought about
in good measure by' th'e i*lTective .means
of 'impressing the natives taken by Ad
niiral Cogliian while ins Hoet was
tioned at Puerto Cortes. He trained the
three big searchlights of his flagship,
the Olympia, upon the tow.i and play
ed up and down the coast with them
The reflection of the light was visible
far into the interior. An American at
Rio Blanco, twenty-five miles in fro:n
Puerto Cortes, said men and Women
fell upon their knees in prayer for de
liverance from the evil one. At Tela,
another coast town, Admiral Coghlan
repeated the maneuver. In the morning
a delegation of the townspeople was
sent to ask him what their fate would
be. The admiral told them to behave
and he would see that no harm came
to them.
