THE ORATORICAL CONTESTS.
The interest which is being taken
in the declamation contest to be held
in this city in a few days, by the
several high schools of the state is
an indication of a better educational
condition in these institutions. For
many years there was a general be
lief that all that was necessary to
make the scholar was a possession
of certain facts and data. But that
idea has changed, and now the
schools are seeking to send out pu
pils who have been trained to think,
to reason and to search. The text
book details have been the means only
of developing these powers in the pu
pils, instead of being the end and
purpose of education as was largely,
if not wholly, true of the older plans.
The ability to acquire is considered
of
far greater importance now than
the ability to commit texts to memo
ry. Nothing will better serve this
purpose than the contests which have
been
planned by the high schools of
bringing their best products into
competition and by conflict develop
ing not
but
only the spirit of emulation
the ability to contest for that
which
is to be secured.
It
is a rather serious question if
the
schools by developing the non
combative side of child nature does
mot to
some extent weaken the char-
actor.
There is no need to argue
that in
this day at least, life is large­
ly a matter of
conflict

ance to normal conditions. Such men
never build railroads or lead in the
great industrial enterprises of the
country. They are the mollycoddles
of this age.
On the other hand the child who in
school is confronted with obstacles
and required to master them, becomes
largely imbued with the spirit of con
flict and the ambition of conquest,
and the tilings which would appall
the other class merely appeals to his
ambition. He rejoices in the strife
of battle and is most content when
meeting the sturdy advance of op
position. Naturally he becomes
strongly developed in this particular
and when he goes out into the world,
he is prepared to meet and overcome
the real obstacles of life.' These pu
pils constitute the class of aggressive
and fearless men and women which
is always at the front and is always
found in the advance of every great
movement
This development can not be se
cured alone in the school room, no
matter how diligently it may be cul
tivated. The boy who is the leader
in his own school comes to regard
himself as an invincible and believes
that there are no more worlds for
him to conquer. But if he is con
fronted with a new competitor he will
awaken to a better understanding of
his ability, and even in defeat may
be developed in the right direction.
The same is largely true of those who
possess the power but have not the
opportunity of development. But the
greatest advantage which comes from
such gatherings is the development
in the contestants of the ability to
think, to apply and to construct. The
appearance in public means so much
to them that the most careful con
sideration will be given to their ef
forts and the mental broadening
which comes from this makes the con
tests an important part of an educa
tion.
THE VALLEY CITY PROBLEM.

THE NEW YORK OUTLET
on the proposition of selling its elec
tric light plant, and the result was
emphatically in favor of such sale.
The plant has been operated as a
municipal affair, being owned by the
city.
The vote was a verification of the
theory that municipal control is bet
ter than municipal ownership of pub
lic utilities. The late Chicago elec
tion proved the same thing. The peo
ple of Valley City have had an il
lustration of the matter and they did
not hesitate to speak their minds at
the ballot box. Their judgment should
be worth something to other munici
palities. They probably had as care
ful administration of the electTic
light plapt as could be secured. No
charge of dishonesty or misappropri
ation of money has been made, but
the city lost money by its operation
of the plant. This merely proves that
a business to be successful must be
conducted on substantial lines. It
must be so managed that the future
as well as the present is considered.
This can not be done when the man
agement changes with every political
or factional -change in the community.
Such enterprises require well devel
oped business policies, and these
must consider something more than
a showing to catch popular favor.
WAS UNUSUALLY ENJOYABLE
Thursday Musical's Program of Yes
terday, May 9, An Exceptionally
Profitable One.
One of the most pleasing programs
the Thursday Musical has presented
this year was that of yesterday, May 9.
The several numbers were perfect,
both as to rendition and as to tone.
Especially fine was the work of Mrs.
W. E. Fuller and Mr. Frank Rorke.
The former gave a vocal solo,
"Spring's Awakening," by Buck, and
the latter was heard to .advantage on
the violin. It is about a year since
Mr. Rorke first appeared before the
Thursday Musical and his advance
ment as a player is particularly no
ticeable to members. The violin duet
by Mrs. W. G. Brown and Mr. Rorke
was heartily enjoyed, as was the vocal
trio by the Misses Lombard, Allen and
Williams, with violin obligatos by Mrs.
Brown and Mr. Rorke
Mrs. W. R. Vanderhoef's work on the
piano, as usual, was very dainty, while
Miss Mayme DeCamp sang never bet
ter. The different numbers were all
fine for that matter.

IS MAKIN6 GOOD RECORD
Prominent Young Government Em
ploye and His Successful
Rise.
Walter E. Carr, United States im
migration inspection agent, with head
quarters at Winnipeg, is in the city
today on government business. Aside
from the fact that he is one of the
very best men in the service, he is
among the youngest, though by no
means at the bottom of the ladder.
His political rise has been rather re
markable. He became private secre
tary to Congressman Davidson of
Wisconsin, and while serving in that
capacity took advantage of an oppor
tunity to enter the immigration ser
vice in a subordinate capacity. Be
cause of his ability to "make good"
on all occasions, he was promoted
rapidly, and though he only entered
the service in September, 1903, lie
is now in charge of one of the most
important points and has nineteen
men under him. He was at Washing
ton at the same time Fred T. Lincoln
of this city was there and it was on
Lincoln's suggestion that the position
was secured for him which led to his
appointment to his present responsible
one. He is now under civil service
rules and will likely land higher up
the ladder before he severs his con
nection with the government His
home is at Oshkosh and he is an old
friend of Manager Black of the Even
ing Times. He was much surprised
when he reached this city to find such
a colony from his native town.

Travelers Fignre That
GOT.
Bnrke
Will Not Appoint Hotel Inspector
Until Middle of Jane.
Traveling men who are Interested
in the appointment of a state hotel in
spector in accordance with the new
hotel inspection law passed at the
last session of the legislature, are of
the opinion that Governor Burke will
hold off on the naming of a choice for
the position until after the grand
United Commercial Travelers' con
vention which will be held in this city
on June 7 and 8. The governor has
been quoted as saying that he would
let the knights of the grip make their
own choice for the position.
The friends of P. A. Lowe of this
city are very optimistic over his
chances for landing the position. The
appointment of a Fargo man, Hell-
Btrom.
to the wardenship of the state
penitentiary, it is thought, will clear
matters to some extent as Fargo
would hardly be entitled to the hotel
job.
6. N. FORWARDS BIG CHECK
Martin Mayer Receives Check For
$1,074 For Back Pay From the
Great Northern.
The many friends of Martin Mayer,
the popular delicatessan man, who
was recently exonerated from all
charges made by Pinkerton detectives
with reference to his handling of
transportation while employed as a
conductor on the Great Northern, will
be pleased to learn that Mr. Mayer
today received a check for 11,074 as
back pay for tbe time he was laid off.
Mr. Mayer would not say definitely
that he had received the check but
the information comes from reliable
sources. He is rapidly closing out
his stock at the delicatessan estab
lishment and will resume his duties
with the Great NoAhern within
a
week or two.

WILL NOT DRAW A JURY
Sheriff Hunt Will Summon Fifty Men
and Twelve Will Be Taken for
the Cramer Trial.
Judge Pollock Willi begin court on
Monday next at Fargo, when the case
of the state against Mrs. Laura Cram
er, charged with murder in the first
degree, will be taken up.
At the first trial the jury failed to
agree on a verdict. By an agreement
entered into by the defendant and her
attorneys, Lee & Fowler, and District
Attorney Barnett, Sheriff Hunt was
empowered to summon fifty men as
veniremen in this case without the for
mality of drawing a jury, and these
will appear at court on Monday and
from the number a Jury of twelve will
be drawn to sit on the case, and the
others will be excused from further at
tendance. The case will be stubborn
ly fought on both sides.
