The St- Paul Pioneer 'Press' re
eeolly tent printed innnirios to tbe
members of the present Congress
askiog their views on (be question
of tbo division of Dakota and its ad
mission as either two Slates or one.
"It baa received replies from 70 mem
bers of tbe Uooee, representing 27
States and including 59 Republicans
and 18 Democrats, which indicate a
strong probability of the paseago
of an enabling act admitting tbo
Territory as one State aftor the next
Presidential campaign, if such action
will be acqaesced ia by the people
of the Territory.
Notwithstanding the faot that we
lave a compulsory school law there
are a great many children not only
in cities and towns bnt in the conn
try also, who scarcely know tbe
meaning ol education. luey are
not in school simply because of their
distaste for school work and the in
difference and negligenco of parents
who make no effort to coiopol tbem
to attend Tbe law does not make
it a special doty for any one to look
after its enforcement. But every
citizen, therefore, who has an inter
si in the welfare of society baa a
doty to perform in looking after the
execution of tbe law. The men who
have been bonorod with a place on
the board or education should bare
an especial interest in the enforce
ment of this law. We cannot afford
to bave tbe rising generation grow
op in igborance, loitering about con
traotiog vicious habits that load to
their own ruin, and make them pests
to aooioty and a danger to the nation.
