OFFICIAL COUNTY AXD CITY PROCEDINGS CALCULATED TO SCARE THE KAISER We have just received another of our daily grists of “pub- lic information” from the Creel Bureau of Public Information, the newest arrival containing about seven columns of reprint supposed to be enlightenment for the great American people to inspire them to’ bestir themselves to greater effort to help win the war. %" The “information” contained therein fails to state what became of the airplane fund of several hundred nqi]l‘rons or-any- thing like that, but we lamp much astounding enlightenment on such topics as “California Trains Untrained Women for War Service,” “What 20,000 Girls of the Class of 1918 ‘Are Doing in the Food Conservation Work,” “Me and You Plan to Pass ‘Along Inspiring Words,” “Sewing Classes That Led to Amer- icanism Among Mexicans,” “What Public Health Nurse Does} in: Conserving Child Life,” “Girls at Work in Aeroplane Fac- tory,” “Colorado Women Made a New Knitting Record,” “Stat- 10 1bs.

Her bone dry legislative law became effective Wednesday of this week and it cleaned up the booze business slick and clean. It forbids the operating of saloons, forbids the selling of liquor illicitly, forbids its manufacture, forbids the manufacture of beer or wines, forbids “its’ being shipped into the state, and it is a most miraculous transforma- tion. Texas has long been notorious as the “liquer controlled state.” Its good people have fought the gang for years. They ashamed of himself. A governor was the tool of the liquor interests and an attempt to unseat him proved ineffective. He was re-elected by the liquor gang, with a huge slush fund, later detected using state funds for personal purposes and ousted. Then it was the people secured a square deal with the result th law was passed crushing out the life of the booze control of the state. 2 : 0. IRON CROSS REMAINS NORTH DAKOTA'’S COAT OF ARMS North Dakota is true to Townleyism. It unequivocally gave Townley and his propaganda of anti-Americanism its strong endorsement in the primaries and continued its place with the iron cross as its coat of arms. The loyal citizens of the state who exerted their utmost to again place North Dakota in the loyal class are to be con- gratulated. Their patriotism is of the 100 per cent American brand. They went down in defeat with the American flag fly- ing at its mast head and they are glorified in their defeat. 4 0. WE MOST EMPHATICALLY PROTEST We must protest against the threat to curtail the circula- tion of the Congressional Record. That publication has filled a unique mission. It has been the medium through whic the real greatness of many a member was made plain to his con- stituents. Upon its pages are fiery speeches from many states- men that were never heard from on the floor. If Congress de- prives itself of this vehicle of conveying its greatness to the country, many great intellects will dry-rot from non-use. - 0 - WHY IS THIS PAIR EXEMPT? ‘And Fulton and Dempsey have been barred from fighting in Baltimore. This is the pair of “ham and—" prize fighters who have been attempting to obtain a location and a permit to pull off a boxing match ostensibly for the heavyweight cham- pionship and gull the public out of thousands of dollars. Where they have attempted to light state authorities have barred them. Where does that Crowder order “work or enlist” come in with such as these? It is disgusting to say the least. Yy T—— WISH WE COULD SAY AS MUCH An American lately returned from Germany states that among the many Americans still in that country not one has been accused of any overt act against that government. Cer- tainly not. They have accepted the courtesies and protection of the government, even though it be only. for a season, and Americans are not given to abusing the hospitality of a host. We wish we could say as much for many German subjects in this country. OF THE _— Over in England they have sentenced a man to prison for deroggtory remarks about the United States. It’s very hu- miliating to have to be taught the first principles of loyalty by a friend and ally, but we will have to endure it. $Ts s 0 1 Criticism comes of the American soldiers in France that|trial package. they are too anxious to fight.: What else could one expect when they were raised on a diet composed of three-fourths Jesse James and one-fourth Bob Fitzsimmons? And there’ll :fime ]a; tlge before long when not even their officers can hold em- back. 3 e America is thrilled by the exploits of her troops on the Marne. She will keep her enthusiastic feelings, and after the war is over will “tell them to the marines.” 7 _—— .
