Just why the legislature is obs' el with a determination to overturn freight rates without consideration of the effect upon industries is not ap- parent. The lobbyists seem more po- tent than the shippers or receivers. One of the mysteries of the session is the manner in which the distance tariff bill passed both bodies. Leg- islators who represent communities where lignite mines, brick and tile in- dustries, are located seem to ignore the evil effects of such legislation on these industries. Who is demanding this kind of leg- islation? “The *fatmers’are not, for they will pay as dearly as. any for the costly discriminations. All the people can do now is to ap- ply, the referendum . and, when the measures come to a vote show disap- proval at the polls. These measures may contain some- thing of merit, but there has been no opgngdebate and no extended hear- ings "Phe legislature has accepted the“tictimt® of an independent’ oil shipper, who, in order to correct a small , has forced much ™ ae greater | ee tidagy’ off the leading industriés he state. His troubles could easily have been adjusted with- out changing any laws. There, must be more behind this kind of legislation than appears on the surface. If it is an attempt to embarrass the present administra- tion, the move may prove a costly one. If the entire state is to stand by and allow Fargo, by reason of dis- criminatory rates, to center all Job- * ding there, it is just as well to ascer- ie ‘bim to use such words as: =e w tain it now. A referendum will smoke out the real interests behind this leg- islation and we will gamble that it is not the oily gentlemen lobbying for the bill either. Rice hasn't advanced as rapidly as most foods. Government better inves- tigate to find out why. STRIKING PROOF. Whatever illusions the people of Great Britain may have had as to their ability to defeat Germany with- out drinking the last bitter drops from the cup of suffering and sacri- fice, must have been dispelled when they realized the full meaning of ‘Lloyd George's speech to parliament Friday. uwaking due allowance for the pos- sibility of a strategic purpose back of the premier’s words, it is not con- ceivable that anything short of the direst necessity would have impelled “Food stocks are the lowest in our recollec- tion. * * * The gravest measures are necessitated, otherwise there will be disaster. * * * we must find iron ore ships at all costs * * * endrmous sacrifices are required test- ing the national grit.” These were only a few of the most startling statements in the prime min- ister’s speech. Then Lloyd George outlined plans for increasing and ‘conserving the food supplies of the nation more far- redching and uncompromising in their scope than those in effect in ‘Germany, when one considers the dif- ference in the makeup of the two peoples. . importation of all luxuries is to be probjbited, even such semi-luxuries of British shipping i to carrying those articles of food Price Yate necessary to’ Keep thie peo-| PI a5 ~ ple in health and strength and the | yrs aisbury had. FosterMilburn ROE IER EN their manufacture which are neces- sary for the British armies. The figures used by Lloyd George the nation as nothing has done since the war began. ' “The year before the war,” he said, “50,000,000 tons of shipping entered ‘British ports. ‘During the past year the total was 306,000,000.” nearly 50 per cent in of their food. Millions of tons of shipping have been diverted to the Allies, according to the premier, a million to France alone. This has been necessary to keep the Allies supplied with food and metals. “a considerable portion of our ton- nage has ‘been sunk by submarines during the past 30 months. The ratio has been increased during the past} four or five months, and this present month, due to Germany's special ef- forts to do her worst.” | Certainly such a frank statement even of the partial success of the German submarine — warfare in the past and its increasing menace to the life of the nation would not have been made by the head of the British government un- less he knew that it was n ry to impress the people with a full sense of their peril. that their submarines are doing ex- actly what their leaders told them they would do, the effect is sure tre-| mendously to improve their morale} tion of these monsters of the deep. ‘Lloyd George and his fellow cabinet account and have balanced it against the alternative of trying to meet the perilous situation in a more secretive way. The fact that they chose the way that would give heart to their enemies is striking proof of the urgency of the situation. Looks as if some of the prohibition states are really going to have pro- hibition, after all. | Anyhow, this war excitement puts Tom Lawson on a back page with the lost, strayed or stolen ads. Col. Roosevelt offers President’ Wil- son to raise a division and, remem- bering 1912, you have to concede him some almighty fine*talent*at it: Over 750,000 employes worked in American coal mines, last year, and 2,225 lost their lives... ‘Safety first de- vices; however, saved about. 5,000. ia “A man can be brave in a home- spun suit,” runs an old chorus. Will somebody please write a ditty enti- tled “A Girl Can Be Fair in a Calico Skirt"? Teddy's holding back; he’s holding back! He offers himself and four sons in case of war but doesn’t peep about son-in-law, ‘Nick Longworth. And Nick would so become a trench! Onions 15 cents the pound at Salt Lake City and a 4-months-old hog sold at Lafayette, Ind., for Here’s where we buy one of those grass-catching bags for our mower! Visitors from the east say that the brilliancy and uniqueness of sports suits to be in vogue this season are “just maddening!” Girls, Girls! When will you let up on maddening us men? Now that the legislature has passed two drastic rate measures, it should promptly give the attorney general's office $500,000 to combat the legal at- tacks that will follow, provided, how- ever, the people allow the measures to go into effect. When the slipshod methods with which legislatures handle freight rate matters are witnessed, it merely em- phasizes the pressing need of federal regulation of railroads. The kind of legislation favored at this session will do much to hasten the aay. ‘Many of Bismarck Reader Will Feel Grateful for This Information.

Editor Bismarck Tribune: Just don’t be so sure or just don’t think the Eismarck Tribune knows all about just what the American peo- ple would think or do. Let me tell you just now if the American people jever have anything to say about it, there never will ‘be war with Ger- many end they won't hang their heads in shame, either, We have heard a whole lot about Germany and her misbehaviors, of which there are many, indeed; but every fellow sort of likes to see square deal. What about all the misbehaviors of England and her alli What about her illegal blockade, her interfere with our shipping, mails; her cutting off our trade with neutral countri Had no ‘busin it, of cour If this ig still a country for, > of the people, the people ought entitle to at least ion. What about. our lukewarm pro- tests to England? Did it ever occur to you that there never would have been a ship sunk by a submarine if it had not been for ‘England’s illegal blockade? No use this beating around the bush; better own up and tell the truth about it. We have not been neutral, but unneutral, right along. If war comes it is not forced upon us, either; wé go to war on the side of the Allies because look at the money they're giving us for ammunition, . There’s a little more money Say what you wish about ists and all that; they’re just a little ahead of their time. The whole world is pretty anxious right now to be pacifists; pretty anxious for uni- versal peace. You'll see the day, per- haps, when the whole world is proud to be pacifists. If the editors of those papers are so anxious to have war, just slide across the border and join the Cana- dian army; chance for them to fight any time, you know. But not your Mr. Editor; he don’t go to war; don’t leave his wife and family in need; don’t waddle around in the trenches in mud up to his knees for three years or so at a time; don’t sleep with rats, oh, no; not he; and your American people know it. The American people are able to speak for themselves; don’t need the Bismarck Tribune to do it for them; besides, the ‘Tribune don’t know anything about how they feel about things. D. J. M'INTOSH. INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF MAN. Jamestown, N. D., Feb, 28, ’ To the Editor: There are human rights which no king or government can lawfully dis- sipate or successfully deny. God has endowed all men with certain: inalien- able rights, No kingemperor, presi- dent, or prince bestows these rights: they are the gifts of. God.to_all man- kind alike. Despotism may invade these rights, ,but justice still main- tains them, /The-United States goy- ernment has the power, if it had the disposition, to deprive its citizens of even those’. rights (specifically men; tioned in /the Declaration of Inde- pendence,—the right to life; liberty, and the pursujt of happiness. Yet the fact that the government has the power, if it should wish to be despotic in its disposition, to deprive its citi- zens of those rights, does not prove that it is justified. in doing so. Governments were ordained to pro- tect the natural rights of all men and not to deprive any man of his rights. It is not true, as it is often asserted, that all men have to give up and sur- render some of their natural rights when they enter the social compact. No government has a right to ask any man to surrender any rights which are his own by nature, without his consent or without offering an equiv- alent in compensation, excepting, of course, penal punishments for con- victions of criminal acts. An upright, honest citizen should enjoy equal rights with every other citizen, irre- spective of numbers, creed, or color, before the law of the land. Equality of rights.is the first of rights, and in the sight of the law there should be no respect of persons, whether they >| be king or pope, nobleman or peasant, rich or poor, Christian, Jew or infidel, ?1 red, white or black, The right of, choice is divine, and every man should be protected in its free exercise so long as the exercise in-|of his choice does not interfere with the equal rights of his neighbor. The right to choose a religion and to practice its tenets and functions so long as the equal rights of others are not invaded, is the most important of all man’s natural and divine rights, and without this right all other rights are insecure. Every attempt on the part of reli- gious organizations to secure to them- selves special favors from the govern- ment by combined influence and pres- sure, which could not be granted to all alike, no matter how few in num- ber, should be instantly detected as an unlawful encroachment. upon the most sacred rights of every citizen. No citizen’s rights are secure so long ag a government dares to trample un- derfoot a single right of any man. The rights of all are secure only as we make secure the rights of each. In a republic each and every citizen is a sovereign. He rules his own spir- it and shapes his own destiny. He is the architect of his own fate or for- tune. His course through life is in harmony with his own choosing. His conscience is his monitor, and abso- lute in its own sphere of operation. It is the duty of the state to see that he conducts himself as a good, virtu- ous citizen in civil matters, and that he is protected in the unmolested en- joyment of all his constitutional im- munities and God-given privileger. whether he is religious or nonreligi- ous, Governments, as conceived in harmony with the divine economy, are not religious, but purely civil or- ganizations, and should deal only with man’s relation to man. The civ- il government has no scriptural’ or civil right to compel any citizen to worship the true God in harmony with the first commandment; it has no right to. prohibit -any. man rom making images and worshiping them “in violation’ of: the. aaeoud: and- ment; it has.no right to legislate on blasphemy against God and compel mento observe thg-letter_and spirit fof. the third commandment;*and it has no. right to compel people to ob- serve,the Sabbath of the Lord. This {s the Lord’sday,.and purely a reli- gions’ institution, It would be just as proper to .compel’ people to observe the Lord’s Supper, the Lord’s baptism and the Lord’s Prayer, by civilstatue ag the Lord’s day. ‘all-these are du- ties Christians owe to God, but) not to Caesar, and should be found only in the church ritual, not. on the statue books of the state, Ctrist isthe au- thor. of inalienable rights: Very sincerely, " S.
