A WISE MOTTO. “Carry the truth to the people—! that’s all,” is the slogan of the organ- {zation launched to combat the so- cialistic doctrines of the Non-partisan league. It is not a movement antag- onistic ‘to farmers’ organizations. The farmers should and must organize for their economic advancement, but} socialism is not the right kind of a spur or a desired goal. Lincoln said: “Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.” All the farmers need is the truth, Nothing is gained by cheap invective against Townley, Coates, et al, It is necessary at times to fight fire with" fire, but the methods of ‘warfgre,_neof) not be those used by the I. W. W! agitator. Calm, temperate discussion, not vi- tuperation, is going to unmask this frankenstein masquerading in its coat of many colors, concealing a red shirt under a non-partisan garb. Free discussion is going to save; the state from the pitfalls and traps set by leaders of the league, who, ‘brave with success, do not seek long- er to conceal their socialistic mo- tives, ~Butsta.ceturn, to. the slogan of this new organization, which proposes to carry thé truth to the people, a slate- ent of Mfd6drow Wilson is recalled: “The only thing that ever set any man free, the only thing that set any nation free, is the truth.” Let the men banded together to save this state from the peril of so- cialism see to it that the truth, and nothing but the truth, is the corner- stone of their campaign. As Oliver Wendell Holmes well remarked, “You need not mind how roughly you han- dle her, she has got a splendid con- stitution and will survive every trial and every labor.” The truth, then, gentlemen,. go to it! ONE MEANS CLEAR. In war time, increased taxes should fe put on luxuries. The govern- ment and the majority of individuals have got to peel down to the neces- saries, and it is fair and just that those who want to hang on to their luxuries should pay for the privilege. . Alcoholic drinks are a luxury. In the present war, where nations have not abolished alcoholic drinks as + detriment to prosecution of war busi ness, they have socked on high taxa- tion. Morality did not enter into the inauguration of these policies. It was prohidition or high taxation as good war business. The duty of our Congress is plain. It should tax alcoholic drinks “all the traffic will bear,” as a matter of war ‘business with Germany, if for no oth- er reason. Uncle Sam bought Alaska for about 2 cents per acre. Last year Alaska yielded $16,000,000 of gold and nearly $40,000,000 worth of copper. Some real estate speculation, that! THE EXEMPTIONS. One proposition for increase of war revenue is to lower the income tax exemption, now at $4,000 for married, $3,000 for single people. The justice in the exemption granted a married man depends, in the majority of cases, on the size of his family. The distinction, in the difference in the exemptions, is recognition of the fact that the married man is entitled to some leniency. But, to simply have a wife and to have a wife and one to eighteen children makes a mighty fin- ancial difference, or we don’t know set | The married man’ with | should get off scott free. : other year. | Secretary Baker is not misquoted, we jit means training that will st jis found haggling over the details of} bigger incomes and the single man{ with income of $1,000 or more.

And this is all right. too. ' Uncle Sam must never again be caught in so helpless a condition as August, 1914, found him. Uncle Sam on a peace footing must always mean Uncle Sam able to take care of him- self, Our thorough preparation for war will be a mighty good — thing, though we never fire off a gun on European soil. It is going to show us and others just what we are, and ength- peace or en American manhood in war. DELAY DANGEROUS. ‘There is no overestimating the dan- ger to the country which may re sult from the opposition in Congress to the President’ war program. This country is at war with the} most powerfu] military nation in the} world. | Every day, every hour, every min- ute of delay in preparing to prosecute | the war to the limit of the country’s | resources in men, money and indus- trial resources adds to the danger of; the situation. It is so clearly the patriotic duty of every member of ‘Congress to give | to the President whatever he ask that it seems incredible that member should hesitate for an stant. | Congress committed the nation to| the war and ordered the ‘President as | commander-in-chief of the army and navy to go in and fight until Germany | is defeated. | And now, a week later, Congress | financial plans and military plans an threatening to refuse to pass the leg islation which the President says is necessary. The greatest proposition seems to be centered gn ‘the President's pro posal to raise ‘an army om the basis of i universal liability, to’ service. The council of national defense h; worked out all the plans for ra an army by this method, This was! the work of months. | To change the plan to a purely vol- untary basis, which many congress: | men are attempting to do, would un-j} do “all of this work, necessitate the making of entirely new plans and cause delay which might well spell) disaster. It makes no difference whether the members of Congress who are oppss-| ing the President's war plans are an-! imated by sincere or sinister mo- tives. They are all in the same boat. It is a German boat and the kaiser is its captain. Nothing that they can say or ‘lo can justify their position. There can be no justification for treason and treason is the only word that describes what they are doing. Giving aid and comfort to the en- emy in time of war is treason. Could Germany hope for greater aid and comfort than these members of Congress, who are handicapping the army and navy, are giving her? If these men persist in their treas- onable activities the people of this country will hold them personally re | sponsible for the disaster which will undoubtedly follow. You will find more of the leading people of North Dakota registered at) the Radisson than at any other hotel in the Twin Cities. | COMB SAGE TEA IN FADED OR GRAY HAIR \f Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens so | Naturally Nobody Can } Tell.

D., April 9, 1917. President Woodrow Wilson, Washington, D. C. A thousand congratulations. 1 mark your war message the best of | all state papers. Please permit me to suggest that you message congress to pass an act giving the soldiers fifty dollars a month, instead of an insulting fif- teen or eighteen. Under the consti- tution private property of the citi- zen may not be taken for public use without just compensation. A man’s time is his private property. It is a great shame for a great and rich country to beg or force men to serve as soldiers without a just compen- sation, Yours, J. E, ROBINSON. Bismarck, N. D., | April 10, 1917. President Woodrow Wilson, Washington, D. C. In a letter of yesterday I sug- gested that you message congress to pass an act giving the soldier $50 & month as a fair compensation for services, In this time of high} prices, when a dollar counts for less | than fifty cents a few years ago, it seems really scandalous for a great and rich country to beg or force men to give their time and to incur risks and hardships of a soldier’s lite for less than $50 a month. Un- | der an act giving the soldiers $50 a month you will find no difficulty in getting all the men that may be needed, and nothing will serve to advance this good measure only a mess- age from the president. One blast upon his bugle horn Were worth a thousand men, - Yours, JUSTICE ROBINSON. J. E. ROBINSON. | Now they say of Mr. Justice Robinson that he is too quick to publish his decisions and. to let the cat out of the bag before the other justices have time to concur or dissent. Alas! It is too true, and there is reason | to fear that he may never learn to put on judicial dignity and to fall into the ruts of the law as most good judges do.. Truly 1 do feel that a public servant is only a hired man, and that his business and duty is to be on hand and at work during the business hours of every day, and thus far I have not lost an hour; and when Saturday evening comes my work is all done. My table is cleared and on Sunday I have time to go to early mass and confession, to read the Bible and the newspapers and to compose my letters. 1 wish T were the pope of Rome, or the sole judge of the supreme court. Then, after writing a decision, 1 would not have to wait a month or two for anyone to concur or dissent. As sole judge it were an easy matter to write five or six decisions a week and to do all the work of the court. Of course I would not hear the lawyers talk four hours on a kindergarten matter like the Regents case. I would hear them talk one hour, tell them where to get off at, and in the next three hours write up| the decision and give it to the press. Under the present system my task is to confer with the other judges | and to concur in or dissent from opinions laid on my table and to write} an opinion or decision in any case when so directed by the chief justice. And it is all an easy matter when one knows just how to do it. Let me tell you the rule. I make it a point to look into every appeal record and to know the law and the facts of the case before the lawyers argue it. When they argue I give them some pointers if they misstate the law or the facts, or talk on side matters. After argument I at once examine any points of doubt and decide the case for myself. Then it is an easy matter to write an opinion and to give to any opinion a prompt concurrence or dissent. When Saturday night comes my table is clear; my opinions and| dissents are all written. To this there has been just one exception. In the Minot blind pig case | wrote and gave to the press my opinion within a week after the was argued, and that was the proper thing to do. Two months afterwards, when the majority of the judges came to write a contra opinion, 1 did not give my dissent until the following week, when it was published. The majority opinion was written by Mr. Justice Christianson, who is doubtless an expert on blind pig cases, though not on the sufficiency of indictments, I do sincerely object to a judge writing long decisions, because it is a waste of time and money, and assuredly the judges would never do it if they had to pay a cent on the cost of booking the decisions. To publish and book a dec nn does cost the taxpayers and others about $25 a page. Ina case of three or four hundred dollars a judge may pass three or four days in writing a decision of twenty pages. His time costs $75, to book it $500, the briefs and attorney's fees make the sum total about $1000 or more. Now when the expense of a suit comes to as much or more than the matter at stake, there is something wrong; there is something rotten in Denmark or somewhere. We pay too much for the chance of obtaining tardy justice. It is time for lawyers and judges to learn to do business on the square and to cut down expense and delays. Otherwise, the people may put us all out of a job, as they did the saloon keepers in writing a brief or a court decision the first step should be to give a clear and lucid statement of the case in a few simple sentences. It should appeal to the understanding with the utmost simplicity and clear-j ness. Here is a copy of my dissent in the Forgo tax case: Moody ys. Hagen. Robinson, J.: (Dissenting.) In Fargo, N. D., there was an old resi- dent named Hagen. He scorned delights and lived laborious days; and when about to depart for the land of rest he tranfserred all his property by will to a brother in Wisconsin, a sister in California and to a sister in wey, whose transfer tax of twenty-five per cent was $8,000. It is claimed that insofar as the transfer tax discriminates against the estate of the defendant it void, for the season of a treaty between the United} States and Norway especially providing against any such discrimination by one state or country against the citizens of the other. And so it has been held by the supreme court of Washington in an exceedingly well reasoned case, which is directly in point, on the same identical treaty. (109 Pac. 345, 33 L. R. A. (N. S.) 632.) All treaties made pursuant to the constitution of the United States become the supreme law of the land and the. judges of every state are bound thereby. While it seems clear that! the claim made under the treaty is conclusive; it seems equally clear that our constitution affords an ample remedy against such an unjust transfer tax. In this case the majority decision is based on the laws. of feudalism and not on the constitution of our state. The reasoning is based on the rules of law which resulted from the Norman conquest, but the state does not stand in the place of William the Conqueror. It is no Lord paramount. It has no kingly perogatives. It does not exist by divine right. It is merely a corporate entity which we, the people, have devised for the pur- pose of protecting our natural rights and it has no right to rob any person. The inheritance tax law shows on its face that it is a thief and a robber. It imposes a tax from one to twenty-five per cent on inheritances, gifts, grants and transfers made in contemplation of death. The act is void unless its purpose is to impose a tax. The title is “An act to provide for taxation and fixing the rate of taxation.” And by section 61 of the con- stitution the subject of every act must be expressed in its title. By section 176 of the original constituiton all property must be taxed by uniform rule according to its value in money, and by this section as amended, taxes must be uniform upon the same class of property. While property may be classified for taxation the classing must depend upon the character of the property and not on the character of its owner, the color or his hair or his relationship to any person. Unless the act pertains to taxation, it is in conflict with section 176 of the constitution as amended, because the various taxes which it imposes depends on the relationship of parties to one another and not on any classification of property. If such an unjust system of taxation and confiscation has been ‘sustained in any state under a similar constitution, it is because the’ judges did not know any better and because they give to modern constitutions and the natural rights of men less consideration than they do to the Jaws of feudalism. According to our bill of rights: Section 1. “Alf men ‘are by nature free and independent and have certain inalienable ‘rights, among which are those of enjoyment and defending life and libert¥; acquiring, possess- ing and protecting property and reputations and pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness. Section 2. GOVERNMENT IS INSTITUTED FOR THE PROTECTION, SECURITY AND BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE.” This means that every man has a right to acquire-property by gift, sale or purchase and the right to acquire and protect property is no greater than the right to dispose of it by sale or gift. According to the funda- mental principles of this state, when by any juSt means a person acquires title to property it belongs to him and his heirs, and when a man can no longer use his property it is his right and duty to devise\and transfer it to hig heirs, and the state has no right to rob either the Hving or the dead. which so much has been lately heard. was designed, it was, of course, aimed WILLYS-KNIGHT MOTOR to make these monsters of destruction as mechanically efficient as_ possible, and the Knight sleeve-valve motor was selec the motive power.’ “One of the strongest endorsements that the Knight type of Sleeve-valve says J.

The machinery of the body needs to be oiled, kept in good condition just as the automobile or bicycle. Why should the human neglect his own machinery more than that of his horse or his engine? Yet most peo- ple do neglect themselves. Their tongue has a dark brown color, skin sallow, breath bad, yet they fail to see that their machinery needs at- tention. Everybody should take a mild laxative at least once a week, A pleasant way to clear the tongue and the highly colored water noticed in the morning is to tgke a laxative which will cure the inactive liver and biliousness. A pleasant vegetable pill is made up of May-apple, leaves of aloe, and jalap, made into a tiny pellet and coated with sugar. First put up by Dr. Pierce nearly 50 years ago. Drug- gists sell these vegetable pellets in vials—simply ask for Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. If backache, scalding urine or fre- quent urination bother or distress you, or if uric acid in the blood has @aused rheumatism, gout or sciatica, if you suspect that you have kidney or bladder trouble, write Dr. Pierce, at Invalid’s Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., send a sample of urine, and describe symptoms. A physician and chemist will examine it without charge and you will be under no obligation what- ever. Dr. Pierce’s Anuric tablets can- not fail to help you, because their ac- tion flushes the kidneys of impuri- ties and puts strength into them.

Some time, about 75 years ago, the money crop of Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia was indigo, one of the most highly prized commodities of the present day. ‘That was before the invention of the cotton gin, and nobody is alive now in this country who knows how to grow indigo. But a hundred acres planted to indigo, by a man who knows how to grow it, would at this time bring him in more money than al- falfa, cotton, corn and peanuts com- bined. Indigo is the main ingredient of some of the high-priced dyestuffs, the scarcity of which is felt all over the world, and which will continue to advance in price Jong after the war is over, The same, soil is here on which it used to grow, only our fore- fathers found it more profitable to grow cotton, and indigo was left for other countries to grow and thrive upon.—Demopolis (Ala.)

C. Lucas. What drives the men right up to the trenches in this war is courage, and it’s red ‘blood that “puts the heart" in the men. Did anyone ever see a puny, thin-blooded man ever rush into the fight with any chance of winning out? With rich, pure blood you can face any hardship, reach any goal. ‘But you are handi- capped in the race of life without it. Every tissue, bone, muscle, should take from the blood certain materials and return to it certain others, This process insures perfect health, When the poisons accumulate in the blood, perhaps the face breaks out in pim- ples, or boils appear.on the neck, and we feel languid, tired, our vitality is at a low ebb, and we easily catch cold, It’s time to take an alterative ex- tract and blood-purifier taken from ‘Nature's forests, Such a one is made up of Golden Seal, Blood and Stone root, Oregon Grape and Queen's raot —extracted with glycerine and made into sugar-coated tablets or liquid, and this has been sold by druggists for the past fifty years as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It’s al- ways efficacious in the spring, when the blood is ran down and you need a wholesome tonic. Try this old- fashioned but reliable remedy, with- out alcohol! If you are occasionally troubled with rheumatic pains or lumbago, pain in the iback, toes or muscles of the body, this is due to uric acid stored in the system. The liver and ‘kidneys do not act properly. For such a person, I advise taking Amm- tic (double strength) three times daily for a week or two. This An- uric throws out the uric acid which accumulates, and if taken jonal- ly will prevent or cure rheumatism and gout. There is no difficulty in te? pha
