ROBERTS, W Aes Meteorologist. JUST A DEMAGOGUE. When the Nonpartisan League land- slide swept socialists and near social- ists into the North Dakota state house under a republican disguise there was one ray of hope in the belief that Governor Lynn J. Frazier would be governor of the whole people. His speech at Devils Lake on regis- tration day brands him a demagogue of the soap box variety. He is Town- ley’s echo. He is the pliant tool of Thomason and Bowen, socialist agi- tators of the most pronounced type and defenders of the I. W. W. at the last legislative session. While the manhood of North Dako- ta was marching bravely to the polls to enroll themselves in this crusade against autocracy, Governor Frazier was delivering an address keyed to arouse. class hatred; Townley was protesting’ against the Liberty Loan and the war, while Bowen and Thom- ason held up to ridicule those prin- ciples cherished by all who have any patriotic devotion. Is North Dakota socialistic? Is North Dakota anarchistic? Is North Dakota unpatriotic? Further support of the present Non- partisan league leaders will indicate that a majority of voters is soctal- istic, unpatriotic and anarchistic. The Tribune feels that it is dawn- ing upon the farmers that they have deen tricked and hoodwinked. At the First district congressional election, the league leaders should be smitten hip and thigh. The measure of Governor Frazier demagogy is this statement made at “I was on the floor of the senate for a time and when I saw those pompous men with their white vests and Jong- tailed coats struging prouiid: said to nyself,,1 wonderhow many.of them really represent peopté:who s@itithem there? pa The governor was not _ specific. Whether it was the long-tailed coats or the white vests that annoyed him, he failed to state. ott i Frazier advocate some \ aon for the United States senate to distinguish the sen- ators who do from those who do not represent their constituents? Would he take the “strut” out of senatorial dignity? But seriously, the statement is a cheap attempt to arouse class feeling, hardly appropriate for a day fraught with such significance as last Tues- day and ill befitting his high office. Townley's socialism is well measur- ed in this statement: “The nation demands that you give yourselves and your sons and your brothers and your husbands and your| sweethbarts to be taken across seas| and spill their life’s blood on the fields of Europe, and then comes to you and asks you to subscribe for the Liberty bonds to pay the expenses of war. This is the injustice of the war and the manner in which officials of the administration are carrying it into effect.” | It is a measure also of his patri- | otism. How long will the farmers of ‘North Dakota stand for such leadership? COME ACROSS, Have you bought that Liberty Bond yet? If not do so at once. Take an invoice of your money. If you haven't enough on hand go to one of the banks and get a bond on the in- stallment plan. In any event, buy one or several | bonds. Uncle Sattinueds the money. He is -jand his hordes is in Europe. our “silver bullets.” He is also using these “silver bullets” at home, to get things in shape for some hard hits. If the world ts to be made safe for democracy the kaiser must be hit right between the eyes, and hit soon. The sooner the better for democracy. Hit him with a Liberty Bond. Hit him with as many as possible. Every bond is a blow at autocracy. Every vond bought makes democracy safer. Come across and buy a Liberty Bond. For if you don’t come across the kaiser will. We have got to stop the madman of Europe. A bond will help stop him. The best place to stop the kaiser If he isn’t stopped there he will come across here. On June 15, when the subscriptions to the Liberty Bonds are counted, one of two things is going to take place. Either Pennsylvania avenue is going to be happy ahd Wilhelmstrasse sad, or Wilhelmstrasse happy and Pennsyl- vania avenue said. It's up to you, Mr. Ordinary Citizen, which it will be. Come across now and then the kai- ser can't. WHEN A BABY CRIES. While thousands of brave men are dying on the battlefields of Europe, among them Americans from our own cities and towns, we pursue our daily life much as usual, with little thought for the dead and dying. The great European misery mast makes but little impression on us; that is, we feel little concern over the matter of men in misery and death. But down in Missouri a baby is kid- naped. The little tot is held for ran- som. It may be dead, or it may be alive—nobody seems to know. The attention of a nation is arrest- ed. Everyone is concerned about this child. And the reason? It is simple, The human heart is always touched by the appeal of childhood. We may grow callous to everything else, but we cannot grow callous to the cry of a baby. Childish prattle has always brought us joy; childish tears have always brought us sorrow. It will he. so. al- ways. Great armies may march to death —they are just armies. ‘But when a child is lost—ah, that is something else. We are not happy till that child is safe. SE KERENSKY. Every great upheaval has a way of evolving its natural léader. Our revo- lutionary war brought forth Washing- ton and Jefferson and their peers. The French revolution produced. its Napoleon, who made himself, maste| of France and, for a time, éf Europe. Unless cut down by tuberculosis, from which he is suffering, or ,sup- pressed by jealous socialists, or, assas- inated by the dark forces of reaction, there is every indication that in Alex- ander Kerensky Russia has produced a first-class leader. He has been tried before this and not found wanting. A lawyer of Sar- atoff, he joined with others in pro- testing against the manner in which a famous court trial was conducted. His reward was to be sentenced by the czar’s bureaucrats to a prison term, which the government feared to carry out, so popular was the young barrister with the plain people, whose cause he had espoused. In the present ‘soul-stirring times, as minister of war, he is endeavoring to-restore something like order, dis- cipline and fighting spirit into a vast army where chaos now reigns. He comes into the trenches and with flaming words of an evangel seeks to make the moujik soldiers realize their sacred duty: “Our watchword is liberty, equality and fraternity and our device is for- ward. We have now the freest pol- icy in the world. We have reaped the harvest in a field watered by the blood of the best, but we must not selfishly use this harvest. We are guardians of the treasure of Russia.” If this eloquent leader is spared to complete his task, if the soldiers and the workers and the farmers will heed him, hussia will do her part in the war for the liberty of the world. Otherwise, the Slavs will utterly fail their western allies and, while fight- ing among themselves, will give Ger- man and Austrian bayonets the covet- ed opportunity of restoring czardom to power. With registration day past, Amer- ica has entered the era of real mili- tary strength. A Liberty Bond makes an ideal June wedding gift. It will also be full face value as September alimony.

As it comes from. nearby, the question will naturally arise, why all this expense when other theatrical organizations invariably make the “jump” as a day- light trip with the regular equipment furnished by the railroad? Real Beauty Brigade. The answer, is found in the frequent reférende tothe “yéauty squad” and “beauty brigade” to. be, found in all the announcements relating to the at- traction. ‘Béauty is’ the! fyndamental appeal that gives the show unparal- leled vogue and it is the protection of beauty that compels the manage- ment to indulge in unusual expenses. Must Keep Fresh. Dazzling ‘blondes and dashing .bru- nettes are alike prone to fade and there is no greater safeguard against that process than comfortable sur- roundings. Long, tedious trips in stuffy railroad coaches and all that sort of thing are regarded by the management as the'factors capable of working greatest havoc—hence a dis- play of extravagant lavishness in pro- viding comforts such as are enjoyed. by ‘comparatively few travelers.

Nonpartisan Leader and Daily please copy. It is a notable thing that ,in Ger- many, the socialists, with few excep- tions, have supported the war, while our soci: s have almost uniformly opposed every war measure proposed by the United States. The German si lists voted for the war budgets and echoed the govern- ment's claim that it was fighting a defensive warfare. American social- ists pledged unyielding opposition to all military measures and declared the United States’ entry into the war was a “crime.” German socialists are fighting in the trenches; American so- cialists are fighting conscription. One of the recent socialist efforts in this country was to attempt to dis- credit the commission to Russia be- cause it might interfere with their plans for a separate peace between Russia and Germany. It is only fair to say that a min- ority branch of the party has opposed all this propaganda. “J. G. Phelps Stokes, himself a socialist, charged that it was German in origin and pro- German in intent. He referred to such men as Morris Hillquit and Vic- tor Berger as the: leaders in promul- gating the doctrines that seemed. de- signed to help- Germany. , Americans should remember _ that socialism had its ‘birthplace in Ger- many. German socialists founded the socialist movement in America. Dur- ing the first years German_was the only language spoken in their meet- ings in New York. Recently the government committee on public information issued a, warn- ing that “speculation about possible peace is a topic which may possess elements of danger,” as peace repo\s may be of enemy origin, put out to weaken the combination against Ger- many. In like manner, it would be well, for Americans to bear in mind a similar warning regarding socialist got that the only United States crop furnishing money to.our allies so they can deal some “effecttye~tiows® with that fails, this harvest, will. be the crob of loose ‘Tat St activities and propaganda. The b oli iss peace. terms Q|is perhaps significant that Foposed socialist conference | & has more than the color of being in- spired by the German government. It Hillquit and Berger have been most eager to promote that conference. These men may be entirely sincere. Their ap parent pro-German attitude may be hereditary and instinctive, an cious tribute to the land that gave birth to socialism. At the same time we cannot over- look the poss#bility that Wilhelm- strasse may be operating through sub- terranean channels to influence the action of American socialists. We have only to recall that many such organizations as the Friends of Peace were proved to ‘be financed by Ger- many direct or by German sympathiz- ers. If it is contended that Germany can no longer communicate her secret desires to the United States, we may refer to the apparent success of Ber- lin in learning more about the move- ments of our ships than the American people. - + | MOFFIT NEWS William Nichéls was a capital city caller Saturday. 2" Grace and Idd Mauk were Soo Pas sengers to Bis! reK, where they will spend a week visiting with relatives.

R. Gilmore, curator of the State. Historical society des- cribes upon his return to Bismarck as among the most unique in the his- tory of the northwest. Lt The exercises were held under the auspices of the Indian Scouts’ asso- ciation. Three of their number had fallen with their commander, General Custer, at Little Big Horn. Each of those young men went into battle that day singing his own individual battle song, and now, on this Memorial day. 1917, their surviving comrades. sang their songs, one after another, in their memory. “As these scouts, now old men, sang the songs of their comrades, snatched away in their youth, the tears rolled down their cheeks and voices broke,” said Dr. Gilmore today. After singing the death songs, they sang a hymn which they recently have composed in memory of Custer, their old commander. Made Memorial Address Dr. Gilmore was invited by the Scouts’ association of Armstrong to make the’ Memorial day address for them. The people came from: long distances over the reservation, so they assembled the day before, bringing camp equipment with them and camp- ing for the night to be ready early for the next day’s activities. The celebration, Dr. Gilmore. reports, ‘in conception and’ execution would be a-credit to any community, Indian or white, Many Indians Served In the’ early ’60’s and '70’s a con- siderable number of the young men of: the three tribes, the Arikara, Man- dan and Hidatsa, enlisted in the United States army as scouts in the fighting against the western Dakota and other hostile tribes. The, sur- | vivors of this force formed themselvos some years, ago into an organization called the Indian Scouts’ association. The association has a cemetery at the site of “Fish-Hook” village, called by the whites Forth Berthold village. Here the graves of their dead com- rades are fittingly marked by govern- ment gravestones such as are used in all military cemeteries. There are in. all about. 120 graves of Indian scouts in this cemetery, among them peng: those of the. three heroes of the ister’ massacre. © i . , New Indian Pony * An, Arikara Indian driving his own ¢ar ‘Was, sent by the association to met: Dt: Gilmore ‘at the railroad sta- tidi'‘at Garrison, and convey him to the vicinity of ‘the old village, where entertainment’ was’ ‘provided for him until after Memorial day. © The Scouts’ association engaged the Garrison ‘band to: furnish music ‘tor the exercises the’ ‘morning of Memer- dal day. oA band concert: was: given at the: place of assembly, and when America ‘was played everyon2 stood up..without.prompting..

The parade formed and marched to the cemetery, the.band playing a dead march. , The band rested at the north- ,east, While the scouts marched hy and bpntirely around, the cemetery, coming ito.a rest at the east and facing the graves. The women and girls, carry- ing flowers for the graves, came to a rest on the north side. Following the singing of tne battle hymns, the chaplain offered prayer, efter which Dr. Gilmore made an ad- dress in commemoration of the sevice of the scouts, the dead and the living. Flag Raised The flag had been at half-mast all forenoon. Now it was noon, and the Battle Hymns on Lips of Warriors des in Indian Memorial Rites Death Chanted by. color-bearer of the association ad- vanced to the flag-staff, and while the band played The Star-Spangled Ban- ner and the people stood with bared heads, the flag was drawn up to the top-staff, and so remained until sun- set. , The women now advanced and dece orated the graves. Then a cornettist sounded taps, the parade formed and marched back to the meeting place, where another concert was given by the band, after which everyone dis- persed to their tents for dinner. Community Program In the afternoon the people assem- bled in a sheltered spot at the edge of the timber, where an organ and song ‘books had been provided, and a com- munity program was carried out. The principal address of the day’ was giv- en by Dr. Gilmore. Speeches were made by the old scouts and by a num- ber of the younger men, leaders in their community. Exlanation was made of the war situation and mili- tary registration. | Exhortation to loyalty ‘was the chief note in_ the speeches’ made by the old scouts. One of the old men said that when he thinks about the war he wishes that he were young once more that he might again serve his country. He said he could not imagine what the war of these times would be like, but he would -like to,krewiand she; was sure: that.some great; go0d,,to,, the world will come from it all. When he enlisted he did so because’ he thought it was his duty to serve in the United States army_against the tribes which were the enemies of his people and also the enemies of the United States. He did not realize then as he does now, when he looks back at those times and secs results from that service. je sees, ow that, His people and the white’ people ‘ang tie’ ‘people of the tribes’ that were ‘hostile’ are one ‘peo- ple, ‘one’ ‘nation''aid one’ in interests, working’ together “in’ peace. “'Great good has come that he never antici- pated, more than he ever expected, out of the service which he and his com- rades did in those days, and he be- lieves that some great good will come to the world from what the United States and the friends of the United States are doing now. Giving, of Gifts Community singing ‘was interspersed with the speeches, and then was serv- ed a feast, to which all sat down to- gether. Then there was giving of gifts. . People gave gifts in memory of dead relatives and in their names. ' These gifts sometimes were to indi- viduals; .again to _ organizations. of which the dead had been members. After gift-giving the people’ sang in English, “God be With You till, We Meet Again,” dispersed to their tents, packed up, broke camp, and soon, all but a few who lived too far away to reach home that night were trailing away over the prairies on which they ‘had hunted the buffalo and the hostile ‘Sioux but @ géneration ago; but which now teem with prosperous farms and great herds of fine cattle. The’ northwest’ owes a great: debt of gratitude to the Fort Bertholdiin- dians. The Arikaras, Mandans and Hidatsas, always peace-loving, thrifty, tillers of the soil and good husband- men, were ever hospitable tothe new- comer. Preyed upon by the savage Sioux and driven from village after village on the. banks of the Missouri, they doubtless held a kindred feeling for the wanderer and the oppressed. It was with these kindly Indians that Lewis and Clark, more than a century ago, found haven throughout the long cold winter, and it was their provisions and the Crow-woman guide, Sakaka- wea, found in their camp that enabled the explorers to again turn their faces westward in the spring and to press on until they had added to America’s domain a great northwest kingdom. German Retreat Means Added | Desolation to: Part of France Staff_correspondence of the Asso- ciated Press, British Army headquart-" ers in France, June 7.—While the grip of the Germans, clinging desperately to line they flung from Switzerland to sea, slowly but steadily is being broken each backward step means added de- solation to a beautiful part of France. The coming of spring has emphasized anew how closely the pursuits of peace tread upon the heels war. Tidy French farms, geometrically precise, reach up to the very domain of the guns and it is possible on many parts of the line, to see old French men and women following ploughs or harrows. almost to the very edge of the heavy battery’ positions. 3 Shells are tossed near them now and then but they never seem to mind.

Today, while resting, a squadron cavalry was having a water carnival along a pretty little French river. Their band was playing gay airs and all the women, children and old men of. the. countryside came to see the swimming races, diving contests. and attempts to walk a greasy pole-across a swift-running stream.: There was a soldier clown, too, and a great air of merriment all about.
