Gistablished 1872 A CRISIS PASSED. A tew anarchists we always have in our: midst; we also always have a considerable number of recently arrived immigrants who do not at all understand our governmental proc- esses. Take out the disturbance caus- ed by these two elements and the registration for selective service would appear as about the most peaceful operation we ever engaged in. nationally. Our professional anarchists naural- ly take advantage of any occasion when anybody is dissatisfied with any- thing. In Wisconsin, .Mighigan and ‘Minnesota are large bodiés”of allens who imagined that the registration meant they were to be shipped back to. foreign horrors from which they had fied.

Altogether it was a day in which fmportant war business was pushed forward calmly, deliberately and suc- cessfully. A good many national elec- tions have witnessed more lawless- ness. . If ever any danger of popular out- break against selective service exist- ed, it has passed, and the authorities directly engaged in carrying out war measures can go ahead with complete confidence. 3 ‘Haying 13 dependent children by his ‘wife ‘now dead and 20 by his pres- ent ‘wife, a Connecticut man claimed exemption from selective service. Thirty-three perfectly good reasons ought to be enough to let him out of the fighting. “But, when it comes to ‘@ the paying, we've got this gent dead to rights, by lowering the family man’s income tax exemption to $2,000. It is to be presumed that this man, being able to keep 33 children alive, has'a ihn income. sf ARE. {DOLLARS : :PATRIOTIC? ‘The results of the flotation of the 24 $000;000,000 Lingiyi Loan will show ‘whether the American people’ are re- ally patriotic when their pocket nerve is affected. They are not asked to give their ‘money to their country, but to lend it at a very good rate of,interest. And in this call to serve with their savings, Uncle Sam wants to hear _from the little fellows just as much .as from the big ones. In fact, the more little fellows the better. because it will keep just that many of the ‘multimillionaires from investing their money in something ;that/is not tax- able. ¥ We Americans of small means may in this matter, at least, take a leat out of the German book. The biggest of the German war loans was issued in September, 1915. It brought in $3,025,000,000. There were 3,966,418 subscribers, of whom 984,358 bought $50 or less; 858,259 bought from $75 to $125; 918,59 bought from $150 to $250, while 952,- 801 bought from $250 to $1,250. In other words, 94 per cent of the investors were small investors, And these small investors took $958,000,- 000 of the loan. That is about 32 per cent of the total German loan and almost 50 per cent of what our gov- ernment is seeking. If every American who has saved a little money will be as patriotic as the Germans, the bulk of this loan will go to the men and women who have no great surplus of wealth. And that is exactly where it should go. The last two weeks have been the best for British shipping since Ger- many started her great submarine campaign. land will begin eating: this season’s crops. If Uncle Sam is on time, Eng- land won't starve, so the kaiser can notice it. PLAYING CARDS OR BIBLES. War tends to divert people’s minds from normal thought. Superstition has abundant opportunity for devel- opment. British and French soldiers believe | if three men light cigarettes from a! single match one at least is sure to die soon. With the number of casualties of the war the chances are that one of any three men will be killed. The escapes are forgotten and the instances where it has worked out are ‘cited to prove the case.

It would probably be fruitless to suggest Mat a pack of playing cards, banned by the church, might have been equally effective as a shield. Plugs of tobacco have doubtless stopped enemy bullets, and later giv- en the soldiers the consolation of a quid, without stirriug the missionary society to » supply the army with “chewing.” This appeal for testaments is a wor- thy effort, but why becloud the effort to save men’s souls by bringing in the accidental saving of a man's body? It weakens the appeal. Step up and enlist, fellows! The laundry work has been arranged for. Already, 690 American-born Chinese have been recruited for army service. ew York is 10,000 miles nearer heaven than she was this morning,” says Billy Sunday, concluding a ser- mon.

Be- tween the investment that of actual:devotion to country and sacrifice there are several billions of bonds yet to come. Even failure to fully subseribe to the present issue wouldn’t indicate much beside the fact that, until congress gets taxation fixed, a lot of the folks won’t know what they can afford. Alexieff, commander-in-chief of the Russian armies, has resigned. The difficulty about being commander-in- chief of the Russian armies is that you can’t tell when you have Russian armies that'll be commanded. Eat less meat, more corn, rice and barley, advises’ the American Medical association, in convention assembled. It doesn't mean “business as usual” for doctors, either. We Americans think that there are none in our class, when it comes to push, but the so-called easy-going Britishers have given us something to stare at. “Somewhere in England”| they've put up in three months, a machine gun factory covering nearly three acres and are now turning out a steady stream of guns and 1,000 machines driven by electricity and ap- erated'by women. The main building required 1,320 tons of steel, 9,500 panes of glass, and was completed in 40:days.

C., Tune 1— ~Popu- lar and powerful as Arthur Balfour has been in welding the war spirit of England and America, as head of the British mission, Great Britain is replacing him with even a stronger and more’ popular influence toward more spirited American participation in, the war. England sends Lord Northcliffe to America because he is the most suit- able man for the job. He is the most American: of all Englishman, a Na- poleon in his actions, a genius in foresight, the man of destiny who, according to the late Count Tolstoy, is to end the war. America welcomed Lord Northcliffe in 1909 as England’s greatest news- paper man. ‘He was known then as the millionaire owner of some 45 newspapers in Great Britain, who rev- olutionized English journalism by his American methods, who was: despised for his radical tactics and envied for his remarkable genius and foresight. Now Lord Northcliffe comes as the greatest man in England, who opened England’s eyes by his revelations of her military inefficiency at the begin- ning of the war, hammefed at the truth until he caused a complete change in the government for the bet- ter, and is getting action for -his democratic demands of the British government.

B. 84 That if need be he will sitg his hymn of hate from the gallows in an effort to do all in his power to de- {feat the Liberty Loan was the sense lor a challenge which A. C. Townley, president of the Nonpartisan League, hurled in the teeth of Theodore Wold, president of the Ninth reserve bank, at the league’s Jamestown meeting Saturday. Townley’s Demands “We demand here and now and all the time, and we’ will continue to de-! mand fiom thi¥! plétiném; trom: this roadside; fromthe *dtisétop;” from the country, ‘if need be, from. the ‘fed- eral penitentiary, or even from, the gallows—-tor if you are to make that sacrifice I can make any sacrifice, and I am not afraid—we will demand that this nation or the rulers of :this na- tion, fearing now. not, so much for us and ‘our country, as‘ for yourselves, you rulers, of; this ‘nation, using: this war now: to multiply; yoursmillions of war-profits; we-demand of you, afraid «| of. the autocracy.ef Germany, afraid of, the autocracy of Europe,;if-you; fear that autocracy may come.-across the. waters and rob you of your power to rob us; if you are afraid and you want us to go to war and give our lives, we say to you that you must send proof to us that. you are sin- cere. You must make this arrange- ment, that when we give our lives, all that we have, this nation will take first of your profits and then of the property you have got, if the profit is not enough; and after the war is over we will give back, as you will give back, of our lives, as much as is left, and no more.” : Townley the Martyr... - Townley is shrewd enough’ to re- alize the advantage of martyrdom. Townley, the martyr, the seems to think, will appeal to North Dakota farmers where Townley, the czar, has failed. If Townley--could contrive to get himself arrested and sent to Leavenworth he no doubt would feel that he had’ accomplished more for his cause than he could ex- pect to gain in a year’s ordinary or: ganization work.

To ‘conscript men and exempt the blood-stained wealth coined from | the sufferings of humanity is repug- nant to the spirit of America.” For ‘the first: time in his present speech-making campaign, Townley de- fended conscription: “I believe so thoroughly in. conscription of life in time of war that I believe the age lim- it should be raised to take in all those that advocate war but do not go. In time of national crisis and necessity it is the only measure and the only way to raise an army. To try to raise it by volunteer system is insanity. . On- ly by. conscription can you get the best for war.” Has Changed Mind “They say I oppose the sale of bonds,” said Townley. “I do not. But if there is another and better way, we haye a right to propose that bet- ter way. If a man can pay as he goes, that's sound business, and he ; ought to pay.” Tt was because Senate Bill 84, ap- propriating $300,000 for the building of terminal elevators within or with- out. North Dakota proposed this “bet- ter*way” of “paying, as you go” that it. was vetoed by Governor Frazier, after Ieague members of both houses had assisted in its passage. It was because House Bill 44, the league’s proposed new constitution, proposed unlimited bond’ issues for the financ- ing of state-owned enterprises, in lieu of “paying as you go,” that the conservative element of the senate voted down that measure. And be- cause of these two facts, Townley, who believes “paying as you go sound business” and Governor Frazier, dur- ing the present speaking campaign, have glorified the governor’s veto of ‘the Equity’s terminal elevator bill and have scarified unmercifully the “stand pat” senators who defeated the eague’s unlimited bonding proposi- tion. ‘MOORE CONVICTED AND GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE; - CURSES JUDGE AND JURY |Another Accomplice in Dunn Murder Begins Expiation of Crime at Stillwater. ‘ St. Paul Minn, June 11.—Mike Moore, alleged go-between in the kill- ing of Mrs. Alice Dunn in this city sev- eral weeks ago, was found guilty of murder in the first degree by a jury which: deliberated léss than an hour.
