ROBERTS, Meteorogolist. SACREDNESS OF AN OATH. Judge Nuessle by summarily com- mitting witnesses to jail whose testi- mony changes under peculiar circum- stances is wholly justified and prompt- ed by no other desire than to see that justice is done. It too frequently happens in the Burleigh county district court that witnesses, especially in cases involv- ing violations of the prohibition law, make one affidayit to the states‘ at- torney and when called to testify in court change the story completely or deny knowledge’ of the facts of is- sues; involved. pa _ «The .procedure taken by Judge Nuessle should arouse some respect for an.oath in. those who are inclined to handle the truth carelessly. A few hours of meditation..behind steel bars . Often, refreshes the .memory, and, in- creases respect for law and order: | » With no intention of prejudicing ” apy pending cases and, without ¢om- plete knowledge of facts, involved ‘in them, the Tribune merely desires to ommend Judge Nuessle for his. vig- orous application of a remedy which promises to impress the obligation of an oath upon some people. This week witnesses the last drive for the Liberty Loan. It is typical of the socialistic predilections of Gov- ernor Frazier that he is not spending it to increase the sale in North Da- kota. Rather is he being used as the s tail to fly Townley’s kite. BEGGING THE ISSUE. A. C.‘Townley, with the facility of a trained demagogue, merely begs the issue when he says that he is not op- posed to the Liberty Loan. The whole trend of his speeches is hosttle to the government’s plan for financing the war. He is trying now to con- vince the farmers that the indict- ments against ‘him for seditious utter- ances in the press of the state in- volve them, too. No one questions the patriotism of the farmers of North Dakota. Many of them are purchasing Liberty Bonds, others are enlisting in the army and navy and in other ways are showing a patriotic devotion lacking in the socialistic group now directing the destinies of the Nonpartisan league. Mr. Townley’s statements are de. signed to arouse apathy toward the measures of the administration, to discourage recruiting and in other ways to prevent the quick dispatch of matters connected with the con- duct of the war. | The socialistic orators of the league have toned down their’ epithets against the government since the press of the state® challenged their statements. Mr. Townley even now is hedging, trimming his sails as it were, evidently under fear that hé has overstepped the bounds. It is not necessary to garble his statements. They are unpatriotic in the extreme. Washington, however, does not need to worry that the drivel of this flannel-mouth agitator repre- sents the sentiment of the farmers who are busy in the fields, preparing to increase the food production that the forces fighting the battle of dem- ocracy may not go hungry. f The American government is ex- t tremely lenient in these matters. Townley probably will go unpunished for his sedjtion. It he persists, some : steps may be necessary as the war 14 plans of the nation develop. ay As. long as he can compel Governor Frazier to be barker for his socialistic troupe, Townley will continue his ti- id BISMARCK DAILY..FRIBUNE be nearer at hand than Townley, ‘Bow- en, Brinton and others anticipate. It may be necessary to force them to express some allegiance to a flag other than the red emblem of the s0- cialists. ' Before the war England had 1,200, 000 income taxpayers; now she has 3,200,000. YOUR LOOSE DOLLARS. In asking you to buy bonds, the gov- ernment does not want you merely to shift investments. It wants to use your loose dollars—that is, your money which is not working. Many savings banks, building associations, churches, schools and stores have ar- rangements by which you can sub- scribe for bonds and pay so much & week until it is all paid for. Gener- ally the weekly payment is 2 per cent of the amount of the bond, that is, $1 a week on a $50 bond, $2 a week on a $100 bond. These are the dollars Unele Sam wants. Get busy at your savings bank or building association and make these loose dollars and $2 work for Uncle Sam and you. Uncle Mitchel Pixley writes from Mogadore: “Old Seth Beardsley’s got war economy by. the whiskers. He don’t eat eggs because they might pro- duce chickens and don’t eat chickens because they. might lay eggs.” ea . ° HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. He was a self-contained man, but he was very lonely. He was saved by his sense of humor, although his face was one of the saddest in the world. He-was a man who-did not seek to shirk a responsibility. He had to face one of ‘the most gigantic jobs in history and he put it through. He had some good aides,’ but, in the last, analysis, the burden of decision was upon his shoulders, and be did not try to unload upon someone else. When he listened there fell upon his ears the raucous, cries of those who were really traitors to the cause and the bitter criticisms of those who were really devoted to the cause, but gave aid and comfort to the enemy by their loud, complaints. ..The lonely, man heard it all, sighed, and. continued upon the path marked out for him- self. ¥ ‘Arid’ today 'we'‘hell ‘the ‘name of Abraham Lincoln with a fervor of love and ‘a hush of reverence~ such as we accord no one. else in our, his- tory. { He saved the Union. He neva the helm of the ‘ship of state steady in the stream, with humanity and jus- tice as his guiding lights. be We remembet nly thoge things. ‘We. are. likely, to-lforget the abuse heaped upon him;:the sneers directed im. We forget ‘how little’ help and,;comfort: were ‘vouchsafed jhim. as blind .our eyes’t ‘o | the critictem. leveled at ‘caliinet ministers whom to- day. we praise. We overlook the fact that during tle war’Lincoln was as sailed for assuming too much power and too much responsibility. And today history is repeating it- self. As Lincoln did, so Wilson, an- other lonely man, is doing. He is concentrating himself upon his job. He is doing his best to make democ- racy safe in the world. And his contemporary reward is the cheap drivel called “oratory” in congress; the scoldings of newspa- pers ‘that would ‘rather revile than praise; the snarl of’ interested poll- ticians and contract grabbers that his cabinet ministers are.not up to their jobs. It is time Americans conned their history. . It is time they. learned some: | thing from what Americans did to Lincoln. The way to win this war is not: to make the path of the President hard: er, but easter. His isthe responal- bility, his the great task. And we can all make it lighter and easier to ac- complish if we will talk less and serve more. Bitter words wif not win this war Patriotic acts will. Members of the Nonpartisan league should ponder on the situation and then muzzle Townley and his cohorts. Typographic error made that New York World cartoon read “Cleaning Out the West,” when it should have read, “Cleaning Out the Nest.” The World will please consider its apology accepted and hang its proofreader. TOWNLEY AND BONDS. A. C. Townley, whose reputation as a business man and economist is well reflected by the court records of Gold- en Valley county, presumes to tell ;the farmers how this war should be financed. His opinions may have some weight with the socialists, but when closely scrutinized are inimical to the best interests of the farmers. A pay as you go policy for this war will bring upon us a commercial stagnation the evil effects of which the farmers cannot escape. Mr. Town- ley wants the present generation to pay for all the war dedt. He would eliminate any obligation from the shoulders of posterity, but take botb blood and treasure from a people al- ready heavily burdened.

OF STATE, STATB| its charter. the first rudiments of finance knows that it cannot be done without break- ing down the entire business fabric. .Mr. Townley. not only wants the government to ‘take all the milk and cream ‘from the farmer's cow, but he wants to give the cow, too. Tf Mr. Townley’s. advice were followed, the government, would stifle all fhe means of production De an unbearable tax load. Since. when have. ‘bond issues be- come unpopular with ‘Mr. Townley? House Bill 44, if it had passed, would have saddled a bond issue on North’ Dakota which even the fourth’ or ‘the fifth. generation, could not retire. Bonds were very. proper in Mr. Town- ley’s estimation when. it meant looting the school fund to engage in all sorts of’socialistic enterprises which meant. political patronage for him. But when the government proposes a bond issue backed by the vast re- sources of the United States, an ex- cellent investment for the people, Mr. Townley says the plan is all wrong. He declareg all war expense ‘should be met. by/direct taxation, that pos- terity should not pay its share—pos- terity, who, more than anyone elsc, 1s to enjoy the fruits -of victory. It was proper in Mr. Townley’s judg- ment to saddle millions of dollars of debt upon the farmers of North Da- kota to eperiment. in socialism, but it is all wrong to float a two-billion bond issue to help fight ails war for dem- ocracy. Was there ever more brazen hypoc- risy in the history of the state? Mr. Townley’s speeches might. well have been written at) Potsdam. . Wilhelm- strdsse rejoices, doubtless, as her spies scattered over the nation cite Kaiser Towgley as their most ardent advocate. * How long will this enemy of the Republic ‘be allowed to spread the seeds of dissension, treason and se- dition? . —— It is to be hoped that the hearing on the new grain inspection will re- sult in a workable plan. The league has slapped a $500,000 a year tax upon the backs of the North Dakota farmers. Dr.,Ladd. has a. big job to fix an inspection that will.-be accept- ed at the terminal markets. » “If the enemy navy can be induced to show themselves again, we will do the rest,” says the Berlin Anzeiger. It must be awfully discouraging for the German navy to go out hunting, day after day, and never find the ene- my. —— Texas has got fare enough along in her wheat harvesting to announce that the crop “exceeds expectations.” Another rap on old Mr. Gloom’s head! “The American deputation received a warm reception,” says a Petrograd cablegram. We believe it. Petrograd is a,warm place, just now. OF NORTH ‘DAKOTA. TO ALL TO: WHOM THESE /PRES- PNTS.SHALL? COME: *W:McGray, J.. A.

Such maneuvers ‘as nervous popping out and drawing back of heads, shak. ing of black-tipped tails» and’. shrill cals of squatting ‘sentries ‘are: con spicuous. The clans finally sally forth to attack and any adversary sitting up is assaulted and, amid a volley ‘of chattering taunts, is knocked over backward. : Retreat is hailed as a de cisive defeat, When a dog dives inte a burrow his opponent gleefully fille the mouth of the hole with loose earth and vigorously tamps it down by but- ting with his head.
