ROBERTS, Meteorogolist. CHEAP INVECTIVE, Townley’s denunciation, printed in the Tribune today, needs no answer. Individuals are respected often for the enemies they make. The same Is true of newspapers. Mr. Townly’s enmity is cherished. Every farmer should read his cheap tirade against the press and measure the man who Proposes to lead them into the prom- ised land. The Tribune asked several ques- tions in good faith in its Thursday edition. All of them remain, unan- swered. In place of answers, ‘Mr. Townley gave abuse of the gutter type. No newspaper of general circula- tion is opposed to farmers’ organiza- tions. The Tribune has aided and as- sisted farmers’ organizations and will continue to do so. But it is not pre- ‘pared to support the demagogues who control the destinies tof the league. Neither ‘does it* believe the fatriers of:‘fHe* stata endorse? Townley'’s an- Amoricait sentiments. “Mandan and ‘Morton county turned a@cold«shoulder to. this opponent. of the’ Liberty Loan. The indifference of thé ‘honest ‘and patriotic farmers of )Morton, and adjoining. , counties lashed ‘Mri Townley. “into. oné> of his stage tempers and when’ undér these spells he always: cuffs and. curses the press. Let the socialist rave. If the farmers purchased Liberty bonds where would Townley get his $16 per head? 4 OVERSUBSCRIBED. Germany cannot mistake its mean- ing. Where a man’s treasure is there his heart is also. America’s “heart and her treasure are in this war to win. The Liberty Loan has been over- subscribed. This is America’s first victory of the war, It is an old adage that money talks. Kaiser Wilhelm doubtless heard the challenge of the American people im- plied in subscriptions to this bond issue so that the world may be safe for democracy. Let those who sought to defeat the sale of the bonds hide their heads in shame. Wilhelmstrasse had hoped that America’s heart was not in this war, but it must realize that the na- tion is slowly, but surely, becoming aroused to the significance of the struggle and that “the wrongs against which we now array ourselves are no common wrongs.” No nation plunged into a war with- out a period of apathy, hesitation and unrest. It took England, with guns roaring at her very doors, more than 8 year to wake up. America has not been in the war three months, but in that time nearly ten million men register for military service, thous- ands are on their way to voluntary service in the trenches’ and the na- tion subscribes more than two billion as its first war loan. Not awake? What belligerent other than France or Germany can show greater alert- ness to the deep significance of the war? There is some apathy, to be sure, but it is the natural resistance prelim- inary to that complete activity of which the oversubscription of the Liberty Loan is a mere forerunner. THE INGRATES. A socialist in Iola, Kan., in a pub- lic speech, grossly insulted the Stars and Stripes. The man was caught by a crowd of citizens and forced to salute the 0} are so filled with venom and hatred released. Right enough and speaks well for Iola’s moderation as well as patriotism. But you can't make a patriot out of an ingrate. There should be some legal way of dealing with the class of men who for all men and things that they curse the flag of the country which feeds them. They should properly be kicked out of the country; failing that, they ought to be compelled to break rock until their gall bag bursts. UNLIKE TOWNLEY. John Spargo has left the socialist party because it is un-American and pro-German. Allan L. Benson, social- ist candidate for president, resents German influence’ within party lines and Charles Edward Russell has been voted out of the party because of intense patriotism and lofty Ameri- canism. No one has charged Townley with leaving the socialist party for any of the above reasons. —_—_—_—_—— CONSTANTINE OF GREECE. Constantine, affectionately known as “Tino,” has joined the group of jobless kings. Kings are either losing their voca- tion or prestige in Europe. “No more kings, no more war” is a slogan whose volume is growing daily among the peoples of Europe suffering under autocratic rule. Call the roll of kings. Albert of Belgium has merely a toe- hold on his kingdom. Peter of Serbia, Nicholas of Mon- tenegro and Ferdinand of Rumania are in exile. Nicholas of Russia is a prisoner. and Constantine of Greece only escap- ed a like fate by abdicating and leav- ing Greece at the command of the Entente. While pro-German influence may not be at an end in Greece, one of the kaiser's most servile henchmen has been removed. His abdication is a diplomatic vic- tory for the Allies in a quarter where too many defeats have been suffered cy is now at the command of the Allies. The fall of Constantine was inevi- tablé. His people were not proGer- man. They regarded his rule with suspicion and even open rebellion. There was little,or.no sympatby with his- Pan-Hellenic dreams, fed and :in- spiréd from‘:Potsdim.

Alexander, Conatantirte's second son, is; supposed to..be-in’sympathy with the former premier. ; 4 All of which is not cheering news for the kaiser, whose intrigue has ended so disastrously at the court of his brother-in-law. ARMIES OF MERCY. ‘Never in the history of the United States was there a more stupendous call to aid in the relief of suffering humanity ‘than is contained in the campaign to secure $100,000,000 in seven days for the American Red Cross war relief fund. (Bismarck and Burleigh counly will) be asked next week to do their part. The young men who will be drafted out of this community to fill the dim- inishing ranks in France, Belgium and elsewhere must be cared for. Whose money is going to supply suc- cor? It must come out of the pockets of the people of Burleigh county. We.are in ‘a state of war, regardless of the fact that up to now few of our people have suffered the death and pain which war entails. But that time is surely approaching when the blood of our men will be spilled on the battlefields of Europe. The hour has arrived for us to share the suffering. All must enlist in this great army of mercy, the American Red Cross. Teams will call upon you next week. Burleigh county has its quota of the $100,000,000 to meet. There is no substitute possible. ‘Money, hard cash of the realm is needed so that the armies that will leave the shores of the United States may have the comforts, the medical attention and all the accessories that go to lighten the hard lot of a soldier. When our sons and our brothers fight for our liberty in a foreign land, the least we can do who do not bear erms is to give money so that tender care will follow them in the hour of suffering. Canada, with only a population of eight million contributed an army o¢ 470000, and raised $16,000,000 fer the Red Cross. Let us make a personal sacri‘ice if need be to equip these armies of mercy. Our boys, when they get a fur- lough from the grim work of the trenches, cannot go home, 3,000 miles away. The Red Cross: must furnish some THE LIBERTY ‘WERE OVER i LOAN BONDS ° SUBSCRIBED _—— UNCLE Sam can rest and enjoy a friendly atmos- phere. Never before has a call been issued for a nobler service.

Must have been the. size of .the crowd or he never would have used the under-studi ,pand pronounced .. by , Artist, Harrison Fisher to the “the most beautiful girl in California,” is ‘Intears... She mar- ried “Dr.” Sherman»Crawford, who is now under -charges of not) being a nicely uniformed, young ‘naval officer, /and who, on being.-jailed for bigamy, had in his pockets but $4.20, a pow- der puff and a small :uirror. Seems to be another case of “the most beautiful girl” and the young “social lion,” and it would be interest- ing to know how many lives are ruin- ed by public flattery of artists and others, including some publishers. Any girl with symptoms of beauty is inclined to be vain. Along comes some artist. and pronounces her “the most beautiful,” her picture gets into the newspapers and all the vanity in her goes to boiling. She receivés scores of “mash letters,” proposals of marriage and other verbal flattery, until she's ply vanity-mad, and certain that she’s entitled to the pick of the men. Maybe, in her sphere, social sphere, the pick is a young fel- low who is swashing around in a uni- form. The uniform sort of obviates any necessity of investigation of his antecedents or his invisible means of support and, being he’s a social lion, he naturally falls to the lot of “the most beautiful girl.” There's no thought of searching him, before mar- riage, to discover if he has anything save a powder puff and a hand mir- ror. It is simply a matter of “the most beautiful” landing the most charming whom all the other girls are after. Vanity is the most tempt- ing bait that’s put in villainy's trap. Parents who feed the vanity. of their children make a mistake. When the feeding is publicly done, the mis- take is very likely to be fatal. It is nice, it is desirable to be beautiful, but when you hang your beauty out in public, you can be sure that the daws will peck at it. U. C. T. Notes F. A.

DODGE CAR, $375.00 If you want a real bargain in a There is a report that our, good Governor is about to secure a time- keeping clock and to require each state officer to make a punch so as to indicate the time of his going to work and ceasing to work. Assured- ly that is the proper thing to do. It is ‘| the duty of the Governor in some way to keep tab on all state officers, and especially the Judges, as they have been the chief sinners. They have been too much in the habit of going and coming and doing as they please. ‘In former times it was no uncommon thing for a Judge or ‘other public servant to shut up shop and to leave his work for a week or a month or more, and to receive pay for doing work which was left undone. Now, of. course, it is not so common and yet the habit does continue, and so it is the duty of the Governor to put a stop to it. He is the boss and the head overseer. His duty is to see that the laws are faithfully executed and to keep tab on all the hired men of the state, just as much as if they were in his own employ. At present there is much talk of conscription and of liberty bonds and of the best way of carrying on the war, and of course these are proper questions for consideration of self- governing American citizens. In Scripture we read how a large army were stampeded and put to rout by 300 fearless men who blew their trumpets and cried aloud: “The, sword of the Lord and the sword of Gideon.” But the men of Gideon were not drafted, they were volunteers who were anxious for the fight. Gideon was careful to take not a man who was in any way fearful or faint- hearted, and so our Roosevelt would be a Gideon were he where he should be,-on the soil of France with 10,000 well paid and well selected men— 10,000 men and every man a brick. ‘Then ‘they were an inspiration that Saturday Evening Letter By Justice: J. E. Robinson All would cause the stones to move. men are not fighters and in battle a man is only in the way unless he is a natural and eager warrior. What if it were a fight between dogs? Who would think of drafting the bird- dogs and the collies and putting them in the way of the bulls and the mas- tiffs and the bloodhounds. The con- scription of the fearful and faint- hearted is a waste of time and money. It is not common sense. If our gov- ernment only will pay the price, it will get plenty of mastiffs, bulls and hounds eager and ready for the fight. Just offer $100 a month and behold the rush! In financing this war there is no reason to confiscate the property of the rich or to do anything in. violation of the spirit of the letter of the con- stitution. Congress’ has ample power to declare war and to provide for car- rying on the war and to issue treasury notes, good for duties on imports and all debts, public and private, and in that way to save interest on bonds. And still the issue of bonds is a just and proper means of financing the war, and in time the liberty bonds will sell at a premium. Of course the war business should be condueted with good common sense push and vigor the same as any other business and it should never be forgotten that patriotism is not a one-sided obliga- tion. It is for the government to be as patriotic as the citizen and to show to every citizen the same devotion and fidelity as the citizen shows to it. The patriotism and -devotion of the government to the citizen is a sub- ject which has been left too long un- sung, and that is the cause. of, the present war in Europe. The duty and the purpose of every state and gov- ernment has been sadly disowned and neglected. . J. E. ROBINSON. June 16th, 1917. TOWNLEY WOULD NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS Why such close union between I.
