JULY 28, 1917 BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE LEAGUE CARRIES WAR INTO CAMP OF JERRY BACO Organizes $100,000 Pcblishing Company to Competo With Grand Forks Herald NONPARTISAN LEADERS ‘SERVING AS OFFICERS Direct competition in its own field for the Grand Forks Herald is pres- aged by the incorporation by the Non- partisan league today of-the “Grand Forks American,,” capitalized for $100,- 000, and officered by such ieague war- horses as John A. Hagen of Deering, who is president of the publishing company; A. G. Sorlje of Grand Forks, secretary-treasurer; Assistant Attor- ney General Harry A. Bronson, Grand Forks; 0. H. Olson, New Rockford, and Nels Grovam, Park River. The capital is to consist of 500 shares of common at $2 and 390 shares of preferred stock at $100. The articles of incorporation naive- ly recite that “To guard against liti- gation by entrenched wealth, the di- rectors may buy the preferred stock of any stockholder by tendering him par value, cumulative dividends, to- ‘gether with a 10 per cent premium, and such stockholder shall cease to have any further interest in the cor- poration.” It is ulso noted that three directors who may be appointed by tne board of five above named shall constitute an executive committee with full powers to act in all things for the company. To the articles are ‘set’ the hand and seal of William, Lemke of Fargo, F. B. Wood of Deering and L. L. Griffith of Minot. The form of organization is similar to that adopted in a dozen “Farmers' ‘Fress” companies organized by the league in various counties for the pub- lishing of country weeklies But He Isn’t Always.

Havre, Mont., July 28.—Usually when a man falls in love with another man’s wife there’s a shooting affray. And again, when a woman gets to liking another woman’s husband bet- ter than her own there's the deuce to pay. But not so here! When Mrs. T: W. Turcotte, wife of a prominent Havre lawyer, felt she loved the husband of Mrs. Henry Jor- dan better than her own mate she didn’t hide the matter. Nor did Mrs. Henry Jordan when she fell in love with Mr. Turcotte. Nor did Mr. Turcotte when he took a liking to Mrs. Jordan. Nor did Mr. Jordan when he became fonder of Mrs. Turcotte than of his) own wife. Their way out of an unusual love tangle was to trade wives and husbands. Mrs. Jordan agreed to swap her husband to Mrs. Tur- cotte in exchange for Ne Tur- cotte. The husbands were willing enough to be traded. in fact they were well along on a plan to trade wives with each other. instead of any. killings and un- written law defenses, or suits. for alienation of affection, there’ evolved two unique matrimonial trades. The Jordans and Turcottes agreed to get divorces. Divorce decrees were granted them at Boulder Hot Springs, June 29. Then the former Mrs, Jordan be- came the new Mrs. Turcotte, au@ the former Mrs. Turcotte became the new. Mrs. Jordan. The two couples stood up together at the ceremony and the friendliest relations bteween them. Now they are living again as neighbors in all-good fellowship. Before the divorces the Jordans andj Turcottes were next door neighbors. It was then that the husbands and their wivés concluded they were wrongly mated and decided to back out of their matrimonial alliances and start anew. Both couples had caildren, each a boy and girl. After the matrimonial swap one couple tock the two boys, and the other took the two girls. This One of the best and most stirring patriotic addresses heard in Bismarck in many years was delivered to an Orpheum, .theater audienea Jast- eve- ning by ©. L. Young, one of Bis- marck’s “Four-Minute Men.” In part, Mr. Young said: “It has been common to ask what the world war is all about. An early statement of its purposes would have been difficult, but combatant peoples | have come to realize its meaning, anc have grown into a consciousness of its great purposes. At the outset, we, as a people, did not see in it any aim which could justify our participa- tion. Yet, by reason of our commer- cial relations it touched us on every side. Though our land is a melting | pot of the nations, our traditions and ideals are essentially Anglo: n, and we have interpreted events in the light of such traditions and ideals. We | early felt the outrages and thrusts of autocracy upon our commerce. It smote and raped helpless nations; struck at the shipping of neutral wantonly took the lives of non-com- batants; engaged in practic lessness, which have bet ounten- anced by civilized nations for 800 years; heeded no promises, treaties or laws, refused to define its purposes, and professed no m9 ex! might. Though our leaders used their utmost endeavors to avert our en- | trance, these conditions and practices ntade plain that the war, though start- led as a clash of the powers in the | Balkans, had become a mighty conflict | between two ideals, and that to retain | our eIfrespect and our title as a 'Christian nation and the first of the than ever before.

Not hecause we hate our enemies, for we bear them no hatred; not for con- quest, nor for glory; but iby tradition and in principle we are a democracy. We believe in the integrity of the in- dividual and ‘in his rights and sover- cignty.. For a thousand years the An glo-Saxon has fought against tyranny. Out of travail we have established the principle , that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. You and I take pride in our right of suffrage. We have a voice in making law, defining policy governing ourselv: The author- ity of our administrators is what we make it, not what they will. We are vouchsafed liberty to do as we wish so long as we do not infringe upon the rights, liberties and privileges of our fellows. The checks and restraints which save us from license are self- imposed and maké what we call the Jaw of the land. This of democracy. What wi our- selves we would ure for all, pep- ples. We believe the day of vassal- age should pass: “’ That’ the’ ijrperial- ist, the dictator, is an outlaw and a menace to civilization, and that no man may rightfully impose his will upon another. To Develop Ideals. “By the same token each nation should be secure in its sovereignty and its right to develop according to its own ideals. Vassal nations are no more, justified than vassal men. A dictator state is as much an outlaw as a dictator individual. Ravishing a nation is a crime in kind with rav- ishing a human being. World peace cannot be secure until an internation- al unity or dominion of all nations is established through the consent and by the voice of the individual nations comprising it in which the integrity of each is guaranteed by all. “Why, then, do we iight? fend our ideals and national e: ence and to maintain our national self respect.
