C. T. Every traveling salesman in Bis- marck, whether a member of the coun- cil or not, is invited to participate in the outing. = Salesmen who have automobiles are uested to report at Finney's cor- ne¥ at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. A demand for every available car is an- ticipated. “Dad” Leonard is in charge of preparations for the big feed which will be one of the important features of the day, which otherwise will be made memorable hy games and races, tugs of war, indoor and outdoor base- ball and other sports. Many Enjoy Dress Parade and Fine Concert at Fort ‘Last evening’s beautiful weather brought out scores of Bismarck folk and visitors from the Slope for the dress parade and band concert at Ft. Lincoln. The Second regimental band played for dress parade and retreat The boys of the Second ‘battalion made an excellent showing, and the ceremony of lowering the colors at sundown was made very impressive by the band's playing of the national anthem as the troops stood at atten- tion and the spectators looked on with bared heads. Following retreat, the Second regi- ment band treated the visitors to an hour’s concert in front of Major ‘Wright's residence. Two violin selec- tions by little Roberta Besi, accom- panied by her sister, Marjory, added to the pleasure of the recital, which was the best the military band has given since its arrival here. EXTRA SESSION NOT PLANNED SAYS. FRAZIER frm Dake os ““‘Aithough the crop outlook is much better in the state,” Mr. Crites said, “some farmers will They must be aided financially. The plan is to have the state issue bonds and loan sufficient money to the farm- ers to permit them to pay the debts and ibe tided over until next year. “Farmers who have no crops must be aided during the winter, and Gov- ernor Frazier is in sympathy with the movement.” DENIES REPORT. Governor Lynn J. Frazier, in a state- ment today denied reports from St. Paul that he would call an extra ses- sion of the legislature to help the financial condition of the farmers of the state on account of poor crops this year, as stated by J. G. Crites, general manager of the Equity Co- operative exchange. “The state has no authority to is- sue bonds,” the governor said, “and I have absolutely no intention of call- ing a special session of the legisla- dure. “This is a problem that will have to be financed in some other manner. It will either have to be taken up by the banks or by the federal govern- ment, as the state has absolutely no authority to do anything of this kind.” DRAFT RIOTS FATAL 10.

They have followed trails over the country that would have been impossible for white men to follow. In some in- stances they have brought in prison- ers single handed. In one instance of this kind, one old Indian came upon a party of three women, but heard one speak in a coarse voice. The rifle poked into the bonneted one’s ~ribs caused the ‘bonnet to fly off and dis- closed a bald head. The objector, a man, was marched to town. As there was no place to imprison him the Indian tied him with a chain and “stood guard until relieved to pursue his hunt. ‘United States District Attorney Mc- Ginnis announced this afternoon that men arrested on charges of resisting the draft in connection with the Okla- homa uprising, will be tried for trea- Son and that the deat penaity will be asked by the government. District Attorney McGinnis has sent two deputy attorneys to the affected dis- trict to gather information. !

(Secretary of the International Child Welfare League of America.) ‘New York, ‘Aug. 6.—The killing of Jack De Saulles by his wife was to be expected; you can't decree that motherhood and wifehood shall be the one dominating thing of import- ance in a woman's life, then take that away from her, and not expect some kind of an explosion. A woman's whole life is her love-life. Her personal relation- ship as a wife and mother, society has decreed and woman has «c- cepted as the central dominating influence in her life. When her faith in her husband is destroyed and she is shocked into a realization that her love dream has crashed into nothing- ness; when in addition to that the child that she has borne is kept away from her by the husband who has proved unfaithful; it is no wonder that the mind of the woman becomes temporarily un- balanced and that a tragedy such as this shooting occurs. The wife who obtains a divorce from an unfaithful husband ougnt to have the custody of her child or chil- dren. Any other arrangement is only an added cruelty. I do not say for a moment that the father should not be permitted to see the child. Many fathers who have been unfaithful’ to the women they married love their children as much as ever. ‘But the mother is the proper pro- tector for her child. Society has exalted motherhood and declared that it is the supreme duty of women to be mothers. Then let “Shooting of Jack De : Saulles Just Have Been Expected”’ What Might society take’ care it carries out its duty to the mother. This girl—for she is little more than a girl, beautiful, cultured, refin- ed—was wooed and won by De Saul- les, who pursued her to Paris to press his suit. He is reported to have said of her that he thought her the most beautiful woman in the world. Idealized in this way, she undoubt- edly believed that she would always hold the affections of her husband. But a few years shattered her dream. She was compelled to sue for divorce because another woman had entered her husband’s life. With nothing left of her love-life except her boy, she found that she would not even have him. The court decreed that the erring father was to have the child part of the year. The young mother, torn with an- guish at not being able to have her child with her, with her love-life shat- tered, simply became temporarily un- balanced. The tragedy was the re- sult. The lesson is that man-made institutions, and man-controlled courts, ought not to try to take children away from their mothers. Children were made principally for mothers, just as mothers were made for children. Something will break down when men try to destroy this relation. Please do not understand me to say that any woman is justified in taking a revolver and shooting the person who may happen to stand between herself and her child, but a thing of that kind is quite likely to happen if the provocation is sufficiently intense. 1 have the deepest sympathy for Mrs. De Saulles. URGES PRISON LABOR ON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS In a magazine article published un- der his name, S. M. Williams, general sales manager of the Garford Motor Truck company, makes a strong plea for the use of prison labor, under Proper conditions, in the construction and maintenance of public highways. He urges this step, he says, not sim- ply because of the economic benefits to be derived from the labor i also because its value in phy: normal reform. His article, in part, follows: “The public generally has been op- |posed to the employment of prison labor—often because of unwarranted prejudices. The same feeling has caused condemnation of the exposure of prisoners on the public roads. Un- der the armed guard system, using the stripes, ball and chain, such a feeling Picked Up on Automobile Row was justifiable. Under the honor sys tem, the men are inconspicuous in their gray or khaki uniforms, working like free men, without guards. “Organized labor has at times op- posed employment of prison labor up- on public highways and has infiuenced the law-makers so that they were blind to benefits derived therefrom, but keen to the grievances of free labor. “Road work benefits the working class in common with all others. In- directly, the betterment of roads must help everybody, in decreased cost for transportation of food and commercial products and increased opportunities. for social intercourse. “Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, says: ‘The least possible competition of pri- soners, as against free labor, would ensue in the building of roads, which would not only be beneficial to the pri- soners. but to some extent taxpayer.” “The physical cure of t jshould precede the moral c sically the effect of road wor prisoners has been remark2 ificial, as results from all fusing the ‘honor system’ sho | “After one or two month: work in the open air with j healthy meals, sbrown and hary i work and pref form of labor. | | “Health regained, the moral cure is} | possible by means of the ‘honor { tem.” work | of hard| good, | ing the ng it to any other “That the men make good is also proven by the number who are after- wards employed upon similar work, and a marked decrease in the return of prisoners to penitentia Here Mr. Williams quotes favorable reports on the honor system in road work from the following states: Ore- gon, Colorado, New York, Washington, Arizona, Montana, Minnesota, New Jersey, Wyoming, Kansas and Ohio. “The United States gov Mr. Williams continued, building throughout the country demonstration roads, knowing that these roads will be followed with permanent road im- provement, as soon as the communi- ties realize the advantages of good roads and the benefits to be gained therefrom.

Write G. M. LANGUM, Pres. BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA THE GERMAN LANGUAGE PRESS. (Chicago Tribune) It is said to be the intention of the | Bovernment to find some method of dealing firmly with the German lang- uage press. If the rights of free speech and of opinion be invaded in this particular, the German language | Press will be obliged to reflect that the situation was created by its own lack of consideration, by its own lack of wisdom and of restraint. A great deal of tolerance has been | accorded many newspapers printed in the German language, and the dam- age they may be able to do if they im- pose upon this tolerance can be fore- seen by any one. In our mixed soci- ety, incentives to disorder, grumbling, “|whining and rebellion must be dis- couraged. They cannot be tolerated. If the German language press has lost all sense of proportion and fitness, it may have to be dealt with in a fash- ion which ordinarily would disagree with American ideas of liberty. Much as many sincere and enthus!- stic German sympathizers may dis- like the situation, the United States is not at war against tho entente pow- ers of Europe, is not encouraged by stories of their failures and of the im- possibility of success in the cause which we have made our own. The United States is striving for a national morale, and everything which obstructs this effort is a danger to ‘American success. The incongruity ed of trying to create national dismay when national resolution is needed! cannot be hidden under the cover of journalistic freedom to print the news. An impartial handling of news can easily be distinguished from pro- paganda. The purpose of the. offen- sive papers in the German language press is too conspicuous. It cannot be hidden. It protrudes defiantly. It is not shrewdly conceived or aptly ex- cout: It is as bald a8 a mountain ‘op. : It is not only the German language press which, in part, is offensive. There is German propaganda in ‘Eng- lish. The activities of George S. Viereck are in point. These things are abuses of citizenship, of hospital- ity ,tolerance, and good nature. ‘We do not ask that any of the er- rors or defects of our allies be gloss- ed over. We need to have our eyes open to our own and our allies’ errors. But when this reasonable process be- comes distorted into a glorification of our enemies and contemptuous criti- cism of our friends, when it takes the shape of rejoicing that our enemies cannot win, when it implies that the United States joins a lost cause and will be defeated in its efforts, then it becomes reptilian. There will be some heated tempers in the easy-going United States with- in a short time. Thus far we have few wounds, and they have not hurt badly. _ When the nation ‘begins to ache it will cease to be amiable. What the Organizations Might Have Said to the Enemy (New York Times.) “The attitude of the National Secur- ity league to the argument that many of the German-American organizations already have declared their allegiance is that it would do no harm to repeat their declarations.” Kindly allow me to suggest that it might do an immense service if the many German-American organizations were to set aside all babbling about the crisis being “painful” and “vital” (what does Henry Weissmann mean by “vital” in his letter to Mr. S. Stan- wood Menken?) It would clear the atmosphere for the xaiser and his Junkers admirably, incidentally for themselves and for the German peo- ple, if the German-American organiza- tions were to issue such a statement, for example, as follows: We, ‘the United German-American organizations of America, bid defiance by: word of mouth and with force of arms, to you, Kaiser Wilhelm, and to your pride-laden advisers, asthe ene- mies of mankind. ‘We shall endeavor with all our strength, {i need he, to strip from you the last rag of out- ward digniiy, to bring you and yours to full realization of the simple truth that your “divine rights” are the mockery of pampered brains. We shall with all our strength, if need be, en- deavor to drag you from the high place to which you were accidentally born, through generation as lacking in “divinity” (or only as divmely) as the humblest citizen in Germany or America. We shall so drag you from your high place because vou are an unspeakably foul criminal in the eyes A GERMAN-AMERIGAN BEPLY| of man and God, whose love for “his people” became as nothing when his self-love was consulted; who causcd to be carefully nurtured a sentiment among “his people” that was to be used for his glorification as emperor —“his people,” who are our people more than in name, whose blood on countless battlefields calls aloud for our vengeance Again we, the United German-Amer- ican organizations of America, would say to those of our blood who still live, “A greater than any of us pro- claimed, “Ye must be either for Me or against Me,’ and ‘families shal! be divided in My name’.” ‘We make war on anti-Christ mili- tarism, on the system of military edu- cation from which many of us of Ger- man blood fled. You remained, and are today its creatures and directly the creatures of the ambitious few who lead you, like cattle, to the slaughter. Unwillingly enough at the beginning, while you were still sane, you entered into the struggle that was so palpably “ueberfluessig.” Today, obsessed by the blindness of your self-seeking masters, you make the infamy of those of “hoeheren Stand” your own. Righteousness and human- ity are arrayed against your masiers and you because of your slavish obe- dience to your leaders’ commands. And now, under that egotistic leader- ship, you threaten the nation of our adoption which gave us shelter—this great democracy which for nearly a esntury and a half has been a land of refuge fur oppressed people of al! the world. Your masters, you, threat- en blindly, with force, what .we have sworn to defend. They and you will learn that the world is to be safe from your mad monarchy. ‘The German-American organizations who refuse to openly, distinctly, un- equivocally assail the Geriman xaiser and junkerdom, now that we are at war with this world menace, should be classified as either dangerous strai- dlers or the sort who represent what Goethe indicated when he wrote, “Mit | ; : With the Editors der Dummheit kaempfen die Goetter selbst vergebens.” - " , O.
