(Established 1873) GESP MAKING THE GHOST WALK Every once in so often somebody that has something to do with ships—either Hurley or Piez | or a subordinate—is reported as coming through with a threat to labor, promising “drastic meas- ures” and all sorts of horrible things in the case of some small strike somewhere. ; The latest is brought forth by a strike of 185) caulkers in a Pacific coast shipyard, and “Emer- gency Fleet officials,” unnamed, are quoted on the iron hand business. This by papers all over the country whose editors seem to think that) stirring up labor troubles at home is as good a! way as another of embarrassing the president. What do the words “drastic measures” mean, | elotheless city. boy, in ai body. hives, and all emptied that first second of time. Run? You couldn’t see to run. But, a friendly calf had come close up and its bushy tail looked like a good thing to use on the millions of hot, furry fect that were tripping bus- ily over us, pausing to put in a darning-needle puncture, here and there, mostly here—but we weren’t particular where. We grabbed that tail, and the calf started in to make a record around the orchard. First, a bawling calf going like a Derby winner; then, tail; then, us, also bawling, and sur- rounded by a dense, buzzing halo—no, it was too Jow down on us for a halo. Well, about the fifth time around, we’d recovered sight enough to see a large wash-tub that Aunt Marinda had turned up against the fence to dry. We let the calf have its tail and went under that tub, where, hours after- ward, we were found. No, not by dear little Cousin Solly. He didn’t find us, or want to, for two weeks afterward. Maybe you think there isn’t any moral to this story. Well, there is: When a fellow advises you to go into a hot proposition without any backing, sce what he says when you ask him to back you. Peace, says a German paper, is up to Wilson. So it is—and. to the army. ERM piel eles The kaiser, says the cable, is forming a Slav corps. Next step, a Slave corps. And now Stone of Missouri threatens to make a speech on the Jap-Russian matter! Nuff sed. Let the Japs take whatever they want. | WITH THE EDITORS. | GOOD ADVICE The voluminous discussion on the league and its.merits is taxing our news columns and causing us to eliminate local news and other things that we deem of importance. We want to keep an open press but we must first of all run a newspaper. A local paper is too small to make a propaganda anyway? Hurley actually did go in for an utter- ance of that sort in connection with the late la-| mented Sparrows Point carpenters’ strike, and| had the stage all set for a nice bloody riot in, Baltimore—until the president issued a clear and} definite statement, appealing to labor in a human} vein, and incidentally showing Mr. Hurley just| where he got off. What the anti-administration and pro-Roose- velt, Wadsworth, Chamberlain, and Weeks news-| papers and politicians are doing is waving the red flag in the face of patriotic American labor. And} all in the supposed interests of their various | would-be presidential candidates, who feel they| have to have some kind of a mess to point to in 1920, and‘ who are even willing to have such a mess made for them, to order and especially for the occasion if necessary. It is a beautiful in- stance of a certain brand of political “patRIOT- ism” that is already nauseating to the American people. The president has iterated and reiterated his | sentiments in regard to labor and the winning of the war. The president realizes that if the world is to be made safe for democracy the United States is a mighty good place to begin keeping it safe. What is meant by “drastic measures” is the old and flabby gas-bag bugaboo of labor conscrip- tion in'the interests of profit that Americans do not, never have, and never will stand for. They are trying to make the ghost walk again. And in spite of the fact that the president has taken especial pains to knock that same ghost in the head, time and time again, knowing in his own mind who are shouting for it, and just. where these shouters stand as far as real democracy and | the purposes of this war are concerned. “~All the empty phrases of the little piffling campaign-medicine makers in the country to the contrary notwithstanding, American labor is safe | And what is more, it knows it. | Cabinet crises in both Spain and Portugal!| We certainly smell a Bolo Pasha in those Iberian) woodpiles. STORY ABOUT A BEE Article 5 of the peace treaty signed by the Bolsheviki requires that Russia completely de- mobilize her armies, including the forces formed by the Bolsheviki government. | If we were Trotzky and had to demobilize our army, we certainly should Kerensky, the very next. | day, or sooner. However, any suggestion about | going intq a thing without reliable backing always | reminds us of a Story About a Bee. Once upon a time, we were an innocent, little, city reared boy of 7 years of age spending our vacation down on Uncle Kitchel Pixley’s farm, in Portage county, Ohio, where we had a sweet little cousin of about our own age, named Solomon Johnson. It was Uncle’s habit to let his calves run in the apple orchard, back of the house, wherein he also kept some dozen or so hives of that beauti- ful, busy creature, the honey bee. Early one July morning, little cousin and we stood in that orchard admiring a million of “Early Sweet” apples borne by a glorious tree standing in the midst of the lovely white hives. The innocent calves were peacefully walking amid the hives, picking up the “Early Sweet” windfalls with eager mouths. Gosh! but those apples looked good! But we had to remark upon the ‘juxtaposition of the bees. “Huh!” said Cousin Solly. “bees don’t hate folks. They just get mad at their clothes, which Those apples looked better every minute. “Don’t you see them calves in there bar naked, without the bees’ mindin’ ’em!” went on dear Cousin Solly. “Of. course, if you hadn’t your clothes on, you could go right in and club off all them apples you liked.” We took a glance at Solly, in some doubt, but he looked just as fine and inviting as those apples on their boughs, and those, apples surely were just yelling to be clubbed off. You got your clothes off quick and easy, in those days, and in five seconds we were in that enterprise, without a particle of backing, not even a shirt. este _, We threw just one club. fi e Cousin Solly was ‘right. The honey bee does not like- human clothes. They interfere with the honey bee’s sole aim in life when she sees a naked boy throwing clubs. The first bee put 11 feet of chain-lightning into our sixth vertebrae region, the littl@ honey bee’s home is only 3-4 inch by 1-2 sheet out of it. While these letters are interesting to some, yet we doubt their value and the apprecia- tion by a majority of our readers. Nothing can be settled by continuing the discussion. No league man is going to descrt the league by these articles and if he did it would be of no benefit to anyone, neither are men going to be converted to the league by these letters. It seems that it is tending toward the disturbance of local harmony, that it is not producing good and consequently ought to be discontinued. We are going to ask for cessation of hostilities on both sides. Let us unite to create a better feeling between neighbors and between farmers and businessmen. Let us boost the com- munity as a whole.—The Ryder News. THE UKRAINE PEACE The Germans and Austrians state officially that peace with the Ukraine was signed at 2a.m. on Saturday. No particulars of any kind, except in the very precise mention of the hour, are an- nounced. We hear nothing of the substance or form of the treaty, nor are the names and charac- ter of the signatories given. The representatives of the Ukraine were no doubt the delegates from the Kieff Rada. The question immediately arises whether they were at any time competent to bind the mass of their countrymen and whether, if they were, the Rada still exists.. The Bolshevists as- sert that “by 10 p. m. on Friday nothing remained of the Rada but a sad memory.” But, on the other hand, the Rada may have survived and its dele- gates may have pledged it. In that case we have to see whether the people of the Ukraine will accept its decision. Comrade Kameneff, the Bol- shevist emissary on his way to this country and to France, has declared at Copenhagen that they will not, but then he is not altogether impartial. The success of a separate German peace with the Ukraine manifestly might prove as awkward for Trotsky and Lenine as its failure would be for Kuhlmann and Czernin. The unusually piano tone of the German press comments is rather remark- able. The Vossische Zeitung rejoices that “a young state has placed “itself under the protection of our friendship,” but most of the papers seem to confine themselves to warnings that milk and honey will not flow from the new friend.into the Fatherland for a considerable time to come. That will be 2 sore disappointment in Germany and a sorer still in Austria. With or without knowledge that, the signature of the treaty was. impending, the North-German Gazette of Saturday “rattled the sabre” at the Bolshevists in its most truculent manner. It told them that the resolve of the central powers not to evacuate the western territories of Russia is “firm and unalterable,” and that they will make no further concessions—we did not know that they had made any—about the frontiers of the terri- tories they have “liberated” from her. They are astonished at their own moderation in the “self- determination” they have granted—or rather promised to grant—these provinces, but they will not go farther. The Bolshevists are informed that if an agreement is made with the Ukraine “the development of peace negotiations with M. Trotzky |may be a matter of indifference to us,” and they are reminded that if he forfeits this last oppor- tunity his party and Russia “will have to pay the bill.” The Vorwarts thinks this means that an ultimatum is coming. It would almost seem so. The “tame” socialist organ summons up courage to predict that if the Brest negotiations are wrecked the German people will want to know the reason why. It probably occurs to M. Trotzky that the Russian people might be equally curious. The Bolshevists promised them peace. What will happen if he fails to “deliver the goods?” His position is undeniably diffienlt. and the outside world is as ignorant of it as they are of the state of the Ukraine. Germany’s policy, on the contrary, is clear. She sees the advantece of erecting ° number of weak states, nominally sovereign and: independent, beyond the old Russian porucs. Gec- many would then be able to intrigue in them and to exploit them to her heart’s content. She might play them off against each other or confederate them, as it suited her. In either case they would be her vassals, politically and economically, as no united Russia could be. And from their geograph- ical ‘position they would open to her policy,, her commerce, and her armies and fleets just those avenues to the east, to the middle east and beyond, which she most eagerly desires. The peace with the Ukrain Rada, if it holds, will be far from use- less to her, but its real importance is that it is in- tended to be only the first link in a cahin—London Times. f ‘There were nine}’ Now, Misr March is And faith » Sd 4} MANDAN NEWS. | BEGIN SPRING PLANTING State Industrial School Preparing to Raise War Crop.

The big idea is for all farmers to give one acre of-every quarter put into crop for the work of the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A, and K, C. organizations. The idea of John G.- Maloney, who started the plan here, is'to give half the proceeds to the Red: Cross, and split the remainder “50-50” with the Y. M. ©. A. and the K. C. A quarter farmed by a renter would, give its: acre ‘just the same, owner and renter going “5050” on the contribution to the war work. John G. Maloney, Thomas E. Rock, C. M. McLaughlin and A. F. Janke are ‘backing the acre in every quarter” plan, and as loyal Underwood farmers are learning of the scheme membership lists are rap- idly growing, Underwood -has not copyrighted the idea, and it suggests tts free use by other patriotic com- munities in’ North Dakota. sig, anh ARR AARON ABER Want: Ade: Brag Beanitea: certain’ officers, TO CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY Knights to the Number of 500 or More Will Observe Ad- vent of Order Knights of Columbus of North Da- kota, numbering more than five thou- sand members, will celebrate the fif- tenth anniversary: of their eqming {n- to the state at two big patriotic. meet- ings to de held in Fargo, on.
