(Bstablished 1873) E> SOME LEFT-HANDED LOYALTY LEAGUERS Among the leading Arizona citizens indicted by a federal grand jury were the leader of the Bisbee Loyalty league and an organizer of the same league. What these self-constituted loyalists were in- dicted for was conspiracy to deprive American citizens of their constitutional rights. It is charged they helped bankers,:business men and mine managers and politicians to forcibly deport from Bisbee: about 1,200 citizens, who happened to.be union miners. . At the time this outrage happened the story went out all over the country that the deported men were I. W. W.’s. It subsequently developed that they were nothing of the kind, but that on the contrary some of them were owners of Lib- erty bonds as well as owners of their homes. - Loyalty’ leagues are all right if, their. loyalty is ‘to the: United States government, the American constitution and the rights of man. But when they are used as'a thin disguise under which gross outrages on liberty. are perpetrated—well, that’s something else again. 3 - "It.is a wise ‘precaution to be dead sure the bogses: of so-called loyalty leagues are loyal to the American constitution, to law and to justice. GO TO IT, MR. McADOO the railroad administration has approved an ex- penditure of $937,961,318 for this year. It is pointed out that this is.three times as much as has been spent for like purposes in any of the three past years. Sure it is! During, those ‘three past years the roads. were run on a policy of “show a profit, and) service to. the public. be*damned,” to para- ge the statement of'a famous railroad man. Also “What the H—— do we care for efficiency ?” And the result was that they were in rotten shape when Uncle Sam took ’em over. That’s why he took ’em over. Woodrow Wilson realized that in this war it is exactly service and effiency we have to have, not profits at all. The private ownership proposition as applied to such a patent public necessity as the railroads simply wouldn’t do in a crisis, For private ownership can never spell anything much different from profit making, and profit making in war time degenerates into profiteering—which is absolutely against public interest. é Go.to it, Mr. McAdoo! America understands this business. All that America is looking for from you today is efficient facilities for trans- porting materials where they are needed—from mine to mill, and from mill to dock, to be sent over the sea to lick the kaiser! All that the coun- try demands is that the money be spent for the purposes you have named. And their minds are fairly easy on that point, for they know that, under our mew war system, it can’t go into excess dividends to make two war millionaires sprout where one sprouted before. AS KIPLING SAID They’re much alike under their skins, whether these skins be sheathed in dainty satins and silks or in coarse muslins and woolens; whether the skins be black, red, yellow, brown or white; wheth- er they be laved in porphyry baths and perfumed with the precious essence of fresh crushed flow- ers, or skins whose occasional bath is an accident rather than an incident. We are thinking of the Lusk case. Miss Lusk, an educated woman of at least cultivated refine- ment, tells her love story, and it is the same tale that a scullery maid or a Bowery strumpet or a Fiji island belle might tell of her amours. Pas- sion is a great leveler. In the palace or the hovel it may, through its holy fire, make mundane things immortal, or it may, by its lewd lascivious- ness debase the most spirituelle and degrade the noblest. There is a lesson in the Lusk case, just as there has been a lesson in all similar crimes her- alded by press agencies from the Thaw trial down to date. The only danger is that young people in reading may miss the moral and find only mud. Love does not denote license; license cannot beget love. The grand passion lest it be clean is but a:grand debauch, which sooner or later will land To keep the railroads “up to full efficiency” | . its devoteés in the gutter. There is nothing beau- tiful in an illicit attachment; there is nothing romantic. All too soon the fumes of intoxication pass away to leave the bacchanalians with nought sometimes, the end is, not perhaps more serious, but more dramatic—and then we have a Lusk case. OUR NEW BAND All honor to our new Bismarck band, whose patriotism and civic pride could not be dampened by Saturday’s snow and sleet, but who trudged manfully through the drizzle to and from the Soo station to give the select service soldiers from North and South Soo points a proper greeting and escort. Bismarck has,a right to be proud of these bandsmen and of the spirit which brought them out on this occasion and of the fine purpose which lies back of their organization. Bismarck needs a good band, and it should be able to sup- port a good one. For some reason the financial support required never has been forthcoming, but this new organization should have at least the unswerving moral support of the Capital City. Credit is due, too, to the loyal remnant of the Bismarck home guard which had enough pride in its city and love for its country to turn out and give these boys, who may be called upon to lay down their lives for us, some semblance of a prop- er military guard of honor. io Anyhow Borglum finally got up in the air. Instead of flying up he was tossed. With T. R. anything big we do now would be all right if we had only done it years ago. Chairman Hays has moved his G. O. P. organ to Washington. First step toward Hoosierizing America. The next time congress tries its hand on a war profits? The Burleson-Roosevelt battle is too tame to interest us. It reminds’ us of a wrestling match between a pair of professionals. The Bulgarian minister of finance says the country owes so much he doesn’t know where it will get the money to pay the interest after the war. He’s a smart cuss. He. knows he won’t get any indemnity... ‘ ee ; i HA A Still pulling that oldest_son:stuff in America. Sénator Hitchcock becomes-chairman of the mili- tary ‘committee because he’s the oldest democratic gon-of-a-gun in ponit of ‘service on the commit- tee. Punk work. They're trying to prove that Miss Lusk, on trial for killing that. Wisconsin horse-doctor’s wife, had: “advanced: marital. theories.” Shooting up your affinity’s: family may be called not only an advanced but a hot theory. torte f! | WITH Tue EDITORS | THAT NAME AGAIN A neighboring farmer sends up a. clipping from an Iowa paper that is a gem in its presen- tation of know-nothingism. The article is a warn- ing to the Iowa farmers against the Nonpartisan headway in that state. It goes on to say Town- ley has become a millionaire, and that already the farmers have paid dues aggregating $3,000,000, and that a special session of the legislature was called to appropriate new funds “to.reimburse the money chests of.the league.” Incidentally, it says, “Bismarck is an appropriate name for the capital of this state.’ (Respectfully referred to The Bis- marck Tribune.) This oracle proceeds to predict the league will again carry North Dakota, and that it has captured Minnesota. Its solemn warn- ing to the Iowans would go to show it has, presen- timent Iowa may turn to the league. There is but two conclusions to arrive at in what actuated the writer; he is either an ignoramus of the super- lative degree, or owned body and breeches by some mortgagee who furnishes him with inspira- tion. -In either event he is a pitiable object.—Par- shall (N. D.) Leader. ; REAL LOYALTY It is certainly gratifying to the people of the northwest to learn that the Ninth federal reserve district, comprising the states of Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Montana and part of Wis- consin, was the first district to report an oversub- soription to the Liberty loan. Not only that but that they had made the best showing and the greatest oversubscription of any of the districts. Now comes the further report that the northern division of the Red Cross, comprising this same district, leads the United States in war work efficiency.’ This.division is 50 per cent higher than any other division in per capita value of war relief material produced. This proves, if it proves anything, that the people of the north- west are loyal, patriotic and standing behind the government in this war. No doubt these reports will open the eyes of these narrow minded men of the eastern states who slandered the state of North Dakota last summer with their charges that North Dakota people refused to support the Red Cross work and were otherwise unpatriotic. We might have disloyalists among us but as a whole we are as staunch Americans as can be found any- where in these United States—Park River Her- ald. : BAS. but bitter memories and an unpleasant taste.

Rails extended their advances in the first hour, in the stock exchange today, Canadian Pacific regaining the greater part.of jts loss, but the whole list fell back ,violently later on a sweeping seling mpvement. Before midday losses in Sumatra tobacco, Bethlehem steel, Baldwin locomotive, General Electric, Industrial alchohol, Marine preferred and Colorado fuel ran from 3 to 9 points. U. S. Steel was unloaded in exceptionally large values down to 2 %, an extreme re- versal of 2 % points. New low records were made by Liberty 4%4’s on the further decline from 97.30 to 97.22. and the second 4’s at 94.52. to 94.40. The 3%’s sold at 99.60 to 99.98 and the first 4’s at 94.54 to 94.64. ‘Substantial rallies were made on the general rebound of the noon hour, mingr rails like New Haven and St. Paul _ preferreil leading the rise.

CORN RALLIES, Chicago, Ill, May 28.—Severe drops in ‘temperature brought about condi- tions. today in the value of corn. The sudden change of weather conditions was generally beleved to be adverse to crop progress. -On:the advance in prices, however, selling increased, ow- ing partly to official denial of reports. that the government had placed large contracts for alcohol. Opening quo- tations, which ranged from % to 1%4 cent -higher, with June 137 and July 138% to 138%, :;were ‘followed by a moderate reaction’ Oats hardened ag, a result of the corn strength. ‘Shorts were the chief buyers.

D., May 28.—Ofti- cers, elected by the North Dakota grand chapter of the P. E. 0. sister- hood at its annual meeting here were: President, Mrs. Bertha Love, Mandan; first vice president, Mrs. Anna P. Eaton, Fargo; second vice president, Mrs. H. E. Simpson, Grand Forks; Clarke Budlong, Bismarck; treasurer, Mrs. Edna Near, Beach; organizer. Mrs. Lillian Lillibrigde, Dickinson, and secretary, Mrs. Adel T. Peck, Minot. Mrs. Minnie Clarke Budlong of Bis- marck, a member of, the Woman’s Committee, council of National De- fense, North Dakota division, .gave a forceful talk on “P. E. O,,.and the War.” Mrs, Budlong’s talk was one of the finest given during the conven- tion, and she gave her. hearers much worth while information;and many practical ideas. The various,points on the program of the coupeil of defense —those of education,. child. welfare, Red Cross. etc.—were outlined, and phases of them that could be applied especially to P. E. 0. workers were emphasized. Mrs.’ Budlong urged the chapters to devote their efforts to cer-" tain of these activities. The P. E. O. Sisterhood, has since its organization lent its support to the education of young women, providing scholarships for this purpose, and it is likely that the chapters will continue in this line of activity, which has now taken on a war time aspect.
