(Established 1873) <> JUST LIKE MOTHERS In an eastern city they had just held a meet- ing at which efforts were made to find the “worst” boy ‘in that ‘city that he might be “transplanted” and reformed. They selected what was called the “worst” boy. and here ends that story. On the. next afternoon at a mothers’ club meeting a speaker told about this worst boy hunt and in the discussion which followed the talk veered around to good boys and the “best” boy. (Finally the*speaker asked eachmother present to vote “yes” if: she knew a boy she considered 90 per cent good. .’ Twenty-one,’;votes were cast and 19 voted “yes,” one voted“no,” and one was blank. Later questioning developed the information that two mothers had daughters only in their homes. Now isn’t tHat just like a mother of a boy, to hold him’ at ledst 90 per cent good? Sure.it is! ‘And we are cerfain that if the sons of those moth- ers could have! ‘voted, each and everyone would dave insisted Shey had_100 per cent perfect moth- ers. ae ‘We wouldn't ‘give, two cents for a boy who didn’t think that way. ——~ | drives, anyghing and everything which will help war drives. We cannot sit down and say. that we are through—not until we have won! Not until we have won! Not until we have driven the boche horde back beyond the Rhine and beaten the kaiser into submission and his power lust into oblivion. : millions who are.yet to go will not be able to throw down their guns after a battle and take a prolonged breathing spell. The enemy will not let them do that. Their foe‘and yours will harass our boys day and night, early and late, with shell and gas and bayonet. The boys we send across to France are soldiers, too brave and too well trained to harbor one thought of,protest, even though they are sent over the top again and again. Shall we who stay in safety and ease here at home complain more than they who hourly for days without number face death? Shall we pro- test and beg a “longer breathing spell” between drives to produce money as long as our sons “over there” must stand in constant peril and must daily endure hardships utterly unfathomable to us civilians? Let our drives come when they may! Let them follow each other in quick succession! Let them be money drives or food drives or work our boys and their allies beat back the arch-foe of liberty and justite and human rights. Individuals who cannot subscribe to that doc- trine are not ALL-American; at least a slender thread of their allegiance runs into the throne room at Potsdam. WHO. LOSE? “The British lose.” “The French are defeated.” Both often have been heard. Néither is whol- ly accurate. When the British forces are driven back WE, too, are forced back. i When the French retreat, WE, too, go back with them. It is OUR war. The British and French are fighting’ for. US, just as much as OUR soldiers are fighting for them. With British and French successes rise OUR hopes. With their losses they fall. The whole line, from the channel to the Alps, now is OUR line....There are soldiers of many nationalities in OUR line, British, French, Belgian, Canadian, - Australian,.Portugue frican,. In-] dian and ‘American;, bi they: es l_ there ‘for. one purpose, and the ong=final victory will be the victory of each and all. .. : OUR LITTLE PATRIOTS, © xy Most evergschool child in America is a.mem-| ber of the t -stamp army. -They are trying to. help theixtig, brothers “over there” win the) war by. pro' ithe money with-which the gov- ernmént may Pay guns, food and ammunition’ for v8 and girls.are enrolled as priv- {stamp army when they ‘have fiber of¢tamps and are promoted ‘house to house and 4o. consider 4 : ds a possible customer.

END} .COMES WITH VICTORY From timé’to time we will make note of such war protests ag.come to our attention, not because we believe that’any large number of Americans are in sympathy. with such protestors, but be- cause we think,that these: protests are launched by enemies in our land and by them nourished and fed to American citizens who do not mentally dig to the root of‘their war protests. Among these pro-German and entirely anti- American protests is this: “As soonias we get through with one Liberty loan drive they want money for the Red Crossand war chests, and then they start th if amp campaigns. Why don’t they give 18 a breathing spell in between?” Without a,doubt some hellish Hun soul cooked up that protest,” And this is why: The less money ‘Americans cau be persuaded to lend in bond and stamp campaigns the fewer guns and soldiers we can ‘place’ against German aggressions “over there ;” the less: money we give to Red Cross the more American, British and French soldiers will die on battlefields. y Of course, itis true; Americans are urged from one money producing campaign to another, and there is little time between them. They will come faster and faster right along from now on until the foe is vanquished. Just as soon as we are past this thrift. stamp drive we must begin sav- ing our dollars, for the next Liberty bond cani- paign, and again Red Cross and other win-the- junt upward. They are encour-|, That purpose is ours dag victor, when it. comes as come it must, wil ours.

They are presented without | comment in order that Tribune readers may have every side. of the question to assist them in forming their own. convictions. LOYALTY NOT AN ISSUE? Of course “loyalty is not an issue,” but—— Testimony submitted at the trial of the I. W. W. in Chicago yesterday showed that they planned to make an agreement with the Nonpartisan league leaders, and paralyze industry in North Dakota as an anti-war measure. Of course “loyalty is not an issue,” but—— Governor Frazier allows his name to be co pled as a speaker with a man convicted of. di: loyalty and sentenced for it, and another who was under arrest, but has since been freed. Of course “loyalty is not an issue,” but—— Governor Frazier welcomes to the state of North Dakota the People’s Peace council, and insults the people of Fargo-who wouldn’t let Max: Eastman give vent to his sedition here. Of course “loyalty is not an issue,” but—— + Six leaders of the Nonpartisan league have been convicted on various charges of disloyalty in Minnesota; some eight or ten more have been indicted; and dozens of others have been driven out of towns by irate citizens. Of course “loyalty is not an issue,” but—— The privately owned Townley. organs, edited and controlled by Mr. Townley, who is the sole dictator of Nonpartisan league policies, editorially approved the course of LaFollette. Of course “loyalty is not an issue,” but—— We have a vivid recollection of Mr. Townley’s views on the First Liberty loan issue as expressed at Williston and other towns in this state. Of course “loyalty is not an issue,” but—— The same Townley who chose Frazier as gov- ernor, has picked C. A. Lindbergh as a candidate for governor of Minnesota. That’s but a fraction of the record. Loyalty shouldn’t be an issue, but we can’t escape it in|donald. This friction has bobbed up North Dakota this year. And we are going to vote as we shoot. Pick the Minot ticket and “vote her straight.”—Fargo Forum. Our boys who have gone “over there” and the] Tom Hall, secretary of state, is going to be the cause of a whole lot of split: tickets in the approaching Primaries, The Nonpartisans, ia state convention -at Fargo, endorse Tox Hall for‘reelection: The league le erg. were wise ‘enough to know thi Tom. stood.a mighty good chance being, reelected ‘without their endors ment, -and ‘they. realized that woul look bad, So Mr: Hall will go on thé! ‘ballot at the primaries as a Nonparti- san choice. .Some Nonpartisans who are especially good friends of Attorney General Williat# ‘anger, will not vote, for Hall. “7 tiumber is not be- lieved to be'végy large. On the other hand, a great “who would other- wise’ support: idependent voters’ ticket: all the. way through, will skip one place because*Tom Hall is on the other’ ballot. Tom,'in other’ words, is: going to be:responsible for some double-crossing:: will cause con- siderable ballot spHgting on the’side of the independent: id probably will fail to receive-a ¢ 11 percentage of the Nonpartisan Vote. The strengttt he will draw from the independents is expected to-more than. make“up for any loss he will sustain through Lan- ger’s enmity, and it is quite generally prophesied that when the votes are counted’ he will head the list. Two years ago Tom Hall ran 84,671 to Frazier’s 87,665, and the secretary of state, if the rural press is any criter- ion, has gained rather than lost friends through the attacks made upon him from‘within his own party. e Some astute politicians are wonder- ing why the indeepndents at Minot did not endorse some fairly sure winners on the Nonpartisan. ticket, selecting men who have been, subjected to Jittle criticism, and whose administration has! been at least as good as the aver- age. | The explanation probably lies in the desire of the independents for a complete ticket which would repre- sent as many sections of the state and as many factions as posstble. Many incline to the opinion that the inde- pendents would have made easier in- roads on the league ranks had they endorsed such men as John N. Hagan for labor commissioner; A. ‘S. Olsness for commissioner of insurance; Tom Hall, for secretary of state, and, per- haps, S. J. Andahl for railway com missioner. It would. it is claimed, be measurably easier to: elect these men than.to defeat them. It is possible some of them would not have accepted an independent endorement, but the effect: would have been gained. The league passed up a similar opportunity when it declined to endorse Patrick Norton of Hettinger ‘for reelection to congress. Norton has many good friends in the.

C. Macdonald hasya real fight on. his hands, and that the next state super- intendent of instruction may be a woman. The primaries offer North Dakota women their first opportunity to.exercise in state matters the lim- ited franchise’ ded them by the 15th general assembly.
