When you are thinking about whether or not your job will be in the list of non-useful jobs, put yourself in the place of Provost Marshal Crowder, who must not only get men into the army, but must see that all the man-power of the country is working in things which are useful in helping to win the war,-and then you can figure out just what kind of a job you hold. The first list goes into effect July 1. There will probably be a large number of men hunting for useful jobs. There will be more of them as other lists are made up. Maybe you just happened to get into the job always wanted to work in a machine shop or to you do it, especially after you got married. No one can tell you what you had better do right now, but one thing is sure and that is that you had better think about your job.

(Established 1873) <=> —— YOUR TICKET On the first day of your vacation when you are negotiating with the United States railroad ticket seller for a piece of pasteboard entitling you to ride to lake or mountain or other vacation play- ground you will be asked to pay more than you did last year to go to the same place. The cost per mile will be one cent higher, or at excursion rates, about 20 per cent more thay your 1917 ticket. ‘Don’t jump at the conclusion that this is due to government operation and would not have hap- pened ‘had the roads remained in the hands of private corporations. In the latter case, increased rates would have been necessary or bankruptcy would have followed. Railroad financiers knew that when they turned their roads over to Uncle Sam ‘If the government retains control of the\roads after.the war, rates are sure to fall, possibly to er ‘level than before. : Several: reasons combine: to:produce the higher @ more important are: “ : Increased cost of all raw material; par- “* tieuls igon ore -p ve and. coals rain Bie \ 4 wa 2,000,000, railway “employes, 50. per cent of whom never; got “nore than $900’a year under private opet. ation; .; ea, + “Loweting of rate for transportation of American soldiers to. one cent;a mile, .«.«.

A vacation-spent on a nearby farm costs little in railroad fare and is productive of valuable. results in health and food. The high cost of vacation trip tickets will per- suade us to become better acquainted with folk nearer home, and they’re every bit as interesting. as those living a thousand miles farther. ; Try it'this year and let United States railroad steam haul your weight in war supplies. TAKE A LUOK AT YOUR JOB » You men of draft age who are not in the army because you have a wife and children or a father or mother dependent. upon you, ought to size up} yaur job to see whether or not Marshal Crowder’s new regulation will touch you. You know what the new regulation is. It takes effect July 1 and says that no matter wheth- ‘era man'is married and has dependents or not, he must go into the service if he is either a loafer or is doing work which is not useful in winning the war, and this order names certain jobs as being non-useful, such as running passenger ele- vators, sales clerks in stores, men doing house- work, and some jobs which are regarded as hurt- ful, such as working around gambling houses, pool rooms, bucket shops, race tracks, etc. +, It. is easy enough to look at- your job and say,. “My job is not in the list,” but General Crowder says it is expected that the list of non- useful jobs will be extended from time to time. Suppose that another list is gotten out as soon as they take care of the men in the non-useful jobs-which are already named? Will your job be in the next list? It is not a very long step from running a pas- senger elevator to being a street car conductor. If selling dry goods or groceries in a store is a non-useful job, how would they classify a deputy clerk over in the court house, or a bookkeeper? If you are a bond salesman or an insurance soli- citor and have received deferred classification in the draft, what are the chances that your occu- pation will be named in the next list? _ If you are a chauffeur for a private family, what are the chances that the next list will put your job down as non-useful just as this list names _ the doorman and butler. .

The Nonpartisan league,. evading the corrupt party and therefore not amenable to the pains and penalties of! that law, is pouring out in Minne-. sota the’ money it has.collected from’ farmers ‘of “this and other states. Its objective is the nomin- ‘lation df its candidates at the approaching pri- Maries, and especially of Lindbergh, author of the ‘Detaila: were given in The Journal’s news col- mns yesterday of. this “Hindenburg offensive” lagainst the good name and future security of the Commonwealth. The plan and purpose is to break ‘through the line of loyalty, to-roll back the-allied: defenders of{militant patriotism, to af- flict Minnesota with that same dream of oa trial democracy” which has wrecked Russia.” _ While t! Las citizens of this state aré concentrating e énefg} on helpidg to win the to hold Minnesota up to the.world as a state that refused to renominate a man like Governor Burn- quist, because he has been an aggressively loyal executive. There are enough staunch patriots in Minne- sota, and to spare, to put this Nonpartisan offen- sive to rout. But the reserves must be organized, and the state must be vindicated. This calls for volunteers and quick work. There is no great money a ization back of Burnquist, no army of solciforsworking on fat commissions to gather fees and political support, no huge fund to hire glib’talkérs ard paste fashy bills on the boards. oF AES ‘ The duty of the moment is for every loyal Minnesotan, regardless of political affiliations, to constitute himself'a Burnquist committee of one, and go to work. Some hasty organization is possible. For ex- ample, if the hard working salesmen who travel over the state were to get together on a simple plan for spreading the gospel of sound patriotism everywhere, they could accomplish great things. The nomination of Lindbergh would be more than a disgrace—it would be a great misfortune. His disloyal book alone condemns him. In it he said, for example, on page 25: It has indeed been humiliating to the Ameri- can people to see how the wealth-grabbers, own- ers of the “big press,” actually attempt by scur- rilous editorials and specially prepared articles to drive the people as if they were a lot of cattle to buy bonds, subscribe to the Red Cross, to reg- ister for. conscription, and all the other things. Shall the man who could write that be nom- inated for governor of Minnesota? He has neither explained, repudiated nor apologized for that book. He and his Nonpartisan backers ignore it. They hope to “get by” with the loyal, while gathering behind them the support of the disloyal. The emergency calls for an omnipartisan coun- ter attack to rout this Nonpartisan offensive. The plotters against Minnesota’s good name are bringing inot the republican primary all sorts of supporters—socialists, pro-Germans, I. W. W. plot- ters, demagogues, ‘radicals, visionaries and poli- tical Bolsheviki. It is no time for good loyal democrats, or patriotic men of any party what- soever, to dally with sideshows. Their duty is to get into the fray where the main issue is to be decided, to work for Burnquist and on June 17 to vote in the republican primary for him.—Min- neapolis Journal. : you hold now and have stayed in it just because you didn’t happen to get out.

FOR SUPREME COURT 6 NN H. A. BRONSON ——____y, Age 44 years; born in Michigan; | came to Grand Forks in 1890; grad- uated at the University of North Dakota in 1894; received the de- gree of Master of Arts at such university in 1895; graduated from the law school of Minnesota Uni- | versity in 1901; for 15 years was a | | teacher of Law at the Law School | | of the University of this state | and engaged in the practice of | | law at Grand Forks; is the author | of two law books, known as “Bron- | son’s Recitals in Municipal Bonds” | and “Bronson on Fixtures”; was | Btate Senator in 1913 and 1915; | for several years he has been a | member of the State Board of Bar { Examiners; his is Vice-President | | of the American Bar Association for North Dakota and, as such, he has actively assisted in organizing the lawyers of this State for ser- vice in connection with the Draft Laws of the United States and in assisting the Special Committee for War Service of that Associa- tion at Washington, D. C. | On January 1st, 1917, he was ap- pointed First Assistant Attorney | General by William Langer, Attor- ney General. As Assistant Attor- | ney General, his active work for | law enforcement in this state bas received the recommendations and the endorsement of the N. D. Law Enforcement League. In this office he has handled many important | | legal cases before the Supreme | | Court of this State, and of the Unt- | ted States. pene eT Es ‘ A growing tendeney. to rend poll- tical shirts is apparent “in the noble Valley of the Red.

If, however, one of these strange animals has run amuck and bitten the league's own child ‘at Fargo, Mr. Townley should not forget that his papers for the last two years have more or less openly advocated sicking this varmint on the small-town merchant and the rural newspaper which did not line up with the league. ‘If doctors were always compelled tb taste their own medicine first; they migt{ not so freely prescribe bitter ddses for oth- ers. eee .

The league has much to, ex- j plain and much to apoligize; for .in its conduct during the course .of; this war, but just now, here in North Dakota, there are issues equally as big and vital to be -considered, and they are being lost sight of in the endeavor to:brand the whole league movement with the stigma of disioy- alty. eee The Rt. Rev. Vincent Wehrle, bis- hop of the Bismarck Roman Catholic diocese, conservatively discusses some of these issues in a pamphlet now just off the press. He admits that it may seem strange that a bishop politicians is to brand opponents as {should write on the political situation seditionists, penis sy A charge of sedition does not; make a seditionist.

Not all socialists are seditionists. . It is to-be regretted that-such a large per- centage of them seem to be. The Tribune has frequently and vig- orously: challenged the attitude of President A. C. Townley toward our government and toward this war, The Tribune has very strenuously dis- agreed with Governor Frazier upon the complacency with which he sat through a. certain nameless United States senator's disgusting defense of Germany in St. Paul a yar.ago. The Tribune has never been timid about ex- pressing its views of either. Mr. Town- ley or Mr. Frazier or of any other leaguer who in the .opinion.-of ‘The Tribune transgressed the laws-of} loy- alty or decency. nintayoe We fail to see, however, :that: the league movement can be scotched by a wholesale arraignment of leaguers as disloyalists. Leo Horst, league, or- gnizéF charged with sedition, was promptly cleared by the federal grand jury at Fargo. J, W. Brinton, head of the Consumer's Chain Stores Co., was promptly indicted. There was ques- tionable tast> on the part of the league in using Horst as a campaign speaker while his investigation by the grand jury was pending. Brinton, we are told today, has cancelled all his ‘.|speaking engagements pending his trial which is to come up at Bismarck this month.

He finds that the purpose of the league ‘is to in- troduce in North Dakota socialism, pure and simple Socialism, as advocat- ed by the league, he declares “contrary to the natural law; contrary to Chris- tian teaching; a theory put up by the enemies of Christianity for the very purpose of destroying Christianity.” He points out that “since the Non- partisan league has come into exist- ence, the, practice of criticising; those of other parties has been turneg |into regular class-and-party hatred.,./ You cannot find one single edition of the ing a decision on her appeal to the!

All sections of the list participated in the rise which was, accelerated. by further foreign news. Specialties and. similar issues, notably those controlled by pools, dis- played greater strength. Industrials, shippings and rails were in demand with signs of hurried short coverings, especially in United States steel and Reading. Liberty bonds were steady. ‘Chicago, June 5.—Commission house buying with influential leadership led to. moderate advances today in the corn market.
