"THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER. (Established 1878) <> THE RULE OF THE BEAST, Some have asked how the council of defense’s order banning the discussion of charges of .pre- Germanism and disloyalty is to be enforced. Per- haps Job W. Brinton, general manager of the Townley chain stores, has furnished the answer. When Brinton, immediately after his acquittal in federal court on charges of sedition, walked into The Tribune office, asked for a private inter- view with the publisher and then, while the latter was seated, seized him by the throat and struck him a vicious blow in the eye, rupturing the eye- ball and fracturing his nose, he merely followed the teachings of an insidious propaganda which he and his cohorts have been injecting into the life of this state for two years past. It was a prac- tical demonstration of the rule of the brute; of Prussianism triumphant. It was prophetic of what may be expected by those who refuse to bow their neck before the oppressor’s heel when the domination of Brintonism shall have~ been made absolute. ; None but the cowardliest of curs, the yellowest of hounds, the cheapest of low thugs would resort And his atrocious and unwarranted assault of yes- terday was merely a new incident ini a long series of similar outrages. What can be expected of a movement which selects such men for its leaders?. What can be expected of a state which suffers such leadership? ‘Tis no crime to stir up class against class. Welcome words for Brinton. From class hatred to the rule of the brute is but a step. Brinton, in a despicable assault upon a man for the moment defenseless, unprepared and unsus- pecting, was carrying out his highest ideals.. He was doing a thing over which he and his associ- ates could gloat. He was acting as advance agent for the rule which is to be when the entire state shall have been Brintonized and when the only law will be the brawn of the beast. How long will North Dakota continue to suffer such a condition? Is the turning point'at hand, or are we to go on and on down the path toward which the Brinton type are leading us, until we, shall have arrived at a complete state of anarchy? The rule of the mob! Brinton personified! The ‘mailed fist and the dog whip of the Prus- sians! aayte : Anything short of murder to gain a point! Toward these we are drifting. Is North Dakota content ‘that it should be so, or has it sufficient manhood to rise up and throw off. this cowardly yoke? A Germany: is the madhouse of Europe; Berlin its violent ward and Potsdam palace the house of incurables, 4 FOUR YEARS OF IT “Let us have peace!” So spoke the master militarist of America two and fifty years ago. So say we, men and women of America, after viewing the desolation and destruction of four years of the worst warfare the earth has’ ever known. Let us have peace—JUST AS SOON AS THE BROKEN SWORD OF PRUSSIANISM IS TENDERED IN UNCONDITIONAL SURREN- DER. Protesting war, we are forced to believe in a war which became necessary to regain peace for the world. Respecting peace, we protest against a pseudo-peace which the enemies of mankind may use as a preparation for renewed war. If Might is the only Right, if War is the great- est Good, if a nation’s Kultur is to be foisted upon the world by falsehood and treachery, by rapine _and murder, by the outrage of every superior sense and emotion, then Germany is right. If Might is God and Schrecklichkeit is its. prophet, then Prussianism is justified. Welcome peace and welcome the shackles which shall bind the world! But if these standards are wrong, then Ger- THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Entered at the Postoffice, Bismarck, N. D., as Second Marquette ‘90/0f Prussianism, WE CAN. NOT.

The only peer of democracy is de- mocracy. When Prussianism ftouted its own roy- al bonded word as “a scrap of paper,” it forever abjured all right to enter into another treaty|' with self-respecting peoples. When Prussianism ‘speaks now, no matter how fair the words, neither its friends nor its enemies believe. It does not she be opposed by be a parley between Unfaith on its part and Un- belief on ours? Prussianism’s only absolution is restitution. Its only symbol must be “surrender.” Either surren- der to the forces of the world which it has out- raged or surrender to its subject peoples which jit has oppressed and deceived. i The people of Germany can again rise to the height of credibility in the world by trampling upon the dead body of Autocracy. When the PEOPLE of Germany cry, .“Let us.have peace!” we shall listen. As long as their voice is the voice A crazy man has been found who. thinks he’s the kaiser. Perhaps he is. NEW. ANTHEMS FOR OLD “It is ridiculous,” says the Berlin Lokal An- zeiger, “for Germans to give their noblest expres- sion of patriotism to ‘God Save the King.’ A new national anthem is needed.” It isn’t quite up to regular Hun kultur either.!’ We're looking for some German composer to get up a “The King Save Gott” that'll properly, stir Better get it up in a hurry, too. ‘Most any old. national anthem is going to be plenty for Ger- many, before long.

Let him ride with you. If you’re going near his destination: give him a lift as far.as you go. Maybe it wouldn’t interfere with your plans to go a bit out of the:way and set him down at the.camp, armory, or wherever he’s headed for. If you're driving home in: the evening let a Yank ride with you on the way out, Better still, let two or three hop in for the homeward spin. The patriotic way to do, when you see a soldier or sailor going your direction, is ‘to stop and). ask him if he wants a lift. Make it evident. to him that you will be pleased to have him ride with you. ‘ He’s YOUR soldier, you know.

Starting with April, 1917, when we entered the war and spent $289,893,000 in prepar- ing, the nation’s war bill has mounted month by month. The expenditures for this month are estimated. to ex- ceed $1,670,000,000,which brings the cost of the war to date to $15,633,766,- 158. : * This vast scheme of warfare was the Most important development of the year, not Only to the allies, but to Germany. The Hun has learned to respect’ America as his chief enemy. ; Recognizing the menace to their plans for conquest that lay in’ American preparations, Germany hastily forced a, shameless_peace on chaotic Russia, withdrew her armies from the- eastern precedented violence and barbarous disregard for’ human lives at :the Freneh and British armies on the | western front. The kaiser and his generals recog- nized the fact that: they, were cetaied unl they,,coyld Mecision he- fore! Ce er Seached its fullest’ expression on the. battlefield. | Therefore the word was given to seize {costs and bring France to her knees. Five terrific offensives such as. the [cone years of war had never: witness- ed weer the. result. The first three were successful. to the extent that. the Germans were ‘permitted to xchange countless lives for a few miles of shell holes and ruined: villages. The last two brought utter defeat to, the Hun hordes. « ¢ In the last of the five drives the American troops bore the brunt of the. battl:, and came out of their first great clasK covered with mud and glory. Not only were they chiefly instru- mental in putting the quietus on the iHun~ drive, but they launched a mighty counter offensive, the like of which has not been witnessed ontthe western front for a year, and captur- ed much of the terrain the French had been forced. to relinquish in the May drive. With the Yankees standing like a stone wall before, not a man, woman or child in America doubts that no matter how many. at- tempts. the Germans make for Raris, THEY SHALL NOT PASS, The American soldiers and the Am- erican people are now undergoing their crucial ‘test. Our casualties have fortunately been small—the to- tal was less than 11,000 up to the beginning of the last offensive. They are far smaller than were England's or France’s in. their first year of war. But we must expect them to mount from now on. We must. face them with calm courage and the conviction that they are but the price of -victory. When the Germans have become tir- ed of throwing themselves: recklessly against the allied line, then will come the turning of the tide that will lead to victory. General Foch is waiting only until he is assured that Ameri- ca’s man-power has overcome the German numerical superiority that re- sulted from the defection of Russia. When that hour arrives, and it is very near, he will launch his armies. at the-Germans for the great offensive that will drive them out of France and Belgium. That will be.the crown- jing occurrence of the fifth year of the war. ‘The year. just past has been a sat- isfactory. one from fhe~aiHes’ view- point, even without considering Am- erican -aid. It is likely ‘that it. will be considered by future historians as the turning point of the war. From every: standpoint ‘Germans saw the defeat of her aims—unless Russia's !collapse be considered‘a single ex- }ception. _But Germany's. exploitation of that stricken land will prove’ a boomerang. Eventually the | allies must reconquer Russia, and when they do Germany will pay dearly. - Italy, which in the early part of the year suffered a great and disastrous military collapse, “came back” vigar- ously toward its.close and held the Hun hordes which sought to overrun her plains. France and England nobly upheld the military traditions estab- }lished in the first three years of war. | In the lands of our enemies the \hand-of Hunger joined with the spec- ‘and, together with strikes in\the German war industries and ‘racial and political unrest in Aus- | | i ‘“\trigungarys brought the most| men- ing internal conditions to the cen- tral empires ‘that the war has pro- 27, 1918. ° A PROCLAM ATION ; Inasmuch.as our nation is at | war and is calling into active mili- tary service those best fitted to perform the first and,most impprt- ant duty, and it is left for us who remain at home to see to it that all producing agencies are con- stantly employed in order that our brave soldiers:and, sailors ‘may be supplied with, an. abundance of food, equipment and war materials, and : hy Inasmuch ‘as there is work for all to do, and’ provision for regis- tration “of the unemployed has been made at’ the federal employ- ment offices, the offices. of . the, | commissioner. of agriculture and labor, the North Dakota eouncil of defense and their agencies, and Inasmuch as the North Dakota council of defense has passed a resolution to prevent idling and .to require that all able-bodied persons | between the ages of 18 and 50 years be employed in a usefuP oc- cupation until the termination of the war, and has made it the duty | “of the executive officers of the state to enforce this order, Therefore, as governor.,of the state of North Dakota, I call upon all state, county and. municipal of- ficers ‘to assist all unemployed per- gons to register in employment of- fices. and to: report the ‘names of idlers:.to the- proper authorities, that..there, may be no slackening of | our industtial forces, and that our, | nation ‘may ‘the ‘sooner triumph | over. hér enemies, and her sons | the’'more. speedily. return to their + homes. and: accustomed ‘occupa- | tions. ® | Done at the capitol at.
