The Tribune would recommend to the executive committee of the North Dakota Council of De- fense, in session today, a close analysis of Judge Amidon’s address in sentencing Rev. John Fon- tana of New Salem. It seems apparent from At- torney General William Langer’s letter to a Ger- man parochial school board in Cass county that he either has not read Judge Amidon’s masterly atraignment or that he takes open issue with the jurist’s thoroughly American stand in oppositon to “perpetuating foreignness.” Mr. Langer has given the German parochial school at Amenia permission to perpetuate “for- eignness” in the name of “religious liberty.” Mr. Langer was born in America and educated here and he owes everything that he has teday to the public schools and ‘the universities of the adopted land of his father. It is not necesary to insure religious liberty that American children born in an American commun- ity be taught to worship their God in an alien tongue. There is no more reason why American- born ‘boys and girls in North Dakota should re- ceive their religious instruction in German than there is for teaching them to pray in Afghanisti. BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE CLOWN PRINCE NOW LEADS HIS TROOPS WHAT THEY DID. We have heard much about Red Cross knitting and Red Cross knitters. It seemed that most every patriotic girl and woman in the land was knitting. And we absorbed the idea ‘that the total of the knitting bee would be something to. brag about. It is! Official Red Cross reports says that there are now ready for distribution to American troops 1,600,000 sweaters, 134,000 mufflers, 384 wrist- lets, 228,000 helmets, 1,328,000 pairs of socks, a total of 2,574,000 articles. And winter is coming on. é Isn’t it a g-r-and an’ ge-lorious feelin’ we have when we Salute this fine army of knitters over here for the boys over there! All the bang wasn’t out of Byng. . 4 BLESSED ARE THE BALD. No longer shall genius, singers of sonnets, writ- ers of roundelays, pursuers of perpetual motion with weird contrivance and invention, exclusively enjoy the distinction of luxurious hirsute adorn-' ment. Like the Redskin of plain and frontier, men on the daily business war path will soon be seen with braids down their tax-burdened 'backs—if a cer- tain Barbers Supply Dealers’ Holdup Convention in Chicago wins its way. Haircut, one dollar; shave, fifty cents—that is their platform. : Before undertaking a shampoo or massage, these profiteers of the shears will no doubt ere long ask three days’ notice in order to carefully investigate.the patron’s finances and credit. ‘ The patriot who loafs when the foe is losing doesn’t deserve to win. START A STYLE. ''* You may have no skeleton in your closet, but if you’re a man, we’ll wager that you have a coat and vest or several hanging in there. And they’ve been there ever since you wore out the trousers and you shelved them because fashion has de- creed that trousers, coat and vest be of the same cloth. : : Now, however, the wool division of the war industries board wants us to stretch wool as far as it will go. We are not to waste any. Wool, like food and bullets, will win the war. : Wear that vest and coat, not, of course, trouser- less, but with any trousers of any color or pattern. In the days of our forefathers, grandpa wore a These, boys and girls must grow American souls in Aheir American-born bodies. .” The North Dakota Council of Defense was cre- ated to inculcate patriotism, to repress with a firm hand anything that savored ‘of disloyalty. Stim- ulating thorough Americanization is the most im- portant service which could be expected from such a ‘body in-a state so populated as North Dakota: is. The council, in an effort to emulate the really good work performed by similar bodies in many other states, did last spring authorize its publicity department to state that the teaching of German in North Dakota schools would not be counten- anced. An official statement to this effect was carried in the council’s plate service, and it was copied and credited to the council in the official bulletin of the department of education. Then, at a time when it appeared that this order might cost the Nonpartisan league some German votes, Mr. Langer writes a letter countermanding the former order of the council, and, in an effort to squirm out, he places the blame for this one really Hriotie pronunciamento of the state council of de- fénse upon Mrs. Clayton, a bookkeeper in the em- ploy of the board. : If Mrs. Clayton was responsible for this order, a fact which we very seriously doubt, then thank God that one employe of the council of defense had sufficient patriotism and loyalty and courage and lack of political self interest to take.a firm stand. against the perpetuation of foreignness in North Dakota. The council says we must not freely criticise German propagandists or pro-Germanness. A year ago, when the I. W. W. was plotting the ruin of North Dakota with money which the kaiser supplied, Governor Frazier said we must not in- terfere with the I. W. W. It may next be made a crime in North Dakota to speak disrespectfully of the kaiser. GROW AN AMERICAN SOUL! Governor Frazier, read Judge Amidon’s address to Rev. John Fontana, a German preacher who preached German, prayed German, thought Ger- man and read his scriptures from a German bible presented to his church by the kaiser. Remember, you men elevated to power by the temporary majority of today, that some percent- age of those 25,000 brave boys who have gone to France to fight for us will return some day, and when they do they will bring you to the bar of terrible judgment which will know no mercy for those. who in our own country in their absence have aided in the perpetuation of foreignness. : Pershing’s Patriots need your dollars; send ’em across via the next Liberty Loan. ' Verboten will be an often used word at the peace conference, and it will be used against German militarism, greed and rulers. Because the shirking senate fears the vote ‘more than the voice of the people it hopes to put coat until it wore out, and usually it outlasted segeral pairs ‘of trousers of different colors. Call out the reserves—the extra, surplus coats and vests in your trunk and attic or closet. Re- cruit a pair. of trousers—any color—and march on to victory. i é If allied armies moved as slow as Congress we'd be a million miles from Berlin. GET THE AIR. Proper ventilating of a workroom or an office means drawing out the hot stale, second-hand air| replacing it with fresh cool air from out of doors. When the room to be ventilated is small and used only by a few people-this can be done easily enough by opening a window’ at top and bottom. This permits the hot air that rises to go out at the top and then, of course, cool air from outside rushes in to take its place. . When the room is large and used’ by many peo- ple, however, it is impossible to get in‘enough fresh air in this manner without creating drafts that make it very uncomfortable for those obliged to work near the windows. In such cases it becomes Necessary to resort to artificial means of forcing out the stale air and drawing in the fresh. This is best accomplished by-means of fans and. ducts. ; Even this, however, will not supply good venti- lation for a workroom that is overcrowded. When people are crowded too closely together in a room it becomes impossible to supply them with enough the room. ‘ Many state laws require at least 400 cubic feet for every worker or a space of eight feet high and seven feet square. This should be the rule in all factories. tae es Plenty of air does not always mean good venti- lation. In addition to the amount of air filled space the air must be kept in motion. This-can be ac- complished by means of inlets and outlets placed in different parts of the room. Our soldiers work AND fight! Buy W. S. S. with the difference between a new suit and a new pair of trousers. The Germans seem to have “caught” the Mos- lem fever of looking toward the east. Southern farmers plowing for next year’s crops keep the nation’s food wheel turning. We can be either slackers or backers—-slacking work or backing Yanks! Be a Backer!
