(Katablished 1878) zs WHAT IT MEANS The people of the United States now insist that the fight go on until Germany, her rulers, people and armies surrender unconditionally. This state of determination was reached after it became clear to us that the HUNS will not consider any other | termination of the war as a German defeat—final | and decisive. Naar | We do not want to begin preparing for another war immediately after the peace conference, and that we must do if the HUNS are not beaten into unconditional surrender. i We do not want to sit at the peace table and! trade colonies or privileges to the HUNS for Bel- gium’s freedom. Serbia’s, Rumania’s, France’s, | Italy’s, Russia’s, Montenegro’s. We do not want to talk THEN about the re- storation of lands devastated by the HUNS. That is not the time to barter with Germany over her paying the price for the war she started, that price being reparation to the peoples she has harmed for the damage she did them. ‘We do not want to have to TREAT with Ger- many. on the subject of German militarism and HUN power lust. And if we fight until the HUNS surrender UN- CONDITIONALLY we will not have to do those things. ; We can bury German militarism and greed with- out asking the kaiser’s permission. We can compel Germany to free all soil she has taken by conquest and all people she has enslaved. When Germany surrenders unconditionally the peoples who love liberty, who believe in the prin- cigles of democracy, who respect the rights of other peoples and other nations, will write the terms of peace and will dictate the things Ger- many must do and must not do. If the allies are unable to do this, the war will have to be fought all over again. All the lives which have been sacrificed will have been given in vain. All that we have done our children will have to do—and more. $100 The money you invest in Liberty Bonds pays dividends ,in dollars and cents while it is “over there” fighting your battles. For instance: Consider what you can do with $100 and what that $100 can do for you. Exclud- ing your two-weeks vacation, it will take you a year to save $100 if you put away $2 a week, and it can be done in six months if you deny yourself still farther and store away $4 a week. That $100 can do many things for you. «It can buy things which are not good for your welfare. your health, your longevity. It can be hidden away, and if not | lost or stolen, used when the proverbial rainy day comes round. It can be put in a savings bank and from two to four per cent interest collected. It can be invested in bonds of the Fourth Liberty | Loan and will pay four and a fourth per cent div-} idend. If hidden in the family teapot, the annual re- turn would be—00. If deposited in the average savings bank it will pay you each year—$4, If loaned to your government it will pay you every year —$4.25. Now as to safety. The teapot, or other home hiding spot may be rifled by thieves, or reached by rodents and the bills. destroyed, or the money may be burned The bank is safer. Few banks fail. But no bank is safer or stronger or more permanent than the government which gives the bank the privilege of existing. The Liberty Bond is as safe as the government. It is the promise of the government. It is backed by the people of the United States, and by all the wealth of the country No individual’s promise to pay no bank’s promise to pay, and no corporation’s promise to pay is as well backed as is this promise to pay made by the government of the United THE LEAGUE AMENDMENTS. In justice to its readers and to the taxpayers and citizens of North Dakota generally, The Tri- bune purposes during the next few days to, discuss editorially the constitutional amendments which are being submitted by the Nenpartisan league for approval at the November elections. There are seven of these amendments. Six ef them had never been proposed, discussed. con- sidered or contemplated untii tie finished draft of House Bill 44 was presented in the house of the lest general assembly. H No member of that body, leaguer or other, {had been elected on a platform embodying the changes in North Dakota’s constitution.

There was not a man in whom his neighbors or fellow citizens had) ever invested any legislative, judicial or executive} powers or authority. They were, one and all; rank outsiders, petty tricksters and cheap theorists, and they asked the 15th general assembly to shamelessly usurp powers which had never been delegated to it and to exercise authority which no| regular legislative body in the history of any state ever has possessed or endeavored to seize. And/ in the large Nonpartisan‘ majority which controll-' ed the lower house there were less than a half-| dozen who had the manhood and the intelligence| and the integrity to stand out against Townley | old, disused hotel, like sheep the remainder of the} legislators who bore the Townley brand blindly | followed his lead. i North Dakota has had cause to give thanks; many times during the last two years for the wise provision in its constitution under which not more! than fifty per cent of the members of its upper/ house can be retired in any general election. But for this provision Townley undoubtedly would have controlled the senate of the last assembly as he did control the house, and a weird collection of socialistic fallacies conceived in the crooked con- volutions of cracked brains would now be serving North Dakota as a constitution and offering Townley the opportunity which he covets for the confiscation of all private property. Now Mr. Townley and Arthur LeSeuer, the friend of “Big Bill” Haywood, and A. E. Bowen, the master plotter, and William Lemke, who has prostituted the republican. party to the uses of his master, are asking the people of North Dakota at large to do what their sworn representatives would not do. < The electors of North Dakota are asked to wreck the constitution which their forefathers so wisely “drafted, basing their conclusions on the experience of older commonwealths which had in the course of a century or more sifted the good from the evil, discarded the unsound and the weak and the wicked and adopted and preserved and strengthened that which was good, dependable and worthy. Again the initiative comes not from a single North Dakota taxpayer; not from a single repre- sentative citizen of North Dakota, but from a lit- tle group of intriguers who have their habitat and their headquarters and their holdings in a foreign state, and whose only interest in North Dakota may be that which the vivisectionist feels in the puppy upon which he practices new and yet un- proven feats of surgery. Fortunately, Townley and his fellow adven- turers can initiate but they cannot force upon North Dakota this radical program without the consent of the governed. Autocratic, powerful and ruthless as Townley and his fellow destroyers are, they must yet, at least this one time more, bow to the only power which free America has ever recognized—the ballot. | Wielding as we do this power, our only shield against autocracy, anarchy, and individualism such as we recently have seen manifested in Rus- sia under Bolshevik rule—that mad, distorted rule of the mob which Townley and his agents have eulogized here in sane, clean-souled America—it is our solemn duty to ponder well beforé we exer- cise this power in such a manner that it shall be! forfeited, not to us alone, but to our children and their children. : 1 has ever been easy to yield up liberty; to regain liberties once surrendered has been a matter far more difficult. We are free men today; we must think as free men; we must decide as free men, and when the time comes we must act as free men. slightest reference to these proposed radical! marck to subscribe to his sacred oath had any in-! timation that any project of so serious and far-| i The plan was known only to its authors—a/ j who came up from St. Paul with the draft for this Included in this precious group was not a sin-} and his fellow wreckers.
