The ambition of the little girl to “paste the kaiser in the eye with the custard pie” is worthy of comment. Most of us would like to “paste” the kaiser one—or a dozen. And if we had the kaiser| here right now and held a custard pie in our hand | we’d do a Charlie Chaplin stunt and Jand that pie} right square in old Bill Hohenzollern’s eye. ; But we’d much rather have a club, or an ax, or a gun in our hand. >= | That would hurt the kaiser more. And we'd like nothing. better than to make that imperial reprobate smart for the wrongs he has done. A custard pie wouldn’t hurt him enough. So let us give up any dreams of swatting the kaiser with a pie. Or slapping him on the wrist. | Let’s hit him with something which will hurt, which will put him out of the war, defeated and everlastingly demolished. Let’s hit him through our soldiers. Let’s hit him through his army, for that is the only way we can hit him. He keeps his cowardly carcass safely protected from our bullets and bombs. There’s but one way to reach him and that is ON TO BERLIN! withthe allied forces. And we can’t get to Berlin by throwing custard pies, calling the kaiser names or waving flags. It takes money and men to get to Berlin. The men are on their way. Money is needed. Your money, the dollars you have saved and can save, must carry our men to Berlin. These dollars may be invested in Liberty Bonds. At least a $50 bond for every wage earner, and most of us can do better than that. A $50 bond is merely our “bit.” Buying all the bonds we can possibly pay for is doing our BEST. It will take our BEST to get to Berlin. Paste the kaiser with a bond—a Liberty Bond! Flying is now said to be safe as walking. Which may be so six days a week, but the gasless Sab- bath is the pedestrians paradise! x ‘STOP IT. ‘The great war has already claimed more than 40,000 American soldiers as casualties. The list will constantly grow larger. England has lost more than 900,000 troops in killed alone. The German loss in killed has been more than 2,000,000. The French losses ‘have been almost as great. Statigticians who have made a study of war casualties declare that in killed alone the casual- ties of all nations, Russians,“Serbs, Rumanians, Turks, Austrians, Bulgars and those before men- tioned have been more than 10,000,000. The majority of these men were young. were the men who would have tilled the fields, worked in the shops and raised the families of to- morrow. . They were the promises, unfulfilled by the mad '00/ THE TIME OF THE ADOPTION OF THIS CON- ; | EXCEED ONE-HALF ITS VALUE; OR UPON |STATE-OWNED UTILITIES, ENTERPRISES! 00 ING ITS VALUE; AND PROVIDED, FURTHER, | \THAT THE STATE SHALL NOT ISSUE OR |GUARANTEE BONDS UPON PROPERTY OF DOLLARS. jlic utilities, enterprises or industries, in excess of | tion is improper.

DEBT LIMIT.—To amend Section 182 in Article 12, changes the debt limit from TWO HUNDRED | THOUSAND DOLLARS EXCLUSIVE OF WHAT \MAY BE THE DEBT OF NORTH DAKOTA AT STITUTION; by provision, THAT ALL BONDS! IN EXCESS OF TWO -MILLION DOLLARS SHALL BE SECURED BY FIRST MORTGAGES |UPON REAL ESTATE IN AMOUNTS NOT TO} | REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY OF OR INDUSTRIES, IN AMOUNTS NOT EXCEED-| STATE-OWNED UTILITIES, ENTERPRISES OR INDUSTRIES IN EXCESS OF TEN MILLION + 8 & This proposed amendment, as Mr, Townley ac- knowledges througl his daily newspaper at Far- go, “makes the sky the limit” for North Dakota’s bonded indebtedness. It also opens the way to the investment. of pub- lic funds, through tne guaranteeing of bonds, in all manner of public utilities and business enter- prises and industries. : A casual reading of the proposed amendment! would leave the impression—as ‘may have beén}. the desire of the authors of the draft—that the state may not guarantee bonds in state-owned pub-| ~ ten million dollars. As a matter of fact, as will be seen by a second reading, ten millign dollars is not the limit as to the aggregate bonded indebted-|_ ness which the state may incur, but is merely the! public_utility, enterprise or industry. * cd * Being a socialist, thoroughly committed to, the |¢: principle that the title to all property should rest in the state, Mr. Townley may be given credit for sincerity and honesty of conviction in his desire to concentrate in a state government which he controls the ownership of land, public utilities and all manner of business enterprises and industrial establishments. We may grant that Mr. Townley is’ playing. fair, with himself, when he preaches that private-ownership of property of any descrip- edly were sincere when they not only preached but attempted to put into practice this same doc- trine. We know what the result has been in Rus- sia, where the workmen soviet councils had the! ism from the cradle up. Granting that Mr. Townley is a PRACTICAL socialist—and we are inclined to doubt it—it must be admitted that he has not proven a practical farmer and business-man. Townley failed miser- ably as a farmer in western North Dakota. Other farmers, with no greater advantages than he pos- sessed, and a majority of them with far less financial credit, have succeeded and prospered in; the same region, under the very same conditions. Mr. Townley has blamed Big Business, the Cham- ber of Commerce and the Elements for his failure. These same forces were encountered by his neigh- bores, out there, and still they succeeded and have Townley was not an average good farmer; that he lacked business ability; that he was not prac- tical. This arraignment can be raised against every socialist. He has ideas, theories, ideals, but he lacks initiative and executive. He specializes in tearing down, rather than ‘in building up. He is more active in discovering flaws than in demon- strating remedies. He can reprove, but not im- prove; destroy, but not construct. * * * If Mr. Townley found a structure which could, be improved by alteration, he would first apply a stick of dynamite. A more careful builder would take what was good in the old and add to it. He would cause less disturbance, waste less time and effort, and accomplish his results more quickly. But that is not the socialist way—and it is not Mr. Townley’s way, for Mr. Townley is a socialist ; all of his ‘ideas are socialistic; his utopia is socialism. We wonder how many successful farmers who have ‘been attracted to the league by some of its sound planks would turn over the management of {their own personal affairs to Mr. Townley, know- asked to make htra general manager of a great state; to place at his disposal unlimited financial resources, to remove all restrictions and" to give him.a free hand, with a state administration and They|a legislature which will do his bidding without question. ‘ = * * { Is Mr. Townley big enough for the job?
