Few towns are without plans for a memorial to their heroes. Discussions grow acrimonious on the respective merits of monuments, fountains, | parks, highways, hospitals, and community ¢ ters, All these are fine. All reflect muc opee nore iput ty receive, Hut what do the peroes want? It is not hard to find out. Very many thousands of returning soldiers and sailors have registered their wishes with the) gUnited States employment servi ese requests | fare monotonously alike. “They show a unanimity far greater than that of the average reception or memoria! committee, They all ask for a better job. Well, why not? Did we mean the things we said on a million platforms, in all the multitudinous columns of the press and on the sea of posters that inundated the land before they Jeft and while they gone? We said that, if the war was lost, all our property would be valueless, We told of the mii lions of dollars of indemnity a victorious German , would demand. There is no reason to think we ‘ estimated it too small, x Remember that poster inquiring, “What will, } ee money be worth if wé lose the war?" And) ‘that other one asking, “Do you Jove your dollars! more than your boys?” The heroes believed those statements, They staked their lives and their future on that faith. a They went away to make this a safer and a bet- f ; ter world in which to live. They did their work j fo splendidly that all the world marveled and { admired, ae Are they to’ be welcomed back! only with more phrases? They do not ask to be supported in idJencgs, | They do not ask that the indemnity which a vic torious Germany would have demanded he divided among them. They do not ask that the land they saved shall be theirs. i They are ready to take their place again in the ranks of useful workers. They are willing to give a full return for al] they receive. They only ask for some direct personal ¢ u dence in their own case that they have made this country a better place in which to live and i work, They request a little larger share of the! wealth they wish to help produce, and that a lit-| tle of the world democracy for which they fought! shall find its way into the workshop. i It sounds like a reasonable request. All help build up the tor RA TELL US WHY NOT Uncle Sam has maintained, at his big ports of | entry, staffs of o cials whose duty is to stop! ; the entry of “undesirables.” Paupers, people with| ‘sore eyes, anarchists, and notorious criminals are| turned back. Within a few months, our government will have | to decide what to do with thousands of interned enemy aliens. These consist largely of German ; spies, promoters of incendiarism and wholesale i murder, Teutonic anarchists and those who did their best to furnish aid and comfort to our ene- mies in war time. Apparently, under lack of legislation for doing the sensible thing, this horde of enemies must either be supported in confinement, indefinitely, or be turned loose upon America, to resume their. different lines of diabolical effort. It is a simple proposition. We must either feed, clothe and house our enemies, the meanest sort of enemies, or take them back into our midst and put up with their deviltry, whatever the results, Will some kind reader tell, us why this army of enemies should be permitted to come forth and take jobs in the country they’ve done their cus- sedest to betray, while our boys who fought and bled for us tramp the streets looking for jobs? Why keep up bars against “undesirables” with- out, and, at the same time, fatten and harbor those within? Why fear foreign snakes, while content with our own bosom full of reptiles? _ Why pot legislation for deportation of our _ fabid “undesirable” alien enemies? i a ea ea / is sand years from now historians will prob- iw this paper and also the local mews pub-| _ y upon the givers, and prove | s more blessed to give than), | A will-o'-the-wisp is a meteoric light whi floats close to the ground im boggy places and | suddenly disappears.

But imegine how empty and dull the roadside would be without it. ! Sometimes we put ‘our fiiger on one trait or 4a hat is why he has accomplished so much.” | But it isn’t any more true than that one of} the golden rays makes a dandelion. | It takes many, a great many different ndbits | to mak ke up our life and upon the co-ordination of | those habits will depend in great part our success or failure. 1 But, first of all in the study of habits, is to sort! out the good from the bad. Then eliminate as rapidly as possible these that are harmful, re-| membering that the older a habit is the harder! it is to uproot. ’ It seems clear enough now that hate is a lia- ene See eee | This theory that they can’t come back doesn’t | apply to presidents.

THE ORGY IN NORTH DAKOTA The constitution of North Dakota stood as a stone wall obstacle to the wildcat schemes of state socialism planned out by the combination of I. W. W.-ism and Townleyism. It was necessary to extract the teeth of the constitution as the first step of the program and to this énd the Nonpar- tisan league control submitted ten amendments. It is one of the constitutional safeguards that only by the majority vote of all who go to the polls can a change be made in the organic law. Failure to vote on the subject is held to be the exercise of the right to express a negative opinion. Of the ten ‘amendments, five failed to receive the support of a majority of those going to the polls, though they were given a majority of the vote cast upon the subject. The Townley canvass- ing board construed the law to suit its Purposes, declared the amendments ratified and now a sapi- ent supreme court has confirmed this construc- tion, holding the provision to mean a majority of those “voting on a given question.” This removes) the last legal obstacle to the execution of the Bol- shevist orgy_planned for the undoing of North Dakota. There are some diseases which must run their course and work out their own cure. The fan- tastic radicalism with which North Dakota has been indoctrinated will burn out the faster the mere completely it is supplied with fuel. It is<a case of helping it with, the rope with which to hang itself or the swift steed upon which to ride to destruction. Townleyism has been given full WITH THE EDITORS’ i “ |latitude to bring on thé nightmare from which the innate judgment of North Dakota will sooner or later awake to sanity and sobriety.
