Established 1873) E> AN EXCELLENT MOVE | Commander Evangeline Booth of the Salvation | Army, announces that the old sporadic efforts of the organization to raise funds are out of date, un- fair to the public and distressing to all earnest! workers who are forced to give too much time to this class of work. i Taking a lesson from the recent wonderful war drives, the army will raise its budget for the year through one intensive effort. Bismarck already has had its drive and in all cities of the nation a similar canvass will be made. Commander Booth declares that ten million will be raised in May. In speaking of past’ methods of raising money, Commander Booth says: “The old-time methods of soliciting alms would be an unwarranted waste of time and an imposi- tion on the public.” I =— So faras Germany is concerned, peace: means pout and pay. ‘ SAMPLE OF STATESMANSHIP Maybe, if you like the U. S. senate’s attitude toward equality of political rights, you'll also ad- mire its attitude toward business. Mueh of the unemployment and still more of the lassitude as to business enterprises are due to the fact that business men and those eager to go ahead with new undertakings don’t know what their taxes are to be. It is about the most impor- tant information that could be given the country. Observe how the représentative'U. S. senate hus- tles along the intelligence. On a recent date, the conference report on the $6,000,000,000 war revenue bill came before that body. It is a very voluminous report. A copy of i€ was'in the hands of every senator’ and he was bound to study it. Senators Lodge, Penrose and France’ demanded that the: whole’ thing. be read. Mery good-formality, said the senate. And when the élerk began to read, the senators walked out and the clerk read the whole document to practic- ally empty, seats. . Hours wasted over nothing. Meanwhile, reconstruction isn’t reconstructing and the jobless'aren’t working. Repentance is usually no more than a desire to aviod® consequence. WHERE THIRST FOR WATER IS GREATEST Restless, tossing, mysterious, deep, vast—the sea has been the bone of contention in many wars —and in peace. Control of that trackless traffic-way with its coastal vantages of bay and harbor have set nation at the throat of nation. From the day “Fulton’s Felly” steamed up the Hudson seaports assumed a new importance in the scale of geographical values. The profits of commerce tured. Waterfrontage trebled and ‘quadrupled in price.’ A long coastline with points of security for shipping was covet- ously regarded by countries less fortunately sit- uated. Navies became armadas, the longer the coast- line the.larger the fleet of floating forts. Germany looked hungrily upon the Belgian and French seafronts; Austria-Hungary hankered for control of the Adriatic; to Russia possession of Constantinople ‘meant a priceless. outlet to the Mediterranean. Verily, man’s thirst for the water is not all in his throat! After all, it: is simply a question of weather Germany or France shall bear the cost of the Hun’s crimes. CREED OF AMERICANISM I believe that the American republic as insti- tuted by the fathers constitutes the finest system of government ever ordained among men and af- fords the machinery for the righting of grievances without resort to violence, tumult,’ and disorder. I believe that every inequality. which exists in the social] and economic condition of the American people is traceable to the successful demands of, interested classes for class legislation,:and I be- dieve, therefore, that practi¢al equality can be ob- tained under our form of governmentaby remedial Jegislation in the interest of theAmerican people and not in the interest of any body thereof, large or small. . 1 ‘- [believe there is no justification in a govern- ment, where officials are elected and laws made shed and anarchy unless the majority shall sub- mit to the will of the minority. -..,,,. i seek redress for their griévances in orderly and constitutional ways, and I believe that all others if we must, that our country is not an international boarding house nor an anarchist cafe. I pledge myself to the support of these prin- fortune and my life, and I promise my country to train my children in this most holy faith. The above is a creed Vice President Marshall suggests Americans adopt. He asks for a “straw vote” on it, confidently believing that a large majority of his fellow citizens will place them- selves fairly and squarely upon the side of Ameri- canism as Americanism is interpreted in the creed. What do YOU think about it? Does it present to you a perfect picture of true Americanism? If it! doesn’t—how could you change it? What, if any- thing, would you add to it? Or is there anything —any word or sentence—in the creed which you would eliminate? The most consoling experience a woman ever has is to call unexpectedly and find another woman’s in a mess. - The trouble with maudlin idealists is that they confuse terms. Forgiveness is a matter of spirit, and does not repair damage. Of course it is impossible for Germany to pay the damages and the-war cost of the allies in one generation, but haven’t we satisfastory authority for the doctrine that the sins of the fathers shall be visited on the children? WITH THE EDITORS | a AND WHO IS HERRON? President Wilson has personally appointed William Allen White of Emporia, Kan., and the former Rev. George D. Herron of Geneva, Switzer- land, to the highly important diplomatic post of American delegates to meet and confer with the Russian bolshevists (and other Russian delega- tions if they decide to come) on Princes’ Islands, in the Sea of Marmora, near Constantinople. There is no need of going into the details of George D. Herron’s unsavory career. He was a Congregational clergyman who was turned out by the church of which he was pastor and by the col- lege in which he was a professor because he aban- doned -his wife and children in order to.make a should. be taught, peacefully if we can and forcibly j ciples by my voice, by vote, and, if need be, by my] Moone NOTE: AMERICAN SOLDIERS Knights of Columbus, Mr, James | A. Flaherty of Philadelphia, will vis't our city on the 7th of March, as a guest of. the State Deputy of the Knights of Columbus or North Dakota. Mr. Flaherty, being the. | head of an organization that has second-marriage with-an “affinity” who possessed, in-addition to her charms of person, the charm of money. His conduct produced such social scorn and contempt in -this.country that he was practic- ally ostracized. He is not even an American in the best sense of the word, for he has been living the life of an expatriate for several years in Switzer- land. He is an avowed sccialist of the most radical type, and has supported by money gifts and by written and spoken words the Rand School of So- cial Science in New York city, which has been charged by the government authorities with being a nest of sedition. : The American people, with the exception per- haps of the “liberals,” believe that the family is the fundamental basis of organized civilization. They will not tolerate a man who says, as Mr. Herron has said, “The-coercive family will pass away with the coercive economic system.”—Out- look. SIDELIGHTS ON OLE HANSON Various newspaper correspondents have been throwing interesting sidelights on the character of Ole Hanson, Seattle’s fighting mayor. One of the keys to his character, it appears, is that “he does one thing at a time.” Impulsive and energetic, he is a hard man to beat. Started upon a course of ac- tion, he “neither thinks nor talks of anything else until he has attained his end.” “His ability to guess what the other fellow is going to dc amounts to genius.” Such are some of the things said of the mayor. Mayor Hanson,thought Seattle ought to-develop the water power-of -the Skagit river to keep pace with the power needs ef the growing city. Last summer, despite the war, he set to work on the project. It would necessitate the ultimate expen- diture of about thirty million‘dollars and the im- mediate sale of a million dollars’ worth of bonds to start work. But the Capital Issues commission vetoed the issue. So Mayor Hanson went down to Washington to explain the situation to the presi- dent. The explanation developed heat. The story is told in these words: “In the heat of his argument with the presi- dent, Mayor Hansen took off his coat. ‘You don’t mind if I take off my coat.and vest, do you, Wil- son?’ was the way he put the question. The presi- dent laughed and: seemed to enjoy the situation.” Under the spell of “the best’ real estate sales- man in the West,” as Hanson is described by an- other writer, the president finally agreed with his visitor. : - The sentence in the mayor’s statement of the strike situation in Seattle that struck the imagina- tion of the country was that in which, after de- scribing the methods and spirit of the Pacific Coast Bolshevists, he said: “I wanted a showdown. ‘If theer is a majority of these fellows in the United States, I don’t want to live here.” ; “4 That hit the- general feeling to a T.

Since its foundation, thirty-six years ago, the Knights of Columbus, as a society, has accomplished much. sub- stantial work. The Knights haye aid- ed scores of educational institutions throughout the country; they have combated socialism ahd ‘anarchy by sending competent lecturers all over thee ontinent; they have relieved dis- tress in every great disaster like the San Francisco earthquake and the} Halifax explosion; they have patd; toousands of insuran claims and enviable” record of being ranked as one of the soundest fratern- al insurance organizations in the Unit- ed States.

While in Bismarck Mr. Flaherty will sound the keynote of the local cam- paign for membership being ‘inaugur- ated by the Bismarck knights. The order plans to double its membership of five hundred thousand during the ensuping. twelve montis. Over forty thousand knights were actually en- gaged in the war and thousands of our boys at the front have expressed witnessing the organization’s work there.

See and $69,000, the American Exchange price Fn Of this amount Hastings is si have been required to put back into the American Exchange bank the morn- ing of the banking board’s investiga- tion $15,000, the bank examiner hav- ing stated that the bank's capital and surplus of $230,000 were impaired to that extent. This would leave a net earning on the transaction of only $47,000, not including any bit which may have been margined on the turn- in of President Grady’s home in Val- ley City, which, Mr. Hastings is said to hold, was purely a personal matter. And, at that, Jack doesn’t like the banking game. He told the banking toard he would much prefer to cut it all and go. back to his old job, but that Townley did not seem able to find anyone else to handle this work, and, “for the good of the cause” Hastings stuck, even when a diligent seven or eight months’ business produced but $47,000 profit. t OLSON DOESN'T KNOW When President Olson of the Amer- ican Exchange bunk admitted to the banking bourd that some furmer stock- , holders had been told by someone that the bank could get money at two per cent and loan it at eight, Mr. Olson was “slightly confused,” according to Hastings’ version. Hastings admitted that the man. picked by the league to head the Valley City institution didn’t know »much about: banking, ‘and. that\ an “active” man was to be placed in charge. f t HAS BEEN FALL GUY Organizing league banks hasn’t been all,, milk and’ hotiey,:said Hastings. Down, at Leith, for instunee, ‘the cush- ier placed; {n- charge. of the league bank; without bond, drew. somé $3300 Worth, of drafts «:;which = ‘he » never charged up -and skipped with the pro- ceeds, and Jack had to make:this good out of. his own ‘pocketsi e144 Then. there was another instance, in’ some \ 6ther ehterprise, where a trusted Heutetiént,” who didn't. chance to have a’‘boud, or’ who- discovered some other: loop-hole’ for escape, got away with’ something like $6,000. Jack caught the. fellow, and Was. going to "sue “him, ‘but “he found’ the state's at- torney. und. the judge andthe jury all stacked against him,'and he dismissed the xetion und accepted the culprit’s “| note: And besides. there was that 15,000 which he had been compelled riety very morning to turn back into the Ameri- can Exchange bunk coffers to make up that hateful impairment of capital and surplus. ‘And,*to add to his humilia- tion, no. one would give him credit for having done it until. the cashier of the Valley City bank wired that the mmoney had actually urrived and had been déposited to the bank’s account. AANDAHL ESCAPED = 3. J. Aandahl, chairman of North Dakota Tailway commission, and a_ citizen of Burnes county, was one of those Who escaped.
