Therefore, it is entirely possible that before any of these questions could he submited at a special clec- tion, which the governor need not ci until the expiration of four mont the state may be bonded for $17,000,- 000, and that much of the proceeds of these bonds may be invested in sites, rights-of-way, buildings, equipments or farm loans. League is Fighting. The league has already begun its fight against the referendum. Adver- tisements and notices in Nonpartisan organs warn voters against signing any. petitions. The league plans to bring into North Dakota every avail- aole organizer, speaker, league work- er and friend of the movement. A league representative is authority for the statement that for the next ninety days the organization will have in each county in the state at least ten trained men. dinning constantly into the ears of the farmers that any in- terference of any kind with the league program will prove dangerous: that their ancient enemy, Big Busines: making an attempt to defeat their whole scheme of “Industrial Democ- racy.” In the cities a shnilar campaign is now under way. It has assumed the nature of an appeal to the cupidity of the various municipalities. Every city in the state has Sqpie selfish intevest in getting one or more of the league's proposed enterprises, a mill, or an el- evator, or a bank, or one of the sev- eral wholesale houses which the league plans ‘tg establish to serve its chain store system League newspapers are cunningly insinuating in news articles, in editor ials and in cartoons that any city which partielgates in the referndum or encourages it will be forever siuc off from any of these industrial plums.. This propaganda is unques- tionably Mazing its effect.

HIGH COUNTIES TO NAME SHIPS Tanks Having Gone Out of Fash- ion, Liberty Loan Leaders Are Given New Option Minneapolis, Minn., March district that won the right to Rame tanks by their high percentage of dis- tribution in the Fourth Liberty loan wil instead e the right to name United States ships. This word came today in a telegram to A. K. Rogers, chairman of the Ninth district war loan organization, saying that Mrs. Woodrow Wilson had waiv- ed her privilege of naming the ships and that she had lefi the-matter in the hands of the Liberty Loan com- mitee. For a time‘it was feared taat owing signing of the armistice, the that made such 2 brililant showing in last fall's campaiga wore domed to disappointment becau: tae commisioning of additional tanks had been discontinued. “The proud record af the priz ning counties of must not go unnoticed,” read the mes sage from Washington. “Those inat won the right to name tanks will now name ships, instead, through-the cour- tesy of Mrs. Wilson.” Details of the’ new arrangements are expected before the Victory lib- erly loan drive opens in April and as son as word is received the county chairmen concerned will be advised.

Roofs -of ouildings nearhy were also searched. Police lines were drawn two blocks | from all sides of the opera hovs Seat holders arriving in automobiles were forced to descend one block from the building and walk ‘to the main entrance. At least fifteen uniformed policemen vised each ticket before 3 séat holder could reach the main en- trance of the building and almost as many. more men scanned the tickets before a person reached his seat.

WHOSE? Washington, D. C., March There's plenty of fighting fiber in A. Mitchell Palmer, new attorney gen- eral of the United States. This de- spite his Quaker ancestry. 5. ever, Palmer wouldn’t think of it as “fighting fiber.” He sees it as “de- termination, perseverance, bulldog hang-to-itiveness.” Palmer has disproved the charge that a “jack of all trades is master of none.” For he is a good lawyer, one of the best in Pennsylvania; a suc- cessful business man; a prosperous newspaper publisher, and the greatest finder of enemy property any bellig- | erent in the late war possessed. and largest share of publicity. took anything which bore the German It was announced he | or Austrian label of ownership, from a | twopenny fund to hundred million dol-j lar steamship lines.

The president declared he was con- vinced by “unmistakable evidences from all parts of the country” that the nation was in favor of the league of. nations, “I am more happy because this means this is not a: party issue,” he said. “This is not a party issue, and not a party in the long run will dare oppose it.” The president said an _ effective working ogreement for a league of nations was sought abroad. “Intrigue cannot ‘stand publicity and if the league of nations were nothing but a big debating society it wodld kill intrigue.” Under the covenant, he said, it is “the friendly right” of every nation to call attention of other nations to anything which endangered peace. Germany never would have gone to war if she had first discussed the sit- uation with Serbia, he declared.
