(Established 1873) =— — — GERMANY KNOWS HER FATE + ‘Americans have read the peace terms published ‘in fragments during the last two or three months. | They were prepared for the synopsis of the treaty submitted to the delegates of the German empire or what is now left of it. As far as Germany is concerned her militarism is destroyed for several generations, probably forever. Whether Prussian- | ism ever lifts again its bloody banners depends wholly on the effie with which the League of Nations functions. May 7 will stand out prominently in the world’s history, marking an epoch more vital in the progy ress of ngtions than any of h: periods recorded in the a “In the 80,000 wo: oe written™the hopes, the ideals and the aspirations of a new era, born of the bitter travail of the worst war in ages. The German nation will be made to feel in some measure at least the weight of her crime. There can be no fit atonement for the atrocities which the Huns committed. The sword is sheathed pro- vided Germany toes the mark and yields every item of the bond exacted by the victorious allies. What reparation can there be for ruined homes, | ravaged women, death, murder and all the other scourges of war? No treaty that a Christian na- tion could write would wipe them out. The age for| hostages has gone by. It is no longer an eye for aneye and a tooth for a tooth. Germany will not feel they Jaghyybut every avenue for a. re- turn to ‘the rite and devastation of ‘1914 ‘is closed by treaty and if need be by the force of arms. g iGermany must sign the pact without quibble or Dearg pr Failing in this her people will be isolatéd "atid cut off from all international rela- tions. a Germany is to have no membership in the! league of nations, but she must accept and respect the principles and mandates of such a league. It would be impossible in the space of one editorial to discuss the phases of so momentous a document. Everyone knows that it is tempered by more mercy than any treaty written in Versailles by a victor’ ous Germen army or its leader insane with world power would have shown. Picture if you can, the terms of the treaty if Kaiser William sat enthroned in Versailles under the banner: “Deutschland Uber Alles.” Conjure if you can the price of peace had it bgen dictated by the Huns a raised the blas Phemous war cro Mit G@SFur Koenig Und Vaterland.” ‘ —__—__ 4 YOUR PROBLEM The most important problem confronting the American people, and one second to none which has come to us for solution in all the years of our national existence, is— THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS. * Shall the United States. beéome a member of} the League of Nations, or shall we refuse to join the society of sovereign states of the world? The answer soon must be given. short time the amended covenant of the League of Nations will be brought to the United States Senate for adoption or rejection. Being a party of the peace treaty the League of Nations problem becomes, by constitutional direction,.a senatorial problem. And 96 senators will have to give the formal, legal, constitutional answer. Two-thirds of the membership will have to vote “Aye” to enroll this country in the League of Nations. One member more than one-third of the membership, may keep us out of the league. In theory the senate is supposed to represent the American people. Senators are supposed (theoretically) to vote the will and wishes of the people. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they mis- interpret the will of the people. Sometimes they don’t give a tinker's dam about the will of the people. But in answering the League of Nations prob- lems they MUST give heed to the will of the peo- ple, for this is the most momentous national and international problem which has come to the sen- ate for solution in years and years. This is a problem close to the hearts of the people. It will effect the “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness” of every man, woman and child in this country, and of succeeding ‘generations. 2 This, then, Is the people’s problem. The an- swer should be their’s. E _ Tue senate does not know what the majority jtieve. And it can be done so that the vote may be} 8 ofthe treaty aie | Within a} of the people want done. The senate does not know if the majority of the people want this nation a member of the league, or not. Nota single sena- = or| tor was elected in a campaign in which the League of Nations was even mentioned. Only one member of the lower house has been chosen in such a cam- paign. Obviously, the logical, sensible, just, demo- cratic thing to do is to ask the people what they want done. i It is their problem, and it should be their an- swer! There should be an opportunity for every | Nations answer, This can be done only if the next congress provides for a national referendum elec- \tion. Congress can do this, legislative experts be- j taken before the senate normally would pass upon trict and the senators representing YOU may help to bring this about. They will if they are con- vinced that you want to answer. they are convinced that you want to answer the {League of Nations question YOURSELF, and not lease it to 96 senators who have received fo in- struction from the American people on the subject. The question we are arguing is NOT— | Shall the United States become a member of ithe League of Nations? It is THIS— Shall the people of the United States, have the right to decide for themselves whether they will, gx not, enter the League @f* Nations? % } oie | FRAZIER AND ®HE SOLDIER When State Auditor Kositzky made the state- ;ment in his talk at the auditorium in Bismarck jlast Saturday, that the administration had made jsome fourteen appointments recently and not one of them given to a soldier, it was un astonishing fact. ‘But the worst feature of it is that the posi- tions were handed to persons who were not resi- dents of the state. Our state must be in.a de- plorable condition, when competent men in it are passed up, especially among our returned soldiers. One fact must be noted that Attorney General Langer was able to find soldier boys to fill the joffices created for him to fill and he gave them the plum.—Carson Press. : pw &, | WITH’ THE EDITORS _ | THE, LEAGUE PROGRAM ‘ There ha8 been a guod,deal of discussion of late as to what constitutes the real program of the ; Nonpartisan ‘league. ' Several members: of‘ the state administration have declared their objection |to certain measures enacted by the last legisla- iture, and yét maintain that they are loyal qem- bers of tHe; Nonpartiaay e. these measures on the ground that they do not constitute part of the league program to which it is maintained the majority of the members of league program? In a statement from Simon J. Nagel, a mem- ber of the state board of control appointed to that position by Governor Frazier, the league program jis declared to consist of a state owned elevator, a {flour mill, a cold storage plant, rural credit bank, jand compulsory hail insurance. Mr.. Nagel, like | other state officials, opposes some of the bills re- cently enacted, yet he was considered a good jenough leaguer to be appointed to the present osition by Governor Frazier. f)-" "A glance over the history of ie Nonpartip league will convince’ man} tiblds d ‘persons that Mr. Nagel’s summary is: substantially correct. During the first year of the life of the league the |policies to which that. organization became com- mitted were quite frequently and thoroughly dis- cussed on the platform and in the press by promi- and the list given by. Mr. Nagel’ is substantially the list which was then proposed. During the campaign of last year no additions were made to |this list until after election. No mention was made publicly of a revolution in educational organiza- jtion. Nothing was said of combining in one body jauthority over the educational, corrective andj ;charitable institutions of the state. Nothing was said about the legislation of a newspaper monbp- loly into existence; nothing was said about concen-| ‘trating control of the tax measures of the state| jin the hands of one man. Nothing was said about | 're-districting the state for judicial purposes and | making unnecessary additions to the number of! district judges. Nothing was said about placing. in the hands of traveling agents a fund of $200,000! | for the alleged encouragement of immigration. Nothing was said about plunging the state into, | the general banking business. Yet, bills covering, all these things were sprung upon the legiglators, foreed through the caucus by the arbitrary meth- | ods familiar to those who dictated the proceedings, | and passed by the legislature. Several state offi-/ {cials, all of them league members and elected to the support of league voters have protested! against one or more of these measures, claiming them to be not part of the league program, and therefore that their opposition to them involves } no disloyalty to the league or antagonism toward | its principles. Are these men right or are their facts within the knowledge of any league member to indicate that they are wrong? It seems that! jan answer ‘to this question is needed before the jleaguers can follow the precedent oftheir society in their denunciation of these members as traitors to the cause.—Grand Forks Herald, , ~ oer antag REN: American voter to register HIS or HER League of } ithe peace treaty.
