CONSIDER THEM AMERICANS The Tribune was informed today by a-very good friend that we had damaged the independent cause and furnished ammunition to A. C. Townley by publishing, last week, an editorial condemning the perpetuation in America of foreignness. The editorial in question referred to the estab- lishment in East Williamsburg, N. Y., of free schools for the teaching of German, We suggested that it was too soon after Nov- ember 11, to seek to put Germany back into the United States. 1 The Tribune intimated that it might be better for the members of this pastor’s congregation, and particularly for the members of his Sunday-school, that they be not able to understand his sermons preached in German. We expressed , the: belief that they would become good Americans faster when they more thoroughly. understood the American tongue. The Tribune sees in this editorial no cause for any loyal American citizen of German birth or descent turning to Bolshevism. It may be adopted as an excuse by the disloyal, if any there be, for the adoption of tenets which have as their ulti- mate aim the destruction of the established form of American government. If Townlev’s regime in North Dakota can be defeated only by resorting to un-Americanism, then The Tribune cannot become a factor in the defeat of Townley. 3 We are informed that Mr. Townley is taking \dVantage of The Tribune editorial to preach fhrough his foreign press and his foreign-speaking ‘agents: that opponents ‘of ‘thé’ léalyue would sup- press all things German—the speaking of German, the reading of German, and thinking in German. .To.a reasonable extent, that.is the thing which America is doing or must do. And this des not apply:alone to German, but to any alien, tongue indjpractice. We cannot, quoting Judge Amidon, ny here in America. Jittle islands of foreign- anthexpect to have-a united, effective nation: e-must-be Americans, for América first.“ a the Townley regitne hopes to perpetuute it- s@lf by preaching un-Aniericanism it is merely, a sign of the beginning of the énd; for, no matter:to what brand of foreignness this appeal be made, it' will not carry weight with the honest American of foreign birth or antecedents: For the honest former alien, when he took his oath of allegiance to.the American flag, did it without reservation. He ts American because he loves and believes in America. He has renounced fealty to the father- land, whatever land that may have been, and he has adopted a new and better land, and for that land and its institutions he will,stand firm against any preaching f secess: é fe The state press is fi ith neve turning soldiers ‘whose:,parents .orx grandparer were iia Germany. : These boys, wh: have served their country in the highest 'sensé, their fathers and mothers and their neighbors, have given anew such pledge of their Americanism. that we cannot doubt their fealty. It is an insult for anyone to say or to think that they can be alienat- ed from America by the preaching of American- ism. We consider these men and women Americans ; we think of them as Americans and talk to them as Americans, and only as such will we regard them until we have better evidence than Mr. Townley has yet furnished us that we are mis- taken. arents * * * HA KISS ’EM OR SPANK ’EM? We voice a contrary opinion to this: s “The mother who cuddles and kisses her child, when he cries, should be punished by law.” So asserts Dr. John B. Watson, professor of psychology at Johns Hopkins University, Balti- more, Md. He goes on: ; “Yes, mother love is the most beautiful thing in the world, but it is at the same time most harmful.” Maybe the learned professor knows what he is talking about, but we think he doesn’t. The professor had in mind “spoiled babies.” And you can spoil a baby by letting it have its own way regardless of what it should or should not do. But fathers, ‘aunts, and grandfathers are .even more to blame for “‘spoiled babies.” In all our varied experience with criminals, big and_ small, we have yet to run across one whose family history showed that he had been a “spoiled baby.” On the other hand— Woodrow Wilson has said: “There was nothing which could more quickly cure my battered thumb or bumped forehead than to run to mother and cuddle up in her arms; two kisses and the pain was forgotten.” . * * * * The reason we can’t understand statesmanship is because a senator will favor giving a half-devel- oped race the right to govern itself, and vote to deny the same right to American women, [win THE EDITORS | A TINY AIR TURBINE The air turbine of I. T. Nedland, a North Dak- ota artisan, is less than 1-20th of an inch in diame- ter, and weighs only 1-5th of a grain troy. It has. eight parts, the casing being of gold and the motor 6.00 of steel. The motor, which has six slots, has a diameter of 0.032 inch; the shaft, 0.007 inch. Mounted on a hollow pedestal, the turbine is driv- en at a high rate of speed by a jet of compressed air entering at the bottom. This seems to be the tiniest of all motors, being smaller than the same maker’s electric motor and steam engine, each of which is reputed to be the smallest machine of the kind in the world.—Nebraska State Journal. * * * * HOW HAVE THEY CHANGED? Why have not Kositzky, Langer, Hall, Olson, Mees and Nagel a right to think their, own thoughts and choose their own stand in politics, now/as well 28 when they were elected and re- elected by Townley’s league? Men of forty, fifty or sixty years do nétaWhange their character. Didn’t Townley and his followers select these men on account of their worth and character and known. honesty? If things have come to pass in such a way that they must protest in the name of honesty, political decency and good sense, should this make‘them fools, knaves and traitors? Seems as if there is'‘no Virtue at all outside of the Townley camp.—Marmarth Mail. * * * * WHEN A FELLER NEEDS A FRIEND The Recorder-Post is being published this week under great difficulty, as a result of an accident that befell our;foreman and machine operator, C. M. Fallows. While feeding the cylinder press running off the last issue, Mr. Fallows accidentally got his arm cailght between the cylinder and cross rod, causing deep and painful lacerations just be- low the elbow on the inside of the arm.

Although }in the capital state paper of Nebraska, is ‘interesting “for the comparisons which it offers between the hail ingur- ance» statutes of} two. great: farming states, one under the domination of A.

Townley cooks up ‘for the farmers where he has control and that which the farmers enact for themselves where they do their own thinking and voting, than-a comparison of the hall insurance law passed at the Jate ses- sion of the North Dakota legislature and the NebraskatJaw’ on the same subject. as nassedtin 1917 and: per- fected in’ 1919. 99 4 { Nebraska farmers, under their stat. ute, are receiving ‘better nrotection than those of Noth Dakota will vet from the law which Townley had drafted and nassed here. A great, deal more noise has deen made over the North Dakota’ act than about the one in the Cornhusker state. Taat is because the nonpsrtisan league, needs the advertising. |The facts how- ever. are all to the advantage of Ne- braska. i Singita Take, in tho first: nlace. the matter of exnense for administration. In Ne- braska, the work is all done by the state insurance department, county ‘clerks, county treasurers and precinct assessors without creating a single new salaied job, excent the necessary ad- juster in each county. The law al- lows ‘the jnsurance @epartmen t to snend $1,800 a year, and no mote, for office exnense charged against the hail insurance fund: No, money is prid out of the state. treasury to: support the department.” a“ An, Army of Jobholders, But in North: Dakota ‘the legisla- ture followed the Townley idea of ereating a manager, a‘chief inspector. deputy insnectors. ete., to carry out, the law.

Honor is due not only to the winners, Lieuten- ant Commander Read and his associates, but. to the others who tried and met with misfortune. Their ill luck and not their fault beat them. To fly across the Atlantic was a stunt; it has not yet become a practical achievement, though it may be soon. The record shows that no time was gained by a trip that was begun at Trepassey, N. F., May 16 and ended at Lisbon May 27. There were eleven days and ten hours, the shortest pas- sage on record between Europe and America by steamship. That comparison takes no account of the weeks of preparation and waiting for favor- able weather before starting. : Yet it would be possible, by employing relays of seaplanes, and men, making a station at the Azores, to complete the journey from continent to continent inside of one day, provided the weather was favorable. £ A great physician or a famous lawyer may cross by the air route one of these days to serve some one who can pay for taking the chance, and the fee will be as big as the story. . ~ But the end of this wonder no one can foresee. The possibilities of the dirigible balloon are yet to be determined. It may furnish the steady and reliable ship for trans-oceanic air flight.—Min- neapolis Journal, ~ servient to Townley, A fund of $5 000 was avpronriated by the Jegisla- |ture to pay salaries and genera) ex- penses, with the proviso that it; will be repaid after 1920, out of the premium receipts. In-Nebraska, farmers who want ‘hail insurance take it and those who don’t think’ they need it. ure not compelled to. Under the North Dakota law, you get the insurance unless ‘you file a written statement, that:you. don't ‘want it: If you do file’such'a statement,/the state Bogs ahead | ‘anywayand ‘taxes your tillable land at the rpte of 3 cents pe ‘racre—$4.80. per quarter seetion— which is assessed as. 4 special tax, re- gardless. under the Jaw and secure its ‘“ene- fits.” The tax goes on every acre of “tillable” land, ‘even’ though it .may be in pasture or forage crops not sub- ject to hail damage. ‘Compare this . with the “Nebraska Jaw, under, which a :farmer ,himself decides, whether he wants. the’ insur- Fance, .an just ‘how ‘much. and)! what acreagaihe wants it, an@,if hey does not, want /anyiat all, he: ‘doesn’t’ pay a blooming. cent. If he should come under Townley's. beneficient .regime, he would shave to kiss $4.80° good: bye, every year, * Rates ‘Higher, Benefits Lower: That is not all/the story. The Ne- braska rates for ‘hail.insurancé in. the eastern, middle - and’ western “zones (classified according to’ Hazard); are 25, 40 and 60 cents with 1-2 cent: per acre additional as the assessor's com- mission, while the. maximum ‘loss _al- lowed is $10. This is at the rate of 2 1-2,4 and 6 per.cent premiums, The North| Dakota law allows the insurance commissioner to levy an as- sessment up to 50 cents per ‘acre on all land where crops are insured, This is additional to the 3 cents per acre tax on tillable lands. .There is every possibility that the maximum rate will ‘be levied. If so, the total cost to the farmer would be 53 cents per acre. If the assessment is not quite up to the maximum, the farmer willi'still pay enough to make up the difference un- der the 3-cent tax on’ acreage that he does not care to insure. Benefits under the. North Dakota statute cannot exceed $7 per acre, and may be as low as 70.cents if, the, dam- age from hail ig,only,, partials, With 53 cents per ,acro premium charge, and the chance, of,getting back only $7 for total loss, this means a 'rate of 7 1-2 per cent which North- Dakota farmers must pay, as compared with 2 1-2, 4 and-6 per cent in Nebraska. In other words the probable North Dakota rate is 300 per cent of the Ne- braska eastern zone rate, 187 1-2 per cent of the middle zone rates, and 125 per cent of the western zone rates, tiem tte etd ttm ntnnntomens ment manent ett esto me ome mms mm mmm dB For this, you elect to come, an tinnpttbetamntsmetiomntsmntimmtscmnnsmnfe where the benefits are taken into ac- count. The Nebraska farmer in specially hazardous territory may, if’ he choose ipay 50 cents higher premium and ob- tain a correspondingly higher bene fit of $15 per acre for total loss of crops. But the North Dakota farmer can't get more than $7 an acre under any circumstances. Surplus Under Nebraska. In 1918, the Nebraska law. was ad- ministered’ at a (total ‘expense. of about $5,000, including! the per diem and expenses of county adjusters. All losses. were met, and the state had a surplus of more than‘ $20,000 left'‘on' hand as a nest. egg for this year. This’ is one of the direct bepefits the farm- er received from an economical ad- ministration. Townley’s state government,. in North Dakota is not noted for sav- ing the. people’s -monev. ‘The ap- varent object here is. to grind out jobs for the Jeague’s agents. so that the lengué will he relieved of paying their salaries and the burden transferred to the taxpayers.’ That is’ why $50,- 000 was appropriated for tle. hail’ in- partment’ here. e Y.
