When the “outs,” by sudden, illegal methods drive out the “ins” it is called a “coup d’etat.” English speaking nations have usually escaped such changes. They’ are not apt to come where democratic institutions permit legal changes. Such sudden shifts of power touch but little the lives of the masses. People eat, drink, work, are married, born and carried to the grave during, and after a “coup d’etat” much as before. Only poli- ticians and officeholders are directly affected. Deep vital currents of human life do not change easily. These run back of human history and con- tinue under all governments. Industrial processes went on through the French Terror with little change. ‘The marvel of the Great: War is that closely as it was bound to industry it has been so slow to produce great industrial changes. Yet a large cult is blind to this and is seeking an industrial “coup d’etat.” They hope through a sudden violent change in legal relations to transfer the industrial product. . . Great industrial revolutions in the past have transferred ownership, management and product from class to class. But such changes have never been sudden. There has never been an industrial “coup d’etat.” Attempts at such changes have more often stopped industry than transferred its emoluments. The most notable of such attempts was on Aug. 4, 1789, the “night of the Great Renuncia- tion,” by the French States General. All classes surrendered their privileges. Feudalism was ‘abolished. ‘ F ire The world has never seen another like scene. Contemporary observers say the 1700 deputies were “like so many madmen.” The Te Deum was sung in the churches to celebrate the birth of the new era. One deputy wrote that night, “In ten’ hours we have done what might have gone on for months.” They thought they had accomplished a social and industrial “coup d’etat.” Then writes Carlyle: ‘To the Parisian com- mon man, meanwhile, one thing remains incon- ceivable; that now when the Bastile is down and French liberty restored, grain should continue so dear. Our Rights of Man are voted, feudalism and tyranny abolished ; yet behold we stand in queue.” And when they had waited in queues at the shop doors no food was forthcoming. It reads like a chapter of recent history in Rus- sia, Hungary or Germany. Enthusiastic Ameri- can travelers tell of marvelous changes decreed in afew hours. Then the people cry out to the slower evolving nations, “feed us or we starve.” Decrees do not raise wheat in Russia in the twentieth century any more than they did in France in the eighteenth. Neither do general strikes, riots nor proclamations operate factories. Great fundamental industrial changes are coming, are taking place. But they are coming as the seasons come and not as the tornado or the earthquake. SINCERITY AND HORSE SENSE A Salvation Army lassie told us that when she was sent to Europe the only orders given her were, “Be sincere and use horse sense.” Two qualities that will carry you through anything, any time and anywhere. We admire sincerity even in those with whom we differ most. We take our hats off to the peo- ple who believe absolutely in the things they are doing. And, no quality is so quickly discovered as insincerity. Horse sense is little more than letting the other fellow hold the reins while you do the work. He’s happy because he thinks he’s running things and you’re happy because you are getting the thing done. In other words, horse sense is not worrying about the credit for any accomplishment. It is looking only for results, There is “no desire to extend the Plumb plan beyond those who work with their hands.” In former years, railroading required some head work. Baker thinks the five-cent street car fare is a “psychological necessity.” Isn’t there some way to apply psychology to shoes? If Kolchak falls, we may expect considerable official conversation to the effect that Lenine ian'Ch Fl olb-aemteier al. 1The New York World, > | WITH THE EDITORS | _ THE PIRATES WIN © Miss Nielson, largely through the efforts of the women, was elected superintendent of schools of North Dakota, but the league bosses through trickery and dastardly manipulation have taken away all her powers, and today she is superintend- ent in name only. How the women of the state must love the N. P. league? Now the legal publi- cations have been selected by the bosses, and league papers and friends of the league have all been given a plum. All edited in St. Paul, these country rubber-stamps will appeal mightily to the independent farmers? The pirates win today. To- morrow, when the farmers have worn holes in their pockets, digging up money for exorbitant taxes, and have discovered whose clutching mitts have been squezing them for the last few years, the speed of the Eastman “get-away” will be noth- ing compared to the electric time of the socialistic misleaders as they fly for safer climes with their grips of grafted gold—F argo Post. REVOLUTION BY ULTIMATUM The plan of the railroad brotherhoods for tak- ing over the railroad properties of the country is a straightout adventure into Soviet economics. It contemplates collective ownership, but class opera- tion and control, which is at the foundation of the Soviet system. The American people, through their govern- ment, are to buy the railroads from the private owners and turn these properties over to the rail- road employes to manage and operate. In con- sideration of an investment of approximately $20,- 000,000,000 the government is to appoint one- third of the directors, and the public is to share in such savings in the cost of operation as may re- main after the employes have paid themselves what they think their services ought to be worth. The spirit in which the program is put forth may be inferred from a statement made by B. M. Jewell, acting president of the railroad employes’ depart- ment of the American Federation of Labor, in which he said that if President Wilson’s sugges- tion to congress was carried out “we will tie up the railroads so tight that they will never run again if that legislation is passed.” It might have been Trotzky himself speaking to a bourgeoisie that had offered mild and academic objections to being despoiled. Before any railroad plan can be worked out, one highly essential fact must be established— namely, whether the sovereign power of the Unit- ed States is vested in government and‘in the American people or whether it is vested in the railroad brotherhoods. For three years now the brotherhoods have as- sumed that the sovereign power was vested in them, and congress has provided them with excel- lent reasons for that assumption. When the rail- road employes in the critical period of the summer of 1916 demanded an eight-hour day and threat- ened a general strike, President Wilson sent a mes- sage to congress in which he urged that the eight- hour day be made the basis of work and wages, but he made four other proposals, one of which An amendment to the existing federal statute which provides for the mediation, conciliation and arbitration of such contro- versies as the present by adding to it a pro- vision that in case the methods of accom- modation now provided for should fail, a full public investigation of the merits of every such dispute should be instituted and completed before a strike or lockout may be lawfully attempted. Congress refused to enact this legislation be- cause the labor leaders objected to it, and now we have a situation in which a labor leader can threaten to “tie up the railroads so tight that they will never run again” if congress presumes to pass an act to which the brotherhood autocracy objects as unequal to its imperative demands. The railroad brotherhoods have embarked upon a policy that even the least conservative of them must admit is economically revolutionary, If their scheme of nationalization under class control is to be carried out in respect to railroads, nobody can draw the line where it shall stop until all industry is under Soviet direction. Yet they are not put- ting their program out as a matter to be discussed and deliberately considered by the American peo- ple. They are trying to force the issue and bring about a revolution by ultimatum. In the last three years the railroad employes have received hundreds of millions of dollars in wage increases for which the general public is paying. As a reward for its generosity the coun- try is to be taken by the throat, and choked into submission if the most complicated economic issues that have ever confronted it are not-settled forthwith. If there is any difference between that kind of arrogance and the arrogance of the Ger- man general staff in July, 1914, we should like to know what it is. The legislative branch of the United States government long ago degenerated into a congress of cowards. It may prove to be as subservient to the brotherhoods as it has been to the Anti-Saloon league; but if the American people can be kept forever choked into a state of submission by pri- vate organizations taking over the functions of government, the United States might as well apply for the appointment of a receiver first as last.— called for— { WET RUMOR BOBS UP BUT QUICKLY DIES DRY DEATH Visions of Gin Fizzes, Scotch Highballs, Cocktails and Beer Short-lived One of those “thousand rumors a day” wafted itself gently into The Tribune office last night on the even- ing breezes to the effect that citizens and citizenesses of North Dakota would be able to receive all of the alcoholic liquors they desired between October 1 and January 1, 1920. Visions of an oasis shadowed with gin rickey bushes, Manhattan cock- tail shrubbery, pink lady trees ana Scotch highball. vines with a whiskey brook and a lake of gin fizzes in the center of the joyous spot, flashed across the mind. Once more ‘‘Here’s how” would be heard, and “What’s yours?” would greet close friends. The festive board would resume its once proud station in life and throats no longer would go unslacked, nor would once plentiful cellars be visited with such ceremony and eclat. Rumor Perforated But sad as the truth might be to many of our parched throated citizen- ry, the rumor will not hold water, 2.75 heer, bevo, or anything else of a liquid nature. The express boss, Bob Walton, says the has not received any instructions to receive shipments of intoxicating liquors and Attorney General Langer says he has not been officially noti- fied of the'invasion of that deposed monarch, King Alcohol. The rumor. evidently was éyolved from the: brain of some ‘alcoholic steeped. individual who figured that war time *. prohibition would cease October. 1 and that ‘national prohibi- tion :would Not::go into, effect until January 1, 1920, and the recent ruling of the supreme court ‘that the bone dry law of the state was, unconstitu- tional. ‘But legal authorities point out that it is against the federal sta- tutes tg ship lHquor from one part of the country to a dry state. And from all reports ‘North Dakota is as dry as she was the day she became a state. Which in some sections is pretty dry. And in others, according to swhiskey) tainted rumor, is not so/ arid. Colonel Explains Methods to Obtain Soldier Insignia Victory Button Distribution Made Much More Simple by Recent Order Colonel Lucius C. Kennett, in charge of the recraiting service for this sec- tion with headquarters at Aberdeen was in Bismarck this morning. Three recruits from thg local office were ac- cepted for UnclgSam’s army. Colonel “Bengett announced that through recent {nstructions from the war department, the distribution of Victory buttons’. to. former soldiers was greatly simplified. The follow- ing are the varlous methods for ap- Plicants to secure. these buttons: If living in\Zthe. vicinity of Bis- marck, leave ur yionorable dis- charge with Private John L. Webb in. charge of the local. recruiting office. Then the next time Colonel Bennett Or some other officer ‘visits this. sta tion, they, will leave Victory buttons j:with:: Webb® to be delivered to the | owners of the discharges. The dis- charges: are returned at the same time. a © By Mail, Those who reside too far from Bis- marck to make the trip here for the purpose,can write to the recruiting of- ficer here for a duplicate discharge certificate. This certificate must be filled in with the exact statements ap- pearing on the discharge certificate taken before a notary public and the duplicate certificate mailed to either the Aberdeen, S. D., recruiting sta- tion or the one at Bismarck. Or former soldiers can send their original honorable discharges directly to either of these recruiting stations and the Victory button will be mailed to them, together with their honor- able discharges. This method is not recommended because..of. the danger of losing the certificate in the mail. ; CITY NEWS _| ‘In Attorney General’s Office.

League leaders, on the platform and through their papers, have urged for some time the cause of suffrage, so now, with the question up to them for action, it is generally conceded . that they must take steps to bring North Dakota officially into line by calling the legislature in’ special session to ratify the amendment, a factor in the nation, once the amendment ig ratified, to be ignored, and the Nonpartisan league leaders are well aware of the fact that their only opportunity for showing their hand is in North Dakota, where they hold undisputed: control of the as- sembly. Talk of Impeachment. Through their newspapers the. league leaders have laid the ground for impeachment, proceedings against one or more officials who refused to stand by the Nonpartisan league leg- islative bureau program. Whether or not they will make good their threats is uncertain, but there is a chance that they will attempt to do so. Impeachment of a state officer is ordered by majority vote of the house of representatives, trial being before the state senate, which must cast a two-thirds ballot to convict.

WINNIPEG, MAN, HALF-MILLION IN INTEREST TAKEN BY DAKOTA BANK Watchdog of ‘State Treasury Sees Big Loss on Use of Public Funds As a banker the state of North Da- kota is'some Shylock, in the ‘opinioa of Carl R. Kositzky, watchdog of the state treasury. Mr. N. D. Money Bags, as Mr: Kositzky ‘sees {t, is levying a premium of siore than a_half-million per annum on the state of North Da- kota and its various sub-divisions. It’s like this, says Mr. Kositzky: First the state decrees that all pub- lic funds of the state, the counties, townships, cities, school districts, public boards, state institutions, etc., shall ‘be deposited in the Bank ‘of ‘North Dakota; then the Bank of ‘North Dakota’ says to the state, counties, etc. and etc, you must ac- cept one percent less on daily bal- anes and on certificates of deposit than the private banks have been paying you. As a result of this scheme the state auditor figures that North Dakota loses $24,574.90 per annum in interest on public funds. From private banks the state, says: Mr. Kositzky, has re- reived three percent on daily bal- ances, or an average of $40,724.70 per annum. From the Bank of North Da- kota it will receive but two percent, or $13,574.90 per year less. On the state’s elevator fund of $110,000, which was out on “C. D.’s” upon which private banks .paid five percent, the Bank of North Dakota will pay only four percent, or $11,000 per an- num less. The same plan will apply to the teachers’ retirement funds and other moneys which are more or less permanent and which are’ deposited on time certificates. The workmen’s ; compensation fund, of between $300,- 000 and $500,000 will be largely de- | posited on time certificates, and the ; State’s loss in interest through bank- |ing with the Bank ‘of North Dakota id} Will be from $15,000 per annum up, as Mr. Kositzky sees it. Then there are the counties. Grand Forks loses $2,- 106.86 per annum in interest on its ‘deposits; Morton, $1,579.62; Benson, | $2,152.21, Burleigh, $2,148.69, and a number of others well over $2,000. Mr. Kositzky believes the aver- age for each of the 53 counties will be $2,000, or more than $100,000 per an- num. The people pay.
