THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER, (Established 1878) <p> aS A GREAT GRAND JURY We are advised on perfectly good authority that we are to have a grand jury in Burleigh county. We are told that this grand jury is to be asked to investigate the operations of four state depart- ments at the capitol. We do not know just exactly what these state departments have been doing, but it is said to have been enough and then some. Grand juries would be great things, if it were not for the fact that Bismarck cannot spare any of | its population just now. And grand juries DO have such a depopulating effect. NOW WHAT'S UP Arthur C. Townley publicly announces in The Courier-News, his official mouth-organ, that he’s off Jack Hastings and Thomas Allan Box. for keeps. Not only that, but Mr. Townley apparently, and so far as the uninitiated public is given to know, is doing his best to queer a new game that Thomas Allan and John J. are seeking to swing. Talk about ingratitude of republics—it is noth- ing as compared with that of autocrats! And just what is the public to believe? What have Jack and Tom done, or refused to Seed deviil In what particular does their new scheme dif- fer from the many other deals which they put over while high in the graces of the league and its auto- crat? How, for instance, does it differ from the Val- ley City bank deal? do? WE KNEW IT ALL THE TIME Of course we are going to have a special ses- sion. We knew it all the time. And Mr. Frazier knew it. The trouble with Mr. Frazier is that he cannot separate his personal peeves from his public pro- cesses, He is what he is, and that is Mr. Frazier. A special session may do a great many things for North Dakota or to North Dakota. Our last extraordinary assembly gave us a lage, the country store or the country newspaper. The Courier-News has given the farmer some- thing more to think about. The Townley mouth‘organ would increase the distance to town, to the store, the doctor, the the- atre, the market, for every farmer in North Da- ,| kota. What a lovely state of affairs we would have, with our good roads and rural telephone lines and rural mail delivery and all that, if every farmer in North Dakota had to do a two days” journey to Fargo, for instance, every time he wanted to re- place a cog-wheel on his mower! But that’s the logical development of the Courier-News idea. And, as a matter of fact, why stop at Fargo? The Gate City is only a country village com- pared with Minneapolis, or Chicago, IMPEACHMENTS “Impeach and be damned,” is Carl Kositzky’s terse rejoinder to Czar Townley’s latest threat. That’s all right, so far as Carl is concerned; but what of the public? The public might like to know why it is neces- sary that Mr. Kositzky be impeached. What are his sins of commission or omission, Mr. Townley? So far as we have been able to learn Carl’s most greivous fault is that he has obeyed the law and placed countless hundreds of thousands of dollars appropriated for the public institutions of the state, beyond the reach of your merry squanderers. We know what has happened to the money that Carl didn’t succeed in nailing down hard. / It is gone! SPENT!! FLOOIE!!! And the wild winds listeth not. Is it an impeachable crime under the new de- mocracy, Mr. Townley, simply that a.man shall have done his duty as the statutes decree it and that he shall have saved to state institutions the money consecrated to them? Surely, Mr. Townley, your Beach experience must have taught you that the deepest well will run dry! Certainly, so recently out of a bankrupt court yourself, Mr. Townley, you must have known the goal to which the course taken by your official puppets was leading. And, so far as we can see, the worst fault that you can charge against Mr, Kositzky is that.he stood in your way. If this be true, we echo Mr. Kositzky, with an amendment: “Impeach—and let us see who will be damned.” LABOR. SHORTAGE A foreign laborer returning to his native coun- try and exhibiting the prosperity that he has ac- cumulated here in the past five years will prove a mighty good advertisement for this country. It will soon start emigration this way again. Grave apprehension is just now being ex- pressed as to a posible labor shortage in the United States; for a few weeks ago it was estimated that there were 14,000 foreigners camped out around Hoboken, N. J., awaiting passage abroad, and with like numbers in other ports. All of these were men who performed the labor about steel mills and other industrial plants during county seed and feed bonding act that wouldn’t|the war. work until it had been tinkered. We don’t know what to expect from the session that is coming. (See Cahill for confirmation.) Those who claim to know these people say that | they will be contented with a visit to their native We trust it will give us equal suffrage. The|places; that they will never be satisfied with the women want the vote, and the state needs the women’s vote. We hope it will evolve something for the relief of farmers in the drouth district, who are more or less up against it. We expect it will commit the state to another million dollars’ indebtedness—perhaps more—to stop the hole in the public treasury which indus- trial democracy has made. We know it will give us more oratory from Del Patterson of Donnybrook. Aye, there’s the rub! TELL WITH THE COUNTRY PRESS “Le Roi est mort—soak ’im again,” cries the Courier-News. The Townley mouth-organ is referring to the country press. Not having been present at the recent editorial convention in Mandan, the Courier-News editor does not know that the country press is a very lively corpse. We learn from the Courier-News that the Brinton bill only slightly accelerated a hardening of the arteries of the rural press that has been going on for some time. The old-time country paper has long been doomed, we are informed. ~ “The rural routes, the automobile, and, more than anything else, good roads, have doomed the small country newspaper and the country store and the country village,” says the Courier-News. That’s just what Montgomery-Ward & Co. and Sears-Roebuck and Emma Goldman would have us believe. The mail order houses and the socialists are strong advocates of centralization. “Centralize everything” is their cry. “Tis easier to control human beings in the mass; they think less and stampede more,” But experience and sound common sense have taught us that centralization is not a good thing. It is not a nice thing. *Tis centralization that breeds slums and de- racy_and socialism. _ ROR aaane ese things do’not flourish in t in the country vil- comparative inactivity of their native countires, and that they will soon return to this country ; that much of the exodus is a healthy natural pride in their prosperity and is for the purpose of exhibit- ing it to the relatives, friends and neighbors in the towns from whence they came. i Then it stands to reason that prosperity begets the want of more prosperity—this is generally a human quality—and these foreign laborers will find their way back to the scenes of their first prosperity. native ones here in America have shown—those of us who left our native country town and came to the city to live. With our first surplus we returned to the na- tive town for a week end. We stood around the busiest corner of the pub- lic square on Saturday night dressed in a nut brown suit of clothes and a pair of shoes as yellow as an old-time clarinet. We smoked cigars with belts on them and were liberal in treating patrons of the Busy Bee Candy Kitchen. Such exhibitions of city-acquired)prosperity on the part of some of us may be one explanation as to why boys leave the farm. And we think it will work out this way in the case of the laborer now leaving us. Even if these do not return, the exhibition of their prosperity will inspire far more to come over here than will remain over there. There is no progress without great rag- chewing. It is rumored that Lenine is about to retire. Holland papers please copy. The present aim of England’s Russian policy is to avoid offending the working folks at home.
