There’s no question that the ladies’ hearts are in the right place, but economically their reasoning is unsound. There’s going to be spring chicken and cake and pie and home-made pickles ’n’ everything, and we’d like to pay $100 for the photograph of any normal American boy who under these cir- cumstances cannot account for at least twice as much grub as any average adult. = You can always tell whether a man is driving} his first or second car. If it is his first, he wears gauntlets. ATTACKING THE FARMERS Kate Richards O’Hare is sent to federal prison for likening the mothers of North Dakota soldier boys to brood sows, and the Townley press cries, “The farmer is being attacked.” A. C. Townley and his principal lieutenant are convicted by a farmer jury in Minnesota for dis- loyalty, and the Townley press cries, “The farmers are being attacked.” A North Dakota bank to which depositors have entrusted hundreds of thousands of dollars is held unworthy of that trust and closed for the protection of its depositors, and the Townley press, controlled by the mien who have principally profit- ed from this frenzied financing cries, “The farm- ers’ movement is being attacked.” How long, O Lord, how long will the sane North Dakota farmer continue to stand for such rot? Austria has not yet adopted democratic meth- ods. Food is scarce and high, and no one has thought to appoint an investigating committee. THE BENEFITS OF DEMOCRACY Bismarck has another sample of the benefits of democracy of the Townley-Kate O’Hare-Lenine- Trotzky-Mills type. The townley state govern- ment has taken over the insuring of all public buildings, principally, it seems, for the reason that by so doing more public funds are concen- trated where they can be used by those who have access to them. Naturally, after reading the Townley press, one would expect the cost of in- surance to be reduced to a minimum, for there are no agents and none of those hated middlemen to pay. In actual practice what do we find? We dis- cover Bismarck’s insurance premiums boosted $737.59 per annum, from about $300 a year to more than $1,000 per year. That is Townleyized democracy! That is socialistic efficiency! i ee Now that Lower California has closed its doors to Japanese, Chinese and Asiatics, Carranza may have cause to regret that he doesn’t recognize the Monroe doctrine. THEIR VACATION Two prominent merchants, a doctor and a law- yer went fishing together way up in the Canadian ‘woods. What do you suppose they took with them in addition to the usual camping paraphernalia? Two books. And, they read them—OUT LOUD. One of the merchants, 55 years of age, appar- ently enjoyed the books as much as the lawyer in his early forties. No, these men weren’t freaks or “low-brows” or fanatics. Just human beings and nothing proves their humanness more than the above inci- dent, \ They went to the woods to get away from civilization. A copy of Shakespeare would have kept them too close to what they wished to avoid. The 10 cent novels appealed to the savage part of their nature that took them into the woods for rest and recreation. We're all savage with only a thin coat of the varnish of culture hiding it. From financial circles in Vienna comes the complain that the crown is) becoming almost worthless. That’s nothing. Think what has hap- pened to the good American dollar. DANIEL BOONE The more we read of history and of biography, | the more convinced we are that hardships make the man. For instance, did you know that Daniel Boone lost all his land in Kentucky through a twist of the law—and when he was 65 years of age? That he also lost his Missouri land, near St. Louis, when Louisiana was sold to the United States by Spain in 1803? His sterling qualities and worth as a path- finder were finally rewarded by congress in a gift of 850 acres of land in the west on which he spent his last years. Add to his financial setbacks his loss of friends and even a son in fighting with the Indians. It isn’t much wonder that Kentucky is proud of this man who did so much in advancing the in- terests of the white man. Read this life history if you want some real thrills. Pershing says that the American “at any crisis of his life’ feels that he is master of his own destiny. Not if he is feeding a family at present prices. A news service informs us concerning the steel strike that “there were no signs of serious dis- order except that seven persons were shot in riot- ing.” A little thing like that was hardly worth mentioning. Wilson says that failure of the league will be the death warrant of American children. And yet we stick to our original belief that the league idea will win in spite of all the argument advanced in its favor. af WITH THE EDITORS | $e THE KOSITZKY DECISION The decision of the state supreme court up- holds Auditor Karl Kositzky in regard to the transfer of funds at Bismarck. The auditor con- tended that he could not take money from any but the general fund to pay salaries with so most of the August payroll was held up for lack of funds. that must be taken out of some other funds and put into the general fund which relieves the situa- tion that much, but when you have a payroll of some $80,000 a month and only $13,000 to pay with and other bills amounting to two or three hundred thousand dollars waiting to be paid and no money you can easily guess that the state of the treasury is not in a very healthy condition. — Valley City Times-Record. THE VISIT OF WOOD Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood has been up to Bis- marck looking over Fort Lincoln and we under- stand that he has recommended it to be used as a permanent military post. This post has not been used for this purpose for a number of years and if it is opened’ up again and several companies of reg- ulars sent there to remain permanently there will be some social activities opening up for the capital city that will put a lot of life into that old town. By the way some of the politicians sounded out the general and while he did not say that he was a candidate for the presidential nomination he inti- mated that he was in a receptive mood. He is a mighty good man but there will’ be several others who are also receptive candidates. General Wood was called back to Omaha suddenly on account of the race riots. He is in command of the central division and has the handling of the troops which are being used to patrol Omaha.—Valley City Times-Record. NOT WANTED Perhaps it is not easy to say what will bring success to the labor peace conference. Charity will help; vision is absolutely essential ; statesman- ship of the highest order is called for; apprecia- tion of the common destiny, the common interests, the common problems and the common rights of all mankind is indispensable. But it is easy enough to say what should be barred from that conference as prejudicial if not fatal to the harmony and unity necessary for suc- cess. Among these things are: Politics, Class bigotry. Class prejudice and class hatred. The doctrine that the struggle between “capi- tal” and “labor” is irreconcilable. Blindness to the other fellow’s viewpoint and deliberate ignorance of the other fellow’s troubles, The court has decided that there is some $13,000 | the Frazier for president club has! | been launched, with no less a notable BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE gn ee IN THE DAY’S __ |! | NEWS | ot Se PRATER FOR FRAZIER CLUB LAUNCHED Hear ye, hear ye, all good citizens, | patriot at its head than William J.| Prater. Under’such auspices the club no doubt will’go far. The initial meeting of the Bismarck Frazier for president club was held at the local) league hotel and was attended by 70| leading progressives, the Courier- News informs us. The Townley organ doesn’t state what the 157 other league state employes in Bismarck were doing that evening. “After the organization had been perfected, Governor Frazier was sent for,” remarks the Courier-News. All of which was correct and natural and in keeping with Mr. Towuley’s policies where Mr. Frazier is concerned. SITES FOR MILL IS ,@: w OFFERED LEAGUE .' rae General E. A. Williams has offered the industrial commission as a gift, forty acres lying between Bismarck and Fort Lincoln on the government spur, to-be used as a site for a state- owned flour mill. General Williams is one of North Dakota’s oldest living statesman, having served in early territorial legislatures. VERY INTERESTING . IF TRUE “During this. current month the Courler-News expects to give hin opportunity to bring at least 1,788 new libel suits,” says the Fargo organ of Mr. A. C. Townley, in commenting upon Attorney General Langer’s libel suit for $50,000. The Courier- News uo doubt speaks advisedly when it suggests that it may take the at- torney general several months to collect after he gets ‘his judgment?! With the doors. of the. Scandinavian- American bank closed at this moment, this naive admission is. particularly pertinent. y HEAVINGS TO KATE, LISTEN TO THIS: What a dignified thing politics haa become in North Dakota. Mr. A. C. Townley twice forced upon a whole Tot of North Dakota people who did- n't like Bill Langer his services as attorney general, Then Bill told Arc he couldn’t continue to play the game Art's way, and this is the way Art speaks of Bill now: “LANGER TOO), RESPONSIBLE FOR MURDER: An- other murder in North Dakota has been laid at the door of Attorney General William A, Langer’s office.” That's the way the Nonpartisan Leader starts off a story about the recent killing in the McGregor , pool hall, Along down to the bottom of the story we Jearn that the killing oe gee 0001011011012 0:10 i rsGrrerrOrOnrBiOrOrOrOnOrOr One INDIGESTION The stubborn refusal to give as well as take— for inevitably, if this conference succeeds, both sides must concede something, perhaps much. The idea that labor can be put back in its old Position of total subservience to the whims of em- ployers. ; The idea that it is not worth while trying to improve relations between wage-payers and wage- earners because the wage system should be abol- on ished and some fantastic scheme of syndicalism or bolshevism put in its place, In fact, the fewer preconceived judgments and old prejudices the members of the conference take with them, and the more determination there is to grasp a chaotic industrial disorder fearlessly and Nothing can happen without pleasing some- body. Even defeat of the league would please a few senators, the devil, ‘and everybody east of the Rhine ——_—_-—___-—__— bring order, with justice, out of it, the better the chance for a success that will mean more to the future of America than creat hat could be GOES, GONE! “‘Pape’s Diapepsin’’ at once fixes Your Sour, Gassy, Acid Stomach Stomach acidity causes indigestion!

President Hagen of the Scandiavian- American bank indicates in an inter- view in the Courier-News that he’s really grieved over the closing of his institution. “I am in the dark as to what this charge is based on,” said President Hagen of his arrest. Some- one might lend brother Hagen a read- ing glass, or slip over a copy of some other newspaper than the Fargo Town- We fear that Mr. Hagen doesn’t diversify enough in his read- ing. Incidentally he remarks that the Scandinavian-American was making money. It must have been. THOSE BAD INTERESTS AT IT AGAIN From Mr. Hagen of the ‘Scandina- vian-American bank we learn that those bad “Interests” are at it again. they’re trying to wreck the farmers’ credit by closing his bank, which wag'charged with nothing worse than making three quarter- million dollars worth of loans without what the state bank examiners, ap- pointed under a farmer administra- tion, regarded as proper security.
