THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) ep ———_$-_——— THE HOMECOMING iO “OUR BOY Ss” “God save our noble men.’ “Bring them safe home again,” we sang during the dark and bloody days when our best and brav- est and dearest were far overseas, prepared to die that liberty and freedom might live. And God heard our prayer, and He did bring them safe home again, most of them, keeping only} a relative few “over there” to sanctify the battle- fields of France. And tomorrow we're to have a homecoming for | “Our Boys” who came back, and the day followi ing | and the next day we're to have the honor of enter- | taining the first state convention of the great! patriotic organization ch has grown out of the} successor to; i our fathers , to play an} our country. war—the american Legion, pcg and grandfathe even greater pa’ Wars are not w lds. 5 The bors wi so well t rescue our al detente France.

Editor Morris, after) bursting into the Associated Press with a state-| ment denying everything, calmly ignores the) scandal in the columns of his own periodical. Therefore, it is quite possible that good Nonpasti- sans in other states who “take in” nothing but} President Townley’s fireside companion, may know nothing whatever of this temporary embarrass- ment which their great and noble chief and his equally noble, if not nobler, friends are undergoing in North Dakota. ROT OF PUREST RAY Whenever the Townley organization begins taking impeachment of official enemies, you may jot it down in your note-book that “the boys” are merely whistling to keep their courage up. The time has gone by when Boss Townley could impeach anybody or anything in this state. When Boss Townley goes to the mat with Bill Langer and Tom Hall and Carl Kositzky for a finish fight Boss Townley will go to his. finish, and no one knows it better than he and the more or less scholarly gentlemen who edit his NEW SDADETS for him. Townley’s throne is wobbling. He may suc- ‘ceed in propping it up again for a spell. He has an almost supernatural ability to crawl out of tight ‘places.

' And because, together with everything else ithat we know Townley to be and suspect him of _|being, we must admit that he is a rather wise old (bird, we shall also contend that Mr. Townley isn’t at that particular moment, seriously thinking ‘impeaching even the lowliest, window wiper st Seana ee WE SHOULD WELCOME THE DOMINIONS Senatorial statesmen who are the most exer- cised about those five votes for the British domin- ions are also the same statesmen who talk the most about freedom for Ireland—not to, mention India. ‘ These same senators. verge on Anglophobia when talking of the power and indirect influence of the British empire. These same senators are most fond of harking back to the spirit of ’76 and recalling our own struggle for independence. Now isn’t it a bit strange that they should pro- fess to be so supremely jealous of our own sover- eignty, so extremely glad that WE achieved inde- pendence of the British king and the parliament in London, and at the same time should oppose AUTOCRACY and practical INDEPENDENCE for the British dominions. Representation of the dominions in the league assembly, their separate signatures to the treaty of peace and its ratification by their parliaments to all effects and purposes made them independent nations, so far as their relations to the outside world are concerned. Their tie to the British em- pire remains only one of sentiment, with a vague quasi legal relation to the British crown, which in practical effect amounts to nothing but a cere- monial and social bond. Both colonials and Britishers understand this. jIt was only after hard fighting that the colonials, |g {led by Sir Robert Borden, Canadian premier, suc- ceeded in attaining this independent diplomatic The recent de-|" bates in the Canadian parliament and the docu- ments and correspondence made public there by | Borden show that the old school tory imperialists jin the British foreign office and other,,branches of Downing St. opposed every step towatd colonial | Tepresentation. As Americans, as heirs of ’76, is it not our | proper part to welcome and assist our kinsmen in achieving by peaceful political means the self-gov- ernment and independence what we ourselves had to fight for? But the anti-league ‘senators seem ‘to have been betrayed into the inconsistency of supporting the tory theory and forcing the do- minions back into a position of dependence by denying them representation in the league and re- 7 fusing to acknowledge them as political entities. Whenever government gets wrought up about _ | the cost of living, it investigates the sugar situa- tion. Where did statesmen get the idea that sugar is our chief article of diet? Every once in a while we are informed that Finnish troops or some other troops have wiped out whole divisions of Bolshevists. Lenine’s fol- lowers must be allied to guinea pigs. Professor Ogburn has a hunch that $1500 is the minimum living income for the man with a ‘family of four. This is true except for the fact |that many thousand of our families are living on less. ' ee eee THE FARMERS’ MONEY The league papers are trying to make great capital out of the fact that the receiver of the Scandinavian-American bank at Fargo is receiving much money from farmers who are paying up those post-dated checks. ‘hat does not get them anywhere. It is just like being held up by a high- wayman with a revolver pushed under.your nose —you give up your money under stress ‘and when {you are compelled to do so, not because ‘you want ‘to do it. That is why the receiver of the bank is getting so much money—the post-dated check | financiers are compelled to make good these securi- jties in order to get the bank opened up again. So that if Mr. Langer does nothing more he has done much good in making one financial institution col- lect bad paper and make its institution good.— Valley City Times-Record. STANDING BY THEIR TOWNS It is a cause of much gratification to note.the little weekly papers that come to this office from over the west slope each week, how, though robbed of the right to publish any legal notices are stick- ing to the game, and are receiving almost without exception loyal support from.the business. men of their home town. In most cases this is generous enough to tide their paper over until this great wrong has been righted. It is noticeable too that the league organs as a rule are not carrying the business of merchants and business men, not as they would have you be- lieve, because they are “farmers’ papers.” They are farmers’ papers only so far as the farmers put up the cash to buy them and keep them running, the farmer not having anything to say as to how it shall run, or cannot even hire‘a manager, They are not patronized because the business man loves a sense of justice, and he recognijes in the Brinton bill that robbed their little newspaper of a class of business that is justly his, a rank steal, a polit- ical robbery, and he won't lend his influence to such, Papers in the small towns on the branch lines, as well as on the main line are for the most part carrying the bulk of the merchants’ advertising, and a lot more than they formerly carried.—Man. ats done splendid work and never ae 1 BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNB IF THIN AND “NERVOUS, THY “PHOSPHATE A French solentist he has discovered an organle phosphate which should be a very effective remedy for weak nerves, sleeplessness, ‘thinness and lack of strength, energy and vigor. Its substance is described by special- ists as Identical in composition -with certain vital elements naturally found in brain and nerve cells ‘and one which when taken into the human system is aul converted into healthy living ue, This phosphate is already widely known among druggists in this country as Bitro- Phosphate and some physicians claim that through its use strength, energy, vigor and nerve force are frequently in- creased in two weeks’ tim: Dr. Frederick Kolle, Bdltor of New York Physicians’ “Who's Who,” says it should be prescribed by every doctor and used in every hospital in the United States. As there are a great variety of so-called phosphates, those who wish to test this substance should. be sure to get the genuine Bitro-Phosphate. ~ ———————_——— GUYER GANG ON WAY BACK FROM SOUTH DAKOTA (Continued From Page One) gang. Even “Moustache Maude” Black, a banditirini by her own confession and an alleged member of the gang, did not escape, When Maude discovered that during her absence in the Bur- leigh county jail, where she was heid pending a trial for cattle thieving, the gang had invaded her own sacred’ pre- cincts in Sioux county, “Hell began poppin’,” ag Maude told Attorney Ge1- eral Langer between puffs on her cig- arette. The interview between “Moustache Maude” and the attorney general touk place in his office a number of weeks ago. That gave him his first clue as to the identity of ‘the alleged Guyer gang. He followed this up with a con- ference With state’s attorneys from ull the Slope counties which had suffered from cattle rustlers’ depredations. There were present at this meeWg State’s Attorneys Cain\ of Stark coun- ty, Johnson of Sioux, Lembke of Grant, now a judge in his district; Garberg of Adams, Murray of Hettinger, Fleming of Bowman; Pomerance of Billings; Brownlee of ‘Slope, and Johngon of Bill- ings. These law enforcement officers gath- ered quietly in Attorney General Lan- ger’s office. Nothing was said of their coming, nor of What they did here. Ten cattle rustlers had just been grab- bed in Stark, Billings and McKenzie counties through the activities of tne state’s attorneys. in those shires,, and confessions and convictions had been obtained. The Guyer gang was lying) Jow, in its nine-section “ranch” below Mobridge, in South Dakota, MONTANA THIEF CATCHERS. The immediate -result of. this confer- ence was the employment of a'corps of skilled western cattle-thief catchers from the Montana Cattle Growers’ .as- sociation. Notice,was sent to insyec- tors of brands at all the large stovk- |yards drawing cattle from this district to be on the. watch for the, missing brands. Every resource at the com- mand of the attorney general and of the state's attorneys, of the several counties which had been affected by the cattle rystlers’ depredations was centered upon the capture of the most daring and successful band of cattle thieves which has operated in the northwest since the days of line fences. Operatives of jthe Montana ‘Cattle Growers’ association, representing themselves to be men to whom ull brands looked alike, accidentally fell! in with the Guyer outfit.’ ‘They met every test and finally were admitted, it is al- leged, to full membership. For weeks they moved back :.and forth with the Guyers, it is alleged, between the Guyer ranch in North Dakota and the big place in South Dakota. They were initiated into secrets of the business; were piloted over almost impassable trails to the Guyers’ most private pasture, in’ the desolate foot- hills 35 miles south of Thunderhawk, in South Dakota, and when the trap was ready they sprang it. FIVE ALREADY ARRESTED. In the trap were faund fiye men whom the operatives believed they had caught with the goods on them,” These were Jack, Ben and Sam Guyer and two allegea employes, now in jail at Mandan, and who are said to have made complete confessions, strengthen- ing the state’s case, Govérnor Norbeck has honored extradition papers ‘issued by Governor Frazier for the return of the three Guyers. taken on their big reserve near Mobridge, on the Grande river, and the alleged rustlers will be immediately arraigned for preliminary hearings in Sioux county, which ig s11d to have been the most common theatre of their alleged crimes. HAD ELABORATE SCHEME. The Guyer gang is alleged to have been operating for eighteen months in its present plant, ‘It is said to have had an elaborate scheme. The ‘home ranch” on. the Grande river consisted of nine sections, 5,880 acres, a small principality in itself, under fence. Here the Guyers are said .to have engaged in legitimate cattle raising to an extent sufficient to cover up their alleged illi- cit traffic in strange brands. The range included four separate pasture3, each distinct from the other, and when anything suspicious. occurred at one pasture, the cattle were driven at night to another, it is said, Cattle wearing brands which the Guyers did not own, it ig alleged, are said to have bean herded across thé state line principal'y at night to be lost on the 5,880-acre range on the Grande until the time was ripe for marketing them, TRACED TO ST. LOUIS. Cattle bearing brands which an alien iron had not wholly Succeeded in oblit- erating are said’ to have heen traccd as far as St. Louis, whither State’s At-| torney oJhnson of! Sioux county was re- cently called by the inspector of brandy at the St. Louis stockyards.’‘The cattle were identified, and on the basis of this and other evidence ‘there was made the rafd which resulted.in the recent arrest of ten men in Stark, McKenze and Billings. It is believed that the op-/ erations of the Guyer gang have be2 equally wide-spread. “I believe we have made a big kiy- ing,” said Attorney General Langer “ day, “and I wish to ppblicly acknowi- edge ie cooperation which this office has had at all times from the state's attorneys of the Slope.
