Theodore Roosevelt in the adjustment of the coal strike Jnto which the ‘governor’s bungling, or worse, has plunged North Dakota, is not a happy performance. The governor is exerting a power never as- sumed by any of his predecessors, and which the framers of North Dakota’s constitution and the makers of its laws apparently never intended should be so used. The governor is enforcing martial law not as a last resort in the repres- sion of rebellion or the suppression of disorder, but as a bludgeon with which he hopes to compel the mine operators of North Dakota to yield to the demands of Henry Drennan of Billings. There existed when Governor Frazier placed the state under martial law none of the conditions which the constitution and the statutes of North Dakota hold to warrant the suspension of civil lib- erties. There was no disorder, no rioting, no tum- ult, no insurrection, no rebellion, no invasion, nor were any of these things threatened. Leaving their work unwillingly, after a week of propaganda, in which the governor assumed the role of walking delegate for Mr. Drennan of Billings, the organized miners were not engaged in wrecking property or in rioting or other un- seemly demonstrations. They are, a law-abiding, peaceable lot of citizens. Disorder of any kind was not in their thoughts. The governor does not even presume to state that any of these conditions existed or that they were imminent. He merely uses the power which unfortunately may seem to be invested in him as chief executive of our state and commander- in-chief of our military forces to seize by force of arms the private property of a group of citizens who have violated no laws and have shown no disposition so to do. The state, which could not foresee such a pos- sibility, has placed a club in the hands of Gover- nor Frazier, who is using this weapon as it was never intended to be used, and as no other gov- ernor of our state or of any other American commonwealth ever contemplated its use. He has substituted force for civil law, and he has de- prived lawful owners of the possession of private property with no other warrant for such procedure than the fact that he had the power to do it. Autocracy gone mad is not a pleasing thing to view. It is not a cheerful thought for the owners of property that we have at the head of our mili- tary forces a man who will use his supreme power to compel, with force of arms, compliance with the demands of any faction which he may chance to approve. For a parallel one must go to Russia and its soviets. Even in the darkest days of the old world autocracies such a thing as Governor Frazier has done would not have: been counte- nanced. In North Dakota democracy expired at 2 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, November 12. In its place Governor Frazier has set up an armed dictator- ship. The rule of the people has been supplanted by the reign of the soviets. North Dakota’s com- plete kinship with the Russia of Lenine and Trotzky has been established. William Green thinks government should “com- pel” miners and operators to reach an agreement. Apparently there is something in a name, after all. Tf you can’t understand the reasoning of the Reds, consider the man who wrecks a train in order that he may pick, the pockets of the dead. The reason half of us haven’t enough sugar on hand to last until morning is because the other half has enough on hand to last until next summer. When a car driver quits the road ‘and. tries to climb a telephone pole in these arid times people are willing to admit that the fault may have been with the steering gear. curred, and it at this moment, according to Man- great a part of the country hasn’t yet gone crazy and calm yourself, Cameras J WITH THE EDITORS | ee 0 ee ee eee THE GOSPEL OF HATE “Government Is Fanning Flames of Unrest” and “Thrown Into Industrial Warfare on Mre Tech- nicalities” were part of the heading in the Courier- News last week, over a letter sponsored by B. W. Manley, a former joint chairman of the war labor board. “The nation has been thrown into an industrial war on a technicality. This technicality is whether the war is on until the senate ratifies the treaty and the President proclaims peace. On this false issue American industry may be crippled, the public may go cold, and ex-miners’ families may starve. “When the battle has been fought out and the dead and wounded lie stretched out upon the in- dustrial battlefield, no real issue will have been settled—no real victory will have been achieved. “If the nation is to be plunged into industrial war, it should be upon one issue only—are the miners of the country attempting to rob the pub- lic for their own selfish advantages? If they are, no action which the government might take would be too drastic. Industrial highwaymen should be exterminated, no matter how numerous or how rich they may be.” Here are three of the first paragraphs in this diatribe against the government under which that writer has been able to reach a prosperous pinacle and draw a fat salary from the organized body which under its autocratic leaders has done all the “plunging into industrial war” that has oc- ley, is in the midst of a struggle in which he sees “dead and dying.” Upon the false, dishonest foundation of a charge that the mine operators are attempting to rob the public for “their own sel-|yjonal coal committee last night isst fish ends,” he is spreading the doctrine of un-|¢d the following statement as to nev rules covering coal distribution ; qualified greed and extortion on the part of both million and a half which embrace the public. This |; ment. moment that any such majority in America is so besotted as to seek that form of injustice. Even among the 400,000 miners he is with, there are literally thousands, probably tens of thousands, who would never have thought of this strike and the outrageous demands made by the leaders without consulting the men themselves. Only the cowardice of congress in failing to deal with conditions, and the later halt- ing attitude of federal officials, save only the at- torney general, has allowed those leaders to go as far as they have gone until for a brief space brought to a halt by the injunction served out of Judge Anderson’s court. It is idle to waste time and words attempting to refute such lying utterances as these of this man Manley. His twaddle, smacking loudly as it does of sedition and rebellion, of all loss of re- spect for the law he prates about, will be greedily swallowed by his followers, and endorsed by those whose uninformed or distorted views or sym- pathies favor this high handed outrage on the part of a section of organized labor. Even right here in North Dakota there is an element that will accept the picture painted by Manley, and it/ will point with pride, instead of shame, to the attitude of our chief executive in lining up with! those who have openly defied the government. Readers of the Courier-News and its congeners in spreading hatred, envy, unrest and even treason under the guise of what they proclaim as “the | new day,” will either sneer at or refuse to read and inform themselves on the basic principles of a government which can have no possible part in such silly, malicious, false presentments. If it is to come to a matter of “dead and dying,” men like Manley and all of his infamous horde of trouble-makers will be among the early and also ran. Patience with such vermin will cease to be, not a virtue, but at all tolerable. Only the unwise beneficience of the government as it exists in its present weak and flabby exhibition of authority, permits these teachers and apostles of the Doc- trine of Destroy to still go about unfettered and unhanged.—Steele Ozone. “INDUSTRIAL SLAVERY” The Townley newspapers denounce the order of Judge Anderson as an order compelling men to work against their will. Of course, it isn’t anything of the kind, for no miner is compelled to work who doesn’t want to. It is merely an order forbidding an organized strike, and whatever may be said about it from a tactical standpoint, it is perfectly good law, and an honest interpretation of the Lever act. Yet, while protesting against this so-called forc- ing of men to labor, the Townley newspapers In this glorious country women have equal rights with men. A mob of 150 women stoned men who were trying to go to work at Youngs- town the other day. loudly praise Governor Frazier’s absurd antics and’his plan to conscript men between the ages of 18 and 45 to enforce the operation of the mines in North Dakota, which never would have stopped operating if the chief executive had not played the role of walking delegate and called the men out. Dr. Samuel Zane Batten urges Baptists to spurn money offered by profiteers, “the meanest kind of thieves.” Our observation has been that-a pro- fiteer is anybody who has something to sell. If the headlines concerning the running amuck ~ ofhpact o&.the conntny. get Your. goat, reflect. how Pir sbierreiry He fostered the strike, and then threatened to force citizens of the state, under penalty of im- prisonment if they refused, to help him operaté the mines. If the comparatively mild anti-strike order of Judge Anderson is “industrial slavery,’ what is Governor Frazier’s stupid bungling ?— THE FRAZIER-DRENNAN PLAN ON THE FARM AZIER Gave : THOSE tee [iH For.

ROBINSON SEES _ CARL ‘KOSITZKY IN A NEW LIGHT (Continued From Page One) The expense is $16,000. He is free to expend evry cent of the money. Now, I thing it clear that such laws are not constitutional. The state may not levy a tax and say that any fperson may expend it according to his own good will and pleasure. When the present state adminis- tration took office, it was thought well to reward the faithful handsomely by putting no limit to their power. The Attorney General. was the pet of the household. He was the one whom the wise men delighted to honor, He was given for his department the free use of nearly $50,000, a year, and _ per- quisite of about another $50,000. He was put on the Banking board, the Auditing board.) and in short, on every board. During the first two years he kept. strictly jn line :and never once crossed the powers that be, but during the past year he has thot himselg strong enough to go it alone! and do resent correction. If he has erred the powers have got nothing only what they deserved. It is down and to trust anyone that is a public servant without proper restraints and limitations. It is folly ‘to givé com- pensation bureau power to pay $5100 or 10,000 for a lumbering ‘rate sche- dule, when in a few. days a compet- ent board could have made a proper rate schedule. Now, at the coming ssesion,of the solons we look for them to make @ proper and just schedule of compen- sation rates; to classify the civil ser- vice, and to fix a just salary for each appointee; also to limit and. safe guard the expenditures of public money; to provide a monthly examination and accounting and for more effici- ent public service; and, above. all, to cut down the tax levies. In the banking, the milling and in all. the public utilities there must be a. strict and faithful: system of ac- counting. without any whitewashing; there must be no attempt. to cloak or cover up wrongs. If mill managers pay $500 for the inspection and_val- uation of a small ,mill the public should: know it: and should know if such: payment isin. acordance with good business methods, % By Chapter. 6, Laws. of 1919, the business of pool halls, dance halls, theaters, taxi cab stands, etc, 1s made a perquisite .of the ‘Attorney General and all taxes upon the same are plac- ed at his disposal. Of course, that is dead wrong. The state. manage- ment of local affairs is always bad and expensive and it is contrary to the letter and spirit of the Constitu tion, Corliss, ex parte, 16 N. D, 470.

Feeding Vaiue of Sunflower a Silage Shown by periments By P. G. HOLDEN. XPERIMENTS conducted ur -ing the past three years by the Montana Agricultural College have apparently proven sunflower silage to be of high-feeding value for cattle. ; Individual farmers in Montana, Idaho, Colorado,, California, Ohio, Michigan and Canada also report great, success with sunflower silage, so that its value is not confined to localities where conditions make the growing of corn difficult. In Montana the yield for green forage gveraged about 30 tons to the 2cre under irrigation, and from 15 to :0:tons on dry land. This was from wo. to’ three times the yield of corn. Bs Has High Feeding Vatue. ‘ The Montana Experiment Statiou estimates that 2.83 pounds of ‘sun- ‘lower silage is equal in feeding value’ to one pound of alfalfa hay. The report ofthe station says: “When jalfalfa hay is. worth $12 per ton, sunflower silage is worth ; At three and one-half tons of Ifalfa to the acre an acre of al- fa at $12 a ton would be worth . At 20 tons to the acre, an acre of sunflower silage, at $4.24 a ton, would be worth $84.80.” Most ‘of ‘the experiments to, es: tablisti the feeding value of. Bun! flower silage have been conducted: | connection with dairy cattle, rmers report that thé results in ik production from sunflower ‘sil- nge is as great as that from corn silage. The Montana Station fed two lots of dairy cows of 16 head each. The .inimals {n lot No. 1 were fed con- centrates and 26.65, pounds of alfal- fa hay. Those in lot No. 2 were fed concentrates, ‘10.93 pounds of alfalfa hay and 41.26 pounds of sunflower silage. The average dally production of milk per cow in lot No.1 was 29.03 pounds; in lot No, 2 it was 28.17 pounds. The average daily produc- tion of butter per cow in lot No. 1 was 1.13 pounds; in lot No. 2 it: was. 1.12 pounds. WA One dairyman at the experiment station, however, reports | that ‘nohe, of his cattle relished sunflower; that some refused to eat it; that those that did eat it fell off both in milk flow. and weight. '* Exeeltent for Beef Cattle. The college herd of beef cattle and calves has been fed largely upon sunflower silage. The results have been very satisfactory. For growing sunflowers the sofl should be well prepared and the seed planted late in April or early in May, .A corn planter set to drill the seed is the most popular method, but a grain drill may be used by stopping’ up some of the cups. The seed must not be planted too thick in the row; the rows should be from 24 to 30 inches apart on irrigated land and‘ from 86 to 42 inches on dry land. Half a bushel of iat the fu acre is enough for irrigatéd land gud half that amount for dry land, Sunflowers. make the best silage when three-fourths of the seed are in the late milk or early dough state, Sunflowers are harvested the same as corn—preferably with a binder, The entire plant—stalk, leaves and tLeeds—is made into silage. ‘Silk Hose, JOHNSON’S for Phoenix Pure \ Suffered Two Years “For about, two years I suffered with | mala: feyer and bad blood, trying jeverything that was recommended to jme without benefit. - “Finally someone told me alfout haan 40'¥or ‘the Blood’ and I pur- chased a bottle from ovr merchan* {Mr. Walter Page, and !t. did me so {much good that I kept on taking it jusing in all 3 1-2 bottles.

Q'DOWD HAS NOT AMASSED RICHES St. Paul Harp Would Quit Game Poor Man If Knocked Out .. By. Mike Gibbons ——_ + St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 15—What will Mike O'Dowd, world’s champion mid- dleweight do if he is counted out in his championship bout with . Mike Gibbons at the St. Paul Auditorium on the evening of November 21? O’Dowd, whose every dollar was ex- pended in the support of his parents during his service in war, returned to the United States and the boxing game, the poorest world’s champion the world has ever known. Since donning his civilian togs, how- ever, the St. Paul Harp has fought like a champion, meeting all comers and in nine of ten fights has accumu- lated a snug amount of cash. The total of money earned, however, would net sustain him for more than four months, he has divulged and al- though he is to receive $15,000 for his clash with Gibbons, win lose or draw @ great deal of that money will have been spent in preparing. for the fight, payment of expenses in his camp, pay- ment to his.sparring partners and the large percentage to which his manag er, Paddy Mullins, is entitled. A defeat at the hands ‘of Gibbons— that ig knockout beating—would send O'Dowd ‘hurtling into oblivion, for a few years at least, it is pointed out by the red hot'fans. But O'Dowd has not thought of.experiéncing the fangs of a defeated champion:..According to his handlers, his confidence has reach- ed that stage where tapering 1s ne- cessary... Mullins,his ‘mapeger, confid- ent that’ Gibbons “will be‘ eliminated for all times by a knockout, is kept busy “holding O’Dowd’s‘:spirit of over- confidence’ ‘in check, “The champion will surely win by a knockout,” Mul- lng explained, “but. we must harness his youthful. exubertant cock-sured- ness.: A boy of Mike’s age, whose viyaclousness kndws no bounds and whose hitting powers hive never been put to the acid test, must be held in check, “It we' were to agree with him in opinion that Gibbons: will be easy pluckings, then there might be some hitch to delay the inevitable knock- out. And we want to win early.” ° " ——— ° | PEOPLE’S FORUM | “x _—_ OUR, BEST CROP Editor Tribune: ~~ ¢ A young man remarked , about a certain largé city at, one ‘time that the ‘best: atid Diggest® crop that city ever raised was “boys and girls” ang he ‘asked what the people were ‘doing to Keep the weeds. out.» °°) : “Bismarck also las the Saine sort of crop and I should ‘like’to ask “not in the spirit ‘of criticism’ what-if any are<the plans’ for furnishing clean, healthful ‘inside or outside amuse; ment for our young folks? 4 Would an ice-skating rink kept up in good shape cost us more than it would be worth, considering ‘the bene- fits the boys and girls would derive from it? 2 5 Movies the only amusement we nov have are. alright in their place but they ‘do not put a glow into the check nor a sparkle in the eye.
