THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY It was entirely unnecesary for Langdon Davi alien agitator imported by the league to bols up its cause, to liken North Dakota Nonpartisan ism to Russian Bolshevism. The likeness is so striking that it has not es-| as dense as our appears to con- caped notice, even with people “distinguished” British visitor sider us. The devil will be body invents a way it out of busines < in virtue to puta ki TYPICAL AND ILLUMINATING The abuse of legislative courtesies of which Langdon Davies, a British labor agitator, guilty when he took advantage of the privileges extended to him by the house to make himself an attorney for the state board of administration i defense of the free love literature which it ha placed in the state library, was typical and illum ating, and this alien merited the stinging rebuk which Rep. J. F. T. O'Connor was courageous | enough to administer. As for Davies, the act was common to his and it was characteristic of the league faction which prompted him to insult the house and abuse the courtesies which it had extended him. Weeds are but undeveloped hothouse favorit Transplant your radical to rich soil and he will be- come a scented reactionary. LEGAL PROCESSES Out in Hindustan when a dispute ari the ownership of a piece of land, the lawyers for the defendant and plaintiff go to the disputed lot. Eaeh drives a peg in the ground and sits down be- side it. hunger, thirst or sickness, loses the ease. as to Strange as the riethod may appear, we in the outcome is pretty much the same as used by other countries. in the or Whatever opinion we may have to the contrary the strongest MINDED side of an argument ust wins. to the time required for settling a dispute, we believe we would favor the Hindustan method. Say what you please, the whole show would be over in a week even if it ended in a funeral. Lodge declares that reservations ‘‘Americanized’ the treaty. Well, they postponed action. That is the present form of Americanism.

W. W. | Missouri, pledged by the sixteenth assembly in regular session last winter, is an indication that the administration majority intends to carry out the suggestion made in Governor Frazier’s mes. sage and keep faith with the people. As the bill is amended, the state’s share in this enterprise, from which all North Dakota will bene- fit, is to be paid from the revenue created by the licensing of automobiles, and there will be no di- rect tax on the people at large. Burleigh and Morton counties, which will bear the only direct tax burden, have already gone on record as ready to bond for $90,000 apiece to carry out their part of the bargain. The federal government has sig- nified its willingness to appropriate $500,000 as its share of the project. There is no legitimate reason why this measure should not pass, and the senate state affairs com- mittee is to.be commended upon its foresight and fairness in this matter. We were not surprised by the attempt to pull off a wholesale jail delivery in Detroit. Quantity delivery is the best little thing Detroit does. THE MILITARY SOVIETS The consistency of the league leadership was again evidenced Friday, when men like Walter J. Maddock of Mountrail, who should and probably does' know better, defended on the floor of the house a military autocracy, so long as it is domi- nated by,Lynn J. Frazier. Were Frazier the real autocrat it would be bad enough; for weaknes is his chief fault. But every- one within and without the league knows that the czar who is reared in North Dakota by this rever- sion to militaryism is Arthur C. Townley, and that The one forced to leave it first because of| |Editor | | | n!} 410F kind, | told the investi | | | | i | The Associated T see voluaivaly. entitled tothe a hood left in North Dakota to retire Lynn J.

The book is writ- | things, a ten by Grover H. Perry and published by the I. W. feniice On page 10 appears the following: “The I. W. W. is fast approaching the stage where it can accomplish its mission. This mission | is revolutionary in character. “We are not satisfied with a day’s wages for a fais day’s work. We are going to do away with capitalism by taking possession of the land and the machinery of production. We don’t intend to buy them either, because we have the power to control the muscle and the brain of the working class. “Organized, we will take back that which has been stolen from us. We will demand more and more wages from our employers. We will demand and enforce shorter hours. “The I. W. W. is laying the foundation of a new government.” ‘ On October 13, 1919, at Missoula, Montana, W. Nicholas, announcing himself as an organizer of the I. W. W., addressed a meeting and distributed a quantity of literature similar to the above and all of an I. W. W. character. ie At the same meetnig, at the same place, from the same platform, on the same’program, H. Krog-} man, an organizer for: the Nonpartisan league, gave an address and distributed Nonpartisan league literature. Think it over, North Dakota farmers, and then|' ask yourselves if you have anything in common with the I. W. W.’s. There is not a doubt in the world but what the leaders of the Nonpartisan league and this lawless element are working hand in hand. Do you want to work with them, Mr. Farmer; do: you want them to. get control of the labor situation in North Dakota? If you do just stay with Townley and you will help the cause of I, W.

D., Nov. 21, 1919. Editor Bismarck Tribune, {Dear Sir: : I was glad to read in the Tribune The {recently that the city commissioners were thinking of establishing out- door skating rinks. It is to be sincere- ate. ly hoped that they will'reach a favor- "yj. able decision, prepare them and then Hee, them lit Sieating condition: a % ary. The city offers practically no whole- ee the vin. some vockeation for our children. and e real or pretended eee nied nos are crhers of the ish ergetic boys and girls realize e the part of foolish great desirability of their having some means of enjoying their youth while they have it. Many of us fa- ucture thers are not too cold, either, to enjoy ctionary Some out-door sports. We have chosen this city in which to live and rear our children as well and surely there should be some encouragement from the muni- is cipality. In a land where there is so other much winter it would seem little for t the city to provide skating.

I cannot see any reason for waiting for the swimming pool to be built be- fore having skating ponds. We want the swimming pool, and a good one, but there is no necessity of one being jdependent on the other so far as I can see. I cannot see the economy of {flooding the swimming pool for skat- jing. In order to prevent the ice from ‘cracking and destroying the walls of the pool, I presume that: it. would be necessary to flood the pool to over- ‘flowing so that the ice would form above the walls. Water in the usual (swimming pool varies from 3 ft. to 9 ft. in depth and the additional flood- {ing would increase this to a probable idepth of 5 ft. to 11 ft. On the other hand, a plot of level Jand banked around the edges to contain the water, would require an initial flooding not to exceed 6 inches in depth. For econ- - omy this would seem far the better. Considering the matter from this viewpoint, why should we wait for the swimming pool and why _ consider these skating ponds as makeshifts? Rather let these shallow ponds be the regular winter thing and the swimming pool the summer thing. I am sure there are many parents who feel as I do about this matter and not The — first FONGRALC DiRSexorsy I wish they would write direct to the city commissioners and give their en- couragement.
