Cigarettes may be as harmful as the Burleigh county Sunday school association regards them, } but we would much rather have our boys, ‘and our girls, too, for that matter, smoking cigarettes than to have them reading Ellen Key’s “Love and Ethics,” with the North Dakota library’s stamp on its pages, or Upton Sinclair’s unbelievably filthy “Profits of Religion,” which besmirches the religion for. which every Sunday schook, worker « in North Dakota is supposed to stand. It may be most iniquitous for our young people to witness baseball games on Sunday or to go to a moving picture show. It is entirely proper that the churches have Sunday to themselves and that we dedicate this one day of seven to the Lord and keep it holy in His name. But we would far pre- fer that a boy or girl of ours be warming the bleechers of a Sunday afternoon or holding down a seat in some clean movie show Sunday night than that he or she should devote the same amount of time to perusing ANY of the twenty-two vol- umes. which Governor Frazier’s state board of administration especially ordere for circulation in the traveling libraries of the state, which are, designed for the use of our boys and girls. ltat and ripe for eating; put up 167 cans of fruit, 100 cans of vegetables, and 97 jars of jelly, jam and preserves. Besides which they helped mother with the farm housework and managed a man- sized garden. We don’t know how many pro- ‘posals they met with during that time, but wl |rather suspect that they were too busy to pay ‘much attention to the young men. WE’RE HERE BECAUSE WE’RE HERE Old Mother Earth is doing business at the sanie old stand today. Her bankruptcy and utter failure have been pre- dicted many a time, but she has always bobbed up smiling. Like so many of us mortals, Dame Earth is not prepared for dissolution. She has too much to do +++ 6.00/to put her house in order. If she had to face her Maker today she would be compelled to admit that she had made a miserable mess of it. CAUSE AND EFFECT? NO? Director General Hines announces that during September, the last period for which he had fig- ures available, an even higher percentage of pas- senger trains made on-time runs than in August. His figures are that 84.3 per cent arrived at their terminals on time, compared with 83 per cent in August. Good. May they soon all run on time all the time. But, according to Miss Pauline Goldmark, man- ager of the woman’s service- section, division of labor, U. S. Railway Administration, there are now about 20,000 fewer women in the railway service than there were before the armistice. Now is this cause and effect? Did fair woman’s well known prerogative of being late cause more trains to be late when there were 101,000 of them working for the railroads and fewer trains to! be late when there but 82,294 left on the payroll? Leave it to Walker Hines. He has handled many ahard job. Let him fight it out with Miss Pauline, Only four more shopping days before Christ- mas! Will our purse stand the strain. a Se aie = The President declares that we need sound thinking. We also need thinking that contains something more than sound. One reason why impudent countries and organi- zations do not respect America is because Amer- ica shows too much respect for them. Every time Uncle Sam tries to straighten out While harping on the age-honored evils, why did not our Burleigh county Sunday, school asso- ciation modernize a trifle and recognize the in- iquity, and stench that, stewed and boiled here at, the state capitol, under its very nose? NEW SCHOOL NEEDED Bismarck must have a new school building, and‘ the time is not far distant when it must provide still another. This is one of the penalties of growth. We should hesitate no more over the building of a new school than would a merchant over the adding of a new show case or more counter room} to care for increasing trade. Few of us understand just how rapidly Bis- marck is growing. Our merchants know something about it in pa- tronage which is ever growing larger. Our postoffice receipts, our bank clearings, our savings deposity all show it. Most of all it is reflected in the congested con- dition of our schools, a condition that must be relieved if we are to do the square thing by the men and women of tomorrow. So, when you are given an opportunity to vote more bonds for more schools considéf it as it really is, a privilege, and give thanks that you live in a town that is alive and growing. » WE NOTE IN PASSING Madame Signe Lind is still-head of the musical department at Mayville, where she circulated a petition for the liberation of Kate Richards O'Hare, who classed mothers of North Dakota fighting men with brood sows. George E. Totten, the man who picked Charles E, Stangeland to pick the books which were to go into our traveling libraries and who approved the literature which Stangeland selected is still chair- man of the board of administration which looks after the training of our boys and girls. Governor Frazier, the man responsible for it all, is still in Colorado, doing his feeble best to fasten upon that state the same sort of abortive Bolshevism with which North Dakota has been inflicted. , A, Cc. Townley is still president of the Nonpar- tisan league: AND THE PEOPLE OF NORTH DAKOTA ARE STILL STANDING FOR IT. FEMININE RECORDS We read the story of the two New York sisters who tell of having been proposed to 867 times. Being pretty, attractive, thoroughly Amreican young women, they just naturally became mag-| nets for young men’s affections. But, honestly, a tangle and get a little real action he discovers that he has failed to make a law for it. Let us hope that it is true that Villa has been captured by his own men. Apparently there was no one else with nerve enough to do the job. We suggest that Rev. John Flint and. Rev. George E. Totten form a ministerial association of their own. It would be most harmonious. And now let us, give less attention to fears of breaking the heart of Europe and more attention to those who are breaking the laws of America. Efforts to improve the situation by breaking diplomatic relations with Mexico remind us of the man who wouldn’t speak to his clerk because he knew the clerk to be a crook. American delay in signing the treaty greatly encouraged Germany. There was another time when American delay encouraged Heinie, but his good feeling didn’t last Jong. 4 SERRA -teneemeeeeeeneeee ee | WITH THE EDITORS I an ee ee ep SCAPEGOATS d In an old book called “Leviticus” there is given ceremonial: ae. e He shall bring the live ‘goat} and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over, him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting - them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness ; and the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities into a land not inhabited; and he shall let go-the goat into the wilder- _ ness. In accordance with this ancient custom the So- cialists at Bismarck turned Stangeland loose, load- ing him up with all the sins and iniquities that he could stagger under, and there being so many more transgressions to answer for than one man could carry away, it is now proposed to tie a pack off into an uninhabited place.

Fargo ‘Courier‘News, dated Nov. 27, 1919, which contains the opinion of Judge Charles F. Ami- don, of the United States district court, denying a permanent injunction restraining Governor Lynn J.
