This is the opinion of Harry B. Hunt, Washing- ton correspondent of this newspaper. His opin- ion was based upon the facts revealed by a careful, wide and deep study. of figures, governmental ex- penditures of past years and official estimates of probable expenditures this year. ” Hunt found that much-advertised “billion-dollar saving” nothing other than the discontinuance of certain war undertakings, such as the wheat guar- antee fund, European food relief and the railroad | administration. He found that other governmen- tal activities were demanding nearly $700,000,000 more than they needed last year. And he found:that none .of the increase is in. | tended to raise the wages of government employes {o equal the cost of living. Hunt says: “Uncle Sam is spending millions with less care than he formerly gave tothe ex- penditure of thousands.” This is your business, Mister Citizen. It is your money. What are you going to do about ‘it? Are you going to make it clear. to your representative in congress that you demand the strictest economy in governmental expenditures. and the most care- ful handling of your money? Better, have a “tightwad’’ congress and less taxes to pay, don’t you think ? THE COUNTY SPLIT When the league captured Burleigh county, it! wag a remarkable political union. touched.

Just what the reason is has not come to the surface, but the followers of Karl Marx are far from united. ‘As to.whether Comrade “Eddie” refuses to 8a-' lute the red flag or Bill Prater declines to accept the Bolsheviki doctrine in toto, The Tribune is un- informed. The schism may be the result of a quar- rel over the spoils. But anyone can see that all is not blissful among the Burleigh county comrades. It may be high taxes. Another guess is that the parlor Bolsheviks are jealous of the agrarian soviets. Then too the landed gentry, the men for whom the Nonpartisan league was primarily or- ganized, may feel that they have been unfairly dealt with in the matter of tax levies. Anyway, solidarity of the Burleigh county 8o-| cialist organization, erroneously known as repub-' lican, is in danger of dissolution. The stake-holders and what is in the jackpot may come to light again. In the interim the’ pot boils. “ THEY OWE US Every American who contributes to the support of this government ought to be interested in the credit.side of our national account book.

WITH THE EDITORS THE DEBT TO MAUDE POWELL Maude Powell was.an honor to her country by jfame was world-wide. Born in a little town of northern Ilinois more than a half century ago, | she nurtured and developed an unusual childhood talent and took her place in due course high! among the grea‘, players, not merely of her own| day, but of all days. With her, as with nearly all others who have} risen to first-rank musical distinction, the talis- man of success was hard work. Her career was; but one more illustration that the road to famé| leads up hill anc, that to climb that hill requires | :pluck even more than it requires natyral endow- | ments. The memory of Maude Powell, whose life ; has just come to an untimely end, is to be cher- | ished not merely because she shed luster upon! American musical annals through the medium of ; _her own genius, but because, she was instrumen-| i tal in causing thé world to take note of the work; of other American musicians. 2 Particularly are the American people grateful; for the fine, unselfish, efficient service she rend-| ‘ered during the war. , She devoted herself ‘with | motherly zeal and spirit to the work of keeping ,up the morale and enhancing the happiness of the |service men. For that work of love alone she! made her countrymen her debtors.—Minneapolis | Journal. : | i |’ NOTED WRITER BOOSTS NORTH DAKOTA One little ray of.sunshine in all the gloom spread throughout the east about North Dakota comes from the pen of Sinclair Lewis, who has | been traveling through most of the states by au- tomobile and writes of his experiences in the Sat-! jurday Evening Post under the title “Adventures ; {in Automobumming.” The final paragraph of his | larticle is printed below. Read and study it, and reflect that this is not a land agent’s advertise-! ment, but a voluntary tribute by one of the country’s foremost writers to the greatestsstate! jin the Union: : “And once we spent the night on the vast and open prairie between Bismarck and Dick- inson in North Dakota. Awe crept over us ; as we sat on stools by. the tent. The huge | orb of the land was mightier than mountains or the ring of ocean. Here was the heart of America; and we had come here, not coaxed by hotel signs or business engagements but ' merely because driving westward it ‘had seemed’ a possible place to stop for the night. Carelessly, by chance, we had driven in a wonderland; and:as dusk drifted down and the car and tent. were insignificant as a lone wheat shock on that prairie, we forgot all about the insignificances of dust and punc- tures and road finding and in the great still- ness were thankful that—as only gypsies or autohobos could—we had happened upon the | quiet place of the elder gods.”—McLean County Independent.

This is the present condition of the Methodist church at Bis- marck. There are other church- es of smaller proportions, but the Methodist edifice and its neat lit- tle parsonage are a surprise.
