BIG DEMAND FOR CARS; HAY HELD UP BY SHORTAGE Th ailway commission reports @ chronic lack of cars in North Dakota. Complaints are received daily, and no relief appears to be in sight. This i particularly true, advises Secretar’ Calderhead, of regions in which Mon-: tana stockmen have purchased hay for immediate shipment. Being unable to make delivery, North Dakota farmers with hay to sell are being forced to; sacrifice their contracts, while the jontana ranchers are compelled to pay higher prices and for a longer! haul from eastern points. “We read some days ago of a long! string of ca several miles of them, I believe, headed for North Dakota,” said Secretary Calderhead today. “Ap- rently none of them has reached this state, and the situation here is be-| coming acute. The commission,‘ ap- parently. is powerless to speed’ up a more adequate distribution of rolling stock. BIG BUCK ELK, LONG KING OF RANGE, FINDS MASTER IN BARBED WIRE BARRIER | Pierre, S. Jan. 21.—The big buck elk, king of Heise Phillips’ herd for more than a decade, has fought its last battle. A barb-wire fence was the victor in the struggle to the death. The buck was absolute in its de- nomination of the buffalo and elk herds. Several bull buffaloes of the largest ranch in America attempted to match their strength against the King but they were ignominiously routed. Finally, the elk took a violent dis- like to the heavy wire fence sur- rounding the ranch. It attempted to clear it but the fence was too high and the elk landed squarely on the ‘the attempt to subdue the top barbs. After a terrible struggle the elk tore itself from the tangle of wire and died of its wounds, NO ANNOUNCEMENT | FROM 'CHAIN STORE MEETING IN FARGO Frago, Jan. 2 Yo announcement was forthcoming today from the meet- of certificate holders of the Con- sumers United stor a Nonparti- san league subsidary, which has been nee Tu The proposed increase of the cipital stock from $10.000 to $2,500,000 so thar shares of stock may. be led to cer tifigate’ holders ig the principal busi- nes before the conference.

Brown Declares Non- partisan League Part of Commune Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 22.—Town- ley’s Nonpartisan league was classed with the, Socialist party, the: Commun- sts, the Bolsheviki and the 1. W. W. as'an opponent of the American form of nment by Rome G. Brown, president of the Minneapolis Tribune, in an address delivered at West high school yesterday afternoon. Mr. Brown spoke at the regular monthly meeting of the West High School Parents-Teachers’ association, held in the/ school library. He said the lines were already being drawn for a battle between Americanism and anti-Americanism. He pointed out! that Minnesota will be the battle- ground, Results Exemplified in Russia. “The evil results of unchecked pow- er caused through the whims of a temporary majority in control of a government,” said Mr. Brown, “i emplified well in the case ‘of top turvy Russia. There property is con-| fiscated without trial, personal liber- ties are not considered and the power tof the mob rules wildly to suit the} ; Vagaries of the sovie' “This whimsical form of govern. ment is run solely by those having no property, who are not workers, who have never achieved anything, who yoake never accumulated power, talent ‘nor property. In Russia where the dictatorship of the proletariat is ap- plied, property owners also are elim-! jinated physically—simply for the rea- son that they have property, Revolution Is Creed of All. “Apologetic soviet sympathizers to- day try to coddle the public by state- ments that Socialism is not what Rus- sia writhes under. It is, precisely There is'no difference, any more than between Communism and I. W. Wism. All embrace revolutions in their | creeds, “Socialism, or its sprigs, mean the nationalization of the individual, mak- ing him a vassal and tool of the state —even to the women.” Quoting from the Communist mar Bh festo, Mr. Brown read portions ridi-| culing religion and the ties of hom: The manifesto read that all members of the party are atheisrs. Similar quotations were read from the manifesto of the Socialist party of Minnesota. First to Protect Individual. - “Not until the formation of the con- stitution of the United States,” con- tinued Mr. Brown, “did any govern- ment protect the rights and liberties of the individual. The English bill of rights was the groundwork of the| ~~~ instrument. Although in England no} enforcement of the bill of rights we part of the governing system, the judi clary slepartment of the Ameri ‘Yo whim of a temporary majo! in any community can deprive a zen of his property or rights.

Mr. Brown de-| clared that in no country is the insti- tution so fundamental to prosperity o7 the protection as well guaranteed as in America. Constitution Model for Others. The constitution of the United States was characterized as the most jefficient ever devised by man. It has been copied by Australia and other! governments in the last 50 years, he} said. He pointed out that the ti tution was purposely made difficult to change to prevent whimsical or sud- den ssnap-judgment amendment. Mr. Brown predicted that the Non- partisan league, which is allied with: United States, will fight its next battle in Minnesota at the coming election.

The Tribune must continue for several da to impose upon the generosity of its ce-wworkers in the | Bismarck field, but as soon as tho de- bris is cleared away it is hoped that. good progr may be made with the rehabilitation of at least a portion of the company’s own plant. The publisher again acknowledges ‘with sincere appreciation the ai ance and offers of help which came from every side yesterday. This was not true of Bismarck alone, for mes- sages expressing sympathy and a de- sire to be of aid came from all parts of the state, and. from newspaper sup- ply houses and other business connec- tious outside the state.~ A‘ touch of adversity proves that there is a whole lot of real friendship and human kind- ness in this nerve-wracked old world of ours after all, and out of its time of travail The Tribune will salvage gracious memories which will be ten- derly, cherished. ‘The Tribune has suffered a severe blow; it will be crippled for a time, physically, but in spirit’ The Tribune is unchanged. It will k up the fight tor the right as it sees it, with charity for all and malice toward none; it will continue to expound what it, believes to be the principl of true, progressive Amer it will continue to stand for Bismarck, the Slope and North kota, and to reach out for the good things which are this favored territor: natural heritage. Thrice The Tribune has been bap- tised in fire, and always it has come out triumphant. The Tribune today hopes to a trom the ashes of The Tribune of yesterday better, braver, stronger, with a higher courage, with uter confidence, with a brighter goal.
