PAGE TWO HARDING'S VIEW OF LEGISLATION SHOWN IN SPERCH Politicians Refer to Public Ut- terances of Republican Nom- : inee for President Chicago, June 17.—While Senator Warren G. Harding has retired to the comfortable porch of his home in Marion, Ohio, politicians are scanniing his record on the big issues to feel out the strength and weaknesses of the coming campaign. In his address on Americanism be- fore the Ohio society of New York, Harding had this to say: “Many have thought the ratification of the peace treaty and its League of Nations would make us normal, but that is the plea of the patent medicine fakir, whose one remedy marvelously will cure every ill. Undoubtedly, for- mal peace will help, and I gladly will speed the way, if we sacrifice nothing vitally American. Yet, as a matter of fact, actiial ‘peace prevails and com- merce has resumed its wonted way. Normal Thinking Needed. “Normal thinking will help more. The world does deeply need to get nor- mal, and liberal doses of mental sci- BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE DANCER FIGHTS ence freely mixed with resolution will help mightily. I do not mean the old order will be restored. It never will be again. But there is a sane normal- cy due under the new conditions, to be reached in deliberation and . under- standing. And all men must under- stand and join in reaching it. Cer- tain fundamentals are unchangeable and everlasting. “Life without toil never was and neaer can be. There can be-no ex- cellence without great labor. Lowered cost of living and increased cost of production are an economic fraud. Cap- ital makes while labor produces, and neither ever achieved without the oth-' er, and both of them together never “Honey Girl” girl. wrought a success without genius and management. No one of thém, through tht power of great wealth, the force of knowledge, or:the might of genu- ineness, is above the law, and no one of them shall dominate a free peo- ple.” Liberty Saving Held Problem As-to the reds, he says: “The in- sistent problem of the day, magnified in the madness of war and revealed in the extreme reaction from hateful and destroyed autocracy to misapplied and bolshevist democracy, like the pathos of impotent Russia, is the preservation of civil liberty and its guaranties. Let Russia experiment in her fatuous folly until the world is warned anew by her colossal ‘tragedy. And let every clamorous advocate of the red regime go to Russia and revel in its crimsoned reign. : “We have been hearing lately of the selfishness of nationality, and it has been urged that we must abandon it in order to perform our full duty to humanity and civilization. We do not mean to. kold aloof, who choose no isolation, we. shun no duty. I have a confidence in our' America that re- quires no council of foreign powers to point the :way of American duty.

Crum en- dorsed by the Nonpartisan league for conscience in every concept of ourj the legislature, has been laid bare by moral obligations. It is fine to ideal- ize, but it is very practical to make sure our own house is in perfect order before we attempt the miracle of old world stabilization. “I do not believe in any class domi- nation, and the Iqng fight to remove the domination of capital, now fairly won, is lost if labor domination is sub- stituted.” He said on the Cummins bill: “If the 'Hdward A.

In the Inland Post magazine of the legion Post, a writer says: “The American Legion is not part nor parcel of any political party, but as the local Post says on our editor- ial page, we are taking an active part in politics.

Crum came to Oliver county less than one year ago, and op- ened a law office in Center,” the mag- zine says..““A short time ago he was laced on the ticket for state repre- sentative from the 49th district, which includes Oliver, Mercer and Dunn | counties. “This political aspirant, Judge Crum, as he was once ‘styled, was at one time a ‘resident: of Montana and a judge of the district court in that state. When the*great war broke out..the judge, much wrought up, abandoned his legi- timate calling of lecturing on law and began lecturing everyone he met on the issues of the war... And, strange to relate, the judge’s views did not seem to meet the approval of the loy- al citizens of Montana. So they called a mass meeting and requested the judge to resign. But the ‘honorable judge did not feel inclined to abandon his comfortable berth. So the next record we find is that of Judge Crum’s impeachment. Impeachment charges were filed by the house of representatives: of Mon- tana in the Senate of that state on February 25, 1918, charging Judge Charles L. Crum with “high crimes and misdemeanors and malfeasance in office.” He was tried by the Senate, March 20 to 22, 1918, convicted and disqualified from holding any office of honor or trust under the state of Montana.” No Opposition. The vote of the senate was 37 “ayes” and none in opposition. Four were abe sent. “We are not fighting the league but we are Americans and would like to see Americans elected to office,” the Post continues. “If it was a political frame-up,. thirty senaters voted guilty on nearly every count. The house of representatives impeached him and the ‘senate convicted him and the Center Republican says it was a frame tip! Is it possible that all of these Ten are tools of big business and that they are dishonest and that Judge Crum was the only honest man in po- litical life at that time?” Crum was charged with saying, among other things, that if this coun- {ry went to war with. Germany he Would move out, that he was ready to lead an army into Canada and that he had sent his own son out of the country so that he might not be sub- ject to the draft, according to the information reaching the Post from Montana. JAMESTOWN WILL -GRANT DEGREES TO 17 TONIGHT Jamestown, June 17.— Seventeen} graduates will receive degrees from Jamestown College tonight at the beautiful Voorhees chapel. Five men. and one woman. receive the degree of Bachelor of Science and the other eleven that of Bachelor of Arts. Every one of the seven men has an| army record, two in the S. A. T. C., one in camp, and four overseas. Very few former members of the class were lost on account of the war. There has been a steady increase in the size of classeg since the first, numbering four, was ‘graduated in 1913, except that last year’s class contained nineteen. Most of the class, eleven members certainly and prob- ably one or two others, will engage in teaching in North Dakota high schools next year at initial salaries reaching as high as $1700. President B. H. Kroeze will preside and confer the degrees. The address of the day will be delivered by R. Ames Montgomery, D. D., president of Parsons College. Fairfield, Towa.

Grasshoppers are to blame. Southern Manitoba and the north- ern counties of North Dakota are in- tested with them. Farmers on both sides of the international boundary are working night and day to com- bat the pest. Manitobans declare that the locusts came from North Dakotg, blaming their American neighbors for laxity in not killing them off before they multiplied to the’ proportions of a plague.

Eggs are very, expensive. in stores here and were it not for the cooperation of the children and the chickens it is doubtful whether the poor would cdllege mixed chorus and by soloists.! ever taste’ eggs. North Dakota farmers, on the other hand, blame Manitoba for their| plight. They say there were hop- pers in this province before North Dakota ever saw one. The Canadians further accuse the Americans of laying down in the fight on the pest and the Americans hurl the charge back. Both pray for wind—the Canadians for a strong one from the north and the Yankees for a hurricane from the south. And both prayers have been answered, with the result that the! hoppers have been scatterdd over wider areas on both sides of the bor- der. Grasshoppers in destructive num- bers appeared in Manitoba last year. The Winnipeg general strike, which tied up transportation in the capital for six weeks, prevented the govern-! ment from getting supplies of poison to the infested areas, but the ground it lost last year it is making up this. The province is using every means known to science to kill off the in- sects before they reach maturity. In its campaign it already has spent $30,000 and is prepared to spend twice as much, or more if necessary, to wipe out the pest. Stores in the towns and villages.in the affected areas are open | only in the mornings, all able-bodied townspeople turning out every after- noon to the fields to help the farm- ers war on hoppers. | DECLARE POSSIBLE every hour, that $400,000,000,000 worth of stamps are sold annually and that the United States postal department is the biggest and most important pos- tal service in the world was the sub- stance of the chief address at the 7th annual convention of the postmasters of North Dakota, held at the K.
