D. of Hatton and vicinity are beginning to get a taste of the new day result- ing trom league legislation. In spite of the fact that the district is one of the richest in the county, it finds that it has no money with which to pay the added expense in connection with the school. Time was in North Dakota when each school dist was its own boss, levied its own taxes, made its own debts and paid its own debts. Now. however, with the Townley gang's state socialist creeping in and crowd- ing the control out of the hands of the loca Ischool officers, many school dis: tricts are finding out what a strange thing it is not to be their own boss, but to have to go to ‘Townl Prus- sian Guard at Bismarck and ask leave. Take for instance the school district of Hatton, Traill county, one of the riche: most progressive and most spirited school districts in the For years and years this dis- t has known no such thing as out- standing warrants, that it to be run- ning in debt for current expenses, Un- n of the tax Ss writ- 4 te by a socialist: from Utah, Roylance, the Hatton school d t is being forced into debt.

This was Dr. Pierce, who afterwards estab- lished himself in Buffalo, N.

You see Hatton is not 1of age. It is not safe to trust a local junit of government, especially with money matters. It's all right for the State bank to loan hundreds of thous- ands of dollars to the Scandinavian bank at Far on what security the people of this te are'not permitted to know, and it’s all right for Cathro to finance fellows in Bottineau Co., who owe money at Cathro apd Mcln- tosh's bank, without any particular ceremony and free from examination, but there is no money to take care of Hatton's school warrants. People See Through. It is just beginning to dawn on the people at Matton and many other pla- ces what the New Day and all this so- cialist red tape means. Some are be: ginnning to think how strange it was hat thirty and in some places even forty years the local township and the Iccal s rict could be trusted and wi andle its own money matters, but just oon as we get an adininistration built by social- ists then ail money must go to a bank conducted in secret by their hench- men, Such things would have becn ular in Germany where the kaiser’s gang had centralized and Prussianized all political power.

BULGARS LOOK FOR TERRITORY ADJOINING SEA Must Have Way of Reaching the Aegean Sea, Says Prime Min- ister in Interview NECESSITY IS EXPLAINED Sofia, Bulgaria, June 19.—Bulgaria have a territorial outlet on the) Acgean sea, Ivan EK. Gueshoff, one of Bulgaria's most brilliant stajesman and formerly Prime Minister, now a Deputy of Parliament, has told The Associated Press correspondent. “A mere economic outlet will be of no use to her and she has catergorically refused and will refuse, to accept it.” You are wrong. The Townley gang's; he went on, “A glance at’ the map of che Balkan Peninsula will prove that a port on the Aegean is a matter of far more vital improtance to Bulgaria than Fiume is to Jugo-Slavia.” “We know, continued M. Gueshoff, ‘that on the question of ethnic aud erritorial claims of Bulgaria, the United States was over-ruled at the L e Conference. We are neverthe- less genuinely granteful to all those Americans who, in the commissions appointed to study the questions of ihrace and the northern and western frontiers of Bulgairia, gave cpnclu- sions in our favor. We now implore the geenrous help of the great Amer- ican people in the solution of a ques- tion fraught with momentous conse- quences to Bulgaria and to the peace ot the whole Balkan Peninsula.” (Bulgaria ceded, western Thrace un- der the peace treaty and the Peace Conference awarded it to Greece. This out Bulgaria off from its former port of Dedeagatch, on the Aegean sea; but the Allies promised her the League of Nations would give her an outlet on the Aegean.) ‘the former Prime Minister, who was educated in England and who is leader of the strong Nationalist Party, then discussed what he termed “the Allies’ flagrant betrayal of the principle of nationality.” “We were stunned,” said M. Gueshoff, “when we heard that Bulgaria was condemned to lose dis- tricts the Bulgarian character of which was never contested and that while for certain disputed German re- gions the plebiscite was permitted, the principle of self-determination was refused the Bulgarian populations which were awarded to Serbia and Greece. “In order to explain this flagrant betrayal of the principle of national- ity.” M. Gueshoff continued, “it was alleged that the Bulgarians deserved to be punished, first, because they had tought against the Entente and then because they. had committed atroci- ties. The Bulgarian people were against the war. A faithless king had betrayed them into it. 4 “Had the Entente landed troops at Saloniki before the Bulgarian mobili- zation of 1915, as I then insisted, had Bulgaria the geographical situation of Greece. the Bulgarians would have done what the Greeks did in 1917 and Bulgaria would never have gone with the Central Empire.s M. Gueshoff concluded the inter- view with a reference to the alleged Bulgarian atrocities. “As President of the Bulgarian Red ‘Cross Society,” he said, “in January, 1919, I proposed that an_ International Commission should inquire into these so-called atrocities and those committee by the | other Balkan states. But the Confer- ence of Paris had decided to throttle Bulgaria without giving her the oppor- tunity of defending herself.” MINERS SUFFER THROUGH LACK OF MINE CARS Ohio Secretary Says That Many Mines Are Able to Work Only One Day a Week ‘Columbus, O., June 19.—Although miners are receiving the highest wa- ges ever paid them and the demand for coal is far in excess of the supply, many Ohio miners are actually sut-| fering from hunger, according to Geo. W. Savage, secretary-treasurer of the Ohio United Mine Workers. Mr. Sav- age has received an appeal for aid from miners at Byesville, Guernsey county. The miners say they have been averaging only one day's work a week for some time owing to the car shortage. According to Mr. Savage mines fur- nishing railroad fuel are able to op- erate on full time and he severely ‘crit- icizes the interstate commerce com- mission for alleged discrimination. “We have been trying for years to get an equitable distribution of cars.” Mr. Savage said. “The interstate commerce commission has promised but never acted. .
