THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) <i THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET Success of the Victory Ticket without a legis- lature pledged to bring the state back to a safe and sane program and the immediate eradication of socialistic tendencies would handicap the pro- cess of redemption. Burleigh county will nomi- nate on the republican ballot to the state legisla- ture one senator and three members of the house. An especially strong Anti-Townley republican ticket has been selected. The Tribune recom- mends the earnest support of the legislative candidates. Anti-Townley For the senate is Lynn Sperry who served this county éfficiently as treasurer. the Spanish-American war. He enlisted in For many years he has farmed successfully. His experience espe- cially qualifies him to represent Burleigh county in the senate. His colleagues are all men of high’ integrity, successful in their respective vocations. Heaton of McKenzie, Victor Anderson of Still and Harold Semling of Bismarck deserve your sup- port. , L. E. REFERRED AND INITIATED LAWS It is essential as a rebuke to the un-American propaganda of the Nonpartisan league leaders to| endorse the Anti-Red flag bill which will appear on a special ballot at the June primaries. Vote yes on this bill which prohibits the display of the emblem of the socialists, anarchists and commun- itsts. Q This is an initiated measure and should not be confused with the three laws referred to the vot- ers for their approval or rejection. On referred laws the'voters should register an emphatic NO in each instance. WITH THE SEPARATOR P Bae is getting to:such a magnitude that even judges, legislators and those who have made the laws which make divorce easy are becoming alarmed. One divorce to every nine marriages—that is the proportion for the country as a whole, Will a continuance of the “easy divorce” finally wreck the institution of marriage—the bond of society, ordained of God? This is food for serious thought. But if there must be “easy divorces,” as has been urged, the easy divorce must be an honest divorce. It must be a legal divorce, ac- cording to the law of the land—in letter and spirit. Such was not the divorce of Mary Pickford, ac- cording to the attorney general of Nevada, the state which paved the way for Mary Pickford’s marriage to Douglas Fairbanks, himself divorced by the wife who had been happily married, the mother of his children, until “a prominent movie picture actress came between them.” Nevada’s attorney general charges “collusion, conspiracy, fraud and untruthful testimony with the object of defeating the California and Nevada, laws on marriage and divorce.” He asks that the divorce granted Mary Pickford (then Mrs. Owen Moore) be set aside. Because she is a popular movie star and he a highly-paid movie actor should neither increase nor lessen Nevada’s effort to get at the truth of |, the case, nor should either have a determining influence in fixing the punishment. In the eyes of the law, which establishes a legal marriage, and in the eyes of God who ordains marriage, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks count for no more than the humblest man and woman who See fal pi Ay Ae he ee WARY ae gvtler \ SHOT AIR” NIG THIS OLO MACHINE WILL EYER woric AGAIN ~THE FARMERS THREW A PITCH Foric inTO.ER!

Cologne, June 25,— Although their war fleet lies at the bottom of the ocean, their air fleet has been dis- persed, and their once mighty army no longer exists, Germans still dream of “next wars.” I bought a pamphlet, on sale here and at Coblenz. It was by Otto. Auten- rieth and it bore the pleasing title: “The three coming wars.” The author is no piker. He visions nothing less than three world wars. In the beginning he contempuously says that France realizes she could not stand up alone against an armed Germany. Therefore she insists upon terms that will keep Germany in the mire. Turning his attention to England, he says she has brought down -her nearest great rival, Germany, .but is now confronted by two. other great rivals—Japan and America. England. has lost in the war: het influence, in the east; the safety of India; her overwhelming. sea power by the growth of Japanese and Amer- ican fleets; her mercantile might by the growth of the trade of the same may harbor the notion that a marriage is like an old coat, which one may throw off at will, and in any way desirable to the wearer.

Justice Robinson, endorsed for justice by the league and in the economic policies of the Townley organization, most instances in sympathy with joins ‘the Anti-Townley republicans in opposing the three referred measures : The Absent Voters Act; The State Sheriff bill and the measure pro- viding for An Investigation Commission, common- ly known as the “smelling committee.” His arguments against these extreme measures wholly hostile stitutions are heeded by Townleyites to the spirit of free American in- sound and his warning should be and Anti-Townleyites. There can‘be no controversy over the viciousness of these measures. -The Tribune repeats Justice Robinson’s opinion of the three referred measures which Arthur C. Townley and his gang of spell binders are urging the voters of the state to en- dorse so as to give them as much power as Lenine and Trotzky of Red Russia: “Do you care for my opinion as to how you should vote on at the next election. the statutes referred to the people It is the absent voters act, the investigation committee act, the state sheriff act.

In exercising the reason why a right of a citizen there is no good woman should be given rights or privileges different from other citizens; there is no good reason why a notary public should be permitted to mobile around the country and gath- er up the votes of women for one party or the other.

The approach to a trestle three miles from the city lim- its on the Great Western was washed appears to have been nipped by a heavy frost of disapproval. : : : But even if the back precincts should whittle away the large Preus pluralities of the early re- turns, a real victory will still have been gained that can be confirmed in November. The fight against Townleyism has been made under heavy handicaps. The direct primary sys- tem favors a compact minority like that gathered under the Nonpartisan league banners. The problem of concentrating the majority was solved by the calling of the republican convention and its action in naming a complete State Ticket. But this did not bring about the retirement of all the self-nominated aspirants, several of whom stayed in the race despite the obvious hopeless- ness of their candidacies. : But even Thomas Frankson, who refused to go into the convention and who prosecuted a vigor- ous campaign, appears to have polled less than ten per cent of the vote. Iverson, Ellsworth and Keefe were practically ignored. The lesson of this is plain. In future personal ambitions and egotistic self-advertising will be more likely to abate when the republicans of the state have spoken through a representative con- vention. It will be easier hereafter, even if the primary law remains unchanged, to join a simple issue and fight it‘out before the people: The invasion of the republican party by large numbers of voters who have no moral right there, is an evil that can be cured only by legislation. The absurdity of the present system is shown by the fact that the Townley schemers, if beaten in the primary, can still make a fight in the election with the ticket of their “farmer-labor” party. One object lesson of the returns is the refusal of the counties bordering in North Dakota to help bind on Minnesota the shackles of demagogy and extravagance they see on their neighbors across the line. They have been able to observe closely the results of Townleyism. They have seen it betray the farmer equally with the town dweller. They have seen it pile up/the burden of taxation to furnish funds for socialist carpet baggers. They want none of it in Minnesota. If Townleyism has been defeated this time, its menace will gradually disappear. If it could not win yesterday, it can never win in this state. The renomination of Walter H. Newton for congressman from the Minneapolis district is a gratifying popular recognition’ of service and worth. It is.a rebuke to Ernest Lundeen, who is again repudiated decisively by the people of Min- neapolis as well as to Judge Elliott, whose ill- timed candidacy was calculated only to help Lun- deen and to confuse the issue. The voters, how- ever, showed complete understanding of the sit- uation and concentrated on Newton successfully, | A regular Old-fashioned San Francisco fog hit the town this evening.

D., June 25.—The Towk- ley Organs of the state are this week carrying a story to the effect that an examination of the State Bank of North Dakota has been made and that everything is found in the very best order.

Another striking instance in con- nection with this fact is evidenced ‘by the statement of Joseph Litch, 4043 Enarson street, Minneapolis, Minn., regarding the results of Tan- lac in the case of his young son Robert who seemed unable to re- cover his strength, following a severe attack of pneumonia, until he began taking the (Master Medicine. “On \November fourth, said Mr. Litch, “Bobby was taken with mea- sles, later pneumonia set in, a special nurse was in constant attendance and I was told that my son had only a fighting chance of getting well.
