None of the vigor displayed in the recent primaries should be abated one jot or tittle. There is much work ahead if sane, rep- resentative and constitutional government is to be restored unsullied by class consciousness and vicous propaganda. There is danger that the campaign may de- scend to mere issues of personalities. If it hits such a level nothing but failure is in store. The anti-Townley voters of the state are not interested primarily in the quarrels within the league ranks only in so far as they impress the members of that organization with the kind of autocratic edifice reared in North Dakota in the name of freé government. The, defection ‘of Waters and Brinton is not particularly germane to the issues of the cam- paign. Their accusations should be placed before a grand jury and if. substantiated ' indictments and trial should follow. These men seek to mar- ket their charges at so much a line, thus to gar- ner the dollars denied them through longer as- sociation with the flesh pots of Townleyism. The independent Republicans and Democrats have re- fused to be drawn into their personal quarrel or to bring the campaign down to the level of billings- gate, vituperation and cheap invective. None of the vital issues of the campaign are involved in the Brinton-Waters episode, but the peace officers of this state might bestir themselves. The fact that not one material step has been taken would indicate that the whole mess savors of rank po- litical propaganda behind which is little of a sub- stantial nature. The election cannot be won. in North Dakota by beating the tom-toms of per- sonal grievance. It is to the credit of the independents that they have refused absolutely to adopt any of the dis- gruntled league leaders who left the fold not for principle but because their palms were no longer crossed with the filthy luere—the only bait that seems to attract them. There can be but one major issue—the speedy restoration of a representative government, freed from the demoralyzing influence of class strife. Hewing ‘to that line and with that always in view, North Dakota can be redeemed. _ DIRECT ACTION Wall Street’s bomb outrage brings the nation face to face with the exponents of direct action to gain their ends—industrial revolution and com- munism. There seems little doubt but that the plot was planned and conceived by radicals who expected that the catasthrope would-be a signal for mass action th¥otighout thé" United States. The nation has dealt leniently with its O’Hares,, Eastmans, and other agitators who preach either openly or secretly against the free institutions of America. : It is to be hoped that the tragedy of Wall Street will impress the administration too indul- gent with clackers, dangerous aliens and convicted seditionists. United States seems to be a fertile * field in which ‘to hatch out the disabolical plots of the Reds and other class agitators. The officials now probing the plot may never bring the guilty to light. Miscreants may go un- punished to continue the bloody work of direct action. : Society, however, is not impotent against these assassins. It can by strict vigilance and the uti- lization of every agency at hand run them to their lair. They are enemies of organized.society and should be given short shrift when apprehended. The manner in which the financial capital of the nation met the emergency is praiseworthy. There was no panic, The Exchange opened on time to a minute. It was the American answer to a band of caloused cut-throats and cowardly mur- derers. : A MODERN DON QUIOTE Don Quiote’s charge of the windmills was no more naive and ridiculous than Comrade “Bill” Lemke’s drive upon the “People’s” railroad com- missioners, Dupuis, Aandahl and Milhollan, elected and inducted into office by the grace of Arthur C. Townley and the acclaim of his utopians. When Comrade “Bill” does a true and noble act, they open up a new keg of printer’s ink in the Courier-News office, unravel a few yards of perfectly good and scarce white newsprint: and smear eulogies that thunder forth in true sopho- moric cadences. “SaineseBgebunatelyyeNorth Dakota ‘has not entirely lost her sense of humor under the complete dom- ination of the soviet regime. The people can still} smile and not be taxed for the indulgence. The spectacle of Lemke saving the state from Townley’s board of railroad commissioners puts the grotesque outbursts of Don Quiote complete- ly in the shade. Here’s the spot light, “Bill” just continue your gyratory antics. , BISMARCK’S TERRITORY Get acquainted trips should carry with them the best spirit in community effort. Bismarck businessmen are planning to invade the country to the north whose friendship and patronage the Capital City cherishes and: appreciates. There is no question of the sincerity of the welcome in store for the envoys of Bismarck. Everyone desires that this city serve to the best of its ability the many needs of the territory ad- jacent and within its natural and rightful com- mercial radius. The men who leave their businesses to carry the greetings of the Capital Ciy to our feighbors desérve the commendation and heartily coopera- tion of every business man. Theirs is no small service, : , WORTH SAVING : The East Ohio Gas Co.,-alias Standard Oil, is going to make it worth while for the customers tc save gas. “There is but one way to force effective econ- omy,” declares the little brother of the Standard Oil. , ee And that way? “Increasing the cost,” replies the East Ohio. Can it be that all the profiteers have no other ‘goal than teaching the dear public to save? : THE MIDDLE WEST Governor Cox basking in the sunshine of Cal- ifornia will find little comfort in the Illinois prim- ary retyrns. Two candidates ran in the Repub- lican primaries and they received a combined vote of 700,000 while the two Democratic candidates hardly polled 100,000. It is looking more and more like a seven to one shot in Harding’s favor. CHICAGO “I think it is terrible that in a civilized com- munity such rough and rowdy methods should prevail,” observed a man who had just read the, story of Chicago’s primary murder and riots. “But Chicago isn’t civilized,” replied another. Which is sufficient editorial itself. What has become of Mitch Palmer’s bold Bol- shevik bugaboo? The newest dance is called the “Cat Step.” It must be a fence-y dance. It’s going tobe hard to.keep Greater New York from winning a pennant. Some of the skilled. sugar manipulate ap- pear to have gone into the coal business. Franklin D, Roosevelt was given a loving-cup, thus reviving interest among dry Republicans. Our new college seniors have until June to learn how to fetch this country out of its troubles.

LEMKE, SOAP BOXER Commisar Lemke told a street corner audience from his soapbox Saturday night that The Forum is taking the lead in opposing action for “just freight rates” in North Dakota. That is about, as close to the truth as Mr. Lemke usually gets. ‘ Mr. Lemke’s precious railroad commissioner: whom he and his fellow political gangsters picked and elected, were responsible for the unjust rates, and now he is trying to get them to undo their blunder. If he is successful, the state will be back where it would have been if he had had a railway commission that knew enough not to let itself be bamboozled as Mr. Lemke says his commission was. Mr. Lemke’s plan of getting just freight rates for North Dakota is to elect such a railway com- mission as he picked out for us, and then correct their mistakes in the courts after the damage has been done, and do it with a brass band to make votes for Bill Lemke. The Forum’s plan of getting justice in rail- way rates is to elect g railway commission with a little brains, intelligence, common sense and in- dependence. Mr. Lemke’s gang got the state into the mess it now is in, and it is up to him to pull the state out or take the political consequences. Mr. Lem- ke, in our opinion, is opposing just freight rates in working for the re-election of the only com- missioner .who seeks -re-election-xergo Foruttl| a both seém to be afmed at the middle-class | SA RE RUIN | SUCH A HEADACHE ) | GUES: THAT MULE NEW YORK ANSWERS THE “REDS” By Darwin P. Kingsley, President, New York Life Insurance Company At twelve o’clock on Thursday, the sixteenth, the voice of Bolshevism was heard at the corner of Wall and Broad streets in New York, at the point where the business energies of the world centre. Whether the blast that seemingly wrecked the district, killed thirty peo- ple, largely boys and girls, wounded three hundred and did enormous dam- age to property was a bomb, oma group of bombs; or an automobile loaded with high explosives, it was tne voice of the “Red,” the shriek of the of all the forces that hate organized society. This morning, the seventeenth, came New York's answer. The streets were clean; “the broken windows had been largely replaced; every bank and business house was open; the gong in the Stock Exdhange sounded sharp at ten o’clock and the world’s greatest exchange opened with rising prices. The transformation from the ruin and panic of Thursday to the orderly pro- cesses of Friday is our answer to the bloody demands of disorder. We are a’very patient people; sometimes: we seem to be a very foolish people., W2 elect blatherskites to office sometimes —and thereby encourage the forces of disorder. Under the aegis of free speech we tolerate utterances which an orderly society can not tolerate with safety. Only now and then by the peaceful program of law do we send one of these enemies of liberty to the Federal prison in Atlanta or some other sate place. And then a group of kindred spirits here make the prisoner a candidate for the presidency; and we smile at it. We tolerate.a press that daily by most insidious processes appeal to all the ignorance in our population, lying with “half-truths, constantly appeal- ing to passion and avarice. But back of all this seeming weak- ness lie the solid qualities of Ameri- can citizenship; which cannot be stampeded, which intend to preserve and keep the-priceléss heritage which includgg, the Tight to life, liberty and the pursuit of, happiness. From a pedce loving people we were transformed in a night—back in 1917 (which already seems long ago)—into a grimly de- termined fighting nation. strated to the amazement and tothe consternation of imperialistic peoples that’ our democracy at least is quite able to take care of itself. Friday morning the Seventeenth the business men of New York spoke as the Nation spoke on April 6, 1917. Many ‘of us have long known that the Red menace existed and where it existed. All of us again know that while these men can suddenly com- mit murder, can slaughter innocent people, can create short periods of terror, they have not—not even with the aid of a yellow and lying press— corrupted the elements of our citizen- .

HEALTH ADVICE | BY, UNCLE SAM, M. D. > a | | oe . MILK Milk may be a builder or a menace to health! Ofa 11 diseases transmitted by milk, tuberculosis is the most dangerous Tubercolosis from milk is either of human or bovine origin. .Human in- fection of milk is rare. The most important source of milk born. tuberculosis comes through the tuberculosis cow. Careful ‘studies by physicians indicate that about 25 per cent of all cases of tuberculosis in children under 16 are due to infection from milk or milk products. This has been proved by the exami- nation of milk and the testing of cows. Studies of the milk supplies of cities in all parts of the world have shown that from 5 to 15 per cent of the raw milk sold contains tuberculosis germs. ‘This-makes it important that all milk be. pasteurized before it reaches the consumer. The testing of cows with tuberculin has shown that from 15 to 40 per cent of the milk cows are infected with tu- berculosis. Spreading of disease through milk frequently iappens through the care- less habits of a human being. This may be true anywhere from the time ~~ EVERETT TRUE IMY SEAT TOA LADY | WANT HERO HAVE IT, NoT ‘oul! :} WHEN I GET UP To ave E & RPS, the milk comes from the cow until it reaches the consumer. Hair on Arms and Hands, Q. 1s there a cure for a heavy rowth of hair on the arms or hands? e used depilatories, but find it only grows faster and stronger. Would it be safe to have the roots ‘removed as advertised, or would it be danger- i ous? A.

Just now “society” is dull here and manv of the diplomatic women, as well as the men, are sojourning in Paris. Even many of the diplomatic repre- sentatives from South and Central American countries have gone to Eu- rope, where wine flows freely and there are no Volstead laws to im- pede gaiety. * Josephine Berry, 20-year-old negro girl, made a law of her own, with a penalty of death attached for any one who conspired to steal “her man.” She believed this punishment just, and when Ada King tried to steal “her man” she jnflicted it on Ada. Maybe Josephine, only an ignorant girl, learned from Uncle Sam how to make laws, and how to fix and administer the punishment— For now Uncle Sam, with great de- liberation, is going to slay her on the just as Josephine slew Ada in heat of passion for “steal- ing her man,” as Josephine tersely put it at the trial. It is the doctrine of “an eye for an eye” and originated with the savages. This’ case has been put up to Pres- ident Wilson and he has refused to in- terfere, although the two district at- torneys who prosecuted her have re- quested that the sentence be commut- ed to life imprisonment. -—____ | JUST JOKING J] * ae ° On the Dry Bathing Beach Mabel—That's a lovely bathing suit you're wearing.

When Grant first ran for president in 1868, his Republican backers all ov- er the country sang this parody on “Auld Lang Syne”: Should have Ulysses be forgot, Who worked so long and well On fields where fires of Death were hot, And brave men fought and fell. Enough songs to fill a hymnbook were written around this famous sol- dier during his first and second cam- paigns. Here’s another: So, boys, a final bumper While we in chorus chant, For next president we nominate Our own Ulysses Grant. And if asked what State he hails from, This our sole reply shall be— From near Appomattox Court House, ‘With its famous apple tree. For'’twas there to our Ulysses That Lee gave up the fight. Now, boys! To Grant for president, And God defend’ the right! But when Grant wanted to be the Republican nominee for a third term, the song writers went over to the op- position and turned out this gem: “It will be a damned shame,” cried — Fred, “If father is not nominated;” Aud so when the. shame came out through Jim Blaine— Our Fred Bowed his head, Wept like a water-cart, it is said, An bowled like a bull-dog under a shed.
