Bonds

According to James j. Hill, "the
country is waterlogged with bonds.
Why, James, how could you? Is il
possible that the stocks which are
mostly water have leaked on the
bonds? But since you have consider
able experience in the watering" line,
we will accept your diagnosis as we
would any other testimony of an ac-
nal.
High financiers discovered several
years ago that the word bond" had
almost a magic influence on the mind
of man. Therefore high fnanciers set
about contriving and selling bonds.
How well they succeeded is manifest
in the present waterlogged condition
There are first and second and third
mortgage bonds, there are consolidat-
and plain and fancy bonds, railroad
bonds, industrial bonds, oil bonds, coal
bonds, timber bonds, tobacco bonds,
steamship bonds, automobile bonds,
striped, checked, plain, pinked and
polkadotted bonds, besides a hole
category of government, municipal,
state, county, precinct, school and
road bonds. A bond has come to mean

bonds) little more than a freckle on
a girls nose. 1t may be a perfectly
good bond and be worth what it costs,
just as the freckle may be a perma-
nent ornament to girls snoot and alb
solutely setfast But bond because
it is bond is no more entitled to be
considered an enduring bit of pigmen-
tation. Things happen to a freckle
which operate utterly to destroy ~,
and things happen to a bond which OPP
crate to impair its usefulness. At this
moment there are less than half a
dozen bonds listed on the New York
Stock EXchange-supposed to be the
most gilded-edged of all bOnds-which
are worth as much today as they were
year ago, 1t is not to be assumed
from this that bonds properly issued
and properly based on intrinsic values
are not good investments. They are
certainly. But the mania for selling
bonds has so grown upon the high
financiers that they have flooded the
world with that class of paper, and
the natural trade and commerce and
productivity of the earth have not been
sufficient to sustain the burden. Goo,

! to defend our country against enemies
Is patriotic work and many OF the mer
who have left the Guard have given
assurance that il an emergency they
will quickly return to the colors.
Whether we like 1t or not, we must
have soldiers In every state and ma
ton, Just as we have the police in the
cities, and all should understand and
appreciate the American soldier. II
there Is any body Of citizens who de-
serve the respectful consideration and
gratitude of the people Of the country
it is the national guardsmen. the men
who are willing to devote their time
and energy to the public service with.
out adequate compensation and often
at the sacrifice Of health and life, and
in these busy days OF commercialtsm
we need, as a people and as individ-
uals, patriotic impulse and influence.
That eventually the national guard
Of the various states will be called up
on to restore order In Mexico seems
certain and the only question Is. when
such step will be necessary.
While the army men are reucent
upon the subject and invariably reply
oall questions with the regulation
statement: you know as much
about it as I do, all the information
we have is what We get from the pa
pers."
That the guardsmen will be neces-
sary in case trouble arises, goes with
out argument. In Mexico there are
more than 100000 people and the
uprising against the government Is
not confined to any one district, but
permeates the whole country. More
than $6,o00,0O0,00O of foreign capital
is invested there and foreign govern
ments demand that such enormous In
vestments be properly protected.
The men of the North Dakota Ma
tional Guard are in good condition and
capable Of being entrained within a
few hours should a call be given, and
the members of the Guard show that
they anticipate action within a short
time and possible mobilization Of
troops in southern camps.
So, here is to our guests, the guards
men, and may their visit to the CAPT
tai city be made a pleasant one, and
may our people take special pains to
see that they are treated will all the
courtesy due the men who are ready
to fight for anything that is right.
