4 NEW political party has recently
y sprung up in the state and will
put up as strong a bid as it is able to
for votes at the coming election. The
new party is known as the North
Dakota German Alliance, and its chief
excuse for being is to secure a resub-
mission of the state prohibition law.
In other words, those at the head of it
are desirous that the state take a great
backward step and permit the re-es-
adjustment of the liquor traffic within
Its borders. They already assert
their ability to turn 1000 votes their
way, and as they are known to be
backed by almost limitless wealth
with which to corrupt voters, it is we'll
that those who are opposed to the open
saloons and all the misery and sorrow
they entail, be wide awake to the situa-
ton. 1t Is scarcely probable that re-
submission of the liquor question
could be carried in this state, but that
is no reason why those who are opposed
to it should sit supinely down while
danger menaces.

T 1NCLE Sam is adding 2 5000 per-
- IONS to his pnblio pay rolls every
year. The fourty-eight states and the
hundreds of cities, counties and towns
are steadily becoming more otice-rid-
den. 1t is a big leap, as Congress-
man Fitzgerald says, from $40, 900 to
49, 900 Federal employees since 1909,
but the city and state governments
have also done equally we'll in the
scramble to multiply the number of po-
litieal plums. Americas public-job
class-the total number who live at
the Taxpayers expense cannot be
short of 1900, 900 persons. Nearly all
of them are non-producers. They
spend their time governing the rest OF
US while we pay their salaries. Amer
leans often talk OF the crime of the big
standing armies in Europe, which are
non-producers. Europe hasn't any

~ are often VIGOROUSLY lax in met
ing out justice to criminals, but woe
betide the man or men who run count
or to Federal law. Sooner or later
they are brought up standing-;und
then they r bound to get about what
is coming. And it matters not what
their position In the world may be. An
illustration of this is furnished in the
case of John Jelke, Chicago million
aire manufacturer of oleomargerine,
who was recently convicted on charges
of violation of Federal law relating to
the manufacture and sale of imita-
ton butter, and sentenced to a fine of

THE death of General Daniel E.
L Sickles In New York last Sunday,
marks the passing Of one of the most
notable characters in American his
tory Of the past century. AS scholar,
statesman, diplomat, soldier, he was
almost peerless. For four years he
has honored his country as minister to
Spain, end besides serving as repre-
sentative in congress had held many
other high political positions. AS a
soldier in the civil war he was distin-
guished, rising by merit to brigadier
general. Notwithstanding the fact
that he and his wife had lived apart
for twenty five years, the %estrange-
ment having been caused by another
woman, Mrs. Sickles remained true to
her husband and was at his bedside
whom death came.

aspects, the finest in Jul military his.
tory. 1t is tho finest In the wonderful
example it has furnished of national
self.control and patience; in the almost
universal recognition Of the higher
law of moral right and moral duty; in
the earnest desire, not only on the
part of the administration, but of the
masses of the people, to search our
own consoisnoes and hearts and to
proceed with absolutely clean hands
and pure motives.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION

The 26th annual Sunday School con-
vention of Steele county was held at
Finley, on Saturday and Sunday last,
and as usual provoked a rain storm.
The inclement weather prevented a
large attendance but couldnot dampen
the ardor of the workers nor prevent
q profitable conference.
Under the capable leadership of Mr..
M. B. Cassell, the county President,
another year has passed and Steele
county goes up to the State convention
in jamestown the first of June with a
clean record. having for the second
consecutive year maintained the high
est standard, that known as the ''2Oth
Century County," Only three 9th err
counties reached this classification a
year ago.
Rev. and Mrs. w. A. Snow brought
echoes from the Worlds Sunday
School Convention in Zurich, July
1913. They also, in their various con-
tributions to the convention program
gave new proof of the wisdom of the
State workers in choosing these con-
secrated and talented leaders to in
spire and direct the Sunday School
host of this commonwealth.

tative from each school in the county

this connection the newly organized
school In Blabon gave q good account
of itself and proved it's right to take
rank with any other organization in
up-to.date and progressive methods.

OUNCE United States troops have

in the various Colorado coal mines

whole section is still in the most in

the slightest overt act on the part of

eminent will find some means of amic-
ably settling the labor troubles Of not

ton of the country where large numb
