HE DOGGONE CIVILIAN ARMY 10
ALL DRESSED UP.
The proposed Fl. Sheridan civilian
military training camp is in sad
plight. Looks like it is going to prove
a ffzzle and if it does the loop sheets,
especially the Trib, will have to eat
large mess of humble pie.
Request of a local army official
upon Washington for camp parapher-
MALTA brought the reply that more in
terest will have to be shown or no
school will be started.
When the camp was planned the
loop sheets all predicted 500 enlist
ments in a few days time But the
total to date is but 215.
"Send substitutes to camp If you
can't co.. says Trib today in urging
business men to save the camp. The
Trib suggests that business men who
lack sufficient patriotism to do a
months work in learning how to
fight for Old Glory pay $40 to send
a recruit in their place. eff you can't
afford the $40, why not take a SIS or
500 share in one rookie" says the
Trib.
If this plan goes through; look out
for some designations. 1t was an
nounced when the camp was plan
ned that it was to be exclusive" and
the blue stocking boys are not going
to mix with any common university
grads who have to have their way
paid. 1t would be getting away from
one purpose of the camp, which is to
train the scions of big business in
militarism so as to give them a firm
er advantage over the common herd.

The heavy hardware editor
of the Souris Messenger is stag

one shoulder and on the other,
like unto Atlas of old, is en-
d~eavoring to negotiate the en-

editor is suffering with an in
growing crouch and a DISPOSE

owner.
He apparently labors under
the delusion that virtue and
righteousness must manifest
itself in growing, grumbline
and general mental debility.
He also handles the truth with
a reckless abandon for a man

WHEN Editor Richter of the
L.arimore Pioneer sent a tele-
gram of commentator and
congratulations to Gov. Hanna
upon his departure on the Ford
peace ship, on behalf of the
North Dakot t Press associa-
ton, he appears to have over
stepped his authority az presi-
dent of that organization. The
newspaper publishers of the
state are by no means a unit on
the advisability of the govern
or's mission, and, whatever the
sentiment of the newspaper
boys may be. there had been
no official action taken that
would warrant this presump-
ton on the part of Mr.. Richter.
Az an individual he had the
right to commend the govern
or's mission. Az president OF
the North Dakota Press associ-
alton, and speaking officially
for that body, he had no such
authority.

ABOUT a month ago We sent
out statements to about 7OC
subscribers who were in arrears
for The Courant. We have re.
ceived responses from less than
two hundred of these up-to.

We do not make a practice OF
dunning delinquents through
the newspaper. but wish to
take this opportunity of re.
minding out friends who are
in arrears for the Courant that
we can use the money to good

less Bottineau county, or
some similar legend. In this
way Bottineau county as a
whole could be advertised and
the individual towns would not
be robbed of any credit or glory.
The suggestion is a splendid
one and it would cost but little
to put it into execution. On
account of it being a county
movement, perhaps the matter
properly belongs to the board
of county commissioners for
consideration.

For !, instance, in the last

Thereupon this exponent Of
