aper for your business, the first
question would be as to his
qualifications.
If you were engaging the SER
vices of professional man, you
would ask first if he were quail
fed.
Why should not the same rule
be applied to political affairs 7
The various candidates for the
position of congressman in the
FIRST district of North Dakota,
are Just human beings, very
much like other humans, who
are asking us voters of the First
district for the job of represent
ing us at Washington.
What kind of man do we want
at Washington
First of all we want a thor
oughgoing American. We can t
afford to go patching up the roof
of the American democracy, I'M
til the foundation of it is safe.
Our big business is the war and
making the foundation safe.
Next we want a man who
knows the needs of the farmers,
because farming is the dominant
industry in this district, and
anything that benefits the farm
er benefits every man, woman
and child in the district. Those
who don't own farms them
selves are dependent on the
farm for their support directly
or indirectly.
Thirdly we want a real car
penter for our democratic roof,
not one who is afraid to try an
experiment if he is confident it
will be successful, and yet one
who can stand out against fan
tastic advice of dreamy or en-
Uttered advisers.
0lger B. Burtness, we believe,
is the one candidate on the
ticket who answers these re-
quirements. He is an American
first, last and always, born in
this state and this district, and
educated at our own state uni
versity. He does not claim
monopoly of patriotism, but he
does make it the chief plank in
his platform, and rightfully so.
He represents all the farmers
of the district, and not any fac
ton Of them, He was regularly
nominated as a candidate, from
caucus to convention, and was
the free and not the dictated
choice Of the convention that
chose him. He is the only bona
fide farmer on the ticket. His
chief opponent has drawn pic
lures Of farmers-an honorable
enough profession-but that no
more fits him to be a farmer or
to represent a farmer, than
writing reports of war news
fits a newspaper reporter to be
an officer.
Finally Mr.. Burtness recog-
nizes the need of economic re-
forms, both before the war is
ended and after it is over, and
he is pledged to work for them,
by a sound, progressive plat
form.
The Chicago Tribune recently an
nounced that the RED Cross was a
service for old men unfit for active
lighting. Recently four Americans
have been decorated with French
war crosses "for courage and devo-
ton in caring for wounded during a
heavy bombardment".
Since the American army arrived
IN France, safely escorted by the

THE FIELD OF WATERLOO.

More than a century ago Napoleon
met final defeat on the field Of
Waterloo, a few miles from Brussels.
In an article in this months Eng
lish Review. Major Stuart Stephens,
and English military expert, ad-
vances reasons why the decisive
battle of the present war will be
fought there. 1t Is on his knowledge
of the men in command and their
ideas of strategy, that Major Steph-
ems bases his theory.
He asserts that Hindenburg is
methodicalIy withdrawing to a new
line from Antwerp to Namur, which
passes through the field of Waterloo.
He holds the theory that America
will deliver the final and decisive
blow, in the shape of a new army
of perhaps q million men and a
great fleet Of airpianes. and that this
blow will be struck along the new
Hindenburg line.
He believes that the British re-
serves will be used up in driving
back the Germans, who are counter
attacking and defending every foot
of ground, although they must
realize that the hope of victory is
lost, and that they are simply SELL
ing themselves as dearly as possible.
He estimates that this retreat will
have reached the Antwerp Namur
line by the time America is ready
for the death blow.
The theory is interesting and
plausible, so far as any forecast on
the present war can be plausible. A
century ago the Prussians and the
British made their stand against
Napoleon at Waterloo. Today the
British and French have Joined hands
against the new menace to freedom.
Fargo paying double the price for
It's coal for next winter, lie in a posi-
ton to really grasp the wonderful
patriotism displayed by the coal
men in agreeing to lower the price
at the mine. If the producers would
cancel present contracts and make
new ones at the lower prices, they
would be making a start at reducing
until it hurts.
These are trying days for church
congregations owning bells. In Ger
many the government is taking them
to melt up for guns. In North Da-
kota they are being stolen and melt
ed for junk. 1t is getting to a stage
where churches will have to employ
watchmen or put in steam whistles.

INTROSPECTION.

Y
Should l weep, if after l have tried
and done my best,
A voice should whisper in my ear
and say, You have failed?"
Should my soul despair, if after
years of honest toll to serve
my fellow-man,
Some one less worthy claims the prize
for which I toiled?
Is there no recompense for him who
works and struggles day by
day,
To help some weary soul along the
way, and then be left behind?
All soul, Look up! There is an I'm
seen path that guides thy.
path
Plough dark and dreary seems the
way, some day you'll under
stand.
Remember, He has said, Cast all your
burdens on me, will reward
Each good and noble deed done by
man." Trust Him today.

NATIONAL GUARD JURY
EXEMPTION ARE RULER VOID

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct 12-Atlanta
business men who have been contrib
uting money to the national guard to
secure exemption from Jury. duty are
going to be held for this duty by Judge
John T. Pendleton of Fulton Superior
court, in spite of the ruling by Cliff
ford Walker, state attorney general,
that payment of such money still re-
lieves the citizen.
r. A. McGill, a prominent Atlanta
business man, has just finished serv-
ing a two-day Jail term on the charge
of contempt of court, because he en-
gagged in an argument with Judge Pen
Teton concerning the question whether
his payment of money to the national
guard relieved him of jury duty. Judge
Pendleton ruled that since the national
guard has been absorbed into the fed
eral service as a part of the armed
forces of the nation, payment of money
no longer relieves the citizen. MT.
Magill contended that it did. AS the
result of the argument, Mr.. Magill had
to go to Jail, but alter was released
when he explained to the judge that
he meant no disrespect.
Attorney General Walker has ruled
that payment Of money to the ma
tional guard continues to relieve the
citizen from jury duty in spite of the
muster of the guard into the federal
service. Judge Pendleton declares
that he will not conform to this rul-
ing until it has been 81 stained by a
higher court.
