BISMARCK PEOPLE WOULD
GET BACK MONEY PUT UP
TO BUILD STATE ARMORY

Bismarck folk are particularly inter-
ested in House Bill 3S9, which was in
troduced Saturday by the house COM
mittee on appropriations. The bill car
ries an appropriation Of $4,000 to be
devoted to reimbursing Bismarck bus
inessmen who loaned their faith and
credit to the state in order that the
armory of Co. A, North Dakota ma
tional guards, might be erected.
A number of capital city folk went
on notes required to secure the build
ing of the armory, with the under
standing that the state would get back
of the project and that they would not
be required to dig down in their own
pockets. They felt that inasmuch as
the business interests of the city have
always striven to support Co. A in all
its undertakings, that the armory
should be made a state enterprise, and
they were assured it would be.
But something went wrong, and at
ter paying interest on their notes for
several years, the guarantors got to-
gether at the Commercial club roorSs
and agreed to take their medicine,
each man drawing bulky check with
which to discharge his obligation. It
is believed the legislature will see fit
to reimburse these people, whose pub
lic-spiritedness for once got away
with their business judgment.

AS TRANSLATED.

No lingo, no jingo-but if you are
an American you must have felt some
thing that quietly warmed your heart
as you watched how the country took
the break with Germany.
Not a demonstration anywhere, not
the rafting of one sabre, no public
assemblies, no clamor in the streets,
no crowds marching about cheering
for war, no threats, no boastings Of
how we should eat them alive, but
everywhere, all OF sudden, two
things:
Full recognition OF the seriousness
OF the step and full resolve to 60
through with it, no matter what might
happen.
Pretty good country-what? Those
that were in Europe in the troublous
days at the end of July and beginning
Of August, 1914, don't need to have
the difference pointed out to them.
In times Of peace, ladies and gen,
tlemen that preach disloyalty and non
resistance make some noise and pa
rade to and fro as II they really
to something. Forget them
all.
Let any test come, and see what
really are and really think
about their flag and their ideals.

falls Of the Potomac, 1G miles up the
river. A guard was also placed on the
Southern Railway bridge over the Pc.
tCmac, which is the one crossing for
all traffic east of Harper's Ferry. The
guards about the White House have
been doubled, and special arrange
ments nave been made to tag the
president when he goes to Keith's and
up to the capitol building.
War Regime.
At the navy yard a war regime has
been instituted. All employees must
have passes on which their photo
graph is to appear, and passes are
now required even of the accredited
newspaper correspondents in entering
the state, war and navy building or
the White House. The guards at the
navy yard have discarded their peace
time sabre and substituted a standard
AZ callnre army revolver.
Most Of these activities are merely
the result OF habit and convention
atty. The only difference in the real
situation is slight increase in the
activities of the crank variety. The
president and other prominent Off
Gals daily get raft of threatening
letters. This always happens when
there is any unusual excitement in
the country, political or otherwise.
Presidents Guard.
The presidents guards are really
to handle cranks of the harmless and
occasionally Of the dangerous variety.
In almost every crowd there is some
misguided individual, male or female,
who has a matter of the utmost i'm.
portance to be presented personally
to the chief magistrate of the nation.
Probably this is a survival Of that
simple period when the head of The
tribe was Judge and executioner Ut
sentences and all his people came to
him for justice. The secret service
men-so-called-have to keep these
people away from the president, who
always has other more important bust

The talk of guarding the president
against assassination is mere talk.
No president is ever really guarded
a gainst that danger. A man sufficient.
ly crazed to be willing to assassinate
and to give OR risk his own life in the
process. has a hundred opportunities
every day to carry out his insane puf'-
pose. Every president who has been
assassinated is the victim of this con-

CONTROLLING OUR WIRELESS.

A bill is pending in Congress to give
control of every wireless telegraph
company in America to the navy de-
partment In time of war control OF
land telegraph lines is comparative
ly simple matter The army simply
seizes the telegraph lines and mans
them.
But the messages that may be flash
ed through the trackless air-perhaps
to an enemy-are more difficult OF
control.
The wireless may be such a source
of peril in war time that it should be
controlled and operated by the gov.
eminent in peace time.
A very good thing for Congress to
do would be to make an emergency
measure of the pending bill, and pass
it quickly.

LINCOLN-A LEADER.

Today, while honOring the memory
Of Abraham Lincoln, greatest Ameri-
can, let us reflect upon the lessons
Of Lincoln's life as applied to our
problems Of today.
Leaders, not rulers, are the need OF
the world, today as in Lincoln's time.
We think of Lincoln as the man OF
the people 1.-THE commoner; the demo-
crat; whose views were those of the
great, intelligent masses; whose feel
ings, those of the men who toll.
But we should not think of him as
the ordinary man. .....
Understand this difference!
Lincoln, born lowly, son Of a shift
less father, spent his days in
honest toll and pored far into the
night, by Pickering candle, over few
books he could borrow from more for
tunate neighbors.
With a determination rare in the hui
man race, he set about to become a
master of knowledge, and by his own
untiring zeal he raised himsef from
an unlettered mountain yokel to the
most exalted position that man can
bestow.
That is why Lincoln, the commoner
was not an ordinary man.
Lincolns must spring from the com.
mon people, for only the common peo-
pie can have the true brotherly out
look upon the problems and trials
that beset mankind.
God hasten the time when the com
mon people will produce more Lin
coins!
