CHINESE WALL
AROUND CARY

In a graphic recital in which he
did not assail the giant corporation
that founded Gary but in which he
carefully and deliberately traced
the growth of conditions that has
made Gary unusual among Ameri-
can cities, the community as well
as its citizens being more or less
reduced to state Of dependency.
DR.. Frank w Smith, chairman
Of the Independent party, told the
audience at Military hall last night
Of the effects of being overshadow-
ed by the satraps of a concern,
who not only rule industrially,
control commercially, shut out
rivals from their principaIity, but
also seek to assume political die
tatorship. The topic of the speech
was Dependents or Independ-
ents."
The chairmans' speech was a
plea for the people Of Gary to d.
rect their own government. De
spite the wether the hall was
packed.

and what it has already done for man

And then the spectacle OF France
bleeding from a thousand wounds ana
still fighting on and making all these
terrific sacrifices, not for herselt

us more every day. In the light OF
these things, dollars look cheap, busl-

THE PACIFISTS.

The pacifists have been singing
pretty low ever since the exposure OF
Germany's treacherOus offer Of Unit
ed States territory to Mexico if Mex
leo and Japan would join Germany
in making war on this country
But we have had too much expert
ence with the pacifist breed during
the past few years of their efforts to
make the country helpless to defend
itself not to expect renewal Of their
Vaccinations whenever it seems to
them that they con do the most harm
to the country. .'-
1t is an open secret that, in con.
nection with certain other German
sympathizers, they are organizing
their forces for drive on Congress
in an effort to prevent enactment OF
preparedness legislation i. vital to the
country's safety.
The chief objective of their drive
is to kill any bill that may be intro
duced providing for universal mill.
tary training.
1t goes without saying this effort to
hamstring the nation will be entirely
Hacking IN sincerity, whoever the men
may be who will lend their influence
to it.
There was time not so very long
ago, when we were inclined to the
charitable view that some of the men
and women who INDUCED in the child
ish prattle which is the language of
pacifsm were sincere but misguided
Since it has become matter Of
common knowledge that the organiza-
ton and direction of pacifist propa-
ganda in this country is part of the
German governments plan to dope
public sentiment, it no longer is pos
sible to give any pacifst, or group Of
pacifsts, much credit for patriotic
motives.

NEED MILITARY TRAINING.

The medical sharps at Harvard uni
versity have discovered that Of the
freshman class of 746 members only
one-tifth can stand properly, walk
properly or carry, themselves prop
erly.
The docs say that This is a very Sc
rious matter because these four in
every five young men that are thus
mistrcating their spine3 are thereby
laying themselves open to disease and
robbing themselves Of half their eft1'
cheney.
The TAG are typical youths from all
parts of the country. II four in five
OF them are wrong, probably four in
five of all the rest are Just as wrong.
A little military training would
have corrected all this and brought
the young men up to physical par.
But we cans have any military
training in this country. They can
have it all right in other democracies,
but we can't have it here.
Why not?
Well, band of inspired mollycod-
dies, cranks and eace-at-any-pricers
has discovered that lurking behind
any training of this kind is hideous
hobgoblin called Militarism. Nobody
else can see him. He just turks, and
he has flaming eyes and terrible, pro-
jecting teeth, and the minute any
young man begins to train he leaps
upon us and makes an end Of us.
So, of course, it is a great deal bet
ter to 90 on being unprepared and
having four in five Of our young men
physically defective, as well as I'M
skilled in the national defense.
Because it must be far better tc be
destroyed by the miitarism Of anr:l:-
err country than to have any degree
Of efficiency here. We admit that
this may not seem quite clear at first.

Laborers are getting so scarce in
this part Of the northwest that when
Tony Zuchbermaye, German, applied
for work at local hotel this week,
the management was so glad to get
his services that he complied with the
request of Tony and paid him in ad-
vance.
Tony got his money and then left
the city. In Judge Dolans court a
warrant was sworn to charging lob
tanning money under false pretenses."
Tony purchased a ticket to Fargo,

Permanent Improvement
Which May Be Enjoyed BY
All Generations to Come

, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets; sanitary sewers
have been built in the west part of
town and on Eleventh, Twelfth, Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth, and sewer
has been ordered in on the south side
OF the tracks. Bids for this last-named
Improvement are to be received at an
early meeting OF the commission, and
the work should be completed this
spring
At an early date the water mains on
Eleventh street will be extended to
the Boulevard, serving a large and
rapidly developing section in the
northeastern part Of the city, and on
Thayer, from Washington to Mandan
avenue. Water mains have been Or
dered in on Twelfth street south of
the tracks, and it is expected that this
construction will be completed early
this spring.
Storm Drainage.
The storm drainage system is prac-
tically complete, embracing the great
er part Of the city and constituting
one Of the greatest physical improve
ments Bismarck has enjoyed since it
became city. This drain crosses the
tracks on Eighth street and in time
will do much to relieve flood condi-
tons which have obtained in previous
years in the south part of town.
In all some IS blocks Of water
main extensions, several miles Of
storm drain and great amount of
sanitary sewer construction may be
noted as achievements of the present
administration which have aided in
the development of a city which is
growing so rapidly that it is extreme
ly difficult for its public utilities to
keep pace.
Fair And Impartial.
The administration under the pres
ent commission has been fair and i'm
partial. No thought has been given
to the development of one part Of the
city at the expense of another. No
selfish Partially has been shown in
any instance, and all that has been
done has been with view to the
greatest number The commission
has not been controlled by any force
or faction; it has been responsive to
the will of the people in everything,
and it has given Bismarck All honest,
efficient administration at very crit
ical point in the city's career when
complete confidence in its commission
was essential.

Paving has sometimes been referred
, to as an expensive luxury, a temper
! airy improvement which must be re-
| placed at the end of certain num-
Der of years. 1t is true that the sur
facing OF any pavement, no matter OF
what type, will wear out in time, but
the concrete base as it is being laid in
Bismarck is an improvement to whose
life there is practically no limit, and
upon which any number Of new top
coats may be laid, as the necessity
arises.
1t is estimated by competent engin-
! GERS that with the comparatively
small volume of traffic to which the
paving will be subjected in Bismarck S
residence section, the top surface of
asphalt will last with proper mainten-
ance Is years or more. At the end OF
that time it can be replaced at cost
of approximately so cents per yard, a
trivial expense as compared with the
first cost
Is Il Permanent improvement.
The paving which the present COM
mission has contracted for must,
therefore, be regarded in the light of
a permanent improvement. 1t has so
been considered by the commission in
insisting upon substantial five-inch
base Of the best grade of concrete, and
property holders will have the salts
faction of knowing that they are buy
ing something which may be enjoyed
by their children and their children s
something which, with very
ordinary care, will ever remain a
credit and a convenience to the capital
city.
1t should also be borne in mind that
all figures which have been quoted in
connection with the. cost of paving
cover the cost of curbing and gutter,
excavating and the grading of the
streets. There will be no "eXtras.'
There will be no unexpected addition

payer after he has committed himself.
There is no uncertainty about it.

WHO PAYS?

The kinShip OF American paclIlSll
and Prussian mlitarism is becoming
palmer every day.
Their objects have always been the
same, to make America helpless.
d 1t has, been hard to distinguish
much of the pacifist movement from
. the REORGANIZATION German prop
aganda!'f - .... 3 e.. .".'
The leaders of both have often
worked hand in hand.
Nothing illustrates, the likeness Of
their methods. better than the crook
edness of their publicity. The same
.sndirection and vaguenes2, the same
suppression of vital facis, the same
ignoring Of all Important distinctions
marks the "Overseas News Nsency'
dispatches pumped over from Berlin
by Sayville wireless and the state
ments given out by the pacitist lead
ers and organization.
Neither finds it possible to deal
straight with the people.
The recent postcard referendum
on war" staged by pacifist organiza
ton started with misrepresentation
People we're asked TO mark postcards
against war and mail them in to Con
gressmen on the assurance that Ger
many had guaranteed safe passage
to American passenger ships not car
rying contraband. Germany had done
no such thing.
One of the alleged reasons urged
by pacifists against compulsory
training law is that the war depart
ment will be too busy organizing the
volunteers and the regular army, ant
should not be distracted from this
task.
The very same pacifists. who are
now so solicitous about the regular
army, were fighting any increase Of
the regular army at the last session
of Congress. They told congressman
that no army was needed because 6
powerful navy was sufficient defense
When the navy bill was up before
the committee they told congressman
that no navy increases were needed
because this country would never be
attacked.
The very same men who fought the
increase in the regular army before
the house committee and declaimef
against professional soldiery,' tell
ing congressman that democratic
army" on the Swiss plan was the on
ly thing and that professional arm
les" were out of date, went right over
to the Senate committee and fought
the Chamberlain bill for universe
service because, they said, the reg
ular army" and first line Of defense
should be built up before the task o.
creating reserves is undertaken.
OF course, what they are really at
ter is no army or navy at all.
Theorists of this sort are entitled
to their opinions in free country
but when they play crooked, as in the
foregoing, it is enough to arouse the
suspicion that there are other forms
of crookedness.
1t is short step from lying to tax
ing brides. The peace lobby is well
financed at Washington. We know
that Germany has spent millions
through Wolf, Won Igel and other dis
bursting agents to promote her peace
propaganda, her fight against the ex
port of munitions, her effort to clamp
on a food embargo and to buy OF
threaten newspapers with losses OF
or advertising.
The peace lobby should be investi-
rated. The people are entitled to
