DISLOYAL WALL TREE

At the present time the United States government and many
patriotic people all over the country are strainlng every nerve to
make the second Liberty Loan a brilliant success.
There is no use conceaing the facts; so far, the fight has been
an uphill and discouraging one, because the subscriptions tnat
have been made have not been at all commensurate with what is
And it is precisely at this financial crisis in this world-war that
the gamblers on the New York Stock exchange toy with the hon
or, the security, the wen-being of their country. For the past
10 days or more there has been in the exchange a Well-defned
and deliberate bear raid upon the better-known securities. These
gamblers, by forcing panic prices, daily inform the American peo-
Die that they have little faith in the various securities which are
traded on the exchange.
Public and corporate stocks and bonds are sent down with a
bang, and prospective buyers of Liberty Loan bonds are asked to
consider what bargains they can pick up in this present bear
market. These disloyaists depress the market when there is a
rumor of peace which comes floating, from Europe; And when
the false peace rumor is discredited, they depress the market on
the strength of war to a finish.
They know no loyalty to anything except their own selfish and
perhaps sinister designs. They are using their countrys crisis
as a means of filling their pockets. They are engendering a feel
ing of Unrest and of wonderment which is interfering with the
successful fotation of the Liberty Loan.
Our government is arresting soap-bOx orators who get up on
street corners and spout disloyalty. 1t is suppresslng newspapers
It is high time to pay some attention to the New York Stock
exchange and the disloyalists who are operating there. If the
present bear movement continues to interfere with the sale OF
the kaiser. there is just one thing to do and that is for the gov
ernrdent to close down the exchange and shut it up for the bal
ance of the war period. The plungers, the gamblers the wreck
ers Of values should not be above the law. They should not be
allowed to play their game with impunity.
The American people are in no mood to countenance the per

THE BOTTINEAU C0URANT, %B0TTINEAU, NORTH DAKOTA

In combating the Nonpartisan League, the gang politicians
of Minnesota show considerable crudity, as compared to the willy
members of the clan in North Dakota. Preventing the farmers
from holding public meetings, charging that such meeting incite
disloyalty to the government, is rather course-grained procedure
and cannot help but make militant Nonpartisans of those who
have a sense of fair play and justice. The enemies of the League
in Minnesota are aiding the Nonpartisan cause fully as much as
the friends of the organization. And, strangely enough, they
do not seem to realize it.

The first issue of the Rugby Farmers News came to our ex~
change table this week. The News is owned and controlled by
about two hundred farmers of Pierce county and will support the
Nonpartisan League program. If the first issue is any criterion
of what may be expected, the News is destined to become one of
the leading weekies of the state. Harry Benton, formerly of
Usage, Iowa, is the editor and business manager and the initial
issue indicates that he is a past master, both in the editorial and
mechanical apartments of newspaper making.

WHAT PRICES CAN BE FIXED.

There has been much discussion about what prices the Food
Administration can fix. Prices have been fixed on coal and Wheat
by authority conferred by the Food Control legislation. Prices
have also been fixed on iron and it's products but not under the
Food Control law. This was done by agreement with the iron2and
steel industries and is voluntary on their part.
The Food Control legislation confers power on the president to
fix prices on coal and if necessary to buy and sell it. It also con-
fers authority to buy and sell, and therefore to fix prices on wheat,
-four, meal, beans and potatoes: These are the only articles over
which the president is given the price fixing power.
The president is given power to license any business OF the
country where the business transacted annually exceeds S1OO,0OO.
The power under such license is conferred to regulate profits in
any line of business but not to fix prices. Authority is given ov-
er fertilizer and agricultural implements under the license pro-
vision but the power to fix the prices is not conferred-on1y the
power to regulate profits.
The question is often raised in regard to the price of live
stock, meats, corn, etc. The Food Administration acting for the
president con not under the present law fix prices on these things
because the authority to do that is not conferred. What the
next Congress might do in that line is not known, but until Con-
gress does act no one has the power to fix prices on any commod-
iy except as stated above.
The regulation of profits, which may be done now i'm any line
of business, is an entirely ditfelnt thing from the fixing OF pos
tive prices. 1t will eliminate speculation but 1t Will not prevent
high prices if they are due to causes other than speculation.
The Finley Beacon suggests that the idea of carrying. your
own packages home in order to keep down the high cost OF living
is no new idea. Before the advent of the bone dry law it was
quite a common occurrence to see the head OF the family vending
homeward with a package.

:Townley is no fool, whatever else may be said Of him" grudg-
ingly admits the Rugby Tribune. That is conceding a whole lot
for Bratton. Next he will be acknowledging that the world is
round.

The Rugby Tribune has a department entitled Lucid Inter-
walls of Judge Drivesome." No, it is not the editorial department.

"DEFINED."

Tuesdays Grand Forks Herald contains an editorial purport-
ing to define Capitalism, A casual perusal of the editorial in ques-
ton leads to the inevitable conclusion that the Herald editor has
gone into mental insolvency. The silly drival contained therein
might merit a niche in Mier's Joke Book, were it not for the
antiquity of some of the alleged arguments.
Briefly, the Herald sums up capitalism as meaning that there
should "be nc such thing as the accumulation of property in the
hands of the Individual"
"Capitaism, of course, is the system which permits individuals
to possess property beyond their immediate needs" states the
Herald with the JUNCTION of an authority.
Quite naturally, opposition to capitalism is designated as Soc
ialism. The black slaves of the south in a%nte-bellum days are
pointed to as living under a socialist SYSTEM. When they became
freedmen and the negro owned his own COW, and pigs and chick
ems he became a capitalist.
AND THE TAI WIZ BUYS A LIBERTY BOND BECOMES
A CAPITALIST, according to the Herald.
Arguments along the same line, and equally barren of sense,
are inflicted on the readers to some considerable length.
The Courant has no intention to take issue with the Herald
in the discussion of the question along such ridiculous lines. 1t
merely desires to point out some of the Herald's "logic" as an
indication of how widely that publication can miss the mark in
moulding public opinion"

No, gentle reader, it was not Townley that designated the war

Had it been, the Souris Messenger, the Rugby Tribune and a few
other newspapers of like tendencies would have had him court
martialed and possibly shot at sunrise for "hampering the admin
istration" and "lendng comfort to the enemy" No, this severe
indictment against the government for surely congress is part
of the government) is hurled at the administration by E. L. Gar
