regiments of our soldiers are to be
sent to France as soon as arrange
ments can be completed. What have
the gentlemen who claimed that our
troops would not be sent abroad in
case of war, to say concerning this?
The government is to sell seven
billion dollars worth of bonds to fin
ance the war with. And all this with
the entire approval Of "Kaiser" Bac-
on's Herald. Still the Herald fought
the plan Of the state selling bonds to
enable it to build elevators and flour
mills so that the farmer might fight
his enemy at home. The Herald is
awfully opposed to the autocratic
rule Of rulers in Europe but still per-
sists in fighting in favor Of the auto
cratic rule of the monied class in this
country.

The following is an excerpt from

war means destruction, misery and
poverty to the toiling millions of u
country for generations to come; but
if it shall come I will do my full du-
ty." What more could be asked for
in the line Of a patriotic speech? And
still the Grand Forks Herald has the
nerve to denounce this honorable gen.
tleman whose speeches concerning the
war plainly show that he is with and
for the people.

It was stated in an editorial in the
Souris Messenger last week that -~ a
Senator was expelled because of un-
patriotic utterances. It is true that a
senator was expelled by the rest OF
the members of that body of law
makers, but the ousted senator claim
ed that his original statements had
been twisted and wound up by chal-
longing any of the senators who had
ousted him to enlist with him as a pri-
vate to show their patriotism. His
challenge was not accepted. Now then,
who appears to be the patriot?
LYLE Miller, Lawton Bogstie and
Sid. Rodseth motored to Bottineau
Sunday on their motorcycles.
An appropriate and enterprising

Olson's motorcycle and we predict

swallow some dust it'll be because
the mounties get the motor.

to ensue following the adoption OF
these socialistic plans by the govern
