POLICE FINALLY
FIND CAR OWNER
Ford Picked Up Here Be
longs to Larimore and
Not Oberon Party

After being parted from his MAJ
chine for three weeks, Albert Rosen-
berg, of Larimore, came to Fargo
Wednesday afternoon and that eve
ming drove his Ford home.
The machine was stolen from the
State fair grounds at Grand Forks
during State fair week and was aban-
doned in Fargo. Chief of Police Dahl
gren took the fiivver to the city's gar
age, where 1t remained reclaimed.
The number of the machine was
communicated to Sec. of State Thomas
Hall in an effort to learn its owner.
The number, which must have been
misinterpreted over the telephone,
was said to have correspondent with
the license issued to w. c. Schaffner,
Of Oberon, N. d.
A letter was written to Mr.. Schaff-
ner at Oberon, but no word was re-
ceived from him. During the recent
visit of the chief of police of Grand
Forks to Fargo, Chief Dahlgren told
him of getting car cheap, with the
result that the Grand Forks offfcer
took the matter up with his-off1ce and
it was learned late Wednesday after
noon that the machine was not owned
by Mr.. Schaffner as supposed, but by
the Larimore man.
Two raincoats, two lap robes and
some inner tubes were found In the
car, all of, which belonged to the
owner. '-t

afternoon.
Il cannot say just what street we
will decide to make passable," said
Mr.. Strate. at noon, but / anticipate
that we are going to have consider
able trouble in arranging matters SO
that everybody will be satisfied.
There is the Marshall Oil Co, the
Manchester Biscuit Co. and the Mill
waukee. all widely separated, each
asking an outlet"
Just what steps would be taken
after the street to be opened had
been decided upon, Mr.. Strate said
would depend upon the condition OF
the thoroughfare.
Laying OF sewer and water and
gas mains on streets in this district
have been completed No grading
for the paving has been done, how
ever, and the streets are badly torn
up, and in most instances closed.
Kennedy Not Responsible.
James Kennedy, president of the
Kennedy Construction Co., which
mas the contract for sewers on the
south side, including Fifth avenue
south, and the paving contract on
Fourth street north, appeared before
the city commission Wednesday to
assure the commission that he was
not responsible for the DELAY on con-
tracts held by the firm.
Mr.. Kennedy said that he had
plenty Of men and equipment to do
his work, but had been held I'D be-
cause of inability to get material
All the work, he said, was being
pushed at the present time.

HAD TO HAVE THEIR TALK.

Nearly everybody knew that Con-
gress would ultimately pass the
food bill.
The senate knew it; the house
knew it; the President knew it; the
press knew it.
But for three months they have de-
bated and amended, while the crops
ripened and the country waited, and
the food spectators continued their
activities.
Finally, yesterday, the conferees
agreed upon draft of the bill, which
strikes out all the senate amendments
objected to by the President, and this
version Of the bill will doubtless be
approved. The same action could and
should have been taken three months
ago.
But the tax on the energies and pa
thence of the President and those who
have been fighting for the bill, has
been as great as it was needless.

NEED TEN CONVERTS.

The senate yesterday voted to sub
NIT a prohibition amendment to the
constitution to the states. The house
will probably take similar action, and
the states will be called upon to pass
upon it within the next six years.
The approval of the legislatures of
three-fourth Of the states is necessary
before prohibition becomes part Of the
constitution. That would mean an
affirmative vote in thirty-six states.
There are now twenty-six states in
the dry or going-dry list. Ten more
viii therefore have to be won over
within the next six years. Whether
or not that can be accomplished, no
man can foretell. If sentiment against
John Barieycorn grows as rapidly in
the next six years as it has in the
last six. there viii be no question as
10 the success Of the constitutional
amendment.
We are not particular about how
John Bafleycorn is killed. just as long
as-ths Job is a permanent one.

TRANSLATE THE GERMAN.

The service which The Cincinnati
Times Star has done to- the people
of Cincinnati and Of the nation.
should not be overlooked and might
be repeated by other publications.
Cincinnati has two German daily
newspapers. catering to the immense
German American population Of that
city and the surrounding territory.
Their editorial utterances were such
as to arouse the anger of the patri-
otto citizens of Cincinnati The
Times-Star in a campaign to ex-
pose their attitude. instituted as a
daily feature, a column which II
headed Our Patriotic Column" and
in which it reprinted the unpatriotic
news and editorial matter from the
two German dailies.
1t was not many weeks before the
column had to be discontinued for
lack of material.
Cincinnati Is not the only city
with German newspapers and peri
odicaIs. Ire best way to render them
harmless would be a law compelling
them to print a literal translation of
all articles published in German.

BIsBEE, BUTTE AND FARGO.

Even the argument that it Is just
that men who invoke Iawlessness
should perish by lawlessness, does
not justify nor even palliate, the
hanging of Frank Little. member of
the executive board of the I. w. w,
at Butte yesterday. 1t was murder
inexcusable murder.
Two weeks ago Little telegraphed to
Governor Campbell Of Arizona, that
they would take the law into their
own hands" II he didn't suppress the
lawlessness of those who were fight
ing the l. w. w.
Today he Is dead as the result of
the act Of those who took the law
into their own hands"
Mob rule is spreading in America.
It seems almost like retribution that
the agitator who preached class
hatred and mob violence should be
the first victim of such mob viol-
ence, but murder can never be con-
doned. If Frank Little had com
mitted no offense against the laws Of
Montana or Of the United States, or
the ordinances Of the city CT Butte,
he had every right to remain in
safety in Butte and continue his
activities there. 1t was the fault OF
the law, that 1t did not reach or
ganizers Of society that breaches
sabotage as one Of it's principle
doctrines. But the mob that killed
Little simply added strength to his
cause. Persecution makes martyrs
of I. w. w.
North Dakota may have the prob
lem to face within a very few days.
Fargo Is now sheltering from 500 to
800 I. W.'W. They have a right to
be here as long as they do not in
terfere with the peace of the COM
munity. But they have no right TO
intimidate men who want to work:
they have no right to trespass on
private property; they have no right
to seize railroad trains or terrorize
communities: they have no right to
make seditious remarks. The his
tory of the organization is such as
to make communities expect such of
lenses and worse fEOm it's members
and they should be punished with
the utmost severity. But Fargo can
not afford to adopt either the Bisbee
or the Butte method of dealing with
the l. w. w. Let's try to find a Far
60 method that Is within the law.
that is based on the principles Of
fairness and justice and yet is eff
f1cient

Germany has two souls. One Is
the one with which they meet their
friends; with which they live. The
other is the one that they devote to
their nation"

presses it.

ICONS Of the war have become the
greatest indictments the German
government has had to face.
Raemaekers is said to be more
feared and hated by the German
tunkers than any other writer or
artist in the world. Raemaekers has
laid bare the latter soul of Germany
the soul that they give to their
nation: the soul that shrinks from
no horror or no outrage, when the
nation demands 1t.
Raemaekers is now in America,
He landed in New York the other
day ito be at the center of things"
as he expressed it.
He puts into words an idea that
most Americans have held of Ger
mans. The quiet, placid, good nat
ured, music loving. thrifty German
neighbor, is the German Of the first
soul. The German who invaded Bel
GUM, and has Mortified the world
with atrocity after atrocity is the
German of the second soul.
