HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

In view of the fact that throughout
America war is the current topic of
interest it vas deemed appropriate
this year to present a patriotic play
as a part of the usual exercises of the
Senior Class. The historical drama
Nathan Hale" by Clyde Fitch will be
given. The play is based on the story
Of the capture and the hanging of the
spy Nathan Hale within the British
lines during the Revolutionary war.
The plot is interesting, the characters
very real and the whole production is
full of dramatic feeling. It was first
performed by Nat Goodwin and Max
inc Elliot, who starred in it for two
seasons and it has been a decided &c
cess wherever it has been presented.
The costumes will be very elabor-
ate, reproductions from historical
plates gathered by Nat Goodwin him
self and they will be true to history
in every detail. They are furnished
by the largest costuming company in
the northwest.
The people of Bottineau have al
ways taken great interest in home tai
ent productions and this should be no
exception. It will be an evening of
interest and enjoyment for everyone.
Don't forget the date, Friday, May
18th, $3.50 p. M.

COMMUNICATION.

Editor Courant:-
Will you kindly give space for the
following in your valuable paper?
If we are in this wal because we are
fighting for democracy why should
not the war be conducted in a demo-
cratic manner? Consumption is not
democracy, it is autocracy. Why are
not the people allowed to vote on this
question? To be. allowed to do SO
would be real democracy. The argu-
ment against this referendum is that
the present situation is too serious TO
delay raising an army long enough
to have q referendum. Still congress
has been discussing CONSUMPTION Tor
several days past and at this writing
has arrived at no definite conclusion.
Ninety-eight per cent Of the mel IN
the Union army in the civil war were
volunteers. England raised an army
of more than three million volunteers
and could have raised q million more.
Consumption was . political trick
not q military necessity. Canada has

for planting during the next week or
so. It is likely that there will be much
more Of this done in the next two or
three weeks. The full program for
the potato meeting was published in
the papers last week. It is hoped that
as large a number a possible will
come out for the meeting on Friday,
although seeding conditions may in
terfere with it.
The supreme court has decided in
favor Of the de facto Regents by a
vote of 3 to 2. This means that
Messrs. Crawford, White, Taylor,

question of whether or not Messrs.

pointed by the governor was not acted

A feature of the meeting of the

of the third article on "The Way of

also discussed in a very interesting
manner, and an article read by Mrs
C. H. Bjerkness on "Causes of War;

short business session which follow

repeatedly rejected CONSUMPTION, al
tho in the third year Of a Aus
tralia has rejected CONSUMPTION, the
Australian soldiers in the trenches
voting overwhelmingly against it.
Many thousands of people in the Unit
ed States were opposed to war. Why
should these people be compelled to
fight for a cause in which they do not
believe? Is it compatible with Amer
lean ideals of individual liberty of
conscience to make men violate their
firm convictions? A bill has been in
troduced in congress for the conscrip-
ton of incomes. If CONSUMPTION of
human beings is right is not also con-
scription Of wealth right? And is it
not democracy? If congress is work
ing towards democracy they will pass
this income CONSUMPTION bill. Also,
is it democracy when the young men
Of the country are required to 60 out
and defend their country for the mea-
gre sum of $500 a month while 9TH
ers stay at home and make millions
out of war?
News dispatches claim that certain
munition companies were willing to
manufacture munitions and sell them
to the government at "only a ten per
cent profit, whereas they have been
receiving a thirty per cent profit from
the allies" The writer fails to see
any patriotism in that. Patriotism of
that brand is of the same brand that
J. P. Morgan displayed during the
Civil war, (he was an able bodied
young man then) when he purchased
condemned rifles from the government
at $3.50 and $2.75 each, then sold
them back to the government at $3.50
each.
The press of the country is not so
energetic in the battle for democracy
at home, which would require the
printing Of the truth, as it is for a
democracy which will cost thousands
of lives and millions of dollars in ad-
ditional taxes. Why does not the

press Of the country tell us the truth
concerning the case Of Tom Mooney
of San Francisco, an innocent man
who has been sentenced to be hanged
in May? Testimony at MONEYS
trial proved conclusively that he was
absolutely innocent. Is it democracy
to allow an innocent man to be muir
dered? Hardly. Then, where is the
fight for democracy by the press? It
is quite conspicuous by it's absence in
this instance. Is it not true that the
papers that have been clamoring so
for wal have been fighting the N. p.
League, which program is the great
est move toward democracy that has
wei struck the northwest? How about.
the Grand Forks Herald, The Mime
apolis Journal and the Minneapolis
Tribune? All fighting a true move
toward democracy and at the same
time bowling for war for the sake
ESQ they say of democracy. The con-
sistency Of their argument is weak
kneed.
An army officer speaking in favor
of military training in the schools
recently said: "We want military
training so that alb oy will be taught
to look his superior in the face when
he is given orders and then go and
carry them out without questioning"

questioning. It is queer how circum-
stances alter cases.
At the beginning Of the European
conflict Americans loudly applauded
the few German martyrs who dared
to speak out against the wal and at
the same time our "patriotic press"
bewailed tearfully the breakdown of
the Socialist movement across the
water. Today those same Americans
hang in efigy anyone who utters a
protest against the war and brand all
Socialists as traitors (Falky, please

Certainly moderate praise, used with
opportunity and not vulgar, is that
which does good.
Some men, under the notion Of weed.

NOTICE.

On account of high prices of live
stock, and still going higher, we have
decided to put the meat markets OF
Bottineau on a cash basis and no de-
livery. Deliveries in a town of this
size are very expensive and instead of
raising prices of meat to meet these
extraordinary prices and unnecessary
expense, we will sell for cash and
cash only and no deliveries after May
18th.
