Gambling With Death
What Constitutes Treason. Discussed
In Detail By New York Editor.


After a lengthy discussion Of what
constitutes treason, The New York
Tribune sums up the situation as fol-
lows:
ut behooves, therefore, that it be
remembered by any one who may
desire to play dice with death-to
shave the confines of eternity with
out cutting his own throat through
the blade of his wit slipping an inch
too far-to injure this country yet
not pay the penalty; to evade and
avoid by subterfuge and pretence-
ii behooves that he remember:
"First-That intent may be deduced
from course of conduct and that one
is presumed in law to intend the ma
tural consequences of his acts.
"Second-That adherence 20 the
enemy is a phrase to denote a men
tai attitude on the part of the ac-
cused, and the jury may deduce Its
existence from g. persons course OF
conduct and the jury's deduction will
stand.
"Third-That the utterance Of
either written or spoken words is as
much an overt act as is a deed.

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted to the Task OF
Keeping UP With North Da- =
kota Editors.

Fargo has had more bouquets
handed to her by the editors of the
state in the last two weeks than have
fallen to her lot in the preceding two
years. 1t will keep the citizens
hustling to live up to all the nice
things that are being said about them
through the state.
Under the heading Bully For
Fargo, The Tower City Topics says;
Max Eastman, a Socialist. en-
deavored to talk on his peace at
any price idea in Fargo Tuesday
night but Fargoans refused to
listen to his near traitorous rant
fngs and he was compelled to
beat a retreat for Minnesota.
The loyal citizens OF North Da-
kota endorse Fargo's action and
feather and tar coats should be
applied.
The Mandan Pioneer, under the
heading of Hats off to the people OF
Fargo" devotes its principal editorial
to the now famous incident, as fol-
lows:
The people Of the state of
North Dakota are glad that the
people OF the city of Fargo have
said to the world that no meet
ings that aid the enemy can be
held there.
The people of North Dakota
cannot but applaud the action Of
citizens OF that city, who in a
decent and lawabiding way pre-
vented Max Eastman, editor Of
The Masses, a paper that has
been barred from the United
States mail, from carrying on a
meeting on the streets of that
city.
Hats off to the people OF Fargo
No disloyalist should in the flu
ture make the mistake of believ-
ing that citizens of North Dakota
will listen to the inane frothjngs
from the mouths Of the unpatrio-
tic and un-American.
Fargo has had the distinction
of being the city that has had the
chance Of serving notice that the
people of the state are in no
mood to house those itinerants
who would thwart the govern
ment's war plans.
Today we have reason to be
proud of the sterling patriotism
displayed by the Gate City but
standing at the back of the city ?.
Of Fargo-out on the broad
prairies of a great commonwealth
are many other cities that, IL
like occasion demands, will take
like action and follow the lead Of
the states metropolis.
Here we have these three, Gronnai
Baer and Governor Frazier" says The
Pembina Pioneer, ''and the greatest
of these is Mr.. Townley'' II pro-
ceeds to treat the situation as fol-
lows:
Governor Burnquist Of Mime
sofa has forbidden a meeting of
the World Peace Council, on
the ground that such a meeting
win interfere with the plans Of
the u. 8. government in carry
ing out the war with Germany.
He also forbids such meeting on
the ground that il would tend to :"
incite riot and possibly cause the
loss Of life.
Governor Frazier Of North Da-
kota says If these peace people
will change their meeting place
to Fargo that he viii make them
welcome as governor Of this
state and will call out the state
militia il necessary to protect
them.

Dakota in September!

Dakota in September!
The state needs a James Whit
comb Riley to describe it.
Indiana with the frost on the
pumpkin couldn't have been any
greater inspiration.
Oldtime Dakotans who love their
state, tell off grudgingly each one Of
these crisp autumn days of "mists
and mellow fruitfulness."
California capitalized her climate
and reaps an annual interest charge
of millions from it. Florida capital
lied her warmth and sunshine, and
draws down her yearly dividends.
But neither California nor Florida
has anything to offer that equals
autumn in Dakota. What Dakota
needs is publicity-of a different
kind than she has been getting.

Those pearls of enlightened wisdom
fell from the lips of Governor James
z. Ferguson of Texas, who is now
before the senate for impeachment.
OF course they didn't impeach him
for that. Demagoguery and asinin-
ity are no crimes even in a governor,
and the fact that he referred to the
university as an ''unholy spree Of es-
tablishing an educational hierarchy
didn't disqualify him as dictator of
the university's welfare or head of
the state.
But why despair? The same democ-
racy that produces Fergusons, pro-
duces Woodrow Wilson's, and Thomas
Edisons, and Luther Burbanks.

IN FEAR OF
SHORTAGE OF LABOR
Commissioner McCaffree Warns
Farmers-Suggests Using
Troops For Harvest.

Pierre. S. D., April 16.-The immigra-
ton commissioner realizes, a 81 does
everyone, that this year with the great
need of big crops in the United States,
and with war taking away a great many
of the workers, that the labor situation
for crops Will be acute unless some ac-
tive steps are taken all through h sea-

sequently he has issued the following
statement:
From every side the farmer is get
ting advice to bring his production up
to the meximum. The need is impera-
tive and the financial reward seems
sure. Large production will help the
er. The farmers know this, I suspect, as
we'll as anyone, for South Dakota farm
erS are alive and down-Io-date.
But | would like to call attention to
one difficultN-the lack of labor. Every
community is short now If 1000, 900 are
transferred from production to con-
sumption and manufacturing is stimuli
ated further, the situation will be ser
1t seems more important than for
20 Years that our farmers plan their
work to be independent of outside n
seasonal labor
1T is proposed that the government
guarantee minimum wages and with it
also a guarantee of minimum price for
grains. Detailing enlisted soldiers for
work is possible. The plans are
not Yet formed. But we know the de-
partnent has not been able to secure
the men needed now for farm work.
South Dakota viii be very important
to the nation with our meats and corn
and wheat beyond home needs and we
can take a splendid part now by united
effort. | believe our state can produce

as some effort, but possibly will be
