KENMARE CONTENDS
ENGLUND AND PAULS0N
FOR VOTE ON NO. "A
Thirty Citizens Sign Resolutions
Transmitted to Members Of
the Senate

Kenmare, apparently. is somewhat
divided over the merits of the late
house bill No A. In kenmare, 1t
will be remembered, originated reso-
lutions censuring Senator ]. A. Eng
lund and other members of the up
per house for the unkind thing they
did to No. A. From that same thriy-
ing little city this week came the fol-
lowing memorial:
I'VE, the undersigned subscribing
citizens of the city of kenmare, DO
hereby express to the % members OF
the state senate OF the fifteenth legis-
lative assembly who voted against
house bill A, our sincere apprecia-
ton of their ability to Withstand the
enormous pressure brought to bear
upon them by the leaders Of the Non
partisan League, and particularly the
Hon. John e. Paulson of HillsborO,
and the Hon. J. A. Englund Of Ken
mare, against whom the most vicious
attacks were made in futile effort
to force their support to this bill.
I'VE wish to congratulate these
members for their ability to see and
comprehend the wholly unwarranted
efforts of the leaders of the Nonparti-
san league to foster upon the state of
North Dakota constitution reeking
with socialism under the guise OF a
state-owned terminal elevator, -four
mill and packing plant"
The resolutions are signed by w. K.
Jones, E. F. Filiatreau, D. A. Enoch-
son and 81 others. -T'-
Englund Makes Statement y.
Senator Englund in a long statement
which he has sent home, says: 49,
II realize that owing to the fact
am the only representative of seven
from Ward county who opposed
house bill A, a good many farmers
will believe the Nonpartisan league
organizers when they tell them that
am opposed to the farmers inter-
ests; but am sure the time will come
when the farmers will realize that
they have been misled.
Those who advocate public utili-
ties back up their argument by the
fallacy that the North Dakota prison
twine plant is a success, but they
evade the true facts in the case. If
the North Dakota twine plant were
run by the state as an independent
hiring it's employees the
as private enterprise, what
guaranty have we that the state would
not have to pay an annual deficit OF
several thousand dollars"
The senator states that the prison
twine plant buys its labor for about
fifteen cents the day, and that this in
austry certainly cannot be held a cri-

PATHE PRESENTS KIPLING S
LIGHT THAT, FAILED"

To Pathe goes the honor of being
the first to release a motion picture
adapted from book by Rudyard Kip
ling. His immortal masterpiece, "The
Light That Failed has been, produc-
ed under the direction of Edward Jose
with Robert Edeson as the star. 1.-THE
Light That Failed" is as famous as it's
author. The Pathe company is justly
proud that Kipling gave it permission
to film is masterpiece. Not only did
he do that, but he actually wrote the
subtleties for the production. This
shows the interest he took in it and
is stamp of approval upon the photo
play. In the cast supporting Robert
Edeson, appear such we'll known play
ers as Claude FLEMING, Lillian Tucker
and Jose Collins. "The Light That
Failed" will be shown here tonight at
the Bismarck theatre.

Our governments declarations must
be made impressive by the unqdes-
toned allegiance OF every American,

Germany. and every other nation in
the world, must understand that the
voice Of Woodrow Wilson Is the voice
of the United States; and that the
whole one hundred million OF us stand

deeds. POI. ..y....a...
Europe is showing us what may hap.
pen II this nation does not stand unit
ed.
Germany is at this moment the most
powerful nation in the world, despite
her enemies greater numbers and su.
perior resources, solely because her
people went into the war united and
have been united ever since.
Great Britain and Russia have blum
dered through two years and a.half OF
war into a position where victory
hangs in the balance, because they
we're not united when the war started
and are only few degrees better of
now.
Only the knowledge that tho Ameri-
can people will back President Wilson
solidly In whatever he does will cause
European governments to heed Amer
ica's warnings and measure Americas
demands at their proper worth.
Divided. we cannot keep out Of war,
and divided, we might not survive a
war.
We must stand together, and we
must stand by the president.

THE AMERICAN IDEA..

sli Mandan, \. D., Feb. 5, 1917.
Editor Bismarck Tribune.
Dear Sir: A few years ago, during
a term Of court here, one of the jurors
arose in his seat and said:
Judge, this is Saturday but it is my
Sunday, and | don't like to work to.
day" ,.., ~
TO this Judge Winchester said:
"'You are excused until Monday
morning. in this country the admins,
tratione OF Justice does not presume to
tell any man what Sunday ne shall
keep as his, or how he shall worship
Cod"
Now let me ask what day Of the
week do those preachers propose turn
ing into an indigo Sunday? We have
thousands of good citizens in this
state who keep Saturday for Sunday,
and ii you tell those people that they
must keep our Sunday, won't the state
be interfering with the liberty of con-
science ?-something our government
will never stand for.
Are you going to the farmer to ar
rest him where he is sowing his field,
because he kept yesterday for Sunday ?
How narrow and foolish and how des-
titute of true religion?
II the state is going to compel peo-
pie to keep the Lords day, why not
be consistent and compel them to OBJ
serve the Lords supper, the Lords
baptism, and repeat the Lords prayer?
DO this and you have no separation Of
church and state. Then you are back
again among religious people who be.
headed each other to please God AL
mighty.
sincerely believe that our legisla-
ture will keep church and state separ-
ate and apart. The trouble is we
have too many preachers who are not
big enough to become broad gagged
citizens of a broad guaged country like
ours where the opinions of all are re.
spected.
We know how the church mot God)
and state when together, trampled up-
on every right-both human and di.
vine-in the darkness of the past, and
we know that one cannot make people
religious by force-nOt in the U. s. A.
God made us just as we are and He
wants us to be happy. He made us
human beings with hopes and with as
pirations for improved conditions for
enjoying life in this and the next
world. God is good, and He will never
punish any one for just being happy.
So let Sunday be day of happy en-
joyment, let the children play and
sing, let the boys swim and fish and
play ball and dance upon the green,
let old and young enjoy the day in
their own way. God is God Of love
and happiness, not Of cruelty and hate.
He knows people will differ and have
always differed, but this is no proof
that half the people are going to hell
Mr.. Blue Preacher:
Wouldn't it be lonely,
Tell me square and true,
II the world was only
Made for me and your
We can all differ and all be just at
the same time, IL we only take to our
hearts the American idea OF right and
wrong, and keep 1t there,
