WITH THE EDITORS.
THIRTY-FOUR YEARS YOUNG

The Republican has passed another milestone
in it's career and with this issue we start out with
No. Of Volume 81, which means that the sheet
has weathered 80 years of the ups and downs OF
the development of this great state OF North
Dakota.
Under the present ownership, it has seen but
a few years, but as we take down the musty yellow
files from the shelf and look them over, one by
one, we see great changes, not only in the paper,
but in the development of the country. Taking
the files way back in 1886 we see that this is the
country of the pioneer. The rancher has free
range for stretch of miles and miles for his herds
to roam over and there is practically thought OF
farming in Emmons county. And as we go on
through the files we see the idea of agriculture
gradually creeping in, and somewhat to the disgust
of the cattle men. Looking over the present day
files, we would find that the old idea of cattle
raising exclusively has long since been discarded
and diversified farming has made this one of the
richest counties in this great agricultural state
Other developments, too are in keeping with the
agricultural industry, making our country pros
porous one for businessman and farmer alike
In the early days this paper was gotten before
the public by means of the old "army' press, a
few fonts of type and darned lot of hard work.
It's subscribers were few in number and the mat
ter of picking up news was one of great concern
to the publishers. Today the paper is issued from
one OF the most up-to-date offices of any country
newspapers in the state. The type is set on a
mOueTn linotype machine, ana Cne paper is run on
a large power press, the job printing department
is strictly up-to-date, and the whole plant is one
that town the size of Hazelton can we'll be proud
of-even if we do say it ourselves.
1t is our wish and desire that each succeeding
year will see the great changes for the better
development of the county, and we are going to do
our utmost to help it along Our policies will be
to keep the paper right up to the times, and with
the cooperation of the people of the community we
know we can do it-Emmons County Republican.

JAPAN'S UNEASINESS

Japan may yet do what the allies haven't
dared-support a strong anti-German, fighting
element in Russia and make it powerful enough to
bring order out Of chaos. The Cossack general,
Semenoff frankly appeals to Japan for aid, Japan
dubs his forces "the loyal Russians and gets very
busy about Siberia. Latest cabegrams from
Toxic state that the Japanese government is seri-
ously investigating the size and quality of Semen
offs forces. '..
It cannot be denied that there's some reason
for Japan's getting busy. In the Russo-Jap war,
the Trans-Siberian railway was single track. 1t
was only used in one direction. Russia rushed
enormous supplies and forces into the east and
then burnt the rolling stock of the railway. The
railway is now doube-tracked, and what Germany
could do with it is enough to arouse the Japs, and
some others. German Zeps and battle-planes are
already buzzing about Petrograd. To rush num-
bers of these and the parts of school of subma-
rines over the double-tracked Trans-Siberian to a
Pacific port would be mighty easy, and mighty
German. Incidentally, it would nightly increase
the interest of our brothers Of the Philippines
and our Pacific coast cities in this war.

Saturday Evening Post we'll says:
"The Red Cross can work in a way that would
be fairly impossible for a government. For exam
pie, every officer and agent of the French govern
ment will gladly assist the Red Cross to find and
help a mutiated French soldier or destitute
French family. The French government might
have some qualms about accepting charity from
the American government. No question OF ma
tiona pride or of politics comes up when the Red
Cross is concerned. Everywhere it is received
without reservation as friend. The American
public subscribed $100,000,000 to the Red Cross
last summer. Our government might easily have
appropriated that sum for the work. 1t would
have been lost in the mass Of war appropriations
and meant nothing in particular to anybody. 1t
would have been merely so much impersonal, cold
storage money. AS one-haf of one per cent OF the
governments total war appropriations it would
have looked meager and lifeless Freely subscribed
by the people the money is warm with human
sympathy. France, Italy, Poland see it not as
bookkeeping entry made by a machine called the
government Of the United States but as the gener-
osity of fellow creatures. 1t palpably means that
to use also. The Red Cross can Do it much better
than the government could"

A COMMUNICATION AND ANSWER

The following communication was received by
the editor and we publish it as we'll as our answer
| to same
''Why should the editor of this publica-
ton be after the Nonpartisan league goat
Like most reforms of real merit it was
born OF necessity, and it is an answer to the
member of the legislature who told the
farmers delegates, when they made an
appeal to have much needed measure put
through, to go home and slop the pigs"
we need the warnings and advices all right
IN many things but it sets US right mme-
dlately on this issue by just seeing who is
fighting the league.-A."
In answer to the above communication the ed-
tor takes the liberty of reminding the writer that
ne was the first and only newspaperman of Walsh
county who took the part Of the farmers organi-
cation two years ago when they were attacked
by certain other newspapers. We did not then,
more than now, defend the CRATER but we stood
up tor the farmer and for his right to organize
The editor was raised on farm, is at present
farmer, and realizes the necessities of good
farmers organization. What we are opposed to is
to have such organization run by CRATER who
uses it's political power as we'll as it's industrial
organization to further his own mercenary
schemes Also when local subsidiary organiza-
ton, even if most of it's members are farmers
use such farmers organization as club to further
their own pecuniary gain, such methods are
merely prostituting the farmers organization, is
not fair business methods and certainly is not adj
vancing the general sociological or industrial well
fare OF the farmer. But just because there are
few farmers who are grafters and who have taken
advantage Of local organization to further their
own personal profit the editor does not intimate
that all farmers are grafters. Neither can Mr.
"A" claim that the statement published by him as
coming from one of the members of the legisla-
ture of 1915 represented the sentiment of all men,
bers Of the same legislature. That legislature had
more farmers in it than any other class. But only

class of Americans If they allow such

is direct slap at our government. At

cause they could not read the ques.
tionnaires. Why, then, don't they
learn our language? The German peo-
pie are the only class of foreigners in
this country who do not become Amer
itanized and is because that they do
not care to learn the good old Eng
lish language. ..sH ~, 49,.
Our government should stop the
teaching of German and also stop the
publication Of every German paper in
this country. If 1t does not, the, Amer.
lean people will rise up and destroy
every such plant in the country. and
il would be the ambition of the writ
er's life to help destroy such plants.
to the end that every vestige OF Ger
lnanism be wiped out in our beloved
country. -
