the ~" or the K. of C. building in his
home town without a Tightening of his
heartstrings, and I like to think that
similar feeling will persist in the
breast of Protestant or Catholic boys
who have been welcomed at the hos
tells of the Jewish Welfare Board in
our environments or over there. We
shall not be poorer Protestants, Cath
olics or Jews for this sense of common
respect and fellowship. Certainly our
humanity will be greatly enriched
thereby and we shall be better demo-
Gratis, Worthier Americans.
l am confident that these Welfare
organizations that have been doing
such wonderful work will never be-
come strangers again. When the war
is won we shall continue to cooperate
through the long, tedious months pre-
ceding complete rehabilitation, when
the ships available to ferry our bows
home will seem all too few and all too
slow. That will be long period, for
three million and more men cannot
be transported across the Atlantic in
one month orthree, and everyone will
be impatient and perhaps bit reck-
less and irritable, so that our war
workers will have their work cut out
for them.
Then, after our national life settles
back in the normal groove of peace,
will come the real test of our several
sectarian organizations that have
worked together so amiably. Shall
we go our several ways again, or shall
we still stand shoulder to shoulder, to
aid one another in building up better
American manhood and womanhood in
peace as we'll as in war? This is a
problem that must be faced courage
ously land under wise leadership I am
confident it will be decided in the best
interests of our common humanity. I
am confident that we shall stick to-

counsel.
The success Of the United War
Work Campaign will give a great i'm
petus to this future fellowship, be-
sides assuring home comforts for our
young men in every branch of the SER
vice during the coming year. The sum
of $3.50 will cover the expense of
keeping up the spirits Of one soldier
for whole year, inspiring him with
the fine morale that Napoleon called
three-fourth of the battle. To give
for as many boys as possible is high
privilege. To every stay-at-home it
ought to be worth the utmost in self
denial to give for those who have de-
MED themselves everything to serve
our common country.

THE SERVlCEFLAC

In recent edition of the Minneapo-
lis Tribune saw a picture of Ser
vice Flag containing three stars. 1t
was hanging on a branch over the
"Old Swimmin' Hole" made famous
by Twain and Riley.
It made me write this, perhaps the
readers of the Times-Record might
care to read it:
There hangs a Service Flag
From yonder messy bank,
Guarding the old rendezvous
Of Jimmy, Bill and Hank.
On the other side of the ocean
Over there in sunny France,
The boys of the "Old Swimmin' Hole
Are leading the Fritz's merry
dance.
Three stars in row, all blue
The future may turn them to gold.
But to the land of their fathers the
Home of the Free,
The boys will always be true.
For no doubt when the war is over
Where the Service Flag hung from
the bank,
You will see in the days of the fu-
ture, what?
Why, the shirts of Jim, Bill and
Hank.

OPPOSE A SO.
ClALISTlC STATE

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 21.-The
Grand Forks county republicans and
democrats are opposed to making
North Dakota socialist state by con-
tinuing the present state administra.
ton in office and adopting the group
of proposed socialist amendments to
the constitution, have issued a state
ment to the voters setting forth their
position.
P O. Thorson, chairman of the joint
committee of republicans and demo-
Gratis, signs the statement that has
been issued, and which follows:
"The object of the organization is
to carry on an aggressive campaign
Of education for the purpose of show
ing the voters the real meaning of the
program which Townley, Lemke, Le-
Seuer and other self-appointed leaders
the Nonpartisan league are attempt
ing to foist upon it's membership and
the state as whole,
"An examination of the program of
these leaders, as set out in H. B. "A
and many of the proposed amend
ments to the constitution, plainly re-
veal their hidden notices.
Significant Silence
''They are not the same as the or
ganizers told the farmers when Sc
curing their membership. Nothing
was said to them at that time of re-
vising the constitution to such an ex-
tent that every township, school dis
trict, or county could enter into any
business whatsoever and bond itself
without limit.
Nothing was said about adopting
the single tax theory so that the own
ers of real estate would pay a tax
amounting to confscation. Nothing
was said about taking away all safe
guards for the school fund of the state
amounting to as least $1,000, 900; nor
of many other dangers adroitly hid
den in their program.
Won't Like Credit Measures
"We don't believe that the farmers.
nor anyone else, upon reflection. will
vote for men or measures that will de-
stroy the credit Of the state, the credit
of the Individual property owners
therein, and burden the state with a
debt that the present generation will
be unable to pay.
"The sole purpose of the campaign
is to fairly present these issues"

Griggs counties. The companies sup
plying these culverts have been order

Judge C. A. Fisk was recognized as
one of the ablest jurists that ever
graced our supreme bench and was
swept from his position by the wave
socialism that has gripped the state.
He is now a candidate for judge of the
supreme court of North Dakota and if
our people want their rights safe
guarded and their interests looked
after they should vote for C. A. Fisk
for supreme court Judge. Mr.. Fisk is
one of the most level headed men we
have in North Dakota, fair minded
and square and also one of the best
attorneys in the state. What we want
at this time is brains instead of poll
tics on our supreme bench.

Monday morning the Fargo papers
(morning edition) said that the forest
fires were the result of the negligence
of ''big business" and it called aloud
to Heaven for the people Of Minnesota
to support the socialist ticket by way
of rebuke. The kilograms yesterday
afternoon said the fires were of an in
cendiary nature, 80 that the statement
of the soci9!ist morning daily do not
jibe with the other report. We expect
to see Gov. Burnquist accused of the
deed by this deciple of "the sky the
limit" before he gets through with it.
When we hear the boiler about big
business we smile at the thought Of
those millions of dollars extracted
from the farmers of North Dakota
and other states which is furnishing
the payroll of the "kept socialist
press" ...

President Wilson's reply to the lat
est peace offer of the central powers
is just what we would expect of him
a thoroughly American answer. The
president wants to see all the cards
on the table and to know that Ger
many and her allies really mean what
they say before he falls for any deals
with a string to it. Mr.. Wilson Will
leave the evacuation question with
the military authorities if it comes
down to a point where an armistice
will be declared, but at this time there
does not seem to be any prospect of
an armistice unless Germany comes
out fiat footed with an unconditional
surrender. The United States and her
allies have the enemy in full retreat
now and there is neither room or in
clination for pickering. The kaiser
must come to his knees and sue for
peace Internationally.

FRIENDS DON'T LIKE HIM

One Of the most striking features of
the late primary is the fact that every
town in which Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction N. C. Macdonald has
lived gave his opponent, Miss Nelson,
a majority. In Cavalier county where
he served one term as county superin-
tendent of schools, the people turned
him down cold. In addition to this it
is reported that only one county sup
erintendent out of the ffty-three in
the state is supporting him for re-
election. Will some of the supporters
of M. Macdonald explain why, if he
is such world-beater as an educator
and so efficient as a state superinten-
dent, those who know him intimately,
and therefore best, are so uniformly
against his reelection Page Rec
ord.

In view of the fact that North Da-
kota is threatened with a socialist
constitution and that the question of a
socialist administration is confronting
the voters, the statement by Bishop
Quayle, of the Methodist church, Of
what socialism means, is significant
Socialism willed Russia. Socialism
as represented by the I. w. w., will
kill the United States if it gets a
chance. Socialism went back on Eng
land, France and Italy. The only place
where socialism has stood pat is Ger
many. Socialism is pro-German and
pro-beer," said Bishop Quayle at the
Illinois, conference in Chicago. The
close connection with the socialist
leaders of the nonpartisan league and
the l. w. w. of the William Haywood
type, as attested to by letters that
have passed between Secretary Arthur
LeSueur of the nonpartisan league
and William Haywood, indicate the
application Of Bishop Quayle's opin-
ion to North Dakota.

We saw statement in the Fargo
Forum the other night where Mr..
Townley did not pay cent of taxes
in Cass county. In the light of events
and the immense amount of money he
has collected from the farmers to
build up a great big socialist machine,
we wonder how much income tax the
gentleman pays.

but it was only short time

editorial criticising the Park Commits
sion for not making repairs on the
roadway surrounding the park and re-
ferred to it as being so rough that one
might contract appendicitis or some
thing of that nature by driving around
this road. It may be that the Park
Commission, thinking that he meant

the roadway around the park did need
repairing and that instead of spend

a little more to it and make it per-

boys who have died in camp from dis
ease is held in this city that the bus
mess men can show some appreciation
of the great sacrifice these boys have
made by closing the business houses
for at least an hour on the day of the
funeral. These boys have not been
to France-through no fault of their
but they have caught disease while
in the uniform and service Of the
country and have paid the supreme
sacrifice just as much as the boy who
is killed in France-they have given
their all, their life. The suggestion
of Friend Raney is one we feel sure
will meet with the approval of the
people Of this city and it only needs
the calling attention of the people to
this to get them to act. Let US show
our gratefulness in this way.

recently elected by the state board of
regents to the presidency Of the Nor
NAL school in this city, has, we under
stand, accepted the position and will
come to Valley City to take charge of
the institution as president the first of
November. We know nothing of the
new president of the Normal school
only that he is at present vice-presi-
dent of the Normal school at Carbon
dale, that he is said to be man high
ly educated, having several degrees,
and that he is also said to be gentle
man in every respect and one who will
make good in the position to which he
has been elected. Time will tell that
part of it. In the meantime let US all
forget that there has been any feeling
in the retirement of President McF ar
land and give the new president a
hearty and unanimous welcome. He
is in no way to blame for the change
of president in this institution and
has been offered this position by the
board of regents. It is a promotion
for him and he is to fill position
that has been most worthily and eff
GENTLY handled by the retiring presi-
dent all these years. In accepting tile
presidency of the Normal school DR..
Allen does so knowing that there has
been some feeling of course, but he is
coming here to do his best for this
institution and for the people of the
state whom he will serve, and the
Times-Record believes the people of
this city will give him cordial greet
ing and give him chance by his work
just what kind of a president he will
make. Politics and other things
should be dropped out of sight now.
The board has made the change and it
is up to the people to see that the new
president who has had no hand in this
change should be given the kind of
treatment that would be accorded to
any man placed in like position any,
where in the United States. Cooper
alton will be the best means of keep
ing this local institution where it
rightfully belongs - the head of all
like institutions in this section of the
