GETTING THEIR FILL OF TISSUES"

GETTING THEIR FILL OF "ISSUES''.
"Talk issues" has been the cry of the
Nonpartisan press in recent months.
They have complained that the opposi-
ton to the Nonpartisan league has refused
to discuss the league platform on it's merits.
Apparently Mr.. Doyle is giving them
rather more of the issues than thew
relish. In his campaign through the state,
he is sticking to issues" consistently and
is raising so many embarrassing ones that
something akin to alarm is stirring the
Great Headquarters at st. Paul. They are
no longer patronizing Joe" and calling
him good fellow and sympathizing
with him in a sneering way. They are be-
ginning to realize that joe is a very I'M
comfortable sort Of campaigner, and is get
ting some very unpleasant facts before
league members in a most uncomfortable
way. His meetings are steadily growing in
size and enthusiasm, and he is getting most
attentive and respectful audiences in the
very strongest league territory in he state.
The refusal of Governor Frazier to meet
him in joint debate is having widespread
effect. The Nonpartisan press has grown
SO accustomed to smothering embarrassing
questions with abuse of the questioner,
that it has come to believe this plan would
work indefinitely, But you cant fool all

kota front. North Dakota must be held

When the United States went to war against
Germany, General Barnett urged Congress - ex-

that the Marines could carry out their regular
duties and aleQ participate in the lighting over
seas.
This was done. Again, early this year the Ma

ly in view OF the splendid record made by the
members o9 their forces serving Ia France.

Queen S Pig Can
NOT Be Ratified

London, Sept so.-The pig which
Queen Mary presented to the Red
Cross and the thousands of pearls
given to this society for disposition
by rattle will have to be disposed of at
auction as the result of the rejection
by the house Of commons OF the lot
would have legalized lotteries and
raffles for charitable purposes.
Sir George Cave, at the second read
ing of the bill, said that between
have been realized on the pearls had
they been disposed of in the manner
proposed by the bill, whereas by sale
at auction they VIII only bring about
100000 pounds.

THE JOKER REVEALED.

The Senegambian in the woodpile has
been disclosed at last.
The little joker was most shrewdly hid
den in the constitutional amendments pro-
posed by the Nonpartisan league, but he
is out at last in plain view.
You Encyclopaedia you had studied
the amendments at all-that they set a
new limit on the bonded indebtedness of
the state, of $120O0,000, didn't you2
Well they don't.
The sky is the limit provided by "Fel-
low Worker" LIE Sueur in drawing the
new constitutional provisions.
In these days of billions, $12,00O,0OO
didn't seem so terrifying, even though it
is sixty times the present limit to the
state g Indebtedness. Think of it Sixty
times!
But the $12,000,00O was only a blind
Read section 1872 carefully:
noG no n sStS s a6 as r. Of
sY FIRST MoRTeAaEs IN AMOUNTS
NOT TO EXCEED oNE-HALF OF ITS
Get that provision fixed in your mind
and then read the remainder of the para
graph.
Here it is:
Or upon real or personal property Of state
owned utilities enterprises industries,
amount not exceeding its value and provided
further that the state shall not issue or
guarantee bonds upon property of state own
ed utilities, enterprises industries in ex-
cess Of ten million dollars.
Note that the only limit on bonds, is on
those issued for state owned utilities, and
that this limit is 100000 plus the other
$12,O00000 which calls for no security in
the form of mortgages.
Otherwise the limit is off and the roof
is the sky.
Fellow Worker" LIE Sueur may have
found it difficult, as he told Comrade Hey
wood, to do "any effective organization
work while this damned war is on, but
he didn't find the war any drawback when
it came to drafting legislation
Picture for a moment, gentle reader, Mr..
Townley and Mr.. LIE Sueur turned loose
with Nonpartisan legislature, and Non
partisan governor as amenable to their
wishes as is Governor Frazier and the
house Of representatives in the last Iegis-
lature was, and no limit to the bonded in
debtedness of the state of North Dakota
Consider it calmly, gentle reader, and
think whether you would prefer to have
their opportunity or that of the owner of
any gold mine in America
Think of the stores that might be sold
as "pubEc utilities'; and the run down,
bankrupt newspapers that could be I'M
loaded on the state; and the banks and
other enterprises that may be fathered by
the socialists. Think Of the chance of get
ting out from under and shifting the whole
burden to the state7 AS long as the print
ing presses held out, bonds could be print
ed and sold or given in exchange for
league enterprises It would be simpler
and quicker just to give the leagues inner
circle first mortgage on the whole state
for an unlimited amount at once, and save
the cost of printing the bonds.

Plan Under Consideration
Opposed by Jewish
Citizens.

Whether Washington school chill
dren will work as many days as
their daddies and big brothers each
week, letting. the Saturday holiday
become a pleasant memory. WIN be
decided at the meeting of the Board
of Education a week from today.
Ernest l.. Thurston. superintendent
of schools, will them present his re-
port on the proposition. 1t is pro-
posed to make Saturday a school
day to make up time lost during
the "huS epidemic.
Opposition to Saturday schooldays
is being presented to the Board of
Education by Jews of the city.
Rabbi Louis Stern, in a conference
with Superintendent Thurston, yes
terday pointed out that a Saturday
school day would deprive Jewish
children of the privilege OF attend
ing Sabbath services.
'Inasmuch as this nation grants
religious liberty to ALL" declared
Rabbi Stern, I'VE do not think that
a holiday. which was instituted par
TALLY to allow Jews to attend their
religious services, should be elimi-
mated from the school calendar"
superintendent Thurston refuses
to be quoted on the matter until he
makes the report to the Board Of
Education.
1t is understood in local educa-
tional circles that the dilemma oc-
casioned will lead to the appoint
ment of Jewish member of the
Board of Education at the next Sc
lection.
