THE NATIONS HEROES

Memorial day, with all it's hallowed
memories of great battles fought for
principle and right, and the sadness
attendant upon this day when we
bring back to mind that valiant army
that has almost passed away, the
Grand Army of the Republic, the de-
parted heroes of which body we hon
ored, has come and gone. The thin
ned out ranks of the old soldiers tell
only too plainly that the hand of time
is sweeping them away resistlessly
and surely and ere long that army of
gallant men will have passed to the
last bivouac from whence there is no
return. But with their passing they.
will leave behind glorious record
one that will ever live in the minds
of the generation here present and in
the minds of generations to come as
the latter are taught the deeds done
by these gallant patriots from the
pages of history, so shall these men,
cries be kept alive in the hearts and
minds of the American people. We
missed also the familiar and elastic
tread of our gallant Company G, who
in past years have formed the prin-
cipal part of our Memorial Day exer-
cises as escort for the old soldiers. We
miss them, yes, but we have not for
gotten them. Our minds wander back
across the seas and we seem to see
these same gallant lads, who have
given themselves to fight for the
democracy Of the world, assembling
on Memorial Day doing homage to
those of their fallen comrades who
have paid the supreme sacrifice.
There's is noble purpose, just as
noble as that of the men of 81, and
to them every citizen of Valley City,
yea, the whole nation collectively,
breathes prayer this beautiful Me-
mortal day for their safety and for a
great victory that will place across
the sky of all the nations of the earth
in living letters of fire the words
freedom, equality. justice and liberty.
We raise our hat in honor OF the little
band of faithful veterans who repre-
sent Americas great fight for union
and liberty and equality, and we raise
tagain to gallant Company G and all
the drafted boys that are represent
ing the nation in the greatest strug-
gle of all history. =
God save our noble men, 3D.
Send them safe home again,
God save our men.
To thee the praise belongs
For righting all our wrongs;
To thee we lift our song
God save our men. -

GOVERNOR FRAZIER

President Wilson has called upon all
true Americans, both native and for
eign-born, to unite in celebrating the
Fourth Of July this year as Liberty
Day, making it characteristic Of the
spirit Of true democracy. North ,Da-
kota stands in the front ranks in point
of service to the Federal government,
and will respond loyalty to this, re-
quest of our honored president.
This is no time for racial distinc-
tions. True loyalty is evidenced in
deeds which are the test of all who
love American ideals and principles.
He who would exalt himself because
of the accident of birth is manifesting
the same spirit of artistocracy we are
fighting to subdue in other lands.
Those who are Americans by choice
are carrying their just share of the
burden of the war, knowing from past
experiences and observation the grave
issues involved in the present world
conflict. North Dakota's sons, regard
less of nationality, have gone forth
as one man to fight for a just cause.
No thought of race enters the minds
of these brave soldiers as they stand

rolled. This organization is live one

It is a sort of protective association

the means of collecting bad debts for

The idea is mighty good one. The

into store and asks for credit right
off the reel and it is up to the mer-

Reports from all over the second
district indicate that Congressman
George M. Young will have very
large majority at the primaries on
June 26. The people of the district
feel that Mr.. Young has given them
good service and that it is far better
to trust the business in his hands at
this time than to make a change.
There is no valid reason advanced up
to this time why Mr.. Young should
not be reelected and until there is
something of that sort shown up the
voters Of the district will support him
at the polls. Mr.. Young is not leaving
his post at this important period Of
legislation to come home and talk pol
tiles. but he is attending strictly to
his duties and leaving it to the good
judgment of the people to do the rest
and they will do it for George NJ.

Just as we were beginning to have
q fever to wake up on this legislative
fight we find that Howard Wilson, the
non-partisan nominee has filed as q
democrat. That's just like Howard.
He does not believe in any kind of
camouflage and is one of the finest
men we know-he has always been a
democrat and he wants to sail under
his rightful colors. Under these cir
cumstances Hon. Burl Carr will have
no opposition for the republican NOM

AVIATION AFTER THE WAR.

An application by the Aerial League of
America for certificate of incorporation
has just been approved, the object OF the
organization being to teach the Importance
of aeronaut1cs, both in military sense and
for commercial purposes after the war.
The league has been formed by well-known
aerial scientists of the country, and IN the
petition TO the court the directors declare
that the league shall be a national organi-
cation through which patriotic men,
women, boys and girls can assist in the
work of securing the aerial supremacy
which is necessary for the maintenance of
our national institutions by assisting and
educating the nation to its aeronautic
task, and in"the words of President Wilson,
stimulating and recruiting patriotic in
terest in the war, to the end that the utmost
cooperation of all citizens in the successful
prosecution of the war be secured.
"To make known generally that the war
is to be decided in the air. and that after
the war aerial transportation, through
eliminating frontiers and bringing people
of different nations into closer contact-as
fast transportation always has done
promises to become the most important
factor in the reconstruction that will fol-
low the war.
Another clause of the application says
that a purpose of the organization is to
evolve plans for the employment of air
craft for civil and commercial purposes SO
that our aviators may have employment
after the war. Since the war aero-dynamics
has been developed to a remarkable state
of efficiency, and today flying is regarded
as a safe method of travel by directors of
the organization When hostilities are
ended and peace prevails, thousands of ex-
pert aviators will be released from military
service and return to their peace vocations
unless this contingency is provided for.
