SMITH MEETS LARaN
ON THE STORE ISSUE.

Plaza, N, D., Feb. 2S.-George
Plaza Smith, president Of the North
western Press association and pub
fisher Of The Plaza Pioneer and other
newspapers in this section, and Dave
Iarin, publisher Of The Parshall
Leader, engaged in two public de-
bates as to the merits OF the ToWnley
chain store scheme. Mr.. Larin taxi
ing the affirmative and Mr.. Smith
the negative.
There was very general attend
ance Of farmers at the debates, one
Of which was held at Parshall and
one at Plaza The debate was in
tensely interesting and decidedly
vitriolic. Following the clash, in
which Mr.. Smith seemed to have
much the better of the argument, he
invited Mr.. Larin to meet him in
every town between Sanish and Bis
marck to debate the chain store
proposition. Mr.. Larin has not ac-
cepted to date.
Mr.. Iarin is said to admit that
Townley is going to make pot Of
money out of this scheme, but he
contends IL is nobody's business but
the farmers If the latter wish to set
Townley up in business. il Larin
takes up Smiths proposition, some
very interesting meetings may be
expected. There is a chain store at
Garrison, and central North Dakota
generally is much interested in
Townley's latest cream separator"
project, as 1t is quite commonly
termed.

WHEN YOU GIVE BOOKS.

In selecting clothes for the
soldiers, nothing is too good.
In selecting food for the soldiers,
everyone comedies them the best.
But in selecting books for the
soldiers, it is considered legitimate
by some otherwise well meaning
persons, to collect such choice
morsels as padded covered volumes
of Lucille; old volumes Of state
papers: perhaps a collection Of the
messages Of the presidents; some
bound copies Of the Congressional
Record; government publications on
Congressional controversies Of a
quarter of a century ago; or THE
Letters of Lady Mary Wortlcy
Aiontagu" that Aunt Mary got for
prize when she went to school.
If you are going to give books
and the Fargo librarian is receiving
donations this week and next-be a
good sport about it and give from the
shelf that is most frequently visited.
Loosen up to the extent Of a treasured
copy OF Kipnng's "Barrack Room
Ballads, or Of Stevenson's Treasure
Island, or Of Conrad's Victory, or
something a regular man would en-
ioy reading.

WHY NOT TRY sNowsALLs7


Now that Trotzky and Lenine have
tried out their propa ganda offensive,
and found that it did not take" as
expected; now that the policy Of
abject pacifsm carried to its most
ridiculous extreme, was such a
prompt and disastrous fiasco: now
that the army has been demobiltzed,
and the stores Of ammunition and
weapons left to fall into German
hands the Bolshevikl might try
snowballs.
Russia has immense quantities Of
snow suitable for making snowballs.
Let Trotzky write notes to the Ger
man soldiers, enclose them in snow
balls, and lombard the advancing
Germans with these encrusted bill
lets-doux.
As long as the Bolshevik govern
mhut was holding out for a general
peace, sticking firmly to it's plat
form, and defying the German war
lords, it commanded a slight meas
IRE of sympathy, and at times, al
most respect. At least it seemed sin
fcere.
But when the leaders threw up
their hands and threw down their
arms, surrendered Internationally,
and abandoned their own entire pro-
gram, as we'll as deserving their al
lies, they aroused only contempt,
scarcely touched with pity. The pity
IS reserved for the poor deluded fol-
lowers, and the dazed and benumbed
citizens who see themselves helpless
in the face Of the complete break
down Of their government.

SOME GERMAN LOGIC.

German logic is a fearful and
wonderful thing.
Won Hertling's address to the
reichstag is an example of the Ger
man mind functioning at it's best, or
at its worst.
Take, for example, his gem about
Belgium. He says:
1T has been repeatedly said
that we do not contemplate re-
tanning Belgium, but that we
must be safeguarded from the
danger of a country with which
we desire to live in peace and
friendship, becoming the object
or the jumping-off ground
of enemy machinations".
OF course everyone recalls how the
Allies used Belgium to invade Ger
many, so to prevent them doing it
again, Belgium must be under some
sort OF German supervision.
And again:
in Courland and Lthuania,
our chief object is to create
organs of self determination.
Our military action, however,
has produced a success far ex-
ceeding the military aim.
In other words, the army Slipped"
and went too far in the advance.
That's just the trouble. The Ger
mans slipped" and fell into Belgium
and Northern France. They slip
ped" and fell into Serbia and
Rumania, and Italy. and Russia. And
before the army RECEIVERS and de-
cides to get out. when it has thus
advanced too far, there never seems
to be anything worth having that is
left behind.
What the Allies want is a peace
that will assure the rest of the world
that Germany's military undertake
ings in future will not exceed the
original aim, and they also want
some rather definite assurance about
the original aim.
Mr.. Won Hertling's speech and Mr..
Balfour's reply probably will close
the interchange OF views for the
present. Spring is approaching, and
the Allies win now address what re
marks they have to make to Mr.. Won
Hindenburg, some place between
Ypres and Verdun. The headquarters
for the peace negotiations" will be
transferred there from Brest-
and the only form Of
the Germans understand
will be employed.

LAWLESSNESS OF Sim
FEINERS CONTINUES

London, Feb. 2s.-The newspapers
continue to print reports of seizures
of land and other acts of lawlessness
by Sim F'einers in Ireland. The
police are said to be unable to pre-
vent these acts. Among the minor
incidents is a report that Sim Fem
ers seized American flags which two
boys were carrying in a street in
Galway and tore and burned them.
Henry Duke, secretary for Ireland,
has not registered and it is under
stood that he intends to stand by the
Irish convention until the end. He is
credited with the opinion that much
OF the present lawlessness is due to
an organized conspiracy against the
convention. 1t is reported that many
wealthy families residing in the west
Of Ireland have gone to Dublin to
escape the disorders.
