MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1918.
SHIP THE SLACKERS BACK

There are some men of military age in this country,
citizens of neutral countries, who have declared their
intention to become American citizens, who now claim
exemption on the ground Of their alien citizenship, These
men will have their declarations Cancelled and their
former political status fully restored. They will not
be subject to the draft. Neither will they be permitted
at any later time to become American citizens. That
is we'll enough, as far as it goes. But the procedure
should go further. Men who have followed this course
should be deported at the very first opportunity as un-
desirable residents here.
The status of the man who has taken this course
is entirely different from that Of the alien who. for bus
mess or other reasons, takes up his residence here and
retains, and intends permanently to retain his citizen
ship in the country of his birth. There are many very
worthy men in the latter class. But the former indi-
vidual is Of a different breed. He has actually intended
to sever his connection with his former country and to
become a citizen of this. He has so declared. He has
intended to enjoy all the privileges Of American citizen
ship. But when there arises the need for his services
in defending the country Of his adoption, he backs out.
The backing process should be made complete. and
should be required to carry him across the seas to what
from entering American territory.

THE CLEANERS

If Milet were here to paint a new picture Of 1.-THE
he might change the detail considerably
without violating the facts The setting might be SIM
liar in some respects. The wide expanse of level field
and the golden stubble would still be there. hut IN.
to their task, the painter would find the work being
done by means Of a horserake with an active quadruped
as the motive power. and a very likely boy or girl in
charge; for this is the way that our North Dakota
cleaning has been done. And this year a good many
bushels of grain have beeO saved by raking the fields
after the shocks have been cleared away.
Under the patriarchal system Of ancient Palestine
cleaners followed the reapers and gathered for their
own use what the reapers had scattered. Boaz, man
of substance that he was, partly because of a generous
impulse, and largely because beautiful Ruth had
found favor in his sight, ordered his reapers to scat.
ter grain freely in order that Ruth and, her mother-in.
law might be the better rewarded for their cleaning in
his fields. In all of the older countries it has been quite
customary to>permit the poor of the neiehborhood to
follow the reapers and father for themselves such scat
tered grain as they could find. On this side of the
ocean that practice has seldom been followed. as there
were few who were in need, and in many cases the la.
Dor of gathering the scattered grain would be too great
to warrant it's expenditure in that manner. Yet CLEAN
ing has been carried on. usually as a part Of the regu-
lar harvesting operations. "a.
There arises the picture of the harvest field with
the Graders swinging through it in majestic procession
each keeping step to the swing Of his cradle, as the i'm.
plement swept its way through the grain, to lay il
in precise windrows at the left. 1t was a,man's size
job, that of swinging a cradle, and only a little less

followed, gathering with his rake the freshly cut grain
dexterously making and tying his straw band, rakins
the scattered straw and passing on to the next sheaf
And them - nerhans With the hand raEo mr. porH -
with the fiat tumble rake drawn by a horse the stray
grain would be gathered up 50 that nothing might be
lost. *f~srf* " Il *
There has been a lot Of cleaning in the northwest
this year. The present price Of grain has warranted
the labor where it could be performed, as. in so
many cases, by the children Of the family. And 1T is
interesting to note that while there has not been a re-
turn to the exact forms which prevailed when the
cleaning was done regularly by the poor, very much
of the cleaning this year has been done for the pur-
pose of aiding in the work of the Red Cross, and
through work done in aid of that noble benefcence
much that would otherwise have been lost has been
saved.

LlGGETT SEES THE LIGHT

In a letter to the Sixth district draft board with
drawing his claim for exemption on the ground Of his
having a wife dependent on him, W. W. Liggett says
that "since reading President Wilson'S statement of the
war aims and only terms on which peace will be &C.
cepted / declare my entire and complete willingness to
serve my country in this world war"
YsLiggett greeted LaFollette's pacifist speech in St
Paul with vociferous applause. He has been a pro-
nounced pacifist, a Socialist, and publicity man for the
Nonpartisan League. The letter which he has written
Is assumed Ito have reference to the speech made by
the president at the opening Of the present Liberty Loan
campaign. 1t could not have reference to any earlier
address because there has been no other presidential ad-
dress Of the character suggested since Liggett's claim
for exemption was made. 1t appears, therefore, that
this man has gone through some eighteen months of
this war, with the United States an active participant
In it, and through nearly three years Of world war prior
to that time, without knowing that the cause in which
this nation is now engaged is a righteous cause. The
presidents impressive statement Of the causes which
impelled him to ask congress for a declaration of war
never faxed him. All that happened before that time
never touched him. All that has happened since left
him unmoved. Under the circumstances, how heartily
is Mr.. Liggett in favor of the war now?

by Germany. on the west or elsewhere. on the other
hand. there will be annexations Of another sort: Alsace
and Lorraine will be re-annexeds to France. They will
not, as was suggested, in Berlin the other day, be
grouped with Luxembourg and constituted a buffer state
between France and Germany. Certain Polish provinces
will be removed from German control and attached to
the kingdom Of Poland. where they belong. There
will be something in the nature Of annexations farther
south. where AusIia. Germany's ally. will be required
to give up control Of Bohemia and adjacent Slavic ter
ritory in order that the czecho-slovaks may erect a
government, of their own.
Just what will be done with the former German
colonies remains to be determined, but that Germany
shall again be entrusted with control Of them is out
Of the question. Germany has shown herself utterly
untitled for colonial work, and the people in the dis
tricts adjoining the former German colonies are de-
>termined that they wial not again have Germany for a
%neighbor. On the whole, therefore. it seems that there
is likely to be some annexing done, in spots, and to-
gether with annexation will go indemnities Of con-
siderable size, Germany must be made to pay. "

THE CONSTITUTIONAL INITIATIVE

AS has been generally expected the supreme court
has ruled that the constitutional amendment providing
for the use of the initiative in making future amend
ments is self-executing, and that the proposed amend
ments for which petitions have been circulated may
lawfully be placed on the ballot and submitted to the
people at the approaching election for their approval
or rejection. The amendments, therefore, will now go
regularly before the people.
The status of the constitutional initiative was
brought in question two years ago in connection with
the effort of certain petitioners to have placed on .oe
election ballot a proposed constitutional amendment
providing for the removal of the state capital from
Bismarck to New Rockford. Arguments having been
heard, the court, in a unanimous decision, held that the
1nlelatlVe Ia" which had been made a part Of the cons
jstitution was not self-executing, but merely conlerr3d
on the legislature authority to enact laws providing the
necessary machinery to carry it into effect. As the
legislature had not done this it was held that no action
could be taken under this provision of the constitution.
This year the machinery Of the Nonpartisan league
was used to circulate petitions for ten proposed consti-
tutional amendments, which amendments embodied, in
the main, the more important features OF the now ia
NOUS House Bill a. Application was made to the su-
preme court for. an order prohibiting the presentation
of these amendments to the people at this election on
the same grounds which were advanced in the New
Rockford case, that the, initiative law was not selfexe-
cutting, and that action to provide the necessary machin-
cry had not been taken by the legislature. Arguments
were again heard. and the decision Of the court has Just
been announced. The case is decided this time by a
majority Of one. The two Justices who participated in
the former decision adhere to their former opinion.
while the three elected two years ago take the opposite
ground. This decision established the initiative an its
present form as q part Of the state constitution In actual
working operation. ss @s :.
The decision just rendered naturally does not In

WAR DELAYS UNION

In connection with the quadrennial session of the
Methodist General conference Of the dominion of Can
ada, which convened at Hamilton, Ont, last week, it
is announced serni-offcially that no steps will be taken
at this time toward the proposed union of the Metho-
dist, Presbyterian and Congregational churches in Can
cooperation. 1t is understood that the bringing about
OF the complete union of these great bodies has been
dropped for the time being because war work absorbs
the attention of those who would otherwise be at work
on plans for church union.
1t is easy to understand how this should be so. Some
Of the strongest men in all the churches have gone into
war work, and organization plans must wait. From
another standpoint, however, it seems that the decision
to wait does not quite harmonic with developments in
other fields of activity.
In agriculture, in the mechanic arts, in transporta-
ton. in finance. in almost everything, the decision has
been reached that the emergency in which the world
finds itself calls for union, for the closest kind of or
ganic cooperation. In this country we have merged
alltlthe railroads under a single control. Canada has
done likewise. Central organizations have been created
TO control all sorts of work. Separate managementa
have. for the time being, gone by the board. And
II seems rather strange that in the church, which exists
for tire service Of. humanity, the pressure of the worlds
great need should operate to postpone rather than to
hasten the unity Of direction which has been considered
essential in almost every other line OF human effort,
