To the Editor of The Forum:
Yellow paint has proved very effective meth
cd Of punishment since entered the on
those who have disObeyed the requests of the
food and fuel administrations, pro- Germans, Lib
erty loan dodgers and other disloyal subjects.
While it is not the weapon of daily author
lied bodies of law and order still there is no de-
nying that justice administered in this manner
is we'll deserved in most cases. Anyone who is
not patriot in the fullest of the word, dur
ing these times, deserves the sort of punishment
that will iniure his business or his standing in
society. aaaz -.-a.-
In business, unfortunately, competition is not
always clean. This is true more in the smaller
retail lines, than in big business. Every and
then read Of damage suit arising from the
fact that an interruptions competitor has deco
rated the front of his more successful rivals
place of business with a coat Of yellow paint.
However, more times than not it is impossible to
furnish evidence of a Convctng nature, because
the cuIprt operates in the same manner and
during the same business hours, the porch
climber chicken thief and weasel. He takes
pains not to get caught in the act.
1t behooVes the public to be fair when they see
hear of somebody's place of business being
painted yellow If disloyalty has been the rea-
son for it's application give them their just de-
serts by not patrOnizing them. But when it is
clear that unclean competition is at the bottom Of
it, be American. The true American is always
ready and willing to stand by and assist the UNI
justly oppressed. Fargo Citizen.

HERE IS THE PROOF.

Beginning this evening, an amazing
series Of documents will be published in in
stallments on the editorial page of The
Forum.
These documents were procured, in some
unknown way, by the department Of pub
lie information, and they are published by
the authority Of the United States govern
ment.
The documents were released for publ
cation Sunday and Monday evening The
Forum carried a summary Of them in its
news columns, but they are of such vital
importance in gaining proper understand
ing of the Infamous Russian German situa-
ton, that The Forum has decided to run
them in full, publishing a short installment
each evening. In this way they should
gain a wider audience, for few readers
would care to wade through all Of them if
presented at once.
Read these documents They are the
most important revelation since the Prince
Iichnowsky memorandum, published by
The Forum on this same installment plan.
Remember they are official, and the gov
eminent possesses many Of the originals
with the signatures of the Bolshevik lead
ers.
The world has long suspected that. the
Bolshevik government had a close working
agreement with Germany The American
government is now submitting the proof,
and nobody who wishes to be we'll informed
about the war can afford to miss reading
and studying it.

THE WHOLE "LOYALTY IssITEn

S. j. Doyle, Democratic candidate for
governor Of North Dakota, in his speech at
Darlington, summed up the whole "loyalty
issue" in the North Dakota election, in one
sentence:
THAT the great majority of farmers OF
North Dakota, irrespective Of nationality are
loyal to the federal government, there is not
the slightest question, but they are loyal not
because OF Townley, but in spite Of him.
It's true and every man who is honest
with himself will admit it.
IF the farmers of North Dakota had fol-
Lowed Townley's lead little more than a
year ago, would North Dakota ever have
led the nation in the percentage Of over
subscription to the Liberty loanY
If they had followed Governor Frazier s
pale pink repetition of the Townley teach
ings, would we be able to hold up our heads
today -..~.
But they didn t follow Townley's lead,
and he executed the quickest about~face on
record, pulled out an American flag and
tried to get back at the head Of the process
sion which had started the other way.
If loyalty lis not an issue" in this cleo
ton, it is because Townley and Frazier do
not dare repeat their statements Of year
ago, nor advocate the course they urged
upon the farmers of this state then.

TT REMAINS UNDIMMED,

And now the cream buying plan which
was to be inaugurated by the state council
of defense has been made imperative for
the present, at least
1t has gone the way Of the elevator con-
solidation plan and other enterprises.
But the supreme act of craftsmanship re-
mains.
Nothing can dim it's lustre.
Nothing can detract from it's effulgence.
When the $4,000 appropriation is all
spent, and the books are balanced, the state
of North Dakota will have this supreme act
of constructive craftsmanship at which to
point.
It may be the only act on the books to
balance the $4,000, but it will stand out
the more clearly for that.
In all its Websterian grandeur it can be
cited as the $4,000 resolution of North
Dakota famous war time council of de-
Tense. It will go ringing down through
history as one years accomplishment of
the master mind that conceived it.
What is it7
Why, in this state it is forbidden to call
man pro-German unless you can prove
it.

DIFFICULT TASK
FACES PREMIER

Amsterdam, Sept. 1-(Correspon-
dence of The Associated Press. -
The new Austrian Premier, Baron
DIR. Max Won Hussarek Heinlein is
rescribed by The Vossesche Zeitung's
we'll informed Vienna correspondent
as IAN Austrian Hertling without the
latter's parliamentary experience
but with analogous political shad-
ing and adaptability." He was APP
pointed Premier July %.
Won Hussarek enters upon his
task under peculiarly difficult cir
cumstances. It is generally expect
ed that he will sail in Germanys
wake. cit could not be otherwise"
German commentators put it, al
most threateningly, although SO far
he has not made any binding declara-
ton to that effect.
Won Hussarek's appointment is
largely attributed to clerical influ-
ences. He belonged to the late Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand's set from
which Emperor Charles already has
chosen several ministers. 1t is
therefore expected he will enjoy the
support Of Catholics
To place the country's internal
economic situation on something like
g. sound basis if such be possible,
will be Hussareks most difficult
task. New taxation will be inmedi-
ately required to meet the service
of three and half milliards on war
debts and the reorganization of the
disorganized food distribution sys-
tenn will be equally imperative. How
he proposes to extract further rev.
enue from the tax ridden population
is a secret as yet not disclosed.

retire to the border, the Allies might use
you as the base for systematic bombing
raids on me, but If make peace with you
first, they can't do that to neutral coun-
try--although Of course, no such scruples
move me.
Therefore offer you peace, and what
is left of your miserable little country. All
you have to do is to desert your Allies, who
are now fighting your battles, and will
get out and let you restore your country as
best you may. Maybe will attend to you
later if can make peace with your Allies,

war, Admiral Dunn, who attained flag rank in
1915 in command of the Division Five of
the batteship force of the Atlantic fleet with
the Connecticut as his flagship.
Admiral Dunns hobby is his farm on Long
Island sound, not far from his birthplace at Wes-
terly, Rhode Island. He does not profess to be a
farmer but this farm was as much home" to
him as any place can be called home to a. navy
man. He has the reputation OF being one of the
best bridge players in the navy, which is saying
good deal in view of the quality of bridge that
may be found in almost any wardroom
Admiral Dunn lis accurate, and precise In his
manner and methods, as we'll as being very much
so in his personal appearance, He is dignified
without being aloof. genial without being ia,
miliar, the sort Of commanding officer who
wants everything fship-shape' and gets what he
wants from his subordinates by the simple proc
ess of letting them understand what he ex-
poets OF them. and then letting them alone each
TO achieve the results in his own way.

A. Column Devoted TO The Task OF Keep
ing Up With North Dakota Editors
The editor of The Valley City Times Record
dafinss bic nnllticaI- r,naltinr. fnIIngga.

The editor of The Valley City Times Recor
defines his political position as follows:
THE Times Record editor has been re-
quested to define his position on politics and
has been asked the question whether he is a
Democrat or a Republican. In answer to
that we wish to say that we have always been
a Republican, but never of the hide bound
variety. We have usually done our own
thinking and our own voting and have al
lowed no one to do 1t for us. At various
times we have forsaken the old party which
we have followed ever since we first voted
and supported men on the other side whom
we have believed to be better fitted for the
office sought--we do not believe in blindly
j supporting any man just because he belongs
to the Republican party or vice versa but we
do believe In political independence to the eX-
tent Of supporting those whom we feel would
best serve the people. That is the position
we shall take during this coming so days Of
unpleasantness in the political battle ring.
We are going to support some Democrats be-
lieving them to be better fitted for the job
than the ones who are running on the Re
publican ticket That is position at this
time-tn other words an Independent
Republican doing our own thinking and our
own voting. This ought to be plain enough
for anybody.

The Htnsboro Banner discusses nsIackersn as

The Hillsboro Banner discusses "slackers" a
follows:
The Stacker still makes himself subject of
comment by more less frantic efforts to
escape the draft officers, though relatively he
is small in numbers In his report on the
first draft last January Provost Marshal Gen
eral CrOwder stated that out Of nearly
100000 men, only little 5000 arrests
were made for failure to register and that
more than one-haf of these, after registering,
were released, the authorities having wisely
assumed an attitude of Ienency toward all
those who after arrest exhibited willing
ness to register and extended the locus peni-
tentia far possible, believing that the
purpose of the law was to secure full regis
tration rather than full jails.' But the gov
ernments searching and persistent inquiry,
leaving practically nothing behind the first
draft. did not teach the desired lesson, and
at least few slaclzers still resort to every
imaginable trick with a view to escape mill
tary service.

The Grand Forks Herald comments as follows
on the recent Illinois primary:
so many things enter into an election, and
especially primary election, that conclusions
which are drawn at distance are very apt to
be entirely wrong because of the existence of
a multitude of local conditions with which
the outsider cannot be familiar. But, what
ever causes may have contributed to the re-
suits, sound hearted American citizens every
where will be gratified to know that the Re-
publican voters Of the state Of Illinois have
declined with emphasis to nominate Mayor
William Hale Thompson of Chicago their
candidate for the United States senate. In
the recent primary Thompson was defeated
, by Medin Mccormick by a plurality of $4,000
in a three cornered fight in which the third
candidate Foss, crowded Thompson closely,
and, apparently, received vote most Of
which would otherwise have gone to McCor-
mick.
