ing has had a tendency to direct her
thoughts and energies away from the
ideals of3home life, and to center them
upon personal ambition. In making
this remark, DR.. Louis j. Dublin calls
attention to the fact that in the last
century the number of children under
5 for every 1000 women of child-bear-
ing age in he United States has de-
creased from 976 to sos. The rate Of
decline has become so rapid that, if
continued through a, century and a
half longer, there would be no chill
dren at all!
Selfshness, says DR.. Dublin, is at
the bottom of the mischief. People do
not want to be bothered with children.
An increasing number of men and
women-especially of the class best
able to rear and provide for families
refrain from doing so because they
prefer to live better than their fore
bears, and to spend more on them
selves than would be possible if they
had offsprings to raise and educate

Many people perhaps do not realize
how our government is speeding up
IN sending troops to France. The
United States is now preparing to
transport $4,000 troops to Europe
each month, writes Ben F. Allen,
Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Plaindealer. This is double
the number of troops that could be
handled a month ago and means, in
other words, that every thirty days a
force equal to Uncle Sans entire
army at the outbreak of the war can
be put on European soil. Scientific
handling of ships in port has made
increased efficiency possible, while
the transportation facilities have been
Increased 20 per cent in the last
month. Uncle Sam is getting ready
very fast now to give the kaiser the

The old house of seven gables at
Salem, Mass, made famous by Ma

youth and now blossoms forth as g

PROPOSES BILL TO PUT. THIR-
TEEN MONTHS INsEACH YEAR 8

Following up the bill to e, save day
light Representative Smith, republic
can, Michigan, introduced a bill to
simplify the calendar. He would
make each month twenty-eight days
long and add a new month, Sol, after
June. Under this plan year would
still have 365 days, but be thirteen
months long instead of twelve. &c..
"This is in line with the daylight
proposition, in that it is an effort to
enable men to adapt themselves bet
ter to natural conditions he said.
"By evening up the months we will
remove lot of difficulty and unfair
ness such as is caused by some
months longer than others. We were
brought up regarding month as hav-
ing four weeks. This makes it that
in fact.
The bill was referred to the commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM
merce. Mr.. Smith said it would bene-
fit the masses once it is put in opera
ton. The bill provides:
"That beginning with the year 1920
each year shall have thirteen months
of four weeks, or twenty-eight days;
the added month to be called Sol (from
Solstice) and to follow June.
"That Monday shall be the first day
of the week and the first, eighth, fif-
teenth and twenty-second days of
every month, the other days Of the
week to follow in rotation by number,
maying Sunday the Seventh day of
the week and the seventh, fourteenth,
twenty-frst and twenty-eighth days
Of every month. That the day follow
ing the last day in December, 1919,
and the last day of December Of each
subsequent year, shall be called New
Year Day. It shall be legal holiday
the first day of the new or following
year, but not part of January.
"That in the year 1920 and every
fourth year thereafter there shall be
an extra day, called Leap day, to be
placed between June and Sol, but not
to be part of either month-provid-
ed that there shall be no Leap day in
the last year of any century that is
not Invisible by four"

A GUILTY CONSCIENCE

Of late the editor of this paper has
heard great many complaints of
people of German extraction to the
effect that they were being "perse-
cuted" and ''harrangued" by the press
and others.
Just how they figure this out we
confess we are unable to comprehend,
as we read a great many papers and
that "persecutes" or "harangues" the
German people.
It is true that any paper or citizen
that has the welfare of America at
heart is prosecuting, prosecuting, and
harranguing the pro-Germans in this
country, and right they are, as there
is. in our opinion, no lower, vile,
Shiny creature on the face of this
earth than the reptile called pro-
German. "
The editor of this paper is of Ger
man extraction, and if we saw a case
for offense, we would take offense, but
we have never been accused of being
'pro-German, no one has hurt our feel
lngs, and it seems to US it is merely
Ia matter of conscience. If you are
pro- German. why of course you would
take offense if one prosecuted the pro-
Germans. If you are disloyal and un-
American, why of course we suppose
you would feel offended, at the way
the press is ''harranguing" the dis
loyal.
If you are 100 per cent pure Amer
lean you have no cause for offense at
derogatory criticism of pro- Germans,
traitors and spies, and if you take Of
tense it is of course a plain admit
lance that you are one of the three
above mentioned.
Before complaining Of being "per-
secuted" or ''harrangued" hereafter.
better take stock of your own con-
conscience, and ask yourself if it is
100 per cent loyal and if it is, we are
sure you will not be offended so cas-
lily.
And don't overlook one fact, and
that is that: No one in this country,
is prosecuting the German people, or
any other loyal citizens, and that any
well-meaning American will gladly
assist any foreign-born man or won-
an to become thoroughly American
lied, if they show that they are will
ing to become so, but you can't ex-
pect them to show any respect or tol-
erance to you, if you are sympathiz-
ing with the Hohenzollern hounds, and
the day is here that you have got to
be 100 per cent loyal, or take the con-
sequences.-Golden Valley American.

John D. Rockefeller will pay this
year to the government approximately
s3S, 100000 in income tax, if the esti-
nate recently made by financial au-
thority is correct. This is based on
an estimated income Of 100000 900
and is within $4,000, 900 of the amount
collected in personal income taxes
from the entire country in 1915. The

On the prairies of Kansas camou-
flage is being made use Of by the
Kansas jackrabbit. Two residents Of
this section Of the state can testify
that at least one "jack" in Barton
county owes his life to the fact that
he knew the value of this art. The
two men were hunting on farm near
here whe nclose at hand a Russian
thistle jumped up and started off
across the pasture at 2:40 gait.
When the thistle had got out of
range, rabbit emerged from its pro-
tecting cover and loped off nonchal-
antly, while to the bewildered hunt
ers slowly came the realization that
they had been the victims of clever
bit of camoufiage on the part Of a
western Kansas jackrabbit. ,a

GIVE rs LIBERTY OR GIVE US
DEATH

When Patrick Henry delivered his
famous speech in the Virginia con-
vention in ITS it brought home to
the people Just what was needed to
spur them on to victory against OPP
preston. We think the needs of the
time in this great war are somewhat
similar. We need to fight to finish
to give the people of the world free
dom from militarism and autocracy.
We produce here the speech Of Mr..
Henry:
It is natural to man to indulge in
the illusions of hope. We are apt to
shut our eyes against painful truth
and listen to the song of that siren till
she transforms US into beasts. Is this
the part of wise men, engaged in
great and arduous struggle for lib
erty? Are we disposed to be of the
number Of those who having eyes see
not, and having ears hear not, the
things which so nearly concern their
temporal welfare?
Sir, we have done everything that
could be done to avert the storm which
is now coming on. Our petitions have
been sighted, our remonstrances have
SlOlcIlCS anu
suit, our supplications have been dis
regarded, and we have been scorned
from the foot of the throne. There is
no longer any room for hope. If we
wish to be free we must fight. l re-
peat it, sir, we must fight. An ap-
peal to arms and the God of Hosts is
all that is left US.
They tell US, sir, that we are weak
unable to cope with so formidable
an adversary. But. when shall we
grow stronger? When we are totally
disarmed and a British guard station
ed in every house? Shall we gather
strength by irresolA.ion and mac
tion? There is just God who pre-
sides over the destinies of nations.
The battle, sir, is not to the strong
alone, it is to the vigilant, the active,
the brave. There is no retreat but
submission and slavery. The war is
inevitable-and let it come l repeat
it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir. to extenuate the
matter. The war is actually begun.
Our brethren are already in the field.
Why stand we here idle? What would
the gentleman wish? Is life so dear,
or peace SO sweet, as to be purchased
at the price of chains and slavery?
Forbid it, Almighty God! l know
not what course other may take, but
as for me, give me liberty or give me
death.

Just word to our people regarding
free advertising. The Times-Record
is willing at all times to give reason
able space to church societies, lodges,
etc., for announcements of meetings,
but it wants to draw line. 1t seems
to be the habit of some people to
phone in lodge or church notice and
wants these notices published from
one to four or five times, expecting
this to be done free of course, not
realizing that it takes up mans time
at good wages each day to keep track
of these different items. Not only is
this so but it takes up lot of space

There has been gathering of poll
ticians in the city the past day or
two, under the guise of the Lincoln
Republican League. Not being invit-
ed into the councils of this new party
that has for it's primary object the un-
doing of the non-partisan league and
the saving of the state, we are unable
to tell our readers thing about it's
deliberations. We can say, however,
that bunch of real good fellows,
from various sections of the state,
held some sort of a meeting in this
city yesterday and up to the wee
small hours of this April morn, but
what the conclusions of this august
body was we know not. It is appar-
ent that great many people are get
ting tired of Boss Townley, and es-
pecially of the fact that the state is
gradually being turned into a social
ist hotbed, and perhaps these men
think it is time to call halt. North
Dakota is most intensely loyal and its
people are not long going to stand for
any propaganda that is going to put
it in bad with the other states of the
union. We have had much undesir-
able advertising as result of this
socialistic regime that we have been
inflicted with the past two years and
it is becoming somewhate offensive.
The Times Record is not making a
fling at any particular person or per-
sons, but we do want to see the state
settle down to it's normal conditions
governed by men of unquestioned
ability and standing, and men that we
do not have to apologize for every
. time we go away from home and are
asked where we hail from. If some
sort of an agreement can be made to
put straight, loyal ticket in the field
whether it be composed of democrats
or republicans, thousands of voters
will rally to that standard. It is the
men we want as we'll as the principles.
If we cannot get men Of known stabil-
ity that will give the farmer as we'll
as the business men square deal, we
better let matters alone. It is fact
that the state has been upset the past
two years and we know not whittier
we are drifting. Hasten the day when
this can be done away with and safe
and sane government again reign at
Bismarck. in good old North Dakota.
Men are being removed from office
without any charge. no one knows his
or her tenure of official life, and it is
about time the curtain was rung down
on lot Of shody politics and political
demagoguery that is now rampant.
