ers in an least one-half Of the coun-
ties of the state and the Courier News
states that the required number will
be secured The initiative petition
calls for this to be submitted to the
people at the November election.
There are ten amendments proposed
to this new constitution, most of them
being all right, but there are three or
four of the proposed amendments that
in our judgment should be turned
down. Anyway between now and No.
vember the matter will have chance
to be thoroughly discussed and the
people will have time to give the mat
ter very cereful consideration.
Amending the constitution is serious
matter and in doing it hastily many
discrepancies are likely to creep in.
North Dakota has at the present time
one of the best constitutions in the
union, with all the safeguards neces-
sary. If it is necessary to amend
there is a way to do it through the
people and the legislature. Our pub
lie school fund will be in danger if
this is amended as desired by league
leaders, and we can see where North
Dakota can go into any kind of bus
mess unlimited. Let us give this
matter serious consideration between
now and November then if the people
want new constitution it is their
right. A majority should rule, al
though in many cases majority is
wrong. ,..--.

A PRODIGAL SENATOR

Coming in at the 18th hour, Sena-
tor Gronna of North Dakota, like the
progidal son, asks for forgiveness.
Since the senator seems sincere in
his admission of wrong and processes
Ia loyalty that seems to be genuine
it would be best to forgive his past
sins of omission and take him
back into the fold.
Senator Gronna is big man, an
able man, but a man of stupendous
stupidity, Of egotism and the stub.
borness Of an army mule. He must
instinctively have felt that he was
wrong when he first began to oppose
the administration war measures. He
could not have mistaken the temper
of the people. His ordinary sense
of the eternal fitness of things must
have convinced him that. since we
have entered this war we must fight
to the finish and win it. Senator
Gronna, however, declined to admit
all of this, but bowed his neck and
stubbornly protested against the pol.
icies Of the president, against war
the draft law and big appropriations
Now the senator from North Dako.
ia seems to be paving the way for a
complete surrender. He moves eau.
tiously, for the senator is a cautious
man, but he has seen fit to publicly
announce that "autocracy and dig
archy must be crushed in the inter
est of the peoples government and in
the interest of liberty and freedom.
"There were those Of U.S." explains
Senator Gronna to his people at home
"who were willing at the particular
time the declaration was made to en-
ter the war, but l hope that at least
no senator will challenge the patriot
ism of any of those who were in the
minority at that time. We are as
much interested in the outcome of the
war as those who were in the major
ity. know it to be my patriotic duty
to do everything in my power to pros
ecute the war successfully"
The expression comes from the re-
icalcitrant senator somewhat tardily,
and the 18th hour repentance seems
to be gently voiced, because he finds
his constituency has fast deserted
him. The man who holds Office and
who hopes to be reelected does not
act wisely when he makes enemies of
his supporters, and when Senator
Gronna disregarded the patriotic
ideals Of the people of North Dakota,
when no put his opinions above the
opinions and loyal beliefs of the peo-
pie who elected him to Office, he made
Ia mistake which will no doubt result in
his retirement from the senate.
His protestation of a new and
abiding faith comes at a late hour and
seems to have fallen on unwilling
ears in his home state.-Memphis
Commercial Appeal.
Mr.. Gronna's 18th hour repentance
will be given a cold shoulder by the
people of North Dakota is our opin-
ion. -

Senator Sherman, of Illinois, in the
United States senate yesterday &C.
cused Mr.. Townley Of being pro-Ger-
man and said the national non-parti-
san league was run by German money
or words to that effect. We think, per-
haps, Mr.. Sherman's charges are
somewhat exaggerated. We do not
think that the league is run by Ger
man money, because we know person
ally that hundreds of farmers in this
county alone, have honestly gone into
this league and paid their money be-
cause they thought it was the thing
that was going to provide the pan
acea for all the ills the farmers al
lege confront them. We do think that
Townley in the start was decidedly
against our government in the prose-
cution Of the war, but when he got
his ear to the ground he very soon
changed front and ever since has been
advocating the support of the govern
ment. We do not think much of a
change of front under pressure and
have our doubts; as to his sincerity.
But in fairness. to the farmers of the
country the Times wants to
say that while they have been follow
ing Townley the money they are put
ting in is not pro-German money.
They went intojthe thing because they
thought they were not getting a
square deal at the hands of the legis-
lature and the machine in control of
the state at the time this league was
organized. We think they jumped
from the frying pan into the fire for
the state has been in worse condition
than before and outside of spending
their money to maintain an army Of
socialists we fail to see where they
have gained anything for themselves
but on the other hand the state has
gained a lot Of unsavory notoriety.
The farmers are entitled to a square
deal and should not, be blamed or
branded as pro-German for the sins
of Townley. What we would like to
know, however, is wheather or not he
has purchased liberty Bond in the
third drive? When he was on the
stand at Bismarck he stated that he
did not know whether he had bought
one or not in the second drive but
thought the Office had purchased one
for him. A pretty good patriot like
he should know.

A government agent was in the
Times-Record Office this morning ask
ing us to urge the farmers to plant
all the flax possible this season as
the government needs the linseed oil.
North Dakota raised SIS per cent of
the flax crop but it can do better than
that. Last year the total bushels for
the United States was 100000 and
this year the country will need 49,
00O, 900 bushels. We are told that &c.
900 acres of school land was sold in
Barnes county this spring, much of
this being new land that is still un-
plowed. If our farmers will pillow this
up and plant it to flax thousands of
bushels can be raised to help win this
war. It is an imperative duty-a pa
triotic duty-that every American cit
izen owes to his government in these
war times to plant every acre to crop
that can be utilized. On the farmers
of the country the government is de-
pending for grains to sustain the boys
in the trenches as we'll as provide the
necessary oils, etc., needed for war
purposes. Get this idea fixed in your
minds, farmers of Barnes county, and
respond to the call to your utmost. It
is your country, our country we
must all do our part or fail-and an
American should not have the word
fail in his dictionary.

BUY THRIFT STAMPS

! When you are discussing the war
with your friends and you say, ~
hope the kaiser gets what's coming
to him." you are voicing an admirable
sentiment. But you are merely voic-
ing the sentiment-and that's all.
The war will certainly not be won
through one hundred million patriots
merely voicing sentiments. We can't
weaken the Hindenburg line merely
by weakening our voices.
Instead of merely hoping that the
Kaiser gets what he deserves, buy at
Least a Thrift Stamp and enable the
government to buy gallon of gaso-
line that will furnish power for a
motor truck in France. The purchase
of Thrift Stamp makes louder and
! more ominous noise than the human
| tongue. "
When you read of the gallant stand
the Americans are making in France,
don't think you have done your duty
by saying, "God bless the brave boys"
It is an excellent sentiment, but if
instead you were to invest in five
Thrift Stamps the Government could
| purchase pair of khaki breaches for
one of the brave boys.
Don't let your admiration of our
gallant Allies stop with saying, "The
French and British are surely putting
up a wonderful fight" Back up your
admiration with a bit of practical
help. Six Thrift Stamps will fur
nish fresh bread for a soldier for one
month.
Don't simply denounce the Huns
when you read of some fresh atrocity.
Denunciation alone can't impress
them Just bear in mind the fact
that the money you can invest in one
War Saving Stamp will supply one
hundred rifle bullets.
I Do you really wish to see the Allies
victorious and the Russians defeat

War Savings Stamps purchased means
la rife for a soldier; eight War Saw
tings Stamps, the monthly pay of a
private soldier in the trenches fight
ing for you.

you bear in mind the fact that by in

The mayor of Duluth is greatly
pleased with the dry regime and says
in an interview that the city is very
prosperous under the no saloon sys-
tenn. He said: 81 have not heard a
merchant speak against the dry rule.
They are all doing a better business,
bank deposits have made a great
gain. There are no vacant buildings
an! there is no trouble about employ
ment for the laboring men," The
mayor likes the new system and be-
lieves it is here to stay. There is no
question about what prohibition will
do for the common people. Take
North Dakota for shining example.
There is not more prosperous state
in the union and the people are, saw
ing money just because it is free
from saloons. Working men are look
ing after their families instead of
putting the money into the pocket of
the saloon-keeper, and the only diff
ference there is between the wet and
dry regime is that bank deposits are
swelling for the laboring class while
they are decreasing for the saloon
keeper-and that is proper. Let the
latter get into some decent business
and hold up his head with the rest of
the business men instead Of taking the
bread cut of the mouths of the CON-
mon people.

THE SALVATION ARMY

Perhaps, in the old days when war
and your home town seemed as far
apart as Paris, France and Paris, ILL.,,
you were superior person who used
to smoker when you passed street
corner where small Salvation Army
band was holding forth. PerhapsA
Heaven forgive you--you even sneer-
ed a Little when you heard the bespec-
tacled sister in the poke bonnet bang
her tambourine and rise shrill voice
to the strains of ooh, death, where is
thy sting ling" Probably-unless
you yourself had known the bitterness
OF one who finds himself alone, hungry
and homeless in a big city-you did
not know much about the Salvation
Army.
Well, we are all homeless over here
and every American soldier will take
back with him a new affection and
a new respect for the Salvation Army.
Many will carry with them the memo
ries of cheering word and friendly
cruller received in one of the huts
nearest of all to the trenches. There
the old slogan Of "Soup and Saliva
ton" has given way to "Pies and
Piety:". 1t might be s'Doughnuts for
Doughboys." These huts, pitched
within the shock of the German guns,
are ramshackle and bare and few, for
no organization can grow rich on the
pennies and nickles that are tossed
into tambourines at the street corners
OF the world. But they are doing a
work that the soldiers themselves will
never forget, and it is an especial
pleasure to say so here, because the
Salvation Army, being much too SIM
pie and old-fashioned to know the
uses of advertisement, have never ask
ed US to. You, however, can testify
for them. Perhaps you do in your
letters home. And surely when you
are back there and you pass once
more a meeting" at the curb, yiu
will not smoker. You will tarry a
while-and take off your hat.-From
Stars and Stripes, printed by the SOL
der boys in France.
