the party, Cowsert resumed the work
single-handed.
Except for occasional aid from pass

Lacy Lebocage without being serious

supply of wire ran out.
He carried a heavy reel of wire
more than a mile through the sheIled

3,499 Americans Registered
in Buenos Aires Foreigners
Are Allowed to Vote There

Buenos Aires, May 31.-(Correspon-
dence of The Associated Press. On
ly 81 citizens of the United States
registered for the municipal elections
in Buenos Aires under the new law
which gives the vote to foreigners in
municipal elections. The census of
1914 showed that there were 3,449
Americans in the Argentine republic.
1t is estimated that this number has
doubled since the war began and that
most Of them are living in Buenos
Aires.
The newspapers commented unfa-
vorably on the fact that of the 10000
foreigners in the city who were enti-
tied to vote, only 1855 registered,
and said this Showed that they had no
interest in the city beyond making as
much money as possible and then re-
turning to their native countries.
The papers argued from this that
the foreigners collaboration in the
city government could never be de-
pended upon.
The census Of 1914 showed that
there were nearly as many aliens in
Buenos Aires as natives, TIT ,845 for
eigners and 1877 1859 natives. In or
der to give this great foreign popula-
ton voice in the city government a
law was passed recently extending the
vote to all aliens who were married to
Argentine women, or who had children
born in Argentina, or who paid a

specified amount of house rent. This
included nearly all the married for
eigners in the city. Unmarried for
eigners were entitled to the vote if
they paid as much as fifty pesos a
year in taxes.
The nationalities most largely repre-
sented were Italians, GAIT; Spaniards,
1904; French, sos; Russians, 4s1;
Uruguayans, 377; Germans, 1876;
English, IA.
One of the newspapers in comment
ing unfavorably on this rejection of
the ballot by the oreigners said it
was an "inexplicable social phenome-
nom"

WITH THE EDITORS,
FARMERS WANT TO KNOW

| A lot OF farmers wanted to know from Mr.
Townley something about the United Stores enter
prise, and on this subject, as on many Others Mr.
Townley is reticent According to his own state
ment, 600 farmers have subscribed to the Kenmare
store enterprise. Each subscription is $500. That
makes total Of $4,000 gathered in that one corner
of the state Of that $4,000 the corporation which
receives the money is not obliged by contract agree
ment or stipulation to devote more than 49, 600 to
the purposes Of the store and there is no stipulation
as to the manner in which even that sum shall be
handled The corporation may put in at Kenmarc
big store or little one-t has put in little one
and it may carry as many as few lines of mcr-
chandlsc as the three directors at the corporation
headquarters think proper The other $51 900 they
may use as they see fit. There absolutely no
strlctons. very neat little stunt would be to use
part OF the money to send a lot Of organizers to
California or Florida to carry democracy to the
people OF those states during our winter months.
Organization work in the South would be quite
pleasant at this time of the year, in spite Of the
occasional raw weather that visits southern sections
An organization job down there for couple Of cold
months, at salary of, say, $500 month, might
carry democracy to quite number Of people, and it
would certainly enable an organizer to have pleas
ant time in a quiet modest way. That would be
quite permissible under the agreement which the
farmer signs when he pays his hundred dollars. .
1t is quite natural that the farmers should want
to know, and it is quite natural that Mr. Townley
should be In no hurry to tell them lie has too good
a thing as it is.-Grand Forks Herald

ISHAM HALL WOULD
HAVE CHRIS BERTSCH
TAKEN OFF THE JOB
Too Much Activity in Police De-
partment Is Charge Against
Commissioner

Isham Hall, a we'll known Bismarck
man, is circulating petitions asking
for the recall of Police Commissioner
Chris i'ertst, because, it is alleged,
the police department in diligently
freeing the city of blindpiggers, boot
leggers, gam )lers, red light habitues
and other undesirables has incurred
unusual expenditures. The city audi
tors records indicate that the police
commissioner is still we'll within the
limit of his appropriation. An unus-
ually determined campaign. against
vice and lawlessness has been waged'
during the last year because of bis
marck's hopes that by becoming a
model city it might induce the govern
ment to rehabilitate Fort Lincoln as
a training camp. About 1000 state
troops were stationed there all last
summer, and because of its good con.
duct Bismarck received high mark
from the war department. Police
Commissioner Bertsch is serving his
second term, having been. reelected
last spring by a large majority.

Yes, indeed, Bismarck stands pat.

Yes, indeed, Bismarck stands pat
If there ever had been any question: laying asid,
patriotic considerations for the moment, as to the
value to the capital city Of North Dakota Of tho
name which its founders gave it, The New York
Evening Post supplies the answer.
Bismarck stands pat on it's name.
Bismarck stands pat on it's destiny.
The capital city of North Dakota is becoming tho
metropolitan hearth of the worlds civilization. >
1t may have been generation in accommodating 5000
souls but it required less than decade to add 5000
to that 5000, and the next generation will undoubt-
edly see Bismarck city Of 2O,W}0.
OF course, that is not metropolitan in New
York sense, but no New Yorker or other easterncr
can have any adequate conception of how very, very
big the west S smallest towns are. If New York
had half the 'pep to the square inch that Bismarck
has it wouldn't have come SO close to clecting a
socialist mayor, would it have slid back into
the clutches OF Tammany, nor would it have done
great many things of W hch no real western town
would be guilty.
Eismarck's population is increasing proportions
acly about 100 times more rapidly than New
York's. When it comes to quality, Bismarck abso-
lutey declines to accept any comparison between
it's $500 people and New York's five millions
Bismarck has grown up to it's capitol, just as
our forefathcrs predicted it would do. 1t will grow
around it and past it and make the state house and
It's park the center OF the capital city in fewer years
than anyone now may predict.
Bismarck never has lost it's sclfconfidcncc.
Realization Of it's dreams may be Deferred but it is
not relinquishing any Of those dreams.
Bismarck, located as it is, on the banks of one
Of America s largest navigable rivers in the midst
of America s bread basket, served east west north
and south by America finest transcontinental rail
way systems, peopled by men Of vision and courage
and capacity, why should Bismarck lose confidence
Why should it for moment consider amending in
one syllable that speech delivered generation ago
and handed down to posterity by Of the world
greatest diplomats and scholars?
Bismarck stand pat?

BISMARCK STANDS PAT

The refusal Of the governor of North Ea-
kota to help change the name Of the capital
ON the ground that "Bismarck has been out
of German politics for some time and had
nothing to do with the present trouble is in
keeping with the spirit which has character
lied that political center from the beginning.
''Thc confidence of these WcstcrnerS is sll.
perb, ;" wrote Bryce in ''Thc American Com
monwcath,' and he pointed his remark by
an account of his visit to Bismarck upon the
occasion of the laying Of the cornerstone Of
the capitol. Among the speeches, he noted,
was one in which it was proved that, as Bis
marck was the center of Dakota, Dakota was
the center Of the United States, and the Unit
ed States the center of the world, Bismarck
was destined to ''bc the metropolitan hearth
Of the world civization.' What struck
our British visitor most forcby, however,
was the fact that the spot chosen for the CAPT
tol 'was not in the city, nor even on the
skirts of the city; it was nearly mile off, on
the top Of hill in the brown and dusty
prairie"
"Why here?' we asked. els it because
you mean to enclose the building in public
park?'
by no means; the capitol is intended to
be in the center Of the city; it is in this direc-
ton that the city is to grow
Bismarck has been a generation in ac-
cumulating population Of 5000, and can
hardly yet be termed the metropolitan hearth
of the worlds civilization, but who will deny
that its self-confdence is worthy Of the
doughty statesman whose name it bears?-
