The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1918-07-11
Exchange Expressions.
The Supreme Court Says 1t.
{John H. Bloom, in Devils Lake Journal)

The supreme court of Minnesota has spoken
with reference to A. G.. Townley, president, and
Joseph Gilbert, manager, of the nonpartisan
league. They were charged with speaking and
circulating propaganda which tended to in
terfere with enlistments in the army and navy.
AT the time the men were arrested the fact
was spread broadcast all over the country and
newspapers of certain political alignment gave
the item foremost position, in foremost type,
and in editorial comment they used foremost
language. They were not content with pub
fishing the news once, as for instance the more
lished it day after day, week after week, and
month OTTER month. And for at least two
months the incident has been the chief, and in
some instances the only subject Of editorial
comment. The attention of the readers of the
newspaper was so constantly riveted to the
arrest of Iownley and Gilbert that it was diff
fcult to think of anything else. And altho the
cases had not been tried out upon their merits,
so persistent and cunning were the attacks
upon the men that hundreds and thousands of
men and women thruout the northwest were
influenced to believe that these men were dis
iooyallsts, proof Of the charge being accepted by
the mere fact of arrest.
It is said that the arrest of the men was
used so skillfully as to be responsible for the
defeat OF the nonpartisan ticket in the recent
Minnesota primary election-as it was intend
ed to be.
AND now InaC the supreme court mas spoken
what did it say?
It says that the leagues war views do not op-
pose the Government prosecution of the war.
1t says that the war views expressed by the
league are against the autocratic military sys-
tenn of Germany, and that no mention Of the
military system of the United States was made.
1t holds that the demurrer of the defendants
should have been sustained originally in Martin
county, throwing the case out of court here.
The opinion was written by Mr.. Justice Quin.
whose home is in the county where the indict-
ments were brought.
1t is the supreme court of Minnesota which
has branded as false the charges which have
been so persistently circulated for the purpose
OF discrediting the nonpartisans. It should be
sufficient to convince any fair minded person
that a grave injustice has been done. And it's
a pity, too, that the opinion of the court could
not have been handed down before rather than
after the object Of the false arrests had been
accomplished.
By the way, when Townley and Gilbert were
arrested the Fargo Forum carried a big black
line on the first page, and for days and days
it gave the incident first page, top column DO
sition. But the decision of the supreme court,
which was a complete victory for the ~leaguers,
did not appear yesterday on the first page.
Neither did it appear on the second, the third,
the fourth or the fifth; but on the sixth page
in the sixth column, well toward the bottom, the
garbled report appeared. Few readers would
notice it.

Of a beating at the hands Of the people" And
considered a landslide in this state-all the

not overlook this opportunity to point out to you what, l believe to be the paramount duty of the Democrats of the State in this great hour of the worlds crisis. Every sign of these terrible days of war and revolution changes with time, and no politician dare venture to conjecture the effect of these changes; therefore, it behooves us to search our hearts through and through and make them ready for new day, day I hope and believe, of greater opportunity, and greater pros perity for the average mass of struggling men and women, and of greater safety and opportun- ity for the whole world.
 Let the Democratic party, therefore, forget everything but the new service they are to be called upon to render. The days of political and economical re construction which are ahead of us, no man can assess; but we know this, that every program must be thoroughly purged of selfish interest, that no party must try to serve itself, but every party must try to serve humanity. The task is very practical one, meaning that every program must be tested by this question only; is it just; is it for the benefit of the average man without influence or privilege; does it embody in real fact the highest conception of social jus tice and right dealing, without respect of person or class, or particular interest?
 This is a high test. It can be met only by those who have genuine sympathy with the masses. a real insight into their needs and opportunities. The candidate who rises to this test will receive the support of the people, because he deserves it.
 With personal regards, 1 am.
 Very truly yours,
 w. A. MOEUR.
