RAILROADS TO THE PUMP AGAIN

One of the things not mentioned by the ad-
vocates of returning railroads to private oper-
alton, is the fact that the economies secured un-
Ger government operation will be made the ba-
sis for vast issues of watered stock. Nearly all
the stock on which the government guaranteed
earnings when it took the roads over was water.
Shippers will have to pay dividends on the new
water and when we finally take the roads over,
the water will have to be paid for in full. In
short. there is no way of escaping the payment
for the sin of putting the interests of financiers
and special privilege before that OF the country.
It is significant that in all the mobbing and
other laWlessness which we have experienced
to our national shame in the last year, not one
case can be attributed to those many people
think of as composing notes.-the working PEG,
pie on the farm and in the factory. They have all
been silk-hat mobs helped out occasionally by
some hired thugs. More surprising yet, our gov
ernments, state and national, with all their ia
cilities for experimenting and Furnishing Grimm
ais, have been unable to land even one sllk-hat
mobbist What can we make of this latter tact
Are our officials stupid policemen or do legal
restraints apply only to the common people!
We ask to know.
From the line of CAB put on by the big city
press these days, the average reader might
be forgiven for thinking that the /. W. w. in
vented loafing some three or four years ago and
that the League farmers are now negotiating
with them for the patent. This same reader IS
also assured every day that, high-class sabotage,
known as long ago as Shakespeare time as
forestalling and later called boarding, dealing
in futures, or monopolizing, is a thing OF the
past.
How splendid it is of the plutocratic news
pepers' to try to save the people from those per-
sons they call "self-seeking" politicians" When
the self-forgetting plutocrats apply the term TO
Nonpartisan league leaders, every one OF whom
is pledged not to seek public office, they are
about as near right as they ever are on quest
ions of fact and moral conduct. How pleased
they would be if League leaders would feather
their own nests a little and save them from
making their lies out of whole cloth!
The Advocate seems pleased that Bottineau
County schools has received a larger amount OF
state aid than any other in the state. In another
breath the Advocate condemns the work OF the
man, N. C. Macdonald, that made such aid pos
sible. 20 Consistency consistency, Thou art q
jewel"
After hearing the old gang political talk Of
the last campaign, we can not resist calling at
tention to the fact that the jawbone OF an ass
is out of date as a weapon. 1t is recorded that
even Samson threw the thing away, and there
is no evidence that he ever used it a second
time.
If you happen to read any glowing accounts
Of how the big business convention which just
met at Atlantic City plans to save the nation,
lust remember that it planned also a drive on
organized labor. That fact will keep You from
committing the GROSS error Of MISPLACED faith.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1918-12-26

The dishonesty, treason and other crimes
charged against the League leaders, appear on
analysis to consist of giving the farmers who
are wise, a real chance to better their condi-
ton. To the parties on the farmers back the
order to get off is the worst Of crimes.

"The discipline In base hospitals In

Is occasionally carried to extremes, as
evidenced by the following incident. A
certain nurse was found ringing the
doOrbell Of the officers quarters early
one morning. When asked what she
wanted. she replied that the villa In
which she and the other, nurses were
quartered was on FIRE. After the fire
had been extingulshed, she was asked
