HOW TO SAY cANToNMENT

How do you pronounce canton ment?" Do you know how it is pro nounCed by President Wilson and by Secretary of War Baker, and that they are among the very few who pro. nounce it correctly?
 Since the word recently came into common use one has been accustomed to hearng from officers and privates in the army and from persons of educa tiOn in other walks of life the pro nunciatiOn "cantonement," with the accent on the second syllable, and the 70" as in the word "go." That version is not supported by single authority in the English language, and is not recorded by single Photographer
 At the White House 1t is said the erroneous form is sometimes heard from visiting government men but that the pronunciation recorded as
 preterred by the latest edition or standard dictionary-"cantoonment"- accent on the second syllable is more frequently heard.
 President Wilson and Secretary Baker pronounce the word alike, and their pronunciation of it is recorded as preferred" by the Century, Webster's Worcester's and Fernald's 1917 revis- ion of the Comprehensive Standard Dictionary, and as alternative" LJ the New Standard. They place the accent on the first syllable and slight the 'o' in the second and the "e'' in the last syllable, thus: Cant nm mt "

THAT FUEL ORDER

A Washington dispatch of March throws some light on the much-dis- cussed fuel order of Administrator Gar field. It is as follows:
 That the situation was so serious that it threatened disaster for the al. lied cause about January 15, when the American lines of communication to France were absolutely destroyed was the startling statement made today by Representative Rainey in a speech de livered on the floor of the house This statement was made in defense of Fuel Administrator Garfield.
 "He said that the lines of cOmmuni- cation were shut off principally be- cause of the fuel shortage and de- clared that there was no other alterna- tive for the government but to issue such an order. He also criticized the newspapers. congressman and busf- ness 0OuSC8 WnO hdQ criticized the measure. saying that the president knew the situation better than anyone in the country; that he did not think it proper to give out the information he had at hand at that time, but took all the unjust criticism knowing that he was right in his de- cision. The representative also said that if the Amercan people would place their confidence in their chief executive and not be so ready to crit!- cize when they do not have the full facts before them to judge the United | States would then make better progress in the war.
 "He also said that the crisis was passed some weeks ago, due to the stringent fuel measures, and that un- ess something unforeseen happens the ines of communication will now be kept up"

HEARST IN HOT WATER

Good for the scribes! Hardly had the self-righteous William Randolph Hearst recovered from the shock of firing a broadside at Colonel Roose. welt for rocking the boat and embar- rassing the administration in divers ways when he got another shock that just about knocked him silly. Of late Hearst has been making a habit of buying up all the popular magazines that he can get his hands on. Also he boasts of having retained the ex- elusive services of the most gifted and bigh-salaried talent appearing in any of the popular periodicals That is, he did boast; he no longer can make this claim, because a number of his blooded scribes have declared a boy colt against his publications.
 Among those who have already de- clared their intention to break off con nections with the Hearst syndicate are Gouverneur Morris, Wallace Irwin, Rea Irwin and Oliver Herford, and these writers say that other prominent con tribptors are sure to follow their lead. These writers claim that their patri- 'Otic scruples permitted no other course of action. Speaking for himself and the others, MT. Herford said: We are patriotic. It is not case of tempera- 'ment this time, but pure Americanism. Why isn't Hearst suppressed?"
 A good many persons, in the pro- fession and outside, have been wonder ing for a long time why Hearst hasn't been suppressed. The stuff he is feed ing the public has a bad flavor and is not doing anybody any good On the contrary, the sentiments that he has been attempting to SOW broadcast are liable to do all sorts of harm if they ever take root in the minds of the peO- pie His propaganda is unpatriotic and pernicious in its possibilities.
 But the Aoss of his star contributors should result in pretty effectively clip ping his wings. The high-minded de cision arrived at by these men reflects unusual credit upon their profession and signal honor upon themselves. The sooner that Hearst learns that his money will not buy everything in sight the better for him and for the country at large. ..~ \

MA NATURALIZATION

Note the trend toward nationaliza- tion. Since this war began Britain and America have nationalized their railway systems, and much of their shipping. Canada is taking similar steps. The Americans government isl building many ships of fabricated steel and wood for her own use. Canada is starting on the same great work. The people will own these, vessels.
 In the matter of naturalization, the United States has gone no farther than government control and operation dursI ing the war period But some of her congressman are preparing bills favor. ing government ownership, a virtual program of coIIectivism or non-revOld- tionary socialism for that particular utility.
 Questions of ability to pay the costs are raised by some. Ardent supporters of the government ownership plan d6S not hestitate on this matter, as they argue the fact that the people pros duce the traffic or general business which means the wealth that creates and maintains the transportation sys- tems Their argument is that if the people can produce the whole cost off the article within few years why not produce it for themselves. The 'argu- ment applies to railways and other large utilities and resources.
 Now that the governments are uTh der stress of war they find that over lap, competition and waste are enorm ous not only in competitive operation of railway and steamship lines but also in the producing and handling of foodstuffs and other great necessities, Accordingly America is thinking of na tionalizing the meat industry of Amer. ica If this can be done, it is but q step to handle other products. Many already favor standardization of banks, department stores and the like.
 The war has demonstrated the abil. ity of the government to handle the vast utilities and the products of trs various nations, and one by one they are coming under government com trol. The trend of the day is not back ward. It is forward. Once the gov ernment establishes an institution for
 the benefit of the masses for a short
 time the chances are greatly in favor
 of that new order of things being car. ried on after the war. The people who
 derive the benefit now will demand it
 in peace as well as in war.

 please, the tide is moving in the di

said to believe, and point to this as a
great victory for organized labor.
brought about by the National Nom

Terrorism sufficient to compel the
farmer to accept the obnoxious In
dustrial Workers of the World as
business partners would be impossible
with we'll organized and armed home
guard units existing as they now do
in BIZ North Dakota towns. The
plan, therefore, is to break up and
discredit these organizations and this
the league believes it can do by pass
ing a bill requiring them to labor as
pensation of 81 a day.
1t has been a part of the policy of
home guard companies, especially in
the smaller towns, to aid the farmer
in harvest emergencies without ask
ing anything for their labor, and the
guardsmen had anticipated a much
greater demand than ever before for
such assistance text fall. The league
bill, however, would require profess
sional men and business men and
bankers and farmers and laboring
men who form the personnel OF these
home guard companies to give up
their business or occupation on any
whinl of the governor and to serve
for n dollar a day wherever the
governor might choose to send them
on any preteXt and to remain there as

TOlUnley And Governor
Laying Plans to Destroy
Home Guard Companies
Bill Will be introduced Giving Governor Full Power to
Call Home Guards for any Purpose He May see Fit
Coal Mining or Harvesting, at ST Per Day.

Bismarck, N. d., Jan. 19.-The de-
guard is plotted in a Nonpartisan
league bill now drawn up and which.
according to a N%onpartisan. league
member of the administration, will be
introduced early in the special session.
This bill gives the governor abso-
lutte power to create n disband
home guard units and provides that
such companies shall be at all times
at the disposal of the governor. to be
used by him in manning trains when
necessary, in mining coal. in seeding
or harvesting, and that the compen-
sation for such ervices shall be. 81
per day, to be paid by the railway OF
mining company or the, farmer who
profits from the labor of the home
guardsmen..
The bill is regarded by N%onpartisan
league chieftains as a great joke at
the expense of the home guard COM
panies. of which 3l7 have been or
ganized in this state. The plan of the
league leaders is said to make the
service so distasteful to these units
that they will voluntarily disband.
Then. with the farmers left abso-
and with Governor Frazier's procla-
nation forbidding peace officers to
arrest and search suspicious charac-
tiers or to break UP their congrega-
tons. the situation will be such that
the league believes it can coerce the
farmer into accepting the contract
with the agricultural workers union
which was so unanimously objected to
last year.

play for the organized labor vote. If

Quigley is an American, but joined
