This newspaper man has, since tax ing up his residence in Warren, been moved to icy and sorrow by many things.

Burros come and take up thelr posi- tion in the front yard and stand there for hours at a time without movement, just like statuary. Cows sharpen their horns on the side of the house and even try to enter b. way of the kitchen door. The wind blows tae sand through the window casing and sings a sad song in the night time.
 But all these sretful and vexatiOus worries are as nothing compared to the fit of depression brought on lately by neighbOrs COW.

FLASH OF AMERICAN SPIRIT.

The Fl Paso Herald tells the following story of Major John Greenway and the Bisbee spirit of patriotism as exemplified by Bill Davidson:
 An outcropping of the old Rougn Rider spirit occurred about the time John C. Greenway, general manager of the Calu- met and Arizona company. took a major commission and went to France as an en- gineer for Pershing. It was recalled to mind by the announcement that Major Green way has been appointed chief of construc- ton for the American expeditionary force.
 On the night Major Greenway was leaving Bisbee, a banquet was given hin and during the banquet there drifted in one William Davidson, coming from some where out of town. He had served with the Rough Riders in the Spanish-American war, as had also Major Creenway. Green way asked him what he was doing in Bis bee and Davidson had his reply all ready:
 Tim going over there with you. major
 But you can't go with me. Bill, said Major Greenway and proceeded to argue the matter at length.
 Well, I'm going, anyway" Davidson countered, and I'll stow myself away if necessary. One soldier wont turn another one down" So Davidson, who had money enough to pay his railroad fare east, did stow himself away on transport and sometime afterwards made his appearance in France. In some way he managed to break into the service abroad and Is doing his best to play man s part in the war. It was an informal way of breaking into the big conflict and luck was with him, else he would have been arrested at the port of debarkation and shipped back home on the next boat But one cannot but admire the fine patriotism and zeal and the pluck of the Rough Rider who was going anyhow, and went

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

The road to Benson is in excellent shape. A car made the round trip in three hours less ten minutes yes terday from Tombstone, and the driver sta,es that the road is in the best shape he has ever seen it. A drag was at work on the sand section near the Jim Christensen house. There is nO mud that bothers anywhere on the route. The Charleston road should have benefited greatly by this storm. The road to Turner is in fine shape. The read by the Empire ranch is now worse than ever as all the melting snow but added to the discomtorts of that set Of mud holes when they aTe bad.

It seems to be pretty generally agreed that of all our war work and obligations and necessities. if victory is to be won. that the ship-building campaign is in the worst shape. The blame can be placed wherever one may prefer; upon the petty jealousies and bickerings of the heads of this work; upon governmental red tape; upon union labor or lack of labor; upon shortsighted- ness. lack of grasp. Reorganization, or what But the fact remains that this most important of all war work has been i'll fated and Ill omened from the start. Even Goethals, the wizard of the Panama canal, failed to bring about the desired results. Many changes at the head of the work have caused much confusion at the bottom of the work Hurley, the present head of the shipbuilding program, seems to be the man for the place. He has to contend with the mistakes and delays of hf5 Predeces- sors; with graft in high and low quarters; with selfishness and greed upon the part of those who furnish material and those who assemble these materials into ships The ship situation, take it all in all, is discourag- ing, disgusting and even appalling; but thank Eieavenl 1t IS not past mending. The incompetents will be busted, the greedy ones disciplined, the grafters sent to jail, and the ships will be built. But there Is nothing to gain in concealing the fact that the work is behind and still in far from satisfactory condition of progress.

Farmers Get Nothing.

The store plan of the league
leaders was exposed in The
Forum Saturday night.
Thirty of these stores already
have been organized and about
$96O,OOO subscribed by the farm
ers merely. for the privilege Of
trading at the stores. They don t
get a dollars worth of stock,
and have no more to say about
their management than The
Forum has. Only 100000 of
this sum is supposed to go into
merchandise. The rest goes into
the pockets of the directors for
virtually any purpose they see
fit to spend it, so broad are the
provisions of the agreement.
The farmers have simply
handed the league leaders thirty
stores worth $8OO,OOO and given
them $66O,OOO in capital for any
IOther enterprises they see fit to
Iengage in. And that is only the
beginning. They expect to have
300 stores before the summer is
over.

No Occasion For Abuse.
Copyright. 1918. by The wheeler

There is no occasion for abuse
of the men who are behind the
enterprise. There is nothing un-
lawful or dishonest in the plan
they have outlined, although it
gives them every opportunity in
the world for misusing funds
entrusted to them.
But there is every occasion for
every citizen of North Dakota,
farmers and residents of the
towns and cities alike, to study
the plan thoroughly. 1t is time
to forget the old stock phrases
on both sides. Big Biz" and
the Kept Press" and "This
Man Townley" should be for
gotten.
This is a tremendous economic
problem, not just a political one.
1t is for bread and butter, not
personal prestige.
Every man should sit down
and think how he will be affect
ed if the plans of the Consum-
ers' United Stores corporation
are carried through, and extend
ed to Bvery business enterprise
in the state.

Hits The Farmer Also.

The farmer is going to have the
greatest cause of any for regret,
if the enterprise is carried
through to its logical conclusion.
He will saddle on himself the
biggest and most powerful and
autOcratic trust, the state has
ever known. 1t will be absolute
ly without competition and be
absolutely controlled by a few
men, perhaps one.
Suppose for one moment that
the plan was carried through to
its most extreme limits. Any
farmer who offended a leader in
the enterprise could be denied
the right to buy goods in North
Dakota. He could be ruined
financially and driven from the
state. If every other store and
bank were driven out of busi-
ness, and if the Townley store
and bank refused to do business
with him, what would be his re-
course? Sell his land, if he could
find anybody willing to put his
head into the same trap, and get
out of the state.

SOCIALISTS IN
AUSTRIA GROW
MORE RESTLESS
Demand That Government
Show Good Faith In
Peace Negotiations
tBy Assoolated Press.l

Stockholm, Jan. 21-Reports of
strikes and other demonstrations in
Austria which the Austrian govern
ment has permitted to be telegraphed
when read in connection with the
Vienna Arbeiter Zeitung's report of
fve socialist meetings held in Vienna
last Sunday. The meetings, which
persons, protested against "robbing
the Austrian people of all influence in
the peace negotiations by continual
ly postponing the meetings of the
chamber of deputies and the dele
gates. and by suppressing all criti-
cism in the press of Germany's and
Austria's foreign policy.
The meetings demanded that the
peace negotiations at Brest-Litovsk
be conducted in a friendly spirit
that the government reject all ef-
forts toward open or yelled annexa-
tions and that it reject the demand
that Russta's border nations right of
self-determfnation be rendered illu-
sorry and also reject the desire to
annex portions of these lands against
the will of the inhabitants".
The Socialists also demanded that
the people OF Poland, Lithuania aud
Courland be permitted to vote freely
on the question of the form of their
state, and their allegiance.
The resolution adopted by the
meetings further declared that the
Socialists regard the peace program
Of Premier Lloyd George and Presi-
dent Wilson as a sign that even the
enemy nations can be forced by the
laboring classes to modify their i'm
perialistic aims. The resolution i'm
conclusion protested against "the
systematic Misrepresentation Of these
utterances in the entire bourreofSie
press, and we call on the governments
of the central powers to consider
them as an opportunity to OFFER to all
the enemy governments a democratic
peace without anneXations or contri-
buttons"

No Compromise Offered.

No compromise is offered by
the league leaders. 1t is to be
a stand up and knock down
fight, apparently.
The league leaders are not
buying stores, they are starting
them.
The man who feels that he can
pursue friendly course toward
the league leaders, win their
confidence and sell out, is likely
to meet big disappointment.
That is not the plan. The plan
is to start rival stores and drive
the little country merchants out
OF business. The league stores
demand cash. The country
merchant has carried his Gus
toners for thirty, sixty, and
ninety days, and even as long as
six months or nine months.

BRITISH HAVE
WEATHERED A
TRYING MONTH
''We Must Go On Or Go
Under" Accepted AS
,Watchword
GOVERNMENT HAS
CARRIED THE DAY
Lloyd George Threshed Out
Situation With Unions
Freely and Frankly.

London, Jan. 21.-The first month
Of 1918 has been one Of the most
trying Of the whole war for the
British people. Now the nation
seems to have weathered its doubts
and disagreements and accepted the
watchword we must go on or go
UNDER
The labor unions met the demand
upon them for more men in khaki
with critical and doubtful spirit;
they insisted upon knowing the gov
ernment's exact war program and
were inclined to believe that peace
negotiations were possible. These
questions have been threshed out
with the government fully and free
ly with straight talking on both
sides and the government seems to
have carried the day.
This result is due principally to
Premier Lloyd George and it
strengthens his position and author
ity for the time being. The premier's
resourcefulness was never disturbed
by the fusillade of questions from
the laborities, some of them out and
out pacifists, at the Friday confer
ence.
Probably the most effective state
ment Lloyd George made was that
the government was ready to go in
to a peace conference whenever the
Germans showed any disposition to
negotiate on equitable terms.
A general election is expected as
soon as a new register Of voters can
be made eight million new voters,
six million of whom are women, will
go on the rolls under the reform bill
which the house OF lords now is de-
batting. The predictions are that the
next government will be a labor
liberal coalition, with the labor party
holding the largest number of seats
Of any party in the house of COM
mons and the strongest position in
the cabinet.
The labor party's conference at
Nottingham this week, will be one Of
the most important in it's history.
Proposals for a new constitution will
be considered, which will admit all
brain workers to the party's ranks on
an equality with the trade unionists.
This is called the hand and brain"
movement. and the laborites expect
that it will make their organization
the largest and strongest political
body in the kingdom.
