Hon. George NJ. Young has state
ment in this issue of the Times-Rec-
ord, formally announcing his candi-
dacy for reelection. Mr.. Young has
well represented the second district
during his incumbrancy of the office
and we are of the opinion that he will
receive about the largest majority of
any candidate for the office of con-
gresham in any of the three districts
in the state. It is true that Mr..
Young is to have opposition at the
primaries in the person of Mr.. Han
chett, of Wells county, nominated by
the Lincoln republicans, but there is
not the slightest chance for that gen.
tleman to beat Mr.. Young. There
may be some things done by our con-
gresham that may not suit every
body, but who is there in public or
private life that can please everybody.
He has been hard working congress-
man, always working for the best in
terests of the district and the peo-
pie, and as we look out Of the Office
window and cast our eyes on that
handsome postofiice building secured
for US by Mr.. Young it is mighty hard
for US to see how we could do other
wise than support him. The second
great reason why we are supporting
Mr.. Young for a reelection is that
he is a Barnes county citizen, has done
much toward building up our city, and
his interests are right here. We ap-
prove of majority of the Minot
ticket, but we are going to stand by
our congressman in this campaign.

The Fargo War Council asked the
state council of defence to withdraw
a speaker from the state, one Leo
Horst, who has been convicted of Sc
ditious utterances. The state council,
headed by his excellency the COVER
nor, wants the Fargo War, Council to
present proof in his Office at Bismarck
on May goth that this young man is
guilty of seditious utterings, etc. 1t
would be the same as going to law
with the devil and holding the court
in hell. Knowing the Fargo War
Council as we'll as we do we venture
the suggestion that they will be there

President Wilson has shown COM
mendable non-partisanship in the ap-
pointment of Charles E. Hughes to
look into the airplane probe to see if
there has been something criminal 60
ing on in that department. That Mr..
Hughes is a man who will go to the
bottom of the affair without using any
whitewash goes without saying and
the president has shown that he wants
this matter sifted out, and rightly, no
matter who it is going to hit. The
public has heard so much of this al
legged airplane graft and scandal that
it is about time to sift it out and place
the responsibility just where it be-
longs. It looks as if the President
felt that way too, or he would not
have selected an opponent to go into
the probe.

THRIFT STAMP
SALE DRIVE

Secretary Of the treasury McAdoo
head of the war savings and other
movements for financing the war, has
designed Friday, June %, as national
War Savings day. While many of the
states have done we'll in the Wal
Savings movement, most of then
have failed to a certain extent, main
ly through lack of coordinated ano
comprehensive organization to com.
plete the desired quota. In compliance
with the telegraphic direction of sec
rotary McAdoo, George H. Hollister
War Savings director for North Oak
ota has issued orders for all county
directors to call meetings at every
school house in their county at 8 P
NJ, June %, for the purpose of sec
uring pledges from everyone in the
district to buy minimum number OF
War Savings stamps each month fol-
the balance of the year. Similar meet
ings will be held in every town anc
city in the State.
The quota of stamps for NORTH
Dakota to sell has been fixed by the
National authorities at $4,000, 900
or $50 per capita based on population
of 100000. This will require pledges
of 100000 per month for the re-
mainder Of 1918.
The pledges of each district will
be left in the hands of a represent.
ative known as a War Savings Mon.
itor, making about 1000 monitors il
the State. Their work will be to check
up all pledges during the year and te
see that these are paid regularly, as
well as to secure new pledges from
persons not reached by the drive.
Every adult person will be expected
to buy at least one 500 stamp a month
and those able will be expected to
take amount up to the $1,000 limit
Through such a drive as this Ne
braska astonished the country by Sec
uring its large quota in one day, and
with this splendid example before
them, and with the experience gained
in Nebraska as to the methods, all
the States in the Union, which have
not already attained their quota by
then, will try a great cleanup" June
18th.
10 get this movement under way
State Director HOLSTER will hold dis
trict meeting at the following boiars:
Grand Forks, Tuesday, May 81;
Minot, Wednesday, May %; Bismark,
Friday, May "a; Fargo, Tuesday, May
%. Directors of counties Contiguous
to these points. and others interested,
will attend these meetings.
Since December goth, when the
work began, every county in the
State has been organized for the War
Savings movement, and since that
time good work has been done in ex-
planning in various ways what the
stamps are, arranging sales and
agencies, and organizing clubs. While
the success attained has been crafty
ing and each month ras shown a
steady increase in sample sales, the
latter are far below what lust be
done if the states quota is to be any
way near reached.
The State committee says the thrift
idea has taken a great hold upon the
people, but that to much stress has
heretofore been placed on thrift
stamps and not enough on the need
and the benefit to the Individual and
the government of a Sustained pur-
chase of the $500 stamps, and it is to
gain universal pledges for purchase
of the larger denomination by adult
that this drive is to be put on.

Leal, N. D.

The Times-Record has received the
above letter and were it not for the
fact that the writer accuses US of
supporting kaiserism we would pay no
attention to it. Mr.. Fritch has per-
feet right to discontinue taking this
paper if he wants to, but he is either
strongly pro-German or else he cannot
read the English language when he
accuses US of doing anything detri-
mental to the best interests Of the
state or of trying to win this war. If
any paper has done more towards
winning this war than the Times-Rec-
ord, or if any man is doing more per-
sonally than its editor, according to
the means he has, he does not live in
this or any other state. Our columns
are filled every day with free adver-
Using for every branch of the govern
ment service and personally the edi-
tor is perhaps little too rab;d on his
war question if he is either way and
he does not have to hide behind any
body's skirts to let them know where
he is at. We stand first, last and all
the time for winning this fight until
Kaiser Wilhelm is beaten to his knees
crying for mercy along with the Ter
rible Turk and any other of the like
ilk. It rather seems to US that Mr..
Fritch is trying to hit US over the
shoulders of the league rather than
anything else, and in this connection
does he think that any American cit
izen should sand up and supper men
whose leaders have been fighting the
Government at avarv fn7.Y, and who oro
being arrested daily for sedition. Mr.
Fritch is taking a most impossible
stand and we are inclined to think
when he gets cooled down a little he
will be sorry he wrote such foolish
and nonsensical letter. If he comes
at US on our attitude to the league
leaders we would have paid no atten-
ton to his letter but when he accuses
us of kaiserism he is going too far
and we shall take pleasure in telling
him personally if he has the nerve to
come in and tell US to our face.

We were put into troop trains and
sent to Southampton, where we de-
trained, and had our trench rifles is

we went up the gangplank Of a little

was an old sergeant, who directed that

these. On the side of each car was
a sign reading "Hommes 40, Cheveaux
g." When we got inside of the cars,
we thought that perhaps the sign
painter had reversed the order Of
things. After 48 hours in these trucks
we detrained at Rouen. At this place
we went through an intensive training
for ten days.
The training consisted Of the rudi-

Fifty Women Attacked Bara boo Saloons With Hatches
in 1854---Cases Afte wards Are Dropped

Aggression. directed against the
liquor interests of Wisconsin began
soon after the state was admitted to
the Union. One of the earliest drives
made against the saloon forces was
that conducted by the temperance
women of Baraboo during the early
spring of 1854. According to report
found in one of the volumes of an old
Sank county history now in the Ii
brary of the State Historical society
in Madison, the sale of liquor in Bara-
boo had become so heavy as to cause
the women to take drastic action.
Early one morning a crowd of fifty or
more women appeared on the streets
armed with axes, hatchets, spades,
hoes, and clubs, and made a drive
upon one. saloon, destroying all the
whiskey barrels, beer kegs, bottles,
and all the liquor in the house. The
crowd then marched to a grocery store
