THE "MuTILATED" SPEECH.

1t was accepted as q matter Of course that a
diplomatic document 50 important TO Germany as
President Wilson's peace terms address 10 congress
would not receive full and accurate publication III
Germany. The koelnische Ieitung furnishes cor
roboration Of that view. explaining that the Ger
man newspapers do not think it worth while 10
publish the complete tex" Of the president s speech.
The Zeitung contents itself with printing only
a few extracts Of the speech in order 10 give It's
readers a sample Of Wilson's illogical and unheard-
of views.
This is a familiar device Of dishonest PARTISAN
ship, whether in politics or war. Even American
readers might look upon many Of the .presldents
war views as illogical and unheard-Ot If the" were
printed only in the form Of short extracts, outside
of their natural setting, without the accompanying
facts and comment that render them logical and
convincing.
Such newspapers as the Berlin Tagelatt, the
Vossiche Zeitung and the Deutsche Tageszeltung
print what they declare to be the full text Of
the presidents "impertinent speech, with the eX-
PLANTATION that it was received i'll a rather mutt
lated form" Casual inspection Of that full text
shows that the president 5 references to the part.

The omissions are easily understood, in the

ment at Washington. Those facts provide detailed
proof Of what we have long known in a general
way-the iron control Of the German press by the
German government. 1t consists Of a set Of instruc-
tons issued to the German newspapers by the CEN
sor at Berlin, telling the editors precisely how they
are expected to suppress and dlst0rt the truth, to
magnify or minimize facts, to ignore domestic trou.

etc.
The humiliation referred to by the papers
mentioned, was done III this case by the helpful
hand OF the German government. In 50 vital a
matter, it docsn' t do to let the biggest editors in
Germany use their own slavish discretion.
SO it happens once more that the only way of
getting into Germany a statement Of incaIculable
value to the German nation is to smuggIe it across
the trenches or drop it over the border from air
planes. That is being done. But it is a slow pro-
cess. And because Of it's slowness, it is still ncces-
sary to continue the crude and distasteful alter
native Of shooting the truth into Germany from gun.

WITH THE EDITORS.
GOING THE LIMIT.

No proposal is too radical for these times. Here
is the Atlanta Constitution demanding the aboli-
ton Of the franking privilege for congressman. Sus,
pend it for the duration Of the war, it urges, and
after the war do not revive it! The ordinary citizen
is paying so per cent more for having his letters
carried, it argues; why should members Of congress
suffer no limitation upon their free use Of the mail
facilities, especially when these are c~ongested as
never before, partly because Of important govern
mcnt correspondence? Next year We shall be in the
throes Of a congressional election, and this means a
flooding of the mail with what is politely termed
literature, B" made up Of speeches, reports, and mis-
cellancous documents, all designed to impress the
voter with the u%nresting activity Of his representa-
tive in every department Of the public service. We
are inclined to think that the Constitution goes a
bit too far in wishing to take away the franking
privilege entirely. Part Of a congressman's duties
is to reply to multitudcs Of letters from his consti-
%tuents, and these may well be carried without cx-
pense to him. But might it not be practicable TO
limit the amount Of postage for which he was not
charged? Or let his frank be restricted to first class
matter and to such public documents as are asked
for by OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES York Post.

OUR STATE CAPITAL.

The Women's Relief corps Of Fargo recently
passed resolutions asking Governor Frazier to take
such steps as necessary to change the name Of our
state capital from Bismarck to some Anglo-S Saxon
name. Such a resolution seems to be the hcighth
of folly to us, and we can hardly see how any body
Of women-say nothing about men, would take such
foolish action. Have people reached that stage Of
Mysteries, that they would not want to see any Of
our cities named after a famous foreign ruler, even
if ne was a ruler OF Germany. America has many
Germans among her most loyal citizens, and when
we become so small that we cannot see any good in
the name Of such a man as Bismarck-even to the
extent that we must not have a city in our land
named after him, we think that we have reached
the limit. America is not fighting the German pco-
pie, but we are fighting the royalty Of Germany,
and the methods that they are pursuing in order
to rule the world. What difference would it make
il we had a city named after villa, y that would
not signify that we believe in the man that the city
was named after.-Deyils Lake World.

YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

Many owners Of liberty bonds are getting uneasy
about them, in view Of their market price fuctua-
tions. They cannot understand why these securl-
ties should drop below par. They begin to won
der whether the bonds are really sound and worth
what they paid for them?
With some people this question is Of little prae-
teal importance. because they have bought the
bonds as a way Of doing their bit i'll the war, and
would have bought them just the same regardless
Of their investment value. Nevertheless. it is i'm
portant that the whole matter should be clearly
understood. in Justice to the bondhoIders who do
care about their value, and IN justice 10 the United
States. which issued those bonds and intends to
issue more.
Why, then, have the liberty bonds dropped from
sly par to $97 or &9o IN the open market Flnan-
cial experts submit these explanations:
First, consider the fact that in the last few
months there has been a tremendous drop i'll the
price Of all kinds Of standard securities. Gllt-edge
corporation and municipal bonds which had a mar
ket value of 800 last January have been selling
lately as low as $50. 1t would have been incom-
prehensible if government bonds had not dropped.
too, il harmony with the general iuctuatlon OF the
investment market. 1t should be observed, however,
that these war bonds have proved their soundness
by depreeiating very much less than any others.
Second, because high grade bonds paving five
or SIX per cent interest were selling SO far below
their real value. there was d natural temptation for
big investors in liberty bonds TO sell them and pick
up attractive bargains III the others. The resultant
- dumping forced down liberty bond prices q little.
Third. there has been considerable pro-Gernan
selling. for the express purpose Of forcing the price
down, and it has had d little effect.
Fourth. merchants and others have made q prac-

STYLE AND STUFF.

The Retail Shoe Dealers association in conven.
ton at Chicago has announced that better shoes
can be bought for 81 and IS than for S25, and that
the very best boots made for women can be pur,
chased for IS and SO.
This is not an admission that in charging from
SO to $13 for "anything you'd look at" the retail
es have been indulging in shameless profiteering.
The shoe dealers go on to say that "style is what
people crave, and they must pay for it,"
The stylish shoes which have been making such
holes in pockctbooks for the past few years are made
OF materials inferior in quality to those which cost
less. They are far less comfortable. Women have
been paying not for worth Of goods or workman
ship, not for comfort or durability, but for that
elusive thing called style. This is not strange. 1t
IS what women always pay for.
1t has always been true of hats. It wasn't the
bit of velvet or the silken flower that cost the money.
The best hat in the world, made of beautiful mate
rlals, velvet or satin so treated as to be practically
Weather.proof, well made flowers, combined by
artists, can hardly be made to cost more than 500
with good profits all along the line. But because
the feather is turned at an angle which will after
ward be reflected by thousands Of other hats, it's
price may run to $3.50 or more.
Hats, fitted to the head and whole personality
OF the Wearer, which will be beautiful two or three
years, can be made for $40 to $12. Gowns of the
best textiles, durable and beautiful for every mo-
ment OF their existence, can be made for $3O-often
Tor less. Shoes OF lines which combine grace with
normal foot-health can be purchased for half the
cost Of the ugly, deforming ones 50 widely seen.
These things are platitudes. Why women pre-
Ter the ugly to the beautiful just because the ugly
may be stylish no stylish woman knows. But artists
know. They call it 1.-THE CORRUPTION OF the human

prices. was s4e.0+4.S4- In 1917 the

in the cost Of all supplies Of s. IL per

legislature but 20 per cent more TO
meet these enhanced burdens.
Without Excuse.
Some of the heaviest increased ex-
penditures al the capitol, itself. how
ever. probably cannot be easily ex-
planned to the average taxpayer.
Money has been spent needlessly and
recklessly by some departments, it is
claimed, and lack Of efficiency and in
experience has cost the taxpayers
thousands of dollars which might, j,
is commended. have been saved ny a
display of ordinary business sense and
responsibility.
Governor Frazier has sad nothing
Of these increased burdens which his
administration has laid upon the farm
er. He las made much adoo over the
need Of the farmer for financial assist
ance, and to give that assistance he
has called a special session which
many predict will run at least a month
and take $4,000 or more additional
money out Of the farmers pocket.
Farmers who have applied to Town
ley's land commission for farm loans
have been informed there is no money
for them. In the last two months, z
period when under the Hanna admin
istration farm loans aggregated hun
dredb Of thousands, the Townlcy board
mas loaned to North Dakota farmers
not more than $4,000. Because. it is
alleged. a band of NonpartisaE Grief
tains close to Townley's throne are
profiting from the use of school lands
in Mou2trail county, sales ordered
there months ago have not been made,
and the farmer who has made 1pplica-
tons for loans has been deprived of
so much money. A similar condition
