The declaration Of certain Fargo

that they will urge the passage of a
bill permitting cities to own, electric

tardy-the law in question was en-
acted in 1913, introduced by l. l.

Of the assembly, and now candi-
date for reelection.
Subdivision Is Of section $3.50 Of
Compiled Laws Of North Dakota of
1913; General Powers Of city coun-
Gil. reads as follows:
70. To purchase, erect, lease,
manage and maintain any system or
part Of system Of water works,
street sprinklers, hydrants and sup
ply Of water, fire and police signals,
telephones and telephone lines, fire
apparatus that may be Of use in the
prevention and extinguishment of
fires, electric light and power plants
or gas works, and to supply the same
for municipal anl commercial pur-
poses, and to pass all ordinances,
penal or otherwise, that shall be
necessary, for the Cull bISotection,
maintenance, management and con-
troll Of the property so leased, pur-
chased or erected.
While this subdivision as above
amended is a part Of the section de-
filming the powers Of city councils; !;
under the following provision Of the
law creating the commission form of
city government, being section 1884
Of the Compiled Laws Of 1918, enact
ed originally as section 81 Of chap

said We must throw off every petty

language so used by the said J. H.
Bender" was understood "as mean
ing that men. and especially the said
Carl Collins should not enlist in the
United States army or navy and
taught and advocated that men
should not enlist in the military and
naval forces of the United States"
The arrest is made under the state
law, and the offense is defined as a
gross nnisdemeanor"
Mr.. Bender was arraigned before
Judge Haagenson in the municipal
court and waived examination. He
was bound over to the district court,
bail being fixed at $1,000. and the
trial will take place in November.
The statements were made months
ago and Mr.. Collins made complaint
at the time, but the matter was not
taken up Immediately.
While the arrest could have been
made months ago, 1t has been defer
red until after election, and thus can
not be laid to any desire to injure
the Nonpartisan league.

Fergus Falls, MINI, June 22.-
Julius H. Bender, who has been doing
organization work for the Nonpar
tisan league, was arrested yesterday
on the charge Of discouraging enlist
ments. The complaining witness is
Carl Collins now serving in the

the arrest Is made were made some
time ago in the presence Of Mr.. Col
Inns and his father. City Clerk H. J.
Collins. The complaint is sworn to
by Allen H. Johnson. chief Of police.
Mr.. Bender is charged with having
made such statements as:
you are foolish to enlist"
This government has no right to
draft anybody in the army"
They have no right to send even
the regular army or national guard to

Kensai, N. D., June 22.-Bringing
their biggest guns to Kensal in an
effort to offset the terrific damage
done by the DETECTION of The Ken
sal Progress from the league to the
independent ranks, the Nonpartisan
chiefs were unsuccessful last night
in stopping the trend of voters from
the banner of Socialism to that OF
the John Steen ticket.
Fully 10000 people attended q
meeting addressed by Governor Fra
zier and C. w. Mcdonald, local can
didate Of the league for the legisla-
ture.
When Frazier completed his ad-
dress. he was asked numerous ques-
tions that he failed to give direct
answers to.
Not more than a tenth Of that
crowd was with Frazier said w. T.
Wasson, editor Of The Kensal Prog
ress, this morning. There was little
enthusiasm, and after the meeting,
groups Of farmers gathered about the
town, discussing the situation. When
Mcdonald essayed to defend the
league against criticism from far
mers, he was challenged by August
Hegbar, a well known farmer of this
district, who so successfully met the
arguments advanced by the league
candidate, that Mcdonald was COM
PEELED to abandon the argument and
retire.
Today it is estimated that not more
than % per cent of the members Of
the league in this district will stand
for the league ticket. They are thor
oughly disgusted, they say, with the
Socialism Of its leaders. and are
through.

German Editor Deblores the
Complete Breakdown of Morals
OF Young People of the Country

Amsterdam, June 22.-The German
quarterly. church review, the first
section Of which Is published by the
Protestant Kreuz Zeitung OF Berlin,
seems likely to make unpleasant
reading for Emperor William in view
Of his frequent utterances in praise
Of the piety and high morality Of the
German people.
The review declares that the task
Of the church has become immeas-
urably harder, Because Of the utter
lack Of discipline and religious
feeling among the people. Our
youth, with their easily gotten money
in their pocket, swollen with sinful
pride" it continues, are entirely
contemptuous of restraint and con-
tinence. Confusion reigns in mum
berless OF the administrative govern
ment departments as to what is
right and wrong. The highest law
seems to be profiteering and amuse-
ment".
Lamenting the Iaxity of present
day German morals, review grave
ly discusses the proposal emana-
ing from Cologne to legalizs bigamy
which proposition the document
takes quite seriously. This attitude
is interesting because it is recalled
that the proposal at the time it was
made was represented by eminent
Germans as a mere freak unworthy
Of serious notice.
The review which throughout Is
coached in the most pessimistio tone.
expresses the fear OF irreparabIe
damage to the existing evangelical
state church unless 1t succeeds in
overcoming the indifference OF the
people to religion.
