THE LOGICAL PROCEDURE

Members of the Republican county committee Of
Hettinger, county recently instructed their members of
the state committee to work for the inclusion in the
state platform OF q plank urging the stater ownership Of
lands, horses. cattle and machinery, and that such prop
erty be>acquired by the state on the basis Of the values
for the three years before the war.
That proposal may startle some people. but it is entire-
ly consistent with the program Of state ownership to
which the Nonpartisan league stands committed, The
program which was framed by the leaders Of the league,
and which has been endorsed by many Of its members,
calls for the public ownershipAf many lines Of business
House Bill A. which received the general endorsement
Of the league, contained a special provision, whereby the
state was to be permitted to engage in any kind Of bus
tain proposed constitutional amendments which are to
be voted on this fall unless the courts interfere. and the
empowering the state and its subdivisions to
engage in business is repeated. Pending the enactment
of such legislation the league managers have caused to be
started under the guise Of q cooperative movement a
plan for the control Of the mercantile business of the
state under league auspices, and, Of course, If the business
program which is advocated is carried out in legislation
1t will be a simple matter to have the state take over the
various enterprises which have been started or promised
under these auspices, and which include mercantile es-
adjustments. coal mines. lumber yards, creameries, elel
vators, and a number Of others. g., +
Apparently it has not occurred to many farmers who
have been inclined to regard the general league program
with favor that the adoption Of this plan called logically
for the inclusion of the business of farming in those to
be conducted by the state. The Hettinger county people
see the logic of the situation, and, taking the bull by the
horns, come out boldly for the ownership Of farm prop
erty and the operation of farms by the state. "a
If we are to have state-owned everything-else why
not state farms? - ~ r~

denounced in conformity with Articles
104, los and 40 Of the penal code,
2 and 3 Of the decree Of July 20, 1881.
and LIST of the law Of March Is. 1891.
The next day, Feb. s, a counselor
Of Justice. in uniform. alleging that
he was acting in the. name Of the
German governor, general, seized the
memorandum Of this meeting in the
palace, Of Justice in the private Office
OF the procurater general and set at
liberty Borms and Tack, arrested that
same morning BY the presiding justice.
The day after, toward. evening. the
German police arrested at their
homes the Judges. Levy-Morelle, Ja-
mar. Ernst, and Carez, who were in
termed in the camp Of celle ,Schloss
in Germany. Mr.. lamar, because of
the condition of his health, was al
most Immediately given his liberty.
On Feb. 10 the German authority
announced to Athe c%ounselors Of the
court of appeal Of Brussels that in
participating at the meeting Of Feb.
Z they had associated themselves will,
a political manifestation, and that as
a consequence, It. forbade them any
further practice Of their profession.
On Feb. IL, after having listened to
the charge Of the procurator general,
Terlinden, the Court Of Cessation rea
called that the court Of. appeal, sit,
ting in accordance with Article XII
of the law Of April 20, 1910, had con-.
fined itself to charging its procurator
general to pursue as the chief, of con-
stitutional acts Of crims and delin-
q%uencies offenders Of Belgian nation
atty for legal acts still in force Of
which no decree Of the occupying ene-'
my had deprived of its validity; it
declared further that the interference
of the governing authority in Judi
ciary acts to arrest the course Of JUS
tice was mo compatible with the alb
solute independence Of judiciary func-
tons nor with the laws which still
govern them.
It added that above all the arrest
Of Messrs. Levy-Morelle,. Ernst and
Carez. and the suspension OF the.
counselors of the court Of appeal Of
Brussels, for. legally performing their
Of %judicature were in direct
opposition to the fundamental rules
OF the law Of nations and with the
solemn promises made to the court
by theg government Of the occupying

ing the magistrate between his legal
duties on the n hand and measures
Of reprisal on the other they depriv-
ed his decisions Of the authority
which ought to be inherent in 1udg-
ments. +,
The court. Of Cessation announced
- a consequence that without abdi-
eating its functions It. would suspend
On Feb. IL the civil tribunal of the
first instance Of Brussels. considering
especially that according to the con-
stitution and the laws Of the Belgian,
people, the tribunal Of the first in
stance could exercise its functions
regularly and co%njointly with the
court Of appeal of the same city
unanimously decided to suspend its
activity without Indicating functions.
The commercial tribunal Of Brus-
sells declared itself in the same sense
in a general assembly on the 18th Of
February.
Successfully. the judiciary hody of
this whole country adopted the same
line &C conduct.
All the attempts made by the in
tervention of neutral powers to in

Under the ~fdllacious pretext of as
surfing the maintenance Of public or

of Article 43 Of The Hague conven

the governor general in Belgium pub
lished on March 26, 1918, notice

RED CROSS FUNDS

The headlines over a Herald article On Saturday aft
or containing the financial report Of the local Red: Cross
society conveyed the impression that the funds now on
hand would be sufficient to finance the work. Of the So
aety for the entire winter. This is a mistake, as will
readily be understood from a reading Of the article and a
study Of the financial statement accompanying it.
The society had on hand on August 1 a balance Of
. little over $40, 600, which is barely enough with which
to operate for one month on the basis of the ACTIVITIES
Of the past month or two. The accumulation Of even
this. relatively small balance has been possible chiefly
because Of a lessening Of the work performed during the
summer months. This has been caused in part by alb
sences FROM the city, and in part by a variety OF other
conditions which will not exist later on, as the NUMBER Of
workers, the quantity Of work done, and, consequently,
the demand for funds for the purchase of materials must
increase and not diminish.
The United States now has more than a million men
In France. OF that number approximately one-thard
have actually seen service at the front. Before the close
Of the year we will have two million or more men in
France, and of that number not one-fourth, but all of
them, will either be in active service in the very near fu-
ture or will be where they can be called into action on
short notice. And still we will but have made a begin
ming, for as long as the war lasts men will be poured
across the ocean by the hundred Thousand and by the
million. .
There will be constant demands for more and more
Red Cross work. There will be not only the care and
treatment Of the men in the field. but the care Of fam
lilies at home. During the month of July the work Of
civilian relief called for the expenditure of only $685.
by the Grand Forks chapter. At any time that need may
be expanded so as to call for hundreds or thousands Of
dollars. and the society ought to have on hand enough
money to meet these demands as they occur, as we'll as
funds with which to keep up the purchase Of material
for the constantly increasing work in the knitting, sew
ing, surgical dressing and other departments.

facts. When they do understand there will be no lack
Of response. There is everywhere the strong desire to
do whatever is necessary, and one of the things neces-
sary, and which will continue to be necessary for many
months, is the contribution Of money in increasing
amounts for the local work of the Red Cross.

: Ever since the beginning Of the in
vasion the Belgian court, conscious
Of its high social mission and of the

ceased to render Justice with COM
plete independence in spite of the
cupation and the rigorous measures
taken by the German authorities at
the instance of several ofsits MEM
bers. ~
This situation has come to an end.
German jurisdiction has been estab-
lished in Belgium following upon
acts which constitute on the part Of
the occupying authority an interfer-
ence in the exercise Of the judiciary
power, a blow at it's independence,
and~a fragrant disregard of. the pro-
ton signed by Germany.
However, guarantees Of independ-
ence had been solemnly given to the
Belgian court by the chief Of the
German administration, who in a let
ter dated March. ~. 1915, addressed
to the court Of Cessation, in the name
of Governor General Won Kissing,
wrote as follows:
"Any fears which might be enter
tanned in the Belgian court as to the
danger to which it was exposed by
the German administration in regard
to the independence of the judge in

We read, that there is no evidence OF exultation in
Paris over the Allied victories north Of the Marine, but
rather a quiet acceptance of the facts, with cheerfulness,
It Is true. and with confidence, but without excitement.
The impression which was so general, that the
French were a mercurial people reused to the highest
pitch Of citation or plunged into the depths of gloom on
the slightest provocation. has been pretty well disposed
entertained by no person who has followed the events of
the war with a modicum Of intelligence.
France has been put to tests during these four years
such as few Sations have been called on to meet. The IN
vasion and subsection Of their country were the prime OBJ
jects OF the war. Whatever ambitious plans the Ger
mans had with reference to the rest of the world, France
must hrst be subdued, for the dream Of universal
dominion could not be realized with a tree France,stand-
ing in the way. France. therefore, must be destroyed.
The French people understood this, and prepared to meet
the issue. The northern provinces were invaded. The
Hun approached to the very gates Of Paris. The fate Of
the capital hung in the balance. The seat Of government
vas removed. The population began to. move out. The
roads to the south were filed with refugees seeking safety
End shelter for themselves and such of their posses,

fortune would be retrieved tomorrow.
