President and Congress of the United
States to maintain absolute neutrality,
with neither favor nor prejudice to-
ward any of the unfortunate belli-
gerent nations.
Mr.. Walton was a Non partisan
League member of the House. The
League controlled the North Dakota
House and that House PASSED THIS
RESOLUTION. The Senate not be-
ing under the Townley thumb sent
this craven resolution to a committee
which promptly killed it and saved
the honor of North Dakota. But WAL
ton and his co-laborers apparently
bent on besmirching the patriotism of
their state sent copy Of the docu-
ment to Senator Gronna who obedient-
ly read it into the record of the Unit
ed States Senate.
Mr.. Townley and the league man.
ayers tell Minnesota voters to see
what the league accomplished" in
North Dakota. This is one of it's &C.
complishments-a servile prostration
at the feet of the German kaiser and
a humble addiction of Americas
rights.
Individuals are judged not by what
they profess but by what they have
done. And the loyal voters of Min
nesota will judge Lindbergh, Townley
and the rest not by their prefervid
protestations of loyalty at the elev-
enth hour but by the long record
which begins with the humilating ac-
ton recorded above.-St. Paul Dis
patch.

SAVED BY a. CENTS

Zone letter read in court disclosed
the fact that the l. W. w. last July
negotiated with the Nonpartisan
league of North Dakota for wage
scale agreement. The league offer
ed to pay the workers $4.56 day, but
the proposition was finally rejected
because the l. w. w. demanded $500
a day as minimum wage."-From
an Associated Press dispatch which
The Sourier-News did not publish.
Any Nonpartisan league member
who tries to follow the trail of the
present officers Of the organization,
will make some strange bedfellows.
Here is the evidence Of an attempt
to tie up the league to the I. w. w. It
was vehemently denied, at the time,
that the agricultural workers union
had any connection with the l. WV,
but here is the proof. And it wasn't
the league leaders who rejected the
terms, but the I. w. w. Later Mr..
Townley arranged it so that the men,
bers appeared to vote down the agree
ment. But only A cents day pre-
vented the Nonpartisan league lead
ers making working agreement
with the tribe of Haywood, the barn
burners and thresher wreckers of the
Red Brotherhood.

forward with a satisfactory explana
ton of the dual abandonment of the
great emancipation and the grand old
party implied in altering the organi-
cations label-Courier-News.
And by the same token the Courier
News nor any other non-partisan pa
per has up to this time come forward
with any apology to the people for
the socialistic and I. w. WIS swiping
the grand old party under the gu;se
of republicanism. The only reason
the N. P. L. candidates run on the re-
publican ticket is because they cannot
be elected on any other-that is why
they are urging democrats to file as
republicans. The people of the state
have been betrayed by a bunch of
itinerant socialists who have been
bucking the United States war policy
and Red Cross work until public SEN
timent got too hot for them and now
they have camoufaged their position
by pretending to be loyal-the leaders
we are talking about. The Courier
News nor any other league paper has
anythingto say about others, we think.

USE COTTAGE CHEESE

To encourage the use, as we'll as
the making of cottage cheese-a
cheap and palatable substitute for
meat-the United States Department
of Agriculture has launched a cam
paign in which nearly hundred field
workers will take part and which is
to carry to every state in the Union
this lesson:
Cottage cheese is made from skim
milk-now largely wasted or fed to
animals. A pound of cottage cheese
has the same food value as a pound
of meat. Make cottage cheese, and
thus put to valuable use wasted skim
milk. Eat cottage cheese; save the
meat for our soldiers and the allies.
Three of the big divisions of the
Department of Agriculture are work
ing in the campaign, which also has
the cooperation of the United States
Food Administration.

SPADES ARE TRUMP

Every stamp on the top of spade
is Thrift Stamp!
Fork over the earth and we'll never
fork over to the kaiser.
Dig in and dig. For every ton of
dirt you turn over, the boys in Europe
turn over Teu-tons!
Turn the tables of the nation into
fortresses of food economy and turn
the tables on the Hun.
Mr.. Business Man, don't furrow
your brow with golf-furrow the soil
with garden implements.
Do it-sow, SOW! But don't do it
$3.50!
Plant vegetables now and we'll
plant the Kaiser later. Till! Till!
Till til every inch of ground available
is titled! Kill German militarism
with American tillarism.
Potatoes SOWED, the price of
spuds be DARNED! Go the limit,
there is none!
Plant peppers it hot for Won
Mackensen. Raise melons and Won
Tirpitz, the dog, will grow melon-col-
lie.
Spades are trumps! With the
royal flush Of dawn, shuttle out and
deal the dirty boche another blow
with the hoe.
Bumper crops for us and crop of
bumps for the kaiser. Here's the way
we'll laugh at the Hun-hoe, hoe, hoe!

Two thirds of the republican sena-
tors in the United States senate and
only half the democratic senators are
reported lined up to support the wom-
an suffrage amendment to the nation
al constitution. The women lack just
a few votes to put it over and claim
that it is up to the democrats to see
that it passes and the responsibility
for either the defeat or passage Of the
amendment will be placed squarely
upon democratic shoulders. There
will be no chance to camoufage in this
case. Considering the work being
done by the women of the country we
cannot see why there should be any
hesitation in passing this amendment.

The league papers are nammering
away at the loyalty republican ticket
nominated at Minot and belittling the
gentlemen who have had part in
building that ticket, while the papers
opposed to the league ticket are ham,
mering away at that 1t is up to the
people to decide for themselves next
month which set of men they want
elected. The league ticket is formu-
lated by bunch of socialists that
started out to embarrass the COVER
ment in the prosecution of the war,
rldicule the sale of Liberty Bonds and
Red Cross drives, but now that public
pressure has become so strong against
that sort of attitude they have tenn
porarily changed front and are claim
ing to be loyal. The other contains
the name of men who have always
been loyal, who have not had to get
their ears to the ground to listen for
the popular side, and have backed the
president and the country right from
the jump-men of unquestioned 10y
alty-men who have made North Da-
kota their permanent home, and men
who have not come here with carpet
bags to seek whom they can devour.
If you were going to employ a man
or men to work for you, would you Sc
lect the ones whom you have to hold
a club over to retain his loyalty OF
one whom you know to be loyal to
you and your country right from the
bottom of your heart? A sane man
would take the latter, of course. That
Is the way we size up the political sit.

Hon. W. C. Taylor, former state
commissioner of insurance is now
back at his old task of editing the
LaMoure County Chronicle. In an
editorial in which he commends John
Steen and others nominated along
with him at Minot he makes this ex-
ception in respect to George M.
Young, congressman from this dis
district: "The Chronicle believes that
tactical blunder was made and an
act Of injustice done by the conven-
ton in it's failure to endorse the can
didacy of George M. Young for con-
gresham in the Second district. * * 4
The refusal of the Lincoln Republican
League to endorse Mr.. Young, appar-
emily for no other reason than the fact
that he had been endorsed by the Non
partisan League, was childish"

There are many Misdemeanors 60
ing on in the city that the editor
might write about, no doubt, but one
of them brought to our mind is per-
haps needful of touching up. There
is considerable petty thievery going
on that needs the attention of the au
thorities. We have been Informed
that two bicycles were stolen from
the postoffice by young lads, one of
these bicycles have been recovered
but the other one has not. The boy
stealing the one recovered, be-
cause it is stealing, has been let go
without any punishment, which is
dead wrong, because it not only en-
courages him to do it again, but it
sets mighty bad example to others.
These are things that should be stop
ped. 1t is getting to be fine state
of affairs when you cannot leave a
bicycle or anything else outside your
business place without a risk of get
ting it stolen. We don't aim to say
that Valley City is worse than any
other town Of like size, but there are
bunch of bad boys in this town who
do these things and what they need
is dose of the law and little bit of
Jail experience to teach them a les
son. Only few days ago two very
young boys went up to the editors
home and deliberately loaded up a
section taken out of our heating plant
and were taking it away to sell to junk
dealers but were caught in the act
and they were made to return it. We
give this instance to substantiate the
fact that these things are being done.
Another thing. There are others who
seem to take great delight in going
out to the Chautauqua grounds and
breaking the windows in the build
ings. Scores Of panes Of glass have
been broken by wanton wickedness
and destruction and it is about time
that some way of putting stop to
this should be put in force and an ex-
ample made Of the guilty ones. There
is neither sense or reason in allowing
this wanton destruction of property.
We know that it is hard to detect the
evil doors sometimes, but way can
be had, and at any rate when one is
caught, like the one who stole this
bicycle, don't you think he should
have been made an example of? We
do.

The Times-R Record has been in
formed that the reason small boys
have been busy purloining stuff
around town is because they have
been told to gather up iron, brass, etc.,
and sell it to junk dealers for the pur-
pose Of buying Thrift Stamps, but
this idea put into the minds of the
boys is only calculated to make them
a little too aggressive along these
lines and in many cases causes them
to lay hands on those things they
have no right to. The government
needs every dollar it can raise for this
war and the sale of Thrift Stamps
should be prosecuted vigorously. Par
ents of boys who want to help along
this great cause should instruct the
boys to keep their hands off things
that don't belong to them and if they
see old iron or other property lying
around they should ask the owner if
he wants them to have it. Many boys
don't care what they do but there are
a whole lot of boys who do these
things thoughtlessly.

NORTH DAKOTA'S DISGRACE

The writer has an 18-year-old-son
who, moved by the impulse of his pa
triotism, has gone forth to offer his
l;fe-if need be-to fight for free
dom and democracy.
This week we have received no.
tice from the Nonpartisan league ac-
companied by request for it's publ
cation to let the people of this vicin-
lty know that the socialist, Fred Ar
CAST, Governor Frazier and N. S. Ran
dali, Nonpartisan league emissary
convicted for sedition, will speak to
the people of Napoleon. Their pro-
posal to visit Napoleon is not only
parading an insult to our patriotic
people, but their request that the writ
er attempt to further their cause is
dastardly insult to US. The writer
refuses to render any aid or comfort
to the so-called "Hunpartisan" league
or any other like agency which is
contributed to build up class hatred
and dissention among our people at
a time when there should be but one
party-the American-an all Amer
lean league, or at any other time.
During the period of the war we
will try to be as much of a man as
our boy and refuse to give aid or COM
fort to such detestable organiza-
ton as the "Hunpartisan" league or
any of it's allies.
The man who wears a "we'll stick,
we'll VIM button with all it's tinge of
disloyalty and stencil, offers insult to
the flag and every loyal citizen he
meets, if he is fully acquainted with
all that it represents.
If the entire membership of the U.
S. Loyalty league is sincere there
won't be much left of the Nonpartisan
league after the coming primary elec-
ton, as we believe the matter of SIG
and the privilege of putting Townley
and his dupes back into power will not
stand in the way of expressing at the
polls their stand for men whose loy-
atty has not-and never will be ques-
toned
Now pait for the howl of the CO.

money for the advertising space we
may have to sell, but please note that
at the head Of one of our columns we
have an inscription which states that
this paper has enlisted with America
for the period of the war. That in

Louisiana is the first state to reject

Eleven states have so far voted on the
matter ten of them ratifying the pro-

one to vote against. They will get the

Of heart, so far as the editor is con-

very plain that he will not stand for
the disloyalty that has been 50 cc-.l-

the bunch until such time as the

LEAGUE LOYALTY-ANCIENT
HISTORY %

On the evening of January 81.
1917, the German announcement of
ruthless submarine warfare was
handed to the American ambassa-
dor at Berlin. It denied to American
citizens their right to use the free
highways of the ocean, and was
promptly and naturally regarded in
this country as declaration of war
a challenge which the American gov
eminent took up in the following
April.
On February II, 1917, a little
more than two weeks after Germany
instituted her unrestricted submarine
campaign, Representative Anthony
Walton introduced resolution on the
subject in the North Dakota House,
extracts from which follows:
Whereas, there is danger that the
American nation in spite of the neu-
trality of its people, is about to be-
come involved in the European war
of human slaughter; r<
AND whereas it has become appar-
ent that there is some invisible force
carrying on a press propaganda to
involve this nation in the European
conflict;
AND whereas it, is apparent that
the munition, armor and steel plants
and their allied interests would be
the gamers in such conflict;
AND whereas it is generally be-
lieved that the munition, armor and
steel plants are the parties respon-
sible for this propaganda;
Now therefore be it resolved by the
House of Representatives of the Leg
islative Assembly of the State of
North Dakota, the Senate concurring
therein, that we respectfully petition
the President and Congress of the
United States to do everything in
their power that can honorably be
done to avoid this nation being drawn
into the European conflict of destruc-
ton.
AND we respectfully petition the
