there will be vacant chairs at the

the total, and with those in other

aWHoM THE GODS WOULD DE
STROY-"

Possibly the shrewd. self seeking
men who control the destinies of the
National Nonpartisan league. are
chnckling to themselves at the ease
with which they have kicked aside
the constitution of North Dakota.
Undoubtedly they consider they
have achieved a. political coup in
having the state canvassing board
declare the constitution amendments
passed in open violation of the con
stitution itself.
There can be no doubt but that
they calmly counted the cost and de-
cided they were strongly enough en-
trenched in North Dakota to flout
the constitution, and to strangle de-
liberateIy the rights of the minority.
Germany's junkers made the same
mistake when they turned the Bel
giaf treaty into a scrap of paper.
But Germany overlooked the fact
that minority plus a just cause will
ultimately make a majority.
Certainly the action of the Social
lists who dictate the leagues policies
should have the same effect in this
state
The case is too bare-faced and too
bragen to permit OF argument or de-
Tense. The constitution very plain
~ provides that a majority Of the
votes cast at the election was need
ed TO pass the amendments. The
amendments lacked that, although
on the on the amendments alone.
they had a majority Of the votes
cast on the amendments alone,
ger of the amendments failing to
carry because of this very provision.
They openly warned their support
ers of this danger before the election,
vet no sooner was the result known
than they deliberately misused their
carried. The members Of the state
CONTRASTING board, who voted for
but the measure of consure that
would be visited on any puppets. Pity
and contempt, rather than censure
should be their portion. The few
must shoulder the real blame.
Minnesota had an almost identical
situation in its wet and dry amend
ment, but Minnesota has not slipped
far enough along the road to Bolshe-
vism to suffer from any outrage on
justice and fair play as did North
Dakota. The dry amendment had
a majority of the votes cast on this
measure, but lacked but few hun
dred votes of majority Of all the
votes cast at the election. Despite
the fact that the canvassing board
was controlled by the "drys," they
made no attempt to override the
constitution.
To the minority who opposed the
amendments in this state, the ac-
ton of the state canvassing board is
an insult and an injury which can
not and should not be forgiven or
forgotten,
To the majority who voted for the
amendments, the action of the board
should bring an awakening. They
should realize before It is too late,
the lengths to which the men they
have elevated to power will go in
the misuse of that power. Poor
craftsmanship is the least charge
that can be brought against the men
responsible for the outrage. Like
the Hun they don't fight fairly. Like
the Hun they consider that victory
justifies any means used to achieve
1T. But If the sense of fair play and
the respect for law and order are as
strong in North Dakota as The For
urn believes they are, the day of
reckoning will be as inevitable as it
was for the Hun.

St. Paul, May 1.-Adjutant Gen

under the selective draft law.
Identical instructions were sent to
every adjutant general in the coun-
try, dispatches from various cities In

This order was interpreted by Min
neapolis draft officials to herald an
unparalleled induction of men into the
army, perhaps a call for all available
men in Glass /. This opinion was
foreshadowed in Secretary Bakers
weekly war review. which declared
that the great battle now raging on
the western front had resolved itself
ino a question of man power and that
II was the imperative duty of Am
erica to furnish the Allied reserve.
Every Minneapolis draft board is
busy compiling lists of men available
for immediate service.
Dispatches from Washington said
there were indications that efforts
will be made to add 100000 to the
army at the earliest possible time
supplementing the 100000 already
with the colors and 100000 previous
