CITIZENS FIX ROADS

Last Monday a number OF Newport
ers came up to fix the bad hole in the
road just west of town. so they could
get into the county seat. This road
was all but impossible and has been
that way for the past several months.
A bunch OF Toledoites went down and
helped on the job and after a days
hard work had this hole planked in
good shape. The road from Toledo to
Newport is now in pretty good shape,
but the road from here to Siletz is
something fierce"

Bishop Cooke
Sunday Speaker

Bishop Richard J. Cooke of Helena,
Mont, compared German conception
of a state with that Of the American
conception, in an address at the First
Methodist church Sunday evening,
made in connection with the Wesley
college endowment fund.
The address was one of IS which
Bishop Cooke will deliver in North
Dakota. Sunday morning he spoke
at the Methodist church in Valley
City: this afternoon he speaks at
Lisbon. and tonight at Cakes. Tues
day night he will be at Wahpeton.
THE state cannot be built safely
upon power alone, nor upon intel
lect,' said Bishop Cooke Sunday
evening. and he pictured the neces-
sity of moral standard in the state
as is necessary in the individual. He
declared that the church, with it's
Christian ideals. is the foundation
for a great state by creating the re-
ligious atmosphere to supply the
moral ideals. as we'll as the intellect.
The topic of the address by Bishop
r. J. Cooke was The Why of a.
Christian College,"
Present at the meeting were DR..
Hanscher and Dr. Howarth, mem
bers Of the board Of education Of
the Methodist church Of New York

Bishop Speaks
For Red Cross

Sunday, at 400 p. M, Bishop
O'Reilly conferred the sacrament OF
confirmation on 20 children and Ia
adults at st. Mary's cathedral. At
ter confirmation. in the course Of his
sermon, the bishop reminded the
large congregation which filed the
cathedral that this was their land,
that they were protected by it's laws
and that they owed to it whatever
they had. even their lives.
II need not remind you OF the work
done by the knights of Columbus
and the Red Cross. need not tell
you that these organizations have
proved themselves worthy Of the con-
fidence placed in them by the Amer
lean people. During the coming
week the Red Cross will appeal to
your generosity and in view Of this
appeal l would beg to remind you
that whatever you may be able to
give is a good investment. This great
organization has saved lives without
number, has mended an untold num-
Der of broken bodies and fed hun
dreds of thousands of hungry and
homeless men, women and children.
II we are able to give generously we
should rejoice, and however large the
sum may be it will be small when
measured by what thousands of our
best are giving and about to give
that this world may be fit place for
free men to live in.

.LOYAL[STS BAR
RANDALL TOUR
BY CALLING ON
LEAGUE OFFICER
Real Story of How Con-
victed Man Was Taken
Off the Platform

That Fargo Ioyalists were not
alone in the demand that N. s. Ran
dali, the convicted Nonpartisan
league agitator, should not be per
mitted to make a tour Of North Da-
kota, ito carry the truth to the peo-
pie" as announced by The North Da-
kota Leader, official organ OF the
Nonpartsan league, is evidenced by
the story coming from Langdonr
Cavalier county, in which county
Randall was billed.
The Cavalier Defense society, II
appears, took an active hand in the
situation, long before Governor
Frazier wrote a letter to the Fargo
War Organization, saying that Ran
dali would not speak in the state
and it was because Of the direct &C
ton taken by the Cavalier organiza-
ton, that Randall failed to fill his
date at Sarles last Monday evening"
and his subsequent dates.
Stair the Substitute.
Another interesting feature in
connection with the Randall incident
league speakers bureau put l.. l..
Stair, Of Bottineau county, on the
tour when Randall was barred. Stair
is the Nonpartisan who was a can
didate for United States marshal
against S. J. Doyle. and failed to
land
The Cavalier County Republican,
published at Langdon, details the &C
ton taken by the loyalists Of Caval-
Ter county against Randall. as fol-
lows:
Promise Broken.
Last winter, when q protest was
filed on account Of Mr.. Blair being
dated to speak In Langdon, the~local
Defense society was positively and
unqualifiedly promised by Mr.
Moore, the manager Of the league
speakers, that no person, whose 10y
atty was at all questionable. would
be sent to this county.
"Only a few days ago Mr.. Ran
dali was convicted in Minnesota af-
ter a trial that lasted several days.
He was sentenced to g. term Of four
months in the county jail, and to pay
fine Of $3.50. At present he is on
a stay sentence, presumably pend
ing an appeal. This action on the
part of MI Moore is an unqualified
failure to keep his promise. His at
tention was called to this by Sec
rotary Fletcher, and prominent
league officials were appealed to by
Attorney Crimson to stop such dis
graceful proceedings. 1t was finally
arranged to have a substitute sent
out in Randau's place.
The Governors Attitude.
1.-THE same condition obtains else
where in the state, as Horst, anoth-
err fellow charged with disloyalty, is
also out filling speaking dates. A
petition has been forwarded to Bis
marck to the governor to use his in
fluence to have Horst dropped from
the speakers list but to date Gov
ernor Frazier has made no state
ment as to whether he intends to act
or not, or whether he would as soon
have disloyalists parade their disloy-
atty over the state. Such a condi-
ton is deplorable, for we do not
know Of another organization that
would want the public to know that
they harbored such sCoundrels, much
less send them out as representa-
tives.
IF this combination of circum-
stances is not sufficient to give the
lie to the leaders and organizers
claim Of loyalty, we do not know
what is required, and no loyal citi-
zen need entertain shadow Of
