TWenty-One

BY George e. Bowen Of The VieiIantas.
When youth is turning twenty"one
And boyhood drops the toys it knew,
When there's sharp drilling to be done
To hasten victory Ger the Hun
America will find him true
Her manly PRIDE her loyal son. -. &c.,.
Fear are the dreams youth leaves behind
For life begins at twenty -one.
But there is honor's badge to find,
With courage Of our fathers kind.
But there's a behind the gun w.. g.. r.
A million more beside him lined.
If It may be brave France shall keep
Our hope gone forth at twenty-one,
God knows tho first cur hearts must weep,
France will walk proudly where they sleep.
So shall their triumph, nobly won,
Live on better world to keep.
Yet on some glad, victorious day,
When right has crushed the mighty Hun,
They will return-aIl those who may
Love crowned, anointed Of the fray
Their costly right to manhood won
AS we had wished in honor's Way.
No vain regret has twenty-one.
Its glad, prophetic day is here.
Itfe's great adventure has begun,
no clouds obscure ambitions SUN.
March on! o faith without a Tear,
New worlds axe wrought GO twenty one.

WE SEEK INFORMATION.

Breathless and agitated after reading
that the popular indoor sport OF applying
the opprobrious title Of "pro-G German" is to
be abolished by order Of the state council
of defense, we rush to that palladium for
information.
Is it permissible, in the heat Of vitupera-
ton to resort to the use Of the word "Hun" -
in place Of "pro-German" or is this acme
Of titles Of disrespect barred in the
clinches by the new rules3
Also is it permissible, in tight verbal
passage at arms, to stick out ones tongue
at an opponent without special permit
bearing the John Hancock of Thomas
Allan Box?
And now if they go a step farther and
forbid any reference to "kept press - and
"Big Biz" as being calculated to arouse
dissension, Mr.. Townley's sweet smelling
organs of the uplift will fade to a pale
pink shadow of their former yellow selves.
We are distressed. Life is losing its
zip.

WHY NOT FARMsq

: And if elevators, why not the farms
also?
Couldn't a great saving in overhead
be effected if the farms Of the state were
"seized" by the council Of defense, and
operated by township units9 Appoint one
farm manager for 9 township, pay the farm
owner per cent interest on the actual
physical value Of his property, allowing
nothing for sentimental value or for the
advantage Of location, and turn the saw
ing over to the consumers Of bread.
Why stop half way toward the Socialist
goal2 .....-

ELEVATORS AND THEN wHAT2

Just how far the state council OF de-
tense will get with it's elevator-seizing en-
terprise, will be interesting to watch.
I 1t is not quite clear from the resolution,
just how the council s newly formed cor
poration will proceed. In case an elevator
owner objects to having his property con-
fiscated what will be the procedure? Will
the home guards be called upon to enforce
the order and forcibly eject the owners?
The situation is likely to reach the
courts on an appeal for restraining or
der, within very few weeks, if the coun-
Gil pushes the project.
It is interesting to note that the council
proposes to pay only the "actual physical
valuation" for the property. Such assets
as good will and established business
reputation apparently, have no place in
the scheme.
Extend this line of reasoning to other
businesses. Suppose the council decided
to "seize" the retail stores, or the BANKS
or the newspapers Of the state, and pay
just a physical valuation. What mer-
chant doesn t consider his good will very
real asset? What newspaper doesn't con-
slider it's circulation and good will a very
real asset? What bank doesn't consider a
satisfied clientele very real asset?
One aspect Of the situation is very clear,
however The Nonpartisan league does not
need to wait for the legislature to begin
its sessions to put it's program into effect.
The council Of defense appears to be con-
tinuous legislature Of Is men with all
powers not withheld by the constitution.
Now, if the constitution were out Of the
way, the sky would be the limit indeed,
and these Is men would have absolute
power over the property and even the per-
sonal liberty of the citizens Of the state.
Perhaps this little taste Of the socialistic
program of the league will be very
healthy warning and jolt the voters Of the
state into realization of their danger be-
fore the fall election. If it doesn't, our
North Dakota soviet will swing into real
action after November.

ONE STEP CLOSER.

If it comes to choice between grain for
beer and grain for food, there can be but
one course to follow.
IF it comes to choice between coal to
run breweries and coal to keep people from
freezing to death, there can be but one
course to follow.
Apparently national prohibition is
brought one step closer by the coal and
grain scarcity. .a.
The recent order of Fuel Administrator
Garfield means the early closing of the
breweries. With the remaining supply of
spirituous liquors rapidly dwindling to the
vanishing point, and the closing of the
breweries imminent, the day when national
prohibition will be an established fact, is
not far away, whether the constitutional
amendment is adopted or not

The La Moure County Chronicle, in the cours
Of very fair and able editorial on the recen
election, has this comment:
Having won 80 great victory, the MEM
bers OF the Nonpartisan league can now we'll
afford to be not only just but generous to-
ward their adYersaries. The Chronicle hon.
estly and devoutly believes that all Of the
discord, distrust and mutual i'll feeling which
has obtained would soon be swept away If
throughout our state the business man and
the farmer would make a genuine effort to
get the other fellows viewpoint. The farmer
must realize, II he stops to think that the
business wants him to be prosperous
and successful for the very simple If selfish
reason that his own prosperity and success
are dependent upon the measure Of prosper
ity and success which accrues to the farmer.
Each is a producer in his own wy. The
farmer produces food let us say and the
business or professional man produces serv-
ice; and each is necessary to the other.
There is mutually and not conflict of in
terests'.

MEETING OF ALL CRAFTS

a meeting Of all crafts Of the B. 4
/ O. shop was held last Wednesday at
Federation hall. The members Of the
different crafts are taking a great
deal of interest in these meetings
which are held frequently for the pur-
pose of discussing the essential prob
lens with which they and their Of
ficers are confronted at this time
The large hall was packed, due to
the fact that Bro. j. P. Wolfe, presi-
dent of the federation, had just re-
turned from Washington, d. c., ac-
companied by c.. N. Fullerton, presi-
dent Of District No 20, with whom,
together with some Of the grand
lodge officers, he had been in confer
ence on matters pertaining to the
piece work proposition.
Bro. Wolfe called the meeting tc
order and introduced Bro. Fullerton
who made an eloquent address in
which he complimented the brothers
of Newark for the stand taken to
knock out the Objectionable piece
work system, stating that all the
men on the b. & O. system We're
pleased to hear Of their action. He
asked the men to make every effort
to maintain production in the shops,
so that the Government will not be
hampered or the progress retarded
by a less production on the railroad
by the elimination Of the despised
.piece-work system. He called our at
tention to the obligation we all take
to discourage the introduction and
continuance Of piece-Work, and spoke
of the quarreling, quibbling and dis
content that goes with it. He further
stated that the Grand Lodge officers
were much pleased with the clever
manner in which the Newark boys
handled the situation and said it was
the sickest piece Of work they ever
heard Of
A number Of questions, relative to
local conditions and the agreement,
were asked President Fullerton, which
were answered in a satisfactory
manner.
Bro. Wolfe made a short address
thanking the brothers for the gilt
edged support they have given him.

SIXTEEN PAGES TODAY

This issue of the Newark Leader
hits the journalistic bulls eye right
in the center. 1t is the largest, news
lest and best number of Newark's
progressive and flomishing labor ad-
vocate yet printed.
This is Labor VIII Win the War"
issue as well as a Labor Day number.
Within its many pages can be found
a fund of information of both local
and national interest not only to the
vast army of organized workers but to
the public in general. Read it care
fully and preserve your copy for
future reference and as a souvenir of
labor's great and patriotic 1913 cele-
bration,
We express our sincere apprecia-
tion Of the almost universal friendly
attitude of the commercial, business
and professional interests Of the city
who have given proof Of their friend
ship by generously patronizing the
advertising columns of this splendid
issue. Each and all of them have
thus emphasized a high degree of
patriotism in taking this opportunity
of showing recognition for what labor
is doing, and doing unfinchingly, in
this national crisis. We salute hun
dreds of live business firms and indi
viduals whose announcements appear
on these pages. They are thus help
ing to purge labor's ranks of fanatics
who would destroy, and thereby lend
ing additional aid to win the war.
Let labor, in its turn, be equally
loyal to its friends and extend its
patronage only to those who have
thus generously and gladly given evil
dence Of their friendship and who be-
ieve that the workingman's dollar
is as valuable and as desirable as is
that of the purse-proud would-be
aristocrat who drives to their esta-
blishment in an expensive and lux
