MORE MISREPRESENTATION.

In his Darlington speech candidate Doyle
tried to make it appear that Governor Frazier
discouraged the sale of Liberty bonds in a pub
E lie address made at Minot late in June, 1917.
The best way to refute a charge of this sort
is to pull the record.
On May 26, several weeks before his alleged
remarks at Minot, Governor Frazier issued a
public proclamation calling upon all citizens to
loyalty respond to the appeal for Liberty bonds
and setting aside a Sunday upon which all
clergymen were urged to tell of the significance
of this great undertaking from their pulpits.
We would rather judge MIR. Frazier upon his
official acts and proclamations than upon bl-
ased and unfair reports of his speeches clrcu-
lated by an opposing candidate.
Suppose that every governor OF every state
in the Union had followed Fraziers lead" Mr.:
Doyle demanded, what would have happened
to our war program? +
Mr.. Doyle is unduly concerned. North Da.
kota far over-subscribed it's quota on each OF
the three Liberty loans and it will do so again
on the fourth. In the second Liberty loan North
Dakota had a larger per capita subscription
than any other state in the Union and in the
third Liberty loan it was the first common
wealth "over the top" If other states had done
as we'll as North Dakota in proportion to their
population the Liberty loan oversubscrlptlons
would have been even larger than they were.
Mr.. Doyle need not be discouraged If his chief
concern is patriotic. North Dakota's war record
will stand the test and is a source OF pride to
every really patriotic citizen in the state. But
if MIR. Doyle's concern is principally political, as
we have some cause to fear, then he may Well
be discouraged by this states war record, Tor
it constitutes one of the best reasons why Gov
ernor Frazier should be and will be reelected.

HIGH L A SEDITION.

People not trained in the law find it pretty
difficult to understand our laws against the var
ious kinds of sedition. The difficulty comes
from the. fact that so many remarks and ac-
tivities of a certain kind that appear clearly
seditious are left undisturbed by the watchdogs
of the law, But this is not the first time when
law and common sense seemed very far apart.
Prominent among the things the average man
would think of as violating the spirit of our Sc
dition avs is the propaganda in violation OF our
expressed war aims. These aims are sacred
and because of them all but the smallest minor
ity of our people have been able to rally behind
the president in support of the war. Any at
tempts to set them aside threatens this neces-
sary harmony and the fighting spirit of our sol
diers. Yet our journalistic Jezebels are scream
ing hate for peoples as we'll as vicious govern
ments. They are yelling for trade concessions
and trade blockades. Our oil trust is trying to
involve the United States in Mexico again to
prevent Mexico from Matchmaking it's oil fields
"a step which a majority of Americans regard
as very necessary at home. To this bill OF par
ticulars we can add an open propaganda to de-
fend the most outrageous protiteerlng, propa-
ganda which has become so bold as to violently
attack the federal trade commission for telling
the mild truth about the packing trust.
Is it less, reprehensible to oppose, with the in
tention Of setting aside, our democratic war
aims than to oppose the war? Is it less repre-
hensible to give the people who already misln-
derstand us, reasons for further distrust than
to lend more obvious aid to the enemy? De-
mocracy, national and international, may be a
new toy and a catch phrase for our plutocrats,
but it is the real thing to our people who must
furnish the fighting men and the war sacrifice.
To them opposition is opposition whether it ap-
pears in big metropolitan dailies or in t1y-by-
night pro-German propaganda. The lay mind
is not equipped to distinguish between classes
of bag eggs. aat g., XII IL. .::... #@se

SUBSCRIBERS TAKE NOTICE.

The Courant must again, and for the last
time, call attention to the fact that all subscrip-
tions that are not paid up to-, or in advance of
July I, 1918, will be dropped from our mail
ing list and the accounts put in the hands of
a collection agency. This may seen hard but
there is no other move for us to make. The
Government says, "All subscriptions that are
more than four month in arrears must be stop
ped" Look at the label on your paper and send
us a remittance covering what you owe and ex-
tending the subscription one year. This must
be attended to before October LIST, or the next
issue of The Courant will be missed in many
homes.

THE SPOIL OF THE POOR.

When the prophet Isaiah wanted to sum up
the evil conditions of his time, ne declared:
s"The spoil of the poor is in their houses" he
did not 90 on to explain why this threatened
ruin for the Hebrew state, because to the patr1oI
Isaiah such a condition was obviously Dan. let
in our day when we are strainlng every, means
to be strong in an international struggle, the
nrofteers have not only their houses rammed
with the spoil of the poor, but their clubs, nanKs
and Offices. And many persons who would pass
themselves off for patriots are going up ana
down the land denying this condition or as
sorting that gross profiteering is necessary Tor
efficiency, but the plain truth is as OLD as isaiah.
~ When the steel interests make from ~ 70
100 per cent a year, 100, 600, 900 users OF steer
combine pulls out huge profits, 4O,OOO,OOo poor
citizens must eat less and so be less able TO 40
GOOD work. When the copper barons make
their huge profits they might just as well put
brakes on all the wheels of national industry.
So we can go through the whole list OF prof1t
hogs. If these few hogs need big plrorts Tor Ell
ficiency, how about the multitude VINO must pay
them? Do good conditions and TAR returns
nave no bearing on their efficiency? The an
swer is too obvious to state. ii
The special interests have a new sport known
as Greeting. The game is to make the rocks
thrown at George Creel bounce off in such a
way as to hit the president.

was divided practically evenly
and the roll was called amid in
tense excitement.
Louisiana is the first state to
fail to ratify the federal amend
ment. Legislatures of ten states
have voted ratification.
The Senate chamber was
crowded to capacity with parti-
sans Of both factions. When the
roll call was finished and it was
seen that the ratification resolu-
ton had been defeated on a tie
vote, the anti-prohibitionists
broke out with cheers that re-
sounded through the capitol. The
prohibitionists had indulged in a
great demonstration when the rar-
ification resolution was passed By |
the House, and the opposing fac
