Henry Ward Beecher said: "When
once a concealment or a deceit has
been practiced in matters where all
should be fair and open as day, conf
dence can never be restored, any more
than you can restore the white bloom
to the grape or plum that you once
pressed in your hand" 1t is not hard
to understand why the most substan-
tial men in the nonpartisan league are
repudiating a boss who directs his fol-
lowers to Ego home and lie; lie like a
damned horsethief."

Seeding is going to be two weeks or
more later this year than in the past
few years, but there is nothing to
worry about on that account. In the
early years of development in this
state we never used to look for gen.
eral breakup Of winter until about
April Is and it was near the first of
May many years before the farmers
got we'll into seeding. In the years
when we had a late spring we always
got good crop and were just as far
ahead in the long run, so let's be
cheerful and figure that everything is
going to turn out all right.

Barnes county has been allotted
100000 as it's portion to raise in. the
coming drive for the Victory Loan
which starts next Monday. Chairman
Grangaard is in the city now and is
here to remain until the drive is over
to look after things and he is feeling
exceedingly optimistic over the out
look for the success of the drive. He
says Barnes county is going over the
top in good shape and that is the way
it looks to us at this time. The ex-
ceptionally fine rate Of interest the
government is giving for these bonds,
with the six payments, making them
easy to meet, and the short time loan
Of only four years, makes it an attrac-
tive investment at that, so that there
should be no hesitancy in taking these
bonds. Barnes county went over its
quota before and we look to see it 20
overe again. Keep in mind the fact
that we owe it to the boys who are
over there to finish this job and, we
owe it to the government to see that
all its obligations are met and the
bills paid. We went into the war to
win and We have won a glorio is VIC
tory. Let US make that victory me re
glorious by meeting our obligations.
Subscribe literally for the Victory
Loan.

Attorney General VIM. LANCER has
appointed Lieut.. Earl Tostevin, of
Mandan, to a state position, we forget
just what the job is, anyway it is one
that has been created by the late leg
islature. This is the second soldier
boy appointed by the attorney general
to good job and shows that our
fearless attorney generals heart is in
the right place. Now comes the
Courier-News, the mouthpiece of the
league, and jumps onto Mr.. LANCER
with both feet claiming that Mr.. Tos-
tevin is an enemy of the people. Ye
Gods. If that soldier boys is an enemy
of the people then the rest of us must
be rank traitors and deserve to be
shot. Earl Tostevin has been in the
United States service for about two
years. He has been over in France
doing his bit for his country and now
he is termed by this socialist sheet
as an enemy Of the people. While
the Courier-News force was spreading
the propaganda Of hatred and class
legislation and in yelled manner
talking against the government and
the war, this young man was carrying
a gun to start with over in France
and by his ability was raised to the
rank of lieutenant. Does any man
with any degree of intelligence call
this kind of man an enemy of the
people? The truth of the matter is
that Mr.. Tostevin has been writing
some letters back here that did not
suit the Courier-News and the league
leaders, these letters appearing in the
Forum and the Mandan papers. They
were real American letters too, writ
ten by patriotic American citizen.
Mr.. Tostevin is the son of the veteran
editor who was arrested at the in
stance Of the state council of defense
for suggesting that some of the league
leaders during the war were disloyal.
Gov. Frazier wanted the father of this
soldier boy to suspend the publication
of the Mandan Pioneer for this reason
and like the real patriotic man he is,
he told the governor he would not sus-
pend and intimated that the governor
might go to warmer climate than
it is here at this time before he would
quit publishing his paper. We hope
to see many more of the soldier boys
remembered when these plums are
given out. 1t is natural for the C. N.
and others of the ''kept Townley
press" to kick on these kind of ap-
pointments. They would rather have
some red card socialist given the job
to help build up their organization.
