The non-partisan league aiminis-
tration in North Dakota is finding
some rough roads for it's steam roller.
Five of the state officers. who were
hand picked by the league, have de-
nounced the tactics of the league,
and are supporting the movement to
referend number of the laws recent
" passed by the legislature. In spite
Of the efforts of the league workers
to block the movement, it is an
nounced that more than the required
number of signatures have been pe-
cured on the referendum petitions
The supreme court has decided that
the laws are subject to the referend-
um. Now the North Dakota blue-sky
commission has forbidden the sale OF
any more stock in the Townley stores
commission until the laws of the state
are complied with.

We must take risks, no matter
whether we accept the league or re-
ject it. The risks that We take in
accepting it are less than the risks we
take if we reject it and turn back to
the old ways of blood and slaughter.
w. j. Bryan.
This is a common but very unfair
way Of soliciting support Cor the
league of nations. To argue that the
only alternative to rejecting this
particular form of league is a re-
turn to old ways of blood and slaugh-
ter is unfair. Those who oppose the
proposed constitution believe that the
entanglements imposed by this consti-
tuition would breed war rather than
prevent it. They believe that con-
stitution for permanent league of
nations is not fit rider to tack onto
a peace treaty, but that 1t could be
more wisely negotiated after the cha
otic conditions resulting from the war
have been settled.

SCOTLAND, BON HoMME COUNTY, s D. rHuRsDA4, ApRII,

President Lowell, of Harvard Coll
lege, in debat ing the constitutional
features of the league of nations
seems to handle the question very
loosely. He answers the charge that
various features of the constitution of
the league of nations conflict with the
constitution Of the United States in
that they usurp the authority vested
in congress, by calling attention to
the fact that treaties have already
been made, ane ratified by the senate,
covering most of these points. and
therefore argues that exercise of that
authority by the executive council Of
the league of nations would not be
unconstitutional. There is a wide
difference between the two methods
of making treaties. When treaties
are made under our present eysten
each treaty is considered on it's mer-
its, and when once made it can not
be changed without the consent of the
contracting par ties Under the pro-
posed system congress would delegate
it's constitutional authority to an ex-
ecutive council. made Iup largely Of
European and Asiatic representatives,
who would be authorized to change il
at will. This feature has already
been decided by our supreme court,
in the matter Of giving the interstate
commerce commission absolute au-
thority to fix transportation rates. If
we mistake not the decision was that,
while congress possessed such power.
that it could rot delegate that power
to any other body. An individual
may grant power of attorney to
some person authorizing that person
to transact business in his name, but
the attorney can not transfer that au-
thority to any other person. The
people have given this ''power of at
torney" to congress to act for them
in legislative matters, but have not
authorized congress- to transfer that
authority to any oriental congress.

A special meeting of the Head
Camp of the Modern Woodmen Of
America was held in Chicago last
week, and it was decided to raise the
assessments of the members about
fifty per cent. A 20 cent war tax
has been collected since the war
started, on each 81, 600 of insurance,
for the purpose of paying death claims
of the soldiers. and 1000 such claims
have been paid. but this tax will ter
inmate with the close Of the war.
The unusual death rate on account of
the influenza has resulted in reducing
the surplus fund of the order, which
was $14, 600. 900, to about one third
of that amount, and the increase was
made to meet these contingencies.
There will be some doubts among the
membership as to the necessity o.
making so large permanent raise to
mset temporary contingency.

A press dispatch of March 29th
staes that passports have been grant
ed to three American citizens, as
representatives of the Irish race con-
vention held last month in Philadel.
phia, to go to Paris for the purpose
of presenting the claims of Ireland
for independence at the peace confer
ence. When the South was attempt
ing to secede and form an independent
gov ernment this country strongly re-.
sented the acts of some Englishmen
who attempted to interfere in our do
mestic affairs and aid the South.
We felt that it wa. our own family
trouble and we had q right to settle
it to suit ourselves. This country
can easily make itself public nui-
sance by interfering with the private
affairs of other friendly nations.

U. S. WAS FAR BEHIND
IN WAR EXPENDITURES
EnIIghtening Information From Fig
ures Computed by War
Department.

Those who believe that the United
States has contributed far more to the
prosecution of the war than any Of
the other allies, may CLEAN some en-.
tightening information from figures re-
Gently compiled by the Treasury De-
partment.
These figures show that in compari-
son with Great Britain, for example,
this country was far behind in total
expended.
The latest available statistics show
that Great Britain's war bill totalled
$37, 0,000,000, in comparison with
$1S,4S1, 100000 for the United States.
Criticism has been heard that this
country loaned Great Britain, France
and others of the allies all the money
they spent. The Treasury figures also
disprove this statement. Our total
loans to the Allies were s7,S75 ,OOO, 900
and Great Britain lent $500 100000.
Even France. generally considered
a poor war spender. devoted moro to
winning the war than did America
with total Of $4,000, 100000. Russia
was right behind us with $4,000, ,OOO,-
900.
= Germany was second only to Great
Britain in paying for the four years
OF war for the Berlin government
poured out $36.5oo, ,0oO, 900 in vain at.
tempt to get her place In the sun. The
other Teutonic allies added $23,ooo,.
100000, giving the Central Empires a
total war bill of $59,500,O00.O0O.

The committee appointed last Feb
ruary to report on the feasibility Of
utilizing the current of the Missouri
river to develop power has made it's
report. The commission finds that
the cost of the dam would be about
Sc. 5000 and cost of the plant.
wires and poles would be about
So. 500. 600. making the system cost
$40, 900. 600. The annual outlay for
upkeep Of the plant would be about
$1,600,OO0. If 100, 600, 900 kilo.
watts of current could be disposed of
at 2 cents -kilowatt. this would pro-
duce an income of So. ZOO, 600. thus
leaving the state net profit of $4OO-
600 If estimates could only be made
legal tender how quickly this state
could become rich.

The Ebert government in Germany
recognizes that it must pay for dam.
age done and material stolen by the
German army in Belgium and northern
France, but insists that they should
be permitted to do it voluntarily. 1t
would be an unusual proceeding to
permit the vanquished foe to fix it's
own terms of settlement, but they
probably figure that this is in eaccord-
ance with President Wilson's point Of
self determination.

WHO WANTS TO TRY THE
NEWSPAPER GAME?

There is no business in winch a
man can engage, where he will find
80 many people who will want to tell
publishing of a newspaper. From the
crankiest old maid to the leading cit
izen of the town, preacher, merchant,
doctor, lawyer, housekeeper, club
woman, wash woman, society belle, all
of them at some time or other come
around and tell you how the paper
should be run. And the funny part
about it is, that hundred and one
out of hundred of these people, if
they should get grip on the helm OF
newspaper, would have it so deep in
libel suits inside of a week that It
would take Henry Ford's bank roll
to pay out, they would have the town
by its ears over the papers utterances
! and would have antagonized every
advertiser. The man does not live
who would go into a bank and tell
banker how money should be loaned
or who would go into a drugstore
and tell a druggist how drugs should
be sold or who would go to millin-
cry store and tell milliner how
ladies headgear should be sold, but
every man, almost, thinks he knows
how to run a newspaper. If it were
not for the fact that it would be too
much like giving a baby some T. N. T.
and hammer, it would be beautiful
idea for every newspaper man who
encounters one of these individuals
to turn the paper over to him for
day or two. We know of nothing that
would cure him so quickly.-Agricul-
