-DVY W. Z. q

Some of our democratic friends are
moved to a high degree of mirth and
exultation all because the country
wished a republican congress on us
last November, the democrats claim
ing that the new congress is spending
more money than the democratic con
gress. That may be, all right, but the
fact of the matter is that the demo-
cratic congress with big majority in
both houses last fall, were so busy
trying to elect a democratic congress
that they did not have time to pass
the appropriation bills before the end
of that congress, consequently the re-
publicans have to pass all these bills
and in addition pay a lot more extrav-
agant bills that the preceding con-
gress wished on its successors. It is
tough luck on the republicans, but
they can easily get from under that by
showing that the bills were contract
ed under purely democratic admins
tration. It is probably amusing to
the dems but their laugh is of the
make believe variety. However the
democratic party still has Burlesor
with it, and that is a much bigger
hoodoo than any republican congress
ever could be to the country.

important appointments are to be
made by Governor Frazier today. Al
though no announcements Of the men
to be named have been issued, it is
rumored that the Office a commits
sioner of immigration is to be offered
to Dr.. John N. Worst, president
emeritus of the Agricultural college,.
Mr.. Worst is q pioneer citizen OF
the state and is universally respect
ed by the farmers Of the state. He
was forced out Of the presidency OF
the farm school by the old reac-
tionaries for his revelations concern
ing the graft in marketing farm
products. The position Of immigra-
ton commissioner is an important
one, having taken on the double func-
ton of attracting homeseekers to
North Dakota and Of relieving some
Of the difficulties uuder which the
farmers in the southwestern dry dis
trict are laboring. 5s
The board Of administration which
will take charge Of the educational
and other institutions Of the state,
will require three appointments
It is generally believed that it's
membership will be made up to men
already familiar with the important
duties Of the Office. Among these
places is p. M. Casey, president Of
the Equity Packing company Of
Fargo, George E. Totten OF Bowman
and Robert F. Muir Of Sarles. Mr..
Casey has been member OF the
board Of control, whose duties are to
be taken over by the board ofad-
1ninistration. Messrs. Totten and
Muir have been on the state board
Of regents, which also is superseded
by the new board.
Three district judges are also to
be named, and three members OF. the
state board of bar examiners. Moth.
ing is known Of the personnel Of
these. s

A nations prosperity is measured
by it's business prosperity.
Business prosperity is possible only.
through the exercise of personal mi
tiative on the part of those engaged
therein.
Personal initiative requires ade-
quate reward as an incentive for its
continued existence.
There is no monopoly on personal
initiative; the United States constitu-
ton guarantees the right to free use
of initiative as a birth right to every
American citizen, both native born and
by adoption.
gle on to accomplishment.
The possession and enjoyment OF
the fruits of his toll constitutes the
reward to the man who exercises ini-
tiative, no matter what his sphere in
life may be.
This is the goal man seeks,
whether his toll be physical or mental.
No man will exercise initiative if
he cannot possess the fruits OF his
toll.
The ownership Of property is the
right of everyone; it is sacred right
because it is the reward Of initiative,
and initiative is the tonic Of business
success and prosperity.
The moment the state OF nation en-
cages in private enterprise it deals q
blow of individual initiative.
Individual initiative will not func-
ton under conditions Of state owner
ship because the hope OF reward is
not adequate.
There is no monopoly on mental OF
physical toll; the poorest boy in the
country may become the mental gen.
| Jus of the century.
Physical toll presupposes in certain
cases tiresome toll.
Mental toll always means q mind
harrassed and strained by responsible
ity.
The young man starting in life can
choose one or the other; his success
will depend on his initiative and abil-
| ity and perseverance,.
| The older man can impress upon
his boy his chances for success by the
exercise Of initiative, regardless o.
whether his toll ct the start be mental
! or physical.
The two constantly interchange and

day is the mental toiler Of tomorrow

The editor visited the fair at Far

ING his short visit there he discovered
that Fargo had a great fair. There
was great display Of stock, farm
machinery, automobiles and in fact
about everything that is manufac-
tured and used in business. In addi-
ton there was every conceivable form
of amusement, good horse races and
free attractions and lots Of band mu-
sic from various bands. However
good this fair is, we have criticism
to make just the same. The newspap-
er man is sent what it termed a
comp" For this he generously gives
the fair much free advertising which
more than pays for the comp-and
does it cheerfully. When we got to
the fair grounds our comp" admitted
US without question to the grounds.
Then we were told to call at the secre-
tary's office for a ticket which admits
us to the grandstand. We called on
the secretary and were allowed to cool
our heels in his august presence while
we listened to some reporter talk over
how to. run the fair which could have
been done some other time. We were
tNsn handed ticket to the grand
stand but after arriving there were
told by the usher that all the seats
were reserved and if we wanted one OF
them we could 60 buy one or sit down
in the sun by the fence in front OF

The labor federation of Minnesota
has refused to 60 on strike for Mooney
who is serving a life sentence for
bombing in San Francisco. We are
pleased at this independent stand OF
the labor party in Minnesota. 1t
shows that after all the men of these
organizations want to be right.
Mooney has no more punishment than
he deserves and if we had our way
about it he would have stretched
hemp. The innocent people that he
sent into eternity by his bomb throw
ing have no redress and the suffering
his act has left among the relatives of
these people is far greater than his
punishment. The fact of the matter
is that agitators are trying to work
up a sympathetic strike among a lot
of labor folks that are easily led.

Adjutant General Fraser, of Bis
marck, N. D., has gone out of his way
to publicly thank the newspapers Of
the state for the splendid service they
did in giving vast columns of free
space to the government during the
war and wants the publishers to know
he, for one, deeply appreciates this
help. He says it was the newspapers
that won the war because the news
paper was the medium that the gov
sity of backing up the government and
giving all the governmental depart
ments advertising that they must Of
necessity have. The Times-Record is
glad to know that our adjutant gen.
eral appreciates this effort on the part
of the press. He appears to be the
only one in the state house at Bis
marck who do appreciate these efforts
outside of three or four officials who
have Loyalty backed the newspapers,
Messrs. LANCER, Hall, Kositzky and
Miss Nielson-the administration has
been against the press right along as
is evidenced by the infamous printing
bill the administration allowed to pass
the legislature. The fact of the mat
ter is while the newspapers were do
ing valiant work for the government
and backing the boys who were in the
trenches, Townley and his bunch were
stabbing them in the back with their
disloyal speeches, and Mr.. Townley
has recently been convicted by a jury
of farmers for disloyalty in Mime
sofa. Yet we are told that we cannot
publish any legal business of private
nature through law passed by leg
islature absolutely dominated by this
same Townley and approved by gov
ernor who is subservient to that mans
will. The people of North Dakota
should feel proud of voting for such
measure and evidently do not appre-
ciate the value of the work of the
newspapers in the war like the adJu-
tant general does. Personally we
thank Mr.. Fraser for his appreciation.
It is like a ray of sunshine out Of
