NO SHINING EXAMPLE

When the time. comes for Germany
to send an Ambassador to the Uni
ted States-or to any other of the
Allied countries. for that matter
the difficulty Of finding the right
person will be very great suggests
the Philadelphia Inquirer. in the
present state of feeling none could
expect a very warm welcome. The
German Government VIII 90 well if
it succeeds in finding someone who
is not positively Objectionable. It's
old diplomatic force may not be OF
much help; thdre were many more
Bernstorffs than Lichnowskys IN it..
"The suggestion that Macmillan
Harden would come nearer to being
persona grata to the American peo-
pie than anyone else is perhaps not
altogether happy, Harden has been
vocjferating rather loudly of late
upon the duty Of the German people
to accept the situation in which
they find themselves, and intimating
that they themselves are to blame
for their misfortunes. Yet he him
self was quito as enthusiastic as
any Of them when the war broke
out. 1t was in his paper, the Zu-
kunft, in December, 1914, that he
wrote:
"Now we know what the war IS
for. 1t is to hoist the storm flag OF
theI Empire on the narrow Channel
that opens and locks the road into
the ocean. We shall remain in the
Belgian Nctherlasds, to which We
shall add the thin strip OF coast up
TO the rear Of Calais. Nevar was
there a war more just. 1t shall, it
must. it will conquer new provinces
for the majesty Of the noble Ger
man spirit"
"ChastcnCd since then Harden
may be, but so may many others OF
his countrymen. Perhaps the learn
ed professors who defended all the
military atrocities in Belgium have
experienced change Of heart. There
is no occasion to question his o.
their sincerity, so fir as resumirg'
formal intercourse is concerned.
Harden might make as good Andbas-
sador as any. But let rs not dece!v !
ourselves with the idea that he is
specially exempt from the reproach
the Germans have incurred"

WHY CUMBER THEY THE
GROUND?

The recent copious rains: %haVe
stimulated the weed crop in certain
sections of Alexandria. IN many
places these obnoxious growths are
as high as mans head. Grass
is also growing luxuriatniy in gut
tiers and by the sides Of fences
rendering neighborhoods unslgntly.
A few years ago the Civic I'M
provement League performed valua-
BE services by pointing out places
needing attention, but the owners Of
property as well as the occuperS
have paid but little attention to such
matters lately, and the result IS as
might have been expected.
It is generally admitted that
weeds play their part in augmentlng

| Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 3O-The in
dependent Voters association, in ses-
sion here last night adopted resolu-
ftions bitterly scoring the leaders of
the Nonpartisan league for the man
ner in which the legislature is be-
ing conducted and setting forth their
principles for sound democratic gov
ernment in the state.
The resolutions declared that the
association views were serious mis-
givings the present political condi-
tions in North Dakota and condemns
the actions of a few self-appointed
leaders and agitators who have fas
tened themselves on the body polite
Of that state and who seek to devide
the people of the state into two
classes"
Steps were taken to bring per-
manent organization of a state wide
nature to continue propaganda work
aimed at re-establishing the rule of
the people as opposed to the rule of
Socialists who are today dominant
in state affairs.
Nelson's Address.
Theodore Nelson, in outlining the
purpose of the meeting, spoke as fol-
lows:
"A great many people who find
fault with things as they are, are
very often much at fault them
selves. Very Often it is a case Of
lazy citizenship. Their complaints

they had rather go to show or
look at the funnfes than to read seri-
GUS propositions brought forward by
people who have perhaps given one
hundred times as much time and
study before formulating any propo-
sition as would be required to give
it the most careful consideration,
when perfected in concrete or crys-
tallized form.
"The Townley organizers have had
a taste of the green grain by sticking
their heads through the wire and they
liked it so we'll that they are now
determined to break the wires down
completely and it is up to those of

that might suffer as a consequence
to keep up a persistent watch over
our own fields and warn our neigh

PIONEER NEWSPAPER
MAN PASSES AWAT

George J. Smith, we'll known news
paper man and former candidate for
governor of North Dakota, died at
Plaza, N. D., Feb. j, Of pneumonia.
Coming to this state from Neills-
vile, Wis, and taking up a home stead
he soon engaged in the newspaper
business, and for several years pub
lished the Plaza Pioneer, Stanley IN
dependent, Douglas Herald, Ryder
news, Makoti Herald, Van Hook Trib-
une, Public Opinion Of Bismarck, and
the Parshall Post This system Of
country weeklies was known as the
Northwestern Press association, and
he did much to promote the progress
of the former Berthold reservation
country from Max to Sanish, through
the medium of his newspapers.
Smith was an advocate of co-opera-
tion as opposed to government owner
ship and state socialism. For this
reason he was for three years one of
North Dakota's most active and bitter
opponents of the Nonpartisan lelguo
movement. He was the founder OF
the 6 per cent interest and worked for
years for the interest of the farmers
along this line, having a bill introduc-
ed to the legislature for per cent in

He had warm friends in every sec

gret his death, coming at time when
he was in his prime, and before he
had been rewarded for his noble worF.

THOROUGHNESS

Grand Forks, Feb. 4.-Germany is
OH the right road to recovery and
might become fairly iveable place
if every city in the country would
institute a truly American mayor
and just as truly American chief Of
police, according to letters received
here from abroad.
Recent rumors in the city have it
that Colonel John Frame, who left
for overseas in command Of the first
North Dakota, had been made major
Of Coblenz, during the period of oc'
cupation by the American soldiers.
Furthermore it is rumofed that Ma.
jor NJ H. Sprague, formerly of Graf
ton, Who also left with the First
North Dakota was acting as chief OF
police in that city. This latter ru
NOR is futher borne out by the fact
that a business man in this city just
received a card from Marvel Sprague
dated January 1, which indicated that
he was major infantry provost march
al, Of the Seventh Army corps.
A war veteran, who had been with
! Colonel Frame in the Philippines

of the famous German city, after the
coloneIs term expires. "Coblenz will
be the cleanest D. town in Ger
many" is meagre expression of the
respect that the former subordinates
of the colonel have for his ability II

B0LSHEVlSM FLAYED
FORMER DUTCH MINISTER SAYS
SYSTEM IS END OF
CIVILIZATION

Amsterdam, Feb. 1.-The five cardi-
nal points of bolshevism are, accord
ing to Mr.. Oudendyk, formerly Dutch
minister in Petrograd, as follows:
1. High wages.
O. Don't work.
8. Take other peoples property.
4. No punishment
S. No taxation.
4 wish," said Mr.. Oudendyk, 'to
give a solemn warning to the work
ing classes of all nations against the
high-falutin notions which l have
seen in Russia. Bolshevism, say
without exaggeration, is the end of
civilization. have known Russia
Intimately for twe,1ty years under
the old regime and under the new
conditions. Never have the working
classes of Russia suffered as they
are doing at the present moment, not
withstanding all that the present So
called ruling classes in that country
choose to tell the world.
"The bulk Of the workmen in Rus.
sIa are today far and way worse off
than they ever have been and the
state of employment is simply terrible
When left Petrograd the situation
was one of utter starvation, and most
people hardly knew how they would
exist through the following day
Wherever Bolshevism rules, the ma
ton has been beaten to a pulp and is
utterly helpless. The future to me
seems hopeless. One thing is certain
that, left as she is now, Russia will be
in a state of utter and complete ruin.
Factories are at a standstill ani
are being ruined, and, without the
aid of foreign capital, they can never
be revived. l have never seen OF
dreamt of the possibility of such cor
ruption, tyranny and the absence o.
all semblance of freedom as there
is in Russia at the present moment
Most of the workmen now begir
to see that the regime of bolshevisn
cannot possibly last. The whole
world must stand shoulder to should

may arise, but personally l. know not
