Big Law Suit

Big Law Suit
On Saturday A. w. Lindquist
Of the Independent Home Oil CT.
Of Fairmount goes to Chicago to
attend the trial of the Paramount
Independent Home Oil Co., VS..
twenty one railroads throughout
the northwest.
The oil company has been
fighting for freight rates for
Paramount andthe trial was to
'come off at Fargo, but it has
been removed to Chicago, where
1T will begin next Wednesday.
July 16. Clifford Thorn, the
greatest freight rate lawyer in
the country, he was at one time
chairman of the Iowa Railroad
commission in handling the case
for the oil company.
And by the way we may men,
ton, that Mr.. Lindquist has re-
'ceived the appointment to a men,
bership on the State Drainage
commission. which is a very inn
portant Office, and the appoint
ment came to Mr.. Lindquist un-
solicited and when he received
his appointment the board was
in session at Bismarck. The way
the appointment came about was
a co-incident that happened last
winter during the legislature.
Mr.. Lindquist was attending all
meetings Of the freight rate
committee to see that the COM
mittee did not get away with his
freight rate bill. In the next room
was the drainage committee,
eleven in all, Mr.. Lindquist was
interested in the drainage of the
Red River Valley and inquired
from time to tine how was the
drainage bill for appropriation
coming on, one doy one of the
members informed him the bill
was voted down by eight to three
votes. Mr.. Lindquist asked if he
could not talk to the committee
for one hour, they granted him
80 minutes, and from his talk
the committee reconsidered their
decision and passed the bill. From
that 30 minutes talk the bill was
passed and report got to Tom
Hall who proposed Mr.. Lindquist
for the drainage board and Gov
ernor Frazier made the appoint
mcnt.
We believe that Mr.. Lin!quist
will do all he can to have this
country drained and the meet
ings that are ia be held for push
ing this project through will be
held in Paramount. While there
is no fixed salary to the office Mr..
Lindquist will do his best to push
the drainage to completion

Hank Burke we'll known here
created a little diversion in Fargo
recently by skidding his big car
in a zig gag course down Broad
way. He hit five cars and showed
one car through a plate glass
front. When arrested there were
three pints of whiskey in the
car, and good judges declared
there must have been an equal
amount in Hank. The fines and
damages made his little joy ride
cost him $232.5O a minute while
it lasted.
Bill Gottschalk had a nasty ex-
perience coming from Sisseton
late Thursday night. Driving at
a good rate of speed, he came
without warning to a square
turn in the grade. Being unable
to take the corner he set the
brakes and slid straight ahead
lover a seven foot bank, making
a nose spin into the slough. A
farmer was routed out and haul
ed the car out with a tractor.
Of the five passengers in the
car none were injured. 1t seems
that warning signs of such dan
gerous turns should be erected
at all places of this character.
The condition in which some
of the newly made roads are left
by the builders is a disgrace to
any civilized community. Take
the grade east of here on the
New Ellington road for examples
1t is a good piece of work as far
as it goes, but has not been COM
pleted. Merely piling a ridge Of
sod in the center of a grade does
not make a road. After spending
a lot of public money why not
make it passable by using a
drag or harrow at a small outlay
of time and labor.
Harry C. Evan, the war cor
respondent and welfare worker
gave splendid lecture Smash
ing of the Hindenburg Line" as
the Friday night number of the
chautauqua. He told of the WON
derful work of our soldiers on.th
west front. He told of the heroic
conduct of the 35th division,
the first division that went into
the Argonne forest and fought
for seven days in a hell of ma
chine gun fire and high explos-
ives, losing seventy per cent of
the men engaged. He told of the
courage and determination of
other units and divisions, and
then called Joe Smith to the
platform as one of those who
were crippled in the Argonne.
Ben Wig and Pug Garlock were
also called to the stage and it
developed that Ben Wig was a
member of the 35th division, and
that he was one of the thirty per
cent of the division that came
out alive. A draft for nearly 500
kgiven by the Home Guard Co.
was then presented to Joe Smith
by Mr.. Evans who congratulated
the boys upon their luck in TAX
ing such a part in the great
struggle for world liberty, and

Another chautauqua has come

companies that furnish the tai
ent had done their share. The
principles back of the Chautau-
qua are the greatest ideals of
Aemrican life, and are based on
the,idea of creating a community
desire for better things. But in
our estimate the companies who
profess to be fostering this
spirit are rather trying to COM
mercialize it, and by foisting am
atuers and cheap talent on the
public who are putting up big
money for the course, cause a
feeling of disgust among the pa
irons that leads to the inevitable
shortage. There are always some
grand good numbers on the pro.
gram, and there are always few
that are disgustingly inadequate

Jusiiies Sale Of Bonds

To the Editor Of the Eucniiig Public Lcdoer
Sir-Your argument arA advice to hold
the Liberty Bonds is most correct but too
often necessity knows no law There is
another side. Many of these bonds were
bought by war workers who thought, as
we all did, that the war would not be
finished before the last of this year or even
1920. They find their jobs gone. Many were
bought by soldiers who find they cannot
pay hotel prices in the cities where We are
dischargng them. The "hu" brought large
and unexpected doctors bills to MANY.
Others in their patriotism overboyght their
ability to pay.
Advice to hold on does not help these and
many others. They are selling so many of
them that the paper contain advertisements
of firms anxious to buy They are selling at
loss too often with tho addition of a
commission or Expenses"
This is wrong great wrong to patriotic
people who did their best to helm their
country. Their country-our great country
should and can see that this wrong does
not exist. If these patriotic buyers really
need their money, their bonds should be
taken off their hands at par by the govern
'ment they helped TO save. The war is
over; the danger of imitation has passed. IL
II ever existed because OF its low purcha sing
power We need more money per capita in
circulation and it is to the interest Of tho
country TO stop needless interest. We should
therefore buy such bonds as sowners must

The present method means that the wealth.
Ter class VIII acquire the bonds at a low
price while the workers will be the on,s
TO redeem them with interest many years
from now. 1t is certainly much better
business TO redeem them now by the issue
OF greenbacks which do not bear interest
and which would facilitate business ana
give employment to the rapidly increasing
army of unemployed. We finished the Civil
war on greenbacks We found them such
good money that we have continued them
ever since.
The Liberty Bonds were a splendid wav
TO sell the war" to the general public. but
now that we have won the war and every
business man needs his money in his bust
ness where 1t oan and should pay him far
better than In the bonds we should as
business proposition jump at the plan TO re.
deem the bonds by paying for them at mar
in current money. This would not only save
the real friends of our land from the losses
they are now taking, but 1t would greatly
facilitate our getting onto profitable neace

Ireland in Peace Conference

To the Editor ot the Epening Public Ledger:
Sir-wnl you please publish the inclosed
| It is a letter from an English paper. and to
my mind contains nearly everything OIL both
sides of a great question 1t would please
a great number of readers of the EVENING
PUBLIC LEDGER to read this in your valuable
paper f.. IT, j.
Philadelphia, February ].
From the Manchester Guardian.
Let It be realized at once that it will be
entirely impossible to exclude the question
of Ireland from the purview of the Peace
Conference. There will be demand, OF
course-it has been made already-for dlrect
representation of Ireland by the Irish and
the conference. 1t will no doubt be refused
Yet, after all. Ireland may put forward
claim no less worthy of attention than
say that of the Czecho-Slovaks or OF the
Jugo-Slavs. whose case will occupy the very
serious attention, of the conference and whose
spokesmen will presumably be heard.
No doubt 1t will be said that Parliament,
and not the Peace Conference, Is the tribunal
to which Nationalist Ireland should cry
her griefs that 1t is a purely domestic
matter with which nobody but ourselves l.
competent 10 deal; and that any attempt
to take II out of their hands and to bring
external opinion, let alone external action
to bear would be instantly and uncompro-
misingly resisted. '.'..-
The answer to this is that Ireland has
been appealing to Parliament for genera
tions, and her representatives even allege
that not only has the oft-promised measure
of freedom been dashed from Irelands lips
but that nothing has been done TO help her
and satisfy a claim long since admitted to be
just, but that the Prime Minister. who is
ultimately responsible for ali that happens
or does not happen In Ireland was once
known as a friend OF Irish freedom as of
other small nations, but that no word or

will be called upon to adjust is it not also
true that they contain within them separate
and dissenting elements?
|. In all these cases adjustments will have
to be made, compromises arranged, securities
given. Why is the case of Ireland to be
accorded something more than securities and
the fairest possible treatment? Why is It to
be permitted forever to bar the way to peace ?
We do not know whether the problem is
too hard for the present government. Pos
sibly the reason why its policy has appeared
TO develop on the side of violence and ap-
peasement is that the will the power
for the second of those policies is lacking,
and that the government-or the prsdomi-
nant forces within it--have consciously or
unconsciously sought TO cover this dreadful
defeat and failure by a, course which sub
stitutes force for policy and is reckless for
liberty and reckless of blood.
