it for filing. "In this instance" says
the opinion, "the failure of a day in

though it was twenty days" The de-
tiSion Of the supreme court in the
case of the state ex rel Miller versus
Burnham, held to be identical, is cited
in support Of the opinion. The result
will be that the league candidate in
Towner county must run on stickers,

to have been caused by belief on the
part of his managers that filing with
the county auditor was sufficient. They

The present radical discrimination settles everything except the mean

One reason why the league constitution will need revision in fu-
fure wears is because the present vision is a bit couded by sefshness.
The government has a billion dollars to lend those who would
sell goods in foreign markets. but of course it would be outrageously
Our guess It that the league constitution won't contain anything
that will keep European nations from protecting their citizens and
property in Mexico.
An official of our State Department, name not announced, ex-
presses the opinion that the time has come to take a firm stand against
Bolshevism. His opinion is sound enough, but about a year tardy.
If the French members of the interalled mission in Budapest
have really been interned by the Reds, the only occasion for surprise
is that they were not inferred instead.
1t is reported from Vienna that Budapest Reds have no i'll feeling
for Americans 1t sounds reassuring, but rather insulting.
Every day brings new proof of Hun plots before 1914, but what
we want is a little proof concerning Hun plots for tomorrow.
Nothing the ancient Spartaeus did justifes the insult of using
him as a name for the minority crowd in Hunland.

The fact that this naturalization bureau has been estaohsneu 1i
