SOCIALISM IN NORTH DAKOTA.

Des Moines Capital: For the first
time the North Dakota legislature is
made up largely of nonpartisans.
Under its socialistic regime. North
Dakota may look for many radical
changes. In fact, the nonpartisan
program anticipates turning the run
ming gear of the state completely
to2sy-turvy under the guiding hand
of A. c. Townley, with the assist
ance Of his adviser, Walter Thamas
Mills. All the changes are to be
brought about by the caucus system
Members of the legislature OF North
Dakota elected as nonpartisans en-
tered the caucus bound to carry out
it's order, and in the caucus, which
is secret, Townley and Mills have
outlined their program and it has
the caucus approval.
The program comprehends the in
vestment of seven million dollars in
the establishment of a state bank
(where all public moneys will be re-
CURED to be deposited) and a system
Of terminal elevators and flour mills.

II these premises and deductions
are correct, the new church faith, If
1t develops, will have for its nucleus
only those who had no church ties
before they entered the service. They
may hold to a belief in the brother
hood of man, but religion is estab-
lished in a deeper element of the
human soul than the relations of man
to man, important as this is. Uplift-
ing environment, moral surroundings
and religious atmospheres are the
cultivation, not the planting. of re-
ligion. They lack the binding infiu-
ences which hold men to church
faiths and creeds- They. are super
fetal and bodily satisfying. but they
fail to reach the inner conscience
and to give the consolation which
comes from the blending of the as
pirations Of the individual with the
of Omnipotence made
possible only through devout church
affiliations.

The SOLDIER AND THE CHURCH

4 Sioux City Journal The churches
Of the United States are interested,
sEel deeply concerned. over the atIi-
: rUG which the returned soldiers viii
hold towards religion as il is taught
and praeGce6 by the various faiths
and creeds. There has been a be
Lief. unfounded but persistent, that
new SORT of religion and 2 new faith
would result from the enlarged view
point Of the men who had faced
death and who had fought side by
side with men Of other faiths; who
had shared their water TASKS with
the wounded who prayed a different
formula. who had stood at the listen
ing post beside those whose reli-
gious tenets were counter 10 their
own. No attempt has been made to
uRify the principles of this straw
man Of the new faith Sometimes IL

and the membership worked into one
great democracy OF faith, the basic
principle OF which is the brotherhood
OF man and the fatherhood Of God.
All these approximations overlook
the elemental impulse Of religion
that men do not change faiths be-
cause of the possibility of death nor
become converts TO new religion
within day. They likewise neglect
the other dominant principle of faith
adherence that the teachings Of
lifetime are part of the soul of the
individual and that because of this
no matter where he is located or
what conditions he faces, the chains
OF the faith Of his church still
"grapple him to home" The devout
Catholic would make the sign OF the
cross as he went over the top, even
though he walked between a Luther
an and Congregationalist, both of
whom were uttering their silent
prayers for the eafety of their souls
should death come to them in the
fray. None of these men
WOULD change their faith for the gen
eral brotherhood of mankind. though
that principle might be added to all
faiths.

fan as could be seen they never
would be brought to trial; but the
Judge set them up as justification
for Furnishing the editor. for con-
tempt, instead of taking his chances
in a libel suit before some other
judge, as any private citizen would
have had to do.
II this ruling had been allowed to
stand, the mere filing OF suits which
could be eternally delayed would be,
sufficient to stop any newspaper at
tack on political corruption. No ref
erence to the general issues of the
campaign could be made, lest 1t
prejudice the course Of justice in
these actions. The dismissal of the
information for contempt by the SUI
preme court, and the discharge OF
the man whom Judge Mechem sent
TO Jail, would appear to dispose OF
this very curious theory which would
afford permanent protection to any
political faction which happened to
send one of it's friends to the bench.
And, with the observation that ''un-
der our theory of government the
right of freedom of speech and of the
press are essential to public wei
fare" the court denies that judge
may use his authority in contempt to
redress his private grievances or
socthe his wounded personal feel
iDgs.

VICTORY FOR A FREE PRESS.

New York Times: Congratulations
are due to the Santa Fe New Mexi-
can and its editor, e. Dana Johnson,
fol successful resistance to men
acing invasion of the freedom OF
newspaper publication. The supreme
court of New Mexico has just re-
versed decision by which District
Judge Merritt c. Mechem found the
paper in contempt and sentenced its
editor to thirty days in Jail for pub
fishing an account of something
which he had done as a private indi-
v.dual. The New Mexican had been
attacking a group of politicians to
which the Judge was alleged to be-
long. Judge Mechem made state
ment in affidavit form which pre-
vented the disbarment of lawyer
ton under attack. and claimed that
publication of an account of this cpl
sode from the newspapers point of
view impaired his ability to admin
lister justice in certain cases then
pending.
The danger to the rights OF a free
press lay in Judge Mechem's extern
sion of the scope of the notion OF
tendency. There was no case then
before him in which his ability to
administer justice might have been
impaired by the publication of the
article. But several months before
indictments for criminal libel had
been found on the ground Of charges
which were part OF the same cam
paign against this political faction.
These cases had not been tried; so,

be one of those sind thar will not
down. II is pain hat Governor
Harding pardoned self confessed

people who were acquainted with the
case thought the young fellow should

Webster City Freeman-Journal: OF
late there has been revival of land

if prices of farm products are greatly

reckon with.

A MAN WITH A DREAM.

r. L. Conger, an American manufacturer of
airpIane parts with factories IN New York state.
has bought all the aircraft and equipment pro-
Yided at a cost of ten million dollars by Great
Britain for the training of Canadian air fight
ers. The purchase includes three hundred and
fifty planes, seven hundred engines and thou
sands of spare propellers, wings and other
parts The price is not stated, but no secret is
made Of the purchasers plans. He has abso-
lutte faith in the commercial future Of airplanes
for the transport Of passengers, mail and ex-
press and proposes the immediate development
OF airplane routes between the principal Do
minion cities
There is very general skepticism as to the
commercial Importance of aircraft. There are
many seemingly excellent arguments why air
transportation will never be popular and never
pay. But here is a man with faith that it will,
and it remains to be seen whether the dreamer
or the doubter is right
