her in the war because America cane
to the rescue Of the Allies, will succeed
In the commercial struggle which Ia
now opening.
"In the Winter Of 1918 the brave
Russian soldiers, betrayed, bewildered,
demoralized and discouraged by three
years Of furious fighting under horrible
and most exasperating conditions due
to the corruption, treachery and all
around ineficiency of the Cars gov
eminent left the front and went
that not only France, England, Japan
and Italy but also America had
loaned money in enormous amounts to
the Car for the purpose of keeping
them under the iron heel OF tyranny, so
these bewildered peasants and work
men, sick at heart and unable to under
stand why America delayed SO long
coming into the war, just folded their
kitbags and went home. No men Of
other Allied nations would have put
on uniform under the conditions in
which the Russians struggled along
manfully for three years.
100000 Russians Killed
II contend that, as Germany and the
Bolsheviki conspired and acted to-
gether to set up and retain Bolshevism
in Russia in order that during and
after the war they might profit thereby,
it is the manifest duty Of the Allies
and most decidedly Americas duty in
particular-to aid in removing this
German-imposed yoke from the necks
of the brave and long suffering Rus
sian people who sent 100000 Of their
graves to help put an end to the Ger
man Bolshevist idea that might makes
right.
And we must never forget that the
Russians made these sacrifices for hu-
mainly before America even started to
fight. Many in America ask to this
day why Russia got out of the war so
soon.' Most people in Russia will won
der for many long day why America
got into the war so late"
Vice-Consul Hadley lived for a
period of from one week to several
months in nearly every important city
in European Russia and in Siberia, in
Guiding Petrograd, Moscow, Odessa,
Nikolayevsk, Tomsk, 1rkutsk, Hardin
and Vladivostok. He also visited
Sebastopol, Kharkov, Buzuluk, Ufa,
Omsk, Krasnoiarsk, Chita and other
smaller places for day or more each.
He was able also on several occasions
to get out into the villages and farming
sections.
America has the best form Of gov
eminent, all things considered, the
world has ever SEEM" Mr.. Hadley con-
tinued. 1T has not only stood the test
of time, but we can-and from time to
time we do-improve it a little here
and there. We can and we're going to
improve it some more, peacefully and
at the polls. That's the only sensible
way to achieve progress in a democ-
racy.
Never at any previous time in the
history of the world was so large a
proportion of the people of the world
trying to do the right thing-the fair
thing"-as now.

Plans for DismantIing Naval Stations
Are Going Forward
Rapidly.

Queenstown. Ireland. Plans for the
dismantling Of the American naval sta
tons in and around Queenstown are
going forward rapidly. Time will be
required to remove the base hospital
at White Point and much work will be
involved in removing the many big
warehouses which were brought here
from America and set up in record
time. Other important parts of the
American plant include wireless sta.
tons ut Queenstown and Aglada and
many hutments. a
American officers and men have
made deep impression on the people
Of Queenstown and in other parts Of
South Ireland, and relations generally
have been Of the most cordial nature.
This is proved by the fact that mum.
Der Of weddings already have taken
place, and more than one American
sailor has promised to return for the
girl he must leave behind.
Queenstown has pr0spered greatly
since the station was established here,
but the people declare their regret in
seeing the Americans depart is be-
cause they have become accustomed to
their presence and like them for the
fine young fellows they are.

Barnes county at last nights meet

lid was pledged last night to help

Over thirty counties out Of the fifty

RS all over the state are going into
This movement with enthusiasm. The
last straw that broke the camel's
back has happened. The people have
become convinced that the present
state regime is going too far in the
matter Of radical legislation and are
.oing to put an end to it. If an cleo
ton was held today the present adj

power. You can go a long way with

very long. That is what is happen

Joseph Didier, one of the old timers
from around Sanborn, was a caller at
the Times-Record Office this morning.
He will leave for Fargo this after
noon to look after some business mat
tiers. Mr.. Didier subscribed for the
Daily Times Record and says he likes
our editorials. He thinks the league
is singing the farmers right at Bis
marck and claims that the leaders are
trying their best to spend sas much
money as they can needlessly. He
does not like the way things are going

INDEPENDENT VOT-
ERS HOLD MEETING

A very representative meeting was
held in the city council chambers last
night by those who are opposed to
the program of taxation now being
put through at Bismarck. 1t was the
sense of the gathering that something
should be done to take steps to head
off some Of those measures that are
being passed at Bismarck by AID OF
the steam roller and petitions for de-
fering the measures to the people
taken. Mr.. ]. T. Nelson, one OF the
old time farmers Of the western part
Of the state, coming from Glen Ullin,
was here and addressed the gathering
and made many things plain to those
present on the single taxation idea,
the heavy appropriations that were
being passed and the unjust rates OF
taxation being enacted. Mr.. Nelson IS
not a polished orator but ne is one
Of the plain people who delivers his
message in simple but truthful Ian
guage ana . he made hit with the
representative bunch gathered last
night. He told Of the way the social
list crowd were looting the school fund

Meusnes, France, Jan. Is, 1919.
Dear Brother Levi-As this is the
last day will have chance to write
to you from France as we are getting
to start for home, and talk about your
happy boys we sure are, as l guess
they have all seen enough of France
by this time know I have and am
ready to get home just as fast as they
can take me and that won't be fast
enough as l wish l was home at the
present time, do you know that it is
just a month ago today since l re-
ceived the sad news of the death of
brother Albert, it is hard to believe
that he is no more as ! have planned
so on coming home, finding them all
as they were when l left but there
will be one missing, but nevertheless
Levi he is a great deal better off than
the rest of those who are left to suffer
the 'hardships of the world, myself
have often wished that I could pass
through those portals, pass into the
relentless hands Of death, but why
worry as it only makes life harder to
live, so I try and be cheerful no mat
ter what happens, as love is all that
a person lives for.
Well Levi month from today ex-
pect to see you and all of you folks,
feeling the same as when l left may
be a little more heavier then when
l left and feeling better than the best
feelers in the world, so you know
must feel dam good, and better than
that, all l want now is to get home
as fast as I can, and get out Of the
army again, so l can be free man
once more, l am sure wantto feel
natural for some time, but l am not
afraid that won't get used to it.
l had long letter from Peg some
time ago and she had been very sick
and she also received the sad news OF
her brother being killed over here in
Oct, so it was that much harder or
her and her mother took it awful
hard, being the only son, do you know
Levi that hell would have been moth.
| ing for us over here, compared .te
what our mother has suffered back
there and poor mother, it sure must
have been hard on her when Albert
died, she sure has had her share Of
| trouble the last few years.
| Levi l must bring this to a close
and that l will see you folks soon
| With love to all the folks,
Your brother,

vouchers to be submitted by the state
auditing board for approval.
Attorney General LANCER is said to
have stated at the conclusion of the
interview with Jack Hastings that he
favored such resolutions, but that he
did not regard them drastic enough,
and it is understood that he will pre-
pare an even more critical arraign-
ment Of these Corporation spawners, !"
! operating as league representatives
at the expense Of league farmers, for
submission at an early date.
1t is very conservative estimate
to state, says Mr.. Hall, that several
'illion dollars have been subscribed
since the league began operations in
this state to alleged league industrial
and commercial enterprises: using the
name of the league to influence farm
ers to part with their money.
| The Home Lumber Co. was an early
! instance Of this kind. Whether with
| the approval of the company itself or
otherwise, it is claimed that stock
statesmen did represent to prospective
investors that Governor Frazier, At
! torney General LANCER and other big
! leaguers were back Of this concern,
and that stock sales were made on
this basis.
| It is also alleged that at least one
group of some 80 farmers in the vicin-
ity of Werner who invested in stock
| of the Home Lumber Co., with the I'M
| derstanding that orders for lumber,
4 posts and other supplies, placed with
the agents, would be filled at SO per-
cent of the prevailing market price.
are still awaiting the delivery Of their
notes have been negotiated and money
secured upon them.
| It is alleged that this Company has
not to this date complied with Sec
lions 1898, 1899 and 5240, applying to
foreign corporations, operating in this
state taking advantage, it is claimed
Of the fact that the penalty clause, in
Section 5241, does not repeat the
words association or joint stock com:
pany," merely reading: each anc
/ every officer and agent Of such cor.
poration shall further be deemed gull

to comply with the provisions Of the

of State Hall does not believe such
technical difference in the wording o.
/ the statute warrants the stand take1
| by the Home Lumber Co., with regard
to it's refusal to appoint the secretary
Of state its attorney for service, ane
he threatens TO encourage the bring

To Whom it May Concern:
It, has been reported to me that q
bank is being organized at Jamestown
and that in the organization work of
such bank, representations are being
made that it is to be a league bank,
organized with the assistance and APP
proval of the nonpartisan league, and
that such institution will be made q
depository for bank funds from the
State Bank of North Dakota.
wish to state emphatically that
the nonpartisan league is organizing
no banks in North Dakota; we are or
ganizing no bank in Jamestown, and
f any bank or other eterprise is be-
ing promoted there it is personal
proposition and has nothing to do with
the League organization. It anyone
in Jamestown, or elsewhere, claims
that the league is backing his PROPOSE
ton and secures money or sells stock
on such representations, he is dishon-
est and a crook, and ought to be ar
rested.
Further, the State Bank of North
Dakota is being created to assist the
people OF Cue SIdIe IN1OuSA GhS OoHNS
already doing business in the state;
there is no need of more banks; there
ar at present too many banks in the
state. I want to warn league MEM
bers to 60 slow about investing
money with promoters, organizing
banks and other institutions, who
claim that such institutions are neces-
sary to work out the new laws en-
acted. The state will be flooded with
such promoters, but local and from
the outside.
When any promoter or stock sales
man claims to represent or have the
Endorsement of the league, demand his
credentials, and when he fails to pro-
duce them have him arrested.

We heard a few people discussing
the new school building proposition
in the postoffice lobby last night. One
lady, heavy taxpayer, thought that
instead of building a high school we
should build another grade school.
There is merit in that thought all
right, but to us it does not look feas-
ible at this time. We certainly need
the high school building more than
we do a grade building at
this time, and we are Of
the opinion that if we get the new
high school building this year or next
as the people. may decide, if Valley
City grows, as we expect it to, and
there is no reason why it should not
grow, we can build a grade building
later on. There are many ideas about
this school proposition and so many
different angles to look at the pro-
position and on every corner we hear
all kinds of suggestions but there
does not seem to be any concentrated
effort to get anywhere. That. is why
Valley City falls down many times
on securing improvements and enter
prises that it might get. Let's get
together once, and put this PROPOSE
ton over.
