SOCIALISM IS
GIVEN PLAYING
In Strong Address by r. G.
R. Gordon at the County
Court House.

Socialism and Bolshevism are one
and the same thing, according to F.
G. r. Gordon. secretary Of the Anti
Socialist society Of the United States,
who spoke on '"The Menace of Boil
shevism" at the Grand Forks county
court house Thursday evening under
the auspices Of the North Dakota
Tonight Mr.. Gordon will speak at
Portland, N. D., in the course of .
statewide tour now In progress;
In his address Thursday night Mr..
Gordon exposed the ruin which the
carrying out of Socialist theories had
wrought in many parts OF the world,
notably in Australia and New Zea-
Socialists in support of their propa-
ganda.
He also scored the United States
postal system, often cited as an ex-
ample Of successful government
ownership.
Mr.. Gordon said in part:
Socialism and Bolshevtsm.
THE Socialist theory is: That with
the growth and development tof, the
present system under which we have
made the most wonderful progress,
the struggle for existence blythe great
working Glars grows ever more and
more intense, that the wealth Of the
nation concentrates into fewer
hands, that the rich grow richer and
the poor grow poorer; that the once
powerful middle class as they say In
their platform. will be driven into
bankruptcy and finally disappear IN
the struggle, and then, society will be
confronted with two classes only, q
great and powerful working class de-
spoiled Of. all their wealth, of their
homes, of everything, while on the
other side will be the plutocracy
owning. all the means Of production
and exchange. and when this time

Supreme Court "Leaks.n

Washington, Dec. 16.-Department of Justice officials continued today their investigation of reports of all legged leaks" on supreme court de- cisions which are being used as tips for stock speculation. A minor off, cial of the department and an attache of the supreme court were implicat- ed in the charge, but Captain Burke, chief of the bureau of investigation of the Justice Department, declared that, so far, no basis for the charges had been discovered.
 In an oral statement last night, Gap tain Burke said that "Mr B. E.. Moses" with offices in the Munsey Building, Washington, had been re- ported by Marlin Pew, manager of the International News Service, for an alleged attempt to secure financial backing from q friend of Pew to play the stock market, on advance inf0rma- tion of supreme court decisions.
 Moses was interrogated by William Flynn. director of the bureau of .n- vestigation of the Department of Jus tice, Captain Burke said, and denied that he was getting his information from minor officials of the Department of Justice as was claimed, or that the latter was getting it in turn from in attache of the supreme court. He de- nied also there was a leak in the su- preme court.

AMERICANISM RANKS
 HIGH IN ARKANSAS
One Hundred Posts of the American Legion Already Organized
 What Ii Proposes.

Little Rock, Dee. 15.-There are one hundred posts of the American Legion already organized in Arkansas, and the movement is spreading rapidly over the state. One of the purposes of the legion 8 to work to insure 100 per cent Americanism. along the fol- lowing line:
 I. Detecting anti-American activ- ities everywhere and scizing every op- portunity everywhere to speak plain ly and openly for 100 per cent Amer icanism and for nothing else.
 ?. Making direct appeals to legal authority to take such lawful steps as may be necessary to correct local con- ditions everywhere.
 3. Making every member of each local post constructive force for the up-building of a vital knowledge of the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and of the process es of law and order obtaining under that Constitution.
 4. Showing to every person con- taminated by un-American prejudice that the welfare of all the people is really the best interest of any class and that government must be con ceived in terms of all the people and not for the benefit of relatively small classes

LIBERALS PlAN,TO
 END ALL POVERTY
No Excuse to Be Poor, According to Utopians in Convention at St. Louis The Dissolution of Monopolies
 the Cure.

St. Louis. Dec f0.-Dissolution of monopolies is the only solution of the economic and social problems facing the nation, according to the report of the program committee submitted to- day to the national conference of lib- erals in session here. The committee said it's report was designed to eradi- cate poverty and squalidness. The two principal political parties are ar raigned bitterly in it and while it was said the conference was not called to form new political party, the report declares that the growing control of basic resources and industries by the trusts has created the conviction that no relief can be secured except by the formation of new party
 There Is d widespread feeling the report continues, that there is no real difference between the old parties; that both are controlled by financial interests which constitute an invisible government unrepresentative of the peoplefSand for this reason an effec- tiyes. gfasrl~.iu. the public interest VIII not be formulated by either Of them at the coming national conven- tions.
 The report especially assails the slsnIl 1900 pus 5uIIHm no J9sq 'I99ls and asserts that by monopoliz.ng pat ents and the railroads these organi- zations have precluded all others from competing with them.
 Under public ownership of railroads this particular alleged monopoly would be broken and freight cars would be HiSstft hti+ed equally among all indus tries. the report says. and to break up the alleged patent monopoly it was suggested that all patents be open to use by anybody, by payment to the owner of a royalty to be fixed by the government.
 As an auxiliary means of dissolving these alleged trusts, the report sug- gests public ownership of all public utilities and food storehouses and abattoirs, as was urged by the tenta- tive platform presented last night, and demands that mo land. including nat ural resources, be held out of use for speculation or to aid monopoly"
 A more equitable distribution of wealth among those who contribute Co it's production is demanded but the report urges that thls be brought about orderly and not by the "destruc- tive process of revolution"

WORK TO PROCEED
 ON TALIHINA HIGHWAY
Funds Readily Raised to Keep Engin- eers at Work on the Road From
 Mena to Oklahoma Line.

Commissioners Emmett Rowe and w. J. Lauck of the Talihina highway, decided Friday to follow the plan of raising money for engineering work adopted by the Mena-Big Fork road commissioners. Arrangements were made with the First National Bank to advance the money on the security of fered by a group of interested citi- zens, and within a short ime the nee essary formalities were complied with. Those who signed the note were:
 w. J. Lauck. Emmett Rowe, H. w. Finger, R. Golf, J. H. Allen, J. F. Av- eritt, Fred Duke, T. A. Allen, l. O. Smith, l.. s. Watson, Grady Hand, Claude Williford, o. L. Henderson, Hugh w. Harrison, W. s. MacLatfer- ty, c. A. Proctor, H. w Roberts, Rob- ert M Berry, J. w. Frost, V. w. St. John, Grady H. Forgy, s. s. Buckley, V. B. Buckley.
 The Buckley-Forgy company en- gineers for the highway will start their field men at work surveying the first of the week, and it is believed by the time the coming. legislature passes new enabling act large part of the engineering work will be finished. The plan will avoid delay and in the opin- ion of those pushing the work, the l Talhina highway can be used before another winter comes.

PART OF OUR GREATNESS GONE
Arkansas Once Had Largest Apple
 Jack Distillery in World.

The arrest of three men charged with the theft of a barrel of brandy from the government warehouse at Rogers, reminds M. c. Latimer, third trick operator at the Kansas City Southern depot, of recent theft at Bentonville, where four barrels were taken and no one was arrested. MT. Latimer formerly lived in the apple country and he is authority for the statement that the apple jack distil- lery at Bentonville was one of the four things in which Arkansas ex- celled the world, it being the largest anywhere until the dry wave swept the country. The other remaining great things in the state are the pom toon bridge at Dardanelle, the dia- mond mines in Pike county, and Mt. Magazine in Logan, the highest peak in the United States between the Rockies and the Appalachian Noun tains.

GARFIELD QUITS
 NAlIONS
Believes Under Terms of Presidents Settlement of Coal Strike Prices Will Be Higher to Consum-
 ers-Hines Successor.

Washington. Dec. 12.-The resig- nation of Dr. Garfield as fuel admin istrator was forwarded to President Wilson this morning. Of course it will be accepted, it was said at the White House.
 Functions of the fuel administra- tor thru the railroad administration under Dr. Garfield's authority. will be continued under Director-General Hines, it was said. This does not ne- cessarily mean that Mir. Hines will be made fuel administrator in Dr. Gar fields place, it was added.
 Men close to the fuel administra- tor understand that he believes the work of the commission authorized under the settlement to be made up of one coal mine operator, coal min CT and third person named to rep resent the public, will result in an in- crease in the price of coal to the con- suming public.
 Against this form of settlement, Dr. Garfield has been unalterably op- posed, it has been learned on good au- thority that he took no part in the negotiation with the mine workers union chiefs during the last week, and that tho informed and consulted after their initiation, the terms laid out as finally accepted contravene his con- ception of the main principles in volved.

Supreme Court of the United States Declares Wartime Prohibition Law Constitutional-Kentucky Whisky
 Now in Jeopardy.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The wartime prohibition act was held constitutional today by the supreme court. The decision of the supreme court today deciding appeals from Kentucky and New York involving the constitu- tionality of the wartime prohibition act was read by Associate Justice Brandels
 Federal court decrees in New York l dismissing the proceedings brought | by Dryfoos, Blum & Company to com 1 pei internal revenue officials to per init the withdrawal from bond of i whiskey for beverage purposes were affirmed by the court. 1 In deciding the question the supreme l court also dissolved injunctions re- straining revenue officials from inter | fering with the removal from bond of about 10000 900 gallons of whiskey valued at approximately $75, 5,000,000 l held by the Kentucky Distilleries and Warehouse Company of Louisville, Kentucky.

 Justice Brandels said the govern ment did not appropriate the liquor by stopping it's domestic sale, as the way was left open for exporting 1T. The judgment of the court in the Kentucky and New York cases was unanimous.
 Justice Brandels said there was no basis for the contention that Presi- dent Wilson's statement in his mes sage vetoing the prohibition enforce ment act that the war had come to an end, was a proclamation announcing the termination of the war. In rendering it's opinion the court ! confined itself entirely to the wartime prohibition act and took no action on the so-calIed beer case which attacked the constitutionality of the prohibition enforcement act.

TWEED WAR PATRIOTISM NOW
Hays Also Urges Universal Justice in
 Industry.

Buffalo, N. r.. Dec. 15.--Appeal for patriotism in peace as well as in war" was made by Will H. Hays, Re publican national chairman, speaking at dinner of Erie County Republi- cans here tonight.
 sTf those hundreds of thousands of men and women who unselfishly car ried the burden of the war work can maintain some small part of the same interest in their country now" he said, it will bring to the situation an impetus for untold good"
 Mir. Hays reviewed the plan for the appointment of a committee on poli- cies and platform to meet before the national convention next year. Under lying that plan, he said, Is "the great fact that there rests on the Republi- can party the tremendous responsibil- ity of lifting America out of the slough into which the present administration has sunk 1t, and putting into force the which the present comprehensive program of wise constructive meas ures ever attempted in this republic" {"
 Discussing the industrial situation. Mir. Hays declared that the present difficulties would be solved in one way by finding exact justice and applying it.
 Tt is," he said, simply a matter of Roosevelt's square deal-exact justice for labor, exact justice for capital and exact justice for the public. the third side of the triangle which must not be lost sight of"

Prices Sent Higher by Orgy Strikes Highest
ARE YOU WORKING
 M THIS SP1RTT9

(From Manufacturers Record.)
 The world is short of food, and millions will starve; it is short of fuel, and millions will freeze; it is short of many products, and the shortage forces prices to ever higher figures.
 The world is short of work, and millions are idle when every idle hour increases starvation, in- creases the number who will freeze to death, will add to the cost of living and epdanger all governments and all civilization.
 Willing idleness today, by rich or poor, is criminality.
 Workers are needed as never before, and the work shirker is a stacker, criminal, eo-operator with the forces of starvation and freezing.
 Every man who fails to work his utmost in this crucial hour of world agony and threatened revo- lution is helping thereby to starve and freeze millions of helpless women and children, helping by his inaction when action is need ed to prevent chaos from engulf- ing the world.
 Before the judgment seat of a just God every soul shall some day stand and the light of eterni- ty shall illuminate the record of everyone. On that day shall the women and babies who died for lack of food and fuel point an ac- cusing finger at you and say, Had you worked and inspired others to work, we would not have died in hunger and cold!'
 How will you answer them. coal miner, food producer, merchant, manufacturer, teacher, preacher. day laborer, clerk or banker? !? Are you doing your utmost to relieve the world by work. work of brain and brawn, work to which you can look back with satisfaction on that great final day when some shall hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant" and others shall hear the just condemnation of just and righteous God?
 Work. and more work, work to the last ounce of strength and to the highest degree of efficiency; work such as the soldier gave on the battlefield amid the roar and crash of cannon and the death deoling rife and the hell-devised bomb; work in a spirit of sacri- flee and unselfishness; work, be- cause upon every mans work will rest in part the death or the life of some poor innocent sufferer this must be the inspiring thought in every mans life just now
 Profits and wages are not today the supreme issue. Both are im- portant, vital in their way, but they sink into insignifcance by the side of the mighty issue of saving the world from the forces of evil which fatten on the ago nies of the starving and freezing people.
 Are you working in this spirit?
