The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1919-03-06
POLITICIANS NOTICE.!

'Inasmuch as most good things are produced
by labor, it follows that all such things ought to
belong to those whose labor has produced them.
But it has happened in all ages of the world
that some have labored, and others, without Ia
Dor, have enjoyed a large proportion of the
fruits. This is wrong and should not continue.
To secure to each laborer the whole product of
his labor as nearly as possible is a worthy OBJ
ject of any good government. LINCOLN.
It has been harvest time at Bismarck the past
week. After four years of careful preparation
of the ground, planting of sturdy stock, cult
walton, and protection from pests and vermin,
the fine young tree has blossomed and borne
goodly fruit, returningto the farmer a yield of
a hundred-fold. And it is still a young tree that
can be depended upon to yield bigger and bet
ter harvests as the years go by and to spread
it's branches until all the states can rest in it's
shade and eat of it's fruit. But it will require
continued cultivation and care if it is to reach
it's full maturity, even though the most critical
period of it's growth is now safely passed.-For-
hes Sentinel.
The Courant would like some one of the op-,
position in Bottineau and vicinity, who decry
every measure the Nonpartisan League has
tried to put through, and who claim to belong
; to the Independent Voters Association, which
endorses or claims to stand for terminal eleva-
tors, mills and other principles of the League,

looks to us, and their speech is the best evidence
that they would even betray the program they
claim to stand on which is being held out as a
bait to the farmers for votes. 1t looks as tho
their program is elet us get our feet in the
trough, we are getting thin"
While announcing daily the impending fun
eral of the Nonpartisan league, the anti-farmer
gang leaders are preparing for a still harder
fight They well know that they can not do
anything for the farmers without sacrificing
special privilege, a thing they can not and will
not do. Hence there is a growing reason for the
League. The real opinions of the birds Of prey.
should be judged by their actions rather than by
their songs.
Several prominent business men Of Bottineau
have expressed themselves very forcibly lately
against a referendum election, and that they
certainly would neither sign q petition or were
what they could to discourage any such action.
They are convinced that the present legislature
passed good laws and want to see them given q
fair trial.
