HYPOCRISY TO ASK
DIVINE BLESSING.

Senators Oppose Use of Name of
God in Treaty; the Most Goddess
Document in History, Says, Sem
,Gator Sherman.
The amendment offered by Senator
Lawrence 7. Sherman, of Illinois, to
make some reference to God in the
Peace Treaty, was defeated in the
/. , Senate lest week by c vote Of 81 to
27. Senators Borah, Lodge and Thomas
opposed the amendment, while Senator
Sherman was the only one to speak in
Favor of its adoption.
Senator Borah declared that it would
ioe a sacrilege to invoke the Divine
blessing upon the treaty. 1T is found
ed on oppression" the Senator said.
1T depends and rests upon military
&orce. If it is carried out, it will deprive
millions of people Of their liberty for
all times to come; and in my judgment,
aHhile | know that men equally honest
and sincere differ with me, if it. is carried
sorus it will destroy this Republic. i do
not therefore, propose to vote for an
amendment which in any way recog-

instrument. From my standpoint it
would be mockery. z

JOHN BULL CHANGES ATTITUDE.

Lloyd George has recently said some
things in parliament about Russia
which leads newspaper men to prophe-
=sy a change in Great Britain's atti-
Eude- He has found that it costs the
country several million dollars a day,
u a good deal more than England's
1faly deficit. He has discovered that
-an immense army would be needed to
7ntervene in Russia properly and that
al who have interviewed in this vast
territory past and present have failed.
Perhaps the politician, unlike the
leopard, can change his spots, but one
would be foolish to assume a real change

Labor has become so strong politically
that the prime minister is planning a

ago an English king met rebellious mob
with the question as to where they were
going and the statement that if they
were going anywhere it was his place

somewhere. Lloyd George wants to
lead it for the same reason that the
ancient king wanted to lead.
Also, the immediate purposes Of
English imperialism have probably been
zact.leved in Russia. The Yankee traders
have been kept out of Siberia and
~3aranese penetration there is complete.
Witness how Our city press have sud-
denly discovered this clever defeat
of Our millionaire diplomats! AlsoaEng-

Indians are excluded by law from inn

smashed into cottage like goat but

going through the matched roof and
his rudder cooking up in the air. The
solitary pilot was pitched into a cor

half dozen fussy hens scolded him,
and very angry and very determined
old lady came out Of the cottage to
investigate him.
She was typical Flemish dame,
massive Of build, tenacious in charac-
ter and practical in all things. Delib-

vanced on the dazed airman. She
caught him by the collar of his tunic.
She shook her fist in his face, and she
asked him in the incisive vernacular
Of the Flemish peasant what he
meant by smashing up her house. She
ordered him to look at the mess he
had made, calculated the cost and de-
manded payment, all in a breath. She
heaped insults on him, his parents and
his airplane.
As she talked all the glory of war
and the spirit Of conquest evaporated
from the flying Hun. He shrank till
he looked like small boy caught in
a mean theft; his airplane, with its
gaudy splashes, resembled a broken
toy, and he tugged ruefully at his hair,

cautiously away.

COMPARE THESE TWO
ORGANIZATIONS

The Pioneer Express has from time to
time published articles showing the in
consistency of the managers of the Nom
partisan League in this state. In maxi
ing these criticisms we have been &C.
tuated by no personal motives but to
give our readers facts which we know to
be true. The Nonpartisan press have
taken exceptions to what we have said
which would only be natural. But as
time rolls on these self constituted lead.
ers OF the Nonpartisan League cannot
conceal their personal motives and we
predict it will not be long before the pub
lie will cut off their annual contribu.
tions.
Just now there are series of articles
being published in the Country Gentle
man, q nanpolitical publication, which
gives a comparison between the Nom
partisan League Of North Dakota and
the Grain Growers Association of west
ern Canada. The comparison is made
to show that the League is being run by
halt dozen self constituted leaders
while the Grain Growers Association Of
Manitoba and Saskatchewan is being
run by farmers, independent Of politics.
In the one the money goes to the leaders
while in the other the money is being
invested in property owned by the farm
or. One publishes paper full Of ridi-
cule and pictures such as are beng u.s.
ed in "funny papers" to amuse children
while the other prints the Graingrowers

their money goes. Here is an extract

The steamer swiftly glides on
down the calm Potomac whose banks .

On the right bank is manson,

elm and wild locust. The august spot
is revered.
High on a pole the Stars and

but obscured from the river by the

We are now sixteen miles down the
