DEBS GOES TO JAIL

The federal supreme court having decided that his
conviction and sentence are valid, Eugene v. Debs will
spend some years in prison as a punishment for his ut
terances which were intended to obstruct the government
Of the United States in its prosecution of the war.
Debs has made no secret of the fact that he was
an enemy of the American government as at present
constituted. He does not believe in the American con-
stitution, and says so, and he is in favor of destroying it
by violence, and Of overturning the government which
exists under its authority, if those ends cannot be at
tanned by other means.
Debs will be held by his devoted followers to be a
martyr. He is nothing of the sort. But he does differ
from some Of those who have initiated him up to a GER
tain point in that he has not attempted any denial of the
facts in his case. He did not preach sedition and then,
when called to account, attempt to twist his words into
the appearance of loyalty. He was and is a seditionist,
out and out; he remained SO without concealment or
evasion: and he takes his medicine. His ofense is not
to be excused or palliated, but he has not aggravated
it by adding to it the contemplate hypocrisy that has
characterized the attitude Of some Of his followers.

THAT BANKING RESOLUTION

The resolution adopted by the state banking board,
and just published by the states attorney of this and
other counties, warning the public against fake promoters
with worthless stocks to sell, was adopted by the board
as a result of the Valley City banking deal which has
aroused so much comment, and which is not in process
of Investigation by the federal authorities.
The warning is timely and pertinent, and it was
wisely made in the interest of the public. 1t is to be
noted that while the resolution itself has been made public
the testimony which led up to its adoption is withheld by
the state bank examiner, according to his own statement
because Of his determination to protect Townley. Re-
gardless of the efforts of Mr.. Waters in the direction OF
suppression Of facts which might reflect on his friend,
all Of this testimony which has public value will be made
public. Whether or not it is important the public will
be interested in reading it.

COMMUNITY SPIRIT EXEMPPLIFIED

It would be ditncult to imagine a better exemplia-
cation Of the real community spirit than that (which was
given at the Cavalier county Midwinter fair Just closed
at Langdon. The association having this work in charge
mas been in existence several years. and its gatherings
have always been successful. Without question the most
successful meeting Of the entire series was that Of this
year.
In a material way the exhibits were decidedly cred
liable. and had high value in demonstrating the fertility
OF Cavalier county's soil, and the industry of her people.
as well as their resourcefulness in applying to the indus
tries In which they are engaged the best methods of pro-
.ducuon and general treatment. AS the outgrowth, lin
part, of the series of fairs, there is a noticeable improve
ment from year to year in the quantity and quality OF
the products Of the county. and from this standpoint
alone the work done has shown itself to be well worth
while.
But in another direction the good work, that has
been done is of equal or superior value. The very foun-
dation for the fairs has been the spirit Of cooperation
among the various individuals and. groups Of the COM
munity, and, based on that spirit, the work has been con-
Quoted in such a manner as to arouse the interest ana
enlist the sympathy of farmers, merchants, professional
people-infact of all the members of that great commune
ity. That has resulted in the stimulation of the COM
munity spirit, and in the growth Of mutual respect. and
confidence, and an appreciation of the fact that no mat
ter in what occupations they may be engaged, our people
have common interests, and are brothers and sisters
under the skins"
Appreciation of the fine work that has been done at
Iangdon in this direction carries with it recognition OF
the earnest and intelligent efforts of the committees and
officials having charge of the various branches Of work.
Without other compensation than the qualification that
comes from the performance of a worthy work. men and
women alike have labored without ccasing to make the
fair a success, and in doing this they have performed a
valuable service, not only to their own community, but
to the general public.

PICKING DAISIES

State Treasurer Olson, who, with Attorney General
LANCER and State Auditor Kositzky, declares his disap-
prevail Of some of the bills passed by the legislature, ana
SO declares himself to be still in full sympathy with the
spirit and purpose Of the Nonpartisan league. He points
out what cannot successfully be denied, that these bills
are in no way part of the league program. but were
Matched by one man for the purpose of rewarding his
friends. Mr.. Olson in a rather picturesque way COM
pares the league to a football player who, with the ball
under his arm is racing for the goal, and who has not
time to stop and pick daisies for his friends as he goes.
This picking of daisies has been quite a favorite &C.
cupation in some circles. In the matter of newspapers
Mr.. Brinton has become the personal owner of, some
fifteen or twenty newspapers scattered throughout the
state, to say nothing of the papers that have been
brought up by others on the strength of prospective leg
islation. Brinton is the close associate of Townley, and
it was quite natural that he should be the recipient of
floral favors in the shape of newspaper legislation which
would freeze out his competitors and make his own pa
pers exceedingly good revenue producers through their
handling of public business.
There is the banking deal, in which Hastings was
the agent selected for the handling Of the work. Under
his administration several stunts were pulled off, includ-
ing the notorious Valley City bank deal. out of which
a handsome profit was made at the expense of minority
stockholders-a rather neat bit of jobbing. But Hastings
talked too much, and was suddenly pulled in to head
quarters where he could be better watched.
Mr.. Macdonald's floweret was the educational bill,
although they do say that Mac wouldn't have played
this game if he had not been egged on. However, in
part to reward Macdonald and in part to punish other
people the bill was dumped on the legislature, and there
it is.
These little botanical essays Of the boss seem to be
productive of hay fever.

to beg and plead for permission to

OPENING THE RHINE

One Of the suggestions that comes from Paris, and
which Il said to have received rather favorab BILE considera-
ton at the hands Of the peace conference is that the river
Rhine be opened to the commerce of the world.
Switzerland has a decided interest in the subject, and
the opening of the waterway means a great deal to her.
Asst matter Of fact. there is in existence a treaty between
Germany and Switzerland under which the latter country
is given free navigation rights on the lower river. This
treaty has been ignored in the customary manner, and,
without actually repudiatns it, Germany has. by neglect

TRUTH.

Some are asked to die for truth.
Asked to sacrifice their youth
And their fondest dreams to u
That q principle shall live;
Bravely to their deaths they so,
Singing, cheering, though they know
From the fields of cruel pain
They shall never come again.
Others are not asked to die
That the Flag of Truth shall fly
Are not asked to suffer pain
Or to face deaths leaden rain
That a principle Of right
Shall not be destroyed by might;
They may pay an easier price =
On the fields of sacrifice.
They are asked in days of stress
To forget their own success,
Putting selfish interest by
That the Flag of Truth shall fly;
They are asked to rise above
Petty gain and sordid love
And accept Truths judgment new
AS the men of battle do.
! When the old gives way, tits then
| Freedom makes her call for men;
Then it is she cries aloud
To the mighty and the proud,
Asking them to sacrifice
| Old advantage, as the price
OF establishing the truth
Purchased by the blood Of youth.
Shall we be less brave than they
Sleeping there in France today?
Shall our only heroes be
Those who died to set men free,
Or shall we, not asked to die,
Put our selfish interest by
And for Freedoms splendor new
Make some sacrifices, too?~
