LONDON GREETS GRENADIERS
Only ~ Survived Great War and Take
Part In Homecoming Welcome.

LondOn-The Second battalion of
the Grenadier guards received an Ell
thusiatic welcome on It's return to
London from Germany. Although no
ceremonies had been arranged and the
hour Of arrival was uncertain, I'M
mense crowds assembled ut st. Pan
cras station.
The only indication that something
unusual was happening was the pres
ence of massed bands which played:
"See, the Conquering Hero Comes,"
as the men left their train. Gen.
Fielding, commandant Of the London
district, welcomed the battalion in be-
half Of the king, and then the guards
began a triumphal march across Lon
don to Chelsea barracks.
OF the original unit that left Eng
land in 1914, only twelve men sur
vived to take part in this great home
coming.

COAL MINE DEATH TOLL 2575
In Giving Figures Secretary Lane
Praises Work Of Men During
War,

Washington.-Casualties in Amer
lean coal mines in 1918, reported to
Secretary Lane by the bureau of mines,
included 2,575 men killed.
"This Is the penalty paid by one
peaceful industry during n year Of
war;" said Secretary Lane. ut empha-
sizes the fact that the miner braved
perils as did the soldiers at the front.
I'm winning the war the brilliant
achievement OF the American coal
miner will always stand FORTH"
There was q decrease Of 233 deaths
from explosions of gas and coal dust,
Mr.. Lane said, and the total Of fatali-
ties was proportionately less than in
previous years.

wreck the thrsshing machines. Fine
fellows, these friends of Arthur Town
ley. But as already remarked, we
have no serious labor problem in
North Dakota. Everybody is farming
or doing some business or service con-
nected with the farm. Back east,
however, there is q continual labor
problem and many laborers, good, bad
and Indifferent. Millions of men all
classed as laborers, either because
they work, ought to work or bluff at
working. These millions hate in all
lands at all times always included a
certain down and out element which
consists of criminals, crooks and vag-
abonds. The real laborer who attends
to business and is on the up
grade Is too busy to talk, hold meet
ing or bother other elements which
are not afraid Of work. Others have
time to patronize saloons and other
cumming places and consider the
wrongs inflicted on them by men who
work, save and are successful. Among
this latter crowd was born Bolshevism,
Nthilism, I. w. W.-ism and all the
coarser forms of socialism. all doc
trines by which a way is found to
give the nan who doesn't care to
work the blessings that honest labor
generally enjoys, such as home, food,
clothes, etc. In order to curry favor
with this bunch Of radicals and also
to prove to the laboring masses back
east that it would be better to follow
Haywood, Debs and Townley than
Gompers and the real leaders of hon
est labor, the farmer legislature was
ordered by Arthur Townley to enact a
series Of labor laws, such as eight-hour
day for clerks in villages Of over 500
population. labor indemnity, labor
home building, anti-injunction laws.
None of these affect the farmers, nor
was there any call for them with the
possible exception of the indemnity
! law. But Arthur Townley needed
these laws. Agitators Of his stripe
are always on the lookout for a mob
which they might lead. The most
easily led portion of society, especial
ly into criminal or semi-criminal lanes,
has always been the down and out
element, to which the least thoughtful
portion of real labor frequently may
be added for a short time. Farmers
are not material for mobs. You can
not make a mob of capitalists. All
farmers are capitalists. Arthur Town
ley knows this. But farmers can bs
w%heedled and fooled to furnish the
money necessary agitators while they
organize their forces. Besides having
paid their money for Townley wisdom,
they will at least stay quiet for a
while. Otherwise they would be the
first to rebel against the destruction
Of property or its coniscation. The
farmers w property, want more
property, believe in working hard to
get property. They do not want the
l. w. w. disorders, they do not want
disturbance and uncertainty. That be-
ing the case, why in the name of com
mon sens should they furnish Town.
ley with the e to create it? Go
wherever the doctrines Of Socialism,
Communism, Bolshevism or Townley-
ism have been tried in part fully and
you find riot, arson, malicious destruc-
ton Of property, and murder.
In line with his lifelong habit of
plunging and gambling, Arthur Town
ley is playing a wild game for mob
support, and the North Dakota farm
ers are his tools and dupes.

WHO'S FRED?

When poor old John Ogden was
State superintendent Of Public In
struction, Fred Cathro was his deputy.
John was old, impractical and a
dreamer. Fred was young and prac-
tical and has always claimed the
credit for John Ogden's administra-
ton. OF course much has been done
towards organizing the States school
affairs by Captain Mitchell, who died,
but much was left to do. As Secre-
tary of the Board Of University and
School Lands, John Ogden, alias Fred
Cathro, aided and abetted in paying
to outside bankers over $780, 900 in pre-
miums on school lands on a basis of 4
percent. while they charged our w
districts 6 percent interest. This was
was rotten and helped the Populists
to kick John, Fred and all others out
Of Office In 1892. Fred withdrew to
the banking field. Here he organized
the State Bankers Association, the or
g%anization that Townely and his st.
Paul orators have poured their walls
Of wrath on during the past year.
Nothing stimulated their holy anger to
such flights Of fancy as the Bankers
Association. All last campaign Fred
Cathro's creation was damned from
the Badlands to the Red as bitter
enemies Of the organized farmers"
And, now, this same Fred Cathro is
"organizing" the State Bank, hired by
Waters, who was made by Frazier,
who was made by Townley. In sack
cloth and ashes. 1t would seem, Fred
is doing pennance for all his sins and
evil deeds, by helping this bunch Of

Fred Cathro can do. We know how

past work and by the sad tale Of state

fere ours, how much Fred's new ere

LAWS ENACTED FOR CAMPAIGN PURPOSES

Teachers are %repressed in u state
and other states, says the Courier
News. That's strange. Considering
that over Is percent Of our teachers
are working for farmer school boards
and that practically every one of them
hopes to teach in town some day be-
cause they get better pay, this fact
put forth by the Courier-News is very
remarkable. Does the Courier:News
mean to say that the farmers are mig
gardly and stingy and do not want to
pay for their children's education?
Didn't the last farmer" legislature
rise and save the girls from more
than eight hours work in all villages
of over five hundred? OF course it
was noticeable that they didn't pre-
scribe this etght-hour law for farmers
wives and daughters, who frequently
work from fifteen to twenty hours a
day several months of the year. Since
higher wages are due the teachers, and
no n doubts that and since eight
hours is a good day for village girls,
and no one doubts that, and since the
nomadic bunch Of reformers told said
farmer" legislature what and what
not to do, and no one doubts that,
may we not" to quote our absent
President, ask why did that said
bunch fail to raise the teachers salar-
les by fixing a minimum wage and why
did they not help out the farmers
wives and daughters? We should hate
to think that this was political revenge
because SO many Of these two classes
voted for Miss Nelson. We should
also hate to believe that it was COW
ardice, a fear to NEEDLE with the
farmers" affairs. No, it couldn't be
that, because they were liberal with
the farmers, especially when it came
to inventing new and interesting tax
laws.
Well, probably it was just the same
weakness that gets most other reform
ers. This notorious Bunch Of reform
ers finds it much easier to regulate
and reform others than to regulate
and reform their own crowd, because
they do claim that they own the farm
ers Of this State body, boots and
breeches and can do with them as they
please, deliver them to the /. w. W.,
get their money, run the State into
millions Of debt, etc. Oh, we've got
it! OF course they could have raised
the teachers wages and given the
farmers wife and daughter an eight
hour day, without compelling her to
seek it in town, but these two classes
were not entitled to it. They had not
paid the $1,000. See?
But the clerks in town had not paid
$1,000. you say. Why were they en-
titled to consideration? That's entire.
ly a different story.
Here in North Dakota everybody
works and nearly everybody is a cap
italist on a larger or smaller scale. We
really have no labor problem, especial.

the I. w. w. that they should charge
the farmers only $500 a day for farm
work. This they did and then pro.

There never was 4 set Of cranks
yet who didn't try to steal the schools.
He who has the schools has the fu.
ture. Temperance instruction pre-
coded saloon destruction. But North
Dakota schools have never been the
victims Of cranks, and Judging by the
united front Of the educational forces,
they won't be either. Children should
not be bothered with Socialism. It's
bad enough to bother grown-ups.
