The Return of the Sword.

The British army order requiring all
"field marshals, generals and COLON
els. when djsmounted." to wear the
sword on all ceremonial parades and
at official ceremonies, has provided
material for the humOrsts. The
sword, having been superseded by 9th
er weapons for those who actually
come in contact with the enemy. and
being therefore doubly useless to Off
GERS of exalted rank who must renain
at a considerable distance from the
hand-to-hand engagements, had been
discarded during the war. But now
It returns with all it's faded glory for
times of peace and it's formidable
"clank" will once more accompany its
wearer's martial stride. However lu-
dicrous this may seem. it is apparent
ly to some extent unavoidable owing
to the forbidding ugliness of modern
engines of war-bombs, trench peri.
scopes, portable. machine guns and
the like, which are obviously less de-
sirable as emblems Of authority than
the graceful lines of the sword, the
scimitar and the halberd Of other
times.

INDUSTRIAL board VINDICATES
ACTS. ASSERTS K0SI7zK1

suEa OF .s2J.lGp clearly establish the
fals;tg Of these charges.
The fact that Governor Frazier has
deemed it necessary to transfer funds
fvOln the Bank of North Dakota to
:te. state general fund is positive
proof that such fund is absolutely de-
'pteted, for if the charges and insinua-
tons Of the Townley press. to the ef-
feet that I have juggled or misappro-
uriated the general fund of the state
were true then action could have been
started in the courts before this time
and. ! could have been compelled to
credit back to the general fund any
money wrongfully transferred from
such fund.
The sruth of the matter is that
every dollar that. belongs to the state
general fund is in that fund today and
if Townley and his press, Governor
Frazier or anyone else connected with
the administration, think otherwise let
them be men enough to go into the
courts of this state and prove their
malicious statements

Citizen Army Is Ppopos-
ed By National Guard

Washington,-Orga through
a new system of military training of a
great citizen army to be known as the
National guard corps, was proposed
today by the National Guard associa-
ton in statement made public
through the National Security league
Thirty divisions of the national corps
functioning as a separate corps Of
the United States army under the
direction of the secretary of war, is
proposed. Instead of subjecting all
19-year-old youths to a three months
course of intensive military training
as has been proposed by the war de-
partment, the guard association
would have military training a part
Of the public school system, with
youths entering when IA years of
age. After this preliminary training
would be given two months training
in the field, and then they would be
graduated into the guard, where they
would serve actively for two years and
nine months before being placed in
the reserve for three years. Estimat-
ing that 100000 youths would be grad
uated into the guard every year, the
statement said that after six years
we would have most efficient army
of three million of men, 100000 in
the so-called active service, and 1900,
900 in reserve, all of them graduates
of the training camps"

DEFEATS CHANGE IN DRY LAW
Refuses to Amend Prohibition En-
forcement Bill.

Washington, Sept. 6-Without roll
call the senate refused to amend the
prohibition enforcement bill SO as to
make it mandatory on the courts to
impose Jail sentences as we'll as fines
on convicted violators.
Senators Sterling. Thomas and Nc.
Cumber said discretion as to SEN
tences might safely be left to the
federal courts.
On motion of Senator Jones, Repub-
lican, Washington, the senate added
the Panama canal zone prohibition
bill to the enforcement bill. The zone
act applies to drug prohibition as we'll
as liquor, and Senator McCumber. Re-
publican, North Dakota, declared he
did not believe the United States. un-
der the treaty with Panama, had the
right to enact such legislation affect

EARLE n. TosTEvlN, SECRETARY
(chief inspector of the licensing dept.)

Bismarck, ND. 4 ,:SsE&<%,1
That Governor Lynn Frazier. could
be impeached for his Labor Day ad
dress is the assertion of lawyers of
Bismarck. Impeachment of Attorney
General William LANCER and State
Auditor Carl Kositzky has been adyo-
Gated by the. Townley Press, butt no
basis of Impeachment charges !ihas
been advanced. The Burleigh County
Farmers Press, a Townley sSorgan's
quotation of the governors Labor Day
address is as follows 3sf
"Our forefathers in 1776 HAD no
voice. in the taxes they had TO spsgssat
they organized the revolution and
broke away from tyranny. 1t was "a
just revolution. 1 hope to God we can
change things here by the use of the
ballot. I think we. can. But IF WE
CAN'T 1T MAY BE NECESSARY TO
HAVE ANOTHER JUST REyOLU-
TON"
Of the official books on file in the
office of Secretary of State Thomas
Hall, there is the following oath:
Il, Lynn Frazier of Hoople, N. D.,
do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I
will support the Constitution of the
United States and the Constitution of
the state of North Dakota, and that I
will faithfully discarge the duties of
the officer of governor according to-
the best OF my ability"
One jurist describes the oath as
meaning that the affiiant will not try
to overthrow the government by ply
sical force, countenance nor advocate
such action" =
In addition to this, scores of bills
passed by the 1919 session of the leg
islature are not only unconstitutional,
but as if they never had been passed
according to men who have been delv-
ing into the innermost secrets of Off
cial records, and if there be grounds
for impeachment of LANCER and Kosit-
zky, there are equal grounds for the
impeachment of Governor Lynn Fraz-
ier, Lieut.. Governor Howard Wood,
Railroad Commissioners C. F.. DuPuis
and Frank Milhollan, Larius Wehe of
the Workmen's Compensation Bureau
and Tax Commissioner George Wal
lace. - h. ss =: u5e =
Frazier and Wood did not file their
oaths Of office until February 1st. and
1t respectively, and in the meantime
Wood in the senate and the governor
signed many bills and made into law
statutes which legally they had not
right to sign. DuPuis and Milhollan
officiated without having filed the off
cial bonds and oaths, Wehe is claimed
to have. violated the laws in selling to,
the Bureau of which he is head, just
5000 worth Of furniture which he per.
sonally owned. Wallace is claimed to.

.IY.A,PLANS BIG OR. !. .
.GANIZA9I0N CAMPAIGN
p FOR WINTER MONTHS
= County Meetings Will be Held
During December And
s,- t1s,' =
January -

Plans are now being rapidly COM
pleted for an extensive organizing
campaign 70 further extend the Inde-
pendent Voters association, according
to an announcement in Fargo today.
The plans contemplate that local peo-
pie will take hand in the work in
their respective communities. They
will be aided by E. w. Everson, presi'
dent of the association, and number
of other men who will make that their
special business this fall. Arrange
ments are being made with a number
of such men now, all of whom are
citizens of North. Dakota.
=, The campaign will not begin until
most of the threshing is out Of the
way, so that farmers and business
men may not be annoyed while they
are rushed. The campaign of organ
ization will be pushed before cold
weather sets in so that all of the
Anti-Townleyites in every county that
are willing to do their bit to eradicate
Towleyism in the state, will be bound
together in a compact organization
by December.
County Meetings Planned
County meetings will be held during
the months of December and January.
The annual state meetings will be held
in January. At this meeting five state
executive committeeman are to be
elected to take the places of five
whose term of office expire at that
time. Other matters that will have a
serious bearing on the future welfare
of North Dakota will also be taken
up at that meeting.
A general conference Of county CON-
mitteemen, will be held in November
to consider the question of whether
or not to initiate any legislation to be
voted on at the March elections.
This, decision to push organization
work is the result OF. a scouting tour
among the farmers of seven, counties,
which. the president of the association,
e. w. Everson of Walum, completed
last week. He reported that many
who voted for the: Townley laws last
spring had now expressed that they
would vote the other way if they had
another chance.
r Mr.. Everson now is touring another
section of the state.
