administration we are blessed with
in North Dakota. We have a lot of
professional soap-boxers in this state
some residents and some merely
sojourners-who would come in on
this appropriation. They would
draw fat salaries. The appeal to
them has not been in vain. They
are for the farmers program. OF
course they are.
They are dangling state owned ell
evators and state owned flour mills
in front of every town of any conse-
quence, in hope of getting the inhab-
itants to support the s%o-called League
program. An attempt is being made
in each town mentioned" to make it's
people believe that it will be in the
special privilege" class. At the
same time the voters of these towns
are told through the columns of the
League papers that it would never do
to locate either a mill or an elevator
in an "unfriendly" town. In other
words the town must vote for Town
leyism.
The state-owned bank is another
special privilege proposition. They
have located this institution 'tempor-
arily" at Bismarck, but have let it
become known through their news
papers that the institution is on
wheels; ready to be relocated in
friendly territory. The eligible
town knows what that 1t
means nothing more or less than
votes for Townleyism. The appeal
to these towns is not made on the
merits of the bill. 1t is merely put
ting the institution on the auction
block; the town making the best
showing for Townleyism at the cleo
tion to take it. A few people in each
one of the eligible towns have been
caught on it. The bank is made to
lido double work. 1t is also batting
IA few-very few-bankers who feel
that they will be On the inside; either
with a view Of getting a good position
with the institution or faring liberal
lily in the matter of loans.
Farmers who have suffered from
drought and who are financially en-
barrassed are told that they will be
taken care of at the expense of the
other fellow.
All the way through, it will be
seen, that the League leaders are
tempting the voters with the special
privilege proposition. Never in the
history of the state has the game
been worked so strongly. And still
the League leaders are having their
kept newspapers cry special privi-
llege.". But the people are giving
a good deal Of study to these mea-
~sures, and will not let the Townley-
ties fool them again with such a cry
independent.

When winter is past-the less said

And spring is here with her warm,

IT'S then of Steele avenue walks we
are proud,
While out on ingalls, we can walk

Where we like to walk if we are

And have been here quite a number
Of years,
And have farmed and cooked and
taught district school
And can handle a horse and even
a mule.
But, Inn I'm forgetting my sub
ject quite,
And back to my alleys and streets
must go,
For duty calls us to treat them right,
Through summers mud and whit
er's snow.
Twas nobody's biz, in years gone by,
If you MIXED your COWS on the
best thoroughfare,
And prize pigs thrived in green grass
style,
For germs lurked not in Dokota's
pure air.
But times have changed in this little
old burg,
An alderman lives in every ward,
A civic committee is in our club,
And we have a mayor of whom we
r proud.
Our aldermen mean to do their best
Then let Mrs. Wheeler do the rest,
For if chairman of a committee you
happen to be
You have to say Come to the rest

And talk and suggest and scold ant

To encourage us all to do our part,
To clean up the town and cheer vi

Paper burners we know how to use
Kill the fly and bury the refuse,

And pass it along to your handy dray

Now, let us hope in this new year,
So full of promise for peace ant

That our streets without paper ant

Ever since the Nonpartisan League
was organized, the people of North
Dakota have heard about the far
reaching and %deleterious effects of
special privilege. Those of the in
ner circle of the League have never
tired of harping on it. 1t has been
the main slogan of their campaign.
1t has served them we. in two pri-
maries and two general elections.
Another election is coming on now
Ia referendum election. What is
the situation now in regard to special
privilege? What do we find
We find the League bosses playing
up to special privilege in every pos
sible way and employing every re-
source at their command. 1t is their
one hope of carrying the referendum
election.
The most notorious-the most out
rageous-of their appeals to special
privilege is the newspaper law. 1t
absolutely discriminates against ev-
cry newspaper excepting those Of the
Townley controlled press. That is
what the effect of the law will be if
it is sustained at the election. The
Townleyites have control and after
July LIST will name their own papers
regardless of what the people of the
various counties may think about it.
No matter how much merit may be
back of the claims of any n Of the
independent newspapers, it will not
be considered. The legislators made
no secret of it when they put the bill
through.
The I. w. w. (immigration) bill
is another appeal to special privilege.
The bill is %ostensibly an immigration
measure. But that is not the real
purpose of the law. When the bill
was attacked on the floor of the house
some of the ~hot-headed supporters OF
the measure came out in the open
and told what the object of the bill
was. They said the present state
regime had been maligned by the pa.
pers of the neighboring states. They
wanted 5000, 900 with which to send
speakers into these states, and in
form the people about what a good

PRINCE HELPS
Girl WIN BET
Admits He Is the Real Article When
Questioned by Bathing Girl
and She Gets Dime.

Halifax, N. s., Aug. 1S.-Wel-
coined by a royal salute, from the
citadel, the prince of Wales, who
arrived here yesterday from st.
John, N B., debarked from the bat
tie cruiser Renown at 10 o'clock
this morning to be formally receiv-
ed by a guard of honor from the
royal Canadian garrison artillery
and escorted to the provincial build
ing.
When the prince came ashore to-
day, he stepped off the marble slab
which marked the landing of the
late King Edward VII, the royal
standard was thrown out from the
landing stage masthead. Premier
Murray, Lieutenant Governor Grant,
officials of the city and officers of
Italian and French warships greet
ed the royal visitor.
Tells of His "War Bit"
The prince in his reply to ad-
dresses made in behalf of the pro-
vincial and Halifax governments,
referred to the modest part" which
he was able to play in the war.
Il can assure you that 1 value no
part of that experience so highly as
the close contact into which it
brought me with the splendid troops
of all ranks sent by the dominions
to France" he added.
Several stories were told to illus
trate the democratic mannerisms of
the prince. One concerned his in
formal visit ashore yesterday and
his pleasure in helping a young
woman win 10-cent wager.
Admits He's the Real Thing.
Strolling along the beach attired
in civilian dress and attended by
members of his staff he watched
three young women bathers. One
emerged from the shadows and ad-
vanced toward him saying:
Are you the prince of Wales?'
He replied with a smile that he
was. but this did not quite convince
his fair interrogator. who followed
with Are you sure you are2'
When he had solemnly reassured
her with a second affirmative she
confded to him that her name was
Daphne and that when she saw him
and his party coming towards the
beach she had wagered 10 cents that
he was the prince.
'Sure Wen Meet Says Girl.
After a few moments of pleasant
chatting, he bade her good-day and
politely expressed the hope that
they might meet again, to which
came the quick response, "SuPe,
we'll see each other tomorrow"
