TASK NOW TO SOLVE
IMPORTANT PROBLEMS


The United States bureau of educa.
ton has issued a special bulletin on
Americas part in the great war, for
circulation in the schools of this coun-
try. Special emphasis is given to the
Importance of the problems of recon
struction. The bulletin says:
''The war has made the world safe
for democracy only in the sense that
the door has been opened, that the
path has been cleared Of all obstacles
set up by autocratic governments. The
establishment of just democracy is
still to be accomplished.
What the war has accomplished
is to win for the world the opportunity
to work out the problems Of demo-
cracy unha1npered by the forces of
autocracy. This task is ours and will
extend through the years. Patriotic
duty to our country and our. obligation
to the new world demand that we
should work at it now and for years
to come with redoubled energy, and
with unaninity no less complete than
that with which we have waged war;"

RESTORE FREE SPEECH.

Constitutional rights of freedom OF
speech, of the press and assemblage
can never safely be abridged in Amer
lea.
Suppression breeds dangerous dis
content y. This is recognized by the
American Federation of Labor's re-
construction program when it says:
'The very life and perpetuity OF
free and democratic institutions are
dependent upon freedom of speech, OF
the press and assemblage and associ-
alton.
eve insist that all restrictions of
freedom of speech, press, public as
sembly, association and travel be
completely removed, individuals and
groups being responsible for their ut
terances.
''These fundamental rights must be
set out with clearness and must not
be denied or abridged in any man.
ner."
There is whole sermon too clear
and concise to need Interpretation.
If those we'll intentioned persons
who would suppress freedom of ex-
preston in America would devote an
hour to reading what happened in
Germany under the 'iron laws" they
would unhesitatingly approve of the
program utterances.

HEADING OFF REVOLUTION.

The Non-Partisan League legisla-
ture of North Dakota is getting lot
of abuse from the big city daily news
papers these days. The legislature
seems to be doing a lot of things out
of the ordinary for legislatures. It
seems to be rushing pell-mell into the
extreme of reform, which is to be ex-
pected of state that has been from
its inception under the domination of
the old Mckenzie machine-the polit-
1cal arm of the Great Northern rail-
road.
- There are lot Of things to do in
North Dakota to set the political
house in order, as there will probably
be in Minnesota when the old guard
shall have been put out of politics.
and if we mistake not that day is
near at hand. When stubborn Tory
ism is driven from power it usually
brings on the extreme. of reform. And
the farmers of North Dakota are now
trying to undo in one legislative ses-
sion that which it took the old ma
chine more than quarter Of century
to put on. 1t is big job, and no
doubt the corns of some mighty big
fellows are being stepped on in the
rush to complete it.
The farmer legislature is doing one
thing, at least, that is attracting
nationwide attention. 1t has real
antidote for Bolshevism and in fact
for all impatient agencies that would
force a revolution in America. Il
proposes to build homes for it's citi-
zens. If resident of North Dakota
has piece of land or a city lot all
paid for, and he desires to build a
the money for the purpose, providing
he can put up 20 per cent Of the
cash. He may have 40 years to pay
the loan which will earn very low
rate of interest. The bill on this sub
ject is now well on it's way to pas
sage.
A nation of home owners will think
long time before destroying a gov
eminent that gives them title to their
property. They have too much al
stake. 1t is to be hoped that North
Dakota will give the project a fair
trial. We want to see it work. and
If it proves successful we know OF
another state that is rich enough to
take 1t up.

FGkERT Ex0NERlT|0N +. !.
EXPECTED, SAYS EDITOR

The San Francisco Call assumes an
'I-to1d-you-so" attitude ON the grand
jury exoneration Of District Attorney
Fickert, who was charged with i'm
proper conduct in the Mooney trial
by Director General Densmore of the
United States employment service.
''The grand jury" says the Call,
"has 'Yindicated' Fickert again. No.
body who knew anything about the
grand jury expected anything else.
The evidence against Fickert in the
Densmore report was. to put it mild
~, considerably stronger than any of
against the defendants in the bomb
cases, but that made no difference.
The grand jury might have censured'
the district attorney had he gone be-
fore 1t. and made q full confession
of everything that has ever been
charged against him, but one cannot
be sure Of that. Possibly it would have
contented itself with reproaching him
gently for being morbidly conscien-
tious.
Two different government investi-
cations had led to the conclusion that
the bomb case convictions were not
1egitimately obtained. The trial judge
in the Mooney case had been con-
WINGED of the same thing. President
Wilson had been convinced, as his re-
peated-and fruit1ess-appeal to Gov
ernor Stephens showed. Every i'm
partial investigator Gone might almost
say every Investigator who looked
carefully into the case without the
bias of local interests) has reached
the same conclusion. The grand
jury's members acted as their inclina-
lions, their associations, their attitude
toward the Mooney case led them to.
They wanted to whitewash Fickert.
And they did.

THE PRICE WE PAY.

Millions have been anxiously scan

war, seeking always something they
fear and hope they will not find
Americans have found the names
Of over 100000 dead and wounded

That is one part OF the price we

for freedom of the world. Other ma
lions have suffered still greater losses
that they might escape bondage.
The worlds wartime casualty lists
have been heavy-so have the cas-

That is another price we pay-the

PERIL OF Unemployment.

: Unemployment is due to under
consumption. Underconsumption is
due to low or insufficient wages"
says the American Federation of La
Dor reconstruction program.
Here is lesson in political econ
omy of more value than all contained
in many musty tombs.
If the wages of the worker are not
relative; if they are insufficient to
enable him to buy back enough Of his
products to keep above the existence
line then will come the inevitable
period of industrial stagnation and
unemployment.
This is the biggest single thought
that has bees offered to the workers
in a generation.
1t Is modern school political econ
omy stripped of all persiflage and put
in simple form. It is not decorative
language. 1t is sound facts.
IL "oSCo al ~" dAu " 1CcS StuU-
bornly high commercial depression
inevitably follows.
When this simple but powerful
truth soaks through the darkened
brains of the advocates of slower
wages without a relative price basis
there will be less inclination to rock
the boat.
The program points out, in connec-
ton with the fact that ability to con-
sumo is controlled by the wages re-
ceived, that a home market can be
created that will surpass any market
that can exist elsewhere.
Attention Is also called to the fact
that any effort to solve the problem
by providing temporary public work
will be merely begging the question.
Among the returning soldiers are
many skilled workers and profess
sional men who had. about all the
pick and shovel work they want.
These men want to return to their
homes and their jobs and it will be
a period fraught with great peril to
any nation that deals unfairly with
them.

"FREEDoM OF THE SEAS"

The seamen's Journal takes to task
those who are attempting to max, an
issue in, this country Of the nooted
question Of the Freedom OF the Seas"
The journal insists that there can be
no misunderstanding between the
United States and Great Britaif on
this point. It holds that it is pretty
we'll conceded that the British naval
power will be kept up. to Its full
strength, and the United States. will
enlarge its navy as the best guaran-
tee for peace for many years to come.
The Journal declares that the
greater issue Is Freedom for the men
who follow the sea in the capacity of
merchant seamen.' American sea-
men were made free by President
Wilson. The demand is now for the
same freedom for the seamen of the
world.

INCREASE IN CHILD
LABOR IS INDICATED

"The war leaves u- = legacy Of in
creased child labor" says the Nation
al Child Labor Committee. I'm the
single state of Pennsylvania, in the
last two years, the number of wage
workers III and Is years old has in
creased by SO per cent. This condi-
ton is not confined to Pennsylvania,
but is found in all sections of the
country. There has been a vast in
crease in the labor Of children under
IA years Old"
According to the committee, cir
cumstances will make it more difficult
for children to retu.n to, school now
than it was for them, to, leave it. AL
though some are being dismissed from
their work because of peace times,
many are being retained because they
are 'cheap labor" The committee es-
Inmates that no less than 100000
child workers in America will need
to be protected when affairs return to

MOVER COMES CLEAN

If the Chisholm Tribune-Herald
wants to come clean with union labor
and clear itself Of the charge that it
panies, while pretending to have real
liking for certain kind. of so-called
craft unions, it will admit that it is
mistaken in it's estimate of the Inter-
national union of Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers, formerly the Wes-
tern Federation of Miners.
Chas. H. Meyer. president of the
union, proved to the world last week,
that his organization is on a par with
the best labor organization in the
country when he insisted that his
members in Butte stand by their con-
tracts.

WHY NOT DO IT?

Some one down in st. Paul asked
one Of the authors of tonnage tax
bill why provision was not made to
place the money derived from such a
tax in an investment fund so that the
interest from it could only be used to
pay current expenses or to reclaim
waste lands in the northern portion
of the state?
Reply was made to the effect that
such a provision in a tonnage tax law
would render it void. The state, il
was held, is empowered to collect
money from taxation only to pay 60
ing expenses. Well now, wouldn't a
lot of time be saved by getting the
constitution amended? There will
never be a tonnage tax law in this
state until such a provision can be put
in the law.

LAND MONOPOLY HERE.

The agitation about putting the SOL
diers on the land has died down con-
siderably of late. The land is not
available. According to Federal Land
Commissioner Clay Tllman, there are
225,000,000 acres of unappropriated
and unreserved public land, but this
is only fit for grazing. The fact is the
crop lands have gone into private
ownership.
Land monopoly is becoming an
American issue. and it legislators had
little spare time on their hands
they could spend it to no better pur-
pose than to study up on land tax
alton. Free the land and We'll solve
fully 80 per cent of our social prob
lens. There'll at least be- no unem-
ployed problem to face.
