Similarly the one thing France has
sought from the first was an assurance
that America would stand by her side
in Europe. Not being Anglo Saxon she
could not appreciate the necessity of
wrapping practical thing like com
binatiOn of nations in fancy coverings.
France was afraid that the idealistic
formula contained nothing. And finally
when NJ. Clcmenccau got his rcassur-
ancc of the league of nations from Will
son in the shape of the additional guar
antees it was the one thing that seemed
likely to justify everything else the
French premier had done in the eyes
of his country.
In dramatizing America in Europe
for his countrymen Mr.. Wilson has
been rude and broken the traditions of
diplomacy. You cannot convert peace
conference into an international movie
without hurting some feelings. Mr..
Wilson, let us repeat, in his person
brought America to Europe. He cen

DRAKE YOUNG WOMAN ROBBED
Gerald Mcbride of Spokane Arrested
Wednesday Charged With Robbing
Miss Flicker, an Employe at
the Grand Cafe.

Gerald Mcbride, who claims that
his last address was Spokane, WASH,
was arrested Wednesday forenoon by
Snecial Policeman Richardson, charg-
ed with stealing a $50 Liberty bond,
some rings and $3.50 in cash from
Miss Flicker, young woman from
Drake, N. D., who is rooming at the
Model Rooming House. The young
man, who is we'll dressed and about %
wears Of age. denies his guilt, tho the
circumstantial evidences are all
against him. The rings and, money
were found in box in the attic of the
rooming house, and a $50 Liberty
bond, presumably that owned by the
young woman, was found under the
band of his hat. Officer Reed discov-
cred the missing things.
Mcbride has no apparent business.
He has been in Minot short time and
has been rooming at the Model. The
landlady grew suspicious when she
saw him coming out of the attic Tues
day afternoon. He had no reason to
go into the attic and when the young
woman missed her effects, the place
was searched. -
Mcbride had $175 in currency on his
person, and this will be kept for him
until he gets out of his predicament.
If he is found guilty, he is likely to get
a couple of years in the penitentiary.
Miss Flicker is employed at the

WHY LANCER IS OPPOSED To
THE PRINTING BILL.

To the People of North Dakota:
Townley and his papers say that
am opposed to the economic program
of the League.
Townley knows better. Townley
knows that l saved the League pro-
gram both before the Canvassing
Board and in the Courts.
Townley and his papers have never
told you that there are TWO printing
bills.
Bill No. 1853 which provides for one
legal paper in each county, and for
the election of the legal paper by the
people after the next general election
is NOT BEING REFERRED.
The bill referred is No. 157, the
Graft Bill. This bill provides that for
the next Is months, three men ct
Bismarck will grab the power now
possessed by your board of county
commissioners and you other local au-
thorities, and designate the legal pa
per in each county.
If this bill passes it means that not
the farmers but Townley will control
the legal newspaper in each county for
Is months.
1t means that if your Senator re-
1uoCS W UOW uO"I w lO"ulcy WILL
at the next special session that the
next morning in So newspapers in the
state your senator will be called a
traitor. and an attempt made to dis
credit him with the farmers.
It means the establishment of a
domineering, autocratic, and utterly
selfish control on the part of Townley.
1t means the surrender on your
part of the rights for which your an
cestors fought--a free press.
The Chamber of Commerce news
papers and old gang papers have lied
the North Dakota Leader, the Far
go Courier-News, and other Townley
papers have lied. The free press,
your weekly newspaper, is about the
only paper you can depend upon.
Vote ''No' on the printing bill. It
has absolutely nothing to do with the
economic program Of the League. It
is a graft measure, pure and simple,
and as Attorney General, elected by
the farmers and common people of
the state, would be a coward if l let
Townlev and his outfit prevent me
from telling you the truth

Clrence r. Bierly, Receiver Of the
wife in dying condition at the Bierly
home on South Hill, at O'Clock Tues
day afternoon, and death resulted
about an hour earlier, Mr.. .Bierly not
repaining consciousness.
The day had been excessively hot,
80 in the shade. and Mr. Bierly had
suffered much from the heat. Mrs.
Bierly had driven the car to the sta
ton to meet her sister. Mrs. Mattison,
who arrived from her home at James
town, and Mr.. Bierly went to bath
room to- take bath. Mrs. Bierly and
her sister arrived at the house but did
not notice Mr.. Bierly and supposed
that he had gone over town. An hour
and a half later Mrs Bierly noticed
her husbands hat in the house and
then concluded that he must be there
somewhere. She went to the bath
room and found him partially dressed,
lying on the floor and breathing very
heavily. He had taken his bath and
was sitting on a chair dressing when
he fell to the floor. It is presumed
that Mr.. Bierly had taken cold bath
and considering that his physical con-
dition was not the best, the reaction
was probably too great for him. A
physician was called but Mr.. Bierly
failed rapidly, dying at five o'clock.
The sad news of his death was
learned with great surprise as Mr..
Bierly had been about his work as u.s.
ual in the forenoon, the picture of
health.
The funeral was held from the
Elks Home Wednesday afternoon at
three o'clock and the remains were in
tered in Rose Hill Cemetery. Quite
large number of Elks besides host
of friends attended the last sad rites

Rolling Green Farmer Says Taxes
Will Re Higher.

Mr.. Farmer: Before you vote Yes
Z times on June 26th, you had better
take your pencil and paper and figure
a little on your taxes under the old
law and also under the new alleged
farmers program. Those who are
pushing the socialistic program have
perslstently asserted and tried to make
you believe, and some of you do be-
lleve, and some of you do believe, that
your taxes will be no higher under
this new law than in former years. Let
us see whether this is true or not. The
assessed value Of real estate and per-
sonal property in Rolling Green town
ship for the year 1918, was $99.117.OO
On this sum we paid state tax of
4.3 mills or S42l89 for the whole
township. The assessed value of real
estate and personal property for the
year 1919 is $38S.431. On this sum
we will pay a state tax of 5 mills. A
Good Roads state tax of 3 mills and a
fiat rate hail tax OF 8 cents per acre.
or an average of $3.50 per quarter
section, and the sum Of these taxes
will be as follows:
5 mills on 1888, 431 ,942.15
3 mills on S3S8.431 1929
$3.50 per quarter
section on 1876 quar-
ter sections ---- 612.00
Total -$3,717.44
In other words we will pay a state
tax of nearly nine times as much as
we ever paid before. Take your last
tax receipt and multiply the sum
given as consolidated state taxes by
8.9 and you have the exact sum this
new tax program will cost you. If
you feel that your taxes are not high
enough, vote yes, but if you find that
your taxes are burdensome. as they
are, then vote No, and knock out the
whole internal program.
