WHEN THE JOB is FINISHED?

No job is finished until it is finished
right.
The Victory Liberty Loan job isn't
finished right until every individual in
every community has subscribed for
his or her fair share of Victory
Notes.
The amount of money subscribed is
vital.
Community, county, state and dis
trict allotments must be met.
Even with this done, the Victory
Loan will still be failure if all
Americans who are able do not own
Victory Notes.
Uncle Sam wants every possible
partner in the worlds most gigantic
and successful business enterprise.
The wide distribution of these Sc
curities is absolutely necessary if this
last great war loan is to function as
a celebration of the end of the war
and the beginning of an era of pros
porous peace.
The individual who can and doesn't
buy Victory Notes will be the drone
in the American beehive, and in most
cases should meet drone's fate.
We, you and l and every real
American in the Ninth District, have
set out to finish the job. The respon-
sibility is ours, yours and mine. Let's
play the game and finish it right!
Is your county on the Ninth Dis
trict's Honor Roll? If not, ask few
questions, get busy, find out the trou-
BILE and remedy it.
The brave men and women, living
and dead, who gladly offered their
all to their country in it's time of need
have right to expect something of
US now.
In the years to come record of
even civilian service will be a proud
possession, priceless legacy.
This Victory Liberty Loan is our
present opportunity. Are we taking
advantage of it? ~,.
May 10 is the final day.
Finish the job before it is too late
and someone has had to do your share
Invest and work for yourself, your
community, county, state, district and
nation. ...
HOW N. D. "FELL" FOR TOWNLEY
Far be it from us to suggest that
the program of the Nonpartisar
league partakes of the nature Of 3
shell game. But there is something
at once pathetic and amusing in the
eager way this big state has taken to
the ever old and ever new political
"get1rich-quick" scheme.
North Dakota is one of the most
prosperous states in the community
Its percentage Of illiteracy is small
considering the great immigration-
something like .O24. It has fine
state university, good public schools
good newspapers, good Libraries. The

Many people have asked US what
difference it makes even if the initia-
tive election has been killed by the
governor. It makes a whole lot of
difference. For instance the last leg
islature passed bill to allow five
million dollars for elevators, mills,
etc., with no limit as to bonding and
the amount of interest the bonds were
to draw. The bill called for the ex-
penditure of this huge sum by one
man-the governor, who could sell the
bonds when and wherever he liked at
whatever rate of interest he wished
to get. The initiative bill provided
for two million dollars-plenty for an
experiment, to be handled by board
of seven men, to be used solely and
specifically for elevator and milling
purposes with a fixed rate of inter-
est for the bonds to be issued, as we
understand the matter. This is the
way we got this. This in itself is a
mighty important matter. Some say
five million dollars is not any too
much for experiment in elevators,
-four mills, etc., and we are not say
ing that it is, at the same time the
farmers themselves should have been
allowed to vote on the proposition
whether they wanted to be taxed five
millions for experiment or two mil
lions.

Let the people rule seems to be a
misnomer. We now are confronted
with gang rule and absolute bossism

state by the throat are afraid of the
very people whom two years or so
ago they wanted to give the initiative
and referendum-an passed a law
giving it to them. It shows an alarm
ing lack of confidence in the people of
the state and is an act of political
cowardice. The gang must be getting
shaky at the knees and only see their
own undoing. It is no longer "let the
people rule" it is ''let Townley, Fraz-
Ter, Lemke, Mills, LeSeur and others
of like ilk rule" The people of the
state have no more rights than jack
rabbit. Good Lord deliver us.

IN INTEREsT-sAvE-
HOW OTHERS VIEW US

The State of North Dakota is now
prepared to engage in almost any line
of business, but is especially commit
ed to banking, milling and building
The state is going to grind the flour,
erect the homes and take care of the
peoples money. This will do to start
with. After a while the administra-
ton may arrange to take over the
hardware stores, barber shops and
lunch counters. But there should be
some plan for switching the official
staff around so as to be of the largest
good. The governor ought to be will
ing to help out in the barber shop
during the rush hours on Saturday,
and the Secretary of State might help
to single the Odd Fellows Hall when
threatens to rain. If a man has a
little money and an inclination for
business all he needs is to get as far
away from Dakota as he can. The
state will look after everything there,
and people who find their Goldfish
moldy will be talking their troubles
to the legislature. Watch Dakota
from safe distance. Los Angeles

whether women can vote on the educa-
tional bill at the coming referendum
election. This is the one bill In which
the women of the state are mostly in
terested as it has to do with the office
of superintendent of public instruc-
ton and which bill passed by the re-
cent session of the legislature aims to
take away the power of the present in
cumbent, Miss Nelson. The editor
asked one of our attorneys for an
opinion on this matter yesterday and
unofficially he stated that according to
the way he understood the new law
women could not vote on it as it was
not a purely educational bill-it took
in the penal and other institutions of
the state which would bar the women
from voting on this measure. Had it
alluded soledy to educational matters
then the women could have voted ac-
cording to his idea. So you see the
bill was fixed so that the women could
not get whack at it at the referen-
dunn. 1t will be killed anyway, and if
the women cannot vote they can use
their influence to get the men to vote
against it and when lot of deter
mined women get busy they generally
make things move along. Attorney
General will give ruling on that
point in the near future.
-7H1NK IN 1NTEREsr-sAvE-
President Wilson wants congress to
enter an alliance with Great Britain
and France, providing for the defense
of France against German aggression.
This may sound very nice on the face
of it but we believe that the best thing
for this country to do is to clean up in
this war, pay our bills, present a
clean slate to this country and to the
nations it has been allied with and
then wash our hands of any future
alliance. The United States is badly
in need of having it's own democracy
patched up and renovated. We can
see no reason for this country to
pledge itself to fight for any other
country at this time-if it becomes
necessary for the United States to
step in to help settle righteous and
just cause as was the case when the
blood thirsty Germans trampled over
little Belgium and then threatened
the peace of the world, we can do it.,
but we are against binding ourselves
to any fighting program for the fu-
ture. This country stands forth as
the greatest liberty loving country in
the whole world and its record is a
glorious one, and whenever 1t be-
comes necessary to espouse the cause
of the down trodden and oppressed we
have always stretched forth our hands
to help, so that no iron clad covenant
to fight with other nations is nee
essary. We have no assurance that
some future time either England or
France might take notion to fight
Germany or the reverse and under the
present lineup we would be bound
to fight with the former. Who is to de-
eide whether war is just or unjust?
Let US clean up over there and then
devote our time and energies to the
restoration and reconstruction Of our
business and economic life which it
so sorely needs.
