A FISH STORY WITH A MORAL

Put one hundred men on an island
! where fish is staple article of sus.
tenance. Twenty-Five Of the men catch
f! fish. Twenty-Five others clean the fish
| Twenty-Five cook the fish. Twenty
| five hunt fruit and vegetables. The
entire company eats what thus is gath
cred and prepared.
So long as everybody works there
is plenty. All hands are happy.
Ten of the allotted fish catchers stop
catching fish.
Ten more dry and hide part Of the
fish they catch.
Five continue to catch fish, but
work only part of the day at it.
Fewer fish 60 into the community
kitchen. .
But the same number of men insist
upon having the same amount OF fish
to eat as they had before.
The fifty men who formerly cleaned
and cooked the fish have less to do ow-
ing to the under supply of fish. But
they continue to demand food.
Gradually greater burdens are laid
upon the fruit and vegetable hunters.
These insist upon a larger share OF
fish in return for their larger efforts
in gathering fruit and vegetables: 1t
is denied them and soon twenty Of the
twenty-five quit gathering fruit and
vegetables.
But the entire one hundred men con-
tinue to insist upon their right to eat.
The daily food supply gradually
shrinks. The man with two fish de-
mands three bananas in exchange for
one of them. The man with two ba-
nanas refuses to part with one for
fewer than three fish.
Finally the ten men remaining at
work quit in disgust. Everybody con-
tinues to eat. The hidden fish are
brought to light and consumed. Comes
a day when there is no food Of any
kind. Everybody on the island blames
everybody else.
What would seem to be the solu-
ton? Exactly! We thought you would
guess it.
For we repeat that you can't eat
buy, sell, steal, give away, hoard,
wear, use, play with or gamble what
WHAT ISN'T.

Thirty years ago November second
North Dakota became state. In this
connection it might be we'll to add that
when the constitutional convention
met to build a constitution for the
state, that body was confronted by
two very hard fights-that for con-
stitutional prohibition and that to
kill off the Louisiana lottery that was
at that time trying to fasten itself up
on the state. The prohibition provis-
ion won out and was incorporated into
the constitution of North Dakota and
up to this time we believe that those
who stood for that have no reason to
regret their stand while on the other
hand many who did not approve of
prohibition at that time now believe it
has been a good thing in general and
are approving that part of the consti-
tuition. The lottery was defeated after
a very hard fight and much money was
in evidence to try and put it over. But
the integrity of the members of the
constitutional convention was stronger
than the lottery and it was thrown
out of the state. The editor of the
Times-Record was editing paper
elsewhere at that time and we are hap
py to state that we put in all our best
efforts to kill the lottery and to put
the prohibition clause in the consti-
tuition. The constitution also made pro-
vision for the saving of large school
fund for this state, but the present
administration by the changes it has
made in the constitution, has wiped
this all out along with all the other
funds Of the state. The builders of
that constitution did not know at the
time that they were looking thirty
years ahead-as is evidenced by ma
ton wide prohibition that will exist in
January Of next year.

There is much comfort to be derived
from the election returns from the
primaries held at Buffalo, N Y, where
the radicals were seeking to establish
soviet government. The commun-
list candidates running on this kind of
a platform only polled one per cent of
the vote cast which is certainly a
healthy sign of the times that the
sane element in the country is not go
ing to be led astray by any such pro-
paganda as that proposed in the es-
Establishment Of soviet form Of gov
eminent. The old world is not all rot
ten yet. The following from the New
York Sun shows that the growth Of
the bolshevik lis not growing larger
but diminishing. The returns from
the primaries in Buffalo, where Com
munist candidates appeared on the
ballot, running on platform calling
for soviet government, are pleas
antly surprising. The Communist
candidates polled only 400 of the 3d.
600 votes cast. The bolsheviki in
America must be discouraged by the
news. Buffalo is city with a great
foreign population In 1910 the CEN
sus men found that 55,537 of Buffa-
los people were natives Of the German
and Austro-Hungarian empires. There
were II, 349 persons Of Russian birth;
II, 1893 of Italian birth. The foreign
born of the town equalled in number
the natives Of native parentage. Three
hundred thousand persons in a popu-
lation of only 424,O00 were either of
foreign birth or the children of par
ents one or both of whom came from
some foreign land. That the bolshe-
wiki could drum up less than / per cent
Of the vote in city like that is good
sign. Students of The figures will do
well to remember that most Of the
Bufalonians recorded in the census as
being Of Russian, birth. are really
Poles. With them it is. America first,
Paderewski second, and bolshevism
nowhere.

Congressan Baer, of the First North
Dakota District, wants the govern
ment to take over the coal mines and
operate them during the strike of the
coal miners. We believe the congress-
man has put forth a very good solu-
ton of the problem. The country at
large should not be frozen to death
while the capitalists and miners wran-
gle over the wage scale. Both sides
are undoubtedly to blame but the pub
lie is an innocent sufferer. If the
government can take over the mines
and keep them running until these diff
ficulties between the employers and
employees is settled the country can be
kept warm at least.

Unless something out of the ordi-
nary happens getween now and mid
night the miners will put their threat
.ened strike into operation. Valley City
people will enjoy that with the short
age of coal now going on. 1t will be
the same all over the country.

Blu ". S. s

Nobody probably has even thought
or said that Boss Townley Of North
Dakota's Non-Partisan League is in
tentionally comical person. How
ever, there is the well known uncon-
scious humor which sometimes brings
a laugh and often too groan.
Townley, displeased with some state
officials who closed a bank in Fargo
because they found it in a condition
which made it their duty to close it.,
determined to impeach them. Then
he became comical; he demanded of
League members of the Legislature
their pledges to vote the impeach-
ment resolutions when and as pre-
sented Some of them refused be-
cause they wanted to hear evidence
before deciding how to vote! Prob
ably Townley thinks they are funny.

completing the peace compact, the
fact must not be overlooked that

has more than counterbalanced
all that the other nations of the
earth have done toward guarantee
ing "life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" throughout all civilized
lands.-Fargo Blade.

A political article in the Grand
Forks American dated from Bismarck,
gives out the information that Col.
Frame is to be the candidate of the
Independent Voters Association for
governor next year. This is mighty
Interesting reading for the public but
we do not yet believe that Col. Frame
is to be the choice of that party for
governor. We do not believe the col
onel is a strong enough man for the
race. At any rate we do not believe
that the I. V. A. has made up its mind
who the candidate for governor will
bet is too early yet. But then if
this kind of dope feeds the public let
it go at that. Time will tell.

There is vacancy In one senatorial
district in Towner county and the gov
ernor has called a special election for
that district-because he feels that the
league can elect a senator. In the Mi
not district there is vacancy in the
house but the governor will not call
an election to fill that vacancy. He
needs a vote or two in the senate but
has lots of them in the house-and yet
we are told there is no politics in it.
Can the governor be square at any
time to you think?

The nonpartisan league at it's big
bank meeting held in Fargo recently
adopted, the goat as the emblem of
that party. It figured that with the
republican party adopting the ele-
plant, the democratic party the jack
ass and the Bull Moose the moose, the
goat would be about right for them.
It was a wise selection. The people
have been made the goat all right, and
they are just now finding it out.

The only way to convince man that
the taxes have been raised is to pay a
visit to the county auditors Office. A
little investigation there does more
to clinch things than all the editorials

by some political dopester but when
they are taken from the tax records

During the last presidential election
the slogan adopted by the democrats
was che kept us out Of war" It was
mighty catchy slogan alright and it
took like hot cakes on a frosty morn
ing, the voters in the states where we
had woman suffrage particularly going
strong for the dope and that is how
Mr.. Wilson was reelected. We heard
new one the other day as follows:
"He kept us out of sugar" We hard
ly think that the democratic party
will adopt that this next time.

Can some intelligent human being
tell US when the war is over. Presi-
dent Wilson when he uttered his pitt
matum to the miners on the strike
proposition said thatthe war is not
over and would not be until the senate
had ratified the treaty and peace had
been declared. When the prohibition
bill came up before him and he de-
cided to veto the same he said that the
war was over and therefore could not
approve of the bill. Verify it is easy
to construe the statutes to suit the
personal belief of a person these
days. Anyway there is mighty little
inconsistency in the presidents atti-
tude on the two questions at issue.

Governor Frazier has called spe-
cial session Of the state legislature to
meet at Bismarck on November Is.
The purposes of this special session
the executive says is for the purpose
of taking action on the federal amend
ment giving women the right to suff-
rage, to provide aid for the drouth
stricken farmers of the western part
of the state and to provide legislation
for putting the program of the league
into effect along industrial lines.
There is liable to be a warm session of
the legislature. Wonder if they are
also going to try and impeach Messrs.
Hall, LANCER and Kositzky.

FAIL TO RE-ARREST
JAIL-BREAKERS

Police officers yesterday were un-
able to find any trace of Earl White,
suspect, who broke jail sometime
Sunday night. White was arrested
last week, and was being held for in
vestigation, local officers believing
him to be a notorious burglar. A
photograph was made of him, and
was sent to Little Rock ard Hot
Springs. He was identified in Hot
Springs as having been arrested
there for burglary. Sunday night,
White escaped from the city Jail He
forced tin covering from a hole
around a pipe in his cell, and the door
of the cell next to his being open, he
easily managed to slip out. All of his
clothes excepting a shirt and pair of
trousers had been taken from him,
and clad only in these garments, he is
now probably putting. Pine Bluff as
far behind him as is possible with a
freight train as the modus operandi.
The police believed that White was
hiding out somewhere along the river
bank at first, but since he has not
been discovered there, that believe is
seen to be erroneous.

Remainder of $4,000
Needed Today.

The detention home, which, since
its establishment by Miss Grace
Strobridge, has been struggling along
growing slowly, and chiefly, by the
superb efforts of Miss Strobridge,
yesterday received new lease on
life. A committee composed of Oscar
Mckenzie, Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Dun
ming. Miss Strobridge and Judge W.
B. Sorrells, in a canvass of the city,,
raised over $1,000 to be used for the
maintenance and expansion of the
home. The objective sought by this
committee is $4,000, and it is believed
that by noon today, that amount will
have been reached.
The detention home is situated at
1901 West Seventh avenue, and is a
two-story house, largely in need of
repairs. The money which will be
raised for the home will put it on a
new basis and permit expansion
and more and better work by the
home can be expected.

cured yesterday were in pledges most
Of them for $25 each, which will be
