THEY DON'T LIKE IT

The treaty Of peace just handed to the German
ENJOYS at Versailles is decidly unsatisfactory to several
groups of people. The Germans do not like it, Senator
to the Fargo Courier News and the Grand Forks Amcri-
can. Senator Borah has been objecting to things pretty
regularly for some time past, and he objects to this treaty
on general principles. The others object. according 10
their own statements, because it imposes too harsh terms
on the Germans. The objections are not likely to have
quarters that the Germans will not sign. They arc at
liberty to use their own pleasure. No one can force them
to sign, but they will sign or they will be cut off from all
communication with the world, and if necessary their
whole territory will be occupied by allied military forces,
They may please themselves. AS to the objections presen-
North Dakota men who wore the American unifofm in
France, who stormed the German trenches, and who in
many cases have come back SCARED and manned, these
men with the others who return sound and whole but who
have left dear comrades buried in a foreign land are not
likely to read with great patience pleas for a conciliatory
the treaty are drastic. Heavy burdens are imposed on the
German people, but those burdens were to be borne by
some people and the peace conferees have decided, wisely
and humanely, that the heavy burdens should be borne by
the aggressors in. the war rather than by their victims.
The victims have already borne too much. Just how the
reconciled with the facts may be left to those who make
them. This paper believes that there has been no error
on the side Of undue severity,

(By G. 5. s~trandvold.)

The tendency to measure the true
worth of a book principally by its
popularity and by the number of edi-
lions and copies sold is gradually be-
coming more prevalent, with the re-
suit that authors often obey the de-
mands of the public more rigidly
than they heed the dictates of their
own artistic conscience.
1t seems to be taken for granted
that when a vast number of people
like a work of fiction. it must needs
be excellent, and no allowance is
made for the immense influence
welded by skullful advertising and
by the fact that a book may become
fashionable" in the sense that a
gown or a hat enjoys a momentary
vogue.
Literary magazines have for q
number of years compiled lists Of So
called "best sellers''-Books which
within a given period have enjoyed
the widest popularity in book stores
as well as in libraries; from time to
time some very valuable works have
been included in these lists, but the
majority were of the kind that repels
the true book lover.
Looking over the catalogues of
"best sellers" of for instance ten
years ago, one will find hat they are
rarely read now; most of them have
been totally forgotten and are sold
in no new editions. The tickle public
has cultivated other tastes<and Great
ed other standards. Doomsday's bu-
gle has sounded across the graves of
thousands Of books once deemed in
strutcive and entertaining and now
dead because they did not have the
essentials Of eternity between their
leaves.
"But surely the author must write
books hat the public likes" is a fire.
quent argument heard in defense of
the writer who thinks of nothing but
the Great Success.
This nay be conceded-with the
ampli1cation that when an author
writes in true accord with whatever
is best in himself, he does appeal to
the public. If he writes for the sake
of checks and plaudits, he may fas-
cinate a large number of people, but
only for a very short time.
Still it is a fact that the master
works of all literatures were produce
ed by writer's who paid no attention
to h tastes and p%rejudices of a cas-
ual public. Some of them NAV have
known less about the technique iof a
work of art than do, for instance.
modern American novelists and NAV
wrights, and, yet they were destined
for immortality among the discrimi-
mating who always form a part Of
any public even though they consti-
tute a minority because of their ex-
IRENE fastidiousness.
one reason for this is that the real

WHERE THE SOLDIERS STAND

1t has been taken for granted that a very large unm-
Der Of the soldiers who have returned to this country
from Europe would not only have quite well defined
opinions on certain phases of our public life but would be
quite apt to take steps to make those opinions known.
An important step in this direction has been taken in the
organization of the American Legion. This society is
composed entirely OF soldiers who have served in the late
war. It is not intended to be in the nature of a political
party. Its political nonparttsanship is shown in the fact
that Two IF the leading spirits in creating the organization
are Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt. a son of the late presi-
dent OF the United States. a Republican, ana Lieutenant
Colonel Clark, son Of the recently retired Democrat speak
wer Of the House Of Representatives. Other leaders in the
movement have Joined it without regard to any political
utilization.
At the first convention Of the society for the purpose
OF organizing. one Of the questions to be determined was
that Of the place for holding the frs. annual convention.
geographically and for many other reasons Chicago was
regarded by many Of the members as the logical place for
the gathering: Chicago was q candidate for the honor
and the convention hall was literally decorated with
Chicago banners, but chicasos application was rejected
solely because Chicago has . mayor whose attitude dur
Ing the war has shown him to be a long way from 100
percent American. William Hale Thompson, mayor OF
Chicago has conducted himself in a manner which - an
offense to every loyal American citizen and whils the ~
lection of chicago's application was declared in the st.
Louis convention to be meant as no reflection ON the loyal
cafisens OF Chicago, one can not. refrain from the obser-
setion that the loyal citizens Of Chicago are in very large

Big DINNER IS SERVED
Barbecued Pig, Mutton and Kid
With All the Trim

Guests.

On Wednesday August Goth, in
response to a county wide invita-
tion from Mr.. and Mrs. J. L..
Franklin, who reside on their
beautiful farm near Tolu, there
assembled some six hundred of
their friends, men, women and
children, to enjoy an old fash
ioned barbecue, the equal of
which, in abundance and splend-
or, the history of the county
does not record.
In the early morning friends
commenced to arrive and be
greeted by that long familiar
and widely known welcoming
voice, Come in here and make
yourself at home" That greet
ing which is known far and near
as being the heart and soul of
John Franklin. And next came
a pleasant smile and hearty well
come from Mrs. Franklin, a
greeting so true and character
istic of real southern lady, who
has made so perfect a union ever
devoted to love and appreciation
for friends and humanity.
The long pit in the rear of the
lawn was laden with pork, NUT
ton and kid, cooked in that old
time way for which the real
southern darkey is famous and
it was very evident that upon
this occasion, beyond any doubt,
Uncle Henry did himself proud
and broke all former records.

feasting began and lasted long
