Fargo's Townleyized daily on last
Friday referred to the North Dakota
Press association as a political ma
chine. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. Partisan politics
has always been kept out of the as
ISOLATION. Only one attempt has
been made to inject politics into the
organization and that attempt was
made by the Townley-owned edi-
tors at Grand Forks last year. The
attempt was easily defeated and
then the League editors showed
that they were anything but true
sports. They seeded and organized
along factional lines. They even
went further. The citizens of Grand
Forks had prepared a luncheon and
arranged for an afternoon of sports
down in the park. Surely the men
and women Of Grand Forks were not
favoring any faction in arranging fol
the entertainment of the visitors. But
the Nonpartisan editors, with two ex.
ceptions showed their narrowness by
staying away from the park. The two
exceptions were the two Lampmans-
father and son. They were present
and thoroughly enjoyed the luncheon
and took part in the sports. It may
not be out of place to state that the
Lampmans are no longer connected
with the Nonpartisan newspapers
Now we are told that the state press
association is a political machine

THE COUNTY PRESS AND THE
POSTAL ZONE LAW

The so-called postal system" now q
law until repealed, abolishes our basic
postal principles established for more
than half century. This revival of
the idea that cost must determine the
postage rate, introduces new ele-
men Of such Importance to the country
newspapers of this nation that they
need to scrutinize with great care and
precision before they blindly support
the postal zone system, as some OF
them at least seem disposed to do.
There is no more important service
than that rendered, or which may be
rendered, the American people by the
small country newspapers. Recog-
nizing this fact, free mail delivery
within the county of publication was
provided for the country press many
years ago. This free postal service
was never regarded as subsidy to
country newspapers. 1t was a vital
public service of information and edu-
cation to rural readers. It meant,
chiefly, freedom of circulation to the
readers, for any postal charge would
be added to the subscription price, d.
rectly or indirectly.
The subsidy, if so it might be term
ed. was to the readers, to the people
themselves, who pay for it in their ma
tional taxes. The rural delivery IS Tor
the benefit of the country newspaper
reader.
Now. the latest official report Of the
Post Office Department shows that
the annual cost per newspaper or ku-
raj Free Delivery routes is IA cents
per piece. As the country papers
weigh approximately ten or eleven
to the pound, this would mean a min
imum postage charge on country
newspapers of fourteen cents per
pound.
The first assistant postmaster gen.
eral last year, testifying before SEN
ate committee stated that the "over-
head" on every pound of newspaper
mail was 3.8 cents per pound. There.
fore. on this new rule of postal "cost,
the country press of this nation will
have to face the terrific total postage
charge almost eighteen cents per
pound.
Of course no country publisher can
afford a postage charge of eighteen
cents a pound. He must pass this
charge of almost eighteen cents per
thereby his circulation.
This overturn Of postal principles
in existence for over fifty years will
impose a very great injustice upon
the country newspapers and their
readers. The rural delivery is the
most expensive and least profitable OF
all the postal departments and there.
fore the revival of this old postal
theory will put upon the country press
of America the highest rate Of postage
in the land.

C. H. Potter, one of the real old
timers in the newspaper business IN
this state, has succumbed to the wiles
of the nonpartisan league and has sold
his Enderlin Independent to the Brin-
ton machine. Just what Charley in
tends to do we do not know, but one
thing is certain and that is the news
paper boys of the state will be sorry
to see him retiring from the ranks OF
quill pushers of the state. One by
one, like the best educators we have
this rank legislation is gradually
pushing them out of the state where
they can get into other lines of bust
ness untrammeled and with that free
dom of spirit which the American
people so dearly love. The independent
thinker and newspaper publisher in
North Dakota has hard road to trav-
ell these days bucking the Brinton ma
chine. but after all there are few
of them who are going to'stick on the
job until the clouds have rolled away
and sanity has been regained in North
Dakota. At the present time North
Dakota is controlled by men who care
nothing of it's future-they are look
ing to the present while the financial
picking is good for them.

The Grand Forks Typographical
Union recently voted not to join the
new labor political party that was
born in Minot few weeks ago and
which was organized as sort of tail
to the Townley kite in North Dakota:
The Grand Forks printers are men Of
independent thought and action and
evidently do not want to be tied up to
any political party. They prefer to do
their own thinking and voting as they
see it which is the only way to do.
Printers are no different in the main
than any other class but the action of
these men at Grand Gorks is con-
elusive evidence that labor does not in
tend to be swung to any party by any
set of men.

Everywhere you 60 you hear being
discussed the large increase in the
taxes for this year which is brought
about by the new program put forth
in this dawn of a new day" we have
in North Dakota. It sounded mighty
nice and soothing to a lot of the radi-
cal leaguers to talk about supporting
the whole program and trying it out,
but they did not reckon that they them
selves were also to help bear the bur-
den of the dawn Of a new day. They
are now commencing to look wise and
figure out where all this is going to
end-the end does not appear to be
as rosy as it looked before they de-
cided to try out the whole program.

Women Form League to
Keep Tabs ON Husbands
Will Pry Into Double Life" of
Men i'm Anti-Vice
Crusade

TAMPA, Fla, June 14.-Five hundred
Tampa women have formed the Won
ans Protective League and say they
propose to clean up organized vice by
direct action that they propose to
undermine its support.
By the establishment of sort of
moral credit bureau this organization
proposes to furnish any woman a con-
tidential report on the double life"
of her husband if she wants one. The
inquirer does not even need to give
her own name in making the inquiry;
she may designate a postoffce box adj
dress or any place where an agent of
the league may deposit the report on
its investigation.
Organizers of the bureau say that
seventy of their number have pledged
themselves to do the investigating
work in the open, while the remainder
will work in secret.
$50 many have such old reprobates
for husbands" said one of the chiefs,
they can't work openly because these
husbands won't let them Therefore
they will work secretly" The theory
of the league is that if a man has not
been walking the straight and narrow
path one of the five hundred will know
about 1t or at least can find out.

60 canteens in France and England
during the war for women war work

them all-here in England--for the
women peace workers.
THE canteens, which resemble the
American cafeterias, are here ito stay.
Factory superintendent and business
managers, seeing how our canteens
helped the women munition makers, as
we'll as other women employed in war
work, have come to recognize the value

want our canteens in their factories.
Peace Time Aid Planned
"The women who helped win the war
need homes, vacation places and holt

back to the new work of peace times.
If women needed our clubs while they
were doing war work they need them
now on their peace jobs.

the strength of this we are planning

Need of Recreation.
The war taught us in wav wa
never could have learned otherwise
the Importance Of recreation. AS
result we are stressing our recreation
programmes. Play will improve women's
peace work as well as their war work.
ms year this increased recreational
programme IS showing itself in the in
crease Of our country camps. MANY
OF these are being run by university
women who learned of the Blue Tri-

they were in war service in France.
We want to keep the hut spirit.
We hope to build huts all over England

for towns and neiehborhoods, Just az
they were for cantonments in the war.
Our girls went to france and into
war service by the thousands. And
they found the Blue Triangle there too.

war services. Now they want it when
they come out Of service"

sible to see some dancing? 1t surely
would. Then and there an impromptu
dance was arranged for after luncheon.
Meanwhile, it was time to manager"
as our French-speaking army says.
An excellent luncheon was served in
the ballroom of the Casino, with the
"Y" girls in their uniforms acting as
mattresses. During the luncheon the
party was entertained by Y. NJ. c. A.
and soldier talent, with the same sort
of a programme that is given daily for
the soldiers. The Queen was asked to
speak and did SO, telling about her
people and what they had suffered at
the hands of the Germans
And now it was time for the dance.
In the big central playroom of the
Casino the Queen was seated. The jazz
started strong. The regular dance rule
prevailed-the soldiers being permitted
to "break-in" and seize partner when
ever the whistle blew.
Princess Starts Dancing
wouldn't you like to dance?" the
Queen asked her daughter. With the
thrilling rhythm of the jazz orchestra
ringing in her ears, how could even a
princess resist such an invitation?
Princess Marie didn't even try. Her
quick nod and smile indicated that it
would be quite all right.
A good looking Yankee soldier start
ed off with the princess, and it didn't
take his buddies long to learn who was
on the floor. When the whistle blew,
permitting the break there was
scramble that nearly swept the young
woman off her feet. She was puzzled
for a moment until she realized the
system, then she yielded to the spirit
of the game. One boy preempted her
by right of priority and she danced
merrily away until the next foot OF the
whistle, when the rush was even
greater than before. She took it all
in excellent part, although it is doubt
full if ever princess was so danced with
before.
Thinks Y. Nj. c. A. "Wonderfur'
Her majesty expressed the greatest
pleasure in her day with the American
soldiers.
81 think your Y. NJ. c. A. wonder
full" she said, $50 splendidly organ
led. The results of your work are
amazing. 1t gives a substitute for the
public-house and it gives the boys a
chance to find wholesome pleasures.
Such an organization would be a won
derful help in my country during the
period of rehabilitation after the de-
vastation wrought by the Germans"
And before leaving she was asked to
write in the quest hook Here is her
message:
'In you returning young soldiers lies
the hope of your country. The spirit,
self-sacritice and devotion you have
shown in helping to solve the great
world problem will spur you on, and
any difficulty you may be called upon
to face in America viii be met and
mastered, and when you are in your
own beautiful land think sometimes of
us who are not so fortunate, but whose
hearts will never forget your help in
time of need"
