Congress is asked to make an
appropriation of 81, 700, 900 in or
der to maintain ATS government
employment service bureaus for
the next fiscal year beginning
July 1st, and continue on the pay
roll about 1000 deserving demo
Gratis, who otherwise will have
to get out and hustle for Lying.
The only effective service of the
government employment service
bureau is in supplying jobs to
the employees of the bureau, and
a good place to start retrench-
ment in government expense is
to abolish the bureau.

If the League of Nations, when
it is finally established, needs a
distinctive flag, perhaps enough
political essure could be
brought upon the state of Ari-
zona to surrender her copyright
on her state flag for the larger
and broader uses of mankind.
AS freak of ribboned combi-
nations and colors it has no equal,
and it would make an ideal ban
ner for the League. The colors
all radiate from the center, and
the points could be emblematic
of the celebrated fourteen points
of the declaration of peace issu-
ed to the Germans by Mr.. Will
son. The copper star could rep
resent the star of hope for a uni
ty Of nations.

The allied peace conference
has finally completed the peace
draft and submitted it to Ger
many with an ultimatum to sign
Saturday or be ready to fight
Monday. Accompanying, was a
letter addressed to the German
delegation by Pemier Clemen-
ceau, the real brains Of the allied
conference, replying to the Hun
plea for a peace of justice, which
is classic brlstling with bitter
invective and caustic criticism of
the savagry, brutality and lust
of the Prussians, violating ma
liciously all the rules of civilized
warfare in their madness and
frenzy to establish world pow
er, for Germany, with the Mad
Mullah, Wilhelm, for its ruler.
Clemenceau drives home with
force to the thick headed Hun
that the peace offered is not one
of violence, neither is 1t one Of
full justice to the Belgium and
the French people who have suf-
fered from the crimes of the
Prussian murderers and rapists,
because full reparation would be
impossible; but it is a peace of
justice dictated to safe guard the
nations from arepetition a of the
crimes of the unspeakable Hun.
Clemenceau probably remember
ed only too we'll the Prussian
crime of 1870 when no mercy
was shown his people in the
treaty, and only the full limit of
the French people to pay was
the measure of the terms, with
no thought of justice, right or
equity.

National Chairman Mccormack
of the democratic committee is
billed to meet with the faithful
in Phoenix June Oath. This gen.
tleman's mission in visiting all
the states to hold conferences
with the local democratic poll
ticians is to get the party to take
up the League of Nations as a
live party issue to support the
waning of power of Mr.. Wilson.
1t is now his intention, when
he returns from his tour abroad,
to take a Swing around the cir
Gle" explaining to the people the
advantages of surrendering their
American liberties into the keep
ing of a League of Nations,
whose activities will be governed
by a commission of nine repre-
sentatives, six of whom will be
under the control and direction
of England, and one from the
United States. The history of
the American people is that they
will stand for a good deal of
horse play" in their partisan
politics as issues for party VIC
tory, but in the last analysis they
are unit against surrendering
any of their rights and liberties
under our constitution.

Thos. Croaff, of Phoenix, state
organizer for the Federation of
Labor. wired in his resignation
to national headquarters few
days ago, when the national as
sociation then in session passed
a resolution demanding a repeal
of the July 1st prohibition order,
and went on record as opposed
to national prohibition. Our ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Croaff is
limited, but his attitude in this
matter shows his full measure of
a man, who understands the true
cause of labor is not advanced by
advocating the interests of the
distillers and brewers, and re-
fuses longer to serve as an Off
cial. Labor is the product of a
mans brain factory, and is the
commodity he has to sell to the
public, the price of which is reg
ulated by its quality. With a
brain aided by booze his out
put is inferior, both in quantity
and quality, and like any other
factory that produces shoddy
goods it must be sold at an infer
ior price or not sold at all. The
day is coming when organized
labor will not protect booze fight
ers in their jobs, and the sooner
the day comes the better it will
be for the cause of labor.

The House Committee on Ju-
dietary has refused to report fa-
vorably on a resolution to repeal
the war time prohibition order
that goes into effect July 1st.
This will now leave the matter
up to Mr.. Wilson to suspend the
order by executive proclamation
on his arrival in this country, or
he might decide to use the cable
or wireless. He has been doing
his executive-ing by cable the
past six months, with an office
boy to issue the proclamations.

alleged League OF Nations as an
attack directed at President Will
son should constantly bear in
mind that Mr.. Wilson is only
playing a second fiddle as a spon-
sor for the plan. 1t was ex-
President Taft who first espous.
ed the cause of League of Ma
tions while in office, and long
prior to any thought of the war
with Germany. At that time
Mr.. Wilson was Governor of New
Jersey, and he with many other
leading democrats could see no
craftsmanship in such a scheme,
a shining exception being w. ].
Bryan, who believed in some
kind of a world agreement to
prevent war. AS secretary of
war in Wilson's cabinet, Mr.. Bry-
an was making treaties with
powers not to enter a war until
the expiration of a year of medi-
tation, as a step for world peace,
and he was fired off his job
for his activities along those
lines which did not meet the
approval of his chief. AS late
as 1917, when the United States
entered the war. Mr.. Wilson
had never raised his voice in fa-
vor of Taft's League of Nations
to Enforce Peace, and his con-
version to the scheme occurred
about the time of the signing
of the armistice, when he had
made up his mind to appoint him
self one of the commissioners to
attend the Peace conference. At
that time he was politician enough
to discern that in the organiza
tion of a League of Nations there
would be a titular head who would
be technically ruler of the world,
and what would be more natural
in the selection of that particu
lar Individual that the allied DOW
ers would turn to the governing
head of this country as the man
for the place. So his zeal for a
League of Nations can hardly be
viewed as entirely disinterested
and free from any selfish motives.
The League Of Nations is not a
partisan question. 1t is an Amer
ican question to be settled upon
the established policy of our gov
ernment; and if to be party to
the covenant it becomes neces-
sary to abrogate a part of our
constitution, let the matter of
changing our constitution to fit
the needs of the new order be
submitted to the people. There
is no gainsaying the right of the
President to negotiate treaties
with the advice and consent of
the Senate, but when they un-
dertake to execute an alleged
treaty that embraces features
that supercedes the constitution
of our country, as certain pro-
visions of the League of Nations
covenant contains, it is time for
the people to forget their parti-
san politics and commence rally
ing around the American flag.
After one hundred and fifty years
Of a free American people run
ing this government. if Mr.. Will
son. thinks the time has come
when it takes commission from
a League of Nations to direct
our destinies, perhaps it would
be just as we'll if we tore up the
Declaration of independence and
the Constitution, and turned the
government back to England,
and once more make our people
British subjects, and let Mr..
Wilson act as vice-regent by roy
alty's divine right of consecra-
tion.

PROBLEMCR0WS
MORE SERIOUS
Morton County Agent Says
His Territory is Infested
With the Pests.

Mandan. N. D., June 27.-The
grasshopper danger in the western
counties is not past but is still serious,
and growing more serious a h dry
weather continues is shown by the
following issued by the county agent
of Morton county:
1.-The grasshopper trouble is getting
more serious each day and for the
past nine days there have been tele-
phone calls every day for the county
agent to come and help mix the bait
which the farmers are buying them
selves. The petitions nav been sent
Into the chairman of the county COM
m%issioners SO that it is left entirely
up to them.
The grasshopper law is explicit and
the county agent is sure the commits
sioners will protect the farmers of
Morton county. Even though it Is late
q lot of good can be done and many
acres of grain will be saved but 1t
all takes time. However with each
week that passes it is going to cost
several hundred dollars more than it
would have a month or six weeks
ago. Next year the expense will De :,
five times more and if let go until
next year the expense cannot be esti-
mated c~onservatively.
Every county around Morton coun-
ty is infested with g~rasshoppers and
every one of them are spreading the
poison bait as fast as they a get
the material. Some counties have not
even set aside an Appropriation but
the commissioners met and decided
to dc all they could to help the farm
ers save their crops and they have
gone ahead and are now spreading
the bait. We are following the
.Watchful waiting policy"

Two Years Ago-Good

ALTHOUGH it has been two years

For three years." she continued.
II had suffered agonies with rheu-
matism all over my body. My feet
were so swollen I could hardly get my
shoes on, 1 had to wear gloves to keep
down the swelling in my hands as
much as possible. I was in SO much
pain that 1 was all bent over and a
to use a cane in order to get about.
MY stomach was in a very bad on
dition, too, and what I would eat
the pit of my stomach and ferment:
I would bloat up terribly with gas and
have such depressed feelings In my
chest and around my heart that 1t
was difficult for me to get my breath.
My appetite was very poor-tnere
were many things 1 couldn't eat at all
and at times I was very dizzy: !!
couldn't get any sound sleep, a
fallen off a great deal in weight and
lust felt miserable most all the time.
when I. read and heard so much
| about Tanlac I made UP my mind to
try it and it was the wisest decision |
ever made. BY the time I had
| finished my third bottle I discarded
my cane and could eat what | wanted
without the latest trouble afterwards.
After taking Ave bottles the rheu.
matism was gone entirely and I could
walk as we'll as I eve could. and I
also found I had gained fifteen pounds
in weight. Well, I haven't had ar
ache or a pain to this good day and ]
still eat and sleep like a child and fee
fine all the time. 1 have related my
experience with Tanlac many times
and am willing to keep on telling it al
long as 1 can help other people out o

Stone, a farmer living west of this

threshed last fall, has just COM

Four varieties of grain that had
been in the stack since last fall were
threshed, and although the straw was
a little raw still no great difficulty
was experienced in putting 1t through
the separator. The grain was a little
light in color but brought the top
price on the market.
