State Auditor Carl Kositzky and 9th
er league officials at the capital, who

spite bills and other measures which

program and are vicious, broke into
full blom tday in The Fargo Cour
ierNeWs, whose editorial POLICY
Townley directs at 500 per month.
Mr.. Townley's statement follows in
full: =.
"The world is made of many men
of many minds We don't all agree
anything. We can't because We
have not all the same kind and de
gree Of education, information and
training.
But on many things most of US
are agreed-most OF us believe that
one man should not rob another; that
every man should get what he earns
that one man should not will another
any time he takes a notion and that
the law of the land should be what
most of the people are agreed upon
rather than what few of the people
want. Government all over the
United States somewhat represents
the will of the majority of the people
in North Dakota the government
just now very nearly altogether rep
resents the majority. The law is, OF
should be, what the majority want il
to be.
The Will Of the Majority.
1T is comomnly understood that
the law, the will of the majority, shall
govern the conduct Of both the ma.
jorty and the minority. If one of the
minority, because he does not like
the law and tho he did not vote for
it, shall break the law, then the ma.
jority will put him in prison; if he
kills a brother, the majority will
hang him; and If he does the greatest
crime, if he gives aid and comfort to
an enemy in time of war, If he be.
trays his country to those who would
destroy his country's homes, then his
own people will shoot him at sunrise.
1t is a rule of nations that a traitor
is more to be despised and punished
than any other criminal because he
turns over to the enemy, for price
and without a fight or word OF
warning, those whom re processes to
protect.
Majority Rule Must Prevail.
"A nation is just an organization,
including all the people in it. Any
organization, be ii nation or part
of the people of nation, must be
governed by laws or rules agreed
rpon by a majority of its members
II in nation any citizen could do
as he wanted to, no matter what was
the law agreed to by the majority
then there would be no order, no citi
zen would be safe, nothing could
be done, enemies from without would
over-run it, rule and rob it, and ii
would go to pieces and die. So with
any organization smaller than na
tion.
Prevails in All Organizations.
When you join a fraternal organi
zation, you must abide by all the
rules agreed to by the members OF
that order. Some you may not like
but observe tkem all or get out. II
you are member Of labor organic
alton and you work fr less money
than the rules permit, you will be
called on the carpet So with the
medical association, manufacturers
