NOTHING CHEAP ANY MORE BUT
DEMOCRATIC PROMISES.

Do you remember the doWn-trodden
citizen the democratic orators and
editors used to picture as having been
born in a cradle, taxed 35 per cent,
and finally, after paying tribute to the
infamous protective tariff all his life,
finish up in a coffin taxed AZ per cent ?
What's become of him? We heard
OF him again the other day. He was
just buying some bacon, up ITO per
cent since the Infamous Payne-Al-
drlch tariff law was repealed, and
some eggs, up 1870 per cent, some or
anges, up 200 per cent, and some lard,
up 40 per cent, with some sugar, up
ITO per cent, and some butter, up
100 per cent. AS ~luxuries he bought
some cigars, up 60 per cent and some
candy, up 40 per cent. He had been
thinking of taking a trip, but decided
to stay at home when he looked up
the railway fare, up so per cent, and
the sleeping car rates up rs per cent.
He decided, instead to write a letter,
postage up so per cent, and ship the
stuff he had intended to carry with
him by express until he found the
rates increased 81 per cent, or bv
freight, rates up an average of 80
per cent. He asked at the drug store
for poison, but found it vas up 327
per cent, and on inquiring at the hard
ware stores found that revolvers were
up 62 per cent and rope had increased
in price IS per cent. He went home
and read the democratic platform of
1912, promising to reduce the high
cost OF living by abolishing the tariff
, and demanding a return to that SIM
pllclty and economy befitting a dem
ocratic administration" whereupon he
laughed himself to death. Even this
was no economy, however, for his
wife found the cost of coffins had
gone up 81 per cent, and tombstones
II per cent.

a reign of terror, marked with plum
der, rape and massacre, directed
against property-owning and educated
class, which drew from the state de-
rartment of the United States scath-
ing condemnation.
It made the treaty of Brest Litovsk,
which was a gross betrayal not only
of the loyal allies of Russia but Of
Russia itself, and was so ~shamelessly
infamous in terms that eve the Ger
mans who dictated it have expressed
their disgust with it.
1t repudiated all the foreign debts
of Russia, including the great loans
made from the ommon people of
France many years before the war for
the building of railroads and other
public works in Russia. 1t ordered
the confiscation Of property, without
compensation and without discrimina-
ton in regard to titles.
These are the acts of Bolshevism.
These are the things for which Lenine
and his government stand.
1t is well to recall these facts. 1t
is we'll to refresh our minds concern
ing the character Of the unspeakable
thing which it is proposed to recog-
nize as the government of a great en-
pire, the thing with which it is pro-
posed that we shall enter into diplo-
matte, commercial and social relations.
1t is well to consider whether, after
fighting to "make the world safe for
democracy" we shall give c~ountenance
and aid to democracy's most malignant
and most implacable foe.-Harvey's
Weekly.

the farmers of the state to the effect
that it is up to Mr.. LANCER to resign
his office because he has declared
himself opposed to certain of the laws
passed by the legislature.
81 am confident that in the final
analysis the people of North Dakota
will repudiate the class leadership that
has shown its ugly head in the de-
velopments of the last so days, said
LANCER.
From all parts Of North Dakota
l AVE received from mem
bers of the Nonpartisan league that
they are with the several state Off
Gals and myself who have refused
to give our O. K. to such schemes as
the s%o-called educational bill, the
newspaper bill and other like PROPOSE
lions.
Our friends who have been so ac-
lively engaged in attempting to dis
credit the state officials, who refuse
TO take orders from them, are not
meeting with the degree of success
tina they had anticipated.
"1nstead, they are finding hat the
people of North Dakota are thorough
~ awakened to the menace that ex-
lists in the continued supremacy of
the league leadership, and thew are
determined to rid the state Of their
influence.
"As for the letter that I have is
sued today, it is now up to Mr.. Town
ley. If he has any proof to back up
the charges that he and his crew
been making, it is up to them

should be disclosed.

concerned the truth or falsity of then
should be disclosed.
Mistakes have been made. That is
beyond question. Whether they have
all ben mistakes of Judgment is an
other matter. That hundreds of mil
lions of dollars may have been wasted
is held Of slight Importance by the
public in comparison with the fact
that the welfare of u boys may not
have been properly looked after. The
public can forgive extravaganza, and
perhaps even worse, but when 1T
comes to mistreating the soldiers that
is a thing that strikes to the heart of
too many homes to be lightly dismiss
sed.
There has been talk of needless sac
rifice in the Argonne, but nothing so
definite at the charges of Governor
Allen of Kansas before the senate mil
itary affairs committee. Speaking
partly from personal observation he
declares that the Thirty-fifth division
was badly cut to pieces because of
lack of aircraft and proper artillery
support. This assertion, it is said has
so moved congress that a full %investi-
cation is assured.
Then there are the disclosures of
gross injustices by courts-martial.
General Ansell has told an almost I'M
believable story of men sentenced to
many years. Imprisonment for trifling
offenses and how his determination to
repair some of the miscarriages of
justice brought upon himself the dis
pleasure Of his superiors. All these
may have been errors of judgment,
but it will be we'll to have the ques-
ton cleared up.
The United States performed a her
culean task in record time. 1t raised
and equipped a great army practically
in a few months. This was an achieve
ment deserving of the highest praise.
But the achievement can not be offer
in excuse for any sort of short
cmoing. When it is charged that the
of u boys have been needlessly
wasted, and that they have been 9TH
abused and m%altreated, there
must be some other answer than "We
a big job."-New York Globe.

FOR WASTED LIVES AND
MONEY.

When the republicans get in the
saddle in the next session of congress
n of the first things they are likely
to do is to provide for an investiga-
ton into army matters. Such a step
would meet with general public APP
proval. While no one can expect a
big war, OF even a small one, for that
matter, to be conducted without some
complaint, there have been so man
rumors of maladministration of the
war department that in justice to all

When the North Dakota nO]iticia.

When the North Dakota politicians
get through with that twenty million
dollars of the peoples money they
have voted into their w hands, the
people of the state will probably have
a severe headache, but they can con-
sole themselves with the thought that
even the town drunkard serves a use
full purpose as a horrible example for
the temperance lecturers.

Eastern Defeats DanyiIle High

The Eastern Normal basket ball
team proved too fast for the high
school team of Danville. The Dam
vile boys furnished the opposition
last night at the Normal gym. The
final score was 26 to Is. During the
first half the high school boys played
in championship form. Their team
work was especially good. They held
the Eastern five to IL to 10 score
the first half. During the last half
the play of the local boys got together
and with McDougle and Scrivner

soon large enough to win. The local

Uphold and Maintain
Our National Constitution

Our Revolutionary Fathers arrang-
ed to make our federal officers the SER
ants of our people by making these
officers swear that they would obey
the will of the people as expressed in
our National Constitution. And this
instrument provides that our people
shall go to war when the Congress of
the United States votes for them to
go.
But President Wilson and ex-Presi-
dent Taft are now publicly claiming
that our people agree with them in
demanding that our United States
Senators shall ratify the proposed
treaty with foreign nations, which
puts our people under a moral obi
cation to go to war when they are di-
rected to go by League of Nations.
Our National Constitution, however,
was ordained and established by our
people for the direction of our federal
officers in the management of our ma
tional affairs, and as I have already
said this instrument provides that our
people shall go to war when the Con-
gress of the United States votes for
them to go; so President Wilson and
our United States Senators will
become the masters of our people if
they make treaty with foreign ne
tions which put our people under a
moral obligation to go to war when a
League of Nations votes for them to
go.
It may be well for US to have a
League of nations to enforce peace, as
a great many intelligent persons
think. But If it is, let us have Lea
que that will put our people under a
moral obligation to go to war when
the League requests them to go; pro-
vided the Congress of the United
States approves and votes them to go.
Let US have a League that will be
in accord with our National Constitu-
ton in every thing that effects our
people.
