NO SOLDIER NEED APPLY

It is to be regretted that, in the
opinion of Governor Frazier, North
Dakota soldier boys are so inferior
a type that among the whole 10000 of
them he has not been able to find one
who is qualified to fill an appointlve
Office under the Frazier adninistra-
ton.
Had Governor Frazier deemed even
one of our returned soldier boys
worthy of the honor, it would have
been nice recognition of the sacri-
fees made by our fighting men to have
singled out this one worthy soldier
for the post of secretary of the indus
trial commission, or for mine inspec-
tor, or for the .secretaryship of the
workmen's compensation bureau, or
for a membership on that bureau, or
for place on the game and fish COM
mission.
Just what are we to conclude? That
Governor Frazier has quarrel with
the men of North Dakota who donned
the uniform of their country and went
abroad to fight for that country?
That the governor is out of SYM
patty with these men? Or that he
fears they might not be in sympathy
with him?
The governor, from the beginning
of the year down to the present date,
has had about dozen lucrative posi-
lions to fill by appointment. In not
one Of them has he placed returned
soldier. He has been forced to 60
outside of the state, to St. Paul, to
find man to fill one of the most de-
sirable of these positions. To another
he has appointed young man who
graduated into the professional office
holding type the moment he reached
the North Dakota border and who has
lived at the expense of the people OF
this state ever since. A third posi-
ton, yet to be filled, the governor has
promised to second St. Paul newspa.
per man, a man who has never done
anything for North Dakota. These
jobs are paying $1,000 to $500 pei
annum. The average soldier woulc
prefer good job to $25-per- month
pension collectable some time within
the next twenty years. The average
soldier doesn't want charity-he asks
job and chance to make good. Anc
this thing Governor Frazier has con
sistently denied the average soldier
although he has had repeated oppor
tunities to offer it.
We are so sorry that we cannot
express our sorrow in words wher
there is forced upon our consciousness
by Governor Frazier's acts the con
viction that so good judge as HI
has proven himself to be has weighed
the citizenship Of North Dakota and
found it so wanting that not one Of
the 10000 soldiers who passed thu
test which Uncle Sam set for then
can measure up to the Towley stand.
