can't both be right.
Have Yoa Bossht Victory Bs.d,

No human being, no matter what
his station or profession, seems TO be
exempt from the "liar. fools and
traitor" stuR peddlsd by the Nonpar-
tisan subsidized, bought-up press.
Bishop Vincent Wehrle, Of Bis
marck, seems to be the latest victim
Of the Leagues wrath. The Bishop
has made the serious error Of stating
the self-evident fact that North Da-
kotans were happy. prosperous,
contsnted people until stirred up by
the imported demagogues who hum
gered for those sixteen-to-a- hundred
dollar contributions.
And now the North Dakota Nom
partisan Leader is after tk,e Bishop,
too. They don't say in so many
words that he is "liar, fool and a
traitor" That wouldn't hardly be
good form in addressing a clergy
man, an officer in church which no
doubt has thousands Of voting mem
bers in North Dakota who might re-
sent such dope. But thar aim is the
same. They advise the Bishop that
he is tout Of tune" etc. Suppose
that expression would be interpreted
as "a hireling Of Big Biz" If refer
ring to any Of the many independent
newspaper men who rafuse to take
their orders from the Bankrupt Flax
King. Or it would no doubt be con-
sidered "liar, fool and traitor" If
he happened to be a state official.
But the Bishop hasn't become
afraid of the cars as yet. Townley
hasn't passed any law through his
legislature making it illegal to be a
bishop. So Bishop Wshrle is still at
the same old stand. And he comes
back thusly:
"Any one who carefully studies the
laws enacted by the Nonpartisan
league legislature Of North Dakota
finds that it has made more provi-
sion for fat jobs for party men than
for the real welfare of the state"
And who can deny the truth Of
tbs Bishops statement. The same
thought entered the mind of the Rec
ord man some time since. That's just
the reason that he used a couple of
columns of space last week to list
the bunch of fat jobs made by the
Townley legislature.
If not another dollar of state mon
ey was to be squandered elsewhere.
the salaries and expenses of all the
new appointive jobs would be suffi-
cient to make every substantial
farmer in North Dakota "come
across" handsomely at the counter in
the county treasurer's Office when he
digs up the 1919 tax.

1t is impossible for any thinking
person to follow the events of the
world today without trembling for
the future.
1t is possible that the whole world
is doomed to revert to a state of
savagery? What vast proportion
of the people of the world are en-
gagged in horrible, senseless orgy
Of blood and crime.
And the spirit of murder, rapine
and crime that runs rampant in vast
Russia is fast capturing Austria,
Germany and other European coun-
trias.
If any country is to maintain it's
poise in these murder-mad days, it is
the United States. The people of this
nation. through the advantages of
education, intermarriage and room
for expansion, are less likely to be-
come tools of anarchistic demons as
is the case with the deluded followers
of Lenine and Trotsky. The Ameri-
can people are prosperous. They are
free. And they have the benefits of
big returns for individual initiative
Yet, none of us should think for q
single minute that there are not
plenty of the anarchists ready and
willing to take the lead in spectacle
of blood-letting and dabauchery.
Who is there among US who can
read the article of Thursdays papers
setting forth the details of the man.
moth bomb plot uncovered by the au-
thoriti.s in this country, plot which
included forty prominent business
men and officials in this country.
Thanks to fortune and the work of
government agents, no actual loss of
life reported. True, the wife of one
noted senator was burned and maid
in the house MANNED by the explosion
CT bomb. But none of the senators
nor financial leaders were actually
injured.
The various forms of anarchy are
closely linked together. One form
keeps in hiding and sends death-deal-
ing bombs to it's victims through the
mails. Another kind play upon the
cupidity of members of labor unions,
advocating sabotage and violence.
The third-North Dakota's cousin to
the reign of terrorism in Russia, is
the organized effort to turn peaceful
and contented citizens into misguided
and suspicious revolutionists.
1t is all we'll and good to go among
the people preaching suspicion and
class hatred. but the reaction will
follow it. The day will. come when
these self-invited saviors of the peo-
pie will be glad to keep their hides
well out of the confines of this state.
When once the average man is mis-
led into an act of foolishness by ap-
pealing to his cupidity, the awaken
ing leaves him a mighty vengeful
sort of character.
Watch the fur fly one of these days
when the reaction comes. When the
various cooperative confidence games
and the expensive state socialist ex-
periments demand an accounting,
then listen to the music.
They may have forced some of us
to the wall in the meantime. But tbs
ruin of few of US but paves the way
for universal ruin for all who refuse
to awaken to their danger.

REDUCING HIGH
COST OF LIVING
President Outlines Plan Before
Congress.

President Wilson urges laws
which with those already eX-
listing. would check the high
cost of living, which the Presi-
dent says, is not justified by
any shortage of materials or
labor.
The situation can be over
come, he says, If to those laws
that we now have, we add the
following:
1. That all corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerc y
be Licensed with string mt regu-
lations to secure strong compe-
tition, and thus prevent big
profits in selling. =. Enforce
ment of the provisions of the
food control act as far as i
provided against the boarding
of food, clothing, fuel, and
other necessities of life. 3. A
penalty in the present food
control act to prevent profit
teering. 4. A law regulating
the method and time of cold
storage by requiring that the
goods bear the date of storage,
and making the owner respon-
sible for the method of disposal
if held longer than the requir-
ed time. 5. A law requiring
that goods for interstate COM
merce bear the selling price
at the time they were stored
and at the time the producer
sold them. 6. More appropria-
tions for government agencies
that will keep the public in
formed as to prices that the
retailers pay for the goods.
The President promised to
give immediate relief as far as
his present powers extended
by controlling and limiting
shipments and credits so as to
encourage the purchase Of
wheat in a way that would low
er the price at home, selling all
surplus government-owncd d
food and clothing, and putting
on the market the privately
owned stocks now in storage.
Until some relief was re-
ceived these recommendations
were offered; That the produc-
ton be increased, housewives
buy carefully, producers. job
bers and merchants deal fairly
with the people, and every class
refrain from threats and I'M
fair demands.
