'Mr. Townley is q wonderful organ-

inc. MI. Youmans says walter
Thomas Mills is a good speaker, a
conscientious man. and has a heart
for the oppressed-a man with a
SOUL" Sure! The same thing has
been said Of the greatest fanatics and
fools the world has ever known, the
i~nstigators Of bloody revolutions,
murderers Of men, deceivers Of wom-

of the communists. socialists and

A..man does not need to be very re-
ligious to be disguised with the
blashphenous and s~acrilegious COM
parsons that Mr.. Youmans makes
when he puts certain leaders of the
Nonpartisan movement on the same
plane as Jesus, The Christ. Mr.. YOU

must be something for the cause. He
doesn't include himself in the above
comparison but he nays II am paying

it because of that, or because Mr..
YouEnans has In eye for the future?
Has he any eye on the seat Of Caesar?
No, no! for Mr.. Youmans says, ""Mr.
Townley is a likeable man." and yet,
Mr.. Youmans, like Judas ~Iscariot, be-
trayed his master, Townley, or was
Mr.. Youmans q liar when he said that

state is to be the father and mother
of the child. Under Socialist rule.
which is now being tried out in parts
Of. Russia our children would be
taken care Of by the state and they
would not know anything about
Christ and the bible. A bill passed
by the last legislature of this state
indicates the intention of Socialist
leaders as to the education of the
children Of the state. Just let Social
lists write the text books for the pub
lie schools and the schools be under
the control of a Socialist commission
and in a few years Socialism will reign
supreme in this state. It is to be
hoped that there is still enough Chris
tian activity among the voters Of the
state to kill this Internal law on cleo
ton day. June &c.
II want to give a few quotations on
the subject Of free love by known
Socialist authorities:
Frederick Engels declared that:
Three great obstacles block the path
Of social reform-private property,
religion and the present form Of mar
rage
oscar Wilde write in June, 1902:
Socialism annihilates family life.
With the abolition of private property,
marriage in it's present form must dis
appear. This is part of the program.

heavy general rains were moving
westward with a likelihood that the

four inches was reported, the precipi-
tation has tapered to about a quarter
of an inch, in the extreme northern
districts. where 20 or more points re-
port over an inch Of rainfall.
With an already splendid crop out

rain, coming at a period when grains
usually enter upon their most trying
time of development, that of late
June and early July, prospects are
materially bettered.
The far western district, including
portions Of Golden Valley and ad-
joining counties. has suffered distinct
damage through the long extended
drought. In the Golden Valley con-
siderable grain is being plowed under

The Grand Forks

To the Editor Of The Grand Forks
Herald:
Dear Sir:
1 was not only surprised but dis
gusted on reading Grant s. Youmans'
! political advertisement, IF Christ
Were to Appear On Earth Today
which appeared in your paper on
Thursday, June 18th.
The advertisement contained no
real reason why the electors should
vote for what Mr.. Youmans calls
1.-THE Farmers Laws" He declares
money has been raised by the opposi-
ton to defeat them, forgetting the
fact that the farmers are being suck
ed financially dry to keep a lot of lazy
good-for-nothing agitators whose sole
purpose is to make a fat living out OF
the farmer and to establish Socialism.
vflifes Institutions.
Mr.. Youmans in his advertisement
~villifies many institutions which have
done more for the state than most
people give them credit for. In fact,
had it not have been for the light
which they have thrown upon some
Of the Nonpartisan leaders and their
proposed laws. good old U. S. A.
would nave had a Russia in reality
in North Dakota with Townley as its
Lenine and Walter Thomas Mills az
his chief advisor. Mr.. Youmans says,
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1919-06-23
1t converts tho abolition Of legal re,

1t converts tho abolition Of legal re-
stratnt into q form or freedom that
will help the full development Of per-
sonality and make love Of a and
woman wonderful. more beautiful and
more %ennobling.'
The communist manifesto by
Marks and Engels is very plain on this
subject but very lengthy. It refers
to legal marriage az legalized and pri-
vate prostitution.
1T is impossible for me to believe
that the people Of this state r ready
now to embrace Socialism. On the
contrary l. know that when the
scheming and plotting of Socialist
leaders become known. the people will
arise and throw off the yoke OF So
cialism and let the schemers and
plotters seek new fields for their
propaganda.
I'm conclusion I want to quote DR..
Haldeman from his book. The Signs
of the Times Socialism. as express
ing the latest effort Of the natural
man to go out like, Cain from the
presence Of God and build a city, a
society and a civilization in defiance
of divine order. divine law. divine rev.
citation and divine warning Is a wit
ness that the world. like a ship now
on the breakers. requires only one
more wave to dash it to pieces"

CONTEST FOR CHILD
IN DISTRICT COURT
Grandmother and Father Seek
Custody of Little Jessie
Marie Van Court-Writ of
Prohibition Issued.

A legal contest for the possession of
was given to her grandmother by
adoption on July I, 1918, and whose
father Robert l. Van Court, now
seeks to have her surrendered to him,
has been taken into the district court.
Friday afternoon Judge Reddoch, in
behalf of Sarah r. Van Court, the
grandmother, issued an alternative
writ of prohibition directed against
Judge ID. r. Miller of the probate
court and Robert !. Van Court, which
provides that the probate judge de-
test and refrain from taking fur
Their proceeds in the case of annuling
the adoption of the child upon the APP
plication of the father as asked in
complaint and for which an summons
had already been issued out of pro-
bate court. The writ requires that
Judge Miller and Robert ]. Van Court
appear in district court at 10 o'clock
a. M, Feb. 10 and show cause why
they should not be restrained and pro-
hibited from taking any further ac-
ton in the suit, except to dismiss the
same.
In the application for a hearing ask
ing the annulment of the adoption to
which the father agreed, it is set out
that the grandmother who was made
the legal guardian by reason of the
adoption, is an aged woman, has no
home of her own and lives about with
her children at different places and
therefore is unable to give the child
the proper home and schooling and
being in poor health is not a proper
person TO have the care and custody
of the child. Mr.. Van Court cites that
at the time he agreed to the adoption
of his little girl by her grandmother
that she was taken from his possess
sion by an officer of probate court
and he was given to understand that
unless he agreed to her adoption by
some member of the family, she
would be placed in the Children's
home and rather than assent to such
action, he agreed to the adoption. In
his plea, he cites that he is now mar
ried and can give the child good
home and proper care and schooling.

preston in legislative circles is that

fore the wings could he built and they
might not be finished before the six

The department Of public works is
given jurisdiction to supervise the
construction of the two wings, to en-
ter into contracts for and on behalf

penditure of the funds.
- The final paragraph in the measure
relates to the civic center plan and
says:
''CitiZens of the capital city having
expressed a desire to cooperate with
the state in rendering more suitable
the surroundings Of and approach to
the capitol building, and having in
view the possibility OF establishing a
civic center il Connection herewith,
the department of public works is di-
rccted to proceed with the completion
of the capitol building whenever the
plans and arrangements of the citizens
of Boise in respect thereto have been
perfected to the satisfaction OF said

GETTING Rid of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of cold Is to take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its
value fully proven. No matter what
remedy you use, however, care must be
taken not to contract a second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one. and there is serious danger
of this. A man of middle age or older
should go to bed and stay in bed until
fully recovered. 1t Is better to stay in
bed three days at tire start than three
weeks later on.--Adv. t tn 9.
