SOCIAL MEETING
WAS SUCCESS

The annual social gathering at the
M. E. church Tuesday night was an
other victory . for the fun makers.
Young and old forgot their troubles,
apparently at least, sand entered into
the affair in a spirit of genuine mirth
and good will. Those who lead had
prepared program of stunts, songs,
and speeches which were much en-
joyed. The committee took advantage
Of the fact that the time was so near
St. Patrick's Day and accordingly the
decorations Of the parlor and the
medals" with which each person was
labeled were suggestive of the gifted
Saint and the spirit Of Old Ireland.
Among the noteworthy stunts pull
ed off" was violin solo by Theodore
Finney, an original medley by the
"Queer Quartet" and a newspaper"
read by Miss Josephine Wright.
Refreshments consisting Of pie a
la whipped cream, doughnuts, waters
and coffee helped to round out an eve
ming of real fun and good cheer.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
HAS FINE SMOKER

! Saturday night the Commercial
Club members were hosts to the tray
cling men and enjoyed very pleasant
smoker and social time with the
knights Of the grip, many of them be-
get together affair to talk over ways
and means for the travelling men and
the people of this city to work togeth-
er for the building of a bigger and
better Valley City. We realize that
the travelling men can do more to help
town than any other class, because
they travel from one end of the state
to the other and spread the gospel of
boost for whatever town they call
home. Hon. Lee Cowell presided as
chairman Of the gathering and filled
his chair with distinction and credit,
he called on many of the travelling
men and members of the club for
talks and suggestions along the lines
we have mentioned and there were
many to the point little speeches
made. 1t was nice gathering and it
is the intention of the Commercial club
to have more with more entertainment
for the travelling men next fall when
the winter season comes again. We
realize that the travelling men are a
great asset to our town and that if
more apartments were available more
would come here to live. We have two
great transcontinental railroads run
ming through this city and no town
has better facilities for getting in and
out then has Valley City and no town
has more beautiful natural advant-
ages besides having all the modern
anywhere. Valley City has got to and
will grow

LEAGUE SPEAKER
COULD NOT EXPLAIN

A Mr.. Griffith, a nonpartisan league
speaker, held a meeting at Sanborn
Saturday afternoon. There was
good crowd present and the gentleman
got to going pretty strong in bucking
the referendum petitions. DR.. Lang
and several others asked him some
questions about these matters which
the speaker could not or would not
explain and the speaker was compell-
ed to quit his talk. It is no use trying
to camouflage and these speakers
should come across clean and in the
open. If they cannot give any legiti-
mate reason why these measures
should not be referended they should
not attempt to muzzle the farmers or
get them to refrain from signing the
petitions. The truth is what is want
ed-not bluff. No one was hurt at
this meeting. The people want the
facts. That's all.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1919-03-27

The Times-Record understands that
some of the league leaders of this vi
entity are endeavoring to get a state
mill or the bank located at Valley
City. If the state is going to go into
these various businesses we are in
favor of having the institutions locat-
ed here. Valley City offers as fine,
facilities for these public enterprises
as any town in the state, and if they
are to be located anyway, there is no
reason why we should not get one or
more of these projects. Let's go after
them and accomplish something for
this city.

Referendum petitions for putting
several Of the bills passed by the late
legislature to the people, have been in
circulation here and throughout the
county and are being freely signed.
The people are waking up and intend
to get these measures before the peo-
pie so that a free and above board ex-
PLANTATION Of the various measures can
be secured. It is useless for those
who are opposed to the referendum
because they are afraid to let the light
of day on their work, buck the propo-
sition, because it is going to come and
they cannot stop it. The people are
getting aroused over the taxation
problems that threaten to bear so
heavily upon them and they want to
"know." The Times-Record wants the
light Of day shed upon these matters.
If there is nothing wrong with the
bills as passed the people themselves
will say so at the special election
which will be held after the petitions
have been filed with the secretary of
state. Those who have been in the
minority are asking the same square
deal from the majority that the ma
jority when minority asked of the
old gang, and didn't get, and which
finally put them out of power to what
purpose-to put another bunch in that
are much worse than the ones they
put out. There has been profigate ex-
penditure of the peoples money by
those in control of state affairs, the
taxation bills passed by the last legis.
lature call for enormous and unneces.
sary taxes and the "people want tx
know" about it and Mr.. Townley anc
{ his orators are going around the
country trying to discourage tn.
farmers and others from signing thu
referendum petitions. If the laws arr
right why is he doing this Won
the work of his caucus governed auto
matte legislators stand the light o:
day? That's what the people are ask
ing and that is what they want tt
know about. Sign the petitions and i
you do not favor the bills after hear
ing them discussed publicly, vot'
against them. If you are satisfied
vote for them. This is simple enough
and square enough. The men VIII
have axes to grind and money to ex
tract out Of the people, and some VIII
want job like being the head Of tn
jamestown asylum for instance, o

in holding the men to what they con-

Among the bills passed by the leg
judges and redistricting the state for
judiciary purposes. This bill is being
referended to the people for rejection
or approval. The Times-Record has
it from reliable authority that in the
event the bill stands Valley City will
get the new judicial chambers and
the judge-it matters not who the
judge will be we shall get the cham
bers here. This means quite little
to this city as it brings in a number
of people all the time. We are just
mentioning this without going into the
merits or dement's of the bill so that
those who are signing petitions to ref
erend this measure can use their own
judgment whether they want to sign
this petition or not.
think IN INTEREsT-SAvE-
The Times-Record is not going to
oppose any of the real measures pass
ed by the legislature that are for the
benefit of the farmer, such as the ele
vator and milling projects. If the
farmers want to try out this system
of state ownership of these institu
lions all we'll and good. This is an
agricultural state and the farmers are
in great big majority and to them
largely and their farm production de-
ponds the life of the state and it's de-
velopment. We think that if the
farmers can better their condition by
having state owned elevators and
mills they are entitled to it and we
are willing to pay whatever extra tax
is imposed upon US for that purpose.
We are opposed to the educational bill,
which takes the running Of the schools
out of the hands of the superinten-
dent Of public instruction. We are
opposed to the taking over of the
school funds of the state to be placed
in jeopardy by speculative enterprises.
We are opposed to the newspaper bill
for the reason that it muzzles the
press, subsidies few papers that are
to be benefciaries under the new bill
and creates a big machine fostered
and fed by political pap as we'll
as debating to others what they shall
do with their own personal and pri-
vate business, for this reason we ask
the people of Barnes county to sign
the petitions for a referendum so that
the people may get light on these
matters and then at the special cleo
ton vote as the dictates Of their con-
science may lead them to on these
matters. It is not our purpose to oD-
pose any measure that will be Of bene-
fit to the people of North I:akota.

KAISER AUTHOR or war,
STATES MONACO PRINCE
Absolutely Wished 1t, and Con.
Quoted 1t Himself in All
Its Barbarity.

There is no doubt that the former
German emperor was the first and re-
sponsible author of the war. He abb
solutely wished for II and conducted 1t
himself in all its ruthlessness and
barbarity."
This Is a statement attributed to the
prince of Monaco by the London Nails
Paris correspondent. who interviewed
n prince there. The correspondent
recalls that the prince of Monaco was
formerly a personal friend of Emperor
William. but that friendship was sew
cred by the prince In a telegram sent
to the former emperor In September,
1914.
Until a few years before the war;"
the prince Is quoted as saying, ''the
German emperor seemed to sincerely
wish peace and a renewal of inter-
course with France. I know this be-
cause / was intrusted with a mission
to try to bring 1t about. But mt the
same time n terrible megalomania was
growing In him. He was anxious to
see Germany over all, and from the
day when he felt 1t impossible to at
tain this end by peace. war became an
obsession with him.
Il shall never forget the fury IN his
face and hatred In his voice when, In
July, 1914, he told me If they oblige
me 10 make war the world win see
what 1t never dreamed Of These
words were hypocritical, because the
emperor could not pretend the war
into which he declared himself driven
was not at that very time being pre-
pared for In every detail"

Boyhood Waiting for Men.
There are hundreds of thousands of
boys waiting all over the country to
become registered scouts. Men alone
are needed to head them. The local

universal condition when II says:
There are 30 organized troops Of
boy scouts In Jersey city. and 921
boys are enjoying the opportunity to

boys and bigger men. There might
just as well be 50 troops as 30, 1000
boys getting the benefits of scouting
instead Of 1000.
