wreck the thrsshing machines. Fine
fellows, these friends Of Arthur Town
ley. But as already remarked. we
have no serious labor problem in
North Dakota. Everybody is farming
or doing some business Or service con
nected with the farm. Back east,
however, there is a continual labor
problem and many laborers, good, bad
and Indifferent. Millions Of men all
classed as laborers, either because
they work, ought to work or bluff at
working. These millions haze in all
lands at all times always included a
certain down and out element which
consists of criminals, crooks and vag-
abonds. The real laborer who attends
to business v and is or the up
grade is too busy to talk, hold meet
ing or bother other elements which
are not afraid Of work. Others have
time to patronize saloons and other
cumming places and consider the
wrongs inflicted or them by men who
work, save and are successful. Among
this latter crowd was born Bolshevism,
Nihilism, I. w. W.-ism and all the
coarser forms Of socialism, all doc
trines by which a way Is found to
give the man who doesn't care to
work the blessings that honest labor
generally enjoys, such as home, food,
clothes, etc. In order to curry favor
with this bunch Of radicals and also
to prove to the laboring masses back
east that it would be better to follow
Haywood, Debs and Townley than
Gompers and the real leaders of hon
est labor, the farmer legislature was
ordered by Arthur Townley to enact a
series Of labor laws, such as eight-hour
day for clerks in villages Of ver 500
population. labor indemnity, labor
home building, anti~-injunction laws.
None Of these affect the farmers, nor
was there any call for them with the
possible exception of the indemnity
law. But Arthur Townley needed
these laws. Agitators Of his stripe
are always on the lookout for a mob
which they might lead. The most
easily led portion of society, especial
ly into criminal or semi-criminal lanes,
has always been the down and out
element, to which the least thoughtful
portion of real labor frequently may
be added for a short time. Farmers
are not material for mobs. You can
not make a mob Of capitalists. All
farmers are capitalists. Arthur Town
ley knows this. But farmers can bs
wheedled and fooled to furnish the
money necessary %agitators while they
organize their forces. Besides having
paid their money for Townley wisdom,
they will at least stay quiet for a
while. Otherwise they would be the
first to rebel against the destruction
Of property or its contiscation. The
farmers w property, want more
property, believe in working hard to
get property. They do not want the
l. w. w. disorders, they do not want
disturbance and uncertainty. That be.
ing the case, why in the name of com
non sense should they furnish Town
ley with the means to create it? Go
wherever the doctrines Of Socialism,
Communism, Bolshevism or Townley-
ism have been tried in part fully and
you find riot, arson, malicious destruc-
ton Of property, and murder.
In line with his lifelong habit of
plunging and gambling, Arthur Town
ley is playing a wild game for mob
support, and the North Dakota farm
ers are his tools and dupes.

Laws ENACTED FOR CAMPAIGN PURPOSES

Teachers are repressed in u state
n other states, says the Courier
News. That's strange. Considering
that over Is percent Of u teachers
are working for farmer school boards
and that practically every one of them
hopes to teach in town some day be-
cause they get better pay, this fact
put forth by the Courier-News is very
remarkable. Does the Courier:News
mean to say that the farmers are mig
gardly and stingy and do not want to
pay for their children's education?
Didn't the last farmer" legislature
rise and a v the girls from more
than eight hours work in all villages
of over five hundred? OF course it
was noticeable that they didn't pre-
scribe this eight-hour law for farmers
wives and daughters, who frequently
work from fifteen to twenty hours a
day several months Of the year. Since
higher wages are due the teachers, and
no n doubts that and since eight
hours is q good day for village girls,
and no one doubts that, and since the
nomadic bunch of reformers told said
farmer" legislature what and what
not to do, and no one doubts that,
may we not" to quote II absent
President, ask why did that said
bunch fail to raise the teachers salar-
les by fixing a minimum wage and why
did they not help out the farmers
wives and daughters? We should hate
to think that this vas political revenge
because so many of these two classes
voted for Miss Nelson. We should
also hate to believe that it was COW
ardice, a fear to NEEDLE with the
farmers" affairs. No, it couldn't be
that, because they were liberal with
the farmers, especially when it came
to inventing new and interesting tax
laws.
Well, probably it was just the same
weakness that gets most other reform
ers. This notorious Bunch Of reform
ers finds it much easier to regulate
and reform others than to regulate
and reform their own crowd, because
they do claim that they own the farm.

There never was 4 set Of cranks
yet who didn't try to steal the schools.
He who has the schools has the fu'
tuxe. Temperance instruction pre-
cedea saloon destruction. But North
Dakota schools have never been the
victims Of cranks, and Judging by the
united front Of the educational forces,
they wont be either. Children should
not be bothered with Socialism. It's
bad enough to bother grown-ups.

Money For School Land.

Monday the proposal to authorize an
Issue Of $1,000 worth of bonds with
which to purchase land in the town
for school purposes carried by vote
Of II to "a. Nineteen of the ninety
five votes were cast by women.
The land the district purposes to
buy is four lots owned by p. J. Jacob
son. 1t is the Intention of the school
board to use these lots for an extension
of the school grounds. The issue was
brought UP because the state depart
mcnt Of public instruction has ruled
that in order to receive state aid a
school must have FIVE acres Of ground.
1t was claimed that the school would
be asked to return $4,000 of state aid
received in The last four years unless
the land purchase was authorized to
increase the school grounds to five
acres. C. s. Dunkle was elected d.
rector to succeed J. W. Doze.

PUBLISHERS ASKED
TO REDUCE PAPERS
Ten Per Cent Cut in Consump.
ton Urged by Congress-
man Stevenson.

An appeal to newspaper publishers
TO reduce during the next six months
their consumption of newsprint paper
10 per cent has been issued by Con-
gresham Steenerson, chairman of
the House Postoffce Committee, on
behalf of the committee.
This appeal Is expected to take the
place of legislation by the committee
forcing the reduced use of print paper
by refusing second class mailing
privileges to newspapers exceeding
a fixed weight. Such legislation was
provided in bill introduced by Rep
resentative Anthony of Kansas and on
which the Postoffice Committee has
held hearings.
The Steenerson statement and ap-
peal follows: The committee con-
sidered the shortage in the newsprinr
paper supply and believe that unless
consumption can be materially reduc-
ed 1t will result in the destruction
of a large number Of newspapers in
the smaller cities and towns, and in
fiict irreparable injury on the COM
munities served by them; and having
in mind the great results accomplish
ed during the war by the voluntary
and patriotic cooperation OF the peo-
pie in saving food, fuel and other
necessaries, in which you had credit
able part, we appeal to you to reduce
consumption of newsprint paper by at
least 10 per cent during the next six
months, thereby averting the threat
ened injury and ohviating the neces-
sity for repressive measures in the
future"

HARD SENATE FIGHT
FACES SWEET Bill
Smoot Is Determined To Prevent
Action On Measure Before
Christmas Holidays.

Supporters of the Sweet bill, in
creasing the war risk benefits for
disabled service men, will find a live
ly fight on their hands IL they try
to get early action in the Senate.
Senator Smoot of Utah, who would
disintegrate the War Risk Bureau in
the interest of economy, stands ready
to prevent any contemplated action
before the Christmas recess. despite
the optimism of House members that
the Sweet bill Is near find enact
ment.
1t is not likely that there will be
any action on the Sweet bill or any
other War Risk measure in the Sen
ate for a couple OF months. Senator
Smoot is waiting for a chance to in
troduce his bill providing for the
disintegration of the War Risk Blu
reau. Under the measure, he predicts
that with one fell swoop. between
5000 and 5000 employees OF the War
Risk Bureau would find themselves
out of jobs.
In the meantime. Senator Smoot in
tends to hold up action on the Sweet
bill, or any other measure for the
payment OF additional compensation
TO disabled service men. He has made
ii clear that he does not disapprove
liberal treatment of disabled soldiers,
and is ready to go far in legislating
in their behalf The trouble lies with
