with you I must say that they are
attempting to add to the worlds con-
fusion, they are attempting to multi
ply the woes of humanity in order
that when the presidential election
comes in November, 1920. they can
blame it upon the Administration in
power. Voices from audience, they
shall never do it, He said seriously
after shaking his head with wise phil
osophy Characteristic of the man,
Perhaps there will not be any presi-
dental election in 1920 I am glad to
say that in one respect the situation
is not as grave in America. as he be-
ieved, but he knew the conditions
overseas and the time now has come
to put the house Of civilization in or
der. What does the Republican party
propose to do? Mr.. Brandegee, Lodge
and their associates in the Senate
contend as ostensfble plans that the
Lodge reservations should be added.
They said that the instrument was
made it as nearly as possible a perfect
instrument
"You have heard no mention of the
Lodge reservations made since the
Republican convention was held and
the meaningless Republican platform
was made. johnson, who was opposed
to any sort of reservations says it is
all right, and Lodge says 1t is all
right, and the Almighty alone knows
what it means if anything. The
mi1der reservationists say it is all
right. 1t was intended to be mean
ingIess Why? Because if it had been
EN- bodied in the platform johnson
and Bora,h would have boEted and nine
tenths of the Republicans would have
left the organization, SO they wrote
an ambiguous document and it re-
NAMED for the candidate Of the or
ganization to interpret and remodify.
What is his. proposal? It is the un-
thinkable proposal of making a sep
arate peace with Germany, deserving
the Allies. We fought the war with
them; we won the war with them
And when our boys stood watch or
the Rhine, the peace treaty was sign
ed. It was their peace, the presiden.
brought back the peace treaty, the
contamination the soldiers of Ameri-
ca made possible and now the Re
publican candidate for the presidency
says that he is going to throw it into
the waste basket and make another
peace with Germany. That would BE-
a dishonorable act for America to
commit and it would be an overt in
suit to every soldier of the grea:
world wide war. But have no fears
there will not be a separate peace
with Germany because the man who
makes such proposal will never have
the executive opportunity to make it,

BANK Is
BURNED TO GROUND

Mayville, N. D., Jan. 2.-Fire was
discovered in the basement Of the
Farmers bank building here last
night shortly after even ;o'colck. In
spite OF the hard work OF the firemen
the flames could not be subdued and
the entire building and contents were
consumed.
The upper part of the building was
occupied by Judge Ames with his law
Carl Anderson, cashier of the bank.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson were in Hills
,boro attending a New Year; dinner at
the time and the lossN of their belong
ings is total. Judge Ames lost his val
liable collection of law books and
office furniture.
The building was the first brick
structure of the kind built in Mayville,
and was erected in the yea 1888. The
replacement of the bank building
would probably cost 100000, and the
$4,000 to $4,000. Several other
buildings in the immediate vicinity
were nor or less damaged, but were
saved from being consumed by the
good work of the fire department.
Stocks from these buildings were con-
siderably damaged by being removed.
The exact amount of insurance. carried
is not known at this time, but very
thing damaged was insured and the
loss will be only partial.
The origin of the fro cannot be def
initely placed. The coal bins near the
furnace were first discovered to be on
fire. and it is regarded as very likely
that the blaze originated from the fur
mace. The janitof left the building
about six O'clock, and at that time
everything appeared as usual.

Aged Judge Blames
Equalization Board
For Sky-High Taxes

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. I'm a
New Years Letter." as he terms it,
Justice j. E. Robinson of the North
Dakota supreme court asserts that
the present era of high taxes In
North Dakota can be laid rightfully
at the door of the state board of
equalization.
The board Of equalization, says
Justice Robinson. is responsible for
the high valuations on property,
which high valuations had the effect
of removing local tax limits, so that
there vas a general increase of taxes
all down the line-all chargeable to
the hoard of .equalization's action.
Justice Robinson insists there is
ton, and that is by re-convening the
legislature in special session and that
the law makers. be required to do
their duty" 'r
