MISLEADING THE FARMERS

The Fargo Courier-News says that
1.-The hypocrisy of pretending that
certain leaders will lead farmers as
tray is a vicious slam at the intel
ligence of North Dakota farmers"
Just so. And the Courier-Ne shiv-
ers at the thought of casting suspic-
ion on the intelligence Of the North
Dakota farmer. b
But only a few months ago Jim
Waters was made bank examiner of
the state, and little later he was
made manager of the Bank of North
Dakota, all with the approval Of the
president Of the nonpartisan league
and Of Mr.. Lemke, who is the presi-
dent of the Courier News company.
And j. w. Brinton stumped the state
for and with Mr.. Townley, and, with
the approval of Mr.. Townley, pre-
scented to the farmers of the state the
desirable features of several enter
prises in which Mr.. Townley was in
terested in promoting. The farmers
were given to understand that these
men were patriotic citizens and
trustworthy gentlemen. Now Mr..
Lemke's personal newspaper declar-
es categorically that Waters is a
liar and that Brinton has mismanaged
the interests entrusted to his care in
order that he might promote his own
personal interests: And it appears by
the published correspondence that
whatever the Courier-News and it's
masters know about Waters and
Brinton they have known right along,
and that they have been keeping that
knowledge from the dear farmers con-
corning whose interests they are so
solicitous. rs
Have Waters and Brinton been de-
luding the farmers of North Dakota ?
Have Townley and Lemke been delud-.
ing them, and are they attempting to
continue the delusion? Have both
groups been deluding and deceiving?
Or have the farmers seen through the
whole camouflage, and are they not
deluded at all Grand Forks Herald,

! But there were other things the re-
publican congress did besides enforce
economy. The enactment of q rail-
road bill was necessary q measure
made more difficult because the dem
ocratic administration had scrambled
the railroads during government con-
troll. There was also necessary the
enactment Of the shipping bill design
ed to make successful use of the ships
that had been built during the war and
insure the upbuilding and mainten-
ance of an American merchant marine.
There was legislation for the develop
ment and conservation of water pow
err; for rehabilitation of injured sol
diers; for vocational education, and at
tempted Legislation to repeal the pres
ident's wartime powers with a view to
getting the country back on q peace
time basis. In this latter effort con-
gress had the opposition of the dicta-
tor in the White House by whom its
efforts were frustrated.
These are only few OF the import
ant measures which the republican
congress took up for discussion. Con-
sideration of these and action upon
them was delayed by the prolonged
fight over the league of nations, pre-
cipitated by the stubbornness Of
Woodrow Wilson who insisted that
the United States must make the SUI
preme sacrifice through the adoption
of his league of nations without the

THE ONE-HALF OF ONE PER
CENT ROOSEVELT

Franklin D. Roosevelt was taken to
fill in the democratic national ticket
because his name was Roosevelt. It
it had been anything else he prob
ably would not have been thought of.
He was in Chicago Wednesday night
and is on his way to other states car
rying the name Roosevelt to people
who admire it.
He says that he is out after the pro-.
gressive republicans who were Roose-
welt Republicans. This is his job in
the campaign. He is to put the honey
Of a name on the trap of a ticket.
Franklin Roosevelt is fifth cousin
to Theodore Roosevelt and his rela-
tionship is the closest degree of init
macy he can claim. The last time
Theodore Roosevelt headed a national
ticket Franklin Roosevelt was work
ing for one of his opponents, Wood
row Wilson, and within week after
Wilson was inaugurated Franklin
Roosevelt was made assistant secre-
tary Of the navy, a job he now holds.
Because Franklin's name is Roose-
welt, because he was in the New York
legislature, and because he is as
sistant secretary Of the navy, he is
put forward as another Theodore. II
he is, then Billy Sunday is Mormon.
Theodure Roosevelt as assistant sec
rotary Of the navy made it possible for
Dewey to win at Manila and Sampson
to win off Santiago. Franklin Roose-
welt as assistant secretary Of the navy
navy has helped California to see half
the American fleet.
Franklin is as much like Theodore
as clam is like bear cat. Before
Roosevelt would have tolerated JOS
ephus Daniels as chief he would
have made the Los Angeles phenom-
enon, the sprinkle Of bricks, nation
al phenomenon, with the focal point
I in Washington.
Frankling Roosevelt is one Of the
fifty-fifty feet men, fifty for Pacific
votes, fifty for Atlantic votes, and
none for the enemy. If he is Theodore
Roosevelt, Elihu Root is Gene Debs
and Bryan is brewer Chicago Tri-
bune.

interested in the prosperity of your
own state and country, you cannot Of
ford to MISS this book. The many
sided knowledge is so presented as to
form a mount of vision from
which we can see some of the steps
by which progress has thus far been
attained and looking in the opposite
direction can prepare to progress still
further. The author is no blind opti-
mist, however. It depends upon q
man himself whether he continues to
20 on or whether he let's himself be
aparalyzed into complacency." The
book IS sane, well balanced ,consid-
eratior, of the theories of progress and
of atrophy, leaves no excuse for stand
ing still or going backward. 1t is a
book to be reckoned with. It is re-
minder that eternal vigilance, now as
always, is the price of liberty. It is
illustrated by many charming North
Dakota pictures.

Monday night between IL and i
O'Clock the automobile of Mack Sim
clair was stalled on the n. P. track
,atsthe railroad crossing between
jamestown and Bloom. A wheel
dropped from the car as the auto was
crossing the north track Of the touble
track. Mack and will Sinclair en-
deavored to signal a west bound train
and waved coats and turned the auto
light on the track to attract the atten-
ton Of the engineer who whistled in
response. Instead of stopping, how
ever, the engineer, mistaking the sig
nal for the light Of another train, came
on at full speed and literally ademol-
ished the auto as it was impossible to
remove it. from the track. Nothing
was saved but the grips. The train
was stopped about three lengths from
the crossing and the florists con-
tinued the journey to Jamestown by
railroad train. JAMESTOWN Alert.

a copy Of "The Despoilers," stories
Of the North Dakota grain fields, by
our fellow towns,nan, J. E. Buttree,

rooted in the soil of North Dakota,
from the pioneer days Of the "sod

PARK HOTEL CHANGES

The Park hotel which has been
changing hands several times here
of late was again sold this week to
Lake Martinsen. In an interview
with Mr. Martinsen he informed us
that he intended to make quite ex-
tensive improvements which will in
clude a new front. remodeling OF
Vail the rooms, installing an adequate
heating plant and new floors. In
fact Mr.. Martinsen said he intended
to remodel the building SO that it
would be a credit TO the city OF Au-
dubon. 81
The lower floor or basement will
be converted into an auto room, eth
er as salesroom or for the storing
of cars for the guests of the hotel.
When asked II he intended to fiji
the position of "mine host" he said
Goodness no, but there will be
someone in charge who knows how
to conduct good hotel"
This viii be good news to the peo-
pie of Audubon as well as the trav-
cling public. For more than year
Audubon has suffered from the poor
hotel accommodation that has been
furnished. and many transients have
given the town the go-by. AS soon
as arrangements can be made the re-
pair work will be commenced. It
Is hoped that by the middle of the

that the chief of all the public sew
ices is to be liable to indefinite sus-
pension, and that the government of
the United States is to be subject to
the dictation and coercion from
small class of citizens, at the will OF
some professional agitators' seeking

the government itself There used
to be some talk-we have heard
mighty little of it in recent years
about the railroads controlling or
owning the government. This pres
ent proposition of Mr.. Gompers and
his associates provides in the bald
est manner for the ownership and
control of the government, body,
soul and boots, by the union Of rail-
road employees. Perhaps we
should not be greatly surprised at
their making the demand. after the
manner in which the administration
has catered and cringed to them.
But in the last analysis the govern
ment of this country is not any tenn
porary administration, but the
whole people; and ownership of the
whole people by any class thereof is
something which we do not expect
to see in the Twentieth Century

by the government as ownership OF
the government. For it is to be not
ed that every one of these advocates
of extension OF government control
is equally voluble and emphatic in
deprecating and denouncing any in

What is the inevitable logic of the
two demands thus placed together?
The government is to control and
operate the roads; therefore it is to
be the employer of all the employees.

to retain unimpaired the right to

ENJOYING LIFE in CALIFORNIA

ENJOYING LIFE in CALIFORNIA
We are just in receipt OF a newsy
letter from Mr.. and Mrs. James
Blake whoeare spending the winter
in California. The letter was writ
ten December 26th and sent from
Los Angeles. Among other things
they said they reached their destina-
ton after four days and three
nights travel, and, only five hours
late. They report snow all of the
way to Salt Lake City and from
there on the weather was warmer.
Mr.. Blake has been running around
in his shirt sleeves and says he en-
joys the experience. They spent
Christmas at the home of Mrs.
Blake's cousin in Pasadena where
group of 22 enjoyed all the turkey
and ''trimmin's" that could be put
on the table. Mrs. Blake says they
have had the windows and doors OPP
en- all OF the time and that she had
the novel experience of going out in
to the grove opick oranges and lem
ons. From the tone of the letter
these Audubon people are having the
time of their lives where the winter
months are warm and where the lit
tie boys go barefoot the year round.
We want them to have a good time
and return to Audubon when the
flowers bloom again, for while il is
nice to go visiting yet there is no
place on earth like the place where
you are surrounded with lifelong
friends.
