mail? If you do not, then you must vote against
the Smelling Committee law, because that law
makes 1t possible for committee of five men,
all of them members Of the same political faction
or party, to use $4,000 Of taxpayers money for
political purposes.
This committee, or even It's chairman alone,
can cause private Investigations to be made for
private political purposes and, under the pre-
tense of making Investigations, political hench-

1t may be true of few members of the Nom
partisan League as it is Of most of the leaders
in it, that they would want such law in opera
ton for the purpose of gaining political advan-
tage over those that are opposed to them, but
certainly majority of the league members are
too honorable to want to use either the money,
records or offices of the state government as
means of profit for themselves or for the pur-
pose of promoting their personal political be-
|liefs, getting their personal friends into pub.
lie office It is we'll to remember that any law
that works unfairly in favor of the League and
against those opposed to it, will work just as
unfairly against the League and in favor Of
those who oppose it.
No political gang Of any kind will ever get
chance to use this law if the people vote it down
now.
Talk to your neighbors about how needless,
expensive and dangerous this law is, and get
them to agree with you that they are going to
vote it down.

The State Sheriff Law

Why should the voters of North Dakota Gre
ate another law-enforcing office with an appro-
priaton Of $4,000, and with loop-hole for an
unlimited possible expense?
We have constables and justices of the peace
In every township and in every village, police
magistrates and police force in every city, a
states attorney, sheriff and deputy sheriffs in
every county, state and county grand jures,
courts Of all kinds, an attorney generals office,
licensing and inspection department, and a
National Guard, all of it operating at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers for the purpose of main
tanning law and order.
We have had no serious riots or outbreaks,
and there is no reason to believe that we will
have any in the near future, so why have a law
adding state sheriff and state constabulary
to all the rest of the machinery which we now
have? Do you as citizen of North Dakota be-
lieve that it is wise to authorize the governor to
appoint state sheriff, who shall have authority
to order all county sheriffs deputy sheriffs, and
other peace officers, to do anything he wants
them to do, and to remove them from office if
they fail to do it? If the State Sheriff law is
approved on June 30th, that is what will happen
in North Dakota. Talk to your neighbors about
this law. Hand them literature. Get them
along with you to meetings where they may hear
this law discussed. Ask them to vote mo" on
this law on primary election day.

WI h Flag!
Do you believe at we in North Dakota
should permit the anarchists who shot our SOL
der boys on Arnistice Day to parade thru the
streets of our cities carrying the red flag, in
front Of their procession? Do you believe that
we should tolerate in our midst anywhere, the
emblem Of an organization which puts in it's
official song-book such sacrilege as this:
"Onward Christian soldiers! Duty's way is plain:
Blay your Christian neighbors by them be slain. =
Pulpiteers spouting effervescent swill, =,
God above is calling you to rob and rape and kill,
All your acts sanctioned by the Lamb high;
you love the Holy Ghost go murder, pray and die"
And such melting to revolution as this:
Come on, you fellows; get in line; We'll fill the boss
with fears;
Reds the color Of flag; it's stained with blood and
Wen out it in his ugly and ring loudcst cheers
For ONE BIG INDUSTRIAL UNION!

The Absent Voters Law


Do you believe it would be a wise thing for
the voters of North Dakota to so amend the
Absent Voters law as to make it possible for
people who are not electors to vote in any pre-
cinct they may choose, by means of the Absent
Voters ballot?
Do you believe that the women of our state
should be put in such position that they will
have to mark their ballots in the presence of a
political agent, whether he is member of the
Nonpartisan League, the l. V. A. or any other
organization that is especially interested in our
political situation?
It is we'll enough to propose to make it easier
for the women to vote, but if that were the
whole motive, why not leave the law in such
shape as to protect the secrecy of the ballot,
which was guaranteed to every citizen that has
come into our state? Tell your neghbors about
this law and ask them to vote mo" on it.

HONEYMOONS IN ODD PLACES
Persons of Adventurous Disposition Have Spent Then Amid Arctic ;
 and Savage Dangers.

MT. Elkins. the wealthy young American who recently took his bride for honeymoon ",,s near the North pole as he can comfortably get" Is by no means the first bridegroom who has spent his. month of honey" in this chilly environment. says London Answers.
 A few years ago Mir. Max Fletsch- mann. Chicago millionaire. at his brides request. took her straight from the altar to the Arctic wastes. where they spent, on their own evidence. delightful" months. hunting seals, reindeer and polar bears. two of which fell to the brides own gun. Mrs. Fleischmann's honeymoon wardrobe, we are told consisted of an assort- ment of sheepskin dresses, lined with leather.
 Less chilly, but no less adventurous, was the honeymoon journey of Major POwell-COttOn, who took his bride on a long and hazardous Journey through Africa. spending many months in the heart of the Ituri forest. hunting the okapi and making friends of the say age pigmies. who had never before even seen white woman.
 But the most daring and adven- turous of all recorded honeymoons was that of Captain Andrews, an American sailor, and his bride. who started to cross the Atlantic In "cOckleShell." 12 feet long. and were never seen again.

New York Landmarks Going.

The downtown" section of New York is losing one of its landmarks by the demolition of the Eastern hotel to make room for an office building. For nearly hundred years 1t has been the favCrite hostelry of American seafarfng folk. "Dynamite Johnny' O'Brien, well-known for his practice of shipping arms to the Latin American countries, concocted many of his fili- clustering schemes In this hotel which he made his Headquarters.
 One of the features of this build- ing was its beams of solid mahogany. In 1922, when 1t was constructed. car goes of supplies were frequently shipped from New York to South American ports, and when return cargo could not be secured mahogany was brought back, serving the purpose of both cargo and ballast. These car goes were sold cheaply. and were often used in the construction of New York buildings of that period.
