POLAND.

Poland has appealed to the Annert-
can government for an expression OF
sympathy n moral support In her
conflict with Russian Bolshevism. Ths
request is a reasonable one and should
be granted.
The United States IL not q partisan
In any conflict between Russia and
Poland, but Just now there liz no such
thing as Russia. Poland liz q nation
with an established. responsible gov
eminent. and it's existence is menaced
by assaults from a mob directed by a
little group of self-appointed despots.
The reconstruction of Poland lis one of
the logical results OF the war TO which
the United States was a party.
II our purpose In entering the war
was the crushing Of the military power
OF Germany and the permanent re-
moval Of that power as an Influence
in the affairs Of the world. that pur-
pose must have included all its nee
essary and logical results. Among
those results were the Liberation of
many peoples. perfectly capable OF
self government. from the thralldom
which they had suffered for genera
tons. In setting those peoples free
from their former governors We as
sumed Il certain responsibility for
their future. To declare them free,
and to give them no assistance in
maintaining their freedom would have
been a mockery.
The Polish people were ono of the
important groups thus affected by
u act. Whether we put 1t In writ
ing or not. when We made war on
Germany we pledged ourselves that
Poland should be given an opportunity
again to take her place In the family
OF Independent nations. and ncither
the United States nor her associates
In the war will be carrying out tho
spirit of their obligation unless they
render Poland whatever assistance
may be necessary while she Is re-es-
t%ablishing her national existence.
The easy course. manifestly. IL to
excuse ourselves politely to Poland
while declining to expreas any opinion
As to the merits of the struggle In
which h IL engaged. The easy thing.
for tho time being, would have been
to keep out of the war altogether.
But. aside from what that course
might have meant 10 us In tho future,
that would have been the cowardly
and dishonorable course. And 1t
would be cowardly and dishonorabls
for us now to fail to give necessary
encouragement to the nation which
we have helped to recreate.

TIE INDEPENDENT TICKET.

The several bodies which have CO.
operated In tho endorsement OF candi.
dates for state positions who. taken
together. constitute an independent
ticket, are to be congratulated on their
work. They have done tho natural
and obvious thing In selecting for en-
dorsement tho men whose names now
appear on this ticket and II the vot-
ers at large display a similar concep-
ton OF the needs of tho state. and a
similar willingness to decide state Is
sues from the state standpoint. there
need be no doubt that not only the
will be rescued from control
of the forces of Socialism, but that the
great executive departments of the
state as we'll will be directed by men
who recognize their responsibility to
the people of tho state. and who do
not acknowledge allegiance to a cabal
OF dangerous m~alcontents who have
intended their seizure Of control of tho
government of North Dakota to be
merely the preliminary to the destruc-
ton OF everything representative and
responsible In the American system
at large.

The rest Of the ticket IL divided
among the two parties, Independent
Republicans who were nominated at
the primary being endorsed, and
Democrats being recommended for
other positions. In tho deliberations
of the committee there was perfect
accord. and the conclusions reached
are worthy Of the acceptance Of the
people of the state.

FINE FAIR.

The past week has added another
to tho list of successful fairs held in
Grand Forks. When a fair manage
mont has done all that can DO done
by human effort, tho success of tho
enterprise remains largely a matter of
weather. In the present case fine
weather waa added to capable man
agement, And the results were all that
could be desired.
The management Of tho fairs held
In Grand Forks has in recent years
como to rely~in considerable measure
for public patronage on tho reputa-
ton which 1t has established in the
past. But 1t has not made the mis-
take which is often mAda of attempt
ing to substitute past performance for
present achievement. There has been
tho confidence that the record of past
years would incline the public favor
ably toward the fair of each succeed
ing year. but in every ase that record
has been kept good by putting into
each fair the very best attainable.

cuse for a cessation Of effort, but rs

GOVERNMENT AND PROS
PElfITY. 4

No government can make a nation
prosperous. Prosperity IN an andi'
ytdual matter, and 1t depends on indi-
sVtdual effort. But, willis government
Tcannot create prosperity. It can OBJ
ssstrnGt and impede It, and. In some
cases. 1t can destroy It,
The United States has been q pros
porous nation. It Ii not as prosper
Gus today as 1t should be, and not az
prosperous as 1t appears to be when
only the dollar Is used as the measure.
within a very short time prices OF
property of all kinds have risen
amazingly. The owners of this prop
arty ran credit themselves today with
more dollars of value than a year or
five years ago.. In reality they are
no richer. In many cases they are
actually poorer. They have no more
property than they had, and they
may not be able to exchange what
they have for as great a quantity of
other property as they could some
time ago,
One unfortunate result OF the pad
ding of prices Is that 1t has created
q baseless illusion of new wealth
which the owners, in many cases,
have spent for something which they
did not need and could not AFFORD.
Many a home formerly unincumbered
now carries a. mortgage representing
the purchase of some bit OF pleasure
which would not have been INDUCED
in had It not been hat the property
took on a new value In dollars much
greater than the old. The differ ence
looked like velvet. and IT. a used in
the smooth. easy, comfortable manner
appropriate to velvet, But the pres-
ant situation Is that the pleasure has
Vanished. nothing substantial remains,
ana the owner Of the property finds
himself encumbered with a debt
which 1t may take him years to wipe
out. He Is poorer than he was.
Against that sort OF thing govern
ment can provide no protection. The
only reliance must be IN sobriety, in
duatry and common senae of the peo-
ple themselves. The only way in
which prosperity can be assured l.

Miss Lesser was shot she advised her
not to marry New. because. In the
opinion of the witness. he was OF ar

The testimony of Miss Clancy was
in support of the position taken by the
defense that the shooting was caused.
it New did It, byS the refusal OF Miss
Lesser to marry him. Two confessions
of the shooting, both signed by New,
have been admitted in evidence. Each
confession held the statement that
Miss Lesser had refused to marry and
that ne had shct hef because cs~.hat

the course OF it's ease. to establish that
Miss Lesser was ready to marry New,
and that the shooting was IN fact due
to his desire to evade marriage.
When Miss Clancy first took the
stand sine told OF her childhood with
New, who, she said, was eight years
her senior: then she gave evidence of
his mental condition on which she
based the expressed opinion that he
had the mind of a child of 10 years.
Miss Clancy said that because OF
this conviction she saw Miss Lesser

not believe New was fitted for mar

off her engagement. she saio she
never saw Miss Lesser after the con-
versation.
