WHAT!

Here is clipping sent us by H. N.
Turner, ofrmer Lintonite, now living
in Pine City, Mimi:
About this time in days gone by
the Merchants Hotel in St. Paul would
be taking on color. Its lobbies would
be filled with strangers and prominent
in the amen corner would be seen such
celebrities as Alec Mckenzie, Senator
Hansborough, Jud Lamoure and others
prominent in the political life of
North Dakota. It was slate making
time and Bismarck would be practic-
ally moved intact into it's spacious
rooms and lobbies. For brief period
the Merchants Hotel would be to all
intents and purposes the capitol of
the f1ickertail state. All this color is
gone now and perhaps never to re,
turn. Jud Lamoure is dead and when
Big Alec Mckenzie last registered at
the old holstery is not within the men,
ory of many. He has taken to more
honest and peaceful pursuits and his
haunts ara elsewhere. AS to the 9TH
er. the we'll worn tile floor of the big
lobby no longer echoes the tread Of
their feet or it's walls their whispered
deals. North Dakota's State capital
is now block distant and the sign on
the door reads "Nonpartisan League,
A. c. Townley, President" Inside
the twenty or more offices which con-
stitute this new Bismarck many type
writer's click and the musical ring of
metal is heard. The employees are
numerous. It is the new order of
things. Alec and his followers begot
Townley and the query now is who
will Townley beget.

LEGION TO HAVE CLUB ROOMS

A committee Of American Legion
members is busy this week arranging
for the use of building in town for
club rooms for Legion members.
Plans are under way to secure the
basement of the First National Bank,
commonly known as the band hall.
The place can be secured very reas-
onably, heat furnished.
A few card tables, games, books,
boxing gloves, etc., will make the club
very popular among the Legion men,
bers, at very small financial outlay.
It is the intention to have the place
conducted in such a manner that harm
less entertainment will be provided,
gambling or things of that kind be-
ing taboo.
At the Legion meeting Friday night,
there was also considerable discus
sion relative to the requirements of
a ladies' auxiliary to the Legion. La
day relatives Of Legion members can
form such organizations, getting their
charter through the local post. It is
ute probable that such an organiza-
tion will be under way here soon..
The new membership cards are
here, but the Legion convention fixed
the fiscal year from Jan. 1st to Dec.
31st, also raising the dues dollar
per year to cover subscription to the
American Legion Weekly. Local post,
members may be paid up to next Dec.
31st, and receive weekly the national
legion magazine, by the payment of
$3.50 at this time.
Buttons o5 membership are still
not available. The post ordered them
several months ago, and paid for
them, but the state headquarters
cashed the check and pigeonholed the
order. They have promised quick ac-
ton. .ss

Failure To Recognize Organizations

commission in its report Just pub

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. said
the failure of the conference to recog-
nfze definitely the organizations of
workers-trade unions-as the basis
for representation, was a fatal omis-
sion, while Frank Morrison, secretary
of the federation, noting the absence
of reference by the conference to col
lective bargaining or the necessity for
organization of workers, said anyone
who would avert or postpone indus.
trial conflicts could not ignore these
principles. g..
Mr.. Gompers declared the commits

fldence and cooperation Of wage earn
ers which can be expressed only
through organizations Of their own
making"
Compulsory Features oecrled.
ANY plan to establish or maintain
anything like fair relations between
workers and employers must avoid
compulsory features" he declared.
Any proposal for compulsory labor is
repugnant to American sovereignty
and citizenship.
Mr.. Morrison said the declaration
against government employees Joining
the American Federation of Labor
would indicate that the commission
has been affected by the temporary
wave of anti-unionism."

His Royal Highness continues to be
deluged with love notes, crank letters
and at least one proposal of marriage
daily from the United States.
Ard it may be stated on the au-

secretary and the Prince have gay
tine daily going through the mail

Since his return the Princes letter
pouch has contained something like
$4,000 letters weekly, covering every
conceivable subject. The "cream" of
these is handed him for persual and
from the high voltage love miss!ves
he gains vast amusement, according
to his secretary. Most of these are
from girls who got passing glimpse
at "His Royal Highness' either at
New York or Washington. Scores CT
others send snapshots taken of him
during his visit over there. Some girls
send photographs of themselves by
way of good measure.

Prince answers personally" his secre-
tary said today. "His Royal Highnsss
is really not at all displeased at the
volume of his mail from the United

shots taken and some of the letters,

CASE OF THE, KAISER

Holland to Fcsse. Surrender

OElclalS Say bslLdM NuSt iAttS~'
Holland to Fo,ce Surrender
Washington, Jan. 2s.-UnlesE
Great Britain actually invades. Hol.
land and takes thegfofmer KaiserI by
force, William of Hohenzollern will
never be brought to trial, in the
opinion of officials and diplomats
here.
These officials discount the re-
port that the Kaiser will be tried
: in his absence for the reason that
he has already been tried and found
guilty by. all Of the allied nations.
1t is regarded here as conclusive
that Holland has so rebuffed, the
allies that diplomacy undertaken to
effect the surrender of the Kaiser
is no longer feasible.
In addition it is pointed out here
that the allies, even before the dis
patch Of their note demanding the
Kaiser, knew that Holland in all its
history had never surrendered po-
litical prisoner. Therefore, the dip
lomatic opinion here is that Lloyd
George simply pressed for the sur
render of the former monarch in or
der to square himself with the Brit
ish electorate and with the treaty
which he himself framed. He will
now be in position to say that he
tried by every available method to
bring about the surrender of the ore
time German monarch, and that
Holland has practically declared that
the only way to get him out is fer
Germany to make the request, but
even under the laws and traditions
of the Netherlands such a surrender
would only be granted on condition
that the extradited person be not
tried for a political offense.
