the boys to France. It still retains it's
reputation for furnishing lively music
Besides the weiners and marshmal~
lows, coffee and buns were partaken Of

good things were looked after by the

make sure everybody was enjoying
themselves and last but not least,
that everybody was getting enough TO-
eat. H. ~. lG

A very neat surprise party was Civ
ensMiss Marie Zaun, at the home Of
her parents, Carl Zaun, five miles
south of Valley City, on "wednesday
evening, July %, the occasion being the
young lady's birthday. About thirty
young people gathered about two
o'clock in the afternoon. A general
social time was enjoyed during the
afternoon, and at six, o'clock a boun-
teous lunch was served the guests in
the dining room. After lunch, games
were enjoyed and later in the evening,
the chairs and other furniture was
moved back and dancing was enjoyed
until about one O'Clock. Miss Zaun was
presented with several nice presents
by the young people to serve as re-
membrance of the occasion.

PROTECTING THE "WOBBLIES"

It is part of the Farmers program"
to protect I. w. w. thugs? ssfs.
Governor Frazier appears to think
I. w. w. have attempted to estab-
lish a reign of terror in North Dako-
ia. Harvest hands who are fully sat
isied with the fair wages offered. and
who are eager to go to work, are in
Inundated and threatened with person
al violence by gangs of "wobblies"
who are holding out for wage of 81
a day with board. Nor are the threats
just empty threats. They are often
followed with personal violence. With.
the crop ready to harvest, with the
farmers calling for help and willing
to pay wages Of 81 day, with hun
dreds of men available and eager for
the jobs, a few hundred l. w. w. are,
terrorizing the state.
And Governor Frazier goes out Of
his way to pose as their official guard
ian. Instead of sternly denouncing
their tactics and warning them that
they are breaking the law by their
threats and intimidations and often
by actual violence, our precious Rub
Der Stamp warns the various police
officers and sheriffs to be careful to
observe the law strictly. *
Think of it! ~
If banks were being robbed, would
Lynn Boycott Frazier warn the sher-
ifs to be careful not to treat bank rob-.
bers too roughly? &
If murders were being committed
in the state, would the Rubber Stamp
think it necessary to warn the sheriffs
not to be hard on murderers? Or
would he warn the bank robbers and
murderers of what was in store for
them? @
1t isn't necessary to warn officers to
observe the law. Nobody advocates
exceeding the law in handling the
'wobblies." They have right to
strike if they want to. and to demand
any wage they see fit. But the effect
of the governors proclamation is to
place the full weight of the state ad-
ministration on the side of the ''wob-
blies" instead of on the side of law
and order. They feel that the gov
ernor is in sympathy with their meth
ods-and apparently he is-and they
are giving redoubled confidence and
assurance in combating the efforts Of
local authorities break up the reign
of terror they are trying to establish.

TIE UP THE SCHOOL FUND

With the program of laws proposed
fors initiation at the coming fall cleo
ton, The Forum is in hearty accord.
But there is one law we would like
to have seen added to the list. It may
be too late to do it this year, but it
should be kept in mind and initiated at
the first opportunity.
That would be law making it i'm
possible to divert our immense school
fund from the use for which it was in
tended. Our magnificent school fund
is a trust gift from Uncle Sam. It
was given to North Dakota in trust
for the education of the children Of
the state. Hitherto, by what seems
like intervention of Providence, the
Socialists have been unable to get con-
troll of the board which handles this
fund. It has been kept out Of the
reach of the red fingers of the Social
ist gang which rules the state.
But that condition may not continue.
Now is the time to safeguard the fund.
The voters are aroused to their dan
ger. They are beginning to think for
themselves, and no longer follow Mr..
Townley's leadership blindly. They
have sharply rebuked him on numer-
Gus occasions lately, as for examule in
the initiated and referred laws at the
recent primary. It would not be diff
ficult to frame an amendment to the
present law throwing stricter safe
guards about the fund, and specifying
the securities in which it may he in
vested so as to prevent its use for
Sociaistic experiments.
Perhaps we can keep the socialists
from getting control Of the board, but
if we can't there is still an opportun-
ity, through such a law, to keep the
Order of the Itching Palm from get
ting its dirty political fingers into the
millions of dollars set aside as trust
fund for the education Of the chill
dren Of North Dabota.
Do we want that trust fund "shot to
other league banks?
Do you want it left at the mercy of
bank examiners who warn shaky
banks when inspections are about to
be heidi
Do we want it loaned to Wall street
Spectators?
Il Do we want it kept on deposit with
Chicago bankers in return for the pur-
chase Of state industrial bonds?
Do we want it loaned to friends and
relatives Of the Socialist politicians?
Do we want it poured into the bot
tomless pit Of state flour mills, state
home building enterprises, state coal
mines, state PAPER mills, or state pea
nut stands?
II not, let US say 90, and let US tie
that fund up 50 tightly in first mort
gage and gilt-edged securities that the
;.tchy fingers Of our Socialist gang
STEERS won't be able TO get . nickel Of
it.-Fargo Forum.

"A very pretty party in the nature
OF surprise was given in honor Of
Miss Florence Hedstrum, at the;
Swedish Lutheran church last eve

weekly rehearsal and at the close Of

refreshments which were to be served
in the church parlors. Upon entering
the parlors Miss Hedstrum was met
by the members of the congregation,
who had previously assembled, and
in this way wished to show their ap-
preciations and high esteem in which
she is held by this congregation. Mr..
II. p. Holm in his usual happy man

the significance Of the gathering and
in behalf Of the choir presented the

congregation presented Miss He'd

which were greatly enjoyed by those

INDUSTRIAL HIGHWAYMEN

INDUSTRIAL HIGHWAY MEN
What happened in the sugar bust
ness bids fair to be repeated in the
coal trade this coming fall and winter.
Many sinister signs point to re-
petition Of outrageous exploiting OF
the public in one Of the necessities Of
life. .,=s ss
Z AS in the sugar market, the prof.
teering promises to be done by specu-
lators and not by the regular dealers.
In the sugar trade the legitimate
dealers were unable to get their sup
plies through the regular channels.
The retailer. was unable to supply the
needs of the customer; the wholesaler
couldn't take care of the retailers
needs; the refners claimed inability
to supply the wholesalers, but for
some mysterious reason the specula-
tors always seemed to have supplies
available if their price was paid. They
took advantage Of the shortage, and
also served to increase the shortage,
by buying up huge stocks of sugar
and holding it for high prices.
That same situation threatens the
coal trade this coming fall and winter.
Even such a big buyer as the corpora
ton which controls the Fargo public
utilities along with dozen other sim
liar plants, is forced to pay $9.2l$sfor
steam coal which cost. it $5.46' a ton
last year, and $11.64 for gas coal
which cost it $7.56 last year. It can
buy coal when the average small con-
sumer is utterly unable to get sup
plies, and yet even this corporation
reports that it is finding great diff
Guilty in getting supplies this year
No increase in costs justities such IN
crease in price, or onetenth OF 1t.
If the outrageous profteering that
was perpetrated by sugar SPECTATORS,
is repeated by coal spectators, con-
sumers can not be expected. to con-
tent themselves with expressing I'M
potent rage. The situation that is de-
yeloping in the coal trade may call for
vigorous action on the part Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
end the car shortage, but it isn't
enough to get US coal at the price
SPECTATORS choose to charge US. The
consumer is entitled to his supply OF
coal at a price that gives only a fair
profit to the men whose services are
needed in its distribution. The public
desn't object to a fair profit to the re-
taller, and fair profit to the whole
sale distributor at the docks, or even
to the mine owner but it does object,
strenuously and rightfully, to paying
tribute to the speculator whose ser
vices are not needed, who plays no
useful part in the trade, and who ex-
acts his profit as a highwayn1an does,
because he is able 70 do so.
2 The department of justice should be
no less active in the coal crisis than
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
