CANNOT SING THE OLD SONGS

Senator Harding is laboriIg under
one rather serious handicap. He can
not sing the old songs he sang long,
long ago. He used to know a beauti-
ful anthem about the Tariff, and how
il kept prices from dropping to a
ruinious level, and kept the nations
of Europe from flooding the country
with cheap goods. 1t used to get an
encore every time it was chanted.
Now. nobody cares to hear it. The
notion of popping up prices by pro-
tective tax duties would bring tears
to the eyes of any audience in Amer
ica. Then, he used to have touch
ing little ballard about how the G. O..
p. stood behind the laboring man and
kept his wages from falling. Prop
erly rendered, it was always good for
a shower of votes. Now, however,
the A. F. L. is performing that duty
and singing its own song in its own
way. And so it goes. The new con-
ditions brought about by the war have
put a whole repertory of new songs
in the mouth of the elephant, some
of which are exceedingly difficult TO
render and the old. ante bellum prima
donna, like some other operate stars,
is forced to go to the movies to get
hearing Telegram.

from the 10th legislative district and
one Of the" two men whom Attorney
General LANCER was credited with re-
claiming from T0wnleyism during his
recent speaking tour in the southwest
ern part Of the state, writes Governor
Frazier that anyone who says he
(Bratsberg> apologized to Mr.. LANCER
is a prcvaricatOr.
Mr.. Bratsberg states that he read
a story to this effect in one Of the
Minneapolis papers. So'far as known
none of the North Dakota papers
which published the yarn accused
Bratsberg Of apolosising to Langcr.
They did say that Bratsbers admitted
following Langer's address that his
(Bratsberg's) course in blndly follow
ing secret caucus instructions during
the last two sessions of the legisla ature
was wrong that he regretted it.
The league legislator from the 49th

SCHOOL BONDS

+. J. Taylor. former state super

periutendent of schools at Hankinson,
met with the state board Of univer-
sity and school lands today. seeking
market for $4,000 worth Of bonds
which the city Of Hankinson recently
voted for the erection of a modern
high school building.
Hankinson is one of the few towns
which is part of an old-timc school
district. created by special act of legis-
laturc under the. territorial statutes
of Dakota. The HankinSOn school dis
trict, consisting of half Il township.
or eighteen sections, ws so cOnsti-
tutcd in 1880. and the fact that the
district continues to operate under the
territorial laws in this respect makes
it necessary for the state board Of
university and school lands to be full
ly convinced that all Of the ancient
formalties have been complied with
before it can invest the states school
funds in the bonds offered. Hankin-
son hopes to start work on it's new
building early in the spring.

GERMAN-ALLIANCE MAN,

has been brought in the United States

In his petition Attorney Fiskc
charges that Heynacher by his utter

viction. showed that he had not de-
nounccd allegicncc to the German en-
peror and therefore obtained his nat
uralization papers by fraud.
Heynacher is now at Lcavenworth

T0WNLEY SAID

Grand Forks Receives Reports
That Autocrat Orders Tot
ten to Lay Down

Grand Forks, Feb. 2G-Inuicat ions
that Big Chief A. e.. Townlcy realized
that cX-Rcv. George Tottcn has spilled
the beans badly in his efforts to oust
President Thomas T.. Kane from the
presidency Of the state university, and
gave orders that Il desperate cf
fort must be made to patch the mat
ter up are plentiful today.
Mr.. Tottcn's departure for Fargo,
leaving Mr.. Hayun and Mr.. Muir in
charge of the situation was regarded
as significant.
TOWNLEY TAKES HAND
1t was reported on good authority
last night that local man had re-.
turned from st. Paul after Il confer
cnce with Mr.. Townlcy. The big chief
was pretty thoroughly disgucstcd with
the bonehead manner in which the at
tempt to oust President Kane had been
made, and is said to have declared
that thanks to the 1ilatory tactics
pursued the board had "spil!cd the
beans" and that to persist in the ef-
fort to get rid Of the president at
this time would cost the Nonpartisan
League forces from 10000 to 15,OOO
votes in the coming election. Hence
the desire to patch the matter up
somehow which resulted in complete
back-tlown on the part Of the Townley
forces.
This was plainly evident Monday
afternoon, when at conference with
representatives Of the student body,
Mr.. Hagan and Mr. Muir practically
ignored Totten'S fulminatiOns and
manifested a disposition to retreat in
as good order as possible from their
untenable position "s''s.; -'-ee '-, a>v !,
The fact that Governor Frazier
passed through Grand Forks this
week on his way west, and is under
stood to have held brief conference
with the board members is also Of
interest.

ROGERS APPROVES
COOPERATION WITH
NATIONAL GUARD

D., Governor Lynn j.. Frazier, oil North
Dakota, in a speech at Grand Forks
recently said: while ! have no OBJ
jections to anybody enlisting in the
regular army if he desires *
l would rather have them in the ma
tional guard at home" r.
"The above endorsement Of Cover
nor Frazier is along the lines OF CO.
operation with the national guard now
being followed by the regular army
said Col. T. J. Rogers of the Dakotas
recruiting service today.
There is no conflict of recruiting
interests between the regular army
and national guard. The army draws
men who have no home or business
responsibilities and who are able to
give themselves entirely to the serv-
ice of their country. The national
guard should appeal to those men
whose responsibilities will not per-
nit them to sever home ties entirely
but who can spare sufficient time to
join a local military organization,
while the American legion and SINH
lar societies should combine all men
who desire to be definitely allied with
one hundred percent American or
ganization. The vitality and power
of the national defense increases in
direct proportion to the healthy de-
velOpment of each of its elements.
The decay or decline Of one OF these
elements means an essential weaken
ing of the other and so long as the
regular army and the national guard
are legally recognized as elements a
policy Of mutual cooperation and un-
derstanding seems Indispensable.
