UhGENT CALL FOR NURSES

An urgent call for nurses for duty
in the U. s. Public Health Hospitals
has Just been issued by the Depart
ment of Nursing. National Headquar-
tiers, American Red Cross.
Because of the great increase In
the number of ex-service men In the
Public Health Hospitals, the demand
for nurses has become pressing. Over
400 trained women are needed with
in the next three months in hospitals
In the various parts of the country
and over 400 will be needed before
the peak of the demand is reached.
Unrecognized disability has sent
a great many more soldiers, sailors.
and marines into the U. s. Public
Health HospitalI after discharge,
than was originally estimated and
the number of nurse necessary, Their
fore, has been greatly augmented.
IF the ,numebr of nurses who are
scattered throughout the country
understood that the boys in the Pub
lie Health hospitals need them Just
as much now as they needed nurses
behind uhe lines on the western front
two years ago. / am sure that we
would have, yery little difficulty in
re7iplistiBg their aid u said Miss

The HIGH COST OF A GREAT MAN

| There will be two constitutional
next general election in November,
and even now 1t Is not too soon to
caH the peoples attention to them:
An act providing an income in the
salaries of the governor, the supreme
court and the district court judges
and providing an amendment to the
present law that in 1924 the county
judges term shall be for four years.
These proposals should be frowned
down upon and jumped with both
feet by all the voters. There is not
l single reason for increase in wages
that will apply to each and every
wage Garner throughout the nation,
and besides, of all our hired help. our
upper servants are the ones whose
wages we can least afford to increase
Why raise the governors pay? In
thirteen states the governors receive
less than ours1 and in seventeen
states they are paid the same-fve
thousand dollars year. Nebraska
with nearly double Colorado's popu-
ltion, pays less than half as much
twenty-five hundred per annum. In
stead of paying a governor $1,000 a
year, there is no doubt that If the
office were put up for sale to the
highest bidder, there are plenty OF
ambitious men and women who would
pay $4,000 just for the name OF be-
ing governor It lis esteemed
place of honor and where one can
have a highfalutin time, attract at
tention and be bowed down to by the
mob. Is it not worth heap to know
when his Excellency walks down the
street or rides down 1t to see and
know that everyone is saying: There
goes the governor-that distinguished
looking gent wearing a plug hatl"
But the browning glory is when he
heads the procession following, a
brass band on the way to the railway
station to meet and greet presidents,
other governors, or the lords and
dukes from. foreign landsl Who is II

NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE ACTIVE

Inc NOn-Partisan League Is en-
tering politics on a national scale
and is putting forward a platform
which is skillfully drawn to appeal
to the average voter from the stand
point of fine sounding phrases and
easy reading. The platform is a
work of art from a political stand
point. It condemns our general in
d,ustrial system and :avors govern
ment ownership of railroads and al
other big business. 1t appeals
to the radical element by demand
ing Immediate restoration OF free
speech, free press, placable assemb-
ly and all civil rights'-which we
already have.
It then demands economy in gov
eminent expenditures which natur
ally everybody favors but which
seem impossible of accomplishment
under government ownership and
operation of industry which the lea
que seeks to establish. Greatly in
creased taxes in North Dakota I'M
der league distation clearly prove
that its program does not tighten
the tax burden.
Taken as a whole, however, the
league platform contains enough
harmless phrases and sound state
ments to camoufage the socialistic
scheme of government which In its
ultimate. aim. Herein lies the
gretest strength of the organization
1t stands chance of dividing votes
and tus putting its program into eff
feet.
Minimizing and ridiculing the
strength of the league and the. far
reaching appeal of its platform is a
mistaken policy and may lead to re-
grets as the man had who failed 20
lock. his door until the horse was
stolen.
