IDEAL WEATHER
CREETS FIREMEN

New Rockford, N. D., June IT,
Ideal weather has marked the conven-
ton of North Dakota Firemen conven-
ing at this place for a three day ses-
sion. Close around 800 delegates Jare
en- hand. The firemen are being en-
tertained by the city in a very hospi-
table way, the New Rockford band
being on hand all three days.
The convention was called to order
last Tuesday by Chief F. M. Eckman
of the New Rockford department, and
Rev. Wenrich of the M. E. church read
invocation. President George Streeter
of the City Commission delivered a
cordial address of welcomeI which
was responded to by Secretafy H. L.
Reade of Bismarck.
The entire city is in gay attire and
the people are doing their best to en-
terrain the boys in the most royal
fashion possible. Sports and amuse-
ments are on the program

VIC. METROPOLIS
FOR CELEBRATIONS

Amusements and entertainments
will soon begin to come thick and
fast. Up to this time this summer no
big celebrations have been held, but
they're coming along every day and
the first one is scheduled to open up
next Saturday, June 26, when the VAL
ley City Chautauqua opens. The
Chautauqua will last nine days, and
will close on the evening of Sunday
July 4. Then on the fifth Of July a
celebration will be held instead Of on
the Fourth as it would fall on the
Sabbath. This is going to be a great
time, as evidenced by plans already
laid out by the committee appointed.
Racing, jumping, climbing the greasy
pole, and other amusements will fea-
ture the days entertainment. Then
right on the heels Of this big time
comes the fifteenth annual fair, last
ing four days, from July 9Th to 9th
inclusive. This is; always a big an
nual affair here in Valley City, and
a still bigger and better time can be
looked for this time. The cataIogs
have been out now for some time,
which gives the rules and regulations
governing the entries. Arrange your
plans to be able to attend at least one
day Of eacA of these events, if not
more. You can be assured of a good
time. Valley City now has one of the
best, if not the best, teams around
this part Of the state, and good ball
games will add to the entertainments.

had to act in that capacity for the
First and Third districts as we'll as
for our own Second district. The USE
fulness of congressman depends on
three things: First, his own energy,
which Young has in abundance; sec
ond, his knowledge of the various de-
partments and acquaintance with the
men in charge of the work; third, and
most important the anxiety of the
bureau and department chief and as
sistant secretaries to be of service to
him. Mr.. Young's position on the
ways and means committee makes ev-
cry department official in Washington
more than ready to push his business
through with the utmost dispatch; be-
cause from that committee must come
the funds that keep the department
and bureaus running. While the ap-
preparations committee makes the al
lotments of funds it has to consult
with the ways and means committee at
every step. Remember it takes years
to learn the business of being good
congressman and that the Second Dis
trict of North Dakota has one of the
best. Keep him at work for us. Vote
for George M. Young.

There are a hermit souls that live
withdrawn
In the place of their self content;
There are souls like stars, that dwell
apart,
In a fellowless armament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze
their paths
Where highways never ran
But let me live by the side of the road
And be friend to man.
Let me live in house by the side of
the road,
Where the race of men go by
The men who are good and the men
who are bad,
AS good and as bad as I.
I would no sit in the scorner's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road
And be a friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of the
road,
BY the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor Of
hope,
The men who are faint with the
strife.
But 1 turn not away from their smiles
/ nor their teDrs,
Both parts of an infinite plan
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road
And be a friend to man.
l know there are brook-gladdened
meadows ahead
And mountains of -wearisome
height;
That the road passes on through the
long afternoon
And stretches away to the night.
But still I rejoice when the travellers
rejoice,
And weep with the strangers that
Nor live in my house by the side of
the road
Like a man who .dwells alone.
Let me live in my house by the side of
the road
It's here the race of men go by.
They are good, they are bad, they are
weak, they are strong.
Wise, foolish-so am l;
Then why should I sit in the scorner's
seat,

The very thing that we in North
Dakota most feared-that the league
would win out in Minnesota--has not
happened, on the contrary the people
of our neighboring state, by their
votes last Monday have said to the
world that Minnesota is law abiding,
loyal state, against the doctrines of
state socialism and free love. 1t is
great victory and the nomination of
Mr.. Preus in the face of great odds
is indeed most gratifying to all. With
six candidates arrayed against the
league single candidate and it's horde
of spellbinders working night and day
to carry the state and with millions
of dollars at the command Of the So
cialists, Preus has won victory
greater than did Burnquist two years
ago when it was a fight for loyalty
and disloyalty. Adding the vote of
the six independent candidates for
governor together we say the victory
is a fine one It will have most
pleasing and healthy effect on the
North Dakota election coming next
Wednesday at which time we are con-
fdent the people of this state will
vote to down state socialism, free love
and red fagism. Just what excuse
the league leaders and press will put
up for their defeat in Minnesota we
do not know, but certainly when it
came down to the money end of it the
Townley bunch had the other side
skinned a mile The only ray of CON-
fort Townley has out Of the whole
election is the defeat of Volstead in
the seventh congressional district by
Kvale, preacher. The defeat of
was due to the Volstead dry
the advocates of the vets
oreferring to vote for the Townley
candidate rather than for Volstead.
This victory will be short lived. We
predict that at the next primary that
district will be returned to the regular
republican fold We say Minnesota
las done we'll. Let US go them one
better next Wednesday,. eve are 60

, There is noticeable scarcity OF
Frazier banners on automobiles this
year in striking contrast to two years
ago. Calomel and sulphate of mag
nesium have not only cleared the VS.
ion of the driver of these cars but has
also cleared the vision of the wind
shields that heretofore have been af-
flicted with these red banners.
Townley's ten thousand dollar air
plane took another fall at Red Lake
Falls, MIMI, the other day and the
propeller and wings were broken. But
that fall was not half so damaging to
the socialist financier as the fall the
people of Minnesota gave him at the
polls Monday, June 21st. Election day
in the Gopher state, was the longest
day in the whole year, and the sun
shone all that time on the forces OF
good government, good citizenship
and Americanism and then at the close
of perfect day eclipsed the somber
clouds of socialism and state socialism.
No red lines in the Courier News
this morning, in fact the daily reader
of this paper had hard time finding
out what happened in Minnesota in
striking contrast to the usual red
headlines that grace the top of the
front page of that paper when victory
perches on their banner. In small
space on the front page with out any
striking black type lines is read the
report of the licking the league re-
ceived on Monday in that state. A
barrel of red ink can no doubt be pur-
chased cheap at headquarters of the
Fargo daily.
Some time ago the Courier-News at
Fargo was making fun of the travel
ing men and called them "prune ped
dlers." Today now that they know
these same travelling men are lined up
solidly against socialism this same
paper is trying to curry favor with
them by saying that LANCER tried to
get a bill passed licensing travelling
men and if such bill was passed none
but nonpartisan leaguers would be
granted licenses. This is the silliest
kind of twaddle and shows how des-
perate the forces of red socialism have
become in an endeavor to gain votes
through Misrepresentation. 1t Will
not work. The people of North Dako-
ia have their eyes open apd the bal
lots cast next Wednesday will con-
vince the bunch Of reds. of that. The
Courier-NeWs cannot Label the trav-
cling men as 'prune peddlers" one day
and then come back at this late day
and try to smooth it over. In other
words the travelling men are too wise
to be caught with chaff.

When you vote week from tomor-
row, vote for the anti-red flag bill and
vote no on the smelling committee bill,
the bill changing the election laws and
the bill providing for a state sheriff.
The latter bill is only one to provide
lot of useless Office holders drawing
big salaries. We have county sheriffs
to take care of all law breaking and
do not need any state sheriff. The
smelling committee is another rank
law. This gives bunch of pussyfoot-
ed politicians authority to come in
and examine your private books and
papers. Nice stuff, that. Vote no
three times and yes once one week
from Wednesday.
The legislative fight in the thirty
eighth district continues to run along
quietly and smoothly. Christian
that there is nothing to it-that so far
as he is concerned he expects to have
easy sailing for reelection. That be-
ing the case and N. P. Langemo be-
ing splendid man and good citizen,
it might be a nice thing if few of the
voters of that district would vote for
Mr.. Langemo by way of compliment.
If Mr.. Olson has such easy sailing he
will not mind the loss of few hun
dred votes to his neighbor. There is
no use hogging the whole works, C.
j. However, we migha suggest that
Mr.. Langemo is by the way the best
equipped man of the two to represent
that district and such things have
happened that these sure thing stunts
have turned out to be broken reeds.
Let US hope that IL is the case in the
thirty-eighth district and that a ma
jority will favor Mr.. Langemo. We
want somebody from that district who
knows enough to vote right without
the help of a red headed or black
headed clerk.
In 1916 Henry J. Linde, attorney
general, brought action in the dis

Exchange. Among the attorneys for
the defendants was William Lemke,

Sixteen month later, after Linde had
left the attorney generals office and
LANCER had been in the Office for near
ly year, and nearly everybody had
forgotten about the case, Lemke NOV
ed for Judgment taxation Of costs.
He wanted the state to pay $6,365.94
as attorneys fees and court costs. At
torney General LANCER refused to
stand idly by and resisted this on
slaught on the state treasury. When
Lemke saw he was in for publicity,
he cut the fee to $2,465.94. A motion.
was denied in the District Court and
an appeal to the Supreme Court and
although he entered a petition for re-
nearing to his own court, it was de-
ned. So the present manager of the
League Of North Dakota, candidate
or attorney general, was baked by
Attorney General LANCER in an at
empt to loot the treasury Of North
Dakota.
