WATERS CHARGE
IS NAILED BY
F. E:PACKARD
i.
Shows Up Attempt to In
jure Attorney General
by Bank Head.

\ Bismarck, N. D.. Feb. 2o.-Charges
made by. J. r. Waters manager Of
the Bank OF North 'Dakota in a cir
cular to bankers and. others Of the
state, charging that the delay Of the
bank in making farm loans is due to
liam LANCER in examining abstracts
Of property turned over to him for
examination are denied in a state
ment issued by Assistant Attorney
General F. E. Packard.
THE circular contends that the
attorney generals office held up alb
stracts aggregating the total sum OF
$~356,000," said Mr.. Packard. This
statement, II true, which it is not,
that the. attorney general is respon-
sible forsr.the failure of the bank to
make farm loans The. last bank
bulletin, No. i, series Of 1920, over
the signature of F. w. Cathro, states
that the bank has received 1895 APT
plications for farm loans, a~ggregating
$~8.236.474, Of which amount $2,327.-
$50 had been passed upon. by the fin
ancial committee and are already to
be made. Yet tile balance statement
shows that only loans aggregatins
$~S92,19s.04 have been made. This
leaves $1,535,350.96,- in approved
loans which have not yet been made.
According to Waters own circular,
the attorney general is only response
bic. for $356,00 of this amount, leav-
ing $1,1S9, 3so.ser in loans. the an
stracts for which have been approved
by the attorney general and yet they
have not been made.
Not Consistent
Il am positively ashamed Of Jim
Waters and. Fred Cathro as liars.
They are novices and cannot even
hang together a creditable story. In
bulletin No. s of the series Of 1919,
Mr.. Cathro explains that he had not
made more loans ON farm lands be-
cause his appraisers could not work
during the winter time and in incle-
ment weather. and Also that his audit

The Jewish problem in Poland
will not be Of the least concern
to them. Nor would it do the
Jews any good if they did apply
themselves to it. Their solution
of it will not be a Jewish solu-
ton. Between their Polish and

and Russia are indeed between

POLES, AND THE JEWS.

Never did nation in its blind,
stupid, arrogant chauvinism court
and bring down upon itself
greater disaster than did the
Poles when they entered upon a
war against Soviet Russia. A
nation called into being by the
grace of the powers that de-
stroyed it's oppressive conquerors
and despoilers, hardly able to
stand on it's feet, impoverished,
exhausted in every element Of
national energy, trying to meas
ure it's puny strength with that

wonder that its armies have been
driven back like dry stubble be-

wonder that it lies PROSTATE at

THE EXCITABILITY OF
YOUTH.

Like everything else in life,
editorship has its tragic and its
comic experiences. One Of its
most comic experiences IS the
a1acrity with which rash young
man, reading an editorial that
disp1eases him or excites his ire,
will sit down at the typewriter
and strike off a letter to the
editor or publisher, expressing his
indignation in unmeasured, and
sometimes ungrammatical terms,
or voicing a most vigorous pro-
test, and demanding that the edi-
tor do nothing less than retract
his sinful utterances. The in
dignant and wrathy young man,
of course, is positive beyond a
shadow of doubt, that his own
ideas on the subject discussed are
sound, that he is the only ex-
ponent of the truth, the only
guardian Of the best interests of
the cause, or the movement, or
the community, or his fellow-men
in general, and that the writer OF
the offensive editorial is the very
opposite of all that. Was it not
the young hotspur E.lihu, Of Bible
fame, who striking1y expressed
the real feelings of this type of
youth when he said: II also will
answer my part, also will de-
clare mine opinion. For I am full
of words; the spirit within me
constraineth me. Behold mine in
wards are as wine which hath
no vent; like new wineskins
which are ready to burst. | will
speak that I may find relief; |
will open my lips and answer.
In Our last issue letter was
published by DR.. Kurtz in which
he described certain alarming
conditions in a certain Jewish
neighborhood, and called upon
that neighborhood and the COM
munity at large to take action in
regard to them. We naturally
commented on the letter; we did
not endorse it. Only a rash and
excitable young man would use
that term in reference to editorial
comment. Of course, we took it
for granted that DR.. Kurtz's let
ter dealt with actual facts and
conditions. And what we have

and lustfu1 Jewish forces Of the
world, this ought to be Polish
Jewry's chance to win for itself
the rights and liberties that Po-
land has so far denied it. At the
Versailles peace table, when Pc
land was anxious to receive
the gift of independent sover-
eign nationhood from the hands
of the allied powers she was
forced to yield minority rights to
her Jewish population, rights to
which the Jews had as strong
claim, and which were as neces-
sary to their national self-preser-
walton as Poland had to independ-
ent sovereignty and reunion
Of her severed parts and as they
were necessary to her national
existence. But no sooner did
Poland receive her new charter OF
liberty than she began to ter
rorize her Jews with ruthless
ness that Knocked the best efforts
of the Czarist regime. The Jews
were given the choice Of becom-
ing Poles or corpses. The hend-
ish butcheries and prosecutions
abated only when a cry OF horror
went up from the entire civilized
world. But the hostility Of the
Poles toward the Jews has by no
means abated. The army, the
church, the press, and political Of
fcialdom are saturated with the
poison of Jew-hatred. The virus
is easily transfused into the veins
of the ignorant masses who may
at any time turn against their
Jewish victims with all the fury
and ferocity of wild beasts. OF
late the statement has been re-
peated1y made by careful and re-
liable investigators of conditions
in Poland that it has become abb
solutely impossible for Jews to
remain there.
Here then is the chance for the
Jewish Bo1shevic government OF
Russia to do something for their
Polish brethren in faith. In their
peace treaty with Poland they
can stipulate that Polish persecu-
ton of Jews must cease. that the
Jews minority rights provided
for in the Versailles treaty must
be respected. Will they do it?
There is only one answer for
those who know the temper of the
Bolsheviki, and their attitude to-
ward Jews and Judaism. They
have as much regard for them as
such as have the Poles, altho

DO BUSINESS OVER COFFEE
In Asiatic Cities the Merchants Gath
er In Shops to Discuss Affairs
of Trade.

Streets in the baZar districts OF
Asiatic cities are only eight to ten
feet wide. The larger shops are eight
by ten and the smaller ones five by
six feet. In each bazar is khan for
every ten or twelve shops. These khans
are two stories high, with an OPEN
court in the center and rooms on the
four sides all opening into the court.
A doors leads from the open court into
the street. Rooms are let to different
storekeepers for storage purposes
Each bazar has coffee shop, which
Is large, open place covered partly
by a roof, where are a number OF
wooden settees ranged In rows. Any
visitor who sits is first given a cup OF,
Turkish coffee and then a narghiIe or
native pipe filled with Shirza tobacco.
The charge for coffee and the use of
the pipe Is about cents. Here the
merchants gather TO discuss trade
bills, and bank representatives to
check the number OF bills TO be taken
up and secure data for exchange rates
for bills and foreign coin. Rates are
practically determined in the coffee
shops.

greater part of the milk consumed in

In those days, not SO very far away,
either, the grocer scooped our oatmeal,
our candy and our soda crackers out

thought none the worse of our lot be-
cause of that.
Today even peanuts are served to
us in transparent paraffined envelopes,
candies come In ribboned cartons as
