At a pretty and impressive cere-
mony in American Legion hall Sum
day afternoon certificates of honor
awarded by the French government
were presented to the fathers OF
mothers of five boys. who lost thel.
lives in the great war.
The five presentations did not IN

SHOULD GET BUSY
ON STREETS NOW
Trenbath Says City is Passing
Up Opportunity to Do Work
at Small Cost

"If there ever was time wher
work should be done on the city
streets, that time is right now," says
E. w. Trenbath, who never gets toe
busy to think about better highways
"The dirt streets should be dragged
and the work should be done at once
while there is plenty of moisture in
the ground. The county is busy drag
ging and grading country roads but
the city is doing absolutely nothing.
The streets could be put into fairly
good condition at comparatively low
cost if the work were done now. Lat
er in the season much more work will
be required.
"The mayor claims that thesreason
the work has not been started is be-
cause it is impossible to get enough
|councilmen out to a meeting for quo
rum. Ben Bergen has resigned as
street commissioner and the mayor
can't get quorum of the council to
appoint asuccessor.
"Not only should the streets be
dragged, but a new bridge should be
built over the canal at Second street. y
continued Mr.. Trenbath. "Not only
is the present bridge unsightly, but it
is inadequate for the traffic that must
pass over it during the busy seasons
of the year. The county has offered
to share the cost of the bridge with
the city and Chas. Huber, who is build
ing the new bridge at Richland has
offered to do the work at very little
above actual cost. Another such op-
portunity may never present itself.
Now is the time to build"

economic and effective means of dis
tributing it. The Produce Company
which started only few years ago
in small way as farmers coopera-

tn. Last year its business climbed
nearly to the million dollar mark and
this year Mr.. Sly hopes to exceed that
mark. Not a little of this growth

T,heNon-P artisan League

Even to the most casual observer
of things political by this time it must
have become apparent that the nom
partisan league is a factor to be rec
oned with in the Forthcoming cam
paign. If not in the nation or state,
it will at least be 1, factor in the poll
tics of the county and perhaps of the
congressional district.
We shall not presume to say what
is the numerical strength of the nom
partisan league in this county. We do
not know. We do know had we at any
time during the last year picked at
random ten men and put to them the
question: whats doing in politics ?"
the answer of at least nine of the ten
would have been: "Nobody is taking
any interest in politics around here
but the nonpartisan league" We
know that for months the nonpartisan
leaguers have gone quietly and ear
testify about the business of organiz-
ing, and while they may not have
purposely avoided, they have at least
not openly courted publicity.
We know too, were we to ask the
question of those whs by. reason of
their vocation are not eligible to men,
bership in the league, "What is this
nonpartisan league movement" the
answer with variations would be:
"They are a bunch of bolsheviks and
the organization is closely akin to the
I. w. W." while the leaguer's answer
to criticism of his organization is:
"That's a capitalistic ie."
Now, the United States of America
has not grown great-and we guess
all of us must admit that it has been
more or less of success as nations
go-by feeding upon any such stuff.
The very essence of democracy is free
discussion, and free discussion makes
its appeal to reason, not passion and
prejudice. To meet an opponents
argument by clubbing him bolshevik
or answer his criticism by calling him
liar is to the Jump posthaste out Of
the realms Of reason into those Of pas

sion thereby upsetting the only possi-
bic basis for free discussion, and demo-
cracy fails. Democratic govern
ment is nothing more nor less than
cooperation and the government will
be strong or weak exactly as the
ability of its citizens to cooperate
is great or small. Refusal to give
honest ear to the arguments of an
opponent is not only evidence of our
lack of ability to cooperate but proof
of the weakness of our own argu-
ments.
The nonpartisan league may be an
evil or blessing. If an evil it will
never be uprooted until something
more substantial than the calling of
its members bolsheviks has been en-
ployed against it. If a blessing it
can only endure by meeting criticistl
with something more convincing than
the calling of its critics capitalistic
liars. The future of the league will
depend not so much upon what it is or
what it isn't as upon what the
majority of the voters think of it, for
the final hearing of any governmental
principle or policy must be at the bar
of public opinion, from which there
is no appeal.
The league is human creation. AS
human creations, like human nature.
are never more than some variation If
the formula, good and bad-there
must be some sound arguments both
for and against it. That the readers
OF the Courier-Reporter may have
these as basis upon which to build
an honest opinion we shall publish
each week in this column arguments
for and against the league. The ar
guments for will be taken verbatim
from the official publications Of the
league and the arguments against
from the writings and publications of
individuals and organizations which
have made a close study of the
leagues principles and observed It's
achievements in North Dakota and
elsewhere.
