ment, and six legislatures in demo-
cratic states. The president is urg-
ing Tennessee to ratify, and Mr..
Harding told a suffrage committee
that he hoped the state would make
thte amendment effective so women
can vote for president. .s..-
Other influences besides political
appear to have defeated suffrage
ratification in several other states.
The demand for wet plank in the
democratic platform, and talk of
naming a wet candidate, do not har-
monte with the public statement of
the president that the legislature of
Tennessee should ratify the amend
ment.
The republicans have consistent
record, on the suffrage question, of
favoring and aiding the cause from
the Observation-Disclosures Alert.

the Legion contributed $3.50 for adop-
tion Of the first two orphans, and the
American Red Cross will be asked to
select for them boy and a girl waif
as mascots for the next year or more.
Miss Lula B. Vie, a member Of the
headquarters staff, assisted in raising
the money for the orphans.
The, first post to send in its SIS
contribution to the fund was Karl
Ross post No. 10, Stockton, Cal. In
letter of transmittal, Ted Cloudsley,
member of the post and editor of
the San Joaquin Legion, official Ameri-
can Legion newspaper Of San Joaquin
county, CAL, writes in part:
1--WE were told that there was a
wide range of choice for US, so hope
you can secure as our war orphan a
little Alsace-Lorraine girl Of from six
to ten years whose father was killed
In battle. You see, we have big
post here and big twice-a-month
newspaper and such little orphan
would suit the boys best because Of
the sentiment attached.
"Please be sure that we receive the
little ones picture and address. We
will put her picture in our publication
and would like to have her write to
US. At Christmas time, too, we will
be able to remember her."

CUTTING CORNERS

Every day we pass green lawns
shrubs in bloom, flowers following
each other through the season. Some
one is at work keeping the lawns
moved and watered. He adds to our
riches.
These home owners could put up
picket fences around their yards il
they wanted, every fence different
some painted this year, some last. We
shouldn't enjoy that. 1t would take
something fine and refreshing cut OF
our lives.
But some people don't care. They
didn't plant the grass or take time
making it beautiful. So they cut the
corners, make a track across the lot
if someone doesn't stop them, until
the grass is worn and "patchy." II
isn't their lot, but then there are nc
fences.
A good many of these people are
simply untQinking. They wouldn't
steal a neighbours garden hose with
which he makes his yard beautiful
They simply steal the result he gets
by the expenditure of money and
time and work.
The odd thing is that a good many
of these people would feel insulted
and go the whole range of their
vocabulary if somone suggested to
thin that they are poor citizens -
that the city goes ahead in spite of
them, but never because of them.
But aren't they poor citizens.

Congressman George M. Young, of
the second district, won out yesterday
by very comfortable majority, about
one thousand. Taking into considera-
ton the fact that his district is the
strongest league territory in the state,
his victory is fine one and we want
to congratulate him on his success and
the district in nominating the best
man. Mr.. Young is more valuable to
the state with his experience and COM
mittee appointments than any new
man could be for years to come. In
the first district, where Cartoonist
Congressman Baer has been holding
down the seat, returns indicate that
Mr.. Burtness has won out.

have turned him down. The Irish
question in the platform is also as
weak as it the one in the rpublican

If we have to laugh very much
more over the predictions of the Fargo
Courier-News, we are liable to be a
sufferer from heart failure. This
mornings issue of the socialist sheet
claimed the election of Frazier by
10000 and the nomination of the en-
tire league ticket. Barnes county,
which gave Frazier majority of 521
two years ago will give LANCER a good
majority from yesterdays election. If
every other county in the state does
as we'll by the league as does old
Barnes county it won't take long for
that twenty thousand majority to be
wiped out. They must have humor-
list who is both deaf and blind on the
Courier-News editing the election
news. Better give him a dose of cal
omel-which is highly recommended
to clear the vision.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1920-07-08

No matter what the outcome Of the
election in the state is today the fact
remains that if Mr.. LANCER wins out
his success has been very largely help
ed by the democrats of the state who
sacrificed their political preference by
voting for the republican tickets so
that bolshevism, socialism, free love
and like ills might be wiped out in
this state. 1t was showing a fine
spirit and we want to commend them
for it. When it comes down to a
question of sustaining the American
flag, the American home and all those
things which stand for the better
things of life, there seems to be no
difference in parties but desire to
unite under the one banner of Ameri-
canism.
