Supporters of the present govern
ment administration still continue tc
harp on the fact that their admin
istration won the war. Well If they
did-atthough we are inclined to be-
lieve that the soldier boys of the ma
ton. dd--we want to know why the!
haven't won the peace.
Wouldn't it be interesting to know
lust how much the forty thousand
more or disagreement employees
in Washington get paid for the under
time they put in. We have never yet
heard of any of them putting in any
over time.
An occasional reference is made in
the dispatches as to the possibility OF
Senator LaFollette becoming a candl'
date for president. Can he qualify
legally? The constitution says that d
man must be native born citizen OF
the United States in order to qualify
for that office. And LaFollette was
born in Wisconsin, wasn't he?
Gov. Frazier recently took trip by
flying machine Of one hundred anc
fifteen miles to make speech some
where in the state. He enjoyed the ex.
perience very much he says and came
down gently and comfortably. The
fall he will get in June will not be Sc
soft as the recent one he took from the
clouds. He will get a severe jolt when
the primary votes are counted.
There are, according to Assistant
State Engineer, J. E. kaulfus, seventy
thousand miles of public roads in
North Dakota one-thlrtleth OF the
entire mileage of the roads in the
United States. This mileage is equa
to nearly three times the circumfer:
ence of the earth, comprising 100000
acres, or S75 square miles. The rights
of way constitute about one-ninetietl
of the. states entire area, equal tt
1890 average farms in North Dakota
At S25 per acre. the rights OF way are
worth $l4,o00,000. If sown to wheat
with reultant crop of Is bushels te
the acre, the crop would be worth Sl6,'
100000.
The Cooperstown Sentinel-Courle,
in commenting on our comments II
regard to the five socialists who were
expelled from the New York leglsla
ture for disloyalty, says that this
paper is the only one which the editor
of the S. C. has read which takes the
attitude we do on that question. Sure
thing, Nye, the only papers you reat
outside of the Times Record are the
Courier-News and the Nonpartisar
Leader. Read a few real American
newspapers once in a while and gel
some of the cookie burrs out OF YOU
Uranium The trouble with your rea
nonpartisan socialist is that he onl!
reads one side of the questlon-Jus
like yourself.
Indications are that the genera
railroad strike which started about
week ago in Chicago is slowly abatln9
and traffic, which has been PARTIAL!
paralyzed will no doubt soon be bacl
to normal. As soon as the railroad
labor board which was appointed b!
President Wilson is confirmed by tn
senate, they will no doubt start al
investigation and attempt an lmmedl
ate settlement. About the first thinl
which should be done is to ferret GU
the men who were to blame for tn
sudden walkout. and federal agent
are predicting the arrest and convlc
ton of radical leaders, who are n
doubt in the employ Of the |. w. W
communists or other radical organiza
t;ons and who have certainly been do
ing their work very effectively, ]udg
ing from results. T.
Attorney General Palmer is nov
satisfied that he has unearthed o
rather gotten next to a plot to star
up some more strikes and proposes t.
do something. Bro. Palmer has beel
telling the world that he was goinl
to do something along the line o
bringing down the high cost of livinl
quitting an end to strikes and variou
other things, but he never gets any o
these things done. If he knows wha
is going to happen why in the nam
of common sense doesn't he get bus!
and put stop to it instead Of tellin,
about it in the newspapers. The pub
lie has been holding its. ear to tn
ground waiting for the attorney gen
eral to do something for 10, ,thes
many months. Mr.. Palmer is abou
the biggest bunch of DO nothing tina
ever held his present job.
It is the labor Unions themselve
that are responsible for great dea
+ of this unrest and strikes that tn
country is afflicted with At Birm
ingham, Alabama, the plumbers hav'
requested the master plumbers to fur
nish chauffeurs to drive union plumb
ers to and from work, according +
the findings of committee of alice
civic clubs which investigated the re
