wINsLow's SOOTHING SYRUP

It was on the motion Of Congress-
man Samuel E, Winslow of Massa-
chusetts that the House suspended
the rules and passed the bill amend
ing the trading and enemy act SO
as to permit the return to the own
ers of certain property held by the
Alien Property custodian. Mr.. Win
slows action prevented further hard
ship being inflicted on citizens of
such countries as Alsace and Lor-
raine, Czechoslovakia, Jugo- Slavia
and others, formerly parts of enemy
states, but now either independent
or joined with territory of the allies.
The law provides that the Alien
Property custodian shall restore TO
those people property taken from
them when the United States enter
ed the war, at which time they were
enemy aliens.

The Cavalier Chronicle last week
makes the statement that solicitors
for the Townley campaign fund col
lected over. one thousand dollars in
Pembina township recently. TAX
ing this as a basis Of calculation the
Townley campaign fund this year
will be over two million dollars II
the other townships In the state
are as generous as Pembina town

Nonpartisan political bosses an

Of the state? The Chronicle must

turns at the recent primaries. A
falling off in the vote from about
eighty thousand, four years ago, to
less than six thousand June 10th

case in the vote for Governor Fraz-

years and bond issue of seven

people of the state in the face if
the Townley faction win out is there
any wonder that the farmers and

is no other way out Of it.

THE SMELL PULP WOOD
CCMIssION.

Although the newsprint industry
has been made to suffer so severely
from the shortage Of raw materials.
it consumed in 1919 only 3 percent
of the total of 91,OO0,0O0,00e feet
of timber cut in the United States
according to figures compiled by
Congressman Bertrand H. Smell of
New York. Mr.. Smell has gone
deeply into the study of the avail
able forest resources of the United
States and Canada, and is convin-
ced that the only practical means Of
providing sufficient supplies Of news
print in this country to insure the
lives of the smaller papers is to ar
range with the Canadian provinces
for the expectation of wood pulp.
With that end in view Representa-
tive Smell secured the passage
through the House of a resolution
authorizing the appointment of a
commission to confer with the Can
adian government and the provincial
governments for the purpose of fac
iliatating such export.

If the charges made by Mr.. Wat
ers about the mismanagement Of the
funds in the State Bank of North
Dakota were not true it would be
an easy matter for the Townley
bosses to bring him into court and
make it interesting for him, for the
charges are serious enough to send
him to the penitentiary If they were
not true. For that reason the
Pioneer Express believe Mr.. Wat
ers knows what he is talking about.
Under the circumstances it is the
easiest for those concerned. to call
him a liar through the Townley

GOOD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW

The action of the board Of county
commissioners Of Logan county in
reinstating the Napoleon Homestead
as an official county newspaper, and
directing the county auditor to pub
lish in that paper the commission
erss' proceedings and all other offic-
ial notices, is based upon sound law
and sound morals, says the LaMoure
Chronicle. AS q matter Of simple
justice to the public and to the news
papers, similar action ought to be
taken in LaMoure county and in
every county in the state. 8.
Il is an accepted adage that some
laws are 80 i'll advised and so vic
ious withal that they are "rnore
honored in their breach than in their

category. Beyond any question Il

its own weight of corruption.
The Independent newspapers of
North Dakota have suffered terrib-

piece of political humbuggery.
Many of them are hanging on des-

LOSING THEIR GRAFT.

Ever since the decision was made
that school reports could be
published in any newspaper Of legal
could be published in any newsparh
standing we notice that our exchan-
ges are receiving their share of the
patronage from the school boards.
It will not be long before that ne
farious law, passed by the Town
ley political machine as graft
measure, will be repealed so that
any legal can be published wherever
the one who has to pay for it may
designate.
It was amusing to see how the
Fown1ey followers flocked around
and bought stock in Townley news
papers as soon as this graft law was
passed. We do not want to be un-
dertood as saying that all those
who invested in Townley newspap-
er stock are grafters. Far from
it. There were many who were
induced to buy stock who did so
through solicitation and misrepre-
sentation Of the hired agents Of
the bosses. S f5 q
But when upward Of twenty to
thirty senator's and representatives
focked together to buy newspapers,
one in each county, as soon as they
