IT'S 4 GREAT LIFE-IF YOU
DON'T WEAKEN

Everybody thinks he can run a
! newspaper better than the benighted
souls who have been placed by Divine
Providence in that unenviable posi-
ton.
Maybe it's because the editors
faults are glazing ones-out in the
open in black and white-or, very
possibly it is just queer quirk Of hu-
man nature, and the job is so easy,
ANYHOW.
Running the local paper is a sort of
side line with some people-and lots
Of them. They offer advice in their
spare moments with the same spirit
they play MULE grand or double
pinochle. One would have the editor
militant suffragist, one would have
him rail against women having the
vote or any other thing but the sup
erintendence Of the kitchen sink. The
Nonpartisans can't see how a decent
person can be other than a nonpar-
tisan and that he must have sold out
to Big Biz" while the l. V. AS insist
that he is inundated bv the Townley-
Rrinton combination if he says word
in favor of the Frazier government of
GU" glorious state.
IF the editor is for anything the
ants condemn him, and vice versa. If
he takes a stand he is trying to die
tate to the community, and if he
doesn't take a stand he is mollv-
coddle and has the spine of a jelly
fish. He is a crank, four fusher. a
reformer. fanatic, a crook, a dis
turber Of the peace or just plain
idiot, according as he meets the de
sires of his subscribers or goes against
them. And there you are.
The average man never thinks of
the hours Of toll, downright, soul
sweating toll. it takes to get out a
newspaper. He never thinks of the
worries. the trials, the tribulations
every editor must undergo. Some of
them are unappreciative Of the edi-
tors efforts to boost the town and
make monev for them that they won't
even contribute the price of sub
scription.
Just remember this. The editor,
apart from the perfectly laudable de-
sire to make a decent living for him
self and family, has only the good OF
the community at heart. If he dis
agrees with you on any subject, po-
litical. moral or educational, you and
not he MAY be wrong.-New Rock

STUDENTSATTEND
BIG CONVENTION

The delegates who attended the Stu
dent Volunteer convention at Des
Moines during vacation have returned,
filled with enthusiasm concerning the
work and anxious to make the work
| of that organization more generally
! known.
The Student Volunteer Movement
has for it's purpose the securing Of
men and women from our colleges and
universities to do missionary work in
foreign fields. It was organized in
1886 by group of students at Mt.
Hermon, with DR.. John R. Mott as
chairman, and he has presided at each
convention since that time. Interna-
tional conventions are held every four
years but because of the war six
years have elapsed since the last meet
ing.
At this, the eighth international
convention, the motto. Decentralization
! of the World in This Generation"
was adopted and facts were given
showing that the foreign countries are
in an especially plastic condition just
now. They are ready to receive
C christianity and much can be accom-
plished if workers can be found to
teach them. Forty foreign nations
were represented by delegates and
speakers from some Of them told of
conditions in their native lands and
asked that help might be given them.
Seven thousand seven hundred dele
gates representing 1000 schools and
100000 students in the United
States and Canada were there.
Some of the most widely known
speakers were DR.. Robert E. Speer,
DR.. Sherwood Eddy, Dr. Truett. Bish-
op Mcdowell, Bishop Mcconnell and
Dean Brown of Yale. DR.. Charles
Watson, president Of Cairo Univer-
sity, DR.. Samuel NJ Zwemer, the edi-
tor Of the "Moslem World" and DR..
Howard Bliss, president of the Beirut
College in Syria, brought messages
of great Importance from the foreign
countries. Besides those mentioned
there were speakers from each of the
leading countries of Europe and Asia.
ceived from all parts of the world,
conveying the good wishes of those
interested in the work. Among them
was one from Ralph Conner.
The students there pledged them
selves to give $43,977 of the $84, 600
needed to carry on the work for the
next year.
North Dakota was represented by
the following thirty-three delegates:
Clarence Bateman. John Wishek. Jr.,
William F. Keve, Naomi Cadv. Pearl
Young, Ellie Freeman, Rita Murphy,
Wilhemina Scott and Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry E. Terrill from the University;
R.. Dell Stewart VIM. P. McKinstry,
Percy Judd, Richard E. Dittmann,

Dakota want more than anything else
is to get together to select list of

The United States is having more
trouble with the peace treaty and with
Mexico than all other things com.
bned. If Americans persist in going
into Mexico to control the oil wells
and like enterprises they are taking
their own chances and we can see no
reason why these people should all the
time be keeping this country in tur-
moil with Mexico. We are told that
Great Britain owns 26 per cent of the
oil wells in Mexico right at this time
but we do not seem to hear of any
trouble between Britain and Mexico.
They seem to be working very well to-
gether. That is one reason why we
should go slow on the ratification OF
the British dictated peace treaty-at
least without proper reservations. The
republican party is right on the stand
it is taking in insisting on reserva-
tons, President Wilson to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The demo-
Gratis assembling for their big ban
quet alluded to the republican leaders
as arrogant and disloyal. That is prac-
tically what Wilson said two years
ago when he asked the country to elect
none but democrats to congress-vet
there were not less than two million
republicans wearing the uniform of
the United States during the war and
we haye heard Of none of these repub-
Leans in the trenches that acquitted
themselves less valiant than did their
democratic colleagues in arms. Are
the republicans any more disloyal than
their own peerless leader, Bryan. when
he quit the cabinet with cold feet at
the time when the president of the
United States needed his help more
than at any other time in the history
Of this country? This same man is
the dominant figure in democratic cir
cles this minute The dems should put
on the soft pedal when it accuses the
republicans who are trying to get an
American peace treaty instead of one
of British design when they accuse
the republicans of being arrogant and
disloyal. The president himself is
practically standing alone on his peace
treaty-a big majority Of his own
democratic senators are against him
and want reservations, yet these same
senators get up in a big pow-wow
with their natures mellowed under the
influences of the presence and inspira-
ton Of big fellows with presidential
aspirations and apollinaris water-the
country is dry which is tough on a
democratic gathering-and tell the
country the republicans are disloyal
and arrogant.

CARELESS of the ambitions of others.
Our advice is for this new party to go
away back and sit down and for those
who have ambitions that led to this
new party being born, to line up
alongside of the strongest unit in op-
position to the socialist leaders for
the good of the whole people. This
continuously bringing up some new
party. and confusing the voters is
wrong and decidedly ridiculous to say
the least. Let us have unity and let
us nominate a strong ticket at Grand
Forks next month, built along lines
of one hundred per cent Americanism,
and then get behind that ticket and
push it over in the primaries to vic
tory. There is no room for personal
ambition of has-beens in the coming
fight.

TIE New York legislature few
days ago refused five socialists their
seats in that body for no other reason
than that they were socialists. They
had not been convicted of any crime
or treason against the government nor
had they done anything disloyal so
far as is known. The action of that
legislature is un-American. These
men were regularly elected and had
as much right to their seats as re-
publicans and democrats or labor can
lidates or any person representing
any party SO long as he was loyal
citizen-and there is nothing to show
that these men were disloyal. The ac-
ton of that legislature has drawn the

by direct tax and all the benefits the
consumer gets out of it is to pay from

don't even get cent instead of one

fact of the matter is, the administra-

condemnation of the best men in the
country from all political parties and
from senators, congressman and other
men in high Office in this country. 1t
is taking very high handed way OF
shutting off free political thought and
the sooner that legislature reconsid-
ers that action and seats these men
the better it will be. 1t is time enough
to fire them out of that body when
they do something or say something
that is reasonable and disloyal. IN
the meantime they have right to be
socialists if they want to be and if a
majority in these districts went them
then it is up to them. There is an en-
tirely different status in this case than
with Berger the Milwaukee socialist.
He has been convicted Of disloyalty
and deserves not only to be fired from
congress which congress has already
done, but he should be deported to
some country where his views can be
heard with favor. This country has
no use for men Of the Berger stripe.

BUY ". = S.
The Los Angeles Times, of Cali
fornia, makes it point to suggest
that if the people of North Dakota
could burn snowballs North Dakota
would not be bad place in which to
live. And by the same token if it were
not for the rich farmers Of North Da-
kota going to Los Angeles and other
sections of California to spend their
money earned off the productive fields
of this same North Dakota, there
would be no need for the Los Angeles
Times-because California without its
tourists from North Dakota and other
northwestern states would not be a
very fourishing place in which to live
and the pickings would be very slim.
AS concrete evidence of this fact we
are told that over forty thousand
transients from the northwest states
are registered in Long Beach alone.
Millions of dollars are spent in Cali
fornia every winter from money earn
ed in the states where they have snow
balls-and it is the rich farmer Of
these states that are making it posi-
BILE for these big California newspa-
pers to thrive. If it were not for the
hard wheat that is raised on the prai-
ries of North Dakota and Minnesota
and mixed with the soft wheat raised
in that state, California would not
have bread fit to eat. Climate is a
mighty nice thing to have in the Win
ter time of course, and those who can
afford to go to California for a few
months during the cold weather are
entitled to spend their money that
way. California has warm climate
and few orange groves and that is
about all. But then most people have
to have something more substantial
than climate and oranges and North
Dakota farmers can raise most eV-
erything they want outside OF coffee,
tea, sugar and few things like that,
and in addition most of our farmers
have enough money in the bank to
enable them to go to California to
buy all the oranges and climate they
want. We rather like these snoWballs.

One important measure CnaL is now
coming up in the United States senate
for final vote in the near future is
the Dillingham; immigration bill. We
have not seen a copy of this bill but
we have been informed that it repeats
other immigration bills and throws
down the bars to all corners who want
to flock into the country. If this is
true the bill should be killed right now.
What we want to do at this time in
stead of making it easier for all the
radicals and undesirables of the earth
to flock to this country is to build
higher and stronger wall to keep them
out That is what is causing all this
trouble in this country today. All the
radicals from Russia and other coun-
tries on the face Of the earth, come
here and enjoy the benefit of freedom
and prosperity while they sow the
seeds of sedition, anarchy and dis
cord in the minds of the weak and
ignorant and keep labor and capital
fighting at each others throat all the
time. We need stricter immigration
laws instead of easier ones. The
tendency from the radical element is
to not only break down the laws of
this country so that radicals can get
control of the government to further
their soviet ends, but the tendency is
to break down the safeguards sur
rounding the ballot laws, as is evil
denced only too concretely in North
Dakota. That is the end these radi-
Gals are aiming for and if the people
of this state and the whole country
at large do not wake up that is what
is going to happen to us. 1t is time
for men of judgment and sense to stop
this hysteria of radicalism that is
sweeping DER the land.
