 J. Smith Gibbons and his mother left this week for Vernon, Cooley and other polling places for the purpose of seeing the voters before the election in Nov ember.
 MT. and Mrs. Jack Odell re- turned from their honeymoon trip last Friday. They report a splendid trip and visit among friends and relatives at Flagstaff and Phoenix. They are now at home on their ranch on the Zuni.
 Several of our sportsmen left yesterday for the mountains to be on the ground to take a crack at the first deer that puts in an appearance when the season opens this A. M. Others are leaving today and many more are going in the near future. Sue cess to them, but may God pro- tect the poor deer.
 Alonzo E. Cox is certainly worthy of some praise for the steps he has taken in cleaning up the lot and house that is used as a camp ground for the tourists. Although the city should look after keeping this spot cleanly for the tourists and for the civic pride of the people nothing has been done in this direction except what MT. Cox has done and he has made the place look good twice to our knowledge and has set an example that would be well for the business part of the city to follow. But as the old saying goes "what is everybody, S business is nobQdy,s business"

LEAGUE TREBLEs IT'S VOTE

Coincident with the announcement
from such prostitute publications as
the Fargo Foolem that the Nonparti,
san League movement losing ground
comes a news dispatch from Oliver
Morris, League publicity director in
Minneapolis, to the effect that the
Farmer-Labor candidates polled more
than 1000, 900 votes in nine states
during the recent election. Two years
ago the combined Nonpartisan vote
in all states where it's endorses ran
was approximately 100000.
Think of it, the League more than
trebled it's vote in nine states at a
time when black reaction stalked thru
the land, farmers and workers alike
stampeding to Harding like SO many
sheep in a wild, stupid attempt to re-
pudiate wisconsin. The League is
growing by leaps and bounds, and it
bids fair to hold the balance OF power
in national politics by 1924 at the very
outside.

DECLARE A GENERAL AMNESTY

Incomplete returns indicate that Eu-
gene Victor Debs, candidate of the So
cialist party for president, polled at
least 3,OOO,O 900 votes in the recent con-
test, more than trebling the vote ac-
corded him in 1912. His popularity
with the people is remarkable, consid-
ering the fact that he was compelled
to conduct his campaign activities
from a "front cell" in Atlanta peni-
Tertiary. Gifted orator, that he is,
Debs would have rolled up at least
five million votes had he been at lib
erty to wage a platform campaign.
No matter how the "kept press
editors may attempt to explain away
the phenomenal vote Of Debs, the bald
fact remains thatit is simply q ring
ing call upon tho part Of at least s.
600, 900 Americans for political amnes-
~. "As long az there Is a soul in
prison / am not Free" said Debs, the
nobleman Of Nature, when he ap-
peared for sentence before an Ohio
Judge for exercising the constitutions
al right Of free speech. And upwards
OF 8,00O,O00 electors BY their votes

WHO IS A LIAR?

The Advocate gives considerable
space in it's last issue to the article
appearing in The Courant the week
previous, dealing with the boys of
Bottineau who were parading the
streets on Monday night before cleo
ton shouting "To He'll with the Lea
gue,' "To He'll with the Nonparti-
sans" The Advocate denies that the
boys were PAID for shouting the
above and says, 1--WE have talked to
a number Of people who witnessed
the actions of the boys and have failed
to find a single person who says they
acted in a manner ~unbecoming gentle
men," The Advocate does not deny
that the boys made the above remarks
and still maintains that they were
gentlemen for so doing. The editor de-
MES however, that the boys were paid.
AS for the boys being paid it is not
necessary to say any more, a greater
number of the people of the city
knowing that they were. A certain l.
V. A.. leader of the city stood on the
corner and laughed very heartily, con-
sidering the attitude of the boys very
good. For this week we will keep his
name out Of print. Lees idea Of a gen.
tleman is one who will go around
shouting ITO He'll with the League"
ITO He'll with the Nonpartisans."
Therefore the rest Of us are anything
but gentlemen in said Lees opinion.
Lee wants to give the matter all the
publicity possible and states that
whoever does the writing of local mat
ter in the socialist organ certainly
pulled a bone-head play in giving the
above publicity"

WHIP THE FLUTES FIRST

"It is not a truce in the fight be-
tween Townleyism and Anti-Townley..
ism that we seek, but an avoidance OF
a program of "reprisals." Let us de-
clare Bismarck neutral ground, let US
bar the alien lobbyist, let US get our
feet under the same table with u po-
litical opponents and try to bring
about an era of better feeling in North
Dakota."-From the Fargo Forum

Nov. 2 Indicated that they approve his

As soon as he assumes office March
A, President-elect Harding should de-
clare a general amnesty, freeing every
man behind the bars who is not an In
durable menace to society. So-called
criminals in most instances are sim
ply the by-products Of the present hig-
gledy-piggledy social order, and many
Of them should be in asylums or hos
pitfalls instead Of penitentiaries.
Debs declares he will not voluntar-
lay ~evacuate his prison cell until a
general amnesty is declared. It re-
mains to be seen what official atti-
tude Mr.. Harding will take on the am
nesty question. Be these matters as
they may, however, this much is OBJ
vious-whether he is liberated at an
early date or permitted to die in a
felons' cell, Eugene Debs seems des-
tined to go down into history as one
of the most picturesque characters
in American politics. He has broken
more precedents than any other man
in public life. Debs is the only candi-
date who ever made the race for the
presidency CARRIED in a prison suit
polling 100000 votes.
America has come to a pretty pass
indeed, when her elder statesmen
deem it the part of expediency to keep
a man of the Eugene Victor Debs type
behind the gray, dismal walls at AT.
lanta penitentiary.

SCHOOL DISTRICT IN
NEED OF FUNDS

Bottineau School District is badly
in need of funds with which to keep
things going. Due to poor crops
throughout the county for a number
of years past the banks of Bottineau
are borrowed up about as close as they
dare go and for that reason warrants
issued on Bottineau school district
cannot be cashed. It is a matter all
u citizens r vitality interested in
and one which should receive serious
consideration from everyone. Of
course Bottineau school district is not
the only school district in the state in
need of help but due to crop failures
in this immediate vicinity it therefore
is considerably harder for our district
than many others. We all want to
keep schools open but as things
stand at the present time financial
help from some place is necessary.

TO FILM RADICAL NOVELS

Announcement is made by the La
Dor Film Service of New York that
within a few weeks several famous
novels dealing with the much-mooted
question of social and economic re-
form will be dramatized and thrown
upon the movie screen. Upton Sin
clair's masterpiece "The Jungle" will
be among the first to receive recogni-
ton in this manner.
Recently Big Business has been u.s.
ing the moving picture screen extern
sively in it's cunning and insidious ef-
forts to prejudice the American peo-
pie against the cause of labor. Sever
al scenarios exhibited in Fargo picture
houses were little else than pure prop
uganda. Invariably a band of anar-
chists with flowing Windsor ties fig
ured somewhere in the plots, and the
cause of labor in general was held up
to public contempt and ridicule. In al
most every instance advocates of &C.
onomic reform and labor chieftans
were portrayed as wild-eyed Williams
bent on murder, rape and destruction
On the other hand, captains of indus
try and Wall Street f%inanciers were
usually pictured as "pious and noble
saints"
Labor has decided to have its own
films service, and now a group OF
masterfully-written but long neglect
ed novels may see the light of day on
the screen. Notably among the stories
that should be filmed are the follow
ing: Jack London's "Iron Heel" Will
liam Dean Howells' "A Traveller from
Alturia", Stephen Cranes "The Red
Badge of Courage, Hamlin Garland's
"The Son of the Middle Border
Frank Morris "The Octupus," 1gna'
thus Donnelly's Caesars Column" as
we'll as several social studies in fiction
by the late David Graham Phillips.
In English literature the works Of
Charles Kingsley, Dickens, Charles
| Reade, George Shaw and H.. G. Wells
all suggest scenario possibilities.
The average moving picture house
today features the bunk of such au'
thors as Rupert Hughes and Emerson
Hough-writers who have the gift Of
playing on language and Juggling
words, but who either lack analytical
power, or purposely and i%nsincerely
blind their eyes to the inequalities Of
wealth and the social injustice which
result from the enslavement of thu
masses by a few thousand million
aires and minor plutes.

The Courant had lost many subscribers
who in turn were taking the Advocate.
In view of the above The Courant
might state that two farmers of Bot
tineau county were in the city this
last week and informed The Courant
that for a long time past they have
tried to STOP the Advocate but with
no success. These two gentlemen told
US they had never ordered the Advo-
cate but that it simply started to come
and they did not want it in the house.
These two gentlemen were here last
week and over a period of six months
The Courant has been informed of the
same deal by at least Is farmers. But
then The Advocate list is growing by
leaps and bounds or something like
that and The Courant is losing out ev-
cry week. Take a look at the vote Civ

then judge for yourself.
