ELKs LODGE DOES GOOD DEED

Fraternal orders Of one kind or an
other very often do some good deed
in a quiet, transformations manner, not
letting it become known until some
body who is grateful for a favor
spills the BEANS" So it is with our
local Elks lodge and Col. S. D. Nash,
one Of the old soldier friends of the
Times Record editor, tells a story of
how the Elks have done nice thing
for the old soldiers Of the city or Of
the county. You know time drags on
the hands of these veterans of 81:
who are unable to go out and work
as they did in the days of their youth,
and they do not like to be cumberers
of the earth as it were and under
somebody's feet all the time. The
Elks lodge saw where it could at least
make life pleasant for these old SOL
diers so one night motion was made
in this lodge that free use of the club
room at the Elks Lodge be given to all
old soldiers and that they come and
go at their own sweet will and pleas
ure as they were very welcome. 1t
was unanimous vote and little deed
of kindness that will be the means of
providing a warm, comfortable place
for these old veterans to go and read.
play cards, checkers or chess or loll
around as best they feel like it. Every
old soldier can go and feel that they
are welcome as the birds in May and
that they will be treated with cordial
ity and courtesy from every member
of this lodge. We say that it is very
fine tribute to pay to those who have
done so much to preserve this union
that all may enjoy the blessings Of
prosperity and peace, and we want to
personally say to the members Of the
Elks lodge that they are large heart
ed bunch of fellows and can see every
angle of life so that they may, as they
have done, contribute some pleasure to
those who have passed THAT time
when they can go out in the fullness of
health and strength to get it for
themselves. Col. Nash, and we pre-
sumo others of the veterans, are tax
ing the Elks at their word, and are
enjoying the privileges of the COM
Portable club room and feel that they
are having just as much out of life
this way as any regular member of
the Elks lodge.

The attempted restriction of immigra-
ton by congress for a year or two is
a step in the proper direction to our
notion. There are millions of people
flocking to this country every year
from Italy. Germany, and other coun-
tries, many of these being people who
are not educated nor skilled. They
come into the country and take the
place of those who have grown up here
and learned good trades and thus
cause many Of the really skilled Ia
borers to be forced out of job. At
the rate laborers are being thrown out
of work due to the slowing up of in

A dispatch from the American con-

cotton crop for Egypt has been esti-

ship that bunch of stuff in here to the
detriment of the American cotton

The state legislature meets in Bis
marck one week from tomorrow. There
is very little doing in Legislative mat
tiers at this time, the fight for the
speakership being about the only thing
that causes a ripple on the surface.
There are four candidates for the po-
sition. the leading two of the four be-
ing L. L. Twichell. of Cass county, and
Victor Anderson, Of Burleigh county.
It is said that the latter is the candi-
date of William LANCER. Just why
William should want to organize the
legislature is beyond our guess but
then he must have some future moves
in prospect. At this writing Mr..
Twichell seems to be the strongest
candidate. He was a member of the
last house and is very able man and
one who, if elected to the position OF
speaker, we believe will treat all fair
ly and squarely.

President-elect Warren G. Harding
has endorsed a proposal to have the
Stars and Stripes placed at the top OF
Christmas trees as national custom:
In a letter to Richard c. Fowler, OF
Dayton, Ohio, the next chief executive
wrote: 81 am sure that anything l
might say that would have tendency
to assert Americanism and promote
reverence and respect for our flag
will be most pleasing to me-, The IDEA
which YOU have originated appeals
strongly to me as it combines with a
beautiful custom, a lesson in patriot
ism" We might say right here that
our own city officials put the Stars and
Stripes at the top of our community
tree before Mr.. Harding gave out this
statement. The idea is very good
one and will no doubt be generally fol-
lowed in the future.

President John Bracken, Of the Man

one of the men of International repu-
tation in farming work who will ad-
dress the sessions of the twenty-sec-
ond annual meeting of the Tri-State
Stock and Grain Growers convention
to be held in Fargo, January 10 to '21,
it is announced. North Dakota farm
ers are much interested in DR.. Brack-
ems visit to the convention, the off,
GERS report, as he has made a BRILLIANT
record in agricultural work. He will
address the convention on the second
day of that gathering. The State Poul-
try Association will also hold it's an
nual meeting at the same time in the
auditorium.

dustries occasioned by the cessation of
the war, there is no room in this
country for the many millions who are
waiting on the other shores to flock
to this country. We want to give our
own people a chance to get job be-
fore we hand over all the work to a lot
of aliens from abroad. Hundreds of
thousands of men and women are be-
ing let out Of work every day and un-
less these get work soon it means
many long bread lines in the big cit
les Of the country. This sort Of thing
shouldn't happen in plentiful America,
and if we will only restrict this immi-
grafton movement much Of this idle
ness may be avoided by giving those
who have already made their home
here chance. We hope to see this
immigration law 60 through.

Now that the noise and tumult of
the late election has died down, there
is a disposition in many places to
jump onto the officers of the I. V. A.
and some papers are advocating the
dropping Of this organization alto
gether. We do not know just what
will become of the l. v: A. in the fu-
ture, but we do know that it was due
to that splendid organization for the
magnificent victory last November and
of the election in June, at each one of
which the independent forces helped
win signal victories that could not
have been won without the work of
the leaders of the l. V. A. and those
associated with them. In the midst
of all this success do not let US become
ungra teful Of the services of these men
who have worked faithfully that
North Dakota might be redeemed
from socialism. The last election prac
tically cleaned up Townleyism-very
little being left Of it, when you stop
to thoroughly analyze the vote. It
was splendid victory secured by the
big I. V. A. cooperation and this vic
tory could not have been secured with
out the help of these men who have
given their time and money to help
in defeating Townleyism. This is no
time to throw rocks at these men-on
the other hand few bouquets would
be in order. We will admit that some
mistakes were made, perhaps, but
what business man, what organization,
what corporation exists that is not
guilty of making some mistakes? The
work done by the 1. V. A. is worthy
of commentator, and whatever is de-
termined for the future of that organi-
cation we hope will be harmonious and
,appreciative from those who are now
reaping the benefit of the good work
done in the campaigns Of the past.

An Englishman has given us the best, the
clearest and the most imaginatively true
picture Of Abraham Lincoln. II is a very
difficult feat, one would say impossible, 70
dramatize such figure as Lincoln, who is
Mt once the most intimate and the most
idealized character in our national life II
has been done, however. Mr.. Drinkwater
has accomplished the impossible, and his
work has every mark Of mastery.
This play ought to be shown in every
community Of the United States. II is full
Of the real sap of Americanism. Withal,
il Is so simple, so lacking in stage affecta-
tions and cheap bids for sentiment.
II is just a picture Of the greatest man
we ever produced, and as he walks and
talks before us our Gears run and our hearts
beat faster at the sheer majesty and wonder
Of his human grandeur
Lincoln is member of everybody's fam
lily. We never think of his struggles, his
humor and his tragic death without a
feeling that it is as il he were some beloved
kin Of ours.
For he is ours, yours and mine, and our
childrens yet to be, in closer sense than
any public man.
And the play is full of lessons for our
time. We have with us today the same
characters in different clothes. 1t is the
eternal problem.
