Investigations, lock Charles Ponzl. the
''bushel basket" millionaire up IN jail
and many other kinds of fraudulent
dealings are brought to light, but A.
C. Townley still runs loose. Must be
Big Business some place. ..-
President A. G. Crane, of the Minot
Normal school, has rendered his reslg-
nation and will 60 to Edinboro, Penn
svlvania, where he has taken the
principalship at a salary OF $4,000.
You cannot keep the best educators IN
this state under the present cond'-
tons.
Neil Mcdonald, who fought Miss
Minnie Nelson's election as state sup
erintendent of public instruction In the
courts, has been selling books In Mon
tana. An acquaintance returned from
there saws Neil is now knocking the
nonpartisan league leaders. Who's
next.
Ole Oleson, of Eddy county, who has
been drafted to run against Congress-
man George NJ. Young, wants to know
what stand Mr.. Young is going to
take. In answer to that we will state
that Mr.. Young is not standing-he is
running-and running like scared
iackrabbit at that We would ad-
wise Mr.. Ole Oleson to watch ms
smoke.
Canada is becoming tired of this To-
cal option farce and the fact that the
United States is dry and is getting
ready to enter the bone dry list. In
the next few months the people are
to vote on the wet and dry PROPOSE
ton and it is confidently expected that
the drys will win out. In many of the
provinces of Canada it is already dry
in fact all the provinces except Que
bee where light wines and beer are al
lowed to be sold. There will be an
awful thirst developed if Canada goes
bone dry.
We notice that Chairman Hays, of
the republican national committee, in
giving out list of campaign monies
awarded to the different states, has
left North Dakota without a penny.
This is too bad We bought new
automobile last spring and our politl-
cal friends on the other side kindly
said that big business bought it for
u.s. Now Mr.. Hays is going to knock
that bunch out of lot of campaign
thunder again-because how can big
business buy US any more Injuries if
they do not send any campaign funds
up this way. 1t is sadly disappoint-
ing. We are going to TESS up that big
business did buy that automobile-it
was the big business we have worked
up by our own personal efforts during
all the years we have been in business.
The Fargo Courier-News is still
harping about the expose in grain
gambling which has saved the farmers
of North Dakota millions of dollars.
It claims all the credit. Come out of
your long sleep, Courier-News. The
weeks before the Fargo paper ever
thought about it. This puts US in
mind of another item in that up-to-
the-minute sheet. Sunday it carried
story about sixty Chinese pheasants
being turned loose in Barnes county.
We had the same story four weeks
ago. The Courier-News is getting all
it's best news FROM the Times-Record
only it is three or four weeks behind
time in reading this paper. Get some
body up-to-date to read the exchanges
then you can at least give your read
ers the news within forty-eight hours
after this paper instead of a month
after.
Gov. Cox has stirred up a hornets
nest about his ears in regard to this
campaign proposition. We rather
think by this time he wishes he had
let it alone. At any rate why all this
noise and buster about campaign
funds. Both sides are going to get
all the money they can to win out in
November, one party being no better
than the other. We will bet a dough-
Lut that the republican national cam
paign fund or the democratic cam
paign is no bigger than the fund the
farmers of the northwest are putting
up to help Mr.. Townley convert these
northwestern states to state social
ism. Millions of dollars are being
presented to the league leaders for
propaganda to carry the northwestern
states for Townleyism. But nothing
is said about that. Mr. Cox is a pres
idential candidate seeking the highest
office in the gift of the American peo-
ple-the presidency of the United
States. 1t is mans size job and re-
quires man of real worth and ability
to fill it. For the past eight years we
have had an administration that has
been lacking in many things, and we
are to elect successor to the reign
ing emperor in Washington. The point
with the people is whether Harding
