The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1921-04-14

In it's March 30th issue the Courier
News editor tells the new Nonpartisan
committee that it can have the paper
1T has been losing money during the
past fifteen months. There are $1,000
of pressing obligations. You manage
it, because you elect the managers.
Hence it is your paper" Alright. Just
turn over the stock to the committee.
Since the committee shall manage and
own and pay, especially pay with a
big P.-why not turn over the stock?
Otherwise evil minded I. ". A. will
say you are asking the committee to
fatten up your winter-starved
maveric, in order that you may sell or
butcher it for your own account. It's
really large critter and ugly, hungry
and starved. It will take lots of
farmer money to fatten it up. Better
turn over the stock and let the title go
with the horns and hoof and tail.
Would look more honest, you know. )

Thirty meetings, presumably financ-
ed by the State of North Dakota from
public funds, either through the
Bank of North Dakota or from the
direct appropriation for the industrial
commission, will be held in leading
cities of the United States to promote
the sale of North Dakota bonds, it is
reported. Carl D. Thompson, the Chi
cago socialist, who was on the bank
payroll for sine time, is head of the
plan to sell the bonds. Gov. Frazier
and Attorney General Lemke and 9th
err leading lights in the movement of
the nonpartisan league are to assist
in the meetings to be held to boost
along the bond drive.

Says Lemke's organ: Liberty has
never been free. Our fathers paid in
blood. Are few dollars too must for
u.s." When you consider Lemke's
situation "'before and after taking"
you can readily see that he is right. A
few dollars even millions have not
been too much for him and his gang.
The whole gang is as liberal as can be
with the peoples dues. donations and
tax-money. Look at the army Of So
cialist soapboxers they have fed. Look
at the money taken by the gang
through the Scandinavian bank. Look
at beautiful palaces built for Lemke
Hagan and other league leaders. How
ever, it makes difference if you give
OR receive. The gang leaders have
been and are on the reception COM

IDUNNo, DO YOU?

Regardless of just what may be the personal opinion on the "wet" and "dry" question, there is widespread opinion among those who are entrusted with the enforcement of the Volstead act that there is not sufficient sentiment among the people to make enforcement effective and that the law is breaking down of its own weight because of that fact. That the old-time saloon is dead issue, is patent fact. The general public would never consent to the return of the saloon. One time good judge, good lawyer and governor-all in one person-said that law passed by bare majority of the people was a bad law for it was impossible of enforcement it would take about all the time of one half of the people enforcing the law on the other half. There is no question but the people of the United States wanted to do away with the saloons and their evil influences. Since that was done there are millions who feel that the laws were too radical. The chief of police in Chicago says that half of his 5000 policemen are bootleggers; the federal authorities can't claim quite that much percent age but even their record looks much like a golden road to wealth in many sections of the country. So far as the United States is concerned financially, millions have been spent to en- force the law and billions have been made be- cause of the law much of which might have been used in keeping the country from the billions of indebtedness.

BILLS HUNTING FOR OUR GOAT.

Editor Bill Stuart of the Prescott Courier seems much "gee-hawed" because The Sun has not turned the republican party over to the democrats It's just like the democracy. It is difficult for them to see the justice of criticism of ones own party, for the good of the party. Their idea seems to be that such criticism should carry one over into the opposition party, just for spite. The editor of The Sun is republican from principle, not for gain, and like other parties, the republican party is sometimes tainted with men whose sole ambition is to hold office and reap the honors. They do so mainly by sufferance of men who do believe in and work for the party. The time for "bean spilling" has not arrived yet, but the day always arrives when just debts are paid one way or another. Our democratic friends seem to think they are facing a sure victory next year, but they are counting their chickens before they are matched. By that time they will, in all probability, be facing new condition of affairs which they are not counting on just now. Then, too, it would be we'll for the democratic party to look over their remnants closely and see what they can piece together. No use Bill, hunting around for our goat-he's plumb under our own personal control.

PROPOSED SHOOT LAW POPULAR.

Since Senator Reed Shoot made public his four-ply measure which is so simple that child can understand>it, he has been absolutely del uged with correspondence indorsing his bill. For some days he had his office force working over time trying to answer the letters, but recently he was compelled to forego the task as it was hu- manly impossible to acknowledge the accumua- tion of mail which he found on his desk each morning. Letters praising his tax bill are being received from every section of the country and from all parties. It is Senator Shoots intention to press his substitute tax measure to vote, and judging from the support he is receiving from the country at large it is more than probable that if the bill is not accepted in it's entirety, at least some of the salient points of it will be en- acted into law Naturally the stronger the popu- lar support of the Shoot substitute the greater will be his leverage in securing its adoption in whole or in part.

THE LAWLESS EAST.

When readers of The Dispatch in Douglas and Agua Preta read in the papers stories about the operations of highwaymen, killers, kidnap- CTS, etc., in New York, they no doubt thank their stars that they do not live on the American frontier. They may be bit pharisaical and utter thank or two that circumstances have not cast their lives among the wicked, willy, wild and woody Gothamtes.
 Speaking for ourselves, we should not think of going to New York without making a will de- vising our Ford to the egatee of the decedent, if such we should become. And when we say leg atee' we mean no reference to the tea that is commonly reported to be poured out of New York bootlegs which, one hears, will turn the quick into the stiff before one can say Jack Rob- inson. Ones life is on the knees of the gods, to be sure, when one drinks out of a boot camp any where, but the inspiration of our preparedness would be New York's police. These ruminations doubtless represent true cross-section of a Douglasite's mind when he thinks of New York. Therefore, he will be surprised to read that the mayor of that wild and woody town has address ed letter to the papers expressing his concern lest their out-of-tOwn readers conclude that "New York is as lawess as an old-time mining camp"
 Shades of Charleston, Tombstone and Tue son! Is it not enough to bring the tribe of Alkai Ike out of the ground, to have the old-time min ing camp compared with New York? It is true that justice came west ahead of the codifed law and that justice was adjusted to halr-trgger responsiveness, but so were homely virtues It has never been written of the old-time mining camp that the hungry and the needy were gun butted and clubbed by sheriff's posses or a rangers detail.
 The west was never lawless in the sense that it fell from a state of established law and order it has never fallen from that state, as New York and Chicago have, since the justice of the courts was dovetailed with the justice of the red- booded, quick-shooting pioneer posses comitatus.

The Eleventh Annual Build and Boost Ed ton" of the Tucson Citizen, dedicated to the memory of the former editor in chief Allan B. Jaynes, containing S4 pages was issued on Sep tember 3Oth. It was mighty good edition and one which covered the whole of Arizona and a part of Mexico in splendid shape. It was fitting tribute to the memory of Allen B. Jaynes, the man who made the Citizen one of the best papers in the southwest.

The Douglas International is warmly advis- ing the democratic brethren that it is time for all good democrats to get together and glue up the broken pieces of the old party and glue up a ticket may be presented for defeat next year. Major Kelly firmly avows that if enough demo- crats be secured to vote the same ticket with out scrtaching,. it will be possible to win the state back to democracy. But even if they could, what's the use?

The Prescott Courier bemoans the fact that there are more republican papers published in Arizona than there are democratic papers, and, the republicans are more loyal to their papers than are the democrats. Well, what can you ex- pect? Facts and figures are mainly on the re- publican side where people do the most hard thinking.

GRAND JURY WILL.
QUIZ ARBUCKLE ON
SOURCE OF BOOZE
GOVERNMENT LAUNCHES IN.
CURRY TO DISCOVER FROM
WHOM SUPPLIES WERE OBJ.
TANNED FOR DRUNKEN ORGY.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. New
angles in the federal inquiry into the
source of the liquor consumed at the
hotel party given by Roscoe G. Ar
buckle at which Miss Virginia Rappe
Is declared to have suffered fatal in
jury were at the fore today. In some
quarters interest In possible grand
jury action on Arbuckle by federal
grand jury overshadowed that in the
charges of manslaughter already laid
against him in connection with Miss
Rappe's death. Robert II. McCor'
mack, special assistant to the attor
ney general of the United States, an
nounced last night that he shortly
would make complaint against Ar
buckle on the charge Of having liquor
unlawfully in his possession.
Such a complaint could be made
the basis of grand jury action.
There was much speculation as tc
the identity of two other men who
Mccormack said would be charged
Jointly with Arbuckle. One of them
the federal attorney said, was prom
inent San Francisco business mar
who had been present at the Arbucklt
party.
Late yesterday federal agents raid
er Gabeys grill, restaurant near thu
hotel, alleging the establishment t.
have been the place where the Ar
buckle liquor was purchased. Thu
manager and three employees were ar
rested and some evidence was seized
The raiding officers, however, charg
ed that most of the liquor had beer
removed, probably on the strength o
advance information.
