MILITARY CAMPS BEAR FRUIT

Already the fruits of life in this sum-
mer's military training camps are be
coming evident Even. the youths who APP
piled for admission and were refused are
better off for their experience.
One-half of the young men who were
DISQUALIFIED at the Plattsburgh camp on
physical grounds were not aware of their
defects. Being warned. they are in po-
sition to build themselves up before it is
too late.
As for the lads who took the training,
they have reaped all the benefits which
come with such an experience. They are
healthier. more alert, better poised. more
self-controlled. They have had the fun
and the valuable experience that go with
camp life and camp association. Even
though they were good, loyal lads when
they went into training. their loyalty has
strengthened with their bodies as they
realized themselves responsible part of
the nation.
The people who feel that military
training camps are inconsistent with a
disarmament policy need not worry. The
BOYS will come out of the camps not
thirsty for war, but thirsty for useful cit
izenship and expecting to go to war only
as it shall become the duty of any able
citizen. They will be so much better able
to perform the ordinary duties of peace
than their unframed brethren as to make
the latter enviOus.

RECAILN NORTH DAKOTA.

North Dakota's recall election, aimed
1T the NOn-Partisan leaguers in the state
is now assured. More

been tentatively set for Nov. L.
1t is not to be u political election in
the generally accepted sense of the word.
Republicans and Democrats will not
count. as such. The question is, briefly.
Are the voters of North Dakota for the
non-partisan league, or are they tired
of its promises?''
The election is of more than state
wide interest. Every, American who has
followed this experiment in state Social
ism, every student of economics and gov
eminent and, of course, every politician
is keenly interested SO is every hopeful.
and every embittered radical.
Just now the leaguers are at disad-
vantage. The bank of North Dakota is
not honoring the checks of its depositors,
The mill and elevator and the home
building associations, of which much was
expected. have stopped work with no rec
ord of worthwhile accomplishment. Inc
chain stores and newspapers which were
to simplify the farmers problems and
fight his battles are no longer active
There seems no market for the state
bonds, which have been offered exten
siveIy in Chicago and New York anc
through the columns of publications
which strive to create and capitalize un
rest.
The enemies of the league are conf

Commissioner Hagen, and they point t.
last falls election, when the governor
won by 1900 votes and Harding by H.
900 as evidence that the Non-Partisal
outfits grip upon the state is far iron
strong. The leaguers, on their part, pro
TESS a similar assurance.
However the recall vote goes, non
need worry about the future of Nortl
Dakota. The great mass of the peopl
are sane. Woodworking, full of faith Il

election, they will one day solve thei

Slight Satisfaction.
(Rutland Herald.)

thutiSAtu ltldiu-l
\ peculiar case was disposed of in
federal court at Montpelier the other
day. man by the name of Joseph s.
Bland, who lives near Newfane, was
arrested about month ago, charged
with sending obscene literature through
the mail. He remained in Jail about a
month and when arraigned in court said
he had no counsel, as he had done moth
ing and didn t know why he should hire
a lawyer.
The conclusion of the case indicates
that he told the exact truth. A woman
by the name of Branch had made the
complaint and submitted the evidence,
a letter, which experts think she wrote
herself. She was not in court when
BANDS case was reached.
On the showing Judge Harland b.
Howe could not do otherwise than nolle
pros the case and set the defendant at
liberty. What will happen to the
Branch woman is not stated, but unless
she proves to be mentally deficient she
certainly should be brought TO book.
Even If she were sentenced to term
in prison for forgery and perjury, it
would be slight satisfaction to Bland
who has been deprived of his liberty
subjected to the humiliation and dam
age of Indictment and left entirely
without recourse unless he should
choose to sue the woman.
Here is a case in which an apparently
innocent man has been considerably
wronged. punished for no fault and
satisfaction at law practically denied
| him.
This means no reflection on court OIL
court officers. who are required to carry
| out the literal terms of the law, but
certainly some one ought to be held ac
