Big men stick together, little
men do not. Therefore, big men re-
main big and little men stay little.
North Dakota wants to borrow
six millions from the bankers and
would pay 8 per cent-very tempt
ing to the big men, State bonds
being free of income tax. But
North Dakota also wants to rule
herself, and to own her banks,
grain elevators. railroads. That
would never do.
North Dakota can't borrow

from the Bolshevist Infection"
can have all the money she wants
at per cent, and is urged to
borrow more.
North Dakota says to the four
million union men in the Ameri-

Russian Bolshevik government
has taken over music and the
drama. "Music inspires the soul
and, therefore, it is very impor-
tant to the people; the plays in

Lenin. :,
The respectable French govern
nent is infected to some extent
with this bolshevist madness, for
it owns the grand opera house in
Paris and the Theatre Francois,
where Sarah Bernhardt learned
her trade.
The French, however, will be
amazed and Mortified, as we are,
at the announcement that Rus
SLAMS are fined, in food rations, If
they don't go to theaters where
communist plays are produced.
It amazes us that men should
be fined for not going to hear a
certain brand of politics. Then
we remember that not so long ago
men were burned alive for not go
ing to hear certain brand of re-
lieion. Twelve hundred Jews
were burned at Strasburg in one
day for that "crime." Remember
ing that, and how backward the
Russians are, makes us more tol-
Grant.
BY the way, if that kind of
burning treatment couldn't ex-
terminate or discourage the Jews,
how can Henry Ford expect to
do either, in these days, with burn
inc gone out of fashion, except
here and there for colored people?
