Pair of Skies" to Be Played Again
Friday\ Evening

Following a request from the many
who were unable to attend the prev
ous performances Of "a Pair Of
Sizes" that great laughable comedy
presented by local talent under, the
direction, of Sanford Dodge, the play
will be presented at the high school
auditorium again Friday evening Of
this week. John E. Towards high
school orchestra will be on hand for
this entertainment.
The writer attended the New Years
night performance and we want to 60
on record as saying that this is just
about the best local talent play we
have ever seen given anywhere. The
comedy is not only an exceedingly
clever affair, but the players were
carefully selected and we'll trained.
If you want five dollars worth Of fun
for dollar, attend "A Pair Of Skies
Friday night and at the same time
help out good cause, the Minot Dent
al clinic for the public schools, for the
benefit of which the play is given.

using them as health giving agencies

J. l. Cahill, member of the budget
commission, has made preliminary
estimate Of the appropriations asked
by the various state departments and
institutions, placing the figures at S.
ooGoOO, as compared to S4,6S7, $4,000
for the biennial period just ending. 1t
is expected that efforts will be made
in the budget commission or in the
legislature to cut the appropriations
to somewhere near the pre-war figure.
The legislators who take stand on
a program of strictest economy, will
make a big hit with the folks, back
home who are trying to pay Sheir

dollays in unpaid taxes turnout the
state. Gentlemen, give us chance to

Railroads to Pay Remaining Taxes

County Auditor r. w. Kennard re-

state tax commissioner, stating that
the railroads operating in North Da-
kota now desire to pay the remainder
of the 1917 and 1918 taxes based on
the recent decision Of the District
Court of the United States. The
railroads paid the county only 2/3 Of
their taxes for those years and the
remaining one-third will amount to
forty or fifty thousand dollars it is
believed.

ers came into contact with Amer
lean ideals and the more they
learned to understand and appre-
ciate American institutions the
less would they give ear to social
ism and the more would they be
willing to support the sane sys-
tenn of equal opportunity that
prevails in this country.
The experience of the past few
years has, moreover, gone very
far to show the inhabitants Of the
ghetto who are quick enough and
able-minded enough to reason
from cause to effect realize that
the rosy picture that had been
painted for them by socialism was
a mere mirage. Socialism could
not prevent the world war, nor
could it even stand aloof in the
bloody conflict of the nations.
Socialism under the most favor
able circumstances and in the
most powerful position to demon
strate it's value has proved a COM
plete failure in Soviet Russia.
Consequently, the followers of
the movement in the ghetto have
turned their back upon it and
have demonstrated their deter
mination to stand by American
ism rather than to stand or to
fall by socialism.

EDITORIAL
SOCIALISM AND THE
GHETTO

Until recent years the thing
that seemed to brighten certain
nervous individuals among Our
own people and among others was
the strong manifestation of So
cialism in the New York ghetto.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that
the results of the elections in New
York last week will act as seda-
tive to the disturbed nervous sys-
TENS of these individuals. For,
the elections in New York showed
that the ghetto as a stronghold
of socialism is getting to be more
and more in a class with Ireland
as a stronghold for snakes.
The fact of the matter is that
socialism in the ghetto has been
on the wane for some time. That
it did find a response in the
ghetto, where the living condi-
tions were anything but favor
able, is certainly not surprising.
Nor will any one blame the
ghetto jewellers who had long
been held in political and eco
nomic bondage for having list.

a socialistic Utopia. 1t was clear,
however, from the very outset

LAWFUL OR UNLAWFUL?

The court that has been trying
the participants in the riots in
Jerusalem on November Z has
just made public it's verdict, SEN
fencing three Jews, respectively,
to II, 10 and 6 years each. The
specific charge against them was
that they threw bomb at the
Arab mob that was attacking the
Jewish quarter, and (sicD since
they acted not in self-defense,
they were found guilty.
In view of what has been es-
tablished as to the part the Arabs
played as aggressors, this verdict
is curious, to say the. least. 1t
has been pointed out that the at
tack on November 2, the fourth
anniversary of the Balfour decla-
ration, was prearranged by the
Arabs; that the British authori-.
ties had an intimation that trouble
would occur Gas is evident from
the quick Intervention of the au-
thorities, and the comparatively
small casualties); Englishmen
present in Jerusalem at the time,
have written to London newspa-
pers telling how ashamed they
felt, as Englishmen, at the way
the Arab attack was tolerated by
the authorities. And yet the
court finds that technically, the
three Jews accused of throwing
the bomb were acting illegally,
because not they personally were
being attacked, but the Jewish
quarter; hence their action was
not in self-defense.
Thus we see to what ridiculous
extremes court can go when II
desires to qttibb1e. Of course, the
Jews in question should have
waited until the gentle Arab mot
had to it's hearts content attacked
and ravished the Jewish quarter
with it's defenseless old men ane
women and, children. Then, hae
they shown anyinclination to at

can render them exceptional
service?

tack these three Jews individual
ly, it would have been perfectly
legal for the latter to defend
themselves
We can imagine the chorus of
commentator that will arise
from Jew-baiters in Palestine and
elsewhere, over the decision of the
Jerusalem court. Henceforth all
that mob needs to prove is that
it is not attacking individuals, but
a group of Jews. No Jew, unless
he proves that he is fighting in
self-defense, can lawfully oppose
the murderous assailants. TO do
so would be illegal. Apply the
same principle, if you will, to the
everyday walk of life and see
where it will lead us. Is there
an anti-tuberculosis campaign?
Don't have anything to do with it,
unless you are yourself suffering
from the disease? But what of
the public good? What of COM
munal duties? No, there are no
such problems. You must exert
yourself only in self+defense. I'm
less you are personally involved
you must not intervene. But
why multiply illustrations?
JewIbaiters have recognized
and taken shelter behind the
subterfuge. There are on the
statute books of civilized nations
laws against libel and SANDER. If
someone attacks you, even with
the pen; if they assassinate char
acter, you can make them liable
just as in the case of physical at
tack. But the Jew protects only
the individual. AS for the group,
any scoundrel may rise up and
villify the character, slandering
most cruelty and falsely and no
member of the group has any re-
dress at law. No Individual can
act in "self-defense," since he can
not prove that he is suffering from
the attack made upon the group
1t is just such silence of the law
on this point that gives anti
Semites, whether in Jerusalem or
in Detroit, immunity when they
attack the Jews by cudgel or by
pen.

CHAPTER XxXV

IRK LANSING was the first
true love of Helen Westheld'
N life. AS she dwelt upon his
upright character, his good
ness, it brought to her poignant
understanding. She was glad, proud,
that he loved her and her pride made
virtue of necessity when she told
herself she never would marry him
Or any one.
How was she in her youth, her
innocent girlhood, to know that the
man who swore she was the only
woman he had ever loved lied to her
that he was not legally free? When
grieve for him, the man, but Tor her
lost faith. Now that faith had come
back to her, only too late, because
of this other that had scared her
very soul.
More and more as the days passed
was it borne in upon her that she
owed Kirk Lansing something. AT
least some sort of an explanation.
Could she tell him part, and would
he take it lis reason for her aloof-
ness, or would he demand to know
all? No. she would not risk a half
confession. If ever she told him
she would be honest with
him. But she grew thin and pale
and lost all interest in the things
that before had really interested
her. Only her work held her; only
in that did she find forgetfulness.
When Kirk Lansing had taken
Helen and Adele home from dinner
the night before, refusing to go in,
feeling he could not trust himself,
a skalk;ng figure had caught
glimpse of his pale face, had noted
his distraught manner and solilo-
Quized:
Hes it, all right! I'll bet! I've
waited long enough. Guess she's the
one I'll have to make hand out first.
