The crime Of Ekaterinbourg, the
execution Of the car, the czarina
and their children, was in fact only
the end Of a cruel destiny, the
denouement Of one of the most
touching tragedies ever enacted. I
shall retrace the sorrowful stages
and describe them. - .='
The secret malady of the young
czarevitch, heir to the throne,
dominates the entire latter part Of
the reign of the Emperor Nicholas
II, and it alone explains that reign.
/ have striven in this book to
bring back to life, as knew them,
the Emperor Nicholas II and his
family, forcing myself to remain
always impartial and to set forth
with independent Judgment the
events of which l was an eye
witness.
It may be that. in my regard for
the truth, I may furnish their
political enemies with new arms
for use against their memories, but
I confidently hope that, from my
revelations, their true personalities
will be better understood by the
world.

this without becoming known as
"busy-bodies" Our young and even
some of the older heads are frequently
subject to frailty and error and q man
is no longer considered q moralist-sHho
interests himself in improving the con-
ditions of his community along the
lines of right living and right think
ing. A boy or a girl may stray from
the path Of Righteousness, but that is
no reason why the child should be isO.
lated from society. It is the duty Of
society to teach that child to live
right by precept and example. The
schools are not to be blamed for what
children learn in the home. For ex-
ample, a Minot lad of thirteen is ac-
cused of procuring bottle Of whiskey
which he used in getting several Of
his little girl friends drunk on . re-
cent Sunday afternoon. The whiskey
was procured from the lads own home
and it is said that it had been brot
there by his father. The school can
not be blamed for this incident. The
question Of expelling the boy from
school has been brot up. There are
those who contend that no possible
good can come from expelling the lad

TOTAL is STAGGERING

The total amount Of money that has
been moved out Of the pockets Of the
farmers and into the pockets Of the
trained organizers, schemers and pro-
moters is so great as to stagger those
who have not heretofore given this
matter any serious thought. Every
agricultural state has had its lightning
rod agents, nursery agents, stud horse
promoters, railroad promoters, stove
peddlers, etc, but no where have so
many schemes for getting money out
Of the pockets of the farmers been
worked at one time as in North Da-
kota during the last few years. The
confidence men that have worked agri-
cultural states in the past have each
worked their own particular line by
themselves but in North Dakota these
dozen or more schemers have been
co-ordinated, in fact organized 50 as
to operate like one system, emanat-

SENATOR GRONNA ON THE
STUMP

Former U. S. Senator A. J. Gronna
was added to the list of generals in
charge of the Independent recall cam
paign this week and opened his speak
ing campaign in Nelson and Steele
counties, Tuesday he spoke to large
crowds in Tolna, Pekin and Finley;
Wednesday he spoke at Cooperstown
and Binford and he entered Foster
county at McHenry and Grace City,
Thursday. The Senator speaks at
Fingal, Nome and Kathryn, Friday
and at Fort Ransom and Enderlin
Saturday.
In entering the campaign Mr..
Gronna comes out f1ar-footedly for the
recall of the three members of the
Industrial Commission and declares
that it is the duty of all good citizens
to work hard for victory which s
assured if everybody will do what
they can. In his statement Mr..

CARL D. THOMPSON

SAAA -. xAAO.AA SVAN
Grant county has come IN for spe-
cial honor by the North Dakota bosses
of the Nonpartisan League by the ap-
pointment of Carl D. Thompson as
county manager. 1t is also tribute
to Mr.. Thompson's ability as propa-
ganda artist that the campaign man.
ayers for the state administration
have sent him to the southwest part
of the state at this time, because
things have been going wrong down
there, and it takes more than the
ordinary brand of smooth talking to
keep the backsliders in line.
incidentally Mr.. Thompson's ap-
pointment as manager of one of the
smallest counties in the state may
be taken as proof that the Bank of
North Dakota has at least received
that half million dollars loan in cash,
even if the bond sale is only a paper
Because if the admin
istration didn't have the money-and
much money at that-they wouldn't
have Thompson.
Mr. Thompson, be it known, is not
only refornaer, but he is also an
expensive reformer. He is willing
to save the "peepul" via any or all
the various soeialistic or semi-social-
istic routes, roads, paths or by-ways,
but he demands cold cash for it and
he usually gets it in heaps. 1t is
therefore safe to assume that the cash
Is somewhere outside the cold storage
deposits in the Bank OF North Dakota,
because Mr.. Thompson does not want
to spend any time whistling for his
money as some of the other League
county managers have had to do up to
the time that the Bank of North Da-
iota got its last half million.
Mr. Thompson has been in the SER
vice Of the state for some time now,
The Ward County independent., 1921-10-20

sorney General and Mr.. Hagan as
Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor do not deserve the support of
our citizens, but on the contrary they
deserve our condemnation and re-
proach.
LAS public servants they are charg-
ed with mismanagement of the public
business, they are charged with the
misuse and reckless waste of public
funds.
"After a careful study of these
printed reports no honest and intelli-
gent citizen can approve the transac-
tions in question by these high Off
cials. I shall name only few Of
a great number of transactions where
they are charged wither with misman-
agement, misuse of funds, wasteful-
ness and extravaganza or incompe-
tency"

VICTORY ASSURED

For the first time since the battle
against Townleyism began in North
Dakota the final lap in the race for
votes finds the League bosses on the
defensive and the Independents with
better and stronger organization
than the administration forces. The
Independents now have working
unit in practically every one of the
2,058 precincts in the state, and head
quarters in Fargo is being kept in
formed as to the exact situation every
where.
y. Two hundred and fifty reports,
from every county in the state. re-
ceived at the headquarters during the
last half Of last week show that q
tremendous change has taken place in
every part of the state. The general
apathy, which at the beginning Of the
campaign lay like wet blanket over
public sentiment in some localities
and threatened to disrupt the morale
of the Independent forces, has evapor-
ated. Enthusiasm runs high every
where and as to the result on election
day it is now only a question of the
size Of the Independent majority.
Frazier, Hagan and Lenke will
never again get another chance at
mismanagement of state affairs and
squandering public funds the way
they have done in the past. If the
Independent workers keep at it for
another week and do their utmost
on election day, Oct. 28th, League bos-
sism will be done for in North Dakota,
and Nestos, johnson and Kitchen will
take the places Of the three recalled
officials who have for an altogether
too long time disgraced the fair name
Of the Flickertail state.

Is it not time for North Da-

A meeting of number of business
and professional men was held in
this city Monday evening and ways
and means of improving the morals Of
the young people of Minot were dis
cussed. 1t is realized that while Minot
is no worse than other cities, there
is always a chance to improve the
moral condition of any community if
the right kind of cooperative spirit
is shown. Men should never become
so busy making money that they neg

salary and ditto commissions from the
Bank of North Dakota as special
representative" whatever that is; one
Of his duties, for which the taxpay-
ers have paid him handsomely, has
been that Of lobbying at various labor
conventions and radical gatherings.
Mr.. Thompson became first known
to the people of Wisconsin as the
right hand man of Emil Seidel, first
Socialist mayor Of Milwaukee; he was
for some time secretary Of the Public
Ownership League of America; was
member Of the national committee of
the Socialist party and one of the
leading men of the party.
In 1914 Mr.. Thompson was MEM
Der of the information department Of
the national Socialistic party; he op-
posed individual ownership of land
and suggested that the time had come
for socially-operated farms; in 1916
campaign. Before that he was as
sociated with Walter Thomas Mills
and the /. w. w. movement In 1921

memory the fact that Mr.. Thompson,
shortly before he was invited by JOS
eph Gilbert, state manager for Min
nesota for the Nonpartisan Laguea,
to address the famous League meet
ing in St. Paul, through the official
publication of the Socialist party had
advocated special tax of two bill
lion dollars to be imposed on the
farmers as provided in the Crosser
bill then pending in Congress.
Thompson and his associates start
ed, as will be remembered the motor
ious "Your-For- r-The-Revolution" Col

him was our old time friend Kate
Richards O'Hare. Mr.. Thompson is
at that considerable better than some
of the other farmers friends at
the head of the Nonpartisan League.

Our schools have many a difficult

they are solving those problems ex.

they behave well in school but as we

DOUBLING THE TAXES

While other states, and even Uncle
Sam. himself, are making desperate
efforts to econonize and "get back to
nornlalcy" in the matter Of of taxa
ton, our North Dakota state officials
continue to pile UP the tax burden.
"The new day" is expensive.
1t was disclosed Saturday that the
general fund tax levy for 1921 will
be Just double what it was a year
ago.
The general fund is the fund from
which the general expenses of run
and this fund will need s3,141, $40 next
current year That means that it
will cost the taxpayers just twice as
much as it did last year to support
our present state administration.
Houses for Mr.. Lemke, and salaries
and expenses of campaign workers,
and postage for campaign literature,
and full page advertisements for cam
paign purposes, and loans to state
officials all come high, and when
taken out Of the tax money it is not
surprising that the taxes go up.
As long as the voters approve the
policy Of building houses from state
funds for office holders: of lending
money from state funds to public Off
cials in direct violation of the law;
of paying for full page newspaper
advertisements telling Of the accom-
plishments of the administration, with
state funds; of taking postage for
campaign literature from public
money; and of all political workers on
the state payroll instead of paying
them from the campaign fund, just SO
long will our taxes remain where they
are, and. just so long may we look
forward to having them increased 100
percent at any time.
Are the voters going to indorse
an administration that doubles taxes
when all other states are reducing
them, and when our neighboring state
Of Minnesota has abolished general
fund levy entirely for next year?

2,00o KINDS OF INSECTS
 ARE FOUND IN ARKANSAS

Fayetteville, Ark, May 18.-"Ark- ansas has over 2,000 different varie- ties of insects" said Prof. William J. 1 Baerg, professor of entomology in the University of Arkansas, in a recent ralk before the Mount Zion Self-Help Club. ''In the whole earth there are
 perhaps 500,000 different species of insects, which is many more than all the other species of animal life com- 1 bined.
 "The variety of these insects is almost incredible" he added. "There are types that live on all different kinds of animal and vegetable matter, i, and on lead pipe, so that out in , California it is hard to keep the lead ?ire insulation on electric wires. And now from Austria comes the news of
 3 new insect that even attacks tin and
 steel"
 In telling how to combat insects, Prof. Baerg points out that some in-
 sects chew leaves, wood etc., and
 these can be reached by poisons
 5srayed or dusted on their food. But
 -aose that insert drill and thus ex-
 sr@ct their food must be fought with
 a contactual poison, which kills upon contact.

FRANKLIN X. LANE
 DIES SUDDENLY
Former Secretary of Interior Was Apparently on Road to Recovery
 Following Operation.

Rochester, Minn., May 18.-Suc- cumbing to a sudden attack, Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior under President Wilson, died at Mayo hospital here today.
 A steady improvement had been noticed by the attending physicians since MT. Lane was operated on two weeks ago and apparently he was we'll on the road to recovery. At an early hour today the attending nurse noted a weakness of the heart and physicians were called and word was hurried to Mrs. Lane and his brother, George, who were staying nearby. MT. Lane weakened rapidly and died at a. m., few minutes before Mrs. Lane and his brother reached the room.
 Dr. w. J. Mayo, who performed the operation, said MT. Lane had suffered from heart trouble for two years.
 MT. Lane had requested that no funeral services be held for him, rel atives said. The body will be taken to Chicago for cremation, probably tonight, but no plans have been made for the disposition of the ashes.

GERMANS AND POLES
 STILL AT LOGGGERHEADS
A New European Conflagration May Be Started Over Silesian
 Question.

Oppelin, May 18.-A German-Pol- ish war i9 impending in Silesia and minor engagements have occurred al- ready, with numerous dead.
 Heavier fighting that might start a new European conflagration, is ex- pected hourly.
 "Only the withdrawal of the Poles can prevent the Germans from at tempting counter offensive" Gen. Marinis, commander of the Italian plebescite troops, declared.
 Lloyd George Firm.
 London, May 18.-Lloyd George, in public statement, again challeng- ed the French procedure in Upper Silesia. He declared that he ad- hered to his speech in the house of commons last week, when he said that the Silesian question imperilled the peace of Europe.
 He also declared that Germany has as much right as Poland to invade Silesia. The French press, he said had been impertinent.
 United States Not Concerned.
 Washington, May 18.-Secretary Hughes is understood to have told Prince Lubomirski, the Polish minis ter to the United States, that this country has no concern in the settle ment of the Upper Silesian question but regards this as purely European matter.
 Prince Lubomirski had called to ask the American government to use its good offices in effecting a settlement of the controversy.

AMERICANS BRAVE
 BUT fMPRUDEN7 That Is Opinion of French General Who Had the Rainbow Division
 Under Him.

Dusseldorf, Germany. (By Mail to United Press. )-General Catcher, who commands the French and Brit ish forces of occupation in Dussel- dorf, has warm spot in his heart for i the American Army. By the medium
 of this dispatch he wants to be cordi- ally remembered to General Cameron,
 to General Menoher, to General John- son and to General MacArthur.
 It was under Gaucher that the fa- nous American 42nd, or Rainbow, Di- vision received it's baptism of fire. Gaucher's eyes light up when he
 speaks of the Rainbow lads, and par ticularly when he mentions that fine young soldier, ''the MacArthur," a
 general who was oftentimes ahead of his own first line infantry in an ad-
 vance.
 Then he was in command over Cam
 eron of the 4th Division in the fa- nous counter-attack of July IS, 1918. He tells with relish of how he and Cameron shared the same "P. G." l during that operation and controlled the development of their share of it.
 Later the General was shifted to Bel
 gium, and there had under him the l 91st or Pine Tree Division of the
 Tanks, hailing from the Pacific l Hoact orJ ,1,o,,p+oi,, e+o+oe i,, r.o,, o,.o

HOPE ABANDONED FUR
 CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE
Aged Jurist Cannot Withstand Shock of Operation Performed Last
 Friday.

Washington, May 18.-Chief Jus tice White is dying today. A bulletin issued at 10 o'clock stated<that hope for his recovery had been abandoned. -'-- Justice White was operated on at the Garfield hospital last Friday. For a younger man it would have been considered a minor operation.
 Edward Douglas White was born in Louisiana 76 years ago. He was a gallant Confederate soldier and served for three years as United States senator from Louisiana. He was serving in the senate when he was appointed to the Supreme bench by President Cleveland in 1894. Al though staunch democrat he was elevated to the chief justiceship by President Taft, who recognized the great worth and legal attachments of the man.
 Although he has been ill for sever al months he refused to give up his important work, saying that if 1t was necessary he would die rather than stop for treatment.
 The belief prevails in political cir cles here that ex-President William Howard Taft will be named by Presi- dext Harding as Chief Justice Whites successor.
 It has long been the ambition ot Judge Taft to occupy the Supreme bench, and it was said of him that he would have preferred that position to being president.
