The Seattle Post Intelligencer says
that now that we've got Mellon in
the cabinet we should worry about
what the allies are going to 90 with
the Rhine.
Then find an enemy" among the
businessmen of the towns and cities,
if you can. Find a reputable business
man who won't go the limit with you
along sane cooperative lines. Find
business man who won't help you solve
vour problems, if he can, whatever
aBig Business" or the "grain gambl-
ers" or "the railroad lobbyists" think
of it.
A. w. Devore and L. W. Mitchell, of
Sioux City, Iowa, were sentenced by
Judge Nuessle, at Bismarck, to one
wear each in the penitentiary for booze
running. They were captured last
Saturday and are now in the pen,
which is quick record. That is the
way to hand it to the bunch who are
openly defying the law of the country
and the sentence should even be made
sitter. But Judge Nuessle has taken
a step in the right direction by giving
them a stiff sentence.

The allied amusement companies Oh
California composed of representa-
tives of motion picture theaters have
gone on record recently as opposing
the appearance of Clara Smith Hamon
recently acquitted of killing Jake
Hamon in Oklahoma. We are glad to
note that some of the movie corpora
lions are willing to go on record as
tabooing this sort of thing as allowing
notorious characters going into their
business. 1t would be good example
for others to follow. This making
public idols of these characters is
some what disgusting.
The North Dakota State Dental AS
ISOLATION is putting on an educational
campaign to call attention to the ne,
cessity of better care of the teeth and
the members of the association to-
gether with county superintendent:
public health officers, nurses and
teachers, contemplate visiting. every
school and schoolhouse within the
state to give free examinations and
demonstrations, and the governor BE-
lieving that this movement merits the
earnest cooperation of the public and
official endorsement of it's representa-
tives, has designated the week OF April
II to 16 as oral hygiene and dental
educational week.
President Harding's cabinet has
started in doing things and if it keeps
Il mn it will be a cabinet that does
things. Secretary Hughes made a
quick and clean Job of it with Panama
and Costa RIGA and nipped that war
in the bud by one emphatic note
Hoover seems to be live wire IN MS
place and Secretary DENLY and Secre-
tary Mellon seem to be men who are
fitted for their particular work while
Postmaster General Hays is giving
signs of doing things in the postotflce9
Northumberland that particular spot
needs attention more than any other
branch of the government.
Secretary of War Weeks puts the
case rather bluntly when he told ms
Pittsburgh audience that the Unltec
States must raise SIT ,OO0,OOO,O0O II
the next thirty months. OF course
that figure was largely based on estl'
mates, but an investigation OF the
debts coming due in that period ano
the cost of running the government. II
the meantime shows that Mr.. Weeks
total is essentially correct. Those Of
our citizens who have their attention
}. focused on some pet project involving
an appropriation from, the Fedora
Treasury should ask themselves If il
cannot be postponed until a more aus
picious time.
Directors of the Mitchell. South Da
kota, chamber of commerce, yesterda!
voted for the appointment Of com
mittee of three to begin state wld'
campaign to secure a constitutions
amendment changing the name O.
South Dakota to Roosevelt. The name
Roosevelt was chosen because the lat
Theodore Roosevelt spent part OF nj
early manhood in Dakota. Among
reasons assigned for the campaign t.
change the states name is that NOR
than thirty banks have failed in Nortl
Dakota which have been credited t.
South Dakota. Our neighbors evident
ly do not want the odium attached tt
this new day in North Dakota put owe
in them.
Since the ending of the great Worlt
war a parsonage of undesirable tend
encies has been roaming Throughout
3 the country and has made himself fel
here in Valley City in no unmistakabl,
manner as well as elsewhere. Hi!
name is Gus Gloom, and he should b'
hanged in Valley City as in othel
places, and the sooner the better. W.
have no time for such a personag'
nor for the unhappy state Of affair.
which he inevitably brings about. A
Minot recently he was hanged witt
great ceremony, and everybody ha:
since taken a happier vein. Gus
Gloom, the evil witch and harbingel
