A. CORRUPTION.

D1SlNdCINJ-C TONI dll over the SLdt<
Games news telling Of a general re.
volt Of the people against the "rult
or ruin" policy Of the /. v. A. bosses
and bankers. Il
On his recent trip through the south
western counties, at one place Attor.
ney General Lemke was introduced
by a banker and at another town an
other banker insisted on paying fol
the hall in which the meeting was held
saying, Il ought to pay for having
been a sucker"
Many business men were open-spok-
en- in their denunciation Of the I. "
A. bosses for forcing on the state the
expense of, a recall election, and still
more bitterly denounce the Twichell-
ties for their everlasting knocking Of
the state and its credit. "All Two Bit
Nelson and that bunch care about =
they said, lis how much money they
can bleed out Of the business men in
and out of the state. We are thru with
them"
I A prominent Independent told Mr..
Lemke this: One Minneapolis house
complains that it sent s8s,00Q into
North Dakota to be used In the 1918
campaign and that only 5000 Of it
was ever used for that purpose. And
he said they were "mad as wet hor-
nets. sts4
Everywhere too, complaints are be
ing made to the Governor, Mr.. Hagan
and Mr.. Lemke that the I. v. A. boss
es are. stopping at nothing in order to
get enough signatures on their recall
and initiative petitions. It is alleged
that the names of children and babies
in the cradle are being put on their
lists; that farmers are being threat
ened with foreclosure proceedings un-
less they sign, which is penitentiary
offense; that frauds and deceptions of
all kinds are being practiced by par
ties soliciting signatures; and that
high school children are being paid
so much a name for securing sigma
lures and have been instructed in some
cases as to how to lie about their
work.
So many complaints on this line
are coming into Bismarck that Attor-
ney General Lemke has decided to
take drastic action in the matter
whenever he is furnished with the
facts.
To this end, Mr.. Lemke advises all
citizens whose signatures have been
secured by fraud or misrepresentation
orr forgery to Immediately write to
E. w. Everson, Chairman of the
Committee of Petitioners, Fargo, N
D., BY REGISTERED MAIL, and de-
mand that their names be taken from
the lists sending a copy. of their let
ter to MI. Everson to the Attorney
Generals office, Bismarck, N. D. This
should be done at once.
Further, all names will be published
as soon as the petition lists can be
checked and all citizens are asked to
be on the lookout to see whether OF
not their names have been signed fol
them along with the babies.
All threats Of foreclosing mortga-
ges on farmers or others should be
promptly reported to the Attorney
Generals office, when steps will bt
Immediately taken to prosecute thu
threateners to the limit of the Law
and to maintain the right Of a fret
ballot IN North Dakota.

Story of ''The Musketeers"
D'Artagnan was the son of an i'm
poverished Gascon nobleman. Louis
XIII was King Of France. Cardinal
Richelieu was prime minister. The
cardinal sought greater power by
separating Louis and Queen Anne.
D'Artagnan became famous in a
day when he helped the three famous
musketeers, Athos, Porthos n
Aramis. subdue seven of the Cardi-
nails Guards.
He became enamored of Constance
the queens seamstress.
Louis demanded that his wife
wear a diamond clasp he had given
her at a state function. This clasp
she had given to the Duke of Buck
ingham.
Bidden by Constance, D'Artagnan
set out for England to regain n
| CLASH to save the good name of his
queen. The three musketeers went
with him. until the three in turn
were disposed Of by the cardinals

After many risks D'Artagnan re-
turned to Paris in time for the queen

name saved. ,

tiers, ample for their temporary uses
! and such as they can afford to pay
for.
| Thus do they maintain their self-re-
spect and command the good opinion
of the public. No wonder that in his
accepting the nomination for the vice
presidency we find Mr.. Coolidge en-
phasizing the simple virtues that are
developed in the home, however mo-
dest it may be. This is an extract
from that speech:
In free republic great govern
ment is the product of great people.
They will look to themselves rather
than to the government for success.
The destiny, the greatness Of America
lies around the hearthstone. IL thrift
and industry are taught there, and the
example of sef-sacrifice oft appears:
if honor abide there, and high ideals;
If there the building Of fortune be SUBJ
ordinate to the building of character,
America will live in security, rejoic-
ing in an abundant prosperity and
good government at home, and in
peace, respect and confidence abroad.
If these virtues be absent there is no
power that can supply these blessings.
Look well then to the hearthstone,
therein all hope for America lies"
The Vice President and Mrs. Cool
idge and the boys will have home in
Washington and it will be a model
home of very modest proportions,
probably rented house in the out
skirts where they can feel at home.
Otherwise we could easily fancy this
unspoiled American family longing for
their North Hampton home, just as
Riley's boy did whose fathers patent
right had made him "rich as all crea-
tion," but who still longed to be
shack to Griggsby's Station-Back
where we used to be so happy and so
pore"
The country is delighted that open
door democracy has been restored at
the White House; it will also regard
with equally high appreciation that
fine example of plain living and high
thinking that is the daily habit where
the Coolidge family makes it's home.

Indirect Appropriations.

what excuse can congress give for
the continuance of the practice of ap-
propriating vast sums of moneys so
deity concealed that only an expert
can ever ferret them out ? Revolving
funds, authorization Of the expendi-
ture of unexpended balances which
had been appropriated originally for
other purposes, authorizations to di-
vert government receipts before they
ever reach the treasury-these are
some of the methods now in vogue.
1t might be assumed, for instance,
that any citizen could ascertain by in
formal inquiry the amount of money
appropriated by congress in any given
fiscal year, and the amount of money
expended. He has about as much
chance of getting at the facts as a
sightseer1 escorted through the cata-
combs of the capitol by a professional
guide. The general appropriation
bills furnish no clue whatever as to
the amounts which congress is actu-
ally appropriating. A treasury Off
cial estimates that more than billion
dollars of expenditures were authoriz-
ed by the last session of congress, in
addition to the amounts shown in the
usual compiled statements of appro-
priations.
By an indefinite method of appro-
priation for the railroad guaranty,
about $3.50, 100000 was in effect appro-
priated without appearing in any OF
the statements of appropriations.
Congress thought it was appropriate
ing S25O,0O0,000 when it passed the
Cummins- Esch act, but this amount
has more than doubled.
. Another practise rapidly growing in
favor of taking money from the
treasury just as truly as if carried by
an appropriation" is that initiated IN
the merchant marine act of last spring
exemption of certain classes OF bus
mess from excess profits and other
forms of taxation under certain stlpu-
fations.
Yet the mandarins of the appropri-
ations committees of congress are the
strongest advocates of economy :,
retrenchment, and call themselves the
''watchdogs Of the treasury. '-Balt1-

spirits. Thus, one Of her best known
roles is that of Marie Antoinette. "A
sly skeptic carelessly passed her a
cigarette while she was acting the part
of the former queen. She took it
quite naturally and smoked until the
skeptic reminded her that Marie An
toinette probably never heard of such
thing as a cigarette. Thereafter she
never smoked while taking that role. "
Another of her accomplishments is
to play the part of an inhabitant of
Mars, and, as such, she has reproduced
several characters which she declares
to be letters of the Marian alphabet.
"This was very ingenious" said Prof.
Jastrow, and caused much wonder
ment until it was discovered that this
Marian language was based upon
the French syntax. French happens
to be the only language that she
knows. 1t seems a good deal more
likely that she invented the Marian
alphabet than to believe that the in
habitants of Mars, if any, have the
same syntax as the French
