THE CASE OF WILDROSE

The other day the state news edi-
tor of the Forum wrote to the clerk OF
the Wildrose school board one of his
customary "followup letters" The
Forums state news department had
carried a brief item about a new
school building for the Wildrose dis
trict, and wrote for further informa-
ton as to size, cost and other details
and asked for an architects drawing
of the building.
Back came the answer brief but to
'No building this year. We
cannot get the money from the
state, although the bonds were
sold over a year ago."
There is the whole case against the
present administrations financial pol
icies. A school district bonds itself to
erect a new school; it sells the bonds
and puts the money in the Bank of
North Dakota; it is used to build flour
mills or houses for William Lemke,
and when the school district wants to
use it, it isn't there.
That's why the farmers can't cash
hail warrants; that's why teachers
salaries are unpaid; that's why the
state bonds can't be sold through the
regular channels; that's what is the
matter with the states credit

What more severe sentence could be
imposed on boy than to tell him that
he cannot go near his favorite SWIM
ming hole for the remainder of the
season? That was the fine imposed
by Justice C. A. label on group of
boys who got into mischief at the
Chautauqua park. A 81 fine was also
levied. It may seem like severe SEN
tence, but it will surely serve as a
good lesson for the boys. Some Of
them, it is said, have been in mis-
chief before. Such sentence may act
as a barrier to criminal life to some
of those small boys. By imposing such
a sentence on a boy, it will serve as
a lesson to show him how strong the
law really is, and what such esca-
pades as the one in the park when
they stole some cake and other food
will lead him into. Many of the little
fellows will not care to come into ju
venile court again. They have had
enough of it, and when they pay their
fine and stay away from the park for
the remainder of the season. they will
have had enough of "criminal" work
to suit the most of them. Such SEN
tence as was imposed by the Judge we
believe to be the best thing that could
have happened to those boys. If they
had gone unsentenced, with merely
talking to, most of them would have
perhaps been willing to try the same
thing over again. Some of them have
been in mischief before. and have been
let off with a reprimand. It will serve
as good lesson for them.

Don't be a Stacker about signing
those recall petitions. We are going
to have the recall and the sooner the
signatures are secured the better and
the sooner we end this day of political
and economical uncertainty the better
it will be for the state. Let US put up
united front to the enemy-you can
rest assured that the enemy will put
a united front against the forces OF
good government.
That substantial decrease in the
price of shoes may be looked for is the
promise Of the federal trade commits

house of representatives. The COM
mission lays the blame for the high

the tanners, shoe manufacturers:
wholesalers, jobbers and retailers.
claiming that their earnings are out
of proportion to the increase in their
cost per unit. The commission claims
that the so-called "buyer's strike" in
1920 halted the advance in the price
of shoes. The commission claims that
the present price of hides and skins
and the conditions existing in these
phases of industry justify an expecta-
ton of still further declines in the
quoted prices Of leather and shoes.
The report of the commission will
mean much to the buying public, II it
has any effect in bringing the prices
of shoes down to a level with the pre-
vailing prices Of hides.
Kate Richards O'Hare is back in the
state, attending picnics and sowing
the seeds of discomfort as she lectures
at various league gatherings. Kate
is the person who said that our Amer
lean soldiers were the ofsprings of
"brood sows" and she is going around
spreading similar doctrine only not
quite so rank. We presume that a
series of social functions will be given
for her at the executive mansion in
Bismarck as the governor on previous
occasions of her visit to the state went
out of the way to entertain her. She
should be given the same dose that
Emma Goldman got-deportation. We
have no room for Kate or like ilk in
this country. Emma is reported to
have had a change of heart about this
country since she got back to soviet
Russia. She is reported to have made
the statement that she "would rather
be in jail in America under the flag of
this country than to be free in Rus
sia." Her change of heart comes too
late. She is better where she is
breathing the rancid air of anarchy
and destruction which she preached so
enthusiastically before she was de-
ported from this country.

PUBLISHING NAMES

In a final and desperate effort to
hang on to comfortable living and a
little for rainy day via the state
treasury of North Dakota Frazier
Lemke-Hagan gang and other leaders
of the nonpartisan league are publish
ing the names of people who, signed
the initiated laws petitions that were
filled by the I. V. A. in March. Evil
IDENTIFY they expect to scare lot of In
dependents and particularly Nonpar-
tisans who have made up their minds
that they are not going to be party
to keeping men in public Office who de-
liberately misuse public money and
abuse confidence. When entering upon
this course the leaders of the league
are not reckoning with the spirit of
the people of North Dakota. The
average North Dakotan cannot be
driven into submission by any form
of threat or bluff.
An average majority of more than
10000 of the voters of North Dakota
voted against the nonpartisan lead
ers on the laws that were up for a vote
last fall. Frazier would have been
defeated by the same majority if he
had not ridden on President Hard
ing's coat tail. From this it is easy
to see that to have ones name printed
as one Of those who worked and voted
for a cleanup and financial relief for
our state government is not only to
be classed with the majority, but with
principles that he or she never need
be ashamed of having supported. Ev-
cry person whose name is published as
that of signer of the recall petitions
should deem it an honor to have the
files of the public press of today re-
cord that fact so the men and women
of tomorrow and of the next genera
ton may see where their mothers,
fathers, brothers and sisters were lin
ed up in the closing days of one of the
most spectacular political contests
that the United States has ever seen.

EDITORIAL


The nonpartisans are raising from
$50 to $500 per township for the state
campaign fund. There are over two
thousand townships in the state. In
addition to this the National Nonpar-
tisan League has assessed all affili-
ated states twelve of them) $4,000
each. Figure it up and see what the
I. V. A. forces will have to match a
campaign fund of that sort. Then
our N. P. friends stand around on the
corner and howl big business until
they are blue in the face.
The delegates to the U. c. T. con-
vention at Virginia, Mimi, went on
record strongly against hotel proprle-
tors for keeping the price Of eats up
when the price of everything IN the
eatable line was coming down. There
is justification in the complaint. Ho-
tells and restaurants are keeping up
the price of meals to war time prices
in the face of the fact that all kinds
of groceries, cereals, meats and other
eatables have been coming down. If
a profit was made while prices were
at the peak, surely a greater profit
is being made now that things have
come down. There should be con-
cession from these people just the
same as from other lines of business.
The acquittal of Policeman Jensen
by the jury last Saturday evening
after being in the jury box only five
hours, will be greeted with approval
by all law abiding citizens. 1t is a
victory for clean government against
rowdyism and debauchery. We will
leave out the question of whether or
not Mr.. Jensen was fitted for the job
on account of his temperament, many
people saying that he was not, the fact
remains that he was in the exercise
of his duties as an officer of this city
and was set upon by bunch OF fei-
lows who had been drinking and in the
unfortunate melee which occurred, a
young man lost his life. No greater
truth was told than that made by At
torney Paulson, in summing up the
case before the jury, when he said the
jury was being called upon to try
the wrong man. That is the general
verdict of great majority of the peo-
pie who are conversant with the facts.
Had the verdict been for conviction
it would have been staggering blow
against law and order in this city and
would have given those who seem to
revel in like escapades a chance to 60
out in the future and pull off their
rough stuff because nothing would be
done to them. Judge Englert in con-
graduating the jury upon the verdict
rendered said he would have been
greatly disappointed had the jury
done otherwise. The Times Record
congratulates every member of that
jury for his courage in settling that
case right.

TRUTHFUL ADVERTISING

The dominant note Of the State
Town Criers convention at Mandan
will be "what can we do collectively
to establish the confidence of our own
communities and the entire country in
our advertising?" This principle is
referred to by big advertisers as
"reader confidence" 1t els certainly
worth establishing and maintaining.
Large institutions have spent i'm
mense sums of money in carefully
censored copy to create a confidence
on the part of buyers for all state
ments published over their, signature.
1t now devolyes upon the Associated
AID Clubs of North Dakota to proclaim
to the country at large that those who
attempt to "stretch the truth" in this
state will be prosecuted to the last
ditch. This does not mean persecu-
ton, because the attitude of the AS
ISOLATED Advertising Clubs of the
World has been to notify offenders
and to withhold action if satisfactory
assurances are given as to future
rectitude. Nothing is gained by pun
ishing the guilty unless it is needed
as an object lesson. Practically every
advertiser in America who has failed
to abide by the warnings of the asso-
citation has been fought in the courts
and convicted. The expense does not
devolve on the city or club making
the complaint as the International as
sociation assumes all legal costs and
furnishes the best legal talent to sue
cessfully prosecute all classes.
The Times-Record joins with the
conscientious merchants of the coun-
try hoping that the day is near at
hand when any person: firm or corpor-
alton, who or which, attempts to Sc
cure business by INSCRIPTIONS adver-
Using methods will be prosecuted to
the full extent Of the law.
Since the advent of the rural mail
service it has been the desire of those
who live remote from the prominent
shopping centers to "order via. Uncle
Sam" and receive the same satisfac-
ton as if they examined the mer-
chandise in person but if the practice
of exaggerating in advertising copy
is not curbed this source of revenue
for the honest merchant is hampered.
Let US take a lesson from those who
spend thousands on this subject and
"clean up" all North Dakota copy
whether it is our own or somebody
elses.

The Butte Daily Bulletin is dead
and DER it's grave no mourner weeps.
1t preached destruction and it died
by it's own hands. The seed it sowed
in Butte brought forth unrest, unem-
ployment and want. The Bulletin
starved to death in its own home,
where it had invited the wolf Of hum
ger and despair to make it's abode.
To be mourned newspaper, like a
man, must have accomplished some
good in the world; must at least have
been kind and considerate if only to
a few. The Bulletin was a lying, IL
being, scandal monger. 1t tried to
see how mean, cruel, daring, unthink-
ing and unfeeling it could be. 1t toss
ed it's redstained harpoons at "capital-
lists" one day and the next it raved
about the "wage slaves" who failed to
heed it's call and seize the mines of

march on to the abyss Of national
upheaval. Its editor was guntoting
carpetbagger, convicted of sedition
and turned loose on technicality
through the mistaken kindness Of
jurist. Its business manager was con-
victed of sedition. Its former circu-
lation manager was fugitive from
justice, suspected of being a porch
climber and stickup man. It's god
Big Bill Haywood of the I. w. W.
is in Russia: not only fugitive from
justice, but an embezzler Of the funds
of the comrades. Townley, who back
ed it for time, is under sentence for
conspiring to hinder the draft, and his
sentence affirmed. The only thing
which the Butte Bulletin set out to ac-
complish has been realized. It wanted
the mines closed down that the miners
would be out of work and desperate.
If the miners were desperate for food
and their families in want, the Bulle-
tin figured, the crisis would come. The
miners might be driven by it's abuse
and by it's rawlings to commit acts of
violence and actually seize the pri-
vate property. At one time the Bull
letin thought the hour had come. It
worked itself into frenzy over the
fact that the school buildings were
crowded and it played up the little
children without seats in school. Then
one day it demanded the seizure of the

men Of Butte. They appealed for out
side help. From Helena 120 working
men sent subscriptions and contribu-
tons. But about half the union la
borers in Helena, under the DONNA
tion of Taylor. Anderson and Halberg,
have no money to send. They were
compelled to cease their contributions
to their paper over in Butte, as were
the workers in many other cities
where Dunn's agents have kept them
on strike all summer. But as we said:
The Bulletin is dead. Obscurity for
it's promoters. hackers, editors and its
many misdeeds will be enough. If by

remembered or forgotten, decent men

service that would be hard to over
rate. But the point that Mr.. Cabot over
looks completely is tina. English freight
rates measured on any basis which has
been devised either by practical rail
road men, college professors or advo-
Gates of government ownership, were
far higher than the highest in the
United States. New England rates have
been and are now comparatively lower
than freight rates IL the rest Of the
country.
Nj. Cabot accepts as UNDERSTANDABLE
the theory that New Englard's indus
trial life is completely dependent on
low transportation rates. He may be
right. It has been accepted as an
axiom by nearly every one who has
situation, but it is worth while PLAYING
Eirstein to New England's classic
axiom and questioning the fact.
From the New England manufac-
turers point of view transportation
rates act in two ways as a burden.
First, as an added cost to materials ne
assemblies for manufacture; second, as
an added Charge he must make TO buy
ers on the finished product represent
ing the cost of trans portatlon from the
manufacturing plant to the point Of
consumption. Coal bulks are by far
the largest single item in the first elias
sfcation, and on this essential of
manufacture transportation costs play
a most important part. Coal that cost
50 a ton at the mine in West Virginia
cost the manufacturer, delivered at
Brockton, from SIS to Sc ton at pre-
war prices. Both the price at the mine
and the TRANSFORMATION are higher now
The proportion OF the cost of the
finished article represented by the
manufacturers fuel bill varies widely
as between different industries. 1t is
small indeed on pair of Mr.. Douglass
snoes or on Ny Ingersoll's once-upon-
considerably higher a yard on cotton
or WOODEN goods. AT any rate. it is

Motor Industry Speeding Over
Rough Spots Of Summer Dizziness

IS confident the company can maintain
this output during the rest Of the year.
The Chevrolet Comrany's plant at
Flint has been running nights and Sun
days for sixty days to supply the de-
mand, and the big plant Of the Buick
at Flint has been making and selling
500 cars a day. Many more large and
small plants in Michigan and else
where are doing as well.
In other words, the motor industry
has regained its poise in an orderlv
fashion and is to-day going ahead
faster than any other large Industry
According 70 the Industrial survey of
the Department. of Labor, just issued.
Detroit has added 81 per cent to the
number Of those employed, as com
pared with an average decline of i
per cent IN the sixty-fve large indus

the autom obile industry is doing for
Detroit, while manufacturing generally
IS going back or marking time.
