NORTH DAKOTA BUSINESS.

Whine business in North Dakota, or anywhere else. can
scarcely said to be tlourahtnE, the general business con
diton Of North Dakota Is sound. That fact has been
stated BY a good many people who are familiar with the
conditions. Despite Of the general depression through
which Ill bushes has been passing. there have been fewer
failures tn North Dakota than in most other states. The
business of tho past few months has not been large. but
it has besn safe.
Information brought to the local meeting Of the
credit men from all sections corrob9fates similar state
ndents formerly made. The business men Of the state
have acted on the understanding that for the time being
It would be necessary to proceed cautiously, and to make
a little money perform as much work as possible BY
changing hands frequently. and in this way performing
the functions OF = much larger sum handled on the basis
OF long time credits and less careful purchasing. The
men in charge Of credits for the larger business instttu-
tons with which our people are dealing constantly have
played their parts with prudence and with a realization
OF the conditions which exist.
With tho business Of the state in the condition which
1t is today there are two main things needed to complete
the return to normal. First. there is needed = 6enonstra-
don on the part Of the people IN general that they stand
ready to cooperate in the restoration Of credit by repu-
dating the vicious elements which have attached them

government, to the whole financial structure Of the state.
Second, we need a year Of good crops. in which every
acre that can be cultivated shall be made to produce its
utmost
With these two things North Dakota will again take
the place which belongs to it. The first Of these is Who'll
~ within the control Of our people. The second is sub

tho bottom Of it all must be the determination to get
down to business and make the very most Of every op-
portunity that we have.

PRINTING THE NAMES.

Thare IS some discussion just now as to the publica-
ton Of the names signed to recall petitions. An article
calling for the publication Of these names has been 60
ting tho rounds Of the Towniey papers, and the Grafton
Record. an Independent paper. accepts the challenge
and 0ys that BY al means the names should be printed.
THE original suggestion was made, of course, as a means
fe< dstsartns persons from asnine petitions through fear
saf bo1cott or other disciplinary measures such as have
bean wssd b. Townley and used by not a few OF his fol
1owan The Record well says that IT any one is deferred
from SIGNING . recall petition from tear he is such 4
tr1sSen coward N 10 be Of little benefit to himself or his
seo@mutty"
The RAoeed has the correct idea. The man who il
x6ah to stand Up and be counted cuts very little figure
anywhere There Is no good reason why the man who
desires tho recall, or the initiation OF a law, or anything
ebe Of public nature, should not make that fact known.
There is at present no legal provision for the publ
cation Of lists OF names Of this character. The filing
OF The list is Of itself. of course, a form Of publication, as
when such a list is filed it becomes open for inspection
by all who care to examine it. But the filing of a list
in Bismarck does not convey Information to the state
Neither does 1t appear that any good purpose would be
names attached to statewide petitions. To be effective
= aate recall petition must be signed by more than So
600 persons The names of only a small fraction of
that number of signers would be known to the people
Of any given community Hence the general publication
Of the entire list would be A mere waste OF paper and ink
The publication in the Official papers Of the names of
sisners living in those counties would convey real infor-
nation. and would be a means Of checking up on the
validity OF signatures. But, as stated. there is no legis-
lation providing for such publication.

REVIEWING THE pEbs CASE.

Acting on numerous petitions received. President
Hr6ine has asked Attorney General Dangherty to re.
view the teets IN the Debsacasa. Such a review was un-
dertaksn a short dime ago by the late administration. and
denied. The review now to be undertaken may be inter
to farniliarize itse'f at first hand with the facts in ordsr
shat intelligent action may be taken on renewed requeSts
for c2en,cncy.
There are several things in connection with the Debs
case which will need very little investigation, Debs
was charged with the commission Of certain acts. He
made no denial. On the contrary, he admitted having
made the statements attributed to him. and in court de-
clared himself to be of the same opinion still. At no
time has he %fetraeted anything or sought to evade The
issue. He was opposed to American participation in the
war, and after this country had become 4 party to the
war he continued to write and speak against it, doins all
In his power. to discourage enlistnents in the army and
other measures intended to facilitate the military opera.
lions Of the country.
These facts are undisputed. The only question on
which there could be any debate was whether or not the
acts which Debs had committed, which he admitted. and
which he said he was glad to have committed. were IN
violation Of the laws Of the United states. The jury to
could not hold otherwise-that Debs had acted as
charged. The court held that such acts were criminal.
Therefore Debs was formally convicted And sentenced,
and he is now serving out his term Of imprisonment.
II. on further investigation, it Is found that such acts
as those Of Debs are lawful. then Dets ought to be re-
leased, with apologies. In that case we are reduced to
the condition OF having no government 1T all, for the gov
ernraent which cannot defend itself against the treason
able acts Of its own citizens Is no government at all.
Unless It is decided that the thing which we call gov
eminent is a sham and a myth. Debs Is lawfully i'm
prisoned. II the government. having asserted It's right,
chooses to show mercy TO an offender. that is a different
matter.

ENGLISH.

Tho language OF every president is closely inspected
Is to form, and presidential lapses from accepted usage
invariably precipitate controversy. Such lapses are Sc
vere1y condemned on the one hand on the ground that
a president of the United States ought to be scrupulously
careful in his use Of language, because in language as in
department he is expected to set an example to those Of
lesser station. On the other hand such departures from
the ordinary are defended by some. and treated as II the
use Of them by a president establishes them as forms to
be accepted.
Just now a rather mild controversy is in progress
over the splitting Of an -iefinitve by PRECEDENT Harding,
and the customary two diverse interpretations are given.
OF course Mr.. Harding is not the first president to take
liberties with the language of his country. We do not
recall q case in which Mr.. Wilson split an infinitive. but
he did once say: 1T is me-" which is as bad, or worse.
Roosevelt was conspicuous for his indifference to the
inftninve. He would split it or swallow it whole, which
ever was the more convenient.
Mr.. Hardings English is not that Of the sch olar,

NOr AT ALL STRANGE.

The taots concerning the alleged ernbezzlenent OF
funds from the Scandinavian American Bank OF Fargo
by q tenAr tn its employ are obscure up to date. Those
who have information on the subject seem reluctant to
wondering.
Whether the charge made against the hate teller Of
the bank Is we'll founded or not, the history Of the bank
is such that there is no element Of stranseness in a charge
Of this kind in connection with its activities. The bank
was a small institution, doing a sort Of hand-to-mouth
business. when it was selected by Mr.. Townley as some
thing which he might use in, his business. He had a good
many other things in the way of business institutions.
There vas the Consumers Stores company, which had
made delivery Of a good many thousands for "education-
AL purposes There were the various newspaper enter
ed notes agEresating a good many more thousands. and
all these were made TO pay tribute to the general organ
lzation. There were a number of smaller subsidiary en-
terprises. all OF which brought some money to the pot.
But Mr.. Townley needed a bank. and with the assistance
Of Mr.. castings and a few others, he bought one The
bank was used TOR tho purpose tor which it was obtained,
namely. the handling Of paper collected in the proeecu-
ton Of the various other Townley enter prises. A lot Of
the paper On which good money belonging to the depos-

to be worthless. Jim Waters has told some things about
