ALIENS HAVEN0
RIGHT TO VOICE
Connecticut Court Holds They
Can Not Lawfully Advocate. /.
Change in Government,

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Aug. 1S.-In
upholding the Connecticut anti-sedi-
ton law, the supreme court of errors
has ruled that aliens have no rights
under the state bill of rights, in any
attempts tochange the form of gov
ernment.
In defending two men charged with
circulating scurrilous literature at
tacking the government, attorneys
claimed that the accused were within
the bill of rights, which declares that
all political power lis inherent in the
people and all free governments are
founded on their authority"
The court held that the contention
was inapplicable, as the defendants
are aliens.
Aliens" the court said, "have no
constitutional rights to share in the
privileges and responsibility of at
tempting to change our laws or forms
of government, hence they have no
right, under cover of being engaged
In good faith to accomplish those
ends, to engage in scurrilous or an
archist1c propaganda which has been
declared by the general assembly to
be dangerous to the public welfare. -

Warning to America on l!lI- -.
gitimate Use Of Gold.

WILL1AMsTOWN, Mass, Aug. 1s.
In an address at Williams college
Viscount James Bryce said money can
exercise as much illigitimate influence
in democracies as elsewhere.
In some of them," he said, 1T can
buy the press, perhaps also section
Of the legislators. Where the standard
Of public virtue is high those who
want to get something from a govern
ment will seek not to bribe, but will,
to use a current expression, try to get
at the press while also seeking to
induce influential constituents to put
pressure on their members to put
pressure on ministers, the object in
view being represented as public in
terest, whereas. it is really the inter-
est of small group. When the stand
ard Of public virtue is low the group
will approach ithe private secretaries
of a minister, or even minister
himself. e..
There are upright men valuable
to a nation in high influence as in
other professions. They have their
sphere of action necessary to the
world. But wherever large transac-
tions involving governments arise the
danger, signal for watchfulness should
be raised" .

Langdon. North Dakota,

Editor Farmers Press:-
The Republicans last comment en-
titled Excuses don't go" seems to
call for a few more remarks from me
What | wrote about the omission was
hardly meant as an absolute excuse,
knowing as l did that l would not be
believed by some people as they as a
rule judge others by themselves it
appeared more as a reflection over
where the Republican got the infor-
nation that I would rectify, Besides,
regardless of the omission my writ
ings shows that I had no absolute
faith in the ~yeracity of the charges
and if it is a lie it is not of my make
I had it from what I considered fair
ly reliable authority.
The Republican still insists that |
haye been writing abont the business
men of Langdon, we'll it is no use to
argue with those who wont use reason
I can only refer to my first article in
the Farmers Press and let people
judge for themselves who is the
"plain liar" in this case as to being
"feeble minded is a thing I shall
not attempt to deny as 1 think most
of us are more or less 80 but I v
was crazy enough to believe that 1
was exceptionally bright.
That my writing appear childish in
the eyes of an expert I do not wonder
at, but to expect that an old rube
with a very limited education should
be able to compose anything that
conld compare with what a profess
sional public writer who was consi-
dered educated enough to serve as
Sup't Of schools for a. number of
years could produce is no sign of a
great amount of sanity.
However the Republican showed
fairness by printing my communica-
tion and they also did print it just as
it was written a compliment l can not
give the Farmers Press as in an at
tempt to improve it they in my opin-
ion made it worse, especially was the
rime in the little ditty at the close
done away.
Well! l hope this in the last Of
this dirty controversy-at least as
far as | am concerned as / have
neither time ability or inclination for
this kind of mud Singing.
Respectfully,

COMMUNICATION.
Editor of the Farmers Press:

Editor of the Farmers Press:
Verify. Verify the Lord has de-
livered the Philjstines into our hands
The one.penny politicians are Boosting
that they have got u scalp and we
predict that they will find that they
have only got a handful of our hair
while we trot off with our scalp in
tact.
On the 18th of March, last winter
we were going to the Republican
office when one of the Green brothers
across the street called US into his
place of business and started to talk
with US and OH our heels 30 to speak
a bunch of L. ". AS. piled in and
the talk led to politics. In our de-
fence of the League we mentioned
the common talk about the COW deal
at Wales. When we were ready to go
out of the shop one of the party
chaIged US with a statement about
the cow deal that we had not made
and we denied it right before the
crowd and stated what we had said
and then went out.
The next day we got a letter from
Mr.. Johnston, Of Wales threatening
US with a suit, We wrote to him by
return mail and offered to retract
anything that we had said that re.
fected on his integrity.
Two or three weeks later we hap
pened to go into Attorney Grimson's
office and he aaid that he had a re.
traction for me to Sign. ] looked it
over and saw that it was more. 1t
was a beautiful whitewash for the
whole crowd and they probably need
it. | told Mr. Johnston that if sign
ed it | would have to correct
some inaccuracies in the ~retraction
and to this he agreed. Some time
latter Mr.. johnson came to my home
and asked me to go down to Attorney
Grimsons office when l got there Mr..
Crimson handed me the %retraction. |
glanced it over and told Mr.. johnson
that / would have to make some ex-
PLANTATION about the %retraction. To
this he agreed and added could
make any explanation about the re-
traction that | wanted. asked him
if he was satisfied and he said yes.
We shook hands and | got the letter
that ! had written to Mr.. johnson it
being the letter | wrote to him after
he had threatened to sue me for libel
This II a truthful statement of the

Only q small percentage of lot owners
paid anything toward the work last
season and as a result the treasury is
running low. More than ever is it
necessary that u cemeteries be kept

soldier dead are now being laid to

careless and Indifferent TO the great
sacrifice made by them if we do not
willingly subscribe the small amount
necessary to assure the keeping of
their last resting place in the best
possible manner / am sure that all
that is necessary ia to call the atten,
ton of the lot owners to the need for
money and it will be forthcoming. 1t
will require at least So 90 for a full

to carry on the work of the season.

The state of North Dakota is be-

The state of North Dakota is be-
ginning an advertising campaign in
the various money centers in the
effort to sell So, 600. 900 of bonds,
exempt from national income tax,
and backed with the entire wealth of
North Dakota. amounting to more
than ST., 500, 600, 600 These bonds are
absolutely good, but financial gentle
men do not buy them, tempting as
they are with their income tax free
feature, because North Dakota, most
impertinently, governs herself in her
own way. They want to teach the
North Dakota gentlemen a lesson.
A suggestion is now made in the
friendly manner to the financial peo-
pie. Look out, while you are teaching
North Dakota a lesson, that North
Dakota dosen't teach you a lesson.
What you gentleman hate, as you
have often said is propaganda. North
Dakota is rich enough to make very
interesting propaganda in every big
financial center, in the form of full
page advertisements. If the state
should go in to the different cities
and show how beginning with the
federal reserve bank and ruling all
the way down financial institutions
have been taking from $50 to 300
per cent profit that propaganda
might not be welcome,
The North Dakota experiment is a
good experiment a legitimate expert
ment. A group of men in the state,
acting legally thru the ballot, have a
right to manage themselves as they
choose. They even have a right, hor-
rible as it may sound to establish a
state bank and to establish state
grain elevators. 1t is friendly advice
to financial gentleman when they are
told to let No tn Dakota far, away,
work this. thing cut peaceably and
quietly. Don't stir up trouble, by
making it clear that you are boycott
ing a state simply because it pre-
sumes to govern itself ia accordance
with the wishes of its citizens. There
is power in a sovereign state, its two
senators, its public opinion. From
