Such forebodings seem to us illog.
ical, and contrary to facts and reason,
If the ascending spiral (of rising
prices and wages) was bad, as we all
agreed tive all" agreed to no such
thing) the descending spiril (of fall
ing prices and wages) must at least
be potentially good. But that is not it's
fault, but the fault of those who ma
nipulate it-or permit it to be manip-
ulated-improperly. If the lowering
of prices and the lowering Of wages
proceed in proper order and just ratio,
the workman will be just as well off
as before; his lower wages will en-
able him to buy at commensurately
lowered prices just as much as before,
and demand will remain undimished."
After reading. the above gem of
editorial logic in "Harvey's Weekly"
of January Is, we felt like making the
same request of the great plutocratic
apologist as Byron once made Of COL
eridge, to please "explain his explain
ation."
For if it was logical to expect evil
from rising prices and wages why,
in the name of ordinary common sense
it is logical to say that falling prices
and wages cannot bring good, since
it is simply the same economic process
reversed?
If there was no telling where high
prices and wages would stop, how is
there any telling where low prices and
wages will end? One thing is certain;
The last process has already block
AIDED the credit of the Union.
But if the workman will be enabled
to buy at lowered prices just as much
as BEFORE" why spread bankruptcy,
misery and ruin thruout the land just
for the sake Of buying with SOC what
yesterday cost $3.50? Who gains?
Well, we have a bunch that it is the
Profiteers, the same little group who
yesterday robbed the nations on ris-
ing prices and wages who today will
benefit by falling prices and wages.
They manipulate" the machine. They
alone will benefit

A SAVING BANK

But for the Bank of North Dakota
it is now known that hundreds of.
banks would have gone down in the
panic precipitated by the I. V. A. in
itiated laws.
Not only is this true, but it is also
known that the funds Of thousands of
depositors would have been tied up
for years while these banks, the great
majority of which were solvent, ere
being liquidated but for the action
taken by the Industrial Commission
and Director General Cathro. TN
It is because Frazier, Lemke, Hagan
and Cathro had the nerve to face Wall
street four-square and prevent the run
engineered by the Inner Circle of the
I. v. A. on the Bank Of North Dako-
ia, that Big Business is now secretely
working toward a recall Of the farm
err labor administration.
If the Bank of North Dakota were
not a. peoples bank, if it chose to pur-
sue the so-called business methods OF
high finance, it could call it's loans
dIlu uCpOSlCS IOIIlOILOW, pay I'LL OH -
owes and have a handsome balance on
the credit side of it's ledger.
But in doing this it would put thous.
ands of families on the public road
and that is what it's management has
~steadfastly refused to do. None Of its
officers have any personal interest II
bankrupting their fellow citizens, ane
it is because they have exalted thu
common welfare over the rights" o.
special privilege that they r being
SO bitterly attacked today by the per
jurers Of the Kept Press.
No report that the hirelings Of Ian
ger Hall and Kositzky can make o.
it will change the fact that the Banl
Of North Dakota is now the stronges
and most solvent bank in the North
west, IL not in the entire Nation.
That is the truth, acknowledged b,
all, even by It's enemies. It has saye'

were lining up the Nebraska and Kan
sas farmers into the League by the
hundreds. The business gang who tried
to stead the American Legion with
which to work their crooked politics
is wild and has imported the League
traitors, LANCER and Brinton, to "tell
the truth about North Dakota" but
it is predicted that by the time Cap
tain Mallon, who is one Of General
Pershing's one hundred heroes, gets
thru with LANCER he will wish he had
gone to Jimtown instead Of to Kan
sas.

FREE LOVE AGAIN


Cavalier County, The Courier-N News
publishes today in it's Mailbag a com.
munication that should be read by all
and especially by mothers and fathers
During the recent campaign-and the
charges are still being made in states
in which the League is doing organ
ization work-the farmers. and their
wives were again and again assailed
by their opponents as belonging to
an organization that stands for free
love.
1t So happens that in no part Of the
state were these charges so frequently
made or pressed with such bitterness
as in the northeast part of the state,
Perhaps this is due to the fact that
in St Thomas lives one 1. V. A. whited
-sepulchre, Rev. Birchenough, and in
Devils Lake another, Rev. Walker.
These divines, who gave themselves
to the lowest and most degrading
of political prostitution, were particul-
larly active in pressing the charges of
free love against the -Nonpartisan
League.
In the county just west of st. Thorn
as and just north of Devils Lake, is
the little town of Langdon, the coun-
ty seat. The population Of that town
is but little over 1000. From that lit
tie town, according to Miss Lillian
Grace Topping, superintendent of the
Florence Crittendon home in Fargo,
four delinquent girls have been re-
ceived within the past month. The case
which appealed to Miss Topping as
so serious as to require the calling of
a general town meeting was that of
a girl Of only 16, involving 28 men
and boys of the town.
Our correspondent asserts, in a per-
sonal letter, and not one of the 20 is
a Nonpartisan Lacquer. That does
not demonstrate that all Leaguers are
guiltless. No Lacquer would claim
that the lives of all members are with
out moral blemish. It is merely a for
tunate circumstance that no Lacquer
was involved in the crimes committed
upon that Langdon girl.
And surely no Lacquer would think
of making political capital out of such
a revolving state of affairs as has
been shown in this little town. It was
not the League that raised the issue
of free love; it was the I. V. A. It is
surely not out of the way, however,
for the Nonpartisan League daily to
point out that here is one more in
stance added to the exposure already
made of the private immortality of
the leaders of the I. v. A., of the ut
terly shameless hypocrisy of the po-
litical hyenas who, for the sake of Of
flee, brought the wholesale charge of
free love against the farmers and the
farmers wives of this state.
When Rev. Bircheneugh OF Rev.
Walker or any other of the reverend
servitors of the gamblers and Wall
Street again attack the morals of the
members of the Nonpartisan League,
it will surely not be out Of order to
remind them that if they will attend
to the cleansing of the morals of the
I. v. A. in the small towns in their
own neighborhood, the farmers will
take care of themselves.-The Courier
News.

BRYAN Ordinances Prarding
Municipal Coal Yard and
Public Market Killed By
.Zehrung and Wright.

Lincoln, Neb.. Aug. 8. - Especial
Telegram. Lincoln city commits
sioners today voted down the Bryan
ordinances calling for appropriations
of $4,000 for establishment OF a pub
lie market and a municipal coal yard.
at means that recall and referen-
dunn petitions will be circulated I'M
mediately." Brother Charley" Bryan,
city commissioner and the only
member who voted for the ordinance
said tonight.
Recall petitions against Mayor
Frank c. Zehrung and City COM
missioner John Wright were printed
several weeks ago, but were withheld
from circulation on the plea Of
friends OF Zehrung and Wright, who
stated that there had been no test to
determine whether they were for or
against municipal ownership. Bryan
the municipal ownership
ordinances Immediately and Zehrung
and Wright voted against them.
At the same time the recall peti-
tons are circulated, referendum petit
tions will be sent out for signatures
calling for the $4,000 appropriations
for the municipal projects.
In the recall petitions Zehrung and
Wright are charged with violating
the spirit of the law by putting Zeh-
rung in the mayors chair after a
campaign in which both Zehrung and
Bryan were candidates for mayor.
Bryan ran on a municipal coal yard,
ice plant and a public market plat
form. Bryan received the largest
number of votes but nevertheless
the city commissioners selected Zeh-
rung for mayor.
The Bryan faction has dropped the
ice plant plan as two weeks
ago the Beatrice Creamery company,
sole distributors of ice in Lincoln,
announced that hereafter it would
sell ice as cheaply as the municipal
ice plant in Omaha and establish
cash and carry stations here.

referendum petitions probably de-

cratic ticket next wear,

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 8.-Finally
deciding to follow the unique advice
of his downs state counsel, Governor
Len Small "fopped' again today in
his game of hide and seek with the
law and announced that as chief ex-
ecutive Of the state he is immune
from arrest during his term of
Office. 1t was only last Tuesday
night, in a speech at Danville. that
the governor publicly stated he
would gladly submit to arrest on the
indictments charging him with EN-
bezzling $500,000 in state funds and
conspiracy to defraud the state of
$2,000,000 in any county in the state
with the exception of Sangamon.
Today. during conversation with
Sheriff Henry Mester, in which the
sheriff attempted to arrange the
matter of the governors arrest in
an amicable manner. Governor Small
read him an opinion drafted by his
counsel, which implies the governor
will not submit to the courts any
where in the state as long as he is
governor.
After slipping quietly into Spring
field by motor from Kankakee one
day ahead of his promised arrival.
Governor Small appeared at his Office
in the state house shortly after 9 this
morning and Immediately announced
a number of important state appoin-
tees.
1t was not until some time later
that Sheriff Mester and States Attor-
ney c. F. Mortimer learned OF the
governors return to Springfield. A
conference\was held at which it was
decided to make one more amicable
overture to the governor before re-
sorting to physical fore to carry out
the courts orders. Sheriff Mester
walked to the capitol shortly after
3. He did not take the warrants with
him. ..
The sheriff walked back to the
court house and reported the COVER
nor's attitude to States Attorney
Mortimer. After a brief conference
the states attorney announced to
newspaper men here would be no
further action taken today as Sheriff
Mester had given the governor that
assurance and no attempt would be
made to violate it. He intimated that
he might make public statement to-

confessed at noon today to officials
at Bonneville that she shot and killed
her. Her headless body was found
in the woods last week.
According to the story which Viii
lie told Coroner Kriekause, he and
his mother were walking through rhe
woods in search OF some squirrels
when the hammer of his gun struck
against tree and discharged shot
through his mothers back.
Mrs. Deffendoll, wounded, fell
down on her side. Then she turned
over on her face, according to- the
story drawn from Willie.
Il didn't want her to suffer- Will
lie said, so up and shot her again.
That did not kill her, so l shot her
again in the neck"
Willie hurried to his home and
then took refuge in Bonneville. He
set the date of the shooting as Fri
day, July %.
According to Willie's confession
he had had an argument with his
mother on the day before the shoot
ing because he had returned from
Bonneville without job. She fused

Willie's confession clears up the
mystery as to who shot Mrs. Deffen-

Touvelle Gives History

Lincoln, Aug. 8.-(Special )-Sena-
tor Walter V. Hoagland OF North
Platte was dragged under the pub
lies searchlight today in the investi-
CATION by the state bureau of securi-
ties into the history of stock selling
enterprises in Nebraska which have
resulted in numerous failures and
which have caused the loss of mill
lions of dollars to Nebraska citizens.
Hoagland, officers in the bureau
stated today, had done more in his
official capacity as state senator in
the last two sessions OF the legisla-
ture to cripple the alleged attempt OF
the state administration to check wild
stock selling schemes than anyone
else.
Immediately after the induction of
the present administration it was
realized thta wildcat stock selling
schemes born under the Neville adj
ministration were running riot in
Nebraska and the administration
went before the legislature with an
alright blue sky law which would
have checked these schemes" Guy
Touvelle, head Of the state bureau
of securities, said today.
Hoagland Fought Bill.
ain the legislature we ran atoul
OF Walter Hoagland, who insisted and
succeeded in 1919 in getting certain
amendments to the blue sky bill.
which left loopholes which continued
to permit in a lesser degree the pill
laying which had been going on un-
der the Neville administration.
"At the last session the admins
tration, in accordance with the sug-
gestions of Governor McKelvie i'll
his inaugural address, again went
before the legislature with another
air-tight blue sky law. Again we
found Senator Walter Hoagland
fighting US. this time with a bill that
would abolish the blue sky law.
"But we were stronger this time
with a bigger republican majority
and. despite the obstacles, now have
a blue sky law in Nebraska with
teeth in it.
Touvelle today gave a history OF
the reasons why all of the stock
selling concerns registered by state
officials as promotion schemes" had
operated in Nebraska.
Under Old Law.
ITO begin with" said Touvelle,
the Neville administration was
under law which per-
mitted any corporation organized in
Nebraska to sell stock one year
after its operation, no matter what
its antecedents or prospects might
be. This law, automatically applied,
resulted in giving permission to the
following companies listed as pro-
motion enterprises to sell stock i'll
the state one year after their opera
tion:
