Brinton has finally succeeded IN
into Jail. It's up to the non
partisians now to keep MN TON
breaking into print with some start
ling things that might affect the PoPu-
lation of the jails in the state-OeV'ls
Lake Journal.
Of course if Bro. Worst lands the
of the Fargo Agricultural
Collepe--which he ought to be able to
do az a close friend and associate OF
the nonpartisan league leaders ana
fully in accord with the manner 1t mas
CONDUCTED the affairs Of the state ior
tho mast four years--the matter OF a
little thing like deputy immigration
commissioner arranging to get slice
of the commission on land sales Will
not bother him.
This is the diphtheria season. Re
cords Of the U. S. Public Hearth ger
vice show that 16 states reported over
& 900 cases in October and more IN
November. Don't worry about the
"Hn" this winter; it is unlikely to re-
turn. Worry about diphtheria; worry
enough, anyway, to have your doctor
determine by simple test whether
YOU and your children are immune. II
thew are not, protect them by the ne"
method of immunizatlon.
Bankers advocate placing money IN
the hanks to save it. There is no
question but what if you place money
on deposit in the Bank OF North "a
kota you will be saving it because a1t-
er they get hold of it 1t Will remain n
there for the next thirty years; II
somebody like Brinton or some otner
fellow does not get it away from
there in the meantime. The safest
wav to save your money is to put 1T
in YOUR local bank with local busl-
ness men at the head of the instltu-
tions-then YOU can get it back on de-
mand.
Before the legislature adjourns we
wonder what remedy it will PROVIDE
to correct the abuses disclosed IN the
of the Bank of North Da-
kota and the other state industrial
propositions, and if the conditions re-
vealed will be permitted to continue
to the detriment of the state and the
taxpayers? Or will the legislature
wake up and pass the necessary laws
to protect the states interests, or
will it be necessary to hold recall
election to sweep from power the par
asites that now hold the office?
The American Legion will have a
membership campaign from February
20 to March 5. The Legion is 10Y
per cent American organization and
every man who was in service will bet
ter himself by affiliating with the
splendid men in the Legion. Good
success to you, boys, and may you get
every service man and woman, IN
North Dakota in your excellent order;
But one man in twenty is eligible and
the little blue and gold button OF the
Legion means more to those entitled
to wear it than the insignia OF any
other organization.
And now according to letter dated
March II, 1920, and introduced in the
senate by Sen. L. E. Blair, it appears
that w. J. Motley, deputy employed
in the immigration department by
Commissioner J. H. Worst, was using
his position to further the aims OF the
immigration department CD by offer
in to split commissions with real es-
tate dealers, all Of which shows a
thrifty disposition and a remarkable
interest in the bringing in OF our new
settlers-to substantiate the conten-
ton of Bro. Worst that this depart
ment should be provided with funds
to carry on the good work. This is
the Worst yet.
Harding's cabinet is now believed to
be practically completed, although a
few eleventh hour changes may be an
rNunced. Inauguration day is but
little over week away. and Harding
has withheld his announcements OF the
various selections for portfolios until
nearly the last, using due consldera-
ton in the selection of a cabinet which
he believes will work in harmony with
a republican administration, and for
LflG D6SC lIlLcI0SCS VI &AlAS1lSeA eao q
whole. Selection Of Charles Evans
Hughes for secretary of state, Will
H. Hays for postmaster general
Harry M. Daugherty for attorney gen
eral, and so on through the entire
list shows his selections to be perhaps
the best possible, as in nearly every
case he has picked man that is ex-
perienced in the line of work that he
will be forced to handle as an advisor
of the nations chief executive. They
are men who have shown by their
previous accomplishments in public
life that they are fully capable of
handling the post awarded to them
and Harding's cabinet. even though
few minor changes may yet be made
will be one of the best without doubt
of any in the nations history.
