inasmuch as the controversy is not be-

The argument has much merit, I'M

to real or dummy corporations for
work formerly done by the roads
themselves and thus escape the condit-
ions as to wages and hours laid down
by the labor board. The board has
banned this plan, but its orders are
ignored. One of the largest systems
has also refused to acknowledge the
boards power to fix working rules
and has installed the socalled 'com-
pany union" plan. In view of these
facts the roads are not in position to
lay too much stress on the 'outlaw
strike".

clined to agree with them, in part at
least. The railroads seem to want
the employees to obey the orders of
the United States Labor Board with
out question while they themselves
use every means to avoid the observ-
ance of these rules. In other words
the railroads want the labor board to
act as a board Of arbitration on the
claims of the employees but do not
want to abide by the decisions of the
boards applicable to themselves. I'm
der these conditions we believe that
the stand taken by the union is justi-
fable, and, while we do not think
they have cause for striking on the
strength of the wage reduction, we
do believe that their insistence on the
observance by both sides of the rules
laid down by the board contains con-
siderable merit.

but it is also, in it's equipment and ap-
pointments, an index to the hospital
ity of the city. A man would not think
of asking visitor at his home to
sign card telling just what he ex-
pected to do for that man to pay for
his entertainment while being his
guest and we do not think that the
city should ask a tourist to do so up
on entering the tourist park. We
know that some such suggestion has
been brought forward as being good
system to establish in our park but
we do not think it would be the proper
course to pursue. Valley City is be-
ing advertised from coast to coast as
a beautiful city and a city where the
tourist is looked after in every up-to-
date way possible. The advertising
will more than repay the citizens for
any expense to which they are put by
reason of the park-even though the
tourists do not spend a cent while
here, which is manifestly impossible.
If that is the case why belittle our
hospitality by asking our visitors to
account for their expenditures and
send them away with the secret feel
ing that our hospitality must be
bought and paid for?

The Fargo Forum, in an article re-
lating to road improvements west OF
Casselton says, This highway is
now gravelled from Fargo to Maple
ton, the new stretch will carry it into
the natural sand roads which begin
about two miles west of Wheatland".
We object. While it is true that the
Red River gumbo ends at about the
point mentioned it is not true that the
land is natural sand from that point
west. If the statement were tue
Barnes county land would be in the
sand belt and we maintain that
Barnes county land is, while of diff
ferent quality, fully as productive as
Red River valley land and much more
sure of producing profitable crop
than that land. The writer for the
Forum should use more care in DIES
cribing land outside of the immediate
vicinity of Fargo.

Sometimes it is hard to twist facts
to suit your own conception Of con-
ditions but the en-. goes long way
around this morning to prove that in
dependent papers in the state are
wrong, that the defeat of McCumbel
means the defeat Of the independents
and that the nonpartisan league is full
ly as strong as ever. After an ex-
tended amount of "supposing" they
state that 'if'' Nestos had supported
McCumber he would have gone down
to defeat also and consequently the
league was really victorious in the
election. This line OF argument is
really trifle too involved to get at
their point of view but we suppose it
explains everything and that really
the independents are licked, even tho
they did nominate all the principal Of
flcers of the state and seem to con-
troll the legislature. However, if the
nonpartisans can get any satisfaction
out of the nomination of Frazier
which is long way short of an cleo
ton, we suppose we would be selfish
to deny them that pleasure.

men who take the service"
Why qualify that statement?

Why quan1y thaI Statement
Why should not the government and
public sentiment protect any man
who wants to do lawful work? The
right of any man to quit work should
be held sacred, but it should be no
more sacred than the right of any
man to work when he wants to work.
The men who take the position of the
strikers in this socaled 'outlaw strike
are entitled to protection, as the chair
man says, but not one whit more than
were the victims of the murders in
the Illinois coal fields. Also these
men have just as much right to quit
work as the men in the Illinois fields,
whether this is an outlaw strike or
not.-Forum.

Senator New, of Indiana, has come
out flat-footed against the primary
election law and says that it is a
breeder of political corruption and in
efficiency in government. We suppose
Senator McCumber will also be
against the law. While the statement
does not carry the conviction that it
should, coming from Senator New, we
agree with him that this law has
made the election laws cumbersome
and has not raised the type Of candi-
dates to any noticeable degree. Under
the old caucus system the state of
North Dakota would not have found
itself in the position in which it now
is as regards the United States Sen
ate. McCumber, as the incumbent in
the senate, would have naturally been
the first choice for the candidacy.
However, before he could have hoped
for the support of the republican par
ty of the state he would have been
forced to state his position clearly on
state and national issues. He could
not have side-stepped the questions
which were put to him before the
jamestown convention and received
the Endorsement Of the convention.
The old time caucuses did not indorse
men who refused to state where they
stood nor did they allow their names
to appear on the ballot. Under the
primary law any man who can obtain
Ia few signatures to a petition may
have his name appear on the ballot.
AS consequence we have long bal
lot filled with so many names that
the average voter who has not fol-
lowed politics closely becomes befud-
died when he goes to the voting booth
and is not certain in his own mind
just what the different candidates.
stand for. The old system gave the
choice between two men for each po-
sition, one from each party, and the
men and issues were clear cut. Of
course the argument is that the can
didates were hand picked but we do
not believe that they were any more
hand picked than are the candidates
under the present system. The only
candidates in the recent election who
were not "hand picked" were those
few disgruntled politicians who "also
RAM, just fast enough to split the
vote and hurt the chances of one of
the regular candidates. We now have
two elections and the usual precinct
caucuses, county and state conven-
tons in every election year. The old
style political deals are put over the
same as in the old days and the only
thing the primary law has done is to
force the expense of two elections on
to the candidates in addition to keep
ing the state in political turmoil for
nine months instead of three. It
strikes us that the primary election
law is an experiment that has not
fulfilled its promises.

Visitors to the city, by car, appre-
ciate our beautiful tourist park but it
is evident that few citizens in the
city do not fully realize just what this
park is for. This park is equipped
for the benefit of the touring public
or such part of the public as elects
to stop in the city for short time.
The stoves are placed there for their
use without charge that they may
have some means of preparing their
meals while in the city and the other
equipment of the park is for their
comfort and convenience. Nothing
should be done by any citizen of the
;city that would in any way interfere
with their thoro enjoyment of the
park and the hospitality of the city as
a whole. In spite of this several
townspeople went to the tourist park
last Sunday, in the absence of the
caretaker, and monopolized the kitch-
en- and other equipment, resulting in
great Inconvenience to tourists who
were stopping there and forcing them
to wait until the local people were
thru before they were able to cook
their own dinner. Those persons
would not think of inviting guests to
their home and then doing anything
to mar the pleasure of their hospital
ity and they should not mar the hos
pitality of the city by interfering with
the pleasure which the tourists get
from the park. If local people want
to have picnic chautauqua park and
the city park are open to them at all
times. The tourist park is for the ex-
elusive use of the travelling public. 1t
will be we'll for local people to remem-
Der this and not interfere with the
use of the park by tourists.

A good many newspapers carry ar
ticles telling of the money spent in
their respective cities by tourists stop
ping in their tourist park. Some cit
les even go as far as to hand to each
party of tourists a postal card which
they request them to fill out and re-
turn to them stating just how much
money the party has spent in the city
while stopping in the park, even go
ing as far as to ask them to itemize
their expenditures. This does not look
right to us for several reasons, the
principal one of which is that it is
putting a premium on hospitality.
Everyone knows that any party of
tourists stopping in the city overnight
is bound to spend some money but
that is not the primary object of es-
tablishing a tourist park. The tourist
park is to the city as a mans recep-
ton hall is to his home. 1t is a place
for tourists to stop while in the city

The supreme court of the state has
decided that the proposed plan for the
financing of the soldier bonus claims
is not legal as a part of the money
represented by these claims would, Of
necessity, be spent outside of the
state. They pointed out the fact that
this was a matter which should be adj
dressed to the Legislature that the
present law might be amended to pro-
vide some means for financing the
claims until such time as the money
was available from the special tax
levied each year. The plan was to
sell these bonus claims at a discount
of Is percent, that discount being al
rived at as being the average amount
of interest which would accrue on the
claims before payment would be made
Aside from any question as to the adj
visibility of granting soldiers a bo-
nus, the fact remains that the bonus
has been allowed and the ex-service
men Of the state see little hopes of
obtaining the money while it is of any
use to them. The majority of ex-ser-
vice men need that money, need it bad
enough to be willing to discount their
claims Is percent, and the state
should make every effort to see that
the claims are taken up at the earliest
possible moment If legislative
amendment is needed to pave the way
for the financing of the claims why
not make that amendment include an
interest rate sufficient to make the
claims an attractive investment with
out discount? If the state of North
Dakota can afford to pay it's ex-ser-
vice men a bonus it can afford to paw
that bonus in full. The ex-service
men should not be required to finance
the states promise to pay. 1t is ev-
ident that the next legislature will be
forced to do something to correct the
mistakes in the original law and they
should go all the way and see that the
ex-service ren get 100 percent of the
claims and get them without undue
delay.

BENJAMIN Stark Dies.

A telegram was received this morn
ing stating that Benjamin Stark died
Wednesday afternoon, July 26, at a
hospital in Miles City, Mont. Ben,
as he was familiarly known, was taken
to the hospital in Miles City about a
week ago with a ruptured appendix.
He seemed to progress nicely after the
operation and then complications de-
veloped. He became suddenly worse
and the end came at o'clock Wednes
day afternoon.
Benjamin Stark was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Stark who for
merly resided in Spencer Brook. In
1912 the family moved to CARLYLE,
Mont, and has resided there since
that time.
Ben and his brothers have for sew
eral years been engaged in farming.
He was most Industrious young man
OF sterling character. His untimely
death is greatly to be deplored.
He is survived by three sisters,
Lucy, Lydia and Janet; four brothers,
Ralph, Hugh, Thomas and Edward.
Deep sympathy is extended to the

she disappeared under the surface of
the water. Her little companion ram
for help that arrived too late.

and about o'clock in the afternoon
the body was found in almost six feet
of water.
