possible that any man in a demo-
cratic country like this can buy
his way into any lawmaklng
body. Henry Ford is too pro-
gressive for the old standpatters
in the Senate and they would
much rather accept Newberry as
he is not so dangerous to their
interests as is Ford. As for
party loyalty the two senators
from Minnesota Nelson and
Kellogg were no better than the
rest and voted to seat Newberry.
Even with Nelson's great popu-
larity in Minnesota his consti-

Thomas had the deciding vote to
cast for leaving town of Winde-

not use it, thinking that Winde-

Mr.. Thomas stand and his right

1923. They now know it eleven
months in advance which ought
to be long enough.
Now get busy and knuckle
down to business and put it over
us for once. We will guarantee
you that there will be no whin-
ing on the Americans part if We
are beaten in 1923; we will do
like we did in 1920 grit our
teeth and figure on the next
years to come. If we are not
mistaken it was over at Grand
Rapids that Editor Kiley had the
official printing of that county
for years and at full legal rate
in spite of lower bids each year
by other printers. on account Of
the service given. The lowest
bid is not always the cheapest
and most economical bid.
Editor Colby also writes: The
Courier, even if it is in a larger
town, is not so large but what
we can work in harmony with
all of the other papers" Sure.
now times have changed. but Edi-
tor Colby undoubtedly remem-
hers that when the American
commenced publication a little
over seven years ago he gave us
six months Of existence in that
little town of Askov and if we
stuck it out one year we would
be lucky Today he would
most likely be glad to be doing
one-third of the business that we
do, and he would do more if he
would stop his whining.
The county printing this year
will perhaps amount to in the
neighborhood Of $500 under the
American bid, and sometimes
we have wondered if it is worth
the grief that is connected with
it-all the handsome notoriety
we get. Yes, we have sometimes
wondered if it would not be bet
ter to just say the word and let
the combine go forth blossoming,
get our little lift be classed as
gentlemen, have good under

between the printers and the
whole county would then be all
harmony and the work would 90

other similar jobs which have
been secured without us being

is three times as high as now.

Should be Of the Past

Warefare is. as everybody
knows, no child's game--the
soldiers are sent to the battle
fields to kill. While they should
kill according to the rules of
warfare it is undoubtedly not al
ways done SO, and it is likely that
there is some truth in the ac-
cusations Of Senator Watson. that
hangings and other brutality
without trail occurred within the
American army during the
World War.
In this connection we will re-
late what we recently heard a
young service man tell from the
front--a young man who was in
the aviation service where the
bullets came about as thick as
any place and who. whenever
sent out on one of those nightly
flying missions never knew
whether or not he would
return to camp alive, and by the
way was also sererely wounded
in one encounter. The young
man is Of German descent. He
said that one time he saw an
American soldier who had been
gassed by the Germans. as a con.
sequence Of which he became
crazed and turned on his own
comrades. shooting right and left
not knowing what he was do
ing. An officer near by shot him
dead Immediately to save further
casualties. The young man who
told this story was very near at
hand and observed it closely, but
added that other American sol
diers farther away who perhaps
got u glimpse of the tragedy
might have reported that they
saw an American officer shoot
down one of his own men in cold
blood and without trial, and that
was undoubtly the manner in
which many of the stories got
out. ITO be sure" the young
man added. there were many
smart-aleck American officers
picked from all walks Of life
who when they got into com.
mand and were given some au,
thority were not slow in dis.
playing it.
However. Senator Watson. whe
is bringing up these charges
seems to be Of the type that
likes notoriety and likes to still
up things, so a great deal of at
tention will perhaps not be paiC
to il. But it brings to mind agar
that militarism is no child
play and is something that ;
civilized world should get alon,
without and constantly guar,
against.

American to find time and space
to answer four or FIVE newspa-
pers all lambasting us at the
same time, and we don't suppose
that our readers care to be fed
up on too much of that stuff
either.
Editor Colby had a lengthy
article last week in which,
among other things. he brings
out about greater service if the
county printing is under the
combine agreement and all the
papers are in on it. True. the
service would be greater under
the combine than it was for in
stance in 1920 when the Poker
had it on an individual bid and
promised to send a copy Of the f.
nancial statement and the delin-
quent tax list to all Of the per-
sonal property tax payers in the
county. thing which the tax
payers outside of his own read
ers are still waiting for. AL
though the newspapers of the
county know how the Poker
handled the printing in 1920
they are continually avoiding
this matter in their hollering
about the commissioners not ac-
cepting the lowest bid-that
of the Poker. Under the COM
bine it has been customary for
the various papers to circulate
the financial statement and de-
linquent tax list which was
printed by the official paper, but
outside of this they have circu-
lated nothing. The two years
that the American had the
county printing under an inG-
vidual bid we circulated the
financial statement and delin-
quent tax list to all the personal
property tax payers which is APP
proximately 1000 giving it even
wider distribution than when
sent through the various county
papers. And of course the same
thing will be done this year.
Under the combine the commits
sioners proceedings have only
been published in the official pa
per-the same as under the in
dividual bid. The service is no
greater under the combine bill

Great Northern Lacked Support

With railroad stocks as a group sell
ing a point or more under The closing
price Of last week, Il is probably un-
necessary to seek out n separate reason
for the decline in each particular issue.
The frame Of mind into which the
speculative community is working
itself whenever the question OF the
Great Northern dividend is brought up,
however, is worthy Of special mention.
Undoubtedly 10 entered into the con-
dition OF Great Northern stock In yes
terday's market for that issue at one
period showed a net loss Of nearly two
points, as compared with an average
Of about point for other active rails.
AZ the low point Great Northern was
II points below the high Of the year.
The Street has some doubts about the
maintenance Of the per cent dividend
rate. The Northern Pacific sdirectors
reduced their stock 20 3 per cent
basis. Tho Great Northern board. BY
deferring action until the summer and
putting the stock on a semi-annual
basis theoretically maintained the 7
per cent rate, yet will have ended the
year with disbursements aggregating
only 5k per cent for 1922. The latter
board Is due 20 meet soon, for the next
somi-annual dividend should be forth
coming February /. There Is a dif-
ference Of opinion on the size Of the
next dividend, but apparently the pessl-
mists were in the majority in yester-
