The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-08-24
EDITORIAL

Occasionally real Joke appears in
the columns of the daily papers. The
latest example of this is democrat
ic supporter of Ex-President Wilson's
administration condemning the Hard
ing administration as being complete
failure. Those democrats never did
have very we'll developed sense of
humor.
Walter f. Cushing, the veteran
newspaper man Of Beach, N. d., well
known in Valley City, is in Bismarck
hospital recovering from an operation.
The newspaper boys around the state
will pray for the speedy recovery of
their associate in the newspaper
game and hope he will soon be able to
resume his work as editor of the
Beach Advance. We miss the spicy
editorials from Waits pencil.
Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, who is 1.
candidate for reelection to the United
States senate, and in event of his WIN
ming out will be a candidate for the
presidency in 1924, is going about pre-
dieting the defeat of the republican
party. AS prophets the democrats
have not been a bowling success and
it is barely possible that Atlee Pom
creme may be entirely mistaken at this
time. You can't always tell.
President Harding:-"A free Ameri-
can has the right to labor without any
others leave. 1t would be no less an
abridgement to deny men to bargain
collectively. Governments cannot toler-
ate any class or grouped domination
through force. 1t will be sorry day
when group domination is reflected in
our laws. Government, and the laws
the laws which govlnment is charged
with enforcing must be for all the
people, ever aiming at the common
good. The foremost thought in the
Constitution is the right to freedom
and the pursuit of happiness. Men
must be free to live and achieve. Lib
erty is gone in America when any man
is denied by anybody the right 20
work and live by that work. 1t does
not matter who Denies"

The democrats in the house of rep
resentatives at Washington have
started flibuster to delay action on
the tariff bill. There is very little
sincerity about our dem ocratic friends.
Every newspaper of democratic faith
and every spokesman for the demo-
cratic party, have been saying right
along that the best thing for the
democratic party is the passage of
the Fordney tariff bill which passed
the senate last week, but when the
bill is under consideration they use
every means in their power to block
the passage Of the law. The Fordney
tariff bill is said to be bill very ia
vorable to the agricultural interests

bills we're more Of interest to eastern
and southern states. The democrats

Wilson they made the country safe
for profteers.
