THE BIG ISSUE

The issue in the North Dakota senatorial fight
is not the question of the religious a~fiiation of
] F. I. O'Connor or Lynn J. Frazier. 1t is whichbf
these men is the fttest to represent North Dakotalin
the United States senate? =
70 this question there can be but one answer.
1t is supplied by Mr.. Frazier's own record. AS Gov
ernor OF North Dakota Mr.. Frazier permitted the
most shameful squandering of the public funds for
political purposes the state has ever known. With
full authority for the management of the states in
dustries vested in him he nismanaged these indus
tries, or permitted them to be mismanaged so
shamefully, that immense financial losses were piled
on the tax payers as a result of his incapacity or
worse. -
He permitted-the laws to be openly flouted for
the benefit Of William Lemke, and J. N. Hagan, the
other Nonpartisan League members Of the state in
dustrial commission.
For the chief advisers of.his administration he
chose Walter Thomas Mills and other socialists.
Therecord of his administration is such that he
stands convicted today Of either monumental inca
Paeity or criminal indifference or both, and the ques-
ton for the voters to decide is whether or not a
man with such a record is a fit man to represent
North Dakota in the United States senate.

ALAS. POOR BILL

As was forecast in these columns a few days
ago Bill the Builder is squirrning and snarling.
Taught u a trap which h, set for himself he feels
the Jaws %pinching painfully, and -er,its howls of.
abuse. This is natural and to BE expected, FOR Bill's
worst enemy can't deny that he is in a fix which
warrants compassion. @
Bill has been telling people that while NE was
attorney general, some interests. unnamed, offered
him a bride of $3.50, 900 to handle some legal case,
in a certain manner, not described. Bill
says he refused the bride with scorn and then pro-
.ceeds to illsinuate that the present attorney general,
ovelnbJorn Johnson was not SO incompatible As he
might have been, and is doing the bidding Of the
mysterious bribers. &
. All this is quite in Bills usual line of campaign
amenities and It was inconsiderats to say the least
tor Mr.. Johnson'to butt in on his good time and de-
'nand facts. Nevertheless that was what he did.
Hence Bills bowls. .>
MIR. johnson demanded that Lernke state the
name of the person or persons who offered the bribe,
the title of the case in which it was offered, and the
time and place of the attempted bribery. Further
more he demanded that Lemke explain why if a
bride was offered him, he did not Immediately take
steps for the criminal prosecution of the would be
ipr'ber as the law requires. Lastly he inquired polite
~ If Mr.. Lemke would now verify a criminal COM
plant against the bride givers.
Naturally Bill the Builder resents this violation
CT his professional lying privilege. If he answers the
he must either admit that he was grossly
|aerelict III his duty as attorney general in permitting
. te1oAy 20 DC conalnltteo IN nls<very presence With
out making any effort to bring the feldns to justice,
or else admit that he lied about the whole affair. So
no one will tia1ne him very much for the course he
has taken in refusing to answer.
1t is a we'll established rule of law that nd man,
can be compelled to answer a question when to do
so would incriminate him. That is Bills fix. He has
exercised his privilege, and now it is for the public
to determine whether he has merely lied, or whether
he has been guilty of conniving in the concealment
OF a crime he was sworn to prosecute and punish.
By his refusal to answer Mr.. Johnson's ques-
|tions he has convicted himself on one of these two
counts, and all the abuse he is capable of pouring
out will not change the facts.

ATMOSPHERE OF LAUSANNE

When the Near East peace conference opens at
Lausanne on November 10, memory will at once re-
call that exactly four years before, that city was
mentioned as the possible scene of.the peace con
gress which was to settle the affairs of the world
following the great war. At that time, however,
nothing came Of; the suggestion, for the negotiations
were carried on It Paris and concluded at Versailles.
In spite of Turkish aversion to the place; Lau-
same has been definitely selected for the meeting
which will attempt to settle the conflict pending be-
tween Turks and. Greeks and Turks and Allies. The
kemalists would, have preferred a city within their
own domain, for that intangible fact known as an
atmosphere" would naturally be decidedly in their
favor, were the conference held under the crescent
banner.
Probablythe very question Of "atmosphere"has
had something to do with the selection of Lausanne.
First of all, it is neutral territory. Second, it is stu
ated Immediately north of the Lake of Geneva, on
the great highway from Milan to Paris, that is,
easily accessible to couriers and other travellers. And
third, if scenic beauty affects the minds even Of
:diplomats-which it undoubtedly does-the very
tranquility of the surroundings of Lausanne may be
expected to contribute subtly to a solution Of the
problems pending.
Aside from practical and aesthetic considerations
there are some of sentiment and tradition which
ia peace treaty. For that city-which is about j, 700
years old-has fostered men, and been the home of
men, who have fought for just those PRINCIPLES
which are at stake now.
It was herestha Benjamin Constant was born
Constant. the remarkable political tneorist and
writer whose rrdauntsd battles for the freedom Of
the press and Of speech are not yet forgotten. It was
in Lausanne that Constant conceived his idea that

THE MILL AND ELEVATOR OPEN.
The North Dakota mill and elevator have now

The North Dakota mill and elevator have now
been opened, inaugurating a new experiment in gov
fernmental activities not only in North Dakota but
lin the entire nation.
Concerning the wisdom of this undertaking hot
debate has ragged since it was first suggested. This
difference of opinion still exists and will continue
lnntil the enterprise has been thoroughly tried out.
To attempt to predict definitely the success or
Failure of the project at this time is impossible. 1t
depends on many factors, and there are many prob
Items which can be worked out only in the course of

Certain facts remain outstanding. They have
(been pointed out on numerous occasions before, but
Ieannot be too strongly emphasized If the North
fDakota state mill and elevator is to be a success 1t
must be administered on a strictly business basis
Ut must stand the same tests and be judged by as
istrict istandardssa as would be the case if it were a
private business. If it is to meet these requirements
ithe' manag cement must not be subjected to handicaps
they would not encounter if the business were run
by a private concern. It must not be compelled to
aoperate an asylum for needy political heelers, or be
Required to determine its treatment of their patrons
On the basis of political afiliation.
In fact it should be a basic rule throughout the
management Of the entire enterprise that politics
hnust b~esforgotten. .
! T1heswork done by the present administration
mp to date indicates that these facts are realized,
AAand that the mill and elevator will be conducted as a
business proposition, not as a political sideline. II
tthis policy can be continued in the future, the chanc-
les Of the success of the enterprise will be increased
