States Supreme court and that worthy
body held that Messrs. johnson and
O'Connor were right in their conten-
ton that the act was unconstitutional,
that the grain buyers of the state had
no protection whatever under the act
and that the federal grain grades
apply in all purchases of wheat. II
the action of Johnson and O'Connor is
seeking protection for their clients,
and their clients included every farm
er in the state who owned stock in
any elevator, and their number is
large, is unfair, unworthy and fit
subject for criticism then Johnson and
OConnor are entitled to the abuse
which they have been subjected but
we do not think they are entitled to
the criticism but are rather worthy of
commentator for their legal ability
in fighting the case to its logical con-
clusion and their sincerity in getting
Justice for those who purchase wheat
in the state. They were not the tools
of the Chamber of Commerce but
were acting for large proportion Of
the population of the state who hap
pen to own stock in farmers eleva
tors. Instead of the condemnation
heaped upon them by the Courier
News they are entitled to the com
mendation of every farmer in tn

THE TRAP WE ESCAPED

"The present emergency in the Near
East ought to cause Americans to re-
fleet what would have been the posit-
ion of the United States now if the
recommendations of former President
Woodrow Wilson that we become a
member of the league of nations and
accept a mandate over Armenia had
been endorsed" declares the Republic
can Publicity Association, through it's
President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
'The prime purposes of the league
covenant is to preserve the peace. Ec-
onomic measures to that end are to
be first resorted to, but if they fall
military force is to be called upon. 1t
is manifest that economic pressure
would have no deterrent effect on the
Turks in their campaign against the
Greeks, and it is up to members of
the league to call on their armies and
navies if the Greek and Turk combat
ants are to be separated. But the fact
is that neither Great Britain nor
France has any considerable number
Of troops at hand.
| "It will be remembered that Gen.
Harbord made thorough investiga-
ton two years ago Of the whole Ar
menian situation. He estimated at
that time that it would cost the U. S.
$756,000,000 to accept mandate over
that country for five years, the cost
for the first year being $275,00O, 000-
He recommended military force of
two American divisions, or $4,000 men,
to maintain order in the country. If
the mandate had been accepted &C
cording to the Wilson program, the
u. S. would be the only Christian ma
ton on the ground with an effective
force, although even that would be en-
tirely inadequate to cope with the
Turkish army estimated at 100000.
"Being member Of the league, it
would have become the immediate du-
> ty Of the United States to threaten
: Turkey with attack if she did not
cease her campaign against Greece,

: ed no action on the other members Of

" the covenant. Armenia is too ia. re-
:. moved from the scene of the present
fighting to have made it possible for
i an American army to join with the
Greeks in meeting the Turks, but it
I would have been feasible for our two
}, divisions to have conducted a counter
! demonstration against Turkey along
|. the Armenian frontier, which would
S have had the prompt effect Of calling
o a halt to hostilities in Asia Minor

Some people have evidently gotten
the idea that the election for authorlz-
ing bonds for water works IS Tor the
issuance Of 100000 additional to those
bonds voted for two years ago. Ihls
is incorrect as the coming election is
a mere formality in connection with
the bonds formerly authorized. In
voting for the bonds two years ago the
bonds were authorized for issuance at
an interest rate not to exceed five per
cent" The bond companies have
drawn the attention of the admins
tration to the fact that the authorl-
zation must state the exact rate OF
interest. Therefore another election
is necessary to authorize the issuance
of bonds "at an interest rate OF 1--WE
per cent" In other words the coming
election covers the bonds authorized
two years ago and places no addition
al burden on the taxpayers Of the
city.

THE TRUE AMERICAN POLICY

Chairman John T. Adams of the
Republican National Committee has
truly remarked that there never was
a protective tariff which the opposi-
ton did not characterize a "robber
tariff" He also truly says that
'There never has been a protective ta
riff that closed a factory or threw
man out of job"
Our Democratic friends are always
bowling about q "robber tariff" but
the only person who is robbed, if any,
is the importer of foreign goods who
is accustomed to make immense prof
it's by buying cheap in foreign coun-
tries and adding to his gains the
amount which he should pay in i'm
port duties. The Republicans have
never enacted a prohibitive tariff, and
so long as the tariff is not prohibitive
it cannot be robber tariff.
But the more important statement
by Mr.. Adams is the one last quoted
above. Our Democratic opponents
cannot point to an instance when a
Republican tariff ever closed a facto-
ry or threw an American workman
out of a job. We can point to numer-
Gus instances in which a Democratic
tariff threw hundreds of thousands of
workmen out Of jobs. 1t is clearly in
evitable that for every dollars worth
of goods we import, if they could be
produced here, we deprive the Ameri-
can producer of one dollars worth OF
business. There can be no question
whatever about that. Protection is the
true American policy.

It's a peculiar system the en-. has
in running their editorial comments
thru news items. For instance, this
morning that paper carried a story OF
Governor Nestos, J. F. T. OConnor
and L. B. Hanna being in Washington
comforting with the War Finance Cor
poration regarding help for North Da-
kota farmers in the marketing of their
crops and financing next years crop.
They comment on the statement that
the farmers already have the machln-
erv, in the Bank of North Dakota, to
finance their own business and, by
commenting, give the impression that
this is a part Of the news story-aIl
of which doubtless helps in their plan
of propaganda but is certainly not
proper in a newspaper. Aside from
the fact that they would have the
reader believe that the league admin
istration of the Bank of North Dako-
ia was a success and was able to fin
ance the farmer, which in itself is an
untruth, they leave the impression
that these thoughts are the thoughts
of the news reporter in Washington,
which is also misleading.

UNCLE TED'S BEDTIME STORIES

Ruth as Jack rushed into the house,
threw down his hat and began to talk
about Freddie and a few other boys
in words that were far from compli-
mentary.
"You'd be angry, mad, peeved and
everything else yourself if you had
just been listening to bunch of
boobs talk about the President the
way they have" answered Jack as he
sat down.
"What's that hear?" called Uncle
Ted from the next room. Look here
Jack" he continued as he put aside
his evening paper, "you may be per-
fectly right but remember that the
fellow who loses his temper loses his
head and his argument at the same
time. Nothing was ever gained in this
world by the fellow who temporarily
lost his reason because he had lost his
temper. Now just what was the trou-
ble?" Uncle Ted asked, as he sat
down between the two Riddles.
"Just this" answered Jack. Erred
die and bunch of the boys were in
our yard all afternoon having a good
time until somebody started talking
about the President and saying that
he was always against the ex-soldier
and had proved it when he vetoed the
bonus bill not long ago. Of course, I
couldn't stand it and I did try to keep
my temper by telling them all the
wonderful things he has done for the
soldiers as you told us, about the hos
pitfalls and vocational training schools.
Well, they kept it up until, we'll, l got
into scrap"
"Jack," said Uncle Ted slowly, ut
is pretty hard to blame you and it is
pretty hard also to make some people
understand our President in this mat
ter. l am going to tell you something
about him and try to show you his
viewpoint with regard to the bonus.
We must look into the Presidents
mind and see just why he has follow
ed the course taken.
"In the first place there is no more
kind and gentle man living than War
: rem G. Harding. Nor is there any man
who wants the eX-soldier> to have ev-
erything that is fine and right more
than our President. When the bonus
bill came to his desk for him to de-
eide whether it should be made law

The Times-Record carries at the
head of it's editorial columns the Mes
tos-O'Connor ticket. In the list of can
didates for supreme court justices sup
ported by this paper appears the
names of johnson, Nuessle and Eng
lert, the name of Englert appearing
instead of that of Birdzell, who was
Endorsed by the Independents. The
editor of the en-, true to his politi-
cal upbringing, sees in this a deep
laid plan to sacrifice either Nuessle
or Birdzell to insure the election OF
johnson. It's hard for any man who
has been associated with the nonpar'
tisan league for any length of time te
invest any act with honest motives
The editor of the en-. evidently feels
that we could not run Mr.. Englert'
name at the head of our editorial col
umns and do it honestly. In that hi
is wrong. Mr.. Englert's name ap
pears as our choice for the supreme
court bench because of our opinion
that he is one of the three best mer
nominated for the position, regardless:
of the fact that the independents in
dorsed Birdzell and that the Lacquer!
Endorsed Englert. We do not believe
that Mr.. Englert is in any way affili
ated with the nonpartisan league, tina
he believes in their administration o.
that he would support them in any o.
their efforts to ruin the credit of thu
state. We know Judge Englert per
sonally and have always liked him
He has made fair and impartial dis
trict court judge and we believe thai
he would also make a fair and impair
tial supreme court Judge. For thai
reason, and that alone, the Times-Rec
ord is supporting him for that post
ion. So much for the. deep laid p,ot
suggested by the en-. ~

under federal grades, and there was
large difference. Under those condit-
ions it was impossible for any grain
buyer to purchase wheat intelligently
or profitably, unless he happened to
be lucky. Knowing that such condit-
ion, if continued, would result in SER
,ious loss to every farmers elevator
company in the state the Farmers
Grain Dealers Association, an associ-
alton of directors of farmers elevators
thruout the state who were in no way
associated with the Chamber of Com
merce of Minneapolis, engaged Messrs
johnson and O'Connor to bring test
case to see which grading law should
apply to the state of North Dakota.
In order to test the case the Farmers
Elevator of Emdem was asked to lend
it's name for that purpose. The
case was instituted by Messrs. john
son and O'Connor, at the instigation
of the Farmers Grain Dealers Associ-
alton, and they were instructed to car
ny the case to it's ultimate conclusion
so that grain buyers in the state
would be assured of adequate protec-
ton in the purchase of grain. The
Farmers Grain Dealers Association
started the case and paid all expenses
Of the case, no moneys being received
from outside sources and the Cham
Der of Commerce having no direct in
terest in the case financially or other
wise. The North Dakota law was I'M
constitutional. No lawyer was need
ed to see that the act was poorly
drawn and would not stand up under
legal action. Under those conditions
it was poor act to have on the stat
ute books and should have been with
drawn. The test case brought the
matter to the attention of the United
