The appalling extravangance of the
national government is responsible for
the heavy taxes which show in the
high prices of manufactured goods
and excessive freight rates. It is es-
pecially important to the agricultural
interests of the country that this orgy
of waste should cease, as the farmer,
producer of raw materials, is COM
PEELED to sell at a low, market and buy
in high market. National expenses
should be speedily reduced.
On the associated subjects of peace
and the care of those who have fought
our wars, the words of Lincoln's last
inaugural are most appropriate:
with malice toward none, with char
ity for all, with firmness in the right
as God gives US to see the right, let
us strive on to finish the work we
are in, to bind up the nations wounds
to care for him who shall have borne
the battle and for his widow and his
orphan, to do all which may achieve
and cherish just and lasting peace
among ourselves and with all nations"
l favor the enforcement of the eigh
teenth, or prohibition, amendment of
the Constitution of the United States,
as part or the supreme law of the
land, and the prohibition laws of this
state, and denounce any and all eff
forts to nullify them other than by the
process clearly defined in the consti-
tuition itself. l especially denounce
the method invoked in the United
States District Court for the state of
North Dakota to nullify the national
prohibition law, and classify McCum-
Der and Miller, his appointee, the men
responsible therefor, with Calhoun,
the pro-slavery prepayment of nullifica-
ton.
Finally, and to the end that the
foundation principles of our civiliza-
ton may be kept secure, right stand
ards of government maintained and
patriotism promoted, it is indispens-
able that the nation and state be rep
resented in public office by honest,
unselfish officials, men who are not
seeking office for profit.
This nation and state must not lose
sight of, nor faith in, the plain, easily
understood requirements of a govern
ment of the people, by the people, and
for the people. The sovereign power
in this nation and state is in the peo-
pie. This power is exercised by the
ballot. The peoples liberty is main
tanned only by themselves. Eternal
vigilance is it's price.

$4,000 loan was made to J. w. Nc
Mahon and heavy loans made to John
Haigh, Carlyle, Mont, banker; Rem
vile and Burleigh where many loans
were made which have been attacked
as political loans. The same is true
of Morton county where the McKaig
loans were made, and on which no
payments have been made.
The figures of the present ad-.
ministration show q considerably
more even distribution among the
various counties of the state. Loans
are made by the present administra-
ton on a basis of apportionment to
the various counties which it is ex-
pected will prevent excessive loans
being made in one county, this sys-
tenn being adopted both as good
business policy and in fairness to the
people of all sections of the state.
Total applications received total
1895, 720, which is about $5,600,0O0
greater than the total amount of
loans the ad1ninistrat ton is author
lied to make under existing laws.

GOOD WORK FOR
JUDGE J. A. C0FFEY

Leonard Haunt, convicted of will
fully refusing to support his minor
children, was today sentenced to
serve one year and six months in the
state penitentiary at hard labor. In
passing sentence Judge Coffey took
occasion to emphasize the seriousness
Of the defendants conduct and recall
the history of the case.
The Judge said in part:
"Mr. Hauntz you have been charg-
ed with wilfully neglecting and re-
fusing to support your four minor
children under the age of sixteen
years. The jury has found that you
are guilty of wilfully refusing to
support your children, that you have
deliberately refused, and have left
them upon the charity of the public
and the efforts Of your frail wife,
frail because she has borne to you 10
children in quick succession, and be-
cause she has had to assume the bur-
dens which you should have helped
her bear and which you have shaken
from your shoulders like dust from
the street.
AT the last term Of court before
Judge Nuessle your wife was given a
divorce from you and you were re-
quired to help support your four
children. You deliberately refused to
comply with the order of the court
and stated that you would rot in jail
before you would support them. You
were brought into court upon con-
tempt charge for refusing to comply
with the order to support your child
rem. Upon this hearing you even re-
fused to answer the questions put to
you and acted in a generally insolent
and insulting manner. You were
committed to Jail for contempt and
after serving 80 days you were re-
leased upon signing an agreement
that you would thereafter attempt to
carry out the decree of court and
support your children. This you have
wilfully and deliberately refused to
do. You have not only refused to
carry out the order Of Judge Nuessle
but you have violated the statutes of
the state which imposes this duty
upon you and you have violated the
highest instincts of man and the
highest duty Of man, to support his
own offspring. You have forfeited all
right to consideration from your
children and from the court. There
are too many men who like yourself
feel but lightly the responsibility to
their children and family. Your
counsel has asked for leniency in this
case-for suspended sentence. l
have no sympathy for you in these
circumstances; there will be no sus-
pended sentence" Alert.

Emergency cases only.

Emergency cases are those where
the period of redemption expires in
1922 on mortgage foreclosures and
contract cancellation. They are hand
led ahead Of all other cases on ac-
count of the urgency Of their need.
Bottineau, Burleigh and Renville
counties received substantially more
loans from the former administra-
zion than they were entitled to under
their county allotments. Therefore
the new administration is only hand
ling emergency cases in those coun-
ties until the other 50 counties have
caught up with their loans to those
three counties.

STATE PLATFORM

Amy one aspiring to represent North
Dakota in the national Congress
should make known to the people,
forming it's electorate, what improve
ment his election will accomplish over
existing conditions. This means a
platform.
In the first place, I propose honor
ably to do all in my power to return
the Nestos administration. Governor
Nestos and his associates have labor
ed unremittingly against apparently
|insurmountable odds to restore the
state to it's norman functions and for
mer credit.
l intend to do all that honorably
can to restore the government of the
state to its own people. The people
Of the state should determine here and
now to repudiate outside interference
in the state government, whether die
tated by corporate or political inter-
ests, to the end that ''politics for per-
sonal profit" may be cast out. The
people of the state should eradicate
and expel the influence that made pos
sible the twin evils of Townlcyisn1 and
Mckenzieism. Townley and Mclkrn-
zie have sown dragons teeth over this
fair state. The people of the state are
reaping harvest of hate, the OILY
harvest that can grow from such seed.
These two men will be joint benefic-
iaries if either McCumber or Frazier
is elected to the senate.
The Republican National Committee
has recognized the state committee
presided over by Judge Burleigh F.
Spalding, and has repudiatel the spu-
rious committed approved by Senator
McCumber and bearing the name Of
William Lemke. 1t is the duty of all
good Republicans to follow the action
of the National Committee.

CALLS AUTOS A DETRIMENT.
Princeton Head Says Cars Are Not An
Asset For Students.

Princeton, N. J.-President John
Grier Hibben, of Princeton University,
sent out letters to parents and guar
dians of all students pointing out that,
far from being an asset to the acad-
emic equipment of undergraduates, an
automobile was positive detriment."
Saying that the policy of the uni
versity had always been to refrain
from interference with the personal
liberties of students as long as these
conformed to reasonable standards of
good conduct, President Hibben said
the faculty was coming more and more
to rely on the student body to main
tain traditions and establish campus
sentiment. The senior council, he said
had disapproved the ownership of cars
by students.
