THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER.
(Established 1873)
GET BUSY!
Don't start croaking.
This country is going on in prosperity.
They may upset thrones and regimes all they
please in Europe.
We don't do things that way in this country.
When we aren't suited with things as they are
we dust off the ballot box and put it into commis­
sion.
That's the American way. The peaceful revo­
lution.
And businer-P and jobs as usual.
Lots of things need change and mending.
Don't forgot that. For one thing, the common fel­
low is going to have more to say than before the
war.
But free peoples like this know how to go about
such jobs as ours without flying at one another's
throats.
Of course occasionally some big or little man
looses a tornado of fiery words. We do it our­
selves sometimes and our chest feels better after­
wards.
Now we're going to be altogether too busy to
bother with the brethren of the firebrand.
And we won't have any time to waste listening
to croakers.
They told us it would take 5 or 10 years to whip
Germany.
Thanks be, our boys didn't betffctfqfitj."
The croakers are discredited

Americans to make good times for ourselves.

across of iron, either.
RESULTS.
William Hohenzollern set out to make himself
autocrat of the world.
To found a German world-empire greater than
any other empire ever dreamed of by man.
H6 made himself the most abhorred of mankind.
He* wrecked autocracy, militarism, Teutonism
and all their brood of evils.
He created a unity of English-speaking peoples
that will rule the world.
He created an empire of democracy greater than
any king every ruled.
"Man proposes. God disposes."
Pharaoh's example comes to mind.
The old Egyptian autocrat became a warning
to mankind.
Hohenzollern is another.
No man or combination of men can stop the
coming of The Day when—
"Man to man, the warld o'er
Shall brithers be and a' that."
Right now we're realizing the spiritual unity of
the English-speaking peoples.
We're realizing the essential kinship in aims of
the English-speaking peoples with the Latrn races.
The British, the French, the AmerjLg^ns ar$
melting into a League of Free Nations for the
peace, unity and prosperity of the world.
Hohenzollern never contemplated such a result
from his war.
He didn't want any such result.
BUT GOD DID!
Amen!

The British, the French, the Italians.
The war exposed the colossal treachery of Ger­
many, the Judas among nations
Let us not forget the lesson.
The war drew us into a blood-bond of kinship
with Britain, France and Italy,
That bond will be strengthened in the years
and world-activities of peace.
To make sure that no misunderstandings shall
mar the relation's of the future with these our
kinsmen after the flesh and after the spirit, we
will unitedly, in our schools study British litera­
ture, French literature and language, Italian lan­
guage and literature.

We will not need to seek German trade. But
if we do, remember that trade is never at a loss

do business with us!

German study in the public schools?

SIONER OF EDUCATION.

WIPING OUT FARM MORTGAGES.
A greater percentage of farm mortgages in the
Northwest has been paid off this year than in any
other single year, if financial men dealing largely
in these securities are correct in their reckonings.
This is a rather dependable indication that the
farming population of this part of the country
has shared well in our war-time prosperity.
Despite scattered crop failures and in the face
of statements from sources that farming of late
has been an unprofitable business, land values are
said to have been increased for the most part.
At any rate these values are so stable that farm
mortgages, save in North Dakota, are said to be
increasingly attractive as investments for surplus
funds. The reason they are not so in North Dav
kota is that the Non-partisan League, whose des­
tinies are shaped by Socialists, is in political con­
trol of public policies in that state. Socialism has
an ultimate tenet that there should be no private
ownership 9f land or other natural sources of pro­
duction. That is a discouraging thought to those
who would otherwise be predisposed in favor of
investment in farm mortgages.
Minnesota voters, including the'16vel-hea®ed[
farmers, went tqr the polls on election day and Re­
turned a judgment th^t the affairs of this state
should not be turned '6vpr to the Nonpartisan
League. They fearecf that such adventures as
North Dakota has entered upon, if undertaken
here, would result in an economic blight upon Min­
nesota. They had excellent reason for so think­
ing, hence their continued dependence on the party
already in power and their intrusting of their
problems for solution to that party and to the
sound sense of men of other parties willing to co­
operate with it in policies of true remedial virtue.
We do not believe that, in so doing, they have
thrown away any advantage nature has given
them in this prosperous year.—Minneapolis Trib­
une.

No, when the boys come home they certainly
won't have to fight for jobs.
Lots of people are taking this world-disarma­
ment thing, seriously these days.
After four years of substitutes, Germans naturally
hanker for a primitive square meal.
Extremes not only meet, these days—they col­
lide Absolute monarchy runs smash into absolute
anarchy.
Nobody has yet ventured to ask Count Bentinck
hp,\Lhe likes William Hohenzollern's accusation of
friendship.
This is just as good a time as any to suggest
that the new German republic adopt American as
its official language.
The German people will find it a lot harder to rid
themselves of the name "HUN" than it was to
ditch Bill Hohenzollern.
A Grand Rapids paper complains that locally the
"duty in nutshells has not been done." However,
it may be said in a nutshell that civilization has
done its duty.
Already a competition seems to be spring up
entitled "Who can suggest most ways of being
merciful to the beaten foe?" And the beaten foe,
in the very hour of defeat, was gassing and mur­
dering wtomen and children.
I. R., those initials after Bill's signature: A De
troit colyumist thinks they will now be changed
to "I Was." Th£ German people, however, are
simply wiping out the "Wilhelm" part of the sig­
nature and letting the initials stand for initiative
and referendum.

Dr. Fleming tells of the departure of
the Russian army and of the assassin­

left behind and of the wounding of
others, who were rushed to the hospi­

trouble between the Syrians and the
Turks, and animosity on the part of
Moslems toward the hospital, the Turks
claiming'the Christian Syrians could
not have defeated them without help
from the Americans.

Get Dr. Edwards* Olive Tablets
the substitute for calomeL
Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for
17 years tod calomel's old-time enemy,
discovered the formula for Olive Tablets
while treating patients for chronic con­
stipation and torpid livers.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, bat a healing, soothing
vegetable laxative. ..
No griping is the "keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets.
They cause the bowels and liver to act
normally. They never force them to
unnatural action.
If you have a "dark brawn mouth" now
and then— a bad breath a dull, tired
feeling—sick headache—torpid liver and

us came in wagons called furgans.
These are Russian springless wagons,

"Well, we traveled twenty days over­

CANNED MUSIC TO TUNE OF
MILLION RECORDS SOUGHT
"Canned music" fop" the entertain­
ment of our men in uniform, both
here and overseas, "caniied muklc" to
the tune of not less than a million
records and as many phonographs
with the complimentary paraphernalia
p,g it can cojnmendsfcr' out o| the
homes'of the nation—such is the big
goal set'for itself and its drive by
the National Phonograph Records 'Re­
cruiting corps, which has Major Gen­
eral J. Franklin Bell, U. S. A. for its
honorary chairman, and two hundred
of the most eminent men and women
in the country oh its national commit­
tee. Under the direction of Vivian
•Burnett, author and composer, who
investigated the needs in camps and
overseas, an effort is 'being made to
reach every home in the country
where there is a phonograph, and to
persuade the owner thereof to con­
tribute all of his idle or discarded
records asf a patriotic sacrifice for
the men in service. Besides the thou­
sands of men and women working on
thei 500 and more local committees,
15,000 music lovers and musicions are
joining in the effort not only to make
of the week a series of red letter
days in the annals of war time phil­
anthropy, but t6 keep a steady stream
of machines and records gfrtng from
the homes of tite country to the men
at the front thro^ehout the period ^of
the war.

music till they come back" to hear it
in their own homes."
Whether peace comes suddenly or
whether hostilities are prolonged the
need of the fighters for entertainment
will continue until the last unit has
been demobilized and eaok individual
soldier and sailpr has returned to evil
life. In the event of Germany sur­
rendering, our millions of soldters will
find themselves mewed up for months
in the enforced occupation of German
strongholds along the Ilhine. Then
there will be the long drawn out pro­
cess of demobilization after the final
victory is attained. In 'both these in­
stances the military authorities will
have upon their hands a''vast army
of men. resting on their arms, men
suddenly released from the inhibitions
of wartime activity, men craving
amusement, and relaxation, mental,
moral, physical. Such men will need
amusement as they neiver need it in
the stirring time of war, and not to
have the right sort of amusement
and plenty of it, will entail conse­
quences of the utmost seriousness to
the future welfare of the men, wheth­
er the lull is only an armistlc^ or the
forerunner of a permanent "peace. For
this reason the movement to collect
and send records will be continued un­
til the last American, troops have re­
turned'.to their homes.
In accepting his office as head of
the national committee, Ceneral Bell
wrote:
The person who gives a record to
the soldiers gives sdjnething thaut will
cheer and inspire them. At thei-front,
the fighters' need for music is recog­
nized and his officers see that he
gets it. Hundreds of phonographs are
in use, hut hundreds inore are needed.
The responsibility rests with the civ­
ilian forces iback of the line. KEEP
UP THE SUPPLY
Slacker record depots in Bismarck
are Cowan's drug store', Hoskins' and
Lenhart's. It is asked that records
contributed foe plainly marked "Slack­
