This kind of petanentlbe stored for any tof tue. So the state de dsh on the mine operations day to day. bier declajed that the es must not close because business and comfort of the bie of the state were at le, and that if the miners operators could not agree ptate would take over the e staeuring his term of of president Roosevelt put a ilar proposition before the thracite coal operators, but it never tarried out. The lignite operators may te thought the governor of orth Dakota was bluffing, for ey let the time limit pass. jer then declared martial Sthroughout the state and lared that the state had tak possession of the mines. The ners can thus return to work employes of the state of 'orth Dakota. The move is of great signifi ce and will make North Da ota even more of a battle und between the people and special interests than it is . w. Throughout the country kers and writers will com re it with the act of the fed ral government in ordering free men back to workt for pri vate employers. Not only will orth Dakota solve its coal shortage problem, but the above comparison will reflect much redit on the democratic admin istration in that farmer-ruled state. C While the stock of titles of t nobility, royal orders, etc., is t falling in Europe, these things r appear to be much sought after I by a good many on this side of r the water. The Guaranty Trust I company of New York, for in- I stance, sends a letter to the , press throughout the United I States announcing that its , president has been honored by t King Albert with the cross of 1 the Order of Leopold II. Baron I de Cartier is said to have made I the presentation in person. Insofar as Americanism can , be interpreted from our Consti- 1 tution, such a thing is some- i thing to be ashamed of here 4 rather than to be bragged about. Article I of that docu ment reads: "No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States, and no person holding any office of profit and trust under them shall, without the consent of the congress, accept any present, emolument, office or title of any kind whatever, from any king, prince or foreign state." The trust company president is only a private citizen and thus Viohtes only the American Spirit, but a number of our ar aiy ard navy officers have done precisely w hat the Constitution forbids; This article of the Con stitutioni has not been amended, nor has the spirit of the plain people of America changed. The gewgaws of European royalty l0k good only to those who have nothing more to gain in te circles of American plutoc rac;", Acti(nl of Mine Workers " offi cals in calling off the strike in dience to the government's infunctionj mnay be a mistake or a ofise move. The rank and file of the workers are likely to see itas a urig] ender. of an element teright to perverted legal tac tics, On the other hand, the issue Was being forced by the wall street interests at this tmne, With subservient po Clans in control at Washington they saw a good chance of out alling and destroying, not so Cal radicals, but all labor or ganizations Perhaps it is well not to let the enemy set the me of battle? laIf the mine workers in some lcities refuse to obey the na ional othicers under the impres 8101 that they were coerced with fear of imprisonment a dlieeal of violence is probable. to a ernentplans evidently adto aretall leaders of the men 4tostrengthen its spy sys tern. But evil ark of spies and 'gunmen, whi lay1 a big part in the steel Ve hardly probable ii this case, cause as a mattes of business the mine op tos4auprofit by a shortage at tua time. The anti-labor efforts will be in the direction of breaking up the union rather than operation of the mines. A new plan to settle the Irish question is anbounced, by the Lloyd vGeorge ministry. The provmne of Ulster is to have one pailiament, sitting at-BA fast; the rest of the provinces will hae another, sitting at Dub lin. The two are to be united into a common council with equal power to legislate on gen eral matters. 0/ To the outsider this might look look like a real offer of set tlement, especially if one in clines to the idea that Ireland is hopelessly divided on the re ligious issue. But the Irish ap pear to regard the new plan as what Americans call "just as good legislation." British army and navy .con trol is to remain. Britain will undoubtedly manage to retain the control of customs, excise duties and trade relations, which furnish the fundamental bone of contention in the Irish question. By subsidizing the minority in Ulster with a few favors, England will be able by this plan to keep her business domination over Ireland. The religious question is a handy thing for the English ruling class, for by fanning it proper ly they can apply the old strate gy of "divide and rule." Secretary Houston has a lit- t tie vest pocket organization la which can make a lot. of mis- ei chief and misinformation for h' farmers. It is known as the Na- « tional Association of Agricul- s( tural Commissioners, the com- c missioners being political office holders who feed at the old-par ty trough. They are holding a convention at Chicago now and their first move was to attack and denounce organized labor. "Optimism marked an d ad dress by Secretary of Agricul ture David F. Houston," says the news report. But the opti mism appears to consist of the a belief that shipping would soon k return to normal and permit a Europe to turn to former mar- ' kets. Food ;prices would then go down here because our ex ports would be lower. How any one could suck optimism from these statements, and especially h before a gathering of farmers, e is beyond ordinary reasoning e power. It is a safe bet that this con vention of "representatives of c farmers of every state in the Union," as the controlled press I describes them, will have noth ing to say about- the unprincipl ed. raid on returns to the farm er on farm products, nothing about profiteering, nothing of d market reform, nothing about serious efforts to keep our Euro pean market for farm products. f They will say a lot of things for t the farmer which the special I r interest want the farmer to say at this time. b America has just witnessed f Sa most radical change of nation 1 al policy. In the past two weeks - thousands of persons have been 3 arrested for "advocating radi i cal ideals" and tons of the little - pamphlets and papers paid for by the pennies of the poor have i been confiscated. Most of the e arrested persons will be liberat 7 ed, of course, because they have , committed no indictable offense. i Some who happened to be born - abroad and who have been try ing to take an intelligent part in building up public opinion - here, will. be deported. The r number of persons planning vio- 1 s lent revolution in the United r States is negligible except in 1 e the minds of guilt-coniscious plu e tocrats. Labor leaders see in the move e a new menace. The unconstitu e tional practices established un- I s der the cloak of "getting" peo t- pie whose views do not angree ri with the majority, can be quick ,- ly turned against any persons F the policians do not happen to --like. Our forefathers had long I1 experience with just this kind e of gradual approach to intoe able tyranny and that is why they wrote into the Constitu-' e tion: L- "Congreas shall mike no law e- respecting an establishment of, d religion or prohibitinig th free a exercise thereof; or abridging n.th freaedhlu t assembe oritope i.tition the goveramflent for a re era t the testimony of ti, wtasses Ai the same overt act, or oý am - fessior in open court." The mere preaching of radical dae trixies could by no stretch of the imagination be called an - overt act, and it is significant that.the supihne court of the United States has avoided passing on the constitutionality of the es pionage act. MEDICINE LAKE PIONEER DIES AT WILLISTON Medicine Lake Wave: Michael Kenendy died at the Williston hospital last Sunday, November 9th. The body arrived here Thursday.
