FRIDAY. APRIL 4, 1919.
PORTM ASTER GENERAL BURLESON has
endeared himself to the public again by
ordering a raise of twenty per cent in
telegraph rates. If he keeps on he
will become the most popular man of
the cabinet, we don’t think.
Put the corn crop into the silo and
the barley crop into the feed bin. This
is more economical than using corn at
present prices, says G. C. Humphrey,
in charge of the dairy herd at the Wis
consin College of Agriculture. Barley
at 85 cents a bushel costs $1.77 a hun
dredweight; corn at $1.35 a bushel costs
$2.41 a hundredweight. At these prices
barley, which contains 9 per cent di
gestible protein and 79.4 per cent total
digestible nutrients, is the more econ
omical feed.
Seems mighty odd if Uncle Sam can
guarantee the prices on wheat and oth
er commodities that he can’t guarantee
the price on Liberty bonds. There
should be a law passed forbidding the
selling or offering for sale of a Liberty
bond of any issue at less than par, like
wise there should be a law against buy
ing or seeking to purchase a Liberty
bond at less than face value. We fix
prices on everything else, why not fix
E rices on Liberty bonds? It makes our
lood boil to read advertisements offer
ing “market” value for Liberty bonds.
—Ashland Press.
The sth Liberty Loan drive, which
will be known as the Victory Liberty
Loan, will, according to a statement
made on March 12th by Carter Glass,
secretary of the treasury, be opened on
Monday, April 21st, will last lor three
weeks and will end on Saturday, May
10th. This is expected to be the last
liberty loan undertaken by the govern
ment. The amount of the loan and the
rate of interest have not yet been an
nounced by the treasury department.
This issue of government liberty secur
ities will consist of short-term notes
rather than long-term bonds, such as
were issued during the first four Lib
erty Loan drives.
lowa has taken hold of its primary
election law by both ears and is yank
ing the miserable thing out of its stat
utes, Our crippled and diseased con
trivance is permitted to take up space
in our statutes because, and only be
cause, it is the bridge that carried most
of our legislators into prominence.
lowa is satisfied that any law so viola
tive of the rule of reason and common
sense, as the primary law admittedly
is, should not be permitted to slumber
in its statutes lest it may contaminate
and afflict the whole body of its laws.
The primary law has been tried and
proven worthless. It is in dispute in
every state where it h.is been tested.
We retain it only because those having
the power to repeal it dare not for fear
of repealing themselves.

Eight “lame ducks,” retired.from
Congress, have been taken care of re
cently and are now drawing 'good sal
aries. All of these, except one, are
Democrats, The exception is Repre
sentative Henry Allen Cooper, author
of the Cooper Embargo Amendment to
the Armed Neutrality bill, who refused
to support his successful competitor
for the Republican congressional nom
ination after his defeat in the primar
ies. Hamlin of Missouri, .Keating of
Colorado and Cooper of Wisconsin go
on a commission appointed to begin a
reclassification of salaries in the Dis
trict of Columbia. They will receive
for this work the same salaries they
got in Congress, or $626 a month.
Why is it that Mexico, a country
which approaches the United States in
natural resources, is bankrupt as a na
tion, while the United States is the
richest country on the globe? It is be
cause the United States has had a
stable government and the people have
been able to make orderly progredi.
Travelers tell us that there are mil
lions of acres of agricultural land in
Siberia, the equal of the best in Indi
ana, lowa or Illinois. These lands can
be bought for a song. Why is it? Be
cause. under the government of Amer
ica, the people have been permitted to
develop their resources. Because great
transportation lines have been laid
down so that the products of our farms
everywhere can reach a market. Be
cause we have a government under
which life, liberty and property are se
cure.
Perhaps the most grossly partisan
law ever enacted by a state legislature
was that enacted at the direction of
the Non-Partisan party caucus by the
North Dakota legislatura providing for
the withdrawal of all legal printing
from every newspaper in the state not
of the persuasion of the party in power.
This law provides for the concentration
of all legal printing, public and private,
in one newspaper in each county to be
politically designated. Another law,
similarly inspired, provides an appro
priation of two hundred thousand dol
lars a year to be used in propaganda in
behalf of the present state administra
tion, legislative and administrative, in
North Dakota, justified on the ground
that it is intended to promote immigra
tion. Defense of the administration,
of course, involves defense of the pol
icies espoused by the party in power in \
North Dakota, and the measure simply j
means that all the people of the state, !
no matter to what party they belong,
are to be taxed to pay the campaign
bills of the party in power. No polit
ical party in this country ever before
undertook to use the puhlic treasury
for such a purpose. The experiment
of putting some twenty million dollars
provided by placing a mortgage on all
the property of all the people of North
Dakota into the hands or the office
holding politicians, to be used by them
in conducting banking, merchandising
and other business enterprises, is now
on. The people of North Dakota will
soon be able to judge whether these
enterprises are to be conducted in the
same spirit which has inspired the law
subsidizing the local organs of the*
party in power and that using the peo
ple’s money to carry forward partisan
propaganda.

It has been announced that the
American delegates at Paris have ex
pressed their willingness to settle Amer
ica’s claims against Germany by allow
ing her to retain all alien property
seized here by the alien property cus
todian. It appears that the United
States will not ask for further repara
tion. The total value of this property
is said to he about $800,000,000.
AT THE LYRIC
“Let’s Get a Divorce” presenting
Billie Burke will be the attraction at
the Lyric Theatre Thursday night
(tonite). The story is of a girl with
a romantic nature who lives in a
convent in Southern France and who
secretly indulges in harmless flirita
tions. She weds a student and later,
when she believes she loves another
man she begs her husband for a di
vorce. He apparently consents to
this, but the wife finally realizes her
error and becomes a loving practical
minded woman. A fine comedy dra
ma.
“Nearly Married,” taken from the
popular play will be shown on Sat
urday. This comedy drama gives
Madge Kennedy many opportunities
to display her boyant personality and
abilities a comedienne.
The plot of “The Belle of New
York,” is built around a young fickle
spendthrift who meets his fate in a
Salvation Army lass, after he has
been turned out by his parents and
scorned by his friends. The lassie
takes him under her wing and before
she completes her plans for his re
formation she herself becomes “The
Belle of New York.” Marion Davies
plays the star role assisted by Ray
mond Bloomer and the world famous
Ziegfeld beauty chorus. This star
production will be shown Monday.
Peggy Hyland in “Bonnie Annie
Laurie,” a Scottish tale of patrio
tism and love will be shown on Tues
day.
