"THE TRUTH ABOUT NORTH DAKOTA"
After considering the matter further the Journal
has decided that those of its readers who have been be-
guiled into giving up some of their money to organizers
of the Nonpartisan League, and perhaps others to whom
the rosy stories might be appealing, ought to know "the
truth about North Dakota," or at least the other side of
the "{ruth" than that appearing in the Townley papers--
for that individual owns and controls, them all. Hence
the first of Brinton-Waters letters is published this week.
In this and those to follow the entire history of the Non-
partisan movement in North Dakota, what, it attempted
to do and its failures, where the vast sums of money col-
lected from the guileless farmers vent to, and the reasons
for the present decline and possible end of Townleyism
in that state at the coming election. The letter today is
merely the first lesson, as far as we in this state have
gotten, but it will be interesting in connecting up what
follows. The names of Brinton and Waters are familiar
to every league member, and they will know whether the
writers know what they are talking about or not. The
Journal does not vouch for either the men or the matter,
but will be as interested as its Nonpartisan readers in
following .the story.
It was marked at the Fishburne meeting Tuesday
night that the speaker neglected to "point with pride"
to anything in the record of the present administration,
either during the war or since, nor did he mention
"sugar."
-" FROSTY DAYS
We can appreciate the plight of the Democratic can-
didates from Cox downward in :this campaign in their
hopeless effort to redeem and continue the administra-
tion in power in the nation, and "deserving Democrats"
.in office. Governor 'Cox c0mpla'ined of the cool reception
he met with during his swing around the circle and the
lesser lights feel the chi!l wherever they go. Democrats
have lost confidence in,the Present arm realize that
there is no hope 6f briiging'6Z;der out <o haos by the
election of Cox. ' .... •
The truth is that the people '6f the country want a
change, demand it, and the-Democratio, speakers have
few talking points to combat:thegeneral.feeling, keep-]
ing away from the administration record particularly. !
Democrats are Americans first and are doubtful about]

Those seeking further light.on the, merits of the
Carlyon bonding bill will:be interested in the figures com-
iled by the county engineer's office, showing that,some
,000 wit! have been spent merely ,to ,maintain ,/the
Olympic Highway in Mason County in the present bi-
ennium. Those who have passed over th road :recently
know: what condition it is in 'and will realize that the
cost will be greater each succeeding year, absorbing still
more of the funds which should go to other badly needed
road work ,oer the County, , -,.,,,.:.,. :-,- , : ....... ,. .,,,.
..i',,:_ :MAKING MILLIONAIRES
It is claimed that thousands of millionaires were
made during 'the war, and it canrot:be doubted where so
much of'the people's bond money >was idly frittered
away. It must not be forgotten that all the waste and
all the so-called profiteexng, nbta!ofie during the rush
of war but m the calm since, has been during the Wilson
administration, which gained power on the plea of econ-
my. No such era of incompetency, lack of co-operation,
avoritism and graft has ever been made under any
previous administration in the history of the country.
It will not soon be forgotten that while all this was going
on our boys were in service and the patriotic people at
borne were denying themselves to buy bonds in support
of the boys.
:'': ...... A LEAGUE OF NATIONS .....
It will be agreed by those who are friendly to a
League of Nations that there exists not the remotest
possibility for President Wilson's League, and the elec-
tion of Cox will not advance the prospect for any league
an iota, but retard it. A trifling minority of the senate
favors the league covenant as the president brought it
back, and they are supported by about the same minor
portion of the electorate. The only hope for "league of
nations" depends on the election of Harding and a 3oin-
mg of hands and heads in a sensible consideration of the
uestion, in which the interests of Americans is predom-
nate. Whatever may come from the co-operation of the
next president and the senate will be cheerfully accep.ted
by our Allies, who never were "stuck on the Wilson thing
Iloh0w."

INDIGESTION i: I a ss i f i ed
Among bomb-throwers, anarchists
and criminals who plot against the
exist;ng government of the United
1
States, about nee out of every ten
who become involved in the clutches
of the law are men with foreign
names, and nearly all at these are
aliens--men who have never become
and do not intend to become citizens,
yet who desire to change our form
of government for us.
Beyond that, Mr. Lenine and the
Moscow Intrenationale make no se-
cre of their intention to encourage
and promote revolution in every
"capitalistic" country in the world,
which means practically all countries
except Bolshevik R u s s i a. Thus

• %:¢e seem to be in harmon., in the
enterprise of overturning the historic
government of this country, in con-
fiscating all property, depriving hon-
est men and women of their rights,
and in imposing a form of rabble
government upon us that we do not
want.
Under the circumstances it is not a
good season to open wide the doors
of America to foreign immigration.
Conditions in the United States fol-
lowing the breaking out of the war
indicated that we were far from as-
similating all the immigrants who
arrived in the country during the
'preceding ten years; that hundreds
of thousands of them were colonized
in the larger cities among people
who spoke their homeland langnage,
and that many of them had remain-
ed foreign to the American language,
ideas and principles, even after a
residence here of years.
Just now special efforts are being
made to Americanize these delayed
and backward citizens. It will re-
