We know there are many foreigners
in North Dakota who have not been
through the "melting pot" of educa-
tion in regard to American ideals and
initutions: we know there are many
people who have been accustomed to
alcohol, who want it and will go any
lengths to obtain it; we know there
are young people who consider it,
"smart" to take a drink: we know
there are organizations which-should
be respected and revered but which
have brok,n their pledges of loyalty
and patriotism mad are on the way o
being nsicered a menace initead
of an honor to the community in
which they exist. A1 these are easy
prey fox the wet forces.
Shortly after the Jones-Stalker law
became operative a reporter of a big
city newspaper went around to tht,
haunts of the bootleggers and inter-
viewed them on the subject of the new
me.sure. Naturally they were feel-
ing much depressed over the out-
look. One of the comments of a deal-
er in illicit liquors was "This act
a't for us Amercas". Those who
have imagined they were real Ameri-
cans may be a little startled at" this
bootlegger's claim. It may lead them
to think as to whether, in certain
quarters, ,here is a tendency to turn
over the affairs of the nation to peo-
ple alien to the ideals of this repub-
lic.

try that has come to believe that %]

say even Congressmen and Presi-

wets axe saying "This law ain't for
us Americans". Did you chance tel
notice the names of those 18 legisla-
tors who promoted our recent wet re-
ferendum? I do not mean to insinu-
ate that' all men bearing foretgu
names are alien to the best Ameri-
can instutions and ideas--far from it.
It am foreign born myself and many
of our most respected citizens are
such--but one reason for the present
non-observance of law is that real
Americans who believe ha law and
abide by it fail to realize ,the neces-
sity of doing their part in seeing that
k)thers also obey it. They permit
psendo-Americans to settle such ques-
tions.
Let us remember, "Every citizen has
personal dUty in it (enforcement)---
the duty to order his own actions, to
so w,eigh the effect of his example.
that his conduct shall be a positive
force in his community with respect
to the law."
If every real Americana in this
community would do this our status
would be imoroved immeasurably.

THF,00 MER( HANT and
THE COMMUNITY
Do you realize how badly we would fare if our merchants had to go out of
business and leave us dependent upon mail orders or stores miles away from home?
People are beginning to consider the fact that, after all, they owe a dept to
their home merchants. The man who makes it Possible for "us to get what we
want when we want it is entitled to consideration for the service he gladl? renders
his fellow citizens.
Now, since we are to work for the growth and welfare of'PARK RIVER, let
us first support the merchant who plays a vital part in the development of our
community.
The man or woman who is not outspoken for his or her Home Town is against
it. What attitude you take toward IRK RIVER and its merchants has much to
do with the reputation and standing of our community among our ontside friends.
, The merchant isneeded to bring your town into its own.
