TEST STREGTH
NON-PARTISAN
REFERENDUMS
,_ p
FARGO, N. D., June 18 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The first direct test of
the National Nonpartisan League’s in
dustrial program will take place June
26 when a special referendum election
will be held on seven of the league’s
measure passed by the North Dakota
legislature.
Interest centers chiefly upon the in
dustrial commission bill and the act
providing for establishment of the
Bank of North Dakota, both of which
are vital to the entire program.
The industrial commission bill pro
vides for a c<j*nmission which would
control the state-owned industries to
be established. The Bank of North
Dakota would provide funds for carry
ing out the program. League support
ers say failure of either measure
would disrupt the program.
The other bills to be voted upon
deal with education, taxation, state
printing, emigration and judicial re
districting.
The referendum election was called
by Governor Frazier after circulation
by the Independent Voters’ Associa
tion. The association also circulated
petitions for the initiation of a mill
and elevator association law, a non
partisan election law, rural credits law
and a home building law, the initiative
election to be held simultaneously with
the referendum. These measures, with
the exception of the non-partisan elec
tion law, are included in the league
program.
The initiative petitions contained
more than twice the number of signa
tures necessary but Governor Frazier
held tha tthe Association’s effort to
have the refenedum and intiative held
on the same date was merely an at
tempt to confuse the issue. Then he
named June 26 as the date for the ref
erendum. The constitution requires
that initiative petitions be filed 90
days before an election. The initiative
petitions were not filed until late in
April.

Love Laughs Also at Policemen and Detectives
LIBERTY, MO.—Intercepted love letters that caused an estrangement, an
other meeting through an Item In a newspaper, thousand-mile telephone
conversations and clever evasion of a police and detective system are elements
In the romance of Carl Hinton of Den
ver and Miss Elizabeth Ramson, who
eloped from. Kansas City and were
married here In the same courthouse
where they met seven years ago.
The bride Is the daughter of John
R. Ramson, police commissioner of
Kansag City. Miss Ramson gave
promise of being a great singer. A
career was mapped out for her. Her
parents were determined that she
should sing, and although they had no
objection to Carl Hinton of Denver,
whom she had met at a reunion of Sons of Confederate Veterans of which he
was president, they made a hard and fast rule against marriage.
The rule was made several years ago, when Miss Ramson was still In
school and Mr. Hinton was an officer In the National Guard of New Mexico.
Hinton went away to the border, and the letters which he wrote to Miss Ram
son In Kansas City were unanswered.
Last summer the Ramsons went to Colorado for a vacation. While In
Denver she read an Item of news about Mr. Hinton, who had returned from
army service, and a meeting was arranged.
Began again the romance which had been blasted by the Intervention of
Kansas City’s detective system. The parents, as a last resort, arranged for
their daughter to go abroad.
Miss Ramson called Mr. Hinton In Denver on the telephone from Kansas
City. .
"It must be tomorrow or never,” she told him, and he caught the next
train. He came here, for Papa Ramson’s detectives were watching for him at
Kansas City and Miss Ramson drove here in her car.
Love laughs at locksmiths, policemen and detectives.
“It Is Hard to Find Words to Paint
German Portrait Black Enough”
By JOHN BURROUGHS
Such a fighting machine as the Germans turned out the world never
before had seen. The tread of their armies seemed to make the world
tremble. But lacking moral force, lacking a worthy cause, bent only on
murder and arson and pillage, void of enthusiasm for human weal and
human rights, they Ijad no sustaining power, and went to pieces on the
moral purpose of the enemy as the waves break upon the granite rocks.
An empire in ruin is what we now behold. The vulture devours its own
vitals.
It is hard to find words to paint the German portrait black enough.
Let any fair-minded, cool-headed man sit down and try dispassionately
to think of the deeds they have been guilty of in this war, and see if he
does not grow hotter and hotter the longer he thinks.
There are still 70,000,000 Germans all unrepentant. In a few gen
erations there will be 100,000,000 of them, and they will not have changed
for the good one iota. Their porcine propensities and unscrupulous char
acter will remain unabated. They are of the earth earthy. They wallow
in materialism; they have ceased to produce literature, art, music or
philosophy; they have run all to materialism for the past two or three
generations, and to expect any radical change in them is to expect the
serpent to walk upright or to forget to use its fangs.
