Broadly speaking, they may be di- vided into two generic groups: The farmer who farms the farmer; and. again, the farmer who tills the soil who uses his brains and the activities of his mind and body to produce the crops that grow out of the ground, and Who stands up manfully when come: fmes of anxiety and peril and uses Gewese like this: us stand together as a man; raise every kernel of wheat we can raise, and, when the war is over, let us bring in our ac- counting if we have an account to bring.” We quote from an address by W. K. | ‘ioseley, of Dickinson county in a rence in this city the other day h Charles J. Brand, of the markets eud grading bureau of the agricultur-| ai department at Washington. And we quote it because it is the message of the real farmer and not. the farmer whos@-harvest is the spoils of politics. And agaip referring to the real far-| mer there convenes in this city today | istration permits a meeting of the North Dakota Farm- ers’ Educational and Co-operative Un-| ion, an organization founded in Bis- marck three years ago, and which through its merits and virtues has | such. clear exposition of the condl- spread into twenty-seven states and in its national scope embraces a mem- bership of some five million farmers whose object it is to assist each other| in buying and selling, to inculcate scientific methods and to bring farm-| ing ina business and commercial! sense up to the standards of the more co-ordinated callings. As a constructive organization the union has already been the source of much good not only to North Dakota but to the country at large. It is fol- lowing the course which leads to a greater future. WORD TO THE WISE. When we read about the drastic pro- ceedings of the governments of Great Britain, Canada, Australia, France and Italy, we must admit that, thus far, we have only been playing at economy and conservation. We have saved some fuel and eaten a little less of sugar and bacon. and more of corn meal. But most of us‘are still prac- itcally on a basis of pleasure and busi- ness as usual. F It is to be a long war. Russia tes- tifies to this. The stalemates on near- ly all the battlefronts testify to it. Germany has finally got to be licked in Germany. : Thus far, our government has, large- ly, merely asked. It will have to com- pel and commandeer. If the above assertions are true, the | wise manufacturer who is geared up| to produce only non-essentials, will consider converting his plant to more essential use, and the wise store keep- 4g vote. {jing ai "| she’s got to; *| means that America*has got to make | such suspicion and, consequently, lose | liquors. more nearly confined to ‘the essen- tials. There may long be business as us- ual, but when our people confront the n sity now facing foreign peoples, it will be a different business. PRO-GERMAN SOCIALISM AND PATRIOTISM. ‘Those who fear the growth of social- ism during the war might take a tip from the American Federation of La- hor. For years the socialists in the organized labor movement have been trying to capture the Federation. At the recent meeting in Buffalo members of the Federation didn’t di- vide into democrats, republicans and socialists; they divided on the lines of loyalty and pro-German so And pro-German socialism didn’t have a look-in. The socialist vote will grow during the war. the pro-German element of the Amer- ican socialist party captured the St louis convention and inveighed of Hillquit, Berger and Germer the majority took a stand that helps kai- serism, and drove from the party such men as Russell, Walling, Spargo, i Phelps Stokes, Sinclair and other pro: American socialists. ism is licked. - Quite naturally pacifists, and the disloyal element among so-called German-Americans will vote with the party that lends the most aid and comfort to the en emy, and that will swell the socialist But if the loyal, pro-American | vote in other elections during the war has sense enough to vote as Ameri ,; cans rather than as narrow partisans, the kaiser’s sympathizers in this coun try will be licked to a frazzle. If ever there was a time when real Americans should stand together in dustrially, financially, commercially and politically, that time is now. The people can well afford to lay aside partisanship and stand by every mar | who stands by the president and the | flag. SOME ARE ALARMED. Floyd Gibbons, a highly capable in vestigator’and writer, now represent: o Tribune at the front in Fi e, hap written, line ‘of. | eral Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, which, the judge publishes and in which Mr Gibbons reports that thinking Ameri cans in Europe are now asking, “Are we going to lick Germany?” +@ibbons- says, that America hasn't accompiished one-tenth of what that the Kussian fiasco much greater effort or surely be beat- en, and that “the fact is that the Hun is at the gate, and now it is the American gate, our gate.” He ‘con, cludes by saying that we know we ‘will never win this war by jabbing oursélyes with a morphine needle and then raving about what an awful wal- lop we are going to land on the boche. In his opinion the view is alarming and ought to be alarming. The tone of Mr. Gibbons’ letter is not more remarkable than that the ‘letter ever got by the censor. letter is somewhat in corroboration of the suspicion that the real status of war affairs is being concealed from the people and for that reason {ft sounds almost treasonable. It is the easiest thing in the world to promote of public confidence, and, if the admin- general publication of matter of this character, it makes a very serious mistake in not pre- senting,! clearly and definitely, the exact conditions, up to the limit. One tions would ‘be worth more than a whole year of weekly statements of what cabinet members think of the war’s progress. The folk are also thinking, and they want to think straight. East Africa is cleared of Germans. The kaiser loses a nice little farm of 384,000 square miles. Ninety-four millions for navy aero- nautics and a billion and thirty-two millions for army aviation! Hear it, kaiser? About eight times as many married as unmarried men pay income tax. Oh, keep still, girls! We're not knock- ing Cupid. We would. like a London cablegrain telling how loud old Wm. Waldort Astor, ex-American, is howling for peace a la Lansdowne. Keientific American calls Russia “a kaleidoscepe.” Viewing the way heads and tails change ends, over there, it looks to us like a cat fight. Head of the Deutsche bank of Ber- lin says that the Germans are saving three billion dollars annually of what | they used to spend for beer and The Bolsheviki put some humor in- to the blcody business. They ask Ger- many not to send her forces from the Russian front to the fronts “of the That is to be expected, for against the war.

TOLD OF FATE SUNDAY. The condemned negroes had I. .own of their fate since Sunday. Twelve of them sought spiritual consolation of army Y. M. C. A. workers. The thir- teenth gave no inkling that he knew. Outwardly all of the negroes were stoical. They did not know the date of the execution, but last night they were taken from the cavalry guard- house, where they have beén prison- ers more than a month, and placed in separate barracks. EXECUTION IN SECRET. Aside from less than a dozen offic- ers of the southern department and the city or the army camps knew of the execution, date or place. The other negroe defendants were ignorant of the fate of their companions until after the formal announcement had been made. GUARD SUMMONED SI/ENTLY. The condemned men were aroused this morning a few minutes lefore regular ‘army reveille, 5:30 o'clock. The military guard had been sum- moned silently.and no sound was heard in the camp where nearly forty thousand men were sleeping except the purring of the army truck motors awaiting their loads. The negroes dressed in their regular uniforms as carefully as for inspection. HYMN A DEATH CHANT. The negroes executed displayed neither bravado nor fear. They rode to the execution singing a hymn, but: the singing was as that of soldiers on the march Arrived at the clearing, HANGED AT SUN RISE.FOR THE —AURDER OF HOUSTON CITIZENS IN STREET RIOTS OF AUGUST as an 1 raed Re ‘the-traps. morning clouds, the bleak landscape’ es which have been built near a swim- | the sheriff of Bexar county, no one in’ e Hour Until Summoned by Guard to Prepare for the End—Dozen Officers and Sheriff Only.

HARBOR OF LFA Hardy Crew of Portsmouth Fire Fighters Dispose of New Danger Source. MONT BLANC EXPLOSION LAI DTO CARELESSNESS Halifax, Dec. 12—With complete disregard for their own lives, in an effort to save this desolated city from another catastrophe, a group of Dart- mouth citizens early today boarded a steamship said to have been laden with munitions, which was afire and was being abandoned hastily by her crew, The vessel carried a deck. load of oil and as she came in close to shore with smoke pouring from her super- structure, the sight of her fleeing crew stirred the watchers ashore to prompt action. A volunteer fire lighting force was quickly organized and the burning ship was boarded. tinguished. Imo Survivors Talk. According to statements obtained today from survivors of the Norweg- ian steamer Imo, which collided with the Mont Blanc, the latter ship flew no red flag to indicate that she carried a cargo of explosives. They also de- clared they were not aware that the Mont ‘Blanc was munitions laden and that when they saw ‘her crew run- ning away they thought it was due to the fire and not fear of an explosion. ‘They asserted the Mont Blanc was coming into the harbor on the wrong side when the collision occurred. A man who survived the explosion was found among the ruins today. He had been caught between two beams at the North street railway station, and beyond a few bruises was unhurt. Cleaning the Streets. The city’s workers today began the task of clearing the streets of thous- lands of tons of broken glass. Inter- menis took place all day at the cem- cteries. The American hospital and relief | units were working full blast today. Mnough supplies have been received to relieve distress. American surgeons are still picking | the broken fragments from the faces, yes and heads of hundreds, many of whom may be marked for life or lind. Surgeons took stock today and found that glass wounds predominat- ed. Hundreds of telegrams from the United States have been received ask- ing the fate of friends here. Not one could be answered promptly for telegraph service has ‘ been greatly handicapped.

BUMPS; Tenor of Editorials Appearing in Townley Organs Would In. dicate ‘‘Nix Cum Arous.’’ Something apparently has come be- tween the Nonpartisan league and Senator Asle J. Gronna, of Lakota. Not long ago a very cordial entente seemed to exist between North Da- kota’s most prominent pacifist and the league. If comments of league coun- try newspapers are any criterion, Gronna_ has gone and done something that didn’t suit someone, and he’s no longer in the good graces of the Townleyites. Dave Larin, editor of the Parshall Leader, has been decidedly pro-league. Occasionally he comes out and takes a two-fisted wallop at some league ac- tion that doesn’t appeal to him, but by and large he has been a very satis- factory supporter of Townleyism. He pays his respects to Gronna in the following: “These are sad days for ‘Me-Too’ Senator Gronna. State Superintend- ent Macdonald refused to appear on home town of Lakota, with the result that Gronna was dropped. Think of it —United States senator—home town —flipped from a program in which he was to appear, because a state official disdains his presence! Our state sup-! erintendent properly resented any taint to his loyalty,+that is all wool: and a yard wide.” And the Nelson County Observer, which has been giving space to league editorials and cartoons of the canned variety, says: “Is there a Bolsheviki in America?’ From rumors in Lakota social circles it is gathered that LaFollette is to be president and Gronna secretary of MARKET LIQUIDATION Leading Rails Drop to the Lowest REGISTER MARKED DECLINE New York, Dec. 11.—Another wave the stock market today, causing losses of three in many issues.

OATS FOLLOWS CORN IN UPWARD IMPULSE Chicago, Ills., Dec. 11.—Assertions that but little actual relief from car scarcity had yet been witnessed gave bulls an advantage today in the corn market. Prices closed firm, % to % cent net higher, with $1.21% and May $1.19% Jo. $1.19%%. Oats gained % to 14@1%' Provisions finished unchanged to 200 lower. S| Offerings of corn proved exceeding: ly small, as the railroads were appar- tently crippled by the prevailing cold weather. Moreover, opinion seemed general that no increase of arrivals would take place until better weather conditions afforded material help to railroad efficiency, under such cir- cumstances the market hardened from the outset, and bullish sentiment was further emphasized by correct antict- | pitations that the final government es- timates of the crop would show a fall- ing off as compared with the last prev- ious official reports. Oats, like corn, received an upward impulse from the unfavorable weather and from the curtailment of receipts. The reduction of the government crop estimate was not expected but the an- nouncement of the new total came too late to be a market factor. Provisions advanced with grain, but later underwent a sag on account of realizing by holders. “The selling was associated with predictions o f some increase in the hog movement. f 5 CHICAGO GRAIN Option Open High Low Close - Corn— Jan. ....1.20% 1.21% 1.205% 1.21% May ....1198% 1.19% 1.18& 1.19% Oats— Dee. 12% .744% 72% = 73% - May 10% = =.71% 705 LT MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

Just when is not known, but the report is that Senator Gronna will {soon live permanently in Washing- ton.” This comes from Senator Gronna’s home town. The league press is filled with edi- torial expressions of a similar nature, all of which indicate that the league is resolved to prove its patriotism, even at the expense of Gronna, or that it has a candidate of its own for Gron- na’s toga and is beginning now to un- | dermine the Lakota man's chances of going back four years hence. Coahulia In State Of Revolt Eagle Pass, Texas, Dec. 12—The Mexican state of Coahuila apparently is in a state of revolution with Luis | Guitterez leading the revolt. Monc- tovia, 150 miles south of the border and Musquiz, 70 miles south of Pie- dras Negras, opposite Eagle Pass, were captured from the federals to- day. The revolutionists tonight are reported marching on Piedras Negras. The cause of the revolt is that in the recent elections Luis Guitterez ; was elected governor of Coahuila, but was not permitted to take his seat, it is aleged, by Carranza authorities. Guitterez, it is said, had no trouble in winning the people over to his cause. We are showing the largest and most beautiful line of neckties and silk mufflers shown west of the Twin Cities. S. E.
