The economists have it all figured out, and| they can show you by tiresome facts and fi igures| just why the good times that will follow the sign-} ing of the peace treaty will be the best this coun- try has ever known. But you don’t have to be an economist to know | it. All you have to do is to look, first, at history, and find that every great war ever fought was! followed first by a period of readjustment and r | construction, and then by an era of great pros- | perity. ‘ + y Then come down to the present and look at Europe, and the contrast it presents to this coun-| try.

The richest country on earth, with every other | large nation in our debt and paying us big interest.

D. VOTERS In relation to the economic issues which are now before the people of North Dakota the voters may be classified into four great general groups, their position being fixed by their attitude on pending issues. - In one class may be placed those who are thor- oughly committed to the socialistic program which has been put forth and to the socialistic leader- | ship which has attempted to control the affairs of the state. In the‘attitude of these people, more! \is involved that the mere consideration of eco- nomic questions, ‘There is in addition the ques- tion of political leadership and of the right of the| individual to form and act upon his own opinions. This independence of thought and action is denied by the socialistic leaders to their followers. Mr. Townley is a dictator, and his dictation is accepted in full by a very considerable number of people. Hence, when in addition to what is known as the league program, which is entirely economic, there| was presented a program never publicly discussed and never publicly considered, but backed by the authority of Mr. Townley, the additions were ac- cepted by these followers of his without question, just as many other proposals of his would have been unquestionably accepted. The voters in this group are for the entire economic program pro- n presented. In another group are those adherents of the] # Nonpartisan league who believe in the socializa- tion of many of the miportant industries of the state, who accepted in full the original league pro- gram and even some of the expansions which have bene given to it in recent months, but who insist on their right to their own independent judgment; who do not recognize the authority of Mr. Townley to dictate to them; and who are opposed to some of the legislation which he has forced upon the state and which forms no part of the original pro- gram of the Nonpartisan league. In the third group are those not necessarily or usually connected with the Nonpartisan league and who recognize no authority on the part of Mr. Townley or any other outsider, and who aré reluc- tant to see the state plunge deeply into state ownership of utilities until the matter has been tested more fully in actual practice. These voters in the main are in favor of the establishment of a state terminal elevator or elevators, possibly of flour mills, but at this time they would go no fur- ther in this direction. Their position is that there is no pressing need for a further ‘entry into state socialism and that in the operation of the utilities which they favor knowledge can be gained which will be usefuNater on in demonstrating the advis- ability or unadvisability of further progress in this direction. In the last group are those who are opposed to the entire socialistic program, maintaining as they do that the business of the state can be and should be conducted by the individuals of the state; that it is not necessary for the state to go into commer- cial business; and that legally dnd commercially the activities of the state should’be confined to the management of its governmental affairs, except where vital interests make a variation from that program necessary.—Grand Forks Herald. © Thousands of wise apple growers, men with ”_|first hand information tell us, has more things | that can happen to it, all of them highly disagree- But few men have the capital, and patience, to { { MONDAY, ‘APRIL’ 7, 1919, GYDDAP! a satsanpiels os and took a Took went over to hér ghas at herself. ‘The tumbled, tear-wet, panting object she saw there was another creature from the last.

O’HARE WAS CONVICTED (Continued from Page One.) eomposed of the usual sprinkling of s, trades and professions, neluding farmers, At least three of the, members of the jury which tried . O’Hare were farmers and mem of the Nonpartisan league. jority’ of the others were small men from little villages di- rectly responsive to the farm popula- iion, which was largely pro-league. The jury was regarded at the time as unusually well-balanced and,represen- tative, and if it was believed to have leanings in either direction it was to- ward the league, as would be natural {in a state where the league was in full nower at che time. Bowman Polities James C. James, the principal wit- ness for the government, is said by those familiar with Bowman politics to not be especially friendly with Phe- lan in any sense and to be in no par- ticular a political protege of the Bow- man banker. Dr. W. H. Whittemore was at the time a member of the state board of education by avpoint- ment from Governor Frazier, Nonpar- tisan, and was not considered a Phelan adhereht. George Olson, whose testi- mony was not particularly material, was an employe of Phelan as man- ager of a Bowman elevator. It is probable that eight witnesses for the defense did swear that Mrs. O'Hare did not make the' statement charged with the intent alleged in the ndictment. As many witnesses for che ‘goverment swore that she did. Mrs, O’Hare in her own statement admitted having made one of the assertions alleged, but stated that her meaning had been distorted in the in- + er mm that you're going to do} dictment.

Any one watching him could have seen that a momentous question was gling within him trying to get tts asked, It is possible that Celia, with- out looking at him at all, was aware of this. : It broke through at last. He said unevenly, “Celia, do you mean that you're still fond of me without: -with- out any of the things that were 4 part of me when we Were married? And that you won't mind coming down to twenty-five dollars a week with me? Is that what you mean?"
