Young was speaking at Lien town- ship recently, he was heckled by Frank Prater, member of Townley’s secret caucus and signer of pledges to do his bidding. He sat on the front seat and kept a rapid cross fire of questions, some of which were decidedly discourteous and per- sonal, But the net result of the meeting was especial- ly gratifying. Mr. Prater was forced to admit that the Nonpartisan league made a mistake when this epidemic of inefficiency ? EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of ‘The Tribune. They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being dis- cussed in the press of the day. WHEAT AND POLITICS The strategy of the leaders of the Nonpartisan gue, in the crsiis which now confronts them, is to yell “wheat gambJers” at the top of their voices, hoping thereby to distract attention from more or less embarrassing issues here at home. The recent slump in the price of wheat affords an excellent smoke screen behind which to beat a hasty re- treat, and the Townley-Lemke crowd are making the most of the opportunity. ~ ‘ It must be perfectly clear to any sane person that business men as well as farmers suffer from the wheat situation, but that is not the reason why we should shut our eyes to thefacts as they’ really exist. To hear the Fargo Courier-News and its 58 subsidized satallites howl, you would think that a handful of gamblers in Minneapolis had manip- ulated the wheat market at will. But of course that is sheer nonsense. These. gamblers can no more control the price of wheat—except possibly for a very short time—then A. C, Townley could sweep back the ocean tides with a broom. Thesé gamblers simply bet on the price of wheat—and at that it takes at least two to make a bet.

The voters generally know thatthe institution is a closed book as far as the taxpayers are concerned. Everyone who is interested in efficient govern- ment will see to it that every initiated measure affecting the Bank of North Dakota, passes. These initiated measures merely provide for examination of the bank and their proper safe- guarding of public funds so as to end forever their use for political loans and to advance the political fortunes of Townley and Lemke. “PLAY THE GAME “Inefficiency” is the loudest cry in the world today. From the big business concern down to the housewife who tries to get*a grocery order filled correctly or her clothes washed clean, everybody complains that nothing is done right. There is a flaw left there, a mistake made here, and a line of gray remains along the upper edge of the should-be-fresh linen collar. The work of the world is being done just well-enough to “get By.” Everybody knows that this is so; all the suffering inconvenience, economic loss, even unhappiness from it. What—the question is repeatedly asked —is the cause? Is not the individual discontent, bred of envy, the answer? For, after all, every condition of States is oversold,” he says, “and prices certainly must go higher.” However, no one has ever been able to foretell with certainty just what would happen in the wheat market, of which fact the predictions and gratuitous advice of .Messrs. :Mc- Govern and Ladd are melancholy instances right vy here at home. eae | = In the meantime, the barking of the hired edi- tors of the Townley-Lemke press goes merrily on. Their jobs are at stake, and that is all they have to lose in any case. It seems a hard thing to say but The Chronicle honestly believes that the en- tire outfit, from Townley down, would rather see wheat remain at its présent low ebb, if that would help them win the slecticn in this state, then to see wheat jump to three dollars 2 bushland stay there, if that reaction would result in the defeat of the socialist ticket. No one is more sensible of the hard lot of the farmers of North Dakota than is The Chronicle. The cost of seeding, harvesting and threshing this season’s crop was higher than ever before, and the returns would have been meagre at best. On top of this, however, car.> the sudden slump in the price of wheat, followed b;; a decline in the price of all farm products. It is icrribly discouraging.

Wise” is a farmer: of the old school who believes in the “emancyashun o’ humanity,” Be- ing a forward looking man, he is one of the first to join the Non- partisan league when its organ- izers visited his community. While his ‘varied experiences are told in story form, practically ev- ery one “of them has been dup- licated in‘ real life. ” “Bobs’'t! speech has been writ- ten in dlalect in order to carry out the general idea, It is “Hir- am”. who is doing the talking, tell- ing the reader of his experiences with the Nonpartisan league in emancipating North Dakota. —The Author, XVI. SOME UNPLEASANT TRUTHS. “You have been told that the busi- ness men were your enemies,” be- gan Bob, after a short pause, “that they were fattening at your expense, an’ as a consequence you have with- drawn your patronage from them. causing them to go broke an’ leave your town. Let me tell you, my dear friends, the business men are not your enémies but your friends. Your ene- mies are those persons who for their own selfish ends have told you these vicious lies. Knowin’ that the busi- ness men are naturally caushifis an’ conservative, these persons knew well enough that once the business men got on their schemes they would warn you against them. Therefore, by tell- in’ you these vicious falsehoods they have ‘made themselves and their schemes safe. By instillin’ in your mind prejudice against the business men o’+your towns, turnin’ them against you, or rather turnin’ you against them, they knew they could succeed in whatever they undertook, because bein’ prejudiced you would. not listen to the advice o’ your busi- ness friends. Believe me, had it been to their advantage to da so, they would have told you the truth. This was the reason you were caushuned to keep still during the early days o’ the league’s formation, which’ you did. Had you not done so the’ scheme would have been nipped in the bud, an’ you would have been saved con- siderable money, an’ the state of North Dakota would not be looked up- on as the|outcast among the sister- hood of states. Our grand old Sun- shine State has been made the target for the most unprincipled elements of society. To her borders flock the riffraff an’ undesirables of every state —for under our present administra- tion they are welcomed with open arms. The people in other states are askin’ what kind 0’ people live in North Dakota, you are held up to the scorn o’ every decent, self-respect- in’ person. “Now these things I am tellin’ you may hurt you but I am doin’ it fer your own good. Sooner or later you must have learned the truth, that North Dakota under the present regime has a black eye. Now, you as well as I know the farmers are among the most patriotic o’ our diti- zens. They love their flag an’ ob is precepts.

An’ wuzn’t there at home, in the bottom bureau drawer,. along with a curl 0’ hair an’ a baby’s picture, a little box containin’ a medal with “Distinguish- ed Service” on it, an’ also wuzn't there a paper in that box sayin’ “Died on the‘ field of Honor’ on it? Hadn’t we given our only’ boy, Jim- mie to Uncle Sam when he called, an’ hadn’t our neighbor done the same with their boys? Yes, the farmers were patriotic, there could be no doubts as to that. q 8 (To be Continued.) ° MEMORIES (BY FLORENCE BORNER) When the tasks for the day are all over, And I sit myself down to repose, A host of sweet mem’ries come o'er me, Of the days of the long time/ago; I can see myself once more a scholar, In the school house that stood in the dell, And I see once again the dear teacher, And I hear the loud call of the bell.
