¥ fx {4 Regards to I. M. Gullty . DON QUIXOTE GUILD. ; *$or several months past that bright mnd shining light of controlled journal- ism, the Fargo Courier-News, has car- wied at its masthead the inspiring slo- gan “The Paramount Issue, To Exter- minate the Liquor Traffic.” . The. fact ghe early pioneers of the type that the .leditor of that paper loves to refer to as’ “carpetbaggers” had exterminated the 'liquor traffic from North Dakota ‘as nearly as legislative enactment,can eliminate it) some 25 years ago seems o have escaped the notice of the saint- ly editor, and he was filled with a burn- ing -desire to exterminate the traffic. Something on the order of Don Quixote and the windmill, seemingly. + Strange to relate the. masthead has disappeared. No ]onger do readers' of that wonderful - “independent” paper i(financed by the mteresfs) read that “The Paramount Issue "is the Exter- mination of the Liquor Traffic.” Can it ibe possible that Guild has exterminated it, root, branch (and sucker) or has the mdre recent campaign to' exterminate the farmers’ olgamzatlons supplanted the former mission ‘of L. B. Hanna's saintly vest pocket piece? . _Alas; this cold world seems to be no place for an unsophisticated (?) prea- cher of the gospel of how to successfully iplay the game on both sides and secure itribute from all—-COOPERATORS’ ‘HERALD, official Equity paper. : VILLA GUILD. Parson Guild of the Fargo Courier News threatens to turn greaser, ' Mexi- canize North Dakota politics and start an insurrection against the majority of the voters. " Let’s see. = Didn’t Guild ‘start an insurrection of some kind. in politics a few weeks ago against the farmers?

The editor of the C.-N. is too recent an arrival in North Dakota to be'fully informed on political =~ sentiment. — HANKINSON POOR GUILD ' The Courier-News has fixed it up all slick and nice, when Parson Guild so- lemnly states that McCumber has been made “the goat,” he getting such a big majority in the race for United States senator for the simple.reason that he will be a much-easier man‘to defeat at the fall election than Hanna would have been. You masn’t laugh at this because Willie Thurbie takes himself very seriously. Now that he has Hanna’s de- feat smooted over ‘we wait with:inter- est how he will explain:the awful -jolt - Paramount Issue Pollock got in his judicial district. -But- the’ versatile ex- preacher will be equal to the Job— CARRINGTON RECORD. _GILLY GUIL o S The Nonpartxsan vxctory leaves - ex- preacher Guild in a bad light as to the influence of the Courier-News. Were Guild to change his name to Gilly it would be expressive of the figure he cut in the primary election.~PARSHALL LEADER. * ' IN-BAD GUILD Leave it to Parson Guild of the Fargo Courier-News to get in bad. He 'is _'quite sirenuous in his denuncistior: of the Nonpartisan League. and now he takes a.whack at what he terms “our own stalwart Republican organizers,” which -would -indi}-ate‘: that the parson . slings ‘the English"language in 4 manner very careless. The “clerical editor is supposed ' to be very “good” but he ‘seems.to’“have run:amuck with his ~ mouth and ‘'seems to be ‘striking back at his “‘only friends left—JAMESTOWN CAPITAL. Educate the Opfibnent\ Edltot Nonpartisan Leader: Prospenty is a mighty good thing, partxcularly when it comes . our way. There are those ywho deserve to prosper "and there are those who do not. ~Those who™ - faithfully = and conscientiously apply themselves to productive .industry or. legitimate business ought to prosper. But no business should be accounted "légitimate" that does not' render a service that ‘society can ' afford-to pay for. Society cannot afford to - reward those whose activities are injurious to the ;general welfare. : _North‘ Dakota is an agricultural state. - “ Whatever of prosperity we may enjoy must come primarily: through those who -till the soil.- If the: farmers . prosper :legitimate business will ‘be sure to ,prosper.

Yet ‘this entire bunch of farmer- killers want and appear to think they are cntitled to -our patronage: and support. The. newspaper men want us to ‘subscribe *for their papers and- patronize their print . shops. - Do they think we can afford to pay them for “working against- us, or éven for keeping silent when our interests are at stake? What are newspapers for anyway— simply to chronicle pink teas and sell their influence to the highest bidder? The-merchants and bankers and other business men who are working against us also want our patronage—-m return no doubt for their services to' the wheat ' ring. and the mnllmg combine in keeping us quiet while they pick:our pockets! These - men need educating. should have a good jolt. them to their senses. we can -hardly afford ‘to reward them and-since they seem to think ‘they don’t’ need us anyway it might serve a useful purpose to give them an. object lesson - of just how prosperous they would be if we were to all ge bankrupt.
