Editor Nonpartisan Leader: In my work for the Equity during 1915 T met many of the world’s best people.: Many of these people sub- scribed hard earned money at $100 per share to build the Equity Herald Building and the Herald Publishing company. These people gave without hope of reward to see the loved cause prosper. The world hears of leaders of men but those who bear life’s burdens in the fields and in the trenches are the ones who make progress possible, i vet, these tired, patient, people pay all and get none of the credit. The world's history ‘is one revolt after another and only successful re- place in written history. Jreaking out in one place the revolt is given one name, breaking out in another place and time still another name; but in all times and places the revolt -was against tyranny and op;” | pression in government or market places. This struggle is as old as the world. The Equity forces of North Dakota have forged the tools and built the machine that shall free the nation from political and industrial bossism. Since the foundation of the Ameri- can government it was the common people who fought the battles and fed all, revolutionists and Tories alike. The well fed Tories were the ones who sang “God save the king” while real rebels fought the battles. Such movemerits as the IZquity, the farmers’ Educational Union, the Grange, the Farmers' Alliance, all had their birth in the discontented and were a revolt against the unbearable conditions in the market place and all have missed the key to the situation- control of politics. To use their col- lective credit as a state or political subdivision for their collective use, instead of permitting private business to use that credit and charge them ex- orbitant prices, never occurred to any of these organizations. * The Nonpartisan' League, purely political, wil give all these organiza- tions political solidarity. Why can not these economic organizations, who have the same ideals, hopes and de- sires get together in one economic or- ganization, big enough and strong enough to carry on the marketing and business end of supplying that which feeds the world? The test of fire will he, can a united front of the producing millions stand undivided against the wily self-seek- ing politicians, commercial Shylocks and such brazen traitors as will spring from our own ranks from time to time? In such stirring times it is to be ex- pected that an occasional traitor will show his deceitful head. The co-opera- tive movement by whatever name will live on and accomplish its end, regard- less of crooks within or without in ‘its own good time.. The farmers financed the Equity as they did the League, voluntarily;. In addition they financed the chamber of commerce, the mill trust, harvester trust, railroad trust, and all other “trust-worthies” together with all the other profit takers. Surely they will back Governor Frazier for waiting two years more to get what they want rather than to get what they don't want_—now, even to incur the dis- pleasure of A. M. Baker or his worthy assistant. The Equity boys two years ago saw in a terminal elevator at St. Paul a wheelbarrow- to:do their chores. Now they see how easy it is to stick when something worth while sticking to is at hand. They See in state ele- vators and mills at-home, a railroad” train of 100 cars something worth while working and waiting for. ERNEST A. MEYER. The Bugaboo of Socialism (Editorial in® Bowman Citizen) Do you know what a bugaboo is? Webster's dictionary says that it is “anything imaginary that causes need- less frizht”. 3 When you were a child, perhaps some foolish person used to scare you by threatening that the bogey man would get You if- you weren't good; and O, how you used to tremble with fear when you thought of this imaginary bogey man! But now you've grown to manhood and womanhood! Now vou know, there is no such thing as a bogey man! Now you know that these people who used to fill you with fear when you were a child were lying to you, for the " purpose of having their own way with you. But now that you have grown up some of these same people who fright- ened you as a child want to scare you with -another bogey; man. They call this adult bogey man Socialism! And if they can get you frightened with Socialism, they believe that they can still control you and keep -you from getting your just share of what you produce. . . & But the bugaboo of Socialism is just another -big lie to frighten you. They tell you that it will destroy your home. They' tell you that it will destroy re- ligion. They tell you that it means free love—just as if there was any other kind of love than love that is free. The men who try to frighten you with the bugaboo of Socialism want to reserve to themselves the privilege of destroying your home. They are in the business of destroying homes, by .so_they, robbing the heads of families of most of the wealth they produce. They want to go on robbing you, and so they dub everything which is going to help you to get a greater share of what you produce, Socialism, Are you going to allow these home- destroyers to frighten you with this new bhogey man? Are you going to allow these. prosti- tutes of homes and firesides to hinder you from getting justice for yourselves and families, 'by posing as the only “respectable” people in the country? What you want is JUSTICE! What do you care about the bhogey man of Socialism so long as you keep the ‘“respectable” robbers from stealing most of what you earn and make? You farmers want a terminal' ele- vator, flour mill and packing plant, so that you can stop the robbery of 'the grain gamblers and big packers. THIS WILL SPOIL SOMEBODY’'S GRAFT, and their hired preachers, teachers and editors, raise the bogey cry of SOCIALISM. If you allow this adult bogey man to frighten you, you deserve all you get!
