We have been told that it is unpatriotic to criticize Ppublic action. Well, if it is, then there is deep disgrace resting upon the origin of this nation. This nation originated in the sharpest sort of criti- eism of public policy. We originated, to put it in the vernacular, in a kick, and if it be unpatriotic to kick, why, then, the grown up man is unlike the child. We have forgotten the very principle of our origin if we have for- gotten how to object, how to resist, how to agitate, how to pull down and build up, even to the extent of revo- lutionary practices if it be necessary to readjust matters. I have forgotten my history if that be not true history.” You will no doubt guess that the above quotation is from one of Senator La Follette’s speeches. But you are wrong. Well, then you say, either Gronna, Baer, Townley, Frazier, Young ~or Norton is guilty of making a state- ment like that, The idea of anyone ‘" saying that we have a right to criticise the. government. No one but an *“agitator’” would say anything like that. But beloved reader you have guessed wrong every time. The quota- tion above came from no less a person than President Woodrow Wilson, and ~ came at the time he was urging the censorship bill before congress. — STARKWEATHER (N. D.) TIMES, TOWNLEY IS RIGHT The Bismarck Tribune, rabid against Townley, is authority for the state- ment he recently assembled the League state officials and gave them admoni- tion the League was on trial, at the eritical point of its existence, and that each of them must strive doubly hard to make good as officials and League representatives. That's the ticket! The more we know of Townley, the more impressed we are he is sincere and rings true.—PARSHALL (N. D.) LEADER. JUSTICE AND SENSE The next revenue bill that congress will be asked to pass in order to meet the extraordinary expenses of the war will have to take larger slices of the excess war profits. This {s not only simple justice, but sound sense. We can not afford to build up industries in this country that in the future would have the same reasons for becoming . war propagandists that Krupps had in Germany.—W. J. BRYAN in The Com- moner. Wonderal Egg_l;roducer Any poultry raiser can easily double Ris profits by doubling the egg produc- tion of his hens. A scientific tonic has deen discovered that revitalizes the flock and makes hens work all the time. The tonic is called ‘‘More Eggs.” Give your hens a few cents’ worth of ‘More Eggs’ and you will be amazed and delighted with results. A dollar's worth of ‘‘More Eggs'’ will double this year’s production of eggs, so if you wish to try this great profit-maker, write E. J. Reefer, poultry expert, 4978 Reefer Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., who will send you a season’s supply of ‘“‘More Eggs” Tonic for $1.00 (pre- paid). So confident is Mr. Reefer of the results that a million-dollar bank guar- antees if you are not absolutely satis- fied your dollar \vm be returned on re- guest and the ‘‘More Eggsl cost you nothing, Send a dollar today or ask Mr, Reefer for his “Free Poultry book that tells the experience of a man. who has made a fortune out of poultry.—Advt. Mention Leader when writing advertisers L Binder Twine— a “Holdup” (‘ontinued from page 4) ing twine and representatives or the International Harvester com- -pany and other private concerns were called into consultation at Washington with Herbert Hoover. Hoover requested everybody pres- ent to accept no orders for twine at present and to buy no more sup- plies of sisal. All present at the conference agreed to this. Hoover is now supposed to be work- ing out a plan to get sisal at a cheaper rate, and is also planning price fixing on the manufactured product. What the outcome will be no- body knows. If a flat price is fixed it will mean that farmers who have been getting twine from the state penitentiaries at cost will have to . pay a price that will afford a rea- sonable profit to the private con- cerns. The wardens of the state penitentia- ries are against this plan. They want Hoover to fix a maximum price, al- lowing the state plants to do in future, as they have in the past—that is, to sell at the cost of production to as many farmers as they can supply. Most of the farmers will still be left out in the cold to buy their twine from private concerns, but a few will be able to get twine at cost. And the cost figure itself probably will be higher next year than-the price was this year with a handsome private profit count- ed in. WHY NOT TAKE PROFITS? The New York World recently sent a representative to investigate the warehouses of that city. He found there great stacks of leather and hides, and no unusual or pressing demand for the raw material for shoes. In/stores he found the price of shoes as alti- {udinous as ever. In the shoe jobbing and manufacturing houses he found Jjust a little indication of a decrease. In the face of conditions like these it is remarkable that there .can be found persons who insist that we will close up the great industries if we insist on taking more than 31 per cent of their excess war profits.—W. J. BRYAN in The Commoner. THE COST OF PATRIOTISM Outlook, Mont. Editor Nonpatrisan Leader: Here is a little financial statement on the cost of patriotism: . One flag, 8x14 for school (1916) $ 8.00 One flag, 8x14 for school (1917) 18.00 Increase in price ............. $10.00 ‘Why does not the government take over the making, designing and the manufacture of flags, bunting, etc? Is this not a very fair bald statement of the cost of patriotism exacted by prof- iteers for certainly the rise in the cost of wool, dyes and labor on the weight of a flag like above is not very com- mensurate with the price raise? Note particularly that this is a flag for school purposes and the price exacted by a school supply house. Our gov- ernment’s insignia of patriotism made a subject for profit., Is it desecration? G. A. BRATTLAND. CANADA IN LINE ‘When A. C. Townley first advocated the conscription of wealth as well as the conscription of the lives of the young men of the nation he was brand- ed as a traitor. Now comes Sir Wilfrid Laurier of the Canadian parliament ad- vocating the same measure. In a speech last week Mr. Laurier says, “A fundamental objection to the govern- ments’ policy of conscription is:that it conscripts human life only and does not conscript wealth, resources, or ‘the services of any persons other than ‘those who come within the age limit prescribed by the military service act.” —SLOPE COUNTY NEWS, AMIDON, N.
