Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Dear Sirs: I have noticed lately how the Kenyon packers’ bill is being ridiculed by the kept press.. It’s the duty of every one of us that believes in this democracy to write our rep- resentatives and demand that they vote for it. And if they don’t we would want to know the names of those traitors of the people. Please urge through the columns of the Leader the necessity of united action on this im- portant step. I am writing Knute Nelson, Kellogg and Schall in regard to this. MRS. C. A. DANSARE.

The question is one of practical.ex- pediency rather than . of political theory.” Incidentally his answer to the op- ponents of government ownership of the railroads likewise may be con- strued to be a reply to the reaction- aries-who have cried “socialistic” every time they have been left without any argument against any project of the Nonpartisan league. Louis W. Rapeer, director of the National School of Social Research at Washington, adds argument in sup- port of Commissioner Eastman’s claims in favor of government owner- ship of the railroads. Doctor Rapeer has indorsed govern- ment ownership and states that he favors the Plumb plan of the railroad brotherhoods of all present proposals. “It certainly is far ahead of the guarantee to private capital, which is but a renewal of the fight for subsi- dies long since abandoned,” he de-. clares. “The railroad administration was neither granted the ownership or the operation of the railroads of the (lIt was rather a weak control over the roads by which it was to order those who were actually managing and oper- ating the roads, supposedly for the stockholders, how to carry on trans- portation in order to win the war. The government wants to keep down un- just profits and profiteering; the financial interests want railway mo- nopoly and speculative profits} stock- holders wish to receive an assured in- come; the people in general must have strict regulation of the roads-that is equivalent' to government control con- tinued, but it is impossible, such a system of guarantee to private capital. Government ownership is essential to its success.” .LEAGUE AND LABOR Willard, Col. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am inclosing clippings from the Kansas City Journal, which clipped items from other papers, thus ecir- culating the lies' without convicting themselves as the perpetrators. In doing so they might at least have been consistent, but as you can read- ily see, one states one thing and the other another. ' The workers of the city and the workers of the country should get to- gether and elect their own representa- tives and make laws that would make conditions- more equitable to all. U. T. YOES. TREATING BURNS By using the proper treatment burns can be made to heal more quick- ly and the pain also lessened. Miss Ada Lewis of the North Dakota Agri- - cultural college recommends applying to the burn a thick paste of soda and water. If it hardens it may be mioist- ened with water before removing from the flesh. She recomymends the fol- lowing as an excellent ointment for both burns and cuts: Lysol one-half ounce, aleohol one-half ounce, and cas- tor oil eight ounces. :Place folded gauze over the wound after applying
