LEAGUE HISTORIES 2 " HE extent to which inter-" est in the Nonpartxsan “parts “of the country is indicated by the big sale —! of ‘the two recent books on ‘the League. In addition to large numbers of books being disposed of by’ regular booksellers, the Nonpartxsan, Leader is selling’ scores of copies a week, some orders heing from Canada and Mexlco, and ‘from' almost every ‘state in the Union. . The Leader will continue to sell the ' books as long as the supply we have contracted for from the publishers at reduced rates holds out, but readers . will ‘have to get their: orders in early if they ‘are to profit by the reduced rates we are making. ‘Mr.’ Gaston’s book, “The Nonpar- tisan League, regularly sells at $1.75 ° ' per copy, but we are making a rate of $1.25 to Leaguers. Mr. Russell’s . book; “The Story of the Nonpartisan League, “'copy, but we are making a rate of $1.25 to I.eaguers. Both ‘of these spe- ,cial prices represent ‘actual cost of the volumes. - When the Leader’s sale . closes purchasers will have to pay reg- ular publishers’ prices for the books. ' Practically all the orders'the Leader" : has ‘had ‘to date have ‘been for both “ volumes. In fact, the student, or per- son " interested in the League ‘move- | ment, should "have both books: They cover. _‘are real impartial: histories of the movement. ~ Mr. Gaston’s book is a “straight ‘reporter’s narrative, Mr. Rus- . sell’s more ‘of an ‘economic mterpreta— tion; both of the League lfslatxon in: itions ‘dat~" ing’ back 50’ years in the Northwest - which ‘led up to the advent of Mr, “'North Dakota and' of con Townley as a farmers’ organizer. . : If you want to avail yourself of the . reduced price offer you will have to act soon.

POLITICAL GHOSTS ; : Gerald Stanley Lee has written a book. “The Ghost in'the White House” _ (Dutton), one of the editors opined the other day, was a clever title. Any one would ‘think it applied to Wilson.: In fact, though, it doesn’t. It’s rather dlflicult to learn to what it applies. i Nevertheless Mr. Lee has written a book. - An Arab proverb recognized “that as accomphshment ‘a long time - ago. Only the cynics would destroy it the proverh that is. What the cynics would do ‘to Mr. Lee's opus is another questlon ; Mr. Lee orgamzed his book thh the : ‘idea in mind that he would teach the ‘people how to choose a president.: The, cover announces four editions, ac—' knowledgment of the cleverness ‘of the ‘advertising worshipper timed to _coincide with a pres1dent1al conven- . . tion year. <\ Wandermg through a2 forest of . words, wherein he even paints the ' - trees, Mr. Lee struggles against im- ‘mersion‘in the sands on the desert of . economics, which is. to him obwously _trackless, and becomes lost in the laby- rinth of political science, without even ‘| ‘the' string’ of pnmary research to e guide him. § Setting out to. embody in words the people s ‘president, he. replaces the | ‘ghost in the White House (the figure | - symbolizes the meaningless: figutehead 1 . of government under the present sys- : ~ tem) .with nothing move than an ab- | stracuon bemde which the: ghost is the 4 “league is' aroused in all ‘regularly sells for $2 per different ground, though both : _ing in necessaries of existence, that * too is beyond the elemental economies < of the author. 5 Mr. Lee’s economics -are the best very essence of reahty M. Lee has . not learned that of all things, politics - is life, as real with causation and mo- tive, greed and. guilt as anythmg in; the world, Summed up, this' book represents the newer and more subtle propaganda against progress which emanates from the -mental hirelings of present-day ‘anarchy. The method is as simple as it is obvious. It proceeds. to paint labor with the tar brush that has blackened capital.: It ventures some generality about the evfls of capital- X Star’cmg upon that premise he builds - his whole ‘ absurd: structure on the . ists, and it emphasizes in «damning . generahtles, piling them one on the other, what it would have the people consider -the outrageous ‘errors of greed of labor. And as for profiteer= illustrated by his bald statement that the 50-cent.dollar is due to high wages, rather than that high wages are due to the b50-cent dollar. '/ Mr Lee’s political science is summed up in his division of people into class- es.. He adopts the wool-pulling exrror, beloved by Mr, Wilson and Mr. Gray, that there are three of them—the capi- talist, the laborer and the eonsumer. theme that the consumer must whip both these warring other ' elements. Any ‘good laboring man' or organized farmer of the Northwest long ago has " pricked that favorite bubble ‘of propa~ ganda.! He knows that he exists as a producer ‘because of and by the fact that ‘he is a consumer. ' He knows po- litical sclence, and the only two groups ADVERTISEMENTS, BT ey R _ u‘lu\y\ WA G\v WHETHER ‘wor] Inng idle at 40° below Zero, t into ‘which 1t ean classfi‘y humamty-—-v o the producer and the nonproducer.
