interests are to attempt to control all ‘plans for Americanization and the - promotion of citizenship, presumably including those promoted by public schools, church organizations and phil- anthropic bodies. . “We demand that the dollar sign be lt&ept off all programs of Arhericaniza-~ ion. “We hold that no plan short of com- plete social justice should be held as a goal in programs for good citizenship or Americanization. “We hold that loyalty and devotion to American institutions can be pro- moted best by the prevention of ex- ploitation of the weak by the strong or crafty; by the promotion of justice in the distribution of the world’s in- come; by the development of moral purpose; and by the moulding of our institution§ato promote these ends.” Watch Ladd 1n the Senate Washmgton Experts Expect Much of Noted North Dakota Fighter for the People Washington Bureau, onpartisan Leader. HE ~ Nonpartisan league will carry its six-year _fight for fair and equi- table grain grades into the United States senate through the medium of Doctor E. F. Ladd,- president of the North Dakota = Agricultural college and nominee of the Republican party and Nonpartisan league for senator from North Dakota. Doctor Ladd, whose election in November virtually is assured by his nomination over the incumbent, Senator A. J. Gronna, in the recent North Dakota primary, is the pioneer of pure food science in America and stands in the forefront of scientists who have served the public as contrasted with scientists who have served the corporations, according to the statement made in Washington by a chemical engineer, who can not be named because he is in the federal civil service. “Years before Collier’s Weekly or Doctor Harvey Wiley were ever heard of, Doctor Ladd. of North Dakota was doing his pioneer work in exposing chemical frauds upon the people,” said this scientist. “He is a very modest man, indeed, or the whole country would have been reminded of ‘his iden- tity during the North Dakota primary campaign. “I remember when he was stirring up the chemists of the country on the subject of impure foods, and was ap- pealing to them to give more of their attention to public service and less to the enrichment of private companies that were selling fraudulent® articles on an unenlightened market. ‘In those days anything that was packed or wrapped and labeled could be sold for whatever it pretended to be, and Doc- tor Ladd’s voice was like one crying in &m wilderness when he stated that it ould be better for the public, better for the chemical profession, and better even for business itself, in the long run, ‘if we would go upon. a basis of honesty instead of fraud. FRAUDS AND FAKERS ° “TREATED ROUGH” “T recall his forthright and smash- ing analytical reports on various patent medicines and cosmetxcs, that made him a regiment of enemies in the trade in, those early days. One of them would read something like this: ‘Paradise Facial Blush—Market price $1; cost of manufacture, 1% cents; in- gredients ’and then he would name the grease and borax and perfume that went into that particular brand of fake. “He handled the patent medicine gentry in an especially blunt fashion, so that when Collier’s and the other crusaders came along they had a per- fectly safe field to enter, for Doctor Ladd had proved that the public want- ed merely to get the facts and to pro- tect itself.” This chemical engineer predicted hat with Doctor Ladd in the senate the big meat packers would have to strengthen their already powerful lob- by in Washington if they were to pre- vent some sharp-toothed legislation to regulate the packing industry from being forced through. “What Doctor Ladd did in exposing the robbery of the farmers on their wheat crop is known to every one in North Dakota,” this scientist conclud- ed. “What he will do in exposing and drying up the sources of the packers’ super-dividends will, I imagine, be even more sensational. The farmers up there have started a good job.” REASONS J. B. Hagenberger, a League farm- er of Mercer county, N. D., tells the reasons why some people in that state hate the Nonpartisan league: The Slacker—Because service men get $25 a- month extra. The Rent Profiteer — Because the state helps any person to buy a home if they have saved one-fifth of the purchase price. The Hail Insurance Agent—Because the farmer gets insurance for about one-third the former price. The Loan Shark—Because the Bank of North Dakota is cutting down the interest rates at least 2 per cent. The Grain Grafters—Because the state mill pays more for its grain than outside corporations and still makes big profits. The Bonding Companies — Because the state bonds all public officials and saves immense sums. < The Fire Insurance Companies—Be- cause the state insures all public buildings ‘and saves more money. Politicians—Because their grafl: is all gone. Lawyers—Because they have no blg fees under the compensation law. Some Editors and Orators—Because they can’t say anything but call names and tell 'ies. The 200 Per Cent Pay-triots—Be- cause Leaguers are all 100 per cent patriots. CELEBRATE MAYFLOWER TRIP November 11 is the 300th anniver- sary of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, with the Mayflower, which set sail from England in Sep- tember. This September a second Mayflower will leave England on the same date for 2 trip in commemora- tion of that made by the Pilgrims. Offers All Wool Suit for $25.00 CHICAGO, Sept. 19.—Mr. James D. Bell, head of the Bell Tailors, Adams at Green st., Chicago, Ill., said to be the largest made-to measure clothing establishment in the world, recently stated that his firm is now able to quote prices on fall and winter suits 35 per cent below what others ask. To prove his point he showed the writer a very attractive piece of all wool cassimere for which they ask only $256 a _suit, made to individual measure, whereas the same fabric is now being offered by others at $35 to $40 per suit. Even larger savings are offered on their higher priced suits. Every reader of the Leader should write Mr. Bell for his price list and a free copy of his style book No. 1036 which con- tains ‘large cloth samples of many beautiful patterns.—Adv. v ADVERTISEMENTS praut OnYourTeam _ | {1 % “Look atit, and use it for a month at my risk.
