Ell PASO, April 26.-Americans
arriving here from Parral attribute
the recent attack on American sol
diers at Parral to the desire of a Mex

more than a year ago.
When the Americans appeared her
chance came. She is said to have ap
peared in the plaza and to have in

involve Herrera. According to the
story told here the girl carried a rife
and herself fired on the troopers.

The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1916-04-06

Some years ago the people of North
Dakota took pair of tongs and gent
ly, but firmly, carried the unsavory
Tommy Poole away from the public
feeding trough. But the irrepressible
Tommy is not only back, but display
ing more effrontery than at any time
during the reign of Alexander the
Great in North Dakota politics. He
has set himself up as the head of the
resubmission crowd with the avowed
program of fastening the Gothenburg
license system upon North Dakota.
Tommy will never put it across. The
mere fact that he is leading the move
>oent is sufficient warning to the peo-
pie of North Dakota. Get the tongs!

date of the primaries. The League
claims membership of 10000. Claims
are made that the number is not SO
large. We do know, however, that in
this territory, very large percentage
of the farmers have joined the organ
ization.
Many of the politicians are con-
cerned over the rapid growth of the
organization. This does not cause the
Independent the least concern. We
have the utmost faith in the farmers
of North Dakota. If they get into
control of the affairs of the state thru
the mission of the League or any other
organization, we do not believe they
will misuse their power. If they use
that power to build up the farming
industry of North Dakota, all we'll and
good. If any INSCRIPTIONS leaders
show a tendency to Feather their
nests" at the expense of the farmer,
we believe that they will be taken
gently by the ear and conducted to a
rear seat If this paper sees anything
in connection with the League that
does not appear right to US, we are
going to criticize it, but we are not
going to condemn the movement, for
the farmers have a perfect right to

Fargo claims a population of more
than 100000, according to figures given
by the latest directory. Minot is not
far behind. With the arrival Of hun
dreds of people during the early
spring, Minot must easily have a pop
ulation of between twelve and thirteen
thousand. Not vacant house can be
secured anywhere. Every room is oc-
cupied. People are Communicating
shacks and as soon as the warm
weather comes, hundreds will live in
tents. Scores of new dwelling houses
are Under construction. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of office
buildings, business blocks, garages
and the like will soon be started. The
hotels can hardly care for the guests,
scores of people remaining up every
night because they find it impossible
to secure accommodations. One has
to visit Minot in order to get true
conception of what live burg this is.

Parshall Leader: Though the
Leader publisher does not pretend to
be farmer in any sense Of the word,
we must admit the new assessment
form is rank injustice to the farm
ers. 1t recites in detail every possible
thing he owns-all ages Of stock,
structures, fences, household goods
and apparel, even monographs in case
he has such a luxury in his home. It
includes everything he has or expects
to have-other than children. On the
other hand, a merchant or publisher
or dealer is merely asked the value of
his stock, and his word is taken at
that. If the "fool farmer" had had a
farmer on the board that made out
this new assessment blank, the form
would not have been the glazing alb
surdity it is.

The Socialists are expected to cast
but small vote thruout the state dur
ing the coming primary election.
Many of the Socialists, who have
given up getting very far politically,
have joined forces with factions Of
other parties. A very large percent
age have joined the Non-partisan
League and will work for the nomina-
ton of the republican candidates for
state and legislative Office who have
received the endorsement Of the
League. The Non-partisan League is
made up of many republicans and
democrats as we'll as Socialists, and
regardless of what has been said
about the leadership of the League,
that organization is likely to have
considerable to say during the coming
primaries, unless something unforeseen
happens.

The new Iowa law which allows
crippled children of parents who are
unable to pay surgeon and hospital
bills for operations to send them to
Iowa City to be treated free by the
state, seems to be working well. Near
ly 200 deformed or diseased children
have been sent to the state hospital
under this law. There is no great
amount of red tape. Parents unable to
meet the expense of treatment are re-
quired to secure the endorsement of a
physician and on the strength of this
the district judge commits them to the
hospital. The law is certainly great
boon to unfortunate juvenile human
ity, as scores of these children would
otherwise never secure aid until too
late.

THE NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE.

The Non-partisan League, contrary
to the predictions of many, failed to
run into breakers at the state conven-
ton held at Fargo last week. There
were in the neighborhood of 800 dele
gates, and it is said that the meeting
was very harmonious. Predictions had
been made that the League was going
to elbow up" but up to the present
time there are no signs of the disinte-
grafton of this organization. The
League has become such a strong fac
tor in state politics that it has made
every other organization take notice.
Whether the organization will win ul-
timately, depends upon the conduct of
the leaders from now on. That the
League is the result Of efficient work
Of masters in the political game, can
not be denied. Just who should be
given the credit for its success so far,
the Independent cannot say. Charges
are made that the League is Social
list movement, but it cannot be denied
that many republicans and democrats
have become members as we'll as the
socialists. Many of the leaders are So
cialists, it is true. Bowen, Townley,
Thomason, Teigen and others have all
been prominently identified with the
socialist work in the state. The first
members were secured by Bowen at
the time of the Equity meeting at Bis
marck, little over a year ago. The
first members paid but $3.50. Later
the dues were raised to Sc and now
they are So. The members have paid
the money without murmur and hun
dreds are willing to come across with
a hundred dollars if necessary.
Secret conventions have been held.
The members to the state convention
were uninstructed, except that they
should work for the nomination of
league members or those considered
friendly to the movement. The man
selected for the Leagues candidate
for governor was not even at the con-
vention, altho he is member of the
organization When he was selected
by the convention, he was at his home
town, dressed in overalls and jacket
and rubber boots. He had driven to
town to take his children home from
school and it took some urging to get
him to leave his work to 60 to the
proved surprise to nearly everyone

closely allied with the League for a
year, made his representations con-
corning the candidates, he was wrong
in every particular.
The League has grown like mush-
room. Never in the history of politics
in any state, has such movement
grown so fast. The League owns AZ
automobiles and will buy more. Or
ganizers will start out at once and
they intend to visit every farm home
