Mr.. Stutsman last week.

"Have you made experiments by
which you can determine the percent

grain would absorb? There has been
complaint in this state that the grain
buyers have locked the shrunken
wheat very heavily by reason Of its
light weight rather than by reason OF
the actual dirt in it. In other words,
because of its being light, the grain
runs out in the chaff, and does not

wise be the case. or course, this is
not a legitimate method of dockage,

NOTE TONED pOWN.

There need be no mystery relative
to the Lusitania note that caused
Bryan's resignation. Senator Lodges
statement is practically substantiated
by Bryan. When the Commoner re-
signed and the note was made public
later, he declared in a public state
ment that the note had been toned
down.
Whether an appendix We're added
and later withdrawn is of little mate.
rial matter We have Bryan's word
for it that the note he objected to
and which caused his resignation was
not the note finally sent to Germany.
There have been so many instances
Of vacillation on the part of President
Wilson, that it is very easy to be-
lieve Lodges statement.
Then there is Bryan's statement,
too, and his admission to Ambassador
Dumba that the administrations
notes should not be taken too seri-
ously.

Mr.. Wilson has done more than
any other man to mislead the nation
in its judgment about the most i'm.
portant issues. He is intellectually
unreliable, almost to perversity. You
never know where he stands today
and where he will stand tomorrow.
lie changes his opinion necessarily,
but his followers say that this Is rath.
er an advantage and that we need a
man who is willing to learn. Eut be-
tween man who is willing to learn
and a weather-cock there is a differ
ence. And the tenure Of president
is not period of theoretical self.de-
velopment. We expect the highest
representative of the nation to have
definite ideas about the needs OF the
present hour and the near future.
Making all sorts Of allowances for
the difficulties under which the presi-
dent is laboring, for mistakes OF the
stenographers. for rhetorical slips
and so on, we really can hardly un-
derstand how a man OF Mr.. Wilson's
keen and we'll schooled intellect can
so constantly contradict himself. At
first he SCOTS at those whom the
European war makes nervous, then
he declares that every day may bring
a catastrophe. but he adds in the
same breath that there is no immedi'
ate danger. After awhile he comes
out for universal service, but as the
author of the New Freedom" dis
likes the word, compulsory
calls it voluntary universal service.
This philosopher and master of style
speaks complete nonsense when he is
SO pleased.
At first he holds that our navy, as
it is, will do very we'll; then he an
rounces that we need the 'incompar-
ably greatest navy" One day he
says that he stands ''fOr the interests
of mankind against the interests OF
property and intimates by these
words that mankind" and property"
ara irreconcilable contrasts. TWO
days later he says that civilization
and property are inseparable. If my
successor, he declaiEs, does not fol-
low my policy, ii is war! AS if there
were not innumerable possibilities Of
arranging international difficulties
without appealing to the ultima ra-
to-" He is consummate master in
muddling issues.
The brotherhuods demand the eight
hour day; they must have it, says
Wilson, as public opinion is sanction
ing it, One proves to him that the
brotherhoods demand only more mo-
ney, that the question is not at all
about the eight hour day
never mind; the president ignores
reality and goes on twisting the facts.
Are there really any people left
who believe in man OF this kind?
Is there any wife, any daughter, who
would like to be led by such a hus
band or father? Is there any man
who would like a friend of this type?
He might consult him once. but not
second time. Is it believable that the
nation should reflect such man?
Mr.. Wilson may be brimful OF the
best Intentions, but he is like die.
You throw the die on the table, but

found his way back to the frontier of
civilization.
This much suffices to indicate how
unfair the entire article is. Crissey's
reputation for fairness in treating az
gricultural subjects will be shattered
unless a prompt retraction is made
and the condition under which this
article was written is disclosed.
Everyone who knows the west is
impressed with the opportunity here
for men of industry and initiative.
Many of the wealthy land owners
came to the Slope as hired men. with
out a dollar in their pockets. The
Tribune could cite case after case to
refute these words, placed in the
mouth of this hired man:
ave got about as much chance to
become the owner of a farm as have
to be president of the United States"
The impression which Mr.. Crissey
seeks to convey is that the door Of
opportunity is closed to those without
capital OF course. this is nonsense
and the editors of the Post know bet
ter than to run such drivel in their
columns.
It is unfair TO use a failure as a
type and to place in his mouth de-
nunciations of country that yields
the greatest crops in what is known
as the Great Plains zone. Govern.
ment crop and agricultural statistics

scendant of Munchausen.

WILSON OR HUGHES?

There should be but one answer to
this question.
Hughes.
North Dakota, OF all states, should
support the Republican party and
the principles it stands for in prefer
ence to the free trade policies of the
Democrats.
A political organization so partisan
as to protect southern cotton and re-
move all tariff restrictions from the
importation Of crops grown north OF
the Mason and Dixon line has no
claim to votes in this state. .,
1t was only the other day hat large
quantities of corn direct from Argen-
tine were sold at Peoria in competi.
ton with Illinois, Iowa, North Dako-
ia and Minnesota corn. The South
American product, thanks to the Dem
ocratic tariff, was sold cheaper than
corn raised in the Middle West.
This is merely one instance. There
are many others.
If such a situation can exist in
, face Of war conditions, what will 30
the case when peace is declared and
this nation becomes the dumping
ground for the products of cheap
European labor.
The election Of Hughes means tar.
if legislation under which North Da.
kota's farmers have prospered in
times of peace.
War prosperity and the yellow cam
paign conducted by the Democrats
have confused some Of the voters. A
sordid appeal to fear has been made,
Dragged by war prosperity, there has
been too much indifferen as to
what will be the aftermath.
Hughes has sounded the warning.
He has suggested the steps necessary
to safeguard the welfare OF this ma.
ton. He will surround himself with
advisers able to cope with the prob.
lens confronting the nation. His ad-
ministration will be national rather
than sectional. The United States
will regain the respect of the world
and it will be prepared to meet the
foreign aggression that is bound TO
follow this war, whether that aggres-
sion is to capture our trade or take
from us some of the billions piled up
through the sale of war supplies.

1.-THE HIRED MAN-HlS KICK"


Forrest Crissey, a writer on agri.
cultural subjects, has aroused a storm
OF protests by his article, The Hired
Man7His Kick" published in the Sat
urday Evening Post, under date Of
October %.
1t was not so many years ago that
Mr.. Crissey visited the Slope country,
especially that portion in the vicinity
of Beach known as the Golden Valley.
The result was an article in the Post
euloglzing the rich farming section III
the southwestern portion of the state
which, through the medium OF a sup
posed interview with hired man, he
now libels most eXtravagantly.
North Dakota friends OF Mr.. Girls
sey wonder at his latest article, in
view of his first impressions of the
state. One does not look for such
unfair statements from a periodical
of the circulation and reputation Of
the Post. From a pen of less author
tty than Crissey's or appearing in a
journal OF less repute than the Post,
the mendacious statements nigh:
well be ignored.
In view Of the fact that Mr.. Crissey
failed to label his article as pure fic-
ton, many people will form a decid.
eddy unfavorable opinion Of the Slope
and CLEAN a wrong impression OF liv.
ing conditions.
The first remarkable assertion:
MY pay was to be thirty dollars
month; but when I asked him for
my first months wages he said I
would have to get along on very lit
tie until the freeze came and he could
haul his vegetables. his flaxseed and
his grain to the river. and ship them
by boat to Bismarck"
Usually when the freeze" comes
the river freezes also and navigation
closes on the Missouri. The hired
man Crissey interviewed probably
was an I. w. w., who possessed a
vivid imagination.
The percentage of farmers hauling
produce directly to the boats is al.
most negligible along the Missouri in
North Dakota.
Continuing. Crissey's hired man
says:
THE first freeze came in October
and we had rough sleds already made
for hauling. There was about two
feet OF snow on the ground"
Mr.. Crissey had only to consult the
records Of the weather bureau to
prove the utter falsity of these state
ments. Why the high priced editors
OF the Saturday Evening Post allow
ed such unfair statements to escape
the blue pencil is inexplicable. Here
Is the prize one which the hired
man" put over on the gullible Girls
.sey: e..
"One day l heard the Old Man and
the other hand talking about how the
whole country would be flooded as
soon as the spring thaw started and
that it would be impossible to get to
Bismarck or to railroad for
months
This so alarmed the hired man
that he fell in with "a sled load Of
wolf hunters" lin October) and thus
