A CONSCIENTIOUS iNVEsnIGAroR

A letter from L. A. Knoks Of Will
low City. which is publiShed in an.
other column. indicates that Mr..
Knoke. in addition to bsins Q practi-
cal farmer, is an earnest man who IL
conscientiously investigating those
public problems which affect the in
terests of himself and his fellow citi-
zens. Like many other farmers, he
was attracted by the plausible appear
ance OF the Non-Partisan league
scheme as presented by the carefully
schooled league Organiser who ap.
preached him, and. in perfect good
faith. and with the best intentions. he
paid his fee and became enrolled as q
member of that organisation. Like
other farmers, he has discovered that
the men who have placed themselves
at the head of the organisation. are
not representative farmers or repre-
sentative citizens. but on the contrary
are professional agitators who have
sought to use the farmers Of North
Dakota as a means Of promoting a So
cialistic propaganda which has as its
basis the spirit of antagonism. and the
setting Of class against class.
The Herald is not prepared to offer
advice as to the methods which may
be employed to weed out that which
is bad in this movement and at the
same time to retain that which is of
value. AS the situation stands the
league is pretty firmly in the grip Of
those who planned it and appropriated
the control to themselves. The or
sanization is not incorporated, and 1t
has neither constitution nor bylaws.
At the Fargo meeting the demand for
constitution was contsmptuously ig-
nored. The individual members have
no voice in the management, and no
equity in any property which has been
acquired. So firmly fixed in their po-
sitions are the self-constituted heads
that it is fair to assume that these
men foresaw the time when there
would be demand for a change Of
leadership and a transfer Of authority,
and provided effectively against it.
Nevertheless, the farmers Of North
Dakota are free agents. II they de-
sire to associate themselves for any
lawful purpose they cannot be pre-
vented. 1t may not be possible for
them to take control Of the Non-Par-
tisan league. but it is certainly pos
sible for them to use the local organ
izations which they have created in
the name Of the league a. the means
for the creation of a real orHanizat tion
which will be their own. built by
themselves. financed with their own
money. controlled by themselves, and
officered BY men chosen by them. And
1T Is safe 10 say that II such an or
ganizatton were to be created, its at
fairs would be administered by men
who are real farmers. and not by pro-
fessional agitators who make their liv-
ing by sowing strife among those who,
in all the relations Of life. are good
neighbors and good friends.

AFTER VILLA AGAIN.

It is gratifying to note that the
pursuit Of Villa by the American
troops has been resumed. The hunt
for the bandit was suspended for q
time. partly, no doubt. in order that
there might be a better arrangement
Of troops with reference to the threat.
ening attitude Of some Of the Carran-
"a forces, and partly to give time for
the receipt of fresh supplies and
equipment. The American forces are
now organized in larger units, so that
they are measureably secure from at
tacks from civilians or from the
Carranza forces and it is stated that
the expedition Is now we'll supplied
with everything needed for some time.
In a situation so complicated as this
it is not easy even for those who are
most closely in touch with 1t to know
what is the wisest course to pursue,
and those Of us who are at a distance
are still less able to form conclusions
intelligently. But it seems very evil
dent, nevertheless. that it would be
nothing less than disastrous to with
draw the American troops until the
object for which they were sent has
been accomplished.
1t is conceded that there never has
been any certainty that Villa would be
captured. Perhaps he might escape
even il all the Carranza troops in
northern Mexico were to cooperate
heartily and vigorously with the
Americans Villa is willy fellow, and
he Is at home in the mountains where
he has taken refuge. The comparison
which one army officer made between
this pursuit and the effort to catch a
rat in a corn field is q most apt one.
But IL Villa is not captured, and II
1t becomes necessary to abandon the
hunt for him, there are still numerous
bands Of bandits who have operated
under the direction of villa, and tho
American troops ought not to be with
drawn until these bandits have been
thoroughly dispersed. and until there
has been such q demonstration of
American force and American thor
oughness as will impress the people of
northern Mexico with the fact that II
will not do to interfere With Arneri-
can citizens or to make raids into
American territory. With that i'm.

WHY MEN ARE LYNCHED.

We have more lynchings and at
tempted lynchings in this country
than in any other country in the
world which claims to be civilized.
When We boast. as we sometimes do.
of the superiority Of our institutions
and practices over those of the Eur
opeans, the Europeans point to our
lynching practices. and we have no
effective answer.
lynching, as we have it. and the ex-
ecution or other punishment of GRIM
inals in a primitive and unorganized
society. In the early days of our
west, vigilance committees and 9TH
er similar agencies frequently put
people to death or imposed on them
other penalties for offenses commit
ted. Those things were merely the
acts Of the community seeking to
protect itself and for that purpose
esta blishing its own code of rules and
its own agencies for their enforce
ment in the absence of anything to
represent the formally organized
state. The local community, under
pressure Of necessity. supplied itself
with a substitute for the instruments
which the state had not vet provid-
ed. Lynching is the defiance by the
mob Of the rules and customs and
authority of the state. Lynching is
common in the United States, accord
ing to the lynchers and their apolog-
lists. because of distrust Of the eff
cacy OF the laws of the state The
real reason is more often that we do
not respect the laws which we our
selves have made.
We will do we'll to emulate. in this
connection, the example of most of
the European nations. In most cases
their theories of government are less
excellent than our own, but in almost
every European country the people,
whether in monarchy or republic,
learn to respect the law beca use it Is
the law. In those countries men vio-
late the law because of passion or
cupidity. but the law is seldom 1o-
lated nesligently. heedlessly and as
a matter of habit. Here we enact
laws by the ream. and then forget
them. To commit an act which in
jures another is usually regarded
among US as censorable. But nobody
pays any attention to the mere vio.
lation Of law in itself We must
not injure our individual neigl1bor,
but we may and do snap our fingers
in the faces of all our neishbors COL
lectively when we show contempt for
the laws which the community has
made. And the ultimate of all this
is the mob violence which we call
lynch law.
They had an attempted lynching in
Kansas the other night. The attempt
vas frustrated by the prudence of
the sheriff, who, on the suggestion of
the governor, removed his prisoner to
place Of greater safety. What
would have happened had tho prts-
oner not been spirited away we can
only guess.
The mob had assembled for the
purpose of breaking and defyine the
law. The chances are that the sheriff
was expected to make only a show
OF resistance. There will be a sur
prising slump in the business Of

SUCH MEN EXIST EVERYWHERE

New York Times: An eminent
American surgeon. who made some
years ago, a tour Of the European
capitals, was asked on his return
how. in his opinion. the foreign hos
pitals and tho general state Of medi-
cine abroad compared with like de-.
velopments in the United States. He
replied that. as rule. the European
hospitals were not as modern or Is
we'll equipped as those Of this coun-
try, and that our doctors had about
as much to teach their foreign coll
leagues as to learn from them. Then
he added: But 1t is only in the
United States that a man who wears
copper or iron ring for rheumatism
can attain a seat on a supreme court
bench"
The eminent surgeon was probably
wrong. human minds being every
where capable of combining sense
with folly. and wisdom with ignor.
ance or superstition. in about the
same absurd but familiar manner.
Almost certainly wrong, too. was his
implication that a man who wore an
iron or copper ring to cure or pre-
vent rheumatism was thereby proved
incompetent to administer justice as
the law knows it. The story is re-
called to memory. however. as rel
evant to the decision Of Chicago
Judge that Bacon, and not Shakes
peare, wrote the plays which by COM
mon consent are held to be the
crowning flower Of the worlds litera-

AS a manifestation of intelligence
and judgment, this decision, of course
is on an exact level with wearing a
rheumatism ring. Wonder, therefore.
unites with irritation in suggesting
that Judge who accepts as valid
the Baconian arguments is strange
ly out Of place as member Of any
judiciary body. and could not be-
come one In any other country than
this. But wonder and irritation are
