ASSISTING THE GOVERNMENT

The st. Paul meeting Just closed was not a meeting
of protest. It was a patriotic gathering held for the pur-
pose Of helping the government to win the war. This is
not in accordance with the original announcement. The
Fargo Courier-News in announcing the meeting declared
that 1t was to be a meeting Of protest. But the Courier
News seems to have been only partially informed. 1t un-
derstood the real purpose of the meeting, but had not
been instructed as to the purpose which was to be an
ed that.
The meeting, then, was for the purpose Of helping
the government to win the war. Addresses were delivered
by members of both branches of congress, some Of whom
opposed the war at the beginning, opposed the arrning
Of American ships prior to the war resolution, opposed
the creation of an army to fight in the war, opposed the
levying Of taxes and the sale Of bonds for the financing
Of the war, and who have hung back and growled and
complained ana denounced whenever the subject Of war
was mentioned. They and others outside Of the 'halls Of
congress have been making the sort OF speeches that have
been transmitted by German agents to Petrograd and
there used to convince the Russian masses that the Unit
ed States is not seriously in the war at all, that she has
no intention of defending her own rights or the rights Of
anybody, and that she is now engaged in making a cheap
bluff.
people who insist that having started out to take a part
in the war we should now quit without striking a blow.
1t was managed by some of the same people who have
thrown obstacles in the way of the Liberty loan, and who
have sneered at the Red Cross and kindred work. And
all its proceedings were in keeping with what might have
been expected from the character Of its leadership.
That is about the way that the copperheads assisted
the American government some sixty years ago.

THE SECOND LIBERTY LOAN

The first issue Of Liberty bonds found tho ma
ton unprepared for their acceptance. War loans were
new to US and we had to take time to become acous-
toned to the thought Of them. Our people are not
habdtually investors in government bonds in small
amounts. Men of large means buy bonds as a safe in
vestment for large sums. But the man of small means
either does not invest at all, or chooses some form OF
security which bears a higher rate of interest than gov
eminent securities.
The issue of Liberty bonds brought to the attention
Of the people a duty. That duty was performed; but 1t
took time to get the response. We have had ample
notice that before long another issue Of bonds would
be presented. Thousands Of people who for the first
time in their lives invested in a government bond when
the first issue was announced, began at once to prepare
for the next issue. And undoubtedly many who did not
feel able to participate in the first loan are now prepar-
ing for the second.
The response to the coming appeal for funds will
without question be more prompt and more general than
was the earlier response. satisfactory though that was
There should be no hesitation. The fund should be sub
scribed and over-subscribed as soon as the issue Is an
nounced. That will be one way to convince, both our
friends and our enemies that we are in earnest.

fact that one may become q member Of the society and
not be required. to pay more than sic. But 1t is also a
fact, which a good many hundred farmers IN North Da-
kota know. that. they have been induced to sign Mr..
Townleys notes, and have done 30 to the tune OF some
hundreds OF thousands OF dollars. There were at one
time held in North Dakota more than $4,000 worth of
such notes, and many Of these notes have ben peddled
In other states and offered at a discount Men who
signed some Of these notes for considerable amounts
with the understanding that they were merely acconmo-
dation notes which they would not be required to pay
have since been obliged to take their choice between
paying and renewing, ana the fact has been brought very
forcibly to their attention that now or in the future they
would be obliged to pay.
These facts are matters of common knowledge in
North Dakota. II Mr.. Fry thinks that the Information
is worth $1,000 to him he may pay that sum to the Red
Cross and we will call it square.

London, Eng, Sept. 21.-And now
it's the Tommiette!
Behind the zone at the British
front in France, billets for 1000 girl
soldiers have Just been completed!
And the girl soldiers are already
on the job, actively helping their
brother Tommies win the war.
They are Observation-Disclosures mem
Corps-the wv. A. A. c." They have
enlisted for ii year or h duration
of h war. Which implies that it's
likely to be q long war yet; and when
1t has finally been won there will be
serious question whether women Or
men did most.
Short of actual fighting there are
few kinds Of work behind the front
these girl soldiers will not soon have
taken over. Drivers in the motor
transport service, orderlies, military
telegraph and telephone workers, air.
plane repatrers, shoemakers, tailors
and messengers-the list of their oc-
cupations Is endless.
For every four Tommiettes, three
Tommies are released to do actual
fighting, the only war work in which
men can still excel.
1t is hardly so years since any war
service was thought impossible for
ome Florence Nightingale opened
up the hospital field. Today almost
the only men in the big military hos
pitfalls are the wounded soldiers and
the surgeons. In the Third London
General Hospital, caring for 1000 SOL
diers, are 500 women, nurses, order
lies, mattresses, cooks and masseuses.
They are quicker, ge1tler, more eff
cient.
The munitions works are practical
ly run by m~unitionettes, 25 to 80 per
cent more efficient than men.
The ministry Of munitions has just
asked for more women to make air
planes. In this work of extreme deli
cacy, such as measuring to the ten
t~housandth part Of an inch, their
hands n eyes are more precise.
In the civilian occupations from
front, the efficiency of the women has
long been familiar here. Thousands
are on the farms, hoeing, harvesting,
dairying. In London the girl bus con-
ductors, working ten hours a day six
days a week, for about 50 a day with
a war bonus Of $1.25 q week, have be-
come such models of CHEEKY public

DIFFERENT I'm NORTH DAKOTA

The Nonpartisan league, as is well known, is doing
business in several states. among them Kansas. In an
interview in thegTopeka Capital N.ZR. Fry, secfYtary-
manager Of the organization for that state, deniesssoIne-
what heatedly that the league is affiliated in any way
with the Peoples Council or the I. W. W., and also that
the members of the organization are under any financial
obligation whatever other than for the payment of the
SIS dues which they pay or contract to pay at the time
Of joining. Mr.. Frye says, among other things:
1T (the league) has no more to do with the Peoples
Council or the I. w. W. than it has to do with the eb-
peace prizes. Its members are obligated in no way, shape
or form to pay the debts Of any individual or organiza-
ton. A member pledges himself to the Nonpartisan
league program. which is strictly political, and agrees
to lend such assistance in a moral way as he Is in a po-
sttion to lend. He pays his portion Of expense of the
work at the time of Joining, which liz $1e-no more, no
less"
Mr.. Fry offers to pay 81, 900 to anyone who can show
any pledge, word or clause to the contrary.
In this state, which had the misfortune to be the
starting place of the society created by Mr.. Townley,
we have had some experience with the organization.
How close may be the connection between the league
and other organizations of more or less like character
may be left to the judgment of those who are able to put
two and two together
Arthur Lesueur. formerly Of Minot, is one of the
legal advisers of the league. He has been prominently
connected with the I. W. W as a speaker and adviser
and an attorney for members who were charged with
violations Of the laws. In cooperation with the presi-
dent Of the league he attempted to induce the farmers
OF North Dakota to enter into labor contracts with that
dtabolcal institution, a plan which the farmers rejected.
The unsavory and seditious Peoples Council was
barred from the state of Minnesota by the wise ana firm
action of the governor Of the state. But, when the so
ctety had the front door slammed in it's face. with the
assistance of President Townley and others of his class
it crawled in through the cellar window, for the meeting
just held in St Paul was In reality a meeting of the
Peoples Council In the guise Of a meeting Of the Non.
partisan league.
In the matter Of finance Mr.. Fry is probably literally
correct In saying that the league members are not obli.
