OUTSTANDING AMERICA.

IDes MONIES Capital
North Dakota Is going thru politica!
transformations about as Kansas did
thirty or more years ago. ..
II was fashionable in Kansas to try
to remedy a dry season and a crop
failure with new kind Of politics.
When people are discouraged. they
fall easy victims to the demogogue.
It was SO In Kansas. 1t is SO now in
North Dakota
Conservative men from North Dakota
say that the people OF that state. left
10 themselves, would be all right but
that they permit themselves to be
played upon by selfish men who wish
to be elected to an office.
We are told that the people Of North
Dakota are all right, but that the poll
ticians are all wrong.
This sensational political party,
called "the National Nonpartisan
League" has opened up business In
Iowa with headquarters IN Des Motnes.
The letter heading says, Lock Box
1856" This Iowa branch is sending
out the resolutions adopted by the So
called -Nonpartisan league conference"
held at st. Paul on Sept. IS, 10 and 20.
1917.
The resolutions are long. One Of
them says, Because Of the interna-
tional form Of modern commercial and
industrial life. industrial democracy
must be international, to be complete
and to be safe. The new politica,
democracy OF Russia has faced this
fact. and thrown its whole strength
whole heartedly into the struggle, for
worldwide political democracy. to the
end that industrial democracy may also
be worldwide"
In other words, the present condi-
tons in Russia have produced envy in
North Dakota, and this Nonpartisan
league wants to DO In the United States
what has been done IN Russia.
There Is so much that is high-sound-
ing and deceptive. and so much that IL
in the platform OF prin-
c.ples laid down by the Eonpart.san
league that 1t Is difficult to present all
Of them in one editorial.

land upon which these agitators are
living in North Dakota was donated to

tent with this. They would like to
have the government sprinkle the
ground in order to make the soil pro-

In one paragraph they say that the
farmers OF Montana, North Dakota and
Nebraska have had crop failures and
are therefore bankrupt, without the
means to live upon their farms to pro-
duce another crop" They announce

At Wcodhine the normal school and

And Il some Of the lads have no home

who will welcome additions TO their

been feeling sorry for themselves and
have been finding the tasks hard that

Ia PellA and Lake Prairie township
who have never been harmed by liquor.
but who would have been enlisted for
the saloon II the people OF Pclla had
not pat them out OF business seven and
a half years before the amendment
election was held. Taking the entire
state, the number OF young men who
have been delivered from the evil by
Punishment of the saloon from the
communities during the past decade
would run far up into the thousands.
From moral standpoint alone. this
fact would justify the repeal of the
mulct Law, and we do not believe for
a minute that the vote on the amend
ment would have been more favorable
had the saloon retained It's semi-legal
status in the state. The same claim Is
made regarding the passage OF the re-
strictive acts by the last legislature
known as bone dry" laws, 1t is said
that men voted wet who would other
wise have voted dry, because they
could not ship liquor into the state for
use We do not believe 1t.
There are only two classes OF voters
that took part in the recent election.
those that want to drink liquor ana
those that want to Danish the traffic.
We shall have to be furnished with
better evidence than we have yet OBJ
tanned before we are convinced that
any hooZer prefers to go TO the trouble
OF shipping his liquor from another
state rather than buy il at home
Every man that voted against the
intelligently did so with
the hope that Il would make It easier
for him to obtain liquor to drink. All
the talk about ''the expense OF the
and personal liberty"
was simply made because the decent
people would not listen to their real
purpose in the matter. The real rea-
SON for the failure Of the amendment
to carry Is that the people wishing TO
be counted among the forces Of de-
oency did not come out and vote. They
are TO blame, and, until they are
aroused 10 the danger their indifference
has brought upon the state. we must
submit to the triumph OF evil.
