Washington, March 27.-Preliu1inary

DECLARED after a conference with Rep
resentative Longworth Of Ohio and
Representative Towner of Iowa that
he could not consent to such a pro-
gram because it would constitute an
admission that if the Republicans or
ganize the house the country will SUI

Mr. Lenroot said he did not believe,
the plan would be approved by Re-
ppblicans anywhere.
Speaker Clark, after discussing the
Mann proposal with many Democrats
said he had found only one who
favored it.
The speaker is advising Democrats
to make the organization contest as a
party unless it is fully demonstrated
that one side or the other cannot win
and in this the rank and file are sup

day that Mr.. Mann's proposal simply
was an admission Of doubt of the Re-

Among Republicans. Democrats and
independents generally, the feeling
appeared to be that the organization
fight should be carried out on party
lines and disposed Of as quickly as
possible.

Bay-Box Cookers Parent.

The Norwegian hay box was the

and scientifically shaped utensils. The
theory Of the fireless cooker and the

gas companies during the last two
years. A reversion to type has

Fireless Cooker Gamma,

The fireless cooker has been a long
time coming but it is on the way and
a few more years with the present
standards in cost of living will mean
big increase in the use of this econom-
lcal process. The most primitive
form of the fireless cooker was the
'firehole' of the Indians. Their
green white baskets would not stand
the flames so the squaws dug holes in
the ground, heaped live Goals in the
bottom, covered them with green
leaves, placed the basket with it's
water. meat or vegetables in the hole
and piled more Goals and earth on top.
When old Rain-in the Face returned
from the hunt he found the domestic
stew waiting for him. The Norwe-
glans were the first people to remove
the hole from the ground and make it
portable. They heated their food in
earthenware or metal vessels and then
packed the vessels in boxes filled with
hay. Hot stones We're placed around
the receptacles to aid in keeping the
stuff hot for a longer time.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The feature of the war situation for
the week has been the .'come back" of
the Russians. They have again renewed
their offensive and report about fifteen
thousand prisoners and considerable
large ordinance and munitions captured
while making an advance of about thlr-
ty miles towards Lembere, which city
has already in previous fighting changed
hands twice.
The victories of the Russians will
doubtless have important moral effects
fully equal to the purely military. 1t
will tend greatly to unite the Russian
people, reform the army, encourage the
entente allies and discourage the Ger.
mans and Austrians who had hoped for
the practical dissolution of Russia as a
military force for the rest of the var.
Along the lines in northern France it
is still the same story. The British and
French are crowding slowly, but surely
in spite of desperate counter assaults of
the Germans. The British have made
some advances and the French have
been holding their own though heavily
attacked near Verdun.
Aerial fighting and raids are becoming
more common feature of the war.
Battles of from five to thirty planes on
either side are reported and this new
sort of warfare is thought by some to
perhaps become almost decisive factor
in the final settlement. Two notable
raids are reported this week, one over
London with about thirty killed and a
hundred and fifty wounded by feet of
German planes about a score in number.
The British claim to have destroyed
seven of these on their way home. The
British sent several planes to Essen in
Germany and claim to have caused great
damage to the great Krupp munition
works, while German dispatches declare
the loss was small.
There IS no special increase or decrease
in the submarine work, though it is
notable that there appear to be more
combats and more escapes after meeting
submarines than before.
Germany is just now in political tur-
moil and the fall of the chancellor is
predicted. The socialists are speaking
very plainly about the conduct of the
war in the Reichstag and in their news
paper organs, though still ostensibly
loyal to the Kaiser and the prosecution
of the war.

AS predicted by the the Pioneer Ex.
press three weeks ago. John M. Baer,
Nonpartisan, was elected on Tuesday to
fill the place Of H. T. Helgeson. deceased,
in the House Of Representatives,. The
above figures show the reason why.
A majority of the people Of this district
voted against Mr.. Baer, but divided on
two candidates. A further reason is
that probably eight or ten thousand
"slackers' did not take enough interest
in their country, during most critical
period, to come out and to 90 their duty
as citizens. 4
We regret the choice Of Mr.. Baer for
many reasons. What Mr.. Baer may
really be. what position he will take,
what ability he may have. are as yet nm
know TO anybody but himself and his
immediate promoters. He may be- pa.
triotic, he may become . useful member|
Of Congress, but that ~ yet has 70 bS|

he stands AZ pro- German, q Socialist,
and an ally Of the I. w. w. brotherhood
and he will indeed have to be a very
good, very useful man to live down
these impressions.
Whether Mr.. Baer is. or is not, that
sort Of man is not so much OF the ques-
ton just now as the fact that his cleo
ton will be so interpreted by the people
of this country and of Europe. To the
average reader of this mornings news
papers the conclusion will be, that
North Dakota has by popular vote sent
man to Congress whose only platform
is that he is against the government
both in war and peace.
For the sake of North Dakota we hope
these people will find that they are mis-.
taken. But these first impressions will
last in spite of anything said or done
later. That much political mischief has
been done beyond recall
Mr.. Baer when he gets to Congress
VIII oe very conspicuous from his very
loneliness. He will find no political
friend in those halls except Senator
Gron6a.
And Moth Dakota has virtually seced
ed from the United States, as she has
thus expressed her opposition to all the
rest of the states by sending such men
as her representatives to Congress.
We are sending our sons to fight TO,
the Union with guns and at the same
time sending men to Congress with votes
who voluntarily ally themselves with
treaties with the I. w. w. organization
which the U. s. government officials
officially declare are allies of the Ger
man government.
We are getting a reputation among
our neighbors as the champion freak
state of the nation.
