The Morris, (Minn.y Tribune, which is one of the leading news
papers published in a good. farming district in Minnesota, has the
following to say relative to the Non-Partisan League, which is now
trying to get a foohold in Minnesota: Fl s
u. The Non.Partsan League. @
Some of our exchanges have warmly commended and some have
violently criticised some chance remarks we have made regarding
the Non-Partisan League. Well, the writer spent partof his time
learning the trade % years ago on q paper that was theaspectai or
gan of the Farmers Alliance, and we heard disheds over and over
again the same kind of political cap-trap that the League paid or
gsnizors are now retailing. Nevertheless the Farmers Alliance
was a grand organization and has many things to its credit but
it's sncerest friends Of that day who are now alive will confirm the
statement that the Alliance made a fatal mistake when 1t officially
went into politics, and became the pray of n~umberless. politicians dlaa
ing the farmers interests. That is just what the Non-fartt;san
League is doing from the start. So far as "doing something for
the farmers" is concerned, there is not a bit Of legislation that the
majority Of the farmers want that they cannot have herein Min
'nesota. The farmers should have their own organization, just as
the editors have theirs, and every farmer and every editor should
belong, but there is no reason why he should surrender his right to-
vote as his own Judgment dictates, and pays SIG for the privilege.
If the editors Of the state should form an association and pledge
themselves to work and vote absolutely for a program mapped out
Iby a few paid agitators,s what would our good farmer friends
think Of rs? AS an illustration, the newspapers ofthe state have
haan cas+;n9 about FOR 8 remedy forthe present high price Of print
lnaner and q state-owned paper mill has been proposed. Now comes
fhee Northern. Minnesota Editorial Association and notes.-the pro-
iect down. Is the Northern Association controlled hy the paper
]barnnsf Not on your life. 1t simply means that the proposition
was there seriously considered in aNits aspects and found not feas-
ible. It means that the editors did not follow the line Of talk End
siny stories handed out ~ some paid agent, but considered the PRO
position Of being thoroly considered and openil discussed, and the
man who stirs up prejudice the moment q serious discussion is pro
posedis the worst enerny. that any cause can have: -.--

FIVE VOTES FOR WAR.

Kansas City Star: Five Senator's of the United States voted
against the people, flag and government of the United States m ana
for the people, flag and government of a foreign power. Insyl
were Gronna, Of North Dakota, LaFolette, of Wisconsin, WORKS OF
California, Vardman of Mississippi, and Kirby Of Arkansas.
These Senators voted to declare to Germany and TO the world
ina ntt America had no right upon the high seas, that Americans
sailed and traded upon them at their own risk Of life and property,
and that any foreigh4 government that chose to do 50 might, with
out any show Of legality, warraf:!. ct intternationa law Or regard for
humanity, take American lives and destroy American lives ana
american property without fear Of action or protest py the flnsl1'
can government. @sa -. a4i
Granting that these five Senators weer actuated BY, the highest
motive and that that motive was the preservation OF peace, !ney
,have hy1 their votes to relnquish American rights and A aN IS
spperaipnty done more to bring war upon their country, tnan they
ooGld have done had they voted outright for War- -Wvuhl no nena-
tor voted for in voting for the resolution to support the rIeslqeus :
action. They voted against the preservation OF peace ana 70 IN IN
5Syite war and aggression because their votes viii PC taken "a ces
armed camps Of the world for the voice OF a divided America, a
weakening and compromising America, an America afraid.
sM lie the five Senators who cast these un-Amercan votes had con
scientious objections TO supporting their country's rights to q point
which they may have believed meant war, they would stand much
higher nj public estimation today had the, followed the example OF
John Morley and John Burns, who resigned from the British minis
ny when they found they could not support thelr governments
course at the beginning Of the war.
Ill Senators f the United States are entitled to pretty nearly any
h 0ppinions they choose to hold upon domestic issues land to talk pref

FISH LICENSE TO
HAVE HARD TIME
Little Probability of 1t Getting
Very Far During This
Session

The House EcGamittee in charge of
the bill to establish a state fishermen S
license law at half n dollar per license
has about decided not to do anything
unless the people VINO urged the
license at meetings last year ask for
it. The bill has been in committee
for some time and no attempts have
been made to get hearings. The mem
bers of the committee say that they
are awaiting an expression of public
opinion and officials of the State De-
partment of Fisheries say that they
are also waiting to see what the
sponsors for the idea are going to do
about it.
The proposed fish code is also wait
ing action as is the biennial bill to
take care of the bullfrog and the Ju-
niata red-legsed terrapin.
The proposed game code is now in
the House and will be up to third
reading within Il few days. 1t was
considered by the game committee for
over a fortnight and represents the
views of the members and a mum Der
of sportsmens organizations. The
chief feature is that it permits boys
under fourteen to trap rabbits. rhe
code is designed to get all of the game
laws together and if enacted il will
be the plan TO let it be tried out for
four years at least without being
changed.

Commissioners Will Be Asked
Some Questions Regard
ing State System

Members of the State Prison Labor
Commission are to be asked to eX-
plain to the House Appropriations
Committee why it is necessary to ask
an appropriation of s275,O0O for the
conduct of their work. A bill was
presented on February Is by Mr..
Brady, Philadelphia, for that sum, of
which $780, 600 was to be for the man
ufacturing fund expenses, which
would include the wages for prisoners
in the two penitent.2ries and the
Huntingdon Reformatory, and $125, 900
for pay of persons employed outside of
manufacturing. but would care for
those working on the new peniten-
tiary construction. The committee
wants to know why the commission
can not pay wages, etc, out of reve-
nue. received from sale of its products.
