Thanksgiving dinner for the prisoners
in Nassau county jail was provided to-

to eat in the sheriff's quarters with
her small son, Jack De Saulles, as her
lone guest. The boy, q quarrel as to
the possession of whom led to the
shooting, spent the afternoon with his
mother.

sides spent the day preparing for the
resumption of the trial tomorrow, when
IL is expected that the defendants

that Is that the great war in Europe.

to bring the nation face to face with

And this. because 1t Is a warning for n

DR.. Simon referred to the facts ad-
vanced and which served to exempt SO
many young American men from the
recent conscrfption for an army to de-
.fend American honor and to uphold
American principle before all the

A NEW YORK VIEW

: The newest third party of an agra
rian cast makes it's debut in national
politics with the election Of John M.
Baer to congress from North Dakota.
The Nonpartisan league, which swept
the state last fall like whirlwnd, was
expected to have little trouble with it's
Republican rival So solidly are the
farmers, Democratic and Republican,
behind the League that the old party
lines count for little; it was an almost
complete obliteration of them last fall
which gave Frazier the governorship
by a plurality of $4,000 in total vote
of 100000. The statement that Baer
represent Socialist principles is mis-
leading except in 50 far as we may
regard the Nonpartisan league, with it's
demands for state -owned elevators,
terminal markets, slaughter houses, and
so on, as tinged with socialism. Last
fall the Socialist candidate for con-
gress in sthis district received only 622
votes in a total of nearly $4,000. Baer
will represent the point of view of the
Northwestern farmer, which is con-
servative in as many ways as it is
