Rabbi Tells Students That
Leader Will Return.

Rabbi Joseph Goldman of Seattle,
lately of Russia. spoke before the stu
dents of the State University yester-
day afternoon. His remarks We're CEN
tered upon the need of American
brains in Russia He spoke from a
personal knowledge of affairs in that
country. He told of the awful suffer-
ing in Siberia. "Most of the prisoners
who go there" he said, go for the
rest of their lives. They are given
wheelbarrows which become IA part
of them till the end comes to their
misery Chains fastened to the ham
dies of the wheelbarrows are attached
to the legs of the prisoner with iron
letters. He eats, works, sleeps and
dies with that thing attached to him.
"kerensky will win" said the speak
er, "kerensky will win because he has
millions of educated Russians behind
him. He will win because he is in
the right. The men in the mines of
Siberia will be liberated. and they are
no small number and not without in
fluence. and they will not forget who
put them into slavery or who brough,
them out"

What the League Has Done
Organization Has Proved It's Right to Existence
in Recent Acts

From. Public Opinion, Bismarck, N. d.
President Ladd Of the North Dakota
Agricultural college, and the farmers,
through their League organization,
were able to raise the price of wheat
from $1.S5, the highest figure where it
otherwise would have been placed, to
1920, just 35 cents bushel.
To farmer with 1000 bushels to sell
this will mean $3.50.
Still your Chamber of Commerce
speculator tells you that you are crazy
to pay SIG for a two-year membership
in the Farmers Nonpartisan league.
That's just one act. Here's another
that means as much or more to the
American farmer.
Either knowingly or unknowingly,
Hoover put into force the now famous
3O-day clause by which all farmers,
storing grain in elevators, would be
forced to sell their grain at the expira-
ton of that time for whatever price
The nonpartisan leader., 1917-10-11

they could get, the government not
guaranteeing $2.20 bushel or any
other amount. Such flooding would
have been bound to lower wheat to
$1.00 or $1.50 bushel. Never was a
more vicious act promulgated.
The farmer-elected state government
of North Dakota realized at once the
peril, and despite threats from the fed
eral government stood it's ground until
the clause was modified to protect seed
wheat and guarantee the farmers $2.20
bushel.
Governor Frazier and Attorney Cen
eral Langer deserve the hearty COM
mendation of everyone for their able
handling of the difficult situation.
The farmer with his thousand bush
els of wheat saves from $500 to $1,000
through the activity Of the League
elected officials.
But, still the war profiteers tell you
that you are a fool to spend $S a year
for membership.
