TRYING TO BE PATRIOTIC.

Leaders of the ,Nonpartisan league
come out of the St. Paul conference
with their loyalty questioned and their
influence among the farmers of the
northwest badly shattered. They
have preached an economic doctrine
which if not openly seditious. was
anything but patriotic. -
Some day the bill of information
against Townley and his henchmen
will be drawn UP by the league mem
bers themselves. There is enough
evidence to convict them of poor lead
ership and to send their satellites,
such as Frazier ct al, to political
oblivion. g..
1t is not fair to. the rank and. file
of North Dakota farmers to indict
them for the indiscretions of Townley
and Frazier. The chief executive sat
quietly while LaFollette uttered his
pro-German sentiments, as quietly as
he has been to all things American
since he took his oath of Office. But
many league members showed their
disapproval.
The st. Paul meeting was the natur'
al climax of policy pursued by the
leaders ever since war was declared.
Mr.. Townley showed his colors first
when he went up and down the state
attacking the sale of liberty bonds as
q means of meeting the expenses of
war. BY implication at least, he dis
couraged the purchase of these securi-
ties, even though he may not have
come out openly. He never failed to
leave the impression that he was ad.
verse to the farmers putting their
money at the disposal of the govern
ment to fight German militarism.
When the state board of investment
declined to use 100000 Of school
funds to purchase liberty bonds, the
'unsympathetic attitude of the admin
istration to the policies of financing
the loan was evident. This board is
largely made up of Townley's tools.
s.. Then followed the vicious misrepre-
sentation of Hoover's position by Con-
gresham Young and certain league
leaders during the controversy over
wheat prices. Townley continued to
malign Hoover at the st. Paul confer
ence, as the official draft of his speech
published in the St. Paul Daily News
clearly proves.
The Tribune passes over the famous
I. w. W. proclamations, but these are
all true bills in the indictment against
the league leaders and challenge their
patriotism.
Townley is now engaged in a ludic-
rous attempt to make LaFollette the
goat Iconoclast that he is, he would
trounce his closest political ally to
save his own hide
1t was always thus with dema-
gOgueS.

FREEDOM OF SEAS.

Ever since the war started, the Ger
mans, parr0ted by the Austrians, have
been prating over that totally bogus
issue, freedom of the seas.
In their replies to the pope's last
peace note they dwelt upon it with
the usual crafty insistence.
Sober thinking people have been
puzzled. $50 far as they could figure,
there had been nothing but freedom Of
the seas before this gigantic war.
Nobody ever heard the seas were
anything else than free-very much
freef than life in Germany and Aus
tria. No one even attempted to de-
prive the Teuton empires of the free
dom of the seas.
German ships piled in every ocean,
competing with British and American
goods in every market The kaiser
went steadily ahead with a big war
navy. England did not even erect q
tariff wall against "made-in-G Germany"
goods.
There was nothing the Germans
could legitimately ask for that was
not freely accorded them everywhere
in the world. The one thing that ex-
cited their wrath and fear was the
continuing might of the British navy
They also did not like to see our own
navy keeping abreast of the times
But they knew that neither of these
navies was a menace to any legitimate
German aspiration.
England, an island country, was
forced to maintain supremacy at sea
or starve the moment an enemy de
clared war. The United States, for
the protection of her coasts and the
maintenance Of the Monroe doctrine
was also bound to have considerable
navy s-.-,. ...-. .,r
" And it was precisely these things
that irked the Prussian war masters
They knew a British navy stood be-
tween them and their hopes to bring
England to her knees. They knew
our American navy, If properly de.
veloped, would stand between them
and their greedy designs upon South
and Central America.
They do not want to be thus baked
Ii! the future. They want, if possible
to trap the allies into some kind OF
disarmament scheme that would mean
an inferior navy for England and a
similar one for America. Then Ger
many could pursue her evil and sin.

expression domination over the

common today. The latter express.
preston is either dishonest or
stupid. The sea 10 free for US
only IL we dominate It.
There is the truth about the Ger
man canting phrases in a nutshell.
When the German and the Austrian
kaisers unctuously reply to the pope
that they desire the freedom of the
seas they are, either dishonest or
stupid. In the present instance, they
are plainly dishonest. They are lying
once more, just as they have lied so
often during the course of this war.
They want German domination Of
the seas, not freedom Of the seas.
And when they gain domination of
the seas, they will have all but con-
quered the world. Remember that,

Mr.. ToWNLEY,s CHOICE.

Mr.. A. =. IOWnley, cnlel CUSTODIAN
of the Nonpartisan league movement,
has explained to the Public Safety
commission how it happened that Sen
ator La Toilette was permitted to
)ring the St. Paul conference to a
close with a speech blazing with dis
oyalty, despite the promises he and
lis lieutenants had made that none
IT the speaers would be permitted to
say seditious things. f.
Senator La Toilette, according to
Mr.. Townley, promised the managers
of the conferences to keep off the war
topic, and then broke his promise.
If this is true, why did not Mr..
rownley disavOw Senator La FOllette's
'editious utterances on the spot? -.
Why did he not rise and publicly re-
Duke the speaker for violating his
promise? :"
Mr.. Townley permitted four days to
elapse before making any disavowal.
He made it then only. when summon
I'd and questioned by the Safety Com.
mission. His demeanor on the stage
Of the st. Paul auditorium Jwhens Sen
ator La Toilette was talking was ap-
oarently that of smiling approval. If
he demonstrated with the speaker, as
he now claims to have done, he did
o with the appearance of melting to
arther offense land he permitted the
udience to dispense without reveal
ag the fact that Senator La Toilette
lad done the dish6norable thing Of
which he now stands accused.
If Mr.. Townley reshy enteftains the
sentiments Of loyalty which heshow
'ays he does, it is time he brought
forth works meet for repentance, 1t
is time he showed his colorsi aIdmis-
akably. He has found that the rank
and file of the Nonpartisan league
members are first of all Americans. II

efforts to purge the senate Of the
United States, Of the. presence of 70

mand his expulsion from that body on
the ground that he is and has been
pro eiemy, that by his acts and

The country has had enough, OF

way to attend to him is to expel him

THE HIGHEST HOUR

A poor but honest friend of tells us there was one time his life when he had everything in the world he wanted It was about thirty years ago and he was seated in spring with his wife by his side They were their way to their home in the country and their furniture in the wagon.
 The pretty bundle of gingham would have been enough make him perfectly happy, but when he thought of furniture he felt that the world was too good to him. There the No. stove and three lovely joints of pipe and that stove and that pipe belonged Nobody else in the world had any claim it. And there the fine rocker the fine straight chair for him. It is only in recent years that have gotten into the habit of sitting rocking chairs Two three other ele gant pieces of furniture in the wagon, and there was piece set of kitchen uteisis-a big clothes boiler full of them. The boiler and the utensils it contained cost $150 but you couldn't get the same of tin today for double the Then there the richly colored picture given them by the dealer who sold them the big bill of furniture. Now adays the dealers won't give you anything, but that couple when they bought their furniture from him. And last but by no means least the beautiful green bowl and pitcher, present from the boon companion of his single days. young man who thought of dollar than if it much trash.
 Our friend says that in those days she p">ud of the little of baking powder. and just simply adored the genuine tin coffee pot and felt sorry for everybody else in the world But she looks at the old car or a the suit she has three four times, without pityng hersef-Fort Worth Star Telegram

Director or Dictator

In the dispatches of yesterday morning MT. Hoover was referred to once as future food director" and again a flood dictator" We do not know whether these different used Intentionally but loosely, whether a typographical com- mitted. Perhaps after all they the thing, but dictator" does sound well to Americans director" We suppose a happier term than either might have been selected
 Food dictator" however, is the name used in Ger many, England France and in those countries it has definite meaning. The dictator there controls the consumption of food He orders meatless and potatoess and breadess days. He orders tickets for various foods to be issued and without them they obtanabe. We have need of official regu- lation of the consumption of food. Our pockebooks Vill afford all the regulation require.
 But things have been going will need regu- Iaton the distribution and it's prices; also it may be, regulation of production, but the latter will be accomplished largely by the director dic- in intelligent advisory capacity.
 It is in the field of distribution though, MT. Hoover will find his real work and he can carry it there only when backed by laws which have yet be enacted He must be empowered to prevent the nanipulation of prices and to punish those greedy souls who try to violate them He must be enatsed 10 fix maximum and minimum prices With that rigdly exercised there would be occasion manipulation The producer would be allowed reasonable profit and he gets than that The mddleman would be allowed a reasonable profit instead of his present extortionate profit and the consumer would become the beneficiary of direction dictation.

FRANCE IN BATTLE FLAME
(By Edwin Markham)

(By Edwin Marllham) 0 France rose-hearted France You seemed old the spirit of winged dance Light a leaf that circles in the sky. Light bubble when the pillows fly. We had forgot that in you burned spark That lit with the dawn the spirit of Jeanne d'Arc; We had forgot that in you burned the flame With which Corday and Roland wreathed your name Then suddenly from the summer sky were hurled Wars mad incredible thunders the world; And at the sound your soul upstart To fold your stricken people to your heart. Erect, imperious you stood and smiled Your eyes divinely wild,- A sudden light upon your lifted face A splendor fallen from a starry place. Debonair, delicate France, Spirit of light, spirit of young romance, Now we behold you, dim in the battle dust, Reused retcent, nvincible, august We see you mother of sorrows wnere you stand The sword of heaven alive within your hand, The lilies in your hair Blood -spattered from the crown of thorns you wear Too high you stand for fears Too still and terrible for mortal tears. o France of the worlds desire, o France new-lighted by superna fire Wrapped in your battle-flame, All Nations take a splendor from your name; All souls are touched to greatness by your soul In YOU we are reborn to noble dreams In you again the sacred gleams From mans immortal goal The faith that rises from you as a star Will light the ages coming from afar, When shall band in confederate fate To build the beauty of the Comrade State.
