WHERE POLITICS HAS NO
PLACE.

Full credit should be given the
war department for the manner in
which it has kept politics out Of the
army itself.
Even the most loose -tongued
critics of the government have not
been able to stir up discomfort on
the plea that rich mems sons are
evadlng their duties, or getting easy
berths, or that the influential are
securing exemptions.
The. best evidence OF that fact is
in the record OF the sons Of Presi-
dent Wilson's cabinet officers. Nine
sons of cabinet officers are now
serving in the army, navy or marine
corps. Here Is the list given in The
OficiaI Bulletin:
William G. McAdoo, Jr, son OF the
Secretary OF the Treasury, is under
training in the Aviation section in
the Naval Reserve. and second son,

What is a Liberty bond?

What is a Liberty bond?
-Inconceivable as it seems, it is
nevertheless true that many Ameri-
cans have yet a very hazy idea Of
what a government bond Is.
The government bond is a method
adopted by the government for bor-
rowing money. The bond is the gov
ernment's promissory note. 1t Is an
unconditional promise of the United
States of America to pay upon a
certain date a specified sum Of money
in gold, together with interest which
IS payable semi-annually.
Why is a Liberty bond?
The Liberty Bonds are being sold
because the government needs cash
to carry on the war.
Where is the Liberty bond sold?
At any bank in Fargo or in North
Dakota.
Does the bank make any profit
from them?
Not a penny. Not even the cost OF
handling the sale OF them.
Are they a good investment?
II they are not, nothing in Ameri-
ca Is. Even the money you pay for
the bonds is no good If the bonds
are not. Examine that IS bill in
your pocket. It is a promise Of the
United States government to pay
YOU S. on demand. The bond is a
promise to pay you $50 at stated
time. If one promise is no good, the
other isn't. II there is any safe in
vestment left in the world 1t is a

THE HIGH COST OF FREE
SPEECH"

Twenty years in the penitentiary is
the maximum sentence that may be
Imposed on Daniel II. Wallace, con-
xicted under the espionage act, of
making disloyal speech at Daven-
port, la.
This is the first conviction under
this act, although other cases are
pending in various parts Of the coun-
try.
The espionage act is not a myth;
1t is hard. cold reality. Making a
seditious speech is as much crime
as stealing horse or numbering a
human being.
The offensive against the "Hun at
home" is gaining a decisive result.
one by one the German and the dis
loyal newspapers are dropping out of
existence. Itinerant preachers OF
sedition are finding it more and more
difficult to get a hearing, and when
the hearing has been secured, they
are finding discretion the better part
of valor and are carefully editing
their remarks. Twenty years in pris-
pn Is too high price for them to
pay for insisting on the right to
talk treason in wartime.

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted to the Task OF
Keeping Up With North Da-
kota Editors.

The storm Of condemnation for the
st. Paul meeting Of the Nonpartisan
league, has not yet abated in the
state. The Mandan Pioneer has this
to say:
Whatever action may be taken
in regard to the speech of Robert
M. La Toilette at the Nonpartisan
meeting at st. Paul the fact re-
mains that La Toilette is already
branded in the minds of the Am
erican people, branded so in
delibly that though he might live
a thousand years it would not be
eradicated.
1t is hardly fair for the Nom
partisan kept press" and for the
Nonpartisan kept political lead
ers" to get out from under and
make La Toilette the goat.
The New Rockford Transcript
ventures the opinion that the league
members are loyal and are suffering
unjustly because Of the attitude of
La Toilette. 1t says:
After the ringing loyalty
resolutions passed by the farm
ers and the consumers at st.
Paul last Thursday afternoon
it is a crying shame that Sedi-
ZIONIST La Toilette was allowed
free rein to spout his traitoristic
views. The majority of the mem
bers of the Nonpartisan league
are loyal to the core, and it is
not fair that they must help bear
the stigma arising from the
= frothy vapOrings of a man who is
mentally unbalanced on the ques-
tion of loyalty.
The Slope County News thinks
soap box sedition is bad enough but
that senatorial sedition is many
times worse. 1t says:
Soap box sedition is bad en-
ough-But what will we say
about senatorial sedition. All
over the country men who make
disloyal statements are being
called to an accounting but at
the same time men in the Unit
ed States senate apparently are
allowed to spout the most un- :
patriotic remarks. And their
activities are not confined to the
senate chambers either. In the
cause of justice let the law apply
equally to the senator and the

The other day a merchant in New York state
unearthed a grocery bill of 1897. For curiosity's
sake he set down in an opposite column the
amounts at which the same good sell today.
In 1897 the bill amounted to 1921.
In 1917 the identical items came to $8.42, an
increase of over 300 per cent.
The bill includede butter, eggs, bacon, turnips,
cheese, onions, flour, oatmeal, chicken, crackers,
milk, sugar, lard, potatoes and a broom. Flour
and potatoes had registered the biggest advance,
costing five times as much as in 1897. The turnip,
which scientists say consists largely Of water, had
gone up $50 per cent. Onions, strong in odor,
were five times stronger in value. h

SORCHUMS AND MILLETS THE
BEST CROPS TO FURNISH HAY
FOR THE SOUTH.

Washington, D. c., May 1S.-In
the Southeastern States the sweet
sorghums, Sudan grass, millets, and
suited for summer planting. The
transportation problem. under pres
emit conditions, promises to be a
highly important one. 1t is very de-
sirable for this reason that farmers
in the Southeastern States should
grow sufficient hay to feed their work
stock and other farm animals instead
of importing it from other sections
of the country. By doing this, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture states they will relieve the
pressure on transportation agencies
and release large quantities of mar
ketable hay for the use of the army.
The forage crops named succeed
even on the moderately fertile lands
of the South.
1t is not necessary, however, for
the cotton farmer to reduce his
acreage in cotton to insure himself of
an abundance of hay for his w live
stock. Usually there is a large
amount of untitled land in the South
and if this were utilized in the pro-
duction of forage there would be an
abundance of hay to supply all home
requirements. -,
One feature to be considered if
southern farmers are to produce their
own hay, is the cost and scarcity of
seed for planting. In particular the
price of Sudan grass seed is so high
that it practically prohibits the seed
ing of this crop for hay purposes.
To a certain extent this is true also
of the cowpea. On the other hand,
seed of millets and the sorghums can
be obtained at a much more reason
able price. These, therefore, are
recommended as the most satisfac-
tory crops for providing hay for home
consumption in the Southeast.
In order to conserve the seed sup
ply of sweet sorghums it is advised
that the practice of seeding these
sorghums broadcast or in close drills
be discontinued very largely for the
present. Sixty pounds of seed pei
acre are required where these crops
are drilled or broadcasted, and only
five pounds if planted in rows and
cultivated. This latter method re-
ouires more labor, but the yield pei
acre of fodder will equal or exceed
the yield of hay from broadcast OF
drilled seedlings and a much larger
acreage can be planted with the same
amount of seed.
