An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

The Kansas City Star: Accord
ing to a news story from Kansas, the
farmers of that state are not rush
ing into the NOnpartisan league as
rapidly as they were expected to do
by the managers OF that party.
Three reasons are assigned for this
disappointment to the Nonpartisan
league managers:
1. The Kansas farmers have the
names of La Toilette and the /. w.
w. associated with the Nonpartisan
league.
2. The Kansas farmers believe
from experience that it is not pos
sible to organize an effective politi
cal party Of any particular class Of
citizens.
8. The Kansas farmers object to
paying SIC for a membership in a
secret political party.
Well, who could state the objec-
tons to the Nonpartisan league
more clearly or more forcefully than
the Kansas farmers?
The Duluth Herald: II Mr.. Town
ley of the Farmers Nonpartisan
league" in his multitudinous de-
mands upon country newspapers for
a "retraction" has any purpose of
intimidating the rural press, as some
Of them charge, he isn't doing at all
well with 1t.
So far as we have observed, not a
single paper has retracted, and
virtually every one noticed with a
demand for retraction has come back
in gallant fashion. For instance The
Battle Lake Review, at the end of a
long discussion of the demand, most
ly taken up with reprints from re-
ports of Townley's speeches, says:
THE Battle Lake Review stands
patti" The Hibbing Tribune responds
very tartly, in a manner that cannot
be at all pleasing to Mr.. Townley's
lawyer. And so with the rest of
them.
The Minnesota county press doesn't
seem to scare worth a cent.

THE GUN BEHIND THE DOOR.

Underneath the silken glove ex-
tended to the railroad men in Presl-
dent Wilson's letter to Judge Cham
bers, is this significant phrase: The
last thing | should wish to contem-
plate would be the possibility of TAX
ing any unusual measures to oper-
ate the railways"
The unusual measures" in plain
words, would be CONSUMPTION of la
bot and the government operation
of the roads.
Mr.. Wilson is speaking softly
but carrying the big stick" in this
instance. 1t is not a bluff, but a plain
statement Of what may be expected
by both the railroad employees and
the employers. 1t is the gun be-
hind the door" and If the appeal he
made at Buffalo fails through the
fault of either side to the contro-
versy, the gun will be used.

the causes of the deaths.

A Column Devoted to the Task of
Keeping UP With North Da-
kota Editors.

The New Rockford Transcript man
doesn't find any hardship in food
conservation. He says:
We have tried out the corn
cakes recommended for the
wheatless breakfast and with
plenty of maple we believe that
we would be able to go on indef-
initely carrying out this part of
the food conservation program.
Rye bread isn't so bad, but we
are afraid that our Norwegian
blood would revolt at too much
potato pie. AS for the meatless
days, with chicken, trout, frogs
legs, lobster and oysters to pick
from where is the man who can't
maintain his corpulent appear
ance If he has the price.
The Casselton Reporter intimates
that the grumblers will have some
thing to grumble about when Amer
lea really gets into the war. 1t says:
The grumblers will have q
chance to get in their whole line
of talk, If the war continues.
When the army is expanded to
duced to 10 and raised to IS, and
all profits over $4,000 a year
taken, we are likely to hear
something-or perhaps less since
the malcontents are liable to be
interned before that day. If our
whole people would get behind
the boys now in the ranks and
back them up intellectually
all the time, it's possible, even
probable, that the necessity for
further CONSUMPTION of men
and money might be curtailed.
The ParshaIl Leader wants the
German language newspapers GUST
ed, and makes the following plea for
an an English press:
Coincident with Brazil's dec
laration it was at war with Ger
many was the seizure of German
vessels, internment Of Germans
and prompt seizure of every
paper printed in the German
language. We believe the United
States could do well in patterning
after Brazil in the latter respect.
The publication of papers in
the German language should
have been taboo long ago,
the publishers either made to
suspend during the war or print
their papers in the English Ian
guage, so that all of Us could
read and judge of their loyalty.
Again and again we have heard
the charge made that most of
them are disloyal in a yelled and
covert way. Just imagine, IL you
can, Germany at this time toler-a
ating a paper published in the
English language.

EVANGELIST HEARD
BY LARGE NUMB Err

The Gonzalez Baptist church was
crowded out Sunday at II o'clock
a. m, when Rev. Gypsy Smith, Jr.,
delivered a strong address on the fol-
lowing subject: "What 1t Is to Be-
Heve in Christ" The evangelist held
the congregation in his grip for near
ly an hour despite the fact that the
house was crowded to its capacity and
a great many standing through the
entire service. One thing of inter
est was the attendance of about 80
or 40 convicts that came up to the
church and took stand in one body
just outside Of the window near the
speaker. The Gonzalez people feel
grateful to the evangelist for his
visit to their church.

PRIMITIVE ARMS
USED IN AUSTRIA

Comen, Austria, March 25.-Cor-
respondence of The Associated Press.
In the Austro- Italian theatre of
war may be met the crudest and most
primitive along with the most ad-
vanced of military equipment. Arms
of the stone age crowd here the most
up-to-date instruments-the cleo
trically controlled, indirect fire forty
two centimeter howitzer stands be-
side the rock throwing catapult.
From the ancient siege tower to the
modern turret gun is often but sim
gle step, figuratively.
Here may be found infantry
trained in throwing stones, or liber-
ating avalanches Of rock by moving
a single lever. Several boards fall
out of their place and down the
mountain side riccochet tons of boul-
ders to kill and MAIN the attacking
forces. The knife and mace are pre-
ferred to the bayOnet in many places.
because advance upon the enemy's
position by stealth, over boulder
fields, does not favor carrying a ri
file. The medieval petard, now
known as hand grenade, is favor
tie. On the Isonzo the Italians use
flying mine, an aerial torpedo of
fifty-two centimeters calibre, a re-
turn to the days of the thirty years
war, when artillery did just that and
no more.
Though the rock catapult be han
died by modern artillery men, off
cered by individuals we'll versed in
artillery mathematics, who can place
shell ten miles off in the very spot
where they want it, one finds that
the machine used differs nowise from
the one employed by the Romans in
the siege of Jerusalem. It's main
principle is a beam thrown forward
by steel springs.
The chemical fire which the
Greeks used to destroy the Persian
fleet is one of the other ancient war
means found along the Italian front,
though it is by no means limited to
this theatre of war. The cousin of
this noxious arm, the gas bomb, and
the gas distributor generally, is we'll
known along the Isonzo. Both sides
have placed gas in their service, and
both have been obliged to adopt the
gas mask.
The Italian front has other strik-
ing contrasts. In Southern Tyrol and
on the Krn, men fight either in or on
