To the Editor of The Forum:
Few Americans, unless they are Of Irish de-
ward the English government. The feeling is
much the same as the Poles entertain towards
and this feeling will never die out until Ireland
gets her freedom from English rule.
Naturally every Irishnan At to hght ought
to be over in France helping their kindred
races fight the Teutonic barbarians And il
they were free, they no doubt would fight with
out being conscrpted. But to be conscripted to
fight freedoms battles by a nation that has
trampled on their freedom for centuries and col
onized portion of their country with an allen
race in order to keep them in subsection is so
much like the German method of subduing sub
ject races that we, who understand what real
world from such tyranny. can afford to be gem
erous in opinion Of the Irish and insist upon
before enforcing CONSUMPTION In fact I be-
lieve that IL our government would promise
Ireland to back her to obtain home rule that
would be suffcient to get every lighting man in
Ireland into the army.
No one can successfully charge the Irish with
being towards If they refuse to fight now,
it may be because they mistrust Englands mo-
tives in this war, while they have entire faith

ton Of Axel Strom. sheriff of Williams county.
In the article it was made to appear that the
deputy, who by action of the board was removed,
was incompetent. and that his removal was be-
cause Of that fact
The facts are, that he was removed by the
board result OF policy of retrenchment,
which policy was carried out to the extent of
removing more deputies from the ONCE
Of practically every officer of the county, and
includes deputies and clerks from the office OF
the judge of the county court, clerk of the dis

A Column Devoted To The Task OF Keep
ing Up With North Dakota Editors

The Lisbon Free Press discusses CreeIs break
as follow:
God our government was unprepared" when
the United States entered into this world
war He probably wished to imply that we
were a peaceful nation, but his words must
sound very comforting to our boys, who are
fighting in the trenches in France. For if
we had been prepared at the outset to throw
million men into France the war would be
over now and thousands of lives saved. Y
what 1t has learned from reading The Non
partisan Leader. as follows:
Only those who work with their hands are
producers. All others parasites.
Only those who till the land are farmers.
The whole world shares the product
classes. abig1biz" and Slittle-bizp The for
mer must be killed by law and the latter
with cooperative stores
There are only two classes of monopoly or
trust that should be allowed by law, viz
labor unions and political social and BUSH
ness trust OF farmers.
All classes Of business people have COM
bined to rob the farmers.
There Is only one honest state government
in the Union and MIR, 7. is too modest to
name that one
It is the farmers duty to buy Liberty
bonds IL he has any money left after paying
his party dues and giving hundred dollars
to the cooperative store scheme.
We must kill the German kaiser just as
soon as we get rid of the American kaisers.
This is a rich mans war and they should
be subjected to a wealth CONSUMPTION sufl-
Gent to pay for it as we go, If there is a
surplus then it should be loaned to the
farmers to buy seed
War like charity, begins at home. We
have plenty to fight without going across
the sea.
The Union forever-that is to say, union of
farmers and of labor.
Every boy should enlistunless he is
working a farm.
No matter what the leaders teach, no mat
ter how many organizers slip over and get
into jail for sedition, the farmers are in
tensely loyal.
The best and easiest way Of showing 10y
atty lis by a set OF resolutions lproperly
qualifed) declaring personal patriotism.
If the government owned all the public
utilities and the farmers owned the gov
ernment--then the millennium.
There is no other class OF people that have
an equal amount OF honesty and wisdom as
have farmers. Hence we should exclude all
others from caucuses and conventions.
Ii lis perfectly proper and honest for a
farmer to tell the assessor that he is a
Democrat or d Republican, when he does not
intend to vote either ticket But the asser
ton OF d mere Democrat or Republican that
he viii vote the Nonpartisan ticket will not
make him a. GonpaTtisan. lie must frst buy
a farm and then pay sac.
One az the best ways to inspire patriotism
and encourage enliatmante and money con-
frfbt1tions is to show bY cartcature cartoons
how rotten is the government and people for
which we are now lighting.

JEROME SUPERIOR IS
 PLACING MACHINERY

JEROME, March 3.-With the eX- ception of the hoist, the Jerome Su- perior Copper company's new plant of machinery is in operation. The hcist. an eighty-horsepower machine, would have been on the ground before this but for a mistake of the m21ufac- turers. It was equipped with a gear instead of a friction clutch. This was to have been shipped from Los An geles to Clarkdale and it had to be sent back to San Francisco for the change. Now it is ready for shipment direct to Clarkdale as soon as freight car can be secured.
 The compressor is pounding away and giving good service. It delivers 570 cubic feet of air a minute at this altitude. 625 feet at sea level.
 Three machine drills are working one shift The slowness of the little fifteen-horsepoweE hoist now in use precludes their being operated more than eight hours a day. Still. an av- craze speed of two and half feet ev- cry twenty-fOur hours is being main tained. Three shifts will be put to work as socn as the new hoist is in- stalled.
 At 227 feet the shaft. now down 24O feet, passed out of the diorite and into an oxidized red calcium that is almost a porphyry. Like the diorite from TO down. the calcium carries tiny flecls of native copper. A recent assay showed four-tenths one percent copper. 1-2 ounces silver and a trace of gold.
