With the election only q few
days away, every League MEM
Der must remember the League
slogan, we'll stick, we'll win and
beware Of those wolves in sheep
clothing, who says II am a.
League man, but / don't like the
leaders and some Of the candi-
dates, or some of the amend
ments.: These fellows have
never been League men, they
only make that statement so
that their knocks and arguments
will carry more weight with, the
League members. And remem-
Der, if some of the candidates are
not as brilliant as we would like
to have them be, it is better to
have a poor man working for us
than to have a brilliant man
working against us. We all know
that in the past these self-styled
(or big biz styled brilliant men)
that we elected to our offices,
soon wanted to shine Respondent
in a gilded ballroom in million
aires society and when the mil
lionaires' furnished them the
money our hopes Of better laws
from those fellows went glim-
mering. A great many Of your
readers can recollect some few
years back when the Equity So
ciety was becoming a dark cloud
on the big biz horizon, how all
the kept press papers heralded
broadcast a prophecy of the late
Jas. J. Hill that conditions had
changed, and wheat would new
er again go below $1O0 per bu.
No need Of an Equity society
they told us, yet in a few years
wheat was down to Coo and Zoe
per bu. The Equity. is and was
a grand movement but all old
Equity men are agreed that we
soon found ourselves up against
a solid wall Of adverse laws that
we could not get through or over
without a political organization
of our own and without our own
people in all the legislative Of
fees and deep. down in his heart
every farmer knows that as soon
as our good government quits
fixing the price Of grain those
greedy grain gamblers, fellows
who produce nothing and have
no business in the game, will.
hammer our price down (away
DOWN again.
|! Unless we have men in all our
legislative offices who in their
hearts know the need of better
laws to permit us to get a fixed,
a better price for what we pro-
duce, don't forget those fellows
who in the past we elected to go
down and get us a terminal ele-
vator and state hail insurance
and when they came back they
told us the chamber of commerce
said we did not need a terminal
elevator and the big insurance
companies didn't want state hail
insurance, but we got you a good
law to regulate the sale of snuff,
and a law to make you plant
some shade trees, and the rail
roads are going to send you a
college man to tell you how to
raise, more grain. You won't
mind paying him a good salary,
will you Rube? Yes, these fell
lows were brighter than the poor
old farmers we are going to
elect now. Equity men, remem-
Der how those boys loved you
when they tried to kick you out
Of the hall at Fargo when you
were going to hold a peaceable
meeting to discuss grain prices.
They loved LOTUS then just like
they love Townley now, Ell!

LEAGUE PROGRAM PRACTICAL.

The outstanding fact about the program OF
industrial democracy made possible by the ten
Commandments is it's entire practicabllity. This
program is not experimental, but has been
tested by experience and every. one OF these
planks is now working successfully in several
parts of the world and resulting in great benefit
for both producer and consumer.
Sixteen states in the United States already
have adopted the Initiative and Referendum
and these measures also are operating IN
Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand.
Mississippi and Texas have state-oWned ter
minal warehouses. So has the City of Seattle,
Washington. So have several Canadian provin-
ces.
In Denmark, Germany and Australia the
people operate flour mills and packing plants
with great success.
Saskatchewan, Alberta and practically all the
Australian states exempt farm improvements
from taxation and they have tended to a
farming more profitable.
Saskatchewan, Alberta and our neighboring
state of Montana run their own hail insurance
and it is far cheaper, safer and more ~satisfac-
tory in every way than the costly hail insur-
ance issued by private companies which some
times are unreliable in paying losses.
The Australian states have conducted state
land banks for more than 20 years and loaned
out millions of dollars to farmers and city
workers on long time loans at an average rate
of Az per cent interest. These banks have been
Iul a. d plOAL. f
The proposal that the state issue bonds for
internal improvements and public utilities
causes a great uproar in the part OF Big Bust
ness but even this is by no means revolutionary
or experimental. Fourteen states in the Unit
ed States have NO LIMITATION OF PUBLIC
DEBT and this includes such old, conservative
commonwealth as Massachusetts,, Connect
cut, Vermont, Ohio and others.
IF the program proposed by. the Constitution
al Amendments were dangerous, revolution
airy and disastrous as it's Big Business oppon-
ents claim, they would fill their subsidized
newspapers Of this state with facts concerning
the operation of these planks in other places.
But they don't do this. Instead they DODGE
THE FACTS although these facts are easily
a~scertainable.
Why do they dodge the facts? Simply be-
cause the facts absolutely refute all their absurd
contentious and conclusively prove that this
program is practical and helps the people in all

terms. --
The confidence with which I venture
to speak for our people in these mat
ters does not spring from our tradi-
tons merely and the we'll known prin-
ciples of international actio which we
have always protested and followed.
In the same sentence in which I say
that the United States will enter into
no special arrangements or under
standings with particular nations let
me say also that the United States is
prepared to assume its full share of
responsibility for the maintenance of
the common covenants and uderstand-
ings upon (which peace must hence
forth rest. We still read Washigton's
immortal warning against "entangling
alliances" with full prehension
and an answering purpose. But only
special and limited alliances entangle,
and we recognize and accept the duty
of new day in which we are permitted
to hope for a general alliance which
will avoid entanglements and clear the
air of the world for common under
standings and the maintenance of
common rights.
II have made this analysis of the
international situation which the war
has created not, of course, because
l. doubt whether the leaders of the
great nations and peoples with whom
we are associated We're of the same
mind and entertained q like purpose,
but because the air every now and
then gets darkened by mists and
groundless doubtings and mischievous
perversions Of counsels and it is neces-
sary once and again to sweep the ire
sponsible talk about peace intrigues
and weakening morale and doubtful
purpose on the part of those in au-
thority utterly, and if need be uncere-
moniously, aside and say things in
the plainest words that can be found
even when it is only to say over again
what has been said before. quite as
plainly if in less unvarnished terms
LAS I have said, neither I nor any
other man in governmental authority
created or gave form to the issue of
this war. I have simply responded
to them with such vision as I could
command But I have responded
gladly and with a resolution that has
grown warmer and more confident as
the issues have grown clearer aand
clearer. It is now plain that they are
issues which no man can pervert
unless it be wilfully. [ am bound
to fight for them, and happy to fight
for them as time and circumstance
have revealed them to me as to all
the world. Our enthusiasm for them
grows more and more irresistible as
they stand out in more and more
vivid and unmistakabI outline.
And the forces that fight for them

II know I ought to take treatment;
I have been running down for the
last year or two. / am all tagged out,
have no ambition, worry from morn
ing till night, don't care whether L
am dead or alive, have lost weight and
cannot do the same work L used to
do some years ago. If L were as
strong as / was, I could earn good
money l know 1 ought to treat with
Hgood specialist, but [ cannot afford
to pay for the treatment"
You are paying for it NOW, my
friend, and dearly; yet you do not
get it.
Let me tell you why
Your health is your capital; your
working capacity is the interest you
are drawing.
A good manager never spends more
than his interest.
Should he begin to draw on the
capital his interest would, of course,
decrease.
And what are you doing?
You allow your health to run down
more and more; therefore, you can
not work and earn what you used to.
Do you see the point? You are draw
ing on your capital-which is your
healthy allowing it to run down,
and so the interest (your working
capacity is steadily growing smaller.
You used to make good money;
now you earn about half of what you
used to get.
To make two, three or four dollars
was play to you; and you had all
your heart and soul In your work.
These happy days are gone.
You now barely make a living and
find it almost beyond your strength.
And you shudder at the thought of
what will happen when the final
breakdown comes.
Figure out in dollars and cents
what you have lost already and you
will be amazed at the amount; and
what you are going to lose is beyond
estimation.
The dollar you MIGHT earn, but
don't, is an actual expense to you.
You spend it. And what do you get
for it, Worry, anxiety dependency,
want and deprivation for your family.
The dollar you take out of your
pocket and spend for treatment with
an experienced specialist is not an
expense. 1t is an investment. And in
return you get increased working
ability, higher wages, health and hap
4 piness at home.
Which will you choose?
Can you hesitate?
