HITCHEs HIS WAGON TO A BEER KEG

HITCHES HIS WAGON TO A BEER KEG
May we not be permitted to suggest as
the new Townley coat Of arms, beer cask
couchant in a field of rye, with Mr.. Town
lev and a brewer arms entwined and the
motto: UNITED we stand; dlVlded we
fall''?
Mr.. David H. Evans, the moist and Non
partisan candidate for governor Of Mime
sofa, has given his word that he will veto
statutory prohibition provided it is EN-
acted if constitutional prohibition should
fail this coming fall
Shades Of William LANCER, the fearless,
liquor fighting draft exemptee OF North
Dakota
Can it be that Mr.. Townley's German
language press has converted him to the
genial customs Of the Fatherland?
Is his case so desperate that he can find
support by attaching himself to the coat
tails of the Minnesota brewers skidding
rapidly toward the precipice Of prohibi'
ton, state and national?
Even his pale yellow organ Of innocuity
here in Fargo gagged little at swallow
ing such a morsel. It contented itself with
side page, that the Nonpartisans, together
with the brewers would have a candidate
in the field in Minnesota.
We sympathize with our contemporary.
Every time it prepares to get its feet set
tied on the first rung Of the ladder Of re-
spectability by long and trying period Of
keeping quiet, somebody kicks away the
supports It must be hard for the boys to
keep the doors locked on so many family
skeletons. Eastman, Kate O'Hare, the
l. w. W., the Jail birds among the league
organizers, Lindbergh's book, the store
plan, and now the brewers, just to- enum-
crate a few of them.
Perhaps it would be friendly act to
suggest line Of argument to support Mr.
Townley's alliance with the Minnesota
brewers. The brewers are no longer Big
Business, because they are losing all their
ill-gotten gains.
Nor will we be so unkind now as to re-
fer to the Townley Booze Organ, or the
Brewery Sheet The office boys here in
Fargo are not to blame. What can be ex-
pected when the editor and proprietor
down in st. Paul regulates his political
principles by geography

TIE REAL OBJECTIVE.

In the present offensive in France it is
possible to become so absorbed in the study
of the war map that the real objective of
General Foch may be overlooked.
His real objective is not the Hindenburg
line, nor even the clearing Of France and
Belgium Of the Huns, or even the reaching
Of Berlin. HIS objective is the German
army
When the German army has been shat
tered The trip to Berlin can be made By

Montana appears to have decided that
Miss Rankin shall not win the double
honor of being the first woman senator as
well as the first representative in the lower

Montana overlooked the inauspicious

Rankin s negative vote ON the war. It was
the prerogative of the sex, even though it
poorly reflected the dignity and intelli-
gence of the women she represented. But

The observation-disclosures figure of
Senator Vardaman of Mississippi will be
missing from the senate. His attitude to-
ward the war didn't set well with his con-
stituents. He is the senator who said, the
United States stabbed Germany in the
back, while England and France held her
down..
And Henry Ford probably will not be
permitted to "create q vacancy in the
automobile business in order to perpetuate
vacancy in the senate. He won the
Democratic nomination, but was decisively
defeated for the Republican, and the man
who beat him for the latter can beat him at
the final election in Republican Michigan,
even though President Wilson decides to
revoke his announcement that "politics is
adjourned" and take further part in the
campaign.
Nobody questions Mr. Ford's ability as
manufacturer, but our recollection Of the
peace ship and certain ante-war profess
sions of intentionalism is too vivid to trust
him fully as a senator in wartime.
Cole Blease will no longer represent
North Carolina
And Earnie Lundeen and Congressman
Dillon of South Dakota will return from
their well merited snub at the hands of
the British army to retire to private life.

judgment Of democracy.

lowered by repeated defeats that German
troops will surrender in wholesale lots like
this, the distance of the scene of battle from

For months the county agricultural
agents have been making a special
drive for more and better home gar

on demonstrating the use of kafir corn

Some Things the Food Law Did.

Reviewing the'ten years in which the
federal food and drugs act has been
in operation, the annual report Of the
bureau Of chemistry, United States de-
partment of agriculture. says the law
has done much to safeguard milk i'm
ported from Canada or shipped in in
terstate commerce; to control the traf-
fic in polluted oysters and practically
to stop the traffic In decomposed
canned fish; to lessen the shipment Of
decomposed canned beans and shell
eggs and to decrease the manufacture
Of foods from refuse materials, corre-
spondingly improving the sanitary con-
ditions in food factories.
Ten years ago, the report says, much
Of the baking powder and gelatin and
some of the confectionery was contain
mated with small quantities of lead or
arsenic. This Is not the case today.
The coloring of canned peas with
copper and the use of number of dam
gerons preservatives have been sup
pressed. The act also has made II
possible to control a number of other
practices more or less dangerous to
health.

poultry and eggs, allowing contribu-
tons in any amounts, from the small

The county agent responded by going
to his office and ordering circulars an
nouncing that cooperative shipment
of poultry would be made a few days
later. 1t was n new and untried idea
in Carroll county. but he believed it
would go. 1t was explained in the cir
cular that the produce would be
shipped on the same basis that hogs
