CUTTING RED TAPE.

The Tribune is very glad to learn that the
Farmers union of North Dakota has succeeded
so promptly in convincing the federal farm loan
hoard at Washington that discrimination against
Flickertail farmers in the matter OF farm loans
based on the sheerest of technlcaitles would De
unfair unjust, and, from production standpoint,
most unWise. ,
The probability that a first lien as provided
by the North Dakota seed and feed bonding ACT
ever will attach to the soil is most remote Such
a lien cannot apply until after October Is OF the
year in which the farmer obtains the speched
aid. In only the rarest instances will the farmer
by that date have failed to harvest sufficient
crops, upon which the law levies an original lien,
to satisfy the amount of his obligation under the
bonding act.
In any event as the Farmers union pointed
out, the infringement on the federal farm loan
banks first mortgage security would have been
Of the most technical nature The amount to be
secured by the states first lien on the seed and
feed bonds would be so trivial in comparison that
it really would not jeopardize the federal land
banks security in any real sense.
Farmers of North Dakota are indebted to the
Farmers Educational & Cooperative union for a
prompt adjustment of this misunderstanding
They are to be- congratulated upon, having such
an organization sincerely active in their inter-:
ests. The Farmers union owns no string Of news
papers and employs no press agents to blazon its
praises to the world Honestly, modestly, but
always efficiently, it is forging ahead, ever on
the alert to improve the condition of the farmer
and it is giving genuine service which the agrl-
cuturst Of North Dakota is beginning to appre.
'ciate.

WITH THE EDITORS.
THE OTHER SIDE.

With the approaching election the interest in
the Non-partisan league is increasing, if that
were possible. We have carefully read the papers
for some information that would be of vital in
terest to those opposed to this organization, but
we have seen nothing with the exception Of per-
sonal attack upon the leaders and more especially
Townley. In politics personal attacks upon per-
son gets nothing for the opposition and this is
true in any other business. So far nothing has
been said about the league so far as the farmers
are concerned, when boiled down, except that they
are dupes for the leaders. This has antagonzed
them and they consider that they have right
to spend their money as they see fit This paper
has taken little stand in the foolish controversy
that has been going on We have watched it
grow and out of what has been written the League
has long way the best of it. The editor of this
paper is not member of the Leagues propaganda
We cannot say we are in sympathy with it all, how
ever and therefore, now that the league has be-
come established and in view of the fact that
it will endeavor to control the next election, it
will be our aim to support such of their measures
as appeal to us as worthy and we will condemn
those that we think are unworthy.-Stanley Sum-

That's where the Red Cross comes
in. Think of it, fellows, what 1t means
to those boys of ours, who haven't

their Inconsistencies away! That's just
one of the things the Red Cross is no.

stand for something in your nome

in your communities. Go home ANA
prove it! We're going to need more
money soon to send more medicines
and nurses and bandages and doctors
over there to our boys. We're going
to need more money to buy yarn for
the soxs and sweaters and other
things that these patriotic women Mrs.
Conklin speaks of are knitting their
hearts and their souls and their tears
and their prayers into. The next time
someone asks You to head COM
mittee, don't soy \ can't do It, ] say
If you do you're towards, and if you
don't like that I'm ready to take my
coat off and meet you out here in the
street after this meeting adjourns."
President Goddard told how Bis.
marck and Burleigh county have gone
over the top again and again. Organic
alton did it, he declared, and he ex'
planned the plan of organization. Be-
fore he had closed he had extracted
from every man in the audience a
pledge to go home and do his very
best, do it willingly and efficiently:
judge A. N. Christianson. = =
Associate Justice A. NJ. Christianson
was the last speaker. He had been as:
signed Cooperation" The subject, he
declared too big to be dealt with in
the time allowed. He gave, however,
two splendid examples of cooperation
and the lack of it.. in the successful
coordination of effort which Ameri-
ca is applying to this war and OF the
chaos which is wrecking Russia. In
his experience as lawyer and Jurlst
he declared he had known much OF
cooperative organizations. He had
seen some of them fail, but 1t was al.
ways for the lack of cooperation anu
not because of cooperation. He sioced
by reading an excerpt from Lincoln
debate with Douglas, in which the
Great Emancipator affirmed the demo-
cratic principles for which America IS
fighting today. = ..'=

RUSSELL HAS "CHANGED"

Just before the coming of Charles Edward
Russell to this city last fall the Nonpartisan
league, through its local manager was invited
to assist in making the Russell meeting a sue
cess by helping get capacity house for the
speaker. The committee extending the invita-
ton on the part of the Commercial club and
Labors Loyal Legion was informed that the
leaguers would 'be "gad to hear what Mr. Rus
sell had to say about conditions in Russia" but
as to anything else that he had to say they would
not "give damn to hear him. that Mr. Rus
sell had 'changed" and was not the Russell the
league knew when he was counsellor in it's for
nation.
1t is true Charles Edward Russell has
'changed," and is mot the same RUSSELL" But
how has he changed? An ardent socialist of the
higher order, Mr.. Russell is still a socialist, and
was glad to go to Russia at the request Of the
president as he thought that in the revolution
there he would find the dawning of the day when
all men would be given equal opportunity to
enjoy life as he believed the creator intended.
But when the socialists objected to his journey,
and he persisted, he was read out of the party,
not so much because he was going to Russia, but
because his words and actions showed HE
PLACED COUNTRY ABOVE SOCIALISM.
From that day Mr.. Russell has been one of the
greatest opponents of Americansm He is a
patriot to the core and is devoting his time and
great talents to preaching loyalty to the govern
ment He still hopes for the fulfllment of his
theories, but, as he said in Fargo: There is no
use of wasting time on reform movements and
other matters until we know we will have a free
country in which to effect them, for there will
be no reforms if the kaiser rules"
Mr.. Russell, in Bismarck the other day, was
even more emphatic on the need of America de-
voting herself to winning the war, than he was
here, and he even went so far as to advocate the
rope and the rifle for those who betrayed their
country or theirsc citizenship.
What blessed thing for the state and the
country it would be if the socialists Of North

So H. P. Goddard wound up a rapid
fire, high-powered, gatling-gun talk to
the farmers Grain Dealers associa-
tion at the Auditorium last night, and
when wave upon wave Of applause
swept over the big building, until
every man and woman in the theatre
was clapping with their whole heart
and soul in it, this great cooperative
organization placed itself on record

4 COOPERATIVE DEMOCRACY.

Il come to you and ask you to solve your prob
lens today along economic lines and to be mighty
careful that you don't line up politically as neigh
bors against each other and divide your influence.
Attend to the growing and the marketing Of your
crops, and then you will be able to get what is
right, no matter who is elected to office"
Mlard R. Myers, the speaker at the Farmers
Grain Dealers association meeting in the Audi
forum last night is not paid agent of 'big bust
ness" He represents and is in the employ Of
the largest agricultural organization in tie world
He is himself one of the most thorough students
Of cooperation as applied to agricultural problems
that we have in America. His researches have not
been confined to the western continent. He only
recently has returned from Europe, where he
carefully went into the records as written by
three generations of successful cooperative effort
He cannot see in politics cure for the farm
ers' ills. He can no advantage in going off at
half cock, nor in following after wild-eyed agita-
tors who have no definite destination. He likens
many Of the farmers reform movements to ship
foundering about trackless sea, without rudder,
pilot or compass.
Mr.. Myers sanity and his logic should have
wholesome effect in North Dakota at this time
when every quack who advertises some new poll
tical panaeca cure-all for political ills seems
to find it so easy to enlist following. Mr.. Myers
is not talking theory but fact He knows the
cooperative game; he knows the problems of
farming and marketing, and what he says should
bear weight with the thinking, practical farmer.

carrying facilities of the railroads. Also to oper-
ate the coal producing and distributing industry
under the direction of the government The re-
port stated that unless this was done at once
there would be cold homes and that the serious
business of war industries would be interrupted.
This report by Commissioners Colver and
Davies was as prophetic as the Book of Prophets.
1t was prophetic in the same way that the mathe-
matician may prophesy that two lines which are
net parallel are sure to meet if indefinitely con-
tinued.
The answer is not as Senator Lodge suggests,
to surrender the coal and it's profits to the Pea
bodys and other operators. The answer is for
Uncle Sam to step in and handle the thing in
time.

SCHOOL ITEMS

During the past two weeks survey
has been made OF our school in the
subject of spelling from the third to
the eighth grades Inclusive This
survey has been made through the
application OF standard tests prepar-
ed by sonic OF cur most noted edu.
caticnal experts. According TO this
survey seventy per cent OF our pupils
are above standard in this subject.
The thirty per cent that are below
standard nearly all belong TO that
class Of pupils whose attendance at
school is most irregular. The eighth
grade made the best showing with a
percentage OF ninety above standard.
while the seventh grade was lowest,
only fifty per cent of the class being
equal 20 or above standard.
That the work at school is being
made more intensive is evident from
the fact that as late as four thirty
on any school day some teachers and
pupils may be found finishing their
work Of the Gay or preparing that OF
the next.
Some very excellent books have
been received recently among which
are. Our Country The Silent Wat.
Cers. "Alsaee Lorraine under Ger.
man Rule" Our Great Inventors and
Their Inventions" etc. Parents de-
string 10 read these or other books
