Non-partisan Leagues
Loyalty Questioned

During the past few weeks con-
siderable publicity has been given
the activities of organizers of the
Non-partisan League, and by looks
of things they are getting in bad,
both in Montana and Minnesota.
There have been rumors for
some time to. the effect that
leaders and promoters of the
League have a tendency to be on
the disloyal order, and recent de-
velopments indicate that there is
something to it. Only last week
doseph Gilbert, state manager of
the Non-partisan League in Mimi
esota, was sentenced in District
Court at Red Wing, Mimi, to one
years Imprisonment and $4,000
fine, following a conviction on
disloyalty charges.
A short time ago A. j. McGlyn
an organizer that has been work
ing in various parts of Montana
was prevented from holding
meeting at Miles City, by members
of the Committee of Public Safety
which comprises of q of its most
prominent citizens. McGlyn was
informed that the patriotic, loyal
citizens of that town, whom they
represented, did not consider his
meeting was for the welfare of
the government at this time, and
rather than cause any disturbance
kindly asked him not to hold the
meeting and escorted him to the
train to see that no harm was
done him, as the citizens would |
tolerate nothing unpatriotic.
Mr. McGlyn then got funny and |
appealed to attorney general Ford
for help, and Ford who ofcourse
is known to be flirting with Non
partisans, thought he really had
something on the Miles City bunch
and ordered the county attorney
to have them arrested on kid
mapping charge. Hearing in the
case was held last Monday and
Judge Glib dismissed the case,
declaring no evidence had been
abducted to warrant holding
them. Following the trial McGlvn
was placed under arrest and he is
now in jail at Miles City on a Sc
dition charge That proves that it
was a wise move. on the commit
tees part, that he was prevented
from holding the meeting.
Now why is it that the leaders
of the League uphold and defend
such workers and organizers as
this? They defended Gilbert in
Minnesota but. wasn't he found
guilty on disloyal charges? If the
League was loyal they would not
tolerate such things, as it certainly
is bound to reflect upon the or
oanization as q. WHOLE

between them is necessary. Without it,
the best results have not been produced.
With it, much might be expected.
It was time for Congress to wake up.
The President was overloaded. he was
not complaining. But complaints from
other sources had begun to make them
selves heard, and they deserved atten-
tion.
The congressional investigations now
in progress should continue. Any proven
executive errors committed should
be corrected. Steps against repetitions
should be taken. Senators and repre-
sentatives should speak out from their
places, not, Of course, for trouble making
purposes, but to assist in shaping and
carrying forward improved policies.
Both in the British parliament and in
the French legislative chambers free
speech ON war matters has from the first
been INDUCED in; and by that means
many changes for the better in war ac-
tivities by Great Britain and France
have been brought about.

Congress Finding Itself.

In both political and business circles
there IL approval Of the keen interes.
Congress is taking in war activities. A
phrase in use is that Congress is find
ing itself" 1t is discovering opportuni-
ties for usefulness, and obeying sugges-
tions that they be improved.
At the special session everything was
done hurriedly. Nearly everything was
given over to the executive. Let the
President do it. Congress appeared al
most in the role of dodger. 1t voted
money without limit, and passed meas
ures as drawn outside.
The President did not object. He un-
dertook every task assigned. Here was
Ha., and he was commander-in-ch chief of
the Army and Navy.
The questions presented had to dc
with military and with business matters
Business must be co-ordinated to assist
the fighting machine. And yet the Presi.
dent was without experience in either
the military or the business field.
1t thus became necessary for him to
select assistants from, and for, both
those fields. That he made mistakes in
some of the selections was not at al
surprising; and they were confessed in
changes that promptly followed. Changes
were necessary in order to prevent par
alysis and utter confusion.
At that time everything was new t.
everybody. Neither Congress nor ths
President did, or could, see the size Of
the war order. Only in q vague way
both calculated that it was very large.
Congress, the President and the coun
try now see that to execute the orde,
requires all the power the country pos
sesses and that it must bs exercised

The Call to the Farmers.

This is the critical year in the war,
says the President to the farmers. The
United States must supply the food
needs of the allied countries as well as
itself. To this end our farmers must
plant their greatest acreage and raise
their greatest crops.
No more serious warning of the mag
nitude of the task which this country
has assumed has been uttered than this
statement to the farmers assembled at
Urbana, whom the President had ex-
pected to address in person. He states
the case of the United States against
Germany in terms that cannot fail to
cause them to realize that this is life
and death struggle which must be won,
which Will be won. But the winning of
it will entail heavy sacrifices. 1t will
put the farmers of the country, as we'll
as the fighters, to the supreme test of
loyalty and public spirit. 1t will call
for exertions greater than any of the
past to make victory certain.
In no more vivid manner has the vital
Importance of the American farm as
a factor for national preservation been
set forth than in this communication,
which is written for the eye Of the
world. The President does not magnify
unduly the weight of the responsibility
that now rests upon the agriculturists Of
this country. He speaks from intimate
knowledge Of the conditions both at
home and abroad. He promises the farm
ers every possible aid in materials and
in labor that the government can rem
der. He assures them of assistance in
the matter of price for their necessities.
He ikens their efforts in the national
interest to those of the farmers at Lex
ington, who, when the call sounded, laid
aside their tools for guns and fred the
shots that opened the great battle for
American liberty.
But now the farmers of the United
States must not lay aside their tools.
! They are not to take up arms. They
ARE not to be called to- camps and the
5 trenches for military duty, but they are
drafted nevertheless for service just
rs necessary, just as important as that
rendered by the men in the ranks and
the sailors on the seas. And they will
be fighting as they toll in the fields,
planting their crops in the spring, cul-
tivating them through the summer, har-
svesting them in the autumn, not merely
for American interests, but the freedom
Of humanity, for the endangered and
beleagured and barbarously injured peo-
pie Of Europe now allied with us in this
fight for freedom from military autoc-
racy.

The German Revolt.

1t is undoubtedly premature to look
for the collapse of the German military
program because Of the internal trou-
bles now prevalent in the empire.
Strikers may have quit work by the hun
dreds Of thousands, tying up important
industries and spreading disaffection
among the people. But the German gov
ernment is not impotent, to cope with
such strain. It still has the army at
command to put down revolt and it will
probably do so.
Indeed, it would not be desirable, from
the point Of view Of the allied nations,
for the present strikes to bring the
German government to the point Of
peacemaking. There is in this out
break of discomfort not yet a symptom
Of revolution against the dynastic rule,
no protest against the mode Of auto
cratic government. Not until the Ger
man people are at the point Of refusal
to follow longer the lead Of irrespon.
sible rulers will the spirit Of conquest
that is the root of the evil Of today be
broken.
Repression by force of arms may come
in Germany in the immediate crisis. In
one respect it is to be hoped for by the
enemies Of Germany. For. repression
will not allay the sentiment for peace
and bring aHeviation Of intolerable con-
ditions. It will merely postpone the
day Of final reckoning and intensity the
bitterness felt by the people. When
the revolt that the government at Ber-
lin must eventually meet comes it will
be the more determined for any severi-
ties that may now be practiced.
There is great encouragement for the
allies in the fact that this first protest
on large scale against the German mill
tary program has gone SO far and in.
volved such large number Of workers
It indicates that the leaven Of. free
thought is working in the lump. Doubt.
less this is direct result of the nego-
tiations with Russia and the opening Of
the gates to the infusion of bolshevik
ideas into Germany. Russia NAV still
be Germany's nemesis.

Enlarge the District Court!

Speed in the enactment of the bill
now pending in Congress for the ap-
pointment of two additional judges to
the District Supreme Court is urgently
necessary. Present conditions are such
that every day of delay is adding to the
congestion of cases in this jurisdiction.
At its full capacity the District court
is unable adequately to cope with the
cases filed with it, and the calendar is
always in a state of arrears. But just
now cne of the justices is incapaeitated
through illness, having been absent from
the bench since Christmas, while the
chief justice of the court has been COM
PEELED to close his court to serve as a
member of the railroad wage commits
sion, to which he was summoned by the
President. Thus the court is working
with four justices, when six are unequal
to the burden now ordinarily borne
Consequently cases are held on the cal
endar for a length of time that in many
instances defeats the ends of justice.
For instance, case in the 400 group
filed last April will not, at the present
rate of procedure, be reached for two
years to come, thus causing it to be in
pendency for fully three years. The
court is now in the 200 group on the
calendar.
In these conditions, if the bill is
promptly passed, it will be in the in
terest of justice and the clearing of the
calendar if the appointees named under
it are men familiar with the local prac-
tice. 1t has been the experience here
tofore that, no matter how able, justices
named from outside of the District have
been handicapped and their work nee
essarily rendered more deliberate by
the necessity of learning the procedure
of this jurisdiction. 1t has been esti-
mated that it usually takes two years
for an appointee from outside of Wash
ington to bring himself up to equal
familiarity with the law as here admin
istered to that of a local appointee.
With only two District men, strictly
speaking, on the bench today and four
appointed from outside of the District,
the selection Of two Washingtonians for
the positions provided for by the pend
ing bill would merely establish the bal
ance which is supposed to be maintained
in view of the fact that this is a federal
as well as local court.

TIMES Of the country.
Politics we have always with US.
Activities are never suspended. They
are essential to the country's welfare.
They are more pronounced at some
times than at others, but even in what
may be called restful times there is
something doing.
Party managers democrats and re-
publicans alike-are frankly figuring on
next November. They could not con-
ceal the matter ift they would. But
they make no attempt to conceal it.
Everybody knows the Importance and
significance of what is on the card.
In one sense November is distant. In
another sense it is near. The politicians
are taking it in the latter sense. Hence
the industry they are already showing.
They give the impression that there is
no time to be lost; that arrangements
for the tussle at the polls then should
be completed as soon as possible.
There is no reason why this spirit
should interfere in any way with the
prosecution Of the war. Questions Of
legitimate party concern exist, and must
be dealt with. They could not we'll be
postponed until the close of the war,
for the reason that nobody may say
how long the war will last. It may last
several more years. There is no sign
today of an end, nor any expression on
either side but Of a purpose to 60 on.
The two parties united in putting
this country into the struggle, and both
are committed by that act to the sup
port Of hostilities while they last. There
are differences now, and there will
probably be others, about the conduct
Of the war, but not on party lines.
They are certainly not following party
lines today, and there is no reason to
expect them to shift.
Any attempt by either party to play
politics with the war would inevitably
fail. The President is cohmander-in.
chief of the Army and Navy, and as
such is charged with the leading re-
sponsibility for prosecuting the war:
and as such is entitled to the support of
both parties, subject only to differences
of opinion and criticism growing out Of
his use of means provided.
