The man was employed by Mr.. Town
ley and to presume that Mr.. Townley
doesn't know what his organizers are
doing is not giving him credit for
the shrewdness he has proven he
possesses.
The brand Of disloyalty has been
placed on league organizers in Min
nesota. 1t is the Brand OF Cain and
they are squirming under it, .
But the men who are branding the
farmers themselves as disloyal are
not the opponents of the league lead
ers. or the so-called kept press, or
even big Business.
The men who are branding the
farmers as disloyal are the league
leaders OF Mr.. Martins stripe. and
the Townley newspapers that defend
such organizers instead Of repudiat-
ing and denouncinE them.
A man is known by the company
he keeps. When he associates with
men who have to be continually de-
Tending their loyalty. he is laying
himself open to question. The For
UNI has never questioned. privately or
publicly. the loyalty of farmers as a
class. but IL is not because of their
fealty to the league Ieaders-rather
in spite Of it.

FRED HUBER, DAKOTA
TRAIL MARKER. dies
Was Member Of Crew That Made
First Trip Up Yellowstone With
Late Captain Marsh.

Elbowoods, N. D., April 5. - Fred
Huber. who is dead at his home here.
where for many years he was en-
ployed as agency clerk, was one Of
the small and fast diminishing COM
pany of real pioneers left in the
BerthOld reservation country. Born
in New York city in 1856, Huber en-
listed as q field musician in 1871, and
In 1872 was assigned to Fort Buford.
Huber had the good fortune to be
one of the guards assigned to the
famous Far West in its romantic first
trip up the Yellowstone, under the
late Capt. Grant Marsh, who had
been detailed to carry supplies to
Camp Hancock for General Custer,
and in 1874 he was a member of the
party which located and established
permanent boundary marks between
America and the dominion. He was
discharged in 1876 and went as far
as Bismarck. with the intention of
returning to New York. The cali Of
the north was too much for him,
however. A boat lay at the dock load
ing for Fort Berthold. and when it
steamed away up the river, Huber
went with 1t.
Five wears after his arrival at Fort
Berthold, then an agency and trading
post, Huber married Two Kids.

Hawk, head soldier of the Gros
Ventres. He was appointed Elbo-
woods postmaster in 1914. and in
addition to his clerical duties, he con-

GOOD NEWS FROM ARMENIA.

Most heartening is the news Of the
recapture Of Erzerum by the
Armenians.
When a Russian army under Grand
Duke Nicholas was sweeping west
ward along the southern shore OF the
Black Sea, two years ago. taking one
Turkish city after another, the Allies
had visions Of knocking at the back
door Of Constantinople.
Then came the DISCRIMINATION OF
the Russian armies. and for months
nothing was heard Of the force OF
Grand Duke Nicholas. 1t dropped
from sight completely. Later came
the news Of the recapture of Erzerum
and Trebizond by the Turks, and the
renewal Of Armenian massacres.
with the advance northward Of the
British forces in Mesopotamia and
Palestine. the detection of the Rus
sian forces was most keenly felt, Had
the army OF Grand Duke Nicholas re-
NAMED intact. junction might have
been effected bv the British and Rus
sian armies and the sweep across
Asia Minor begun.
Therefore the news Of the rise OF
the Armenians is doubly welcome.
The British in Mesopotamia are from
500 to 400 miles from Erzerum. Two
hundred miles away on their left is
the British army in Palestine, and be-
tween the two British armies the
friendly Arab forces. With the dis
organization of the Turkish armies
facing the British, there is nothing to
prevent A rapid advance. Provided
the uprising OF Armenians holds out
real promise and provided it extends
south Of Erzerum toward the British
forces. it is not inconceivable that
substantial aid could be given the
Armenians by the Mesopotamian
army. The Armenians doubtless
figure they are. going to be murdered
anyway. SO they might as we'll kill
few Turks first.

DISASTROUS FIRE
SWEEPS KANSAS CITY
tBy Associated Press.D

Kansas City. April 5,--Fire last
night destroyed three city blocks of
buildings i'm the wholesale district
known as the West Bottoms" before
firemen gained control. The loss
was not known and fire and police
officials and owners OF buildings i'm
the district were unable to make
even rough estimates. Twenty-siN
buildings were either destroyed or
badly damaged and many others suf-
fered smaller losses. Five firemen
were injured when a wah fell, but
no deaths have been reported.
The origin OF the fire and the
place IL started are not known
definitely, but il Is believed to have
originated in a warehouse leased by
the Abernathy Furniture company
at Santa Fe ana st. Louis avenue.
There were reports that the origin
was incendiary and that the fire
started in four different places
within the burned area, but neither
police nor fire department officials
would verify these rumors.

ILLINOIS MOB
HANGED ALLEGED
KAISER LOVER
fBy Associated Press. }

CollinsviIle, III, April 5.-Robert p
! Prayer, IS years old and German
born, after twice escaping mob vio-
lence was hanged 20 q tree shortly
after midnight by mob OF $50 per-
sons who declared he had made dis
loyal utterances. He was dragged
from the basement OF the city hall
here whsre he had been In hiding
through the main street OF the city
TO a point one mile west. and there
his body was found this morning
dangling TO the limb Of a tree.
Prayer was a local miner and yes
terday was in Maryville, III, where
he addressed miners on Socialism.
During his talk he is said to have
made remarks derogatory to Presi-
dent Wilson. The angered miners
threatened to do him bodily harm but
he escaped TO CoIlinsville, his home.
Some Of the miners. however. follow
cd him and a crowd soon gathered.
Prayer was taken from his home and
led barefooted through the streets
waving an American flag.
The police, fearing violence, took
him from the crowd and placed him
in the city hall. Later the mob
gathered in front Of the hasl and
demanded the MAJ. The small force
of police and deputies was overpow-
cred and Prayer was found hiding in
the basement of the hall. The crowd
threatened to shoot il the officers ap-
preached.
One mile west of the city the rope
by which Prayer had been led was
thrown over the limb Of tree. The
man was asked IL he had anything
10 say. His answer was TO drop to
his knees and with arms crossed to
pray in German. He then was pulled
into the air and allowed to hang.
The police in statement issued
early today declared they, being only
four in number. were unable to cope
with the mob. They also said that
Prayer while in their custody had
stated he was a registered enemy
alien, that he was born in Germany
but that he had taken out his first
naturalization papers and had hoped
to become an American citizen.
Collinsville is twelve miles east OF
st. Louis and is in that section Of
Illinois that OF late has
been active against alleged disloyaI-
lists.

To The Editor Of The Forum:

To The Editor OF The Forum:
/ am greatly interested in the
heroic defence of North Dakota
against the power intoxicated heroics
of a small group of egotistical So
cialists who have been and are fat
tening their purses, and incidental
~ their records as Socialist propa-
gandists. These men are flying
from covert to ditch in a frenzy to
hide their hideous schemes and their
sedition in the democratic COM
raderie Of the farmers of our state.
Never fear the time is not far dis
tant when some fearless farmer
champion will lay the club upon this
new Ananias, this shifting autocrat,
these modern Benedict Arnolds.
The confidence OF the farmers Of
North Dakota has honored one man
with a higher gift than that of the
governor Of the state. They have
stood by him. They have stuck.
Through sunshine and darkness.
through peaceful days and through
months of turbulence and criticism,
they have played fair and trusted
him.
Charges of disloyalty and sedition
were directed at this band of money
grabbing agitatoTs whose only home
is a hat The result: they have
scurried to the cover Of our loyal
farmers and told the whole nation
that our farmers are charged with
disloyalty and sedition.
Some day and that not far dis
tant these skulking towards will be
driven into the open. A leader OF
this host will arise, and the heads
of these deceitful agitators will be
gibbeted on the block Of their own
perfidy.
When faith is violated, hate is
born.
