Why The Farmers Organization.
(John II. Bloom. in Devils Lake Journal,

A few days ago a farmer drove UP to an
elevator with a load of barley. He was offer
ed 60 cents a bushel for it. He took it back
home. A few days later he loaded it. on a car
with some other grain and shipped it to Min
neapolis where he was paid $1.1O per bushel for
it.
This same farmer who was offered 60 cents
per bushel for his barley, would have paid the
man who made the offer $3.50 for a hundred
pounds of barley flour.
Now ladies and gentleman, those of YOU, who
are capable of thinking, can you understand
why the organization of farmers in this state.
improbable story, you say? No, child. it's
TOO true. 1t happened right here in Devils Lake.
And it is happening in every town in North Da-
kota-in varying degree.
Get it again: Six dollars and fifty cents a
hundred pounds for barley flour, made from bar
icy TOR which so cents a bushel was bid. And
the 6O cents a bushel offered was only so cents
q Dushel Less than it sold for in MINNEAPOLIS.
You would wonder how it was possible for a
puyer TO DO business and keep out of the poor
mouse on such a small margin of profit. wouldn't
you! Well, we do not know how he does Il. but
ne does-keep out of the poor house.
Now, continuing a little longer the laborinp
t1lnking process, you will be able to understand
why II IS that that the man who offered the GO
cents q bushel for the barley, the miller who
ground it into barley flour, the wholesaler who
sold II TO the retailer, and the retailer who sold

Straight From the Shoulder.
(Carl Nelson, in Cando Record)

The editor of this newspaper democrat
who is engaged in publishing a farmers news
paper favorable to the Nonpartlsan League,
was recently elected chairman OF the democrat
ic committee of Towner county, and the ques-
ton has been asked by some of the stalwart
democrats who still persist in wershiping at a
ruined and deserted party shrine from which
the spirit of democracy has departed, Will he
support Joe Doyle for governor We suppose
they look upon that as the supreme test Of our
democracy, according to the hight thai mas been
vouchsafed them by a none too prodlgal ma
ture. Our answer to that question is a most
emphatic no. We never had any "time" for
the MISUNDERSTANDING, public-be-damned sort
of political heelers, of which type Doyle is an
eloquent example. If you doubt that assertion,
just look at his picture, printed regularly in that
political misnomer, the Fargo Democrat, which
and also late postmaster of Fargo, who likewise
hasn't any political reputation to lose. We
have been trying for 10, these many years, to
follow the spirit of democracy, and there has
always been a pitiable poverty of this spirit in
the democratic camp in this state, and the
has grown so thin that even the casual passer-
by can see thru it. The party machinery has
gradually drifted into the hands of a bipartisan
ring of stalwarts, who had absolute control long
before Mr.. Townley started out on foot, lonely
and leg-weary, to plant the seeds of nonpar-
t~isanship among the farmers around Deering,
over in Ward county. Since the adherents of
democracy are no longer following the discred-
tied leaders where have they gone? They have
gone by the thousands to march under the ban
ners of the hated Mr.. T~ownley-they have be-
come sixteen dollar suckers,"-and all pro-
claim that it is the first taste of real democracy
that they have had for years. The Nonparti-
san league is the only political organization in
this state that represents democracy in spirit
and in truth. It is the only political group in
this state that has been giving President Wilson
and the national administration whole-hearted
and unqualified support. It has given us the
only state administration that has tried to car
ry out its promises to the people-and that is
the essence of democracy, which republicans
and democrats have been striving for unsuc-
c%essfully, because they were divided by the
damnable and empty orthodoxy of a party name.
Will the editor of this .unorthodox' paper, who
is also chairman Of the democratic county
committee, support Frazier for governor? Yes,
most emphatically yes-with every ounce of
democracy that he has in him.
