KEEP TRAPS SET

farmer was bothered with rats in his corn
crib He set out traps and sprinkled poisoned food
in and about the crib Next morning scores of
rats were dead. For several nights he pursued his
antirat campaign and then, thinking all were
gone took in the traps and turned his attention
elsewhere.
But in short while rats again were stealing
his corn.
"Guess~I'll have to keep the traps out every
night" he said.
And so it is with these food profteers, the
rats that take advantage of the war to steal a
miserable profit.
The other day one New York sugar concern
was fined $4,000 for sugar pro6teering last win
ter. Hundreds Of other firms and individuals have
been fined and have lost their licenses for profit

ton, federal trade commission and department of
Justice are eternaly on the watch for these human
rats The government never takes in it's traps"
and never neglects to put out the "poison," but
it cannot catch all of the rats the same night.
Probably no human agency could catch all of
them They are cunning and they multiply rap
idly. -.
So do not become discouraged when you meet
with these food profteers. Help the government

A BIG MISTAKE

Charles Lindbergh, republican candidate Tor
governor of Minnesota, is billed to speak in North
Dakota Whether his defeat will change the
schedule does not appear, but it is monumental
political blunder to allow him forum in this state
His written opinions of the war might have
been penned in Potsdam and he belongs to the
yellow coterie of campaigners whose actions ana
utterances are an insult to loyal Americans.
The St. Paul Daily News which has always
been an ardent supporter Of Townley and the
league, has openly repudated Mr.. Lindbergh and
suggests also that the league for the period OF the
war should cease arraigning class against class
It has this reference to Mr.. Lindbergh:
I'm the past, Mr.. Lindbergh has appeared to
be sincere, but somewhat visionary champion OF
popular rights. For some years, however, ne
seems to have become more and more obsessed

kind, which he calls the money trust His chief
support is derived from the Nonpartisan league,
which presents an economic program covering
problems which must be faced, and rightly solved,
by sane discussion, not by rabid cries against
big biz nor by arbitrary unlawful, undemocratic
suppression of meetings. The latter tactics have
simply martyrized the leagues leaders.
"Mr. Lindbergh's candidacy, however, must
be considered upon another basis-the record OF
the man himself, and particularly as regards his
loyalty. The book which he wrote and published
last summer supplies ample reason why Mr..
Lindbergh must not be governor. His attacks on
the management of the Red Cross, the Liberty
loans and other steps in the war program have
convinced thousands that he is, or was, actually
disloyal With all due allowance for Mr.. Lind
bergh's erratic mentality, the kindest thing that
can be said of his book is that it is sad mess
of involved language, incoherent and frequently
contradictory 1t processes loyalty in spots and is
badly tainted in other spots. 1t reveals its author
as more fit for St. Peter than for Capitol Hill To
cap the climax Mr. Lindbergh has accepted the
support of the anti-war Van Lear socialists of
Minneapolis. He is unthinkable as governor Of
this state.' ,.p.si

Governor Lynn j. Frazier, endorsed
by the Nonpartisan league for renom-

sticking to the policy he adopted when

AMERICAS FAITH

A year ago. when America had not fully
buckled down to the job Of defeating Germany,
there was in this country certain impersonal
attitude toward the Hun, the attitude men take to-
ward a burglar whom conviction has brought
face to face with punishment. It was not so
much the Hun himself that aroused US, but rather
his kultur's breaking in, like a thief of the night,
upon the peace of a world.
And now, as Americas part in the great
Struggle grows, our attitude shifts. 1t turns less
impersonal; the Hun ceases to be a symbol of
evil, becoming instead evil itself.
Yet America must not wholly forget that, af
ter all, it was an idea, view, or Interpretation,
of the worthwhiles of life that plunged the world
into the present vortex. But for the nineteenth
century's development of material energies and
the material substance Of raw resources, this war
never would have occurred. A war might have
occurred, but it would have been on the small
scale of previous national conflicts. It was be-
cause of century's worldwide creation of wealth,
wealth claiming mems very souls, that the super
struggle came.
Germany in the development, Of material
wealth and the desire for an increased develop
ment thereof failed to preserve that spirituality

which alone can interpret wealth. set it in bounds,
must remember, was and is the offender But we
must not forget that the same sore of material
wealth had been eating an nsidious way into all
the nations, America included.
We of America seemingly had deifed wealth,
had made its creation and progress synonymous
Seemingly we had deserted the old standard of
the perfect soul for the new standard of the full
pocketbook. Yet through it all somehow we had
preserved the faith that quantity was of import

Chicago, June. 15.-Corn assembled
rapidly in value today owing to re,

age resulting from excessive heat was
evident. Government advices said the
temperature was considerably above

additional upturn.
Oats displayed Independent strength.
Complaints ofdryness in Montana and

scored material further gains. Pro-

We over here are prone to look upon war
and see the fighter going over the top, or the
soldier repeling attacks Of the Huns. We keep
our eyes upon the battle and our ears hear only
the bursting Of shell and the thunder of the
cannon roar. That is war, we think. But no,
that is not all of war. For here and there in this
inferno of death and destruction are the angels Of
