Digs Is
Cars OfLignite
In Working Day

Coal Harbor, NJ. D.. Jan. fl. w.
Keith, an employe OF the Bitumina
mine, sets himself up as North Da-
kota's prize Ignite miner, and he
points to 25 cars Of coal as one days
work. netting him $1325 for ten hours
work, in support Of his contention.
The previous week Mr.. Keith's net
earnings, after paying for board and
mining material, S10.44, were $46.28.
Other miners, jealous of Keith's
prowess, declared he couldn't keep up
the pace, so Keith started out the next
week by sending up 25 cars the first
day.
Half this number is considered a
good average days work. Ignite
miners are earning all the way from
$500 to $1,000 the day, and at this
rate there is is a shortage of help.

IMMIGRATION AFTER THE WAR.

Which direction viii the tide Of
immigration take after the war?
Some business prophets see a great
hegira from the war-ridden countries
Of Europe after the war. They claim
that the people of Europe will flee
from the terrible tax burdens Of the
European nations, and seek freedom
in America, Canada, Australia and
South Africa.
Others predict that there will be a
tremendous exodus from the United
States. and that men viii be so scarce

A Column Devoted to the Task of
Keeping Up With North Da-

The Jud Leader has the following
comment on those who are merely
unloyal, and not disloyal:
Many a chap who would re-
sent the charge of disloyalty
is perfectly contented with be-
ing wholly unloyal, He sees
no need for an army behind the
army. He is a staller. A past
master at the art of passing the
buck" when asked for contribu-
tions for and of the activities to
aid the nation in the great strug-
gle we are in. He. is sometimes
a destructive critic-whining and
complaining at the men who are
doing things and of the way they
do it. He hasn't a single first
move" to his credit. He forms
an inertia that must be over
come before any results are
obtained. If anything is gotten
from him ii is at so tremendous
a cost of time and energy as to
be scarcely worth the effort.
The Page Record sees st. Paul as
the new political headquarters Of
North Dakota. IL says:
The printing plant of The Nom
partisan Leader is being moved
from Fargo to st. Paul. The
stalwarts used to be accused Of
taking their political orders
from the sanity city, and il
seems the same tactics are to be
continued by the new machine.
The Record also has this comment
on the choice Of candidates for the
coming election:
There are indications that
many Of the Nonpartisans are
inclined to act independently Of
their former bosses and that they
may select their own candidates
in the coming campaign without
the dictation of TOwnley and his
ilk. Should they do So we will
get officials who are not elected
because they can be controlled
and a better condition of affairs
will be the result.
The Kenmare News pays It's part

Leader as follows:
Well, the expected is happening

MORE "DIsLoYAL ATTACKS"

The New York World is running a
series Of articles by a staff cor
respondent, on the history and pur-
poses of the Nonpartisan league. The
articles are far from complimentary,
as was evidenced by an editorial
from The World commenting on the
articles and reprinted in The Forum
the other evening.
1t is not out of fear of what the
state Council for the Defense of Mr..
Townley might say that The Forum
does not reprint these articles. They
would take up too much space and
tell something that is already
known to most North Dakotans. AL
So The World correspondent makes
the mistake Of confusing the little
Socialist ring that controls the
league, with a rank and file OF the
members. Were it otherwise, The
Forum would reproduce them despite
