The Fargo Courier News is putting
up howl and claiming that the bus
mess men of Fargo are boycotting
that paper for political reasons, the
Courier-News claiming that it is an
attack on reform and the present state
administration. The c.. N. should
buck up and take it's medicine. We
remember very distinctively that two
years ago, when we owned and edited
the Valley City Courier, the league
leaders tried to do the same thing to
US. Some of the leaders even came
down into the Office and told US that
if we did not stop criticising the
league they would put skids under us
and put US out of business. We re-
fused to allow ourselves to be muzzled
and went on our way and never a
howl did we make. If the Courier
News is right in the premises it will
not be necessary for it to play the
body act. The people will soon Judge
which side is right. The truth is
slowly but surely coming to the sur
face an das we just remarked the peo-
pie are coming to their senses. Garry
the truth to the people. The Courier
News will come through it all right
if they are correct in their premises
but no paper can survive very long
that does nothing but SOW deeds Of
dissention and class hatred. Politics
are not the best thing in the world we
will admit, but the lining up of one
class against the other is much worse.

President Wilson appeared before
joint session of congress Monday
and talked to the legislators by hand,
as it were, in the old fashioned Wood
row Wilson way. There was no mine
ing of words by the nations chief. He
told congress very plainly that poll
tics would have to be cut out and that
the members better turn their atten-
ton and energy towards passing those
measures that would tend to push this
war to successful conclusion. Mr..
Wilson was deeply stirred at the re-
port of the resumption of the offensive
by the Germans and knew that it
meant hard fight with the loss of
many American lives. He wants con-
gress to put every ounce of muscle
and every thought of big minds to-
wards furnishing the sinews of war
and to throw policies out of the win
dow. Mr.. Wilson is big man, is
taking hold of this great war in good
shape, and is evincing a desire to
show up graft and corruption in the
manufacture of. air craft and NUM-
tons for the government and all he
wants is congress to get busy and
back him up. There has been too
much dillydallying and it must be
stopped. If it is necessary to pass a
new revenue bill let congress put ev-
cry energy at it's command to pass it.
This country needs the money, it has
the money and all it needs is the act
of congress to get it.

As the time for the primaries rolls
around, only three weeks left, it be-
comes more and more apparent that a
great change is coming over the vot-
ers Of the state who believe that moth.
ing but loyal men should serve in an
official capacity. We do not mean to
say that any Of our state officials are
disloyal, we do not believe they are,
but they are under the domination of
leaders of disloyal tendencies, and for
that reason we want to see men elect
ed who have not the slightest suspic-
ion attached to them. John Steen, the
independent candidate for governor is
such man, and next to him comes
that old pioneer citizen Lieut.. Gov.
Kraabel, both fine men, loyal to the
core. Mr.. Kraabel has, two sons in
the service and you can rest assured
that no disloyal sentiment turks under
camoufage in his family. The same
is true Of John Steen who is one of
the most loyal men in the state. They
are good men to elect to Office.

10 per cent margin of profit, without
freight. The town people will pay
$40 year for the privilege of pur-
chasing produce at this farm. Mr..
Cady promised to invest $4,000 Of the
$4,000 in the farm and equipment.
In this manner townspeople will be as
sured of getting their produce at a
reasonable profit. With regard to the
surplus of $4,000, he says, what he
does with that is none Of the towns
peoples D. business" He will
spend it for educational, political pur-
poses or anything he thinks will ben
eft the townspeople.
Mr.. Cady claims that the reason
people in town are growing poorer
and poorer and the farmers are grow
ing weather. is because the farmers
are robbing the townspeople; they
have been buying too much hay at $50
a ton and too much wheat at 81 a
bushel, too much oats at 81 bushel,
too many eggs at 40 cents and too
much butter at so cents. He believes
in cutting out the middlemen and
have the consumer get his produce d.
rectly from his own farm, at least one
he thinks he owns. For a small ad-
ditional fee of SIG he will also fur
nish all"townspeople with information
how to vote. He claims that business
will never be good, no matter how
good crops we have, until the towns
people know how to vote right. This
department can easily be cared for
by the hired men during the long win
ter evening and will incur no addi-
tional expense to the Consumers
Farm company. The Pioneer wants
it understood that we are opposed to
Mr.. Cady's plan for the same reason
that we are against Townleys plan.

Food Commissioner E. F. Ladd re-
Gently sent out letters to all the min
listers asking them to read the letter
from the various pulpits of the city.
It is a special appeal on food conser-
walton to be read in all churches and
contains a request to limit the use of
meat to two pounds per person per
week, also an appeal to all those
whose circumstances will permit to
abstain from wheat and wheat pro-
ducts until next harvest. This ap-
peal has also been made to all fra
ternal and women's organizations.
The action of the food commissioner
is one that will no doubt be met by
hearty response from the people Of
the state. Every bushel of grain and
every pound of meat is needed for the
millions Of soldiers in France and it
is up to us to gracefully fall in line
and do our bit to help win this war.
So far as we are concerned we can get
along with less than two pounds of
meat and less bread. We are fond of
potatoes and stuff like that and for
the next three months can manage to
get along all right. -"
