Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not Square
With The Views Of The Forum
The Chicago Tribune:

The Chicago Tribune:
On the occasion OF the awarding OF the Distin-
gushed Service Cross to twelve members OF our
expeditionary forces it is proper that some en-
phasis should be placed on the distinctions that
characterize the three American honors
The cable dispatches with regard to these honors
create certain degree OF confusion which ought
not to obtain If they are to have the value that
such decorations merit.
The highest award in the gift OF the nation is
the Medal of Honor, which can only be bestowed
by an act of congress. 1t is given in recognition
of great heroism exhibited occasions when the
act for which the Medal Of Honor is voted is not
Honor, which should be distinguished from the
Distinguished Service Medal, Is said to be the
most difficult military distinction in the world
Next in Importance is the Distinguished Ser
vice Cross. which is awarded for extraordinary
heroism and is bestowed only upon members Of
the active military forces The third honor is
the Distinguished Service Medal given as a rec
ognition of unusual service on the part Of either
soldiers civilians.
The citations for the twelve men recently
honored are an earnest that the Distinguished
Service Cross will always stand high in public
esteem the symbol of valorous conduct. These
have set a standard that will be difficult to en-
ulate and therefore destined to establish tradi-
ton Of bravery which cannot but be a matter Of
profound pride to every recipient Of the honor
It is interesting to note the variety of service
and rank of the twelve men now honored Those
special qualities that make men heroes, we felt
sure, were not confined to any grade branch
Of military forces, but Gen. Pershing's award
is a welcome confirmation of that belief.

FOOD STOCKS TN
U. 5. INCREASED
fRy Associated Press. )

Dubuque, Iowa, June 20 American
food stocks. Increasing because OF the
efforts Of farmers. were classed as an
additional guaranty of success OF the
outcome of the war; by Secretary OF
Agriculture Houston in an address to-
day before the Iowa Bankers assoc
citation. Along with his presentation
of figures summarizing agricultural
accomplishment, he called upon the
residents Of cities and towns to see
that bountifll harvests promised do
not waste because of labor shortage
OF the war itself he said: There is
no way out Of this grim business ex-
cept through it."
Secretary Houston said the Ameri-
can farmers had responded heartily
to the call of the allied populations
for food.
Farmers planted $4,000. 100000
acres more in leading food crops in
1917 than in 1916" he said. They
greatly increased the numbers of live
stock in spite of expectations. They
increased the number of milk COWS
by 100000, of other cattle by nearly
two million, the number OF sheep for
the, first time in a generation and a
half by 100000 and OF swine by
nearly four million. In spite of ex-
portations Of horses and mules, they
increased the number by Asa 900. The
indications are that they will do bet
ter even this year. We shall not fall
to win the war because of food short

sMTxING POLITICS AND PATRIOT
ISM"

How can we putter with tissues at
such timer
How can we concern ourselves about
the "rights of free speech" of every jail
bird, every pale-faced disloyalist, every
weasel who adheres to the Infamous St
Louis anti-war platform of the Socialist
party and comes to North Dakota to drain
it of its red-blooded patriotism, If it can
be done2
What about the ''rights" Of the SOL
diers2 What about the "rights'' Of good
:Amerfcans9 Governor Frazier doesn It
seem half as much concerned about them
as he does about the "rights" Of the
L w. W. the, Peoples Peace Council, the
Kate OHares, and the indicted and con-
viCted organizers Of the Nonpartisan
league
""Mlx politics and patriotism" in this
Blection9 You can't get away from it.
Some Of us have seen the motion pic
ture, %fMy -Four Years In Germany" at
one Of the Local theaters this week. It is
Ambassador Gerards story in film. There
IL something wrong with the man who can
sit through that without becoming fight
ing mad. Come out from seeing it and
ask yourselfs ''What can dot"
You can answer your own question,
cred Cross to the limit. Liberty bonds
to the last dollar War Savings stamps
for all I dare pledge. Y. M. @. A.
Knights of Columbus and all the other &C
tivities. Food conservation. Yes, and
take my coat off and work my hardest for
John Steen and the whole Minot ticket. "
Is that linking politics and patriot
ism?" Read Townley's speeches Of
year ago, remember La Follette's St. Paul
meeting with Frazier on the platform ap-
plauding, read Lindberghs atrocious war
book, recall the Russian breakdown and
its causes, and ask yourself if you can
separate politics and patriotism in this
s election.
~ We don't want to follow Minnesotas
example and give just majority vote for
the United States We want to snow
Townleyism and the Socialist party-that
doesn't mean democracy and those who
say it does, he-under in such blizzard of
votes next Wednesday they won't be able
to dig themselves out until the boys are
home.
If that's linking politics and patriot
ISM make the most of it. If The Forum
felt they couldn't be separated this year,
it wouldn't be wasting good white paper
on politics, We want to be able to for
get all about politics after next Wednes-
. day.

Mr.. TOWNUEY OR
IIANE2
SECRETARY

If you were an American soldier in
France, would you prefer the promise Of a
farm after the war, or active support
during the war2
Two weeks before Mr. Townley thought
of his newest plan to ingratiate himself
with the parents and relatives of the men
who have gone into the service, Secretary
Lane had presented a carefully thought
out plan to make available all idle govern
ment land and cut over land, for returned
soldiers. This plan was presented in the
Official Bulletin Of June II, and had been
published in the newspapers previous to
that date. It provides for proper irriga-
ton and drainage, railroad facilities, long
term payments and federal aid in making
improvements. Mr. Townley offered a
Bolshevized version Of it this week.
Meanwhile Mr.. Townley is under indict-
ment and is registered as a member of the
Socialist party, which still stands on the
Infamous St. Louis anti-war platform.
Do you prefer to have Mr. Townley
govern North Dakota in war time and
have charge of his land-seizure schemes
after the WARP Or do you prefer to have
the Socialist party rebuked by the election
Of John Steen, and permit Secretary Lane
and the federal government to take charge
Of the allotment Of lands of returned sol
diers? That is what you must answer
next Wednesday.

Of difference between the two, namely SIS. A
N. P Lacquer pays SIG for the privilege Of voting
ticket which the Socialist puts up and votes
for nothing. No true Socialist was ever ac-

receptive character. There is a tact working
political agreement between the two organiza-
candidates and the Nonpartisan league the

To the Editor Of The Forum:
am having many Nonpartisan papers sent
to me that are filled with advertisements for
N. G. Macdonald and I fail to find very much
said in your paper for Miss Nelson for state
superintendent. trust you will give some time
and space to recommending that the school Of
ficers should be elected on the nonpartisan
school ballot and on personal merit rather than
on party lines Politics should be kept out of
the schools much as UNCONVENTIONAL religion.
Emphasis should be brought to bear upon the
fact that educational people OF the state have
asked Miss Nelson to come out for state super
intendent and peoples attention should be called
to the fact that experienced teachers and county
superintendent are leaving the state because
they cannot work with Mr. Macdonald. l per
sonally know several county superintendent
who are refusing to come out on this account. ,
Kindly make thorough investigation Of the
facts and make a plea. for a state superintendent
in whom the teachers of the state can have con-
fdence. You may probably be aware Of the
fact that Mr.. Macdonald was elected once as
county superintendent and could not get re-
elected Miss Nelson, the other hand has
served twelve years in Barnes county and did
not come out for reelection.
Thanking you for your efforts in behalf of
good schools, am,
