THE LOGICAL SEQUEL.

"Stabirzing' the price OF binder
Irvine is but one Of the logical steps
to follow the fixing of the price OF
wheat.
Binder Irvine is one of the import
ant items in the cost Of producing
wheat. II the price Of wheat is
stabilized" at 1920, it is only fair
that the farmer should be protected
against abnormal increases in the
costs OF various factors in wheat
production. The failure to follow this
course with the railroads was what
caused the breakdown Of the coun-
trys transportation system. The
earnings OF the railroads were fixed,
but their expenses were not. The
result was an enforced government
control.
To fix the price of wheat and let
the costs Of production soar, would
be an excellent way to choke Off pro-
duction at a time when the country
and the world are calling for every
possible bushel of wheat that can be
raised. Last year the farmers Of
North Dakota paid II to is and later
as high as 20 cents for their Irvine,
compared with a normal price of
about 8 cents. 1t is estimated they
use about 100000 pounds. If the
government can save them but 3
cents a pound, it will mean an an
nuaI saving Of nearly $1,OO0,000 to
the farmers of the state.
1t is not fair to expect the old
price of cents, but some place be-
tween . cents and II is the minimum
hgure at which the manufacturers
can make fair profit, and it is the
business Of the food administration
to ind that figure.

WISCONSIN SETS EXAMPLE.

Il have repudiated you and con-

and the people of the Eighth district

That was the message telegraphed
to Senator La Toilette by Louis A.
Fons. when he was assured Of his
election to the Wisconsin state sem
ate.
The United States senate could
ask for no better indication Of what
the country expects Of it in the La
Toilette case than the action Of the
voters OF the Eighth Wisconsin dis
trict. This is Socialist stronghold.
The former senator from the district
was expelled from the state senate
for disloyal utterances. He was a
socialist, and his successor was
elected on the straight issue Of 10y
atty. Had the Socialists picked their
battle-ground they could not have
chosen a more favorable field The

it was ample under the circum-

A few drops applied directly upon a

corn, root and all, lifts right out with
the fingers.
This new drug is being dispensed at
small cost in quarter ounce bottles,
which is sufficient to take off every

Immediate Action

Hettinger N. D., Jan. S.-Sixteen
representative business men and
farmers attending a luncheon here
for the purpose OF discussing the

the proper way Of financing the
proposition of getting seed grain for
next spring. Hettinger county can
bond for 100000. Those who have
studied the situation are in favor of
bonding for 100000.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that no small amount of oats, barley
and corn must be shipped in from
Minnesota and South Dakota. There
seems to be plenty of wheat and fax
in the county.
Delegates will attend a meeting to
be held at Mott today to put the
matter of bonding the county up to
the county commissioners and urge
that immediate action be taken.

USE ALL THE WEAPONS AVAIL.
ABLE.

Doubtless an American peace can
be won in but one way-that way
being by whipping Germany.
But there may be more than one
weapon to be used in whipping Ger
many. Germany has found many
weapons to use in waging her 100
per cent war. Some of these weapons
America could not stoop to use, but
there are others that might be adopt
ed.
Seeing it through" to a peace on
American terms is not inconsistent
with a determined effort to make the
best, automatically. Of the present
situation in Russia.
President Wilson inserted the thin
edge OF a wedge between the German
people and their emperor, when he
held out the promise of peace with a
reconstructed Germany. Lloyd
George, in his speech Saturday, help
ed to drive that wedge home by elab-
Grating on President Wilson's
views, and making some Of the peace
terms more concrete. He showed
again that the Allies were not fight
ing for territory, or to disrupt the
Central Empires, but for the right Of
peoples to govern themselves, the
world over.
But over on the other side Of Ger
many, the Bolshevik government has
inserted a wedge of its own, designed
to effect the same purpose. Most of
the hard things said about the Boil
shevid probably have been deserved.
Fanatics they doubtless are, and
their action probably prevented the
Allies winning a victory during 1917,
but that is all past now and can't
be remedied. Mere selfish interest,
if nothing else. should prompt the
Allies to make all possible use Of the
Bolshevik negotiations. Ignoring
Russia now simply forces her into
the arms Of Germany. and permits
the Bolshevik government to blame
the failure to make peace on the
Allies. embittering the Russian peo-
pie against them.
If the Allied diplomats could strike
a timely blow on the Bolshevik
wedge, as well as President Wilson's,
it would be beating Germany at her
own game. Read the statement Of
NJ. Radek one of the Bolshevik lead
ers: I'VE stand for a democratic
peace. So do the German working
classes. If the German government
attacks us it will display itself to it's
own people in its true light"
So does America stand for
democratic peace. True, American
ideas of a democratic peace may
differ from Bolshevik ideas, but the
two are nearer to each other than
either is to Germany's idea of peace.
The Bolsheviki are reported to be
sending home all soldiers who will
not fight to the death for the ideal
held before them. Even America
could not go farther than that in
seeing 1t through"
AS long as their paths lie parallel,
Russia and the western allies should
be fighting together. Surely it
might be possible to make the Rus
slams see that the only reason why
Germany even considers any peace
terms but those OF an absolute
conqueror, is that the Allies are still
lighting In the west. 1t may be no
time to supply Russia with more
munitions which will be permitted to
fall into German hands as the last
supplies did, but neither is it any
time for the diplomats to throw up
their hands and leave Russia to her
fate and to be the prey Of Germany.
Surely Germany has no monopoly on
propaganda and diplomacy.
