There are not many things that the
farmers and their organization have
not been accused of being, or doing
or intending to do.
Most of the charges are too absurd
to be considered but one, which is.
very important il true, is the charge,
that we are pro-German, and there
fore not entitled to ordinary legal
protection.
Let us see what people we are who
country. Collectively we own q large
share of the state of Minnesota.
Together, with industrial labor we
produce all the wealth OF the state.
Without us there would be no So
no chamber Of commerce, no packing
backbone of the whole social strucs
ture-some are beginning to believe
that we also have share In the
brains.
We work from twelve to sixteen
hours day to. produce enough food
for the allies, our soldiers and our
| selves. We have submitted In the
past to political dictation, and provid-
ed better paying job for our present
critics. And what have these, our
critics, done in the past to show their
patriotism?
Some of them have expatriated
themselves, because their manners
were too refined to be appreciated by
a Democratic herd. Others patriotic
ally married their daughters to titled
| foreigners, while the wherewithal
! is drawn from the labor of this coun.
| try.
| Many of them, to enlarge their social
connection and improve their grace OF
manners spend part of their time in
Europe, while loyalty drawing divi
dends from the United States.
On the whole they considered pat
riotism to be necessary virtue fol
the common people, while they prided
| themselves on their broad "kultur'
and cosmopolitan sympathies.
The sum total of their patriotic en-
deavors is, that they have grabbed 8
large share of our natural and socia
wealth, in defense of which they seen
to be willing to prostitute Government
and overthrow law and order.
Virtues cannot be proved by pro
clamation. No hero advertises his
bravery, no honest man parades his
integrity. :
Loyalty means devotion to countr,
and law, and by their acts the farmers
of the North West have shown theil
disinterested devotion to both.
The reforms asked for by the farm
ers would insure stability in indus
try and trade; while it's operation
would increase Governmental func
ton, instead Of decreasing it. B!
asking this they show both devotion
to their country and confidence in thu
Government.
When on the other hand one hears
or reads the mouthings of politicians
half crazed by their ambition, he II
tempted to believe that wellknowl
quotation could fittingly be ~paraphras
ed: 20 Loyalty! Loyalty! how man!
crooked politicians are campaigning
in thy name!"
What is the farmers answer tt
being abused and slandered, to thu
denial of the constitutional right o
free speech and assemblage, to ta
and feathers?
Their answer is: We-Will-Stick

Document. Proving How Old Line
Politician, Camouaage their
Political Rallies.

On October 8 the St. Paul Daily
News made public the two documents
which prove oonclusively that Roose-
welt is using the Liberty loan cam
paign and the loyalty issue as means
of rallying support for the special in
terest politicians and for his own can
didacy in 1920. A. A. D. Rain, who
signs the documents, is highly paid
political agent of the Carpenter-Shev-
lin lumber interests. F. H. Carpenter,
to whom they were sent, has figured
prominently In conspiracies against
the Nonpartisan league. He is mil
lionairer lumber dealer and has long
been a leader Of reactionary politi-
clans in Minnesota. The fact that his
brother is managing the Liberty loan
campaign in Minneapolis made his
task of staging the Roosevelt per-
Torrance easier.
RAINS letter to Carpenter shows
that Roosevelt is not attacking the
League because of his own investiga-
ton, but that he is taking the canned
goods put in his hands by the local
anti-farmer interests. The St. Paul
News prints the document as follows:
TELEGRAM
Washington, September %, 1918.

Der Company, Minneapolis, MINI.

He would like to meet boys from all

especially those boys from Duluth. Can
YOU get Wilcutts to get delegation to-
gether? See Lindquist to get the boys
| from other parts of the state.
Roosevelt will leave Billings 1922 p
| m. Saturday night; arrive Minneapolis

If all drafteess can not be in the
parade. This Is a good basis for 10y
atty.
The Baltimore gathering was un-
der the auspices of the Liberty loan.
At p. m. the streets were lined with
people and the park was damned.
This whole demonstration was engi-
neered by the Republicans of Balti-
more, and it is a great opportunity for
us to have him in Minneapolis. All
the congressman will try and be home
at that time.
Advise me fully by wire how ar
arrangements are progressing. lmpera-
tive that we give him the, biggest re-
ception he ever had in Minneapolis.
Very truly yours.

MESSAGE TO PETERSON

Mr.. RAIN also sent a telegram and
a letter, similar in purport to the Car
penter messages, to c. F. E. Peter
son, a Republican politician of local
Minneapolis celebrity. In them he
reiterated that Roosevelt must be
given a big military demonstration;
that he would talk on the loan, or on
loyalty; that Lindquist the governors
secretary, should call out the national
guard; that plenty of publicity must
be secured; that I'VE" must pay the
car fare of Roosevelt and his "serv-
ant" to New York, and that the Roose-
welt demonstration in Baltimore, al
though ostensibly under Liberty loan
auspices, twas engineered by the Re-
publicans of Baltimore"

Tn the late spring of 1917, the American Y. M. C. A. in France consisted of diminutive tent on a dock in a certain French base port and a handful of secretaries. In this tent the secretaries were waiting for the first American troops when they landed, greeting them with a phono- gra ph, writing material, some "eats'' If s nondescript character, a genuine hospitality and such other facilities oA could be hastily gotten together and transported to the seaboard from Paris.
 Today the American Y. M. C. A. has approximately 2,500 workers, about 300 of them women serving American and French soldiers in al- most 1,200 different centers through out France. The familiar Red Fri angle holds out it's invitation to black and white, Catholic, Protestant, Jew or unbeliever-to hundreds of thou sands of men--in tho base ports, in the training and concentration camps, the billcting villages, the shelfire zone and even in the trenches them selves. No group of soldiers any place lover thero' has to look far for a. "Y" hut.
 In addition to its usual activities maintained for the men, the Ameri- can Y M. C. A. has been called upon 10 manage the entire post exchange system for the American Expedition ary Forces. This is the hugest single phase of all the asso ciation's huge work. Gross sales In the post ex- changes are expected to amount to 5,000,000 d year. Every month three to four thousand tons of post exchange supplies-the maximum amount for which shipping space can be secured-go from America to of the enormous quantities consumed. the Y. VI. C. A. has taken over eight factories In France The entire facilities of all are required, five for making chocolate for the post eN- -hangeS, the other three for biscuits md cookies. Sugar for the choco- late has to come from the United States, but the French are able to provide the raw chocolate Certain of the raw materials for the biscuits and cookies also are furnished from his country.

recent careful and expert estimate made in Paris indicates that if if were possible to obtain them, 4,5O0, 900 cjg- ars, 200, 900, 1000 cigarettes and an in
 determinate quantity if chewing to- bacco would be needed to meet the actual demand per month made in the field on the post exchanges. A further indication of the some barrage' sent up monthly by the members of the American EXpeditionary forces is the fact that at the present time three million boxes of matches are sold every 90 days over the counters of the exchanges. Sweets and tobacco-these are the new items that bulk largest in the post exchange, but this institution also handles some scores of other items. Soap, safety razors blades. shoestrings, chewing gum, candles, va rous kinds of brushes, -blackine, canned jam, jelly, sardincs ard the like~-all the little extras that a man likes may be had at the exchange.

stunned monthly are worth almost as
 much as the chocolate.
 Although the appetite of tho Ameri-
 can soldier and sailor in France for sweets is seemingly unsuitable, his demand for tobacco is even more amazing The army authorities have asked the Y. M. C. A. to help sup ply this need through the post ex- changes. In a single order recently the association bought 1887 tons of tobacco of all kinds. At one time there was a single shipment of 900.- 900 cigars on the seas. Chewing to- bacco is purchased by the haIf-dozcn carloads.
 This enterprise is not a money making one. Difficult and costly as it is to maintain a business of such a size under actual war conditions and in the trench areas as we'll as behind the lines, the prices that pre- vail in the post exchanges are now approximately the same as the retail prices in effect in this country. These prices are maintained in spite of the high shipping charges, the loss of supplies from snkjngs and the high cost of land transportation, whether by railroad or motor truck, in France
 Supplies Often Given to Men.
 Moreover large quantities of post exchange supplies are given away to the men in times of emergency. For example, during the course of the present great battle the American Y. M. C. A. has given away great amounts of hot and cold drinks to- 1n1 T S-jY1 i1o,- h meeting of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. held in New York, June 5, the policy of the field workers of giving supplies free to the men in the trenches and under certain other conditions of great stress, was unanimously approved by the almost two hundred members present.
 In addition, the council declared: I've confirm the action of the Exc cutive committee in assuming at the retquest of General Pershing as stated in general order Mo- 33. the responsibility for the organization and conduct of the post exchanges of the American EXpeditionary Forces. And we commend the policy of the Executive committee. while seeking to conduct this agency on 3 self-supporting basis, of not con- ducting it as a source of revenue with which to meet the expenses of other activities of the council. We authorize the Executive committee to make appropriations for the post exchange to the maximum of twenty million dollars"
 This item of a score of million is included in the budget for the cam paign to occur this fall The sum Is the working capital required to finance the post exchange in France. With the enterprise self-supporting, the amount will, of course, be kept intact.
