BEWARE THE NoNPARTIsAN LEAGUE.

An organization known as the Nonpartisan
League has secured control of the state OF
North Dakota, and it's representatives IN the
legislature there have nearly wrecked the finan-
cial integrity of the commonwealth; it has
strong following in South Dakota and Mime
sofa. and some of the almost-dead daily and
weekly newspapers there have been given new
lease of life by being fed with dollars taken
from the pockets Of misled agriculturlsts and
put to the use of keeping these publications

is disloyal to the government; it is the Boil
shevik organization of this country 1t pre-
Eents a plausible story of farmers alliance
which is merely camoufiage to cover the in
sidious work of Townley and Gilbert and its
other leaders. 1t is seeking to engraft It's mis-
PRINCIPLES here in Iowa. 1t appeals to discon-

North Dakota. Minnesota and South Dakota.
But Iowa does not want the Nonpartsan
Jeaaue Iowa farmers and worklngmen must
be on their guard or it will obtain the start
for which it is working. 1t has already IN
vested more than fifty thousand dollars IN Iowa,
and it expects to take out much more than that

part of which goes into the pocket OF the so

THE kNITTERS,


The needles fash, the needles fly;
Never a Stacker here, not one.
Faster and faster they must fly
For father, lover, brother, son.
From trenches dank, from chilling rain,
From frozen decks and biting blast
The sad cry comes. again, again
"Oh send us warmth, and send it fast!'
1.-THE shells sharp shrek bravely meet,
We shrink not from the deadly gas,
But deadlier cold and frozen feet!
Oh, let this cup of anguish pass!"
In mansion and in cottage small
The needles flash, the needles fly,
How could our heart deny that call,
How could our hearts forget that cry.
The eager children leave their play,
The granny with her trembling hands
She knits and knits the liyelong day
All through the land, all through the land
Go lay your brodery frames away,
Oh, merry maidens, girlhood sweet!
Put by the dance, the matinee,
Gay revels-fng them at your feet
oh, women of America!
To you the suffering soldiers cry.
Hear their beseaching S. o. S.
And faster, faster needles fly.

NONPARTisAN LEAGUE CLAIMS

Omaha, Neb., correspondence OF the
Christian Science Monitor: R. l..
Metcalfe. chairman of the secret serV-
ice department of the Nebraska state
council Of defense, has made public
letter written by Harry c. Wilbur OF
Fargo, n. D., executive secretary OF
the Red Cross in North Dakota, ex-
pressing his surprise that the Non
partisan league is announcing in Ne
braska that it supported the Red
Cross and the Liberty loan bond
drives in North Dakota.
Nonpartisan league orators and
organizers in Nebraska have given
much publicity to the leagues claim
that through it's work North Dakota
stands at the head of subscriptions in
both the drives.
"FIere are the facts" Mr.. Wilbur's
letter says:
Governor Frazier of North Dakota
| is the only governor l know OF who
failed to issue Red Cross proclama-
/ ton during the war fund campaign
last June.
Governor Frazier was on the plat
form at the notorious disloyalty day
meeting of the league in st. Paul at
which Senator LaFollette made his
seditious speech that is now being in
vestigated by committee of the
United States senate. No public state
ment OF Governor Frazier's disap-
proval Of what happened at that meet
ing has been made by him nor, SO far
as I know, any statement concerning
! it.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: There is
talk here and there Of putting sheep
on the golf links. They would keep
down the grass, and add to the pic
turesqueness of the scene. Some OF
the young ladies might appear as shep-
herdesses a la vatican, and they could
bring their knitting and keep busy
while watching their sheep. Inciden-
tally few men with rifles and shot
guns would have to be engaged to
keep all sorts Of vagrant ours out OF
the flock.

THE NoN.PARTIsAN LEAGUE.

Anamosa Eureka: Just what need
the farmers Of Iowa have for politi-
cal league, or party of their own, is
not clear. Almost every session Of
the state legislature is dominated by
farmers, and If they don't as class
get all that is coming to them it is
very strange. AS a matter Of fact, no
single class has Jared better in legisla-
ton than the farmers. They have
been exempted from some very an
noying legislation that has burdened
other producers. They have no kick
coming. The wisest Of them will chase
the Nonpartisan league organizers off
their farms and put their money in
to bonds or war savings stamps.
Coon Rapids Enterprise: Some
farmers are Joining and some are de
nouncing the league. Iowa will have
to look the league over and decide
what is best to do with 1t. From this

Explaining his pacifism in the early years of
the war and his subsequent change of heart,
Professor David Starr Jordan ikens himself to
a teetotaler bitten by ratlesnake who hated
the poison and loathed the whisky which was
the only cure therefor. Reluctantly, as the
lesser of the evils he took one poison to offset
the other; but finally resolved that he would
never be bitten again by that same snake. This
is the attitude of hosts of American people
They had no wish to go to war with Germany
or any other power; but now that they are in

shall never strike them again and know that

INVESTIGATING the causes Of unrest in the western
states 1t finds that the overwhelming mass
of the laboring population is in no sense dis
loval but notes the absence of what it calls s. a
healthy spirit between capital and labor. 1t
makes several recommendations, chief Of which
lis the elimination to the utmost practicable
extent of all profteering during the period of
the war. There is no room for two opinions as
to the reasonableness Of this suggestion. When
patriotic millions are offering their lives or
giving their money freely to support the gov
eminent and carry the war they are not
easily reconciled to profteering on the part of
tconscienceless individuals corporate con-
Germs. Nothing else is better calculated to
make honest, loyal self-sacrifcing people bit
terly resentful than to see the government bled
| in a crisis like this one or be themselves ex-
plotted by rapacious profiteers.

Dr. A. H. Hayden has received a
letter from his son, A. H. Hayden,
Jr., who has been dangerously ill of
, influenza on the western front. The
letter contained the very satisfying
news that the young man was ap-
parently on the road to recovery.
Interesting overseas letters have
been received lately as follows: from
Waterman Adams to his sister, Mrs.
Allie G. Adams; from Kirby Melton,
to his mother, Mrs. Sc. Melton; from
j. M. White to his father, J. P.
White and sister, Miss Ola White.
These letters were written before the
armistice was declared, but left the
boys in fine shape.
Chesterfield was treated to a
thrill last Tuesday when five aero
planes appeared in the sky overhead
travelling in a westerly direction.
Four of them passed to the north of
town and the other one was further
south. 1t was soon learned that
forced landing had been made at
Ruby by one of the planes. The land
ing was made in safety, but on at
tempting to leave the :yrc1nd and re-
sumo The flight to olumb'a, ,kt
plane cp!lided with pos, badly dam.
aging the machine. The observer,
Sergt. Rambicur, suffered broken
arm and some bruises. The lieuten-
ant in charge, Pilot E. C. Smith was
uninjured. The plane was packed in
box car and shipped to Columbia.
These planes were enroute from
Langley Field, Hampton, Va, MAX
ing a cross country flight of 375
miles to Emerson Field, Camp Jack
son. The objects of the trip are said
to have been to locate possible land
ings between Columbia and Old Point
Comfort and also to work out a sys-
TEN of aerial navigation, by which
locations may be determined in the
air by means of astronomical obser-
vations.
