TOWNLEY'S LEGISLATION.

Farmers of North Dakota face ruin as
a result of the seed bond law recently
passed by the nonpartisan legislature,
President E. e. Quamme of the St. Paul
federal land bank declared today.
''The legislature, by this probably un.
whiting act, have been the worst enemy
of the North g, Dakota farmer" said
President Quamme. "Such law should
never have passed and would not have
been had there been real statesmen in
that legislature"
The farmers are greatly alarmed as
they face the possibility of being unable
to obtain financial support from the
land bank because of the operation oi
the seed bond law. Mr.. Quamme said
He admitted the st. Paul bank is no,
making new loans in North Dakota ano
as not slncs the seed law became effec
tive. He suggested an extra session o
the Legislature to annul the law.
1t is claimed that counties in the state
that does not issue bonds will have the
privilege of the Federal Loans. If this
is the case Mr.. Townley's special session
of the legislature that cost the state ovel
Sl5, OOU did more harm than good.

A SOLDIER is NOT
"BONA FIDE FARMER"

A subscriber critlcises us for making
the statement in this department last
week that the farmer boys remained at
home while the other boys went to war.
He claims that the farmers boys are
just as patriotic and have enlisted Just
as freely as have other boys. Sub
scriber" is both right and wrong. The
farmer boys are just as patriotic as any
other class of boys and are numerically
as numerous in the ranks, but s'sub bscrib-
or" overlooks the point of the paragraph
he critlcjses. According to the publish
ed Nonpartisan instructions, only "bons
tide farmers may be present at the
nonpartisan caucus. It is self-evident
that when the farmer boy puts on the
khaki uniform he Is no longer 4 "bona
ide farmer" and loses his qualifications
as member Of the, nonpartisan lesgne.
The point Of the paragraph was that
the wearing Of : US. uniform dis

at . Nonpartisan caucus. Or convention.

lists so full of sorrow and terror and

Some thirteen men have been indicted
by the federal jury and are now having
trials at Fargo for seditious talk. Per

these men are really desloyal at heart.
They are just natural born objectors.
We believe that investigation would
show that these same men have always
been habitually kickers and knockers.
1t is just habit with them, and turtle er
believe that if they were really put to
the actual test, they would fight for the
country as hard if not harder than more

But if man is disloyal, if he is pro.

fool enough to talk disloyalty to others.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The raids and assaults along the lines
in number and intensity. Good weather
has its influence in this work, but doubt
less they are preliminary to the heavier
fighting that everyone expects soon
The Germans are evidently trying out
the new American troops as the assaults
in those sectors have been frequent and
heavy and as consequence the Ameri-
can Casualty lists" begin to occupy
considerable space in the daily papers.
So far, the Americans report that the
net successes are with them.
Russia still remains IN the same dlsor-
gsnized state, though the Bolsheviki
authorities have been almost frantirally
begging peace from Germany. The
peace paper is said to have been signed
but as usual, the Germans apparently
consider it but piece of paper and keep
right on marching into the interior and
are expected in Petrograd any day now.
The embassies of the entente allies have
left for their own countries, though some
are having considerable trouble in get
ting away.
Poor little Roumania. isolated from al
friends is also making peace, though the
terms are pbt yet settled.
Drafted men from the different states
are being called to the various camps
and the last OF the first draft will soon
begin training. Calls for the second
draft are expected IN April.
All reports are to the effect that Ger
many has the largest army she has ever
had on the French front, while the en-
tente allies are much stronger in every
way than ever before and they think
superior IN every branch of military
power.
This points perhaps to the greatest
battle of history in point Of numbers en-.
gagged and probably in the number of
casualties. But it will be series of
battles fought at widely separated
points, though the critical fighting will
doubtless be pushed at one, possibly two
points, the other contests being in the
nature of fe1nts.
