The Wahpeton Times comments on the politica
situation as follows:
John M. Baer, the present congressman,
from this district, elected on the Democratic
ticket, and is a candidate for reelection on
the Republican ticket, was also in town last
Friday. The only time the voters of this
county ran up against a similar proposition,
was when W. r. Fitzpatrick sought re-elec-
ton on the Republican ticket after being
elected by the Democrats.
He was skinned to a FRAGILE. That may
be the fate awaiting Mr. Baer It should be.
When Baer was first elected much notoriety
was given to the fact that he and his father
before him had always been such staunch
Democrats Now with any change of heart
or from choice he becomes a candidate on
the Republican ticket.
lie became candidate on the Republican
ticket because he was told to. The same per-
son that told him to do that could tell him
to do any else just as effectively. Now then
If some one can tell Mr.. Baer what to do and
have him do it, he ceases to be our repre-
sentative in Congress. He represents some
else.
Will the people Of this district vote for and
elect a man to Congress who they know will
not represent them.
The Washburn Leader has the following edi
torial comment on the single tax:
Missouri farmers repudiated the doctrine
proposed for North Dakota. How the doc
tr1ne of the single tax has been cunningly
sugarcoated in one of the constitutional
amendments proposed for adoption at the
November election, is being set forth by S.
J. Doyle, candidate for governor in opposi-
ton to the Nonpartisan nominee Mr..
Frazier.
The single tax once was an issue in Mis-
souri,, where the farmers, in 1912, voted it
down.. 5o8,137 to 86647. In Missouri rich
manufacturers, working through the FEELS
fund.- sought the adoption Of the single tax
with the result that the state was thrown
into the widest campaign ever known there,
farmers who never before had ventured on
the stump becoming fiery campaigners
There, as in North Dakota, Socialists were
chief supporters of the single tax doctrine
of which Henry George the original single
.taxer, in his book. Progress and Poverty"
says:
"I dc. not propose either to purchase or to
conhscate private property in land. The first
would be unjust; the second needless Let
the individuals who now hold it still retain if
they want to, possession of what they are
pleased to call their land. Let them continue
to call it their land, let them buy and sell and
bequeath and devise it. We may safely leave
them the shell, If we take the kernel"
1t is not necessary to confscate the land;
Sc 1t is only necessary to confscate the rent In
this way the state may become the universal
landlord without calling herself So"

In the first place there isn't any such variety of
diphtheria as BLACK diphtheria" known to the
medical profession, and in the second place. there
isn't any diphtheria in Fargo. Otherwise, the re-

"The peace which President Wilson proposes is
a. peace placing Germany at the mercy Of its oppo-
ponents,' complains Theodor Wolff, in The Ber-
lin Tageblatt Mr.. Wolff gets the idea perfectly.
The other Berlin "blatts" may reach this con-
clusion in time.
President Wilson, in personal letter to Sena-
tor Nelson, urged him to be a candidate for re-
election, when the Grand Old Man was ready to
retire. Now the President classes him among the
undesirables, by his sweeping generalization
against Republicans The alternative is W. C.
Calderwood, Endorsed by the Reds. Politics is
adjourned"

sorely tried people" His "sorely tried people" do

ty miles an hour, it is common joke
along the soldiers to eXclaim they
fare trying to beat us to Vienna" The
present battle on the Piave began Of
ficially Oct. 10 but heavy fighting
did not develop until Oct. "a, the an
niversary of Caporetto, and the be-
ginning of the retreat to the Piave.
The italian official statements of the
fighting have been reserved in their
comments owing to- weather cond1-
tions which threatened a rise in the
Piave.
Thanks to the fair weather Of the
last two days the river has been LETT
several miles behind in the region
southeast Of Montello. Movements
across the river in force are increas-
ing steadily and in the best order
notwithstanding the constant shell"
ing from the Austrian artillery.
Eve used to say that all roads
led to Rome" said an Italian general
speaking of the new advance, but
now it appears that all roads lead TO-
ward the land of the barbarians." =
Traffic has been so well organized
that there has been scarcely any
interruption. The vast network OF
roads leading to the plains OF the
Piave are filled with soldiers ana
trucks carrying war material. When-
ever a. bomb or shell drops on the
roadway the debris is quickly re-
moved and the road once again IS
