A Sensible Conclusion.

Cavalier Chronicle: Many predict that the
joining of the independent republican forces of
the state with the democrats in effort to elect
Doyle over Frazier for Governor, will increase
the intensity of effort on the part of the Non
partisan League to elect their ticket by a more
sweeping majority vote than if such democrat
ic-republican computation had not been made.
Heretofore in the political history of republic
canism the party has been willing to suffer
downright defeat rather than combine with the
democrats or any other political organization
to achieve victory, and we have a conviction
now that, if republican principles stand for any
good thing, the party heads of former years
were more wise than those of today. Where
the people rule Especially intelligent people
like those of North Dakota) there ought to
exist no great fear that the moral and mater
ial interests of the state will be seriously in
mental control Of the same; for as certain as
the sun shines the people will quickly detect
the misrule, rise up and knock out the offenders.
If the Nonpartisan League gains full political
control of North Dakota this fall las they now
seem destined to do) they will give equal pros
perity to all legitimate classes of business and
industry in the state, or their political control
will be OF mighty short duration, for even the
people who now favor their government will
quickly go back upon it and launch out in force
to right the wrong. Government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people shall not
perish from the earth" nor even the state of
North Dakota, and while many may fear the as
cendancy Of the Nonpartisan League to power.
if the League is really going to get there, ali
republicans who are thus struck with fear
should take their medicine with good grace and
await results, rather than to seek combination
with democrats whose governmental principles
have always been antagonistic to their own. n
the hope Of achieving possible victory over the
new party now making powerful effort for state
control.

Political Flannel-Mouths
Grossly Review

#-- III # w
Do you remember hearing certain flannel
mouthed politicians, last spring, saying that we
ought to forget all about politics and give our
whole attention to winning the war?
Well, we didn't listen to them. We exercls-
ed our right as Republican voters and gave one
wing of the party a beautiful trimming in the
primaries. The defeated wing was led by the
fannel-mouths who said: Lets forget poll
tics and win the war;" Having been beautiful
ly licked, are they now ready to take their chas-
tisement gracefully, join hands with us and say
Lets be friends again and get together on the
big job over in Europe" Not so you can notice
it.
Their bosses won't let them. The flannel
mouths heard their masters voices out OF the
east saying, Get busy now, and lick those
farmers. That is your first duty. All else can
wait" And so they gathered at Minot and
adopted a set of resolutions which they, IN their
childish innocence, imagine will fool a majority
OF the voters into putting the lackeys Of these
flannel-mouths into office.
Still there must have been a Democrat or two
in the gang for their gathering had intelligence
enough to give it's approval to President Will
sons administration which the lack-wits gath
cred as the Lincoln Republican League last May,
had not. But the Democrats must have left
early because, as the resolutions increased in
number, each addition grew more asinine until
the closing ones made us wonder what sort OF
mental leprosy the crew was afflicted with. i
The late lamented leader of this seldom-brain-
ed flock was the only state official deemed
worthy Of praise. For which the rest of our
official family should be duly thankful, for
praise from such scurvy marplots blights the
reputation Of the one who receives it.
Again these servile TOOLS of the system OF
gang rule in politics said they were against their
own game, they they did not want a set of Of
ficials controlled by the Townley gang. The
Townley gang came forward in June, over fiji
ty thousands strong, nominated it's candidate,
and now these scorbutic soreheads meet at Mi
not and yowl and make faces at us because we
control the men we elect.
For which confession we are duly grateful.
For we would much rather control them our
selves than have them in the services of the po-
.litical cut-throats that gathered at Minot for
the second time.
Some satirist once said that language was
made to conceal thought. He had never seen
an Independent Voter scratching the wart at
the top of his neck to make it shed resolutions.
If he had he would have said that language was
made to conceal the lack of thought. For, leav-
ing aside the endorsement of the national adj
ministration, drawn by some Democrat, the
acme of brainless, senseless, vapid, sickening,
Juggling of words is to be found in that Minot
set of resolutions No. e..

The Kaiser.

Time was he held the worlds respect
And friends he had to speak his worth /:
He could have walked with head erect
In any land upon the earth;
And he had honor on his scroll,
But none of these is his today:
He stands, a black and shriveled soul.
With all life's treasures flung away.
Fer he has bartered truth for gain,
Changed mercy for the lust Of power.
Turned murderer that he might reign
In brutal fashion for an hour.
Justice, the jewel of all crowns,
Out of it's setting he has torn
And in it's place are ravished towns
And women dead, with babes unborn.
If ever kindness he possessed.
Twas pawned to hatred long q
His deeds have stained with shame the
crest
That once was white as driven snow.
That faith of mai in God divine
In him has changed to blasphemy,
Nor has he kept one virtue fine
To comfort him in days to be.
Oh, what . sorry wreck Of life
This man OF regal birth has made.
Who came, equipped for manly strife.
But chose to WELD dishonor's bladei
Once there Were friends TO speak his
worth,
But now he stands alone, 1t bay.
Ihe most dehased, despised, On earth
tdtiifsaezsF hunel away.

SHALL THE GRAIN GAMBLERS PROFI-
TEER IN RYE?

Since the government took from the gram
gamblers the right to speculate in wheat, tney
turned their attention to rye.
They have gambled in rye and have done so
at the expense of the produces, as you shall see.
Tn the month of March this year, rye was
selling on the Minneapolis market for $500 per
bushel.
At the present writing rye is selling on the
Minneapolis market for $1.85 per bushel.
In March the rye was all out of the hands OF
the producers and into the hands OF the specu-
lators. The price was then $3.O5.
At present the new crop is coming onto the
market and the price is now $1's5 per bushel.
What's the reason? The reason is this.
This is the same old game which the Cham
hers of Commerce have worked on the farmers
of the northwest for years.
And farmers stood for it for years, and then
fought it and fought it hard through the Amer
lean Society of Equity and their business or
ganization at the terminal, the Equity Cooper
alive Exchange.
But what are you going to do about it this
year?
Isn't it apparent that the spectators will get
your rye at less than $1.85 if you market it
now?
Then the Equity Cooperative Exchange will
store it for you until the price is where it ought
to be.
Resolutions were passed at the grain grow
ers conference in Fargo recently that rye ought
to be not less than $40 per bushel and asked
the government to fix the price on rye at that
figure.
While this is being settled, whatever you do,
don't dump your rye onto the market at thresh-
ing time.
That's just what the grain thieves want you
to do.-Co-operators' Herald.
