Editor Courant< The editor
of the Advocate, since he left
.Omemee, and has become cor.
'rupted by his local environments,
seems to think that 1 have failed
in my fight for Socialism.
Now I have worked for GER
tain principles the past fourteen
years and I have gone with any
party that I thought would put
these principles across. And
when l., as a Socialist, was work
ing to this end, my friend, the
editor of the Advocate, was &C.
cused by the very men whom he
is now working with, of being as
much of a Socialist as I was, on
-ly he stayed within the Republi-
can ranks and got some of the
plums that were dropped. Matt
is right; after the primaries
will still. be fighting for these
same principles whether nomin.
ated or not.

A Timely Warning.
(Amidon Press.)

Keep your eyes on the s'phon-
le" farmer candidates being put
IN nomination against the league
nominees. The plan is to get
enough reactionaries in the legis-
lature to make the leagues pro-
gram an impossibility. What
we want more than anything
else is the new constitution
something up to date, under
which the people m the state can
determine how they shall be gov
ernod rather than the present
form which permits the foreign
capital invested here to deter
mine what we shall do with the
money raised BY taxation. Stick
with the league, thereby keep
Ing the advantage already rain

THE KID las GONE.

The Kid has gone to the Colors
And w don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the flag today.
We thought him a child, a baby
With never a care at all,
But his country called him man-size
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered: "Come!"
The Kid, not being a Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot-joy
To add his name to the roster
And God, we're proud Of the boy!
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
It seems but a little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy army
In q truly martial style.
But now he's a man, a soldier,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is a heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of fear.
His dad, when he told him shuddered,
His MOTHERHOOD bless her!-cried;
Yet, blest with. a mother-nature,
She Wept with a mother-pride.
But. he whose shoulders Strengthened
Was Granddad-for memory ran
To years when he, too, e youngster,
Was changed by the Flag to- = Mani

No Longer An Issue.

The farmers who have taken
the trouble to read the leading"
editorial in last weeks Advocate
will have observed that editor
Johnson has got very close to
the facts this time.
He says "the editor of the
Courant was not in the state
when House Bill A was consid-
cred by the legislature" Cor
rect. However, Mr.. Lampman
seems tobe quite accurate in his
statements. IF he had been he
would never have written the
above article in defense of the
lodging course now being taken
by Stair and Hagen" He seems
to have succeeded quite accur-
ately for a stranger, that is if
they need any defense.

issue during and Immediately
after the legislative session.
They threatened all opponents

M. P. Johnson's Hand.

Editor Courant:-M. P. john
son spoke in Newburg Monday
night and it was very amusing to
listen to the change in his song
OF two years ago. At that time
Big Biz was very wrong, but
somehow in the last two years it
must have developed wings be-
cause Mr.. johnson never men,
toned it once.
Two years ago the Nonparti-
san League was very good but
now they are all /. w VS.. MI.
johnson admitted MIR. Frazier to
be a good man, but allowed him
self to be dictated too by the
Iownleyites-an not the John
sonites.
;. Also Mr.. johnson was ESQ he
says) offered $25O.OO per month
by the Townleyites to keep his
mouth shut but evidently the st,
Paul Stock Commission firms
had more money to spend than
the Z wnley bunch, Johnson pre-
ferred to work for the latter than
for a bunch Of /. w. WIS. He
stated that he thought too much
of the North Dakota farmers to
work for. the latter. Such was
the meat of his argument. I
think it does not require a very
smart man to see where M. P.
is lined up. His talk condemn
ing LANCER and other leaguers
came with very poor grace after
hollering his head off two years
ago for them. The farmers
present at the meeting were all
united in the one thought that
cover the top" we go with a
straight N. P. League ticket.

And then he attacked waste.
citing the case of a friend who,
having twenty-five hundred dol
lars tax, had felt it necessary to
dismiss his chauffeur. The
friend was glad to pay the tax,
II it could count in full, but he
told OF a young doctor in Wash
ington who before entering the
Government service drove his
own car. The Government had
given an automobile and two
chauffeurs at seventy-five dol
lars a month each, so that eigh-
teen hundred Of this twenty-five
hundred dollar tax, which would
have paid the wage of five SOL
diers on the fighting line, had
gone to hire chauffeurs for a
doctor who had before driven
his own car. "This is but one
of thousands of instances which
could be given of like extrava-
gances," said the senator.
It is we'll for the people to
think along the lines the Senator
has suggested. As he summed
it, my pessimism has been Of

been necessary to overcome des-

The beauty of the basket,
With its fragrance sweet and rare.
Takes me back to Pine Grove
And the happy time spent there.
Brings back clearly to my memory.

In the freshness of the dew.
When the duties of the schoolroom
Had been finished for the day,
We would take book, or tatting,
And to the bridge we'd find our way.
In the stiffness of the evening,
When the winds did softly blow.
They would watt to US the fragrance
Of the pine trees down below.
And now, when / look upon this basket,
Tho I'm far away from you,
Tender thoughts of you Pm having,
And the place where the pine trees
