HAVE QUIT BEGGING.

Residents Of the Ninth district are
not going to be begged, coaxed and
cajoled into buying Liberty Bonds of
the third issue.
They are going to be told the
amount they are expected to buy, and
then permitted to explain why If they
refuse.
Under the plans being worked out
for the sale Of the third issue, each
district will be given its allotment
Of the bonds. The district will then
make the state alIotments; the state
will maxi the county alIotments:
the counties will make the township
allotments; and the townships will
make the individual aIlotments.
These will be based on knowledge of
the individuals resources. Each
individual will then be approached,
and told what is expected of him. II
he refuses. another salesman may
call on him. Then in case of failure
to buy, the county or township chair

Cases where an unfair allotment
has been made, will, of course, arise,
and they will have to be settled on
their merits. But on the coming
drive, it is estimated that rs per cent
OF the population must be sold. That
will mean an increase of about II
per cent over the last drive. 1t does
not mean that the statesmen should
have less patience in handling active
ly disloyal or passively unloyal citi-
zens; it does not mean they should
Immediately WELD a club; it does not
mean they should overlook any OPP
portunity to make good citizens as
well as sell bonds.
But the days when Uncle Sam
should have to beg for loans, has
passed. This war is a grim business.
The time for some real sacrifices has
come, and they can't be lodged by
the selfish and the Indifferent. Every
man who lodges his duty, makes the
duty of the actively loyal man so
much the heavier. The bonds are
going to be sold. They must be sold.

AERIAL TORPEDO

(By Associated Press.l

Washington. March la.-DeFelop-
ment of an aerial torpedo which its
inventor, Lester p. Barlow, of Phila-
delphia, declares offers a new and
terrible means Of carrying the war
into Germany is under study by the
signal corps. Barlow calls his inVen-
ton a long distance flying torpedo.
With this weapon" he said today
Eve could blast the German empire
to pieces, drive the populace from
German cities and muniti0n centers,
stop all industries, intimidate the
people and cause them to nee from
industrial centers."
The inventor said he planned to
build the torpedoes to carry 1850
pounds OF trinitrotuluol. the highest
explosive known to modern warfare
and hurl them 500 miles through the
air to destroy whole cities.
AT present" he said, No defense

sCTupulous and searching disCrimina'
ton between these leaders and those
whom they have misled. He sums
up the case in his closing paragraph;
The failure on the part Of any
one to turn over the state gov
eminent to those of your officers
who have assumed the organiza-
tion Of the alleged NonpaTtisan
league, and the control of the
millions of dollars collected from
its members. will undoubtedly
create opposition. But / know
that such men, pretending to be
friends of some particular class,
and deceiving some Well-inten-
toned people, cannot long con- ~
tinue their policy of deception,
for the patriotic farmers in the
country and the loyal laboring
men in the city know that their
true friends are among those who
strive for the maintenance Of
law, order and justice, and es-
pecally in this. the most serious
hour Of our history, for that
unity OF the American people
essential to the successful
termination of the war.
1t is the leadership Of the Nom
partisan league that stands arraigned
at the bar of public opinion-not the
rank and file of it's membership. 1t
is a disloyal, a demagogic, an I'M
scrupulous leadership. 1t is seeking
to arouse class against class, to
create division and disunion, and to
do this under the Camouiiage of a
belated show of loyalty. Governor
Burnquist, in stripping off its dis
guises. has done the people Of Min
neapolis a courageous and invaluable
service.

Field, whoever you may be, evidently

the best musical talent in Fargo. II
you are a performer on symphony
orchestral instruments, why not join
the orchestra and contribute your bit

or, II you do not perform yourself,
why not talk with some Of the best
musical talent Of Fargo, and see that
they join the orchestra to bring it up
to the desired standing. can as
sure you that you and your musical
friends will be cordially received. The
Fargo Symphony orchestra is open to
all orchestral performers in Fargo
and MooThead and if the best OF the
musical talent has not Joined, why
censure the orchestra?
If one Of our Conservatives DOM
mates the orchestra, who is to blame?
Where are the musicians from the
other Conservatives?
Surely, there can be no excuse for
failing to join this organization,
which may mean so much to the civic
development Of Fargo. There is no
music to compare with symphony
music in the writer's opinion, but un-
til cooperation among Fargo must

ousies, those appearing on a sym
phony program will doubtless appear
somewhat amateurish to a critic Of

suggesting that the performance OF
the orchestra was a farce, why not
consider the difficulty of presenting a
symphony concert, without the aid Of
the best talent in Fargo, and say
that the orchestra did well, consider

some of Fargo's musicians to give
Fargo a real symphony.

BIG JOB OF EXPLAINING.

1 There is a tall Job of explaining to
do on the part Of the NonPartisan
league leaders who drafted the seed
grain act.
Their half baked legislation has
placed the farmers Of the state in a
pretty mess. Because Of their
bungling attempts at legislation, the
Federal Farm Loan bank has with
drawn from the North Dakota field
temporarily. No new loans will be
made until the state extricates itself
from the muddle.
The seed bill which brought this
unfortunate situation is a Nonparti-
san product. 1t was drafted by
either Lemke, lie Sueur or Manahan.
tIt was passed in a hurry by the
house. Senator Jacobson put up a
lone fight in committee against it,
pointing out the danger Of this very
situation that has arisen. Then di-
rect from William Lemke came the
iultimatum that the priority clause
would not be eliminated, and the in
dependents passed the bin under
protest. 1t was sheer ivory-headed
lblundering.
1T will be interesting to watch Mr..
/ Townley's personal organs trying to
wiggIe out of this dilemma. OF
course no blame must be allowed to
attach to Lemke. lie Sueur or Mana
han. But they don't quite dare at
tack Mr.. Quamme of the land bank
Or question his integrity or that Of
the United States government. Big
Business, of course. is the never fail
ing excuse, but if they blame Big
Business this time they will cast re-
dections on the honesty Of Mr..
ouamme. The office boys who write
pieces for Mr.. Townley's kept organs,
certainly do have a tough time of it,
trying to play lickspittle to him 800
miles away.

TRIBUTE TO Mr.. HELeEsEN.

North Dakota's members in
Congress. NIessrs. Young. Norton and
Baer, paid their tribute of respect to
the late Congressman Henry T.
Helgesen, at a special session on
Sunday, March 10.
Copies Of the Congressional Record
received in Fargo tell Of the special
Sunday meeting Of the House, when
each Of the three members from this
state delivered a brief laudatory
speech in memory of the representa-
tive Of the First district.
It was a kindly. thoughtful act and
the tribute one we'll deserved. The
incident may bring some measure Of
/ comfort to the family Of a faithful
public servant. and If it does 1t will
have justified itself.

The Editors Mail Bag

To the Editor of The Forum:
The attention Of the writer has been
recently called to a letter written by
.. p. Field, of Fargo, and published
in your paper in the latter part of
February. This letter criticises Far
go's lack Of musical appreciation and
musical development, calling atten-
ton to the small attendance at the
concerts given by the Fargo SYM
phOny orchestra in the auditorium
and the joint concert given by Leo
pold GodOWsky and the symphony
orchestra I'm the Grand theater, a lit
tie later. However, not content to
stop there, the writer of the letter
takes a rap at the orchestra itself.
stating that ii does not represent the
best Of musical talent in Fargo, or
anywhere near 1T, and that it APP
pears to him that neither conserva-
tory should dominate the orchestra.
The writer has been member Of
the Fargo symphony orchestra since
its organization two years ago. He
Is not connected with any Of Fargo's
Conservatives or other musical or
Plantations. but will not see this un-
called for thrust so unanswered.

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted to the Task Of
Keeping Up With North Da~
kota Editors.

The Lidgerwood Broadax asks this
question:
milwaukee Socialists refused
to cheer President Wilson. What
is this? Lese majeste?"
No. Just plain yellow dogism. IL
would be lese majestic, however, II
the Germans should win this war
and the Kaiser were the one whom
they refused to cheer.
The Mandan Pioneer makes this
excuse for a more or less esteemed
contemporary:
It is hard to defend an individual
or a system that is wrong and
probably that explains the reason y
why The Courier News has made
such an editorial mess Of its
defense of the league leaders
against the attack of Governor
Burnquist of Minnesota.
The Forman Independent-News
makes this answer to the charges Of
the Townley kept press:
The only answer that we care
to make to certain misleading
and highly erroneous statements
recently speWed from /. w. w.
sources is this: Every dollar
that come to The Independent
News comes to us in the regular
course of business and is earned
by hard work. We aim in every
instance to give value received
for every dollar paid to us. The
receipts are from our regular
subscribers, from the business
men Of FOrman, and from the
90
awarded to us by the county off,
ciaIs. We do not get all the
county business, as has falsely
been said many times by the
Jealous. There the five other
papers in the county and The
Wahpeton Globe-GaZette, to
which the bulk Of the job print
ing goes. Under the law we can
only charge usual advertising
rates for notices Of candidacy for
public office. No candidate has
ever given us a sum Of money
that we did not justly earn. In
the past three campaigns, candi-
dates have been very careful as
to their expenditures because Of
the law governing such expendi-
lures. We have had candidates
for state office write US and say
they were exceedingly sorry that
they could not send us at least SIS
for advertising their candidacy,
but found they we're forbidden to
send more than a dollar, because
they had reached the limit Of ex-
penditures allowed by law. The
sum total of the income of the In
DEPENDENT News has not made US
rich, but we are alive, fairly hap
by. and will be as ready to help
our friends in the future as in
the past, and to boost for our
county in particular and the state
in general. We have a printing
ONCE equipped to do twice the
work we are now doing, and wen
try to stir up enough business to
buy print paper and a meal Of

Though the governor did not mince
words in laying bare the real charac-
ter of that leadership, he was not
merely denunciatOTy. He cited the
evidence with the pitiless precision
and cumulative effect Of a stern
prosecutor. He stated the case of
the Loyal People Of Minnesota versus
the Leaders of the Nonpartisan
League so clearly that there is no es-
cape from his conclusions.
Tt is not surprising. therefore, to
find the executive secretary of the
league, in his reply made public yes

Opinions,

The Duluth Herald: Mr.. Townley's
reply to Governor Burnquist's ring
ing challenge is an indignant asser-

Minnesota are loyal.
AS the lawyers put il, the answer
should be stricken out on the ground
that it is not responsive to the ques-

OF course the farmers and workers
are loyal Nobody said they were not
loyal. And they do not need Mr..
Townley, red-card associate of the
party that has hurled it's defiance in
the face of the nation by nominating
in Minnesota men convicted of dis
loyal activities, to assert their loyalty.
They have far better champions in
their own words and deeds.
Mr.. Townley's answer is weak. 1t
is a denial of what has not been

charge against the Socialist leadership
of the Nonpartisan league is not ans
