Democratic choice, lin the interest of
loyalty"
That the great body Of Wisconsin
citZenry, regardless Of party affilia-
tons, would prefer Davies to any
chance OF a combination that would
elevate a pro German Socialist, there
is no doubt. But there is the oues-
ton whether a still larger body would
prefer LenroOt to Davies. Lenroot is
now a member of the house and
Davies is a member Of the federal
trade commission. 1t may be assumed
that they are equally loyal. But it
viii be urged that Wisconsin is
normally a Republican state and that
the Republican vote in Tuesdays
primary election more than doubled
the Democratic vote. Therefore, why
not ask Davies TO withdraw in favor
Of Lenroot, lin the interest of loyal
tyr" It was LenrOOt, not Davies, who
made the successful fight against the
La Toilette dislOyalty.
1t is well to be open minded on this
question. The people of Wisconsin
are ready and want to do the right
thing. There may be special reasons,
outside OF partisanism, for urging the
withdrawal Of one or the other Of the
loyalty candidates, but they have not
been made clear. Let US have them
openly and frankly stated and let the
decision come from the people OF
Wisconsin, without outside interfer-
ence or influence-especiaIl inter-
ference from Washington. Nothing
will so muddls and endanEer the
loyalty struggle in Wisconsin as the
suspicion that Washington, for par
tisan purposes. is becoming unduly
active.

Mr.. Hanna might have elected to

out glory or the hope Of it, without

realization that he is serving the

TOwnley newspapers a chance to
do some talking, but with no
hope or expectation that such a
bill would ever pass, or become a
law. 1t was purely and simply
a grand stand" play and has
been the means of giving North
Dakota more unenviable adver-
Using than anything that has
taken place for years. Our state
has been shown up to the east
ern man as a place of poverty,
and a place where the poverty
stricken farmers are so poor
that they could not get feed or
seed to put in their crops. In
the meantime Frazier was call
ing a special session Of the legis-
lature for practically the same
purpose, and this fact was also
heralded over the whole United
States. In fact there is not a
state in the union where the
farmers are better fixed and
more independent than right here
in North Dakota, and the beauty
OF ii is that the farmers in this
state have made their money
here. If Baer succeeds in re-
manning in congress for the next
ten years he will not be able to
undo the damage he has done to
our state. But then, Townley
had to have some big thing to
spread before the farmers. AS a
joke in congress, Baer stands on
the top Of the ladder.

A Column Devoted to the Task Of
Keeping Up With North Da-

Inc Page Record has this com
ment on the farm loan situation:
At last the Nonpartisan papers
admit that the bonding law pass
ed at the extra session of the
legislature has made it impos-
sible to secure loans from the
federal land banks. If they con-
tinue with the i'll advised legis-
lation they propose, further
hardshtps will be heaped on the
farmers.
The New Rockford Transcript saw

next Liberty loan drive. Here is il.
comment which has familiar
sound:
Residents Of the Ninth district

coaxed and cajoled into buying
Liberty bonds of the third is

They are going to be told the
amount they are expected to buy,
and then permitted TO explain
why II they refuse.
Under the plans being worked
out for the sale Of the third
issue, each district will he given
it's allotment OF the bonds. The
district will then make the state
allotment; the state will make
the county allotments; the coun-
ties their district allotments.
The Grand Forks Herald COM
ments on the plan to substitute
potatoes for bread, as follows:
An interesting bread saving
suggestion comes from London,
where a chain AZ hotels operated
by a company has established
the practice Of serving baked
potatoes at tables to guests free
OF charge with dishes of which
they form a suitable accompanl-
ment, provided no bread is eat
en-. AS bread has always been
a free item in English restau-
rants, this substitution Of pota-N
toes. according to The London
Caterer. entails no change in
making out the guests checks.
The North Dakota Capital OF
Jamestown makes this mysterious
to those who are fighting
the farmers:
II is quite evident that those
who are fighting the farmers and
their ORGANIZATIONS do not have a
very high opinion Of the intellig-
gence OF the farmers, to judge
from the strong arm methods
employed Anyway, 1t IS a dead
ringer that the farmers do not
have a high opinion OF the in
telligence Of those who are using
such methods to prevent the
farmers, the only food producers
in the nation. from securing a
square deal. The farmers do not
want an advantage that someone
else does not have-all they want
is an even break, on a basis Of
$3.50. That's all.

follows:
1t is significant Of the strain

cent instances are the red eagle

in Detroit and other cities. An
other story goes that in England

THE MEASURE OF VICTORY.

Not in a few square miles Of
blasted territory will the victory in
the present great battle be measured.
The ground that is now being
fought over. has all been held by the
Germans before. They are sacrifc-
ing hundreds Of thousands of men to
regain territory from which they
voluntarily withdrew. Even If
PerOnns and Bapaume are taken,
they will not have regained the
ground they lost on the Somme.
The Allies are retreating, it is true,
but they are retreating in good or
der to other lines Of defense, fighting
rs they fall back and taking a ter
rible toll of the advancing Germans.
10 attempt to hold rigidly any line
Of trenches in the face Of such a
concentrated attack. would be
suicidal. The Allies expected to lose
b few square miles of territory when
Khe German offensive came. 1t was
part Of their plan to do so. The line
that Is too rigidly held may be
broken, but the line that bends I'M
der pressure grows stronger as it
bends backward and as reserves are
brought up to reinforce 1t.
When the German advance is halt

even greater scale, the battle may
continue for days or even weeks.

The Walsh County Record adds i'll
voice to that Of Former Ambassador
Gerard i'm calling for more realists
as follows:
Former Ambassador James w.
Gerard in discussing the war
says that America has too many
thinkers, too many dreamers and
not enough doors. What we need,
he says, is more realism in con-
Quoting the war. Those are not
the former ambassadors exact
words but they express his
meaning.
And what he says is very true.
We need the realists We need
the men who have the business
heads; The men who have the
skill with their hands, the men
who are trained to do things.
Thinkers and dreamers and
agitators will never win the war.
1t is q great task that is ahead
and we want to do IL in a great
way. 1T is going to take reaIists
to accomplish our purpose.

THE SUPREME HORROR.

Despite the tragedies Of nearly
-four years Of warfare, which
have duIled the sensibilities of
the world, humanity stands
aghast at the horror Of the
shambles around st. Quentin.
1t is the crucial struggle Of
the war; the greatest battle OF
all time.
If the Huns break through,
France will be overrun, and
Great Britain and America will
he left alone to battle with the
PrusEian brute.
If they don't break through,
Ct will be the beginning of the
end Of the German Empire, for
the picked Germans troops are
being thrown into the conhagra-
ton with no thought of their
lives.
Prussia has staked everything
on the gamble that she can
break the British line.
Every able bodied American is
saying to himself today: They
are fighting at st. Quentin and
] am not there. The battle of
Armageddon, the great climactic
struggle between humanity and
the Beast is on, and l am 1000
miles away.
But there is a chance for such
men to keep their self-respect.
There is work to be done at
home. Nobody needs to be told
what that work is. Liberty
bonds. Thrift stamps. The Red
Cross. Hun propaganda. Food
conservation.
Nothing else matters. If they
break through over there, the
war will have only begun for
America. But they can't and
they won't break the British
line.

reasoning is sound otherwise. II
says:
The time is fast approaching
when the people viii have to
select which side they will stand
on: patriotism and loyalty or
agitation and disloyalty. The
demarcation line is being drawn
more clearly every day. The So
cialists at their last national con-
vention, chose the latter side.
However. in justice to some of
the members we want to say
that there were a few, who when
they saw the real fundamental
truth and the real principles of
the party disclosed, at once re-
nounced all allegiance 10 the
party and came out squarely
against it. Men like Charles r.
Russell and few others re-
canted, but the majority are still
cropping around in the darkness
and persisting in their venomous
agitation.
