(From the American Falls Press)
In considering the Non-partisar
league there are three elements OF
factors that must be considered sep.
arately, namely: the membership, the
leadership, and the policies the
league is advocating.
A Tribute to Members
The membership is so far as the
county is concerned, above question
it is made up of average, lawabidine
and well disposed persons, who are
seeking what all of us are, the larg.
est measure of common benefits tina,
can be secured thru political chan.
nels. Membership in the league
neither add to nor detracts from
their standing. They are the same
men. with the same motives and pur-
poses, the same ambitions, that they
were before the league was ever
heard of. The only question concern
ing them is, are they being rightly
Informed so that they may act wisely
and intelligently to bring the great
est measure of good to the country,
the state, and the nation of which
they are apart. Men grow mentally
as well as physically on the things
they feed upon. II they are given
unbiased information (mental food }
they will think and act in an un-
biased manner. If the information
with which they are supplied is not
true and uncolored, they can not
think correctly nor reach right con-
n1r Cd AppI sy1 DO hn I,
of the league are not different from
those who are not members.
Criticises Leaders
The leadership of the league is an
entirely different matter. If the
writer had as high an opinion of the
leadership as he has Of the member
ship, he would be an ardent defender
of them. There is only one way OF
judging anyone, and that is by his
words and acts, but the things he ad-
vocates and does. There is no other
basis upon which to judge anyone.
Men compel the respect or disrespect
of others by their own words and
deeds. We all make our place in the
communities in which we live. No
man can be respected merely be-
cause he wishes to be. What he says
and does must appeal favorably to
his neighbors to gain and hold their
confidence. And ones acts must con-
form to his words, and be worthy of
them, If he would enjoy the con-
fidence of those who know him.
Who are the Leaders
Who and what is the leadership Of
the Non-partisan league? Does it
lie in John R. Bowen, H. G. Boley or
others who have taken an active part
in securing local membership? Do
they in any way control or direct the
activities of the league, or formulate
it's policies? Does this power and au-
thority rest with Scholtz and McKaig

ATTITUDE OF NATIONAL
FOOD ADMINISTRATION
ON CANDY INDUSTRY

In ORDER to place authoritative in.
formation before its, readers on. the
subject of sugar and its use by
manufacturers" the Western Con.
fectioner, published in Seattle, Wash
addressed telegram to the commit,
tee on public information, Washing
ton, D. c. on the fourth of last Aug
The telegram was answered by the
United States food administration
August 6. The two kilograms follow
and should be read by every person
who has at heart the welfare and pre-
servation Of industry during these
war times:
August 4, 1918,
Committee on Public Information,
Washington, d. G.
Local food administration office Is
crowded ali day with people who
think their sugar allowance is
greatly reduced because the candy
manufacturer is permitted to operate.
We believe you would assist the food
administration in its wise effort to
protect all lines of business to as
great degree as it can by offering
as a telegraph story the information
that If all sugar allotted candy under
the so per cent restriction were dis
tributed pro rata each individual
would get but two and half table
spoons more per month. Walter
Hughes, Powhatan Hoted can verify
figures.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 6, 1918.
Western Confectioner,
Seattle, Wash.
The United States food administra-
ton believes that it has already re-
stricted candy industry to point
beyond which further reduction in
the use of sugar will do more harm
than good. 1t has taken into account
the fact that the candy industry en-
ployes about two hundred thousand
people and that to cause the indus.
try to close down would throw very
large element Of our population out
of work.
With present restrictions candy
manufacturers can receive only SO per
cent of the sugar needed to meet
their requirements. Even II the
sugar was entirely taken away it
would add only 15,0OO tons month
for consumption thru other channels.
Should these $1,000 tons be divided
pro rata among the American people,
it would give each one less than one
third Of pound month in addition
to what they now receive.
The food administration does not
feel the resultant gain would COM
pensate for the injury done to an
established industry. The first re-
strictions placed on the use of sugar
we're directed against the confec-
toner and the additional restrictions
now placed upon his use Of sugar
has put the candy industry on par
below that of any other manufactur-
ing industry in the country.
The food administration feels that
with present restrictions it should not
ask the candy industry for further
toward our war effort
unless the sugar situation becomes
still more serious than it is today. In
point of hardship the manufacturers
have already suffered greater priva-
ton than individual no lseholders.

A SMALL BLAZE

The fire department was called
out Thursday evening about 1890,
when the coal shed, at the residence
of George T. Marshall caught fire.
The cause OF the fire is unknown,
as there was no one around at the
time the blaze started.

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL
CLOSED BY INFLUENZA
Several New Cases in City and Ban
Still Holds on ALI Public
Meetings

On account of a few cases of in
f1uenza in Morris, the Health auth
critics have thought it best not to
lift the quarantine next week. Con-
sequently the churches will not open
next Sunday and the schools will not
open next week. The Agricultural
School has been closed this week as
thirty-five cases Of influenza broke
out there last Saturday. The Girls
Dormitory was Immediately turned
into hospital and those who did not
have symptoms of the disease were
allowed to go to their homes.
DR.. Caine, chairman of the Board
of Health, and DR.. Geenty, mayor of
the city of Morris, have had circulars
printed and distributed, giving GER
tain rules which patients and their
families should follow. The direc-
lions are given below.
In behalf of the safety and well
being Of the people of Stevens Coun-
ty, we urge upon you the strictest
possible compliance with the follow
ing directions:-
1. Allow no one but the unrse or
attendant in the room with the
patient.
2. The nurse, or member of fam
lily acting as nurse, should wear an
influenza mask, and either an oper-
ating gown, or a large apron, which
can and should be removed before
the nurse leaves the room and comes
in contact with other persons. The
influenza mask is doubly safe if
soaked in a solution of bicloride Of
murcery occasionally, then wrung

COMMENCES ACTION ON
OTTER TAIL COMPANY
S. Stewart Commences Action to Re
train Company From Making
Sur-charge

IS. Stewart of Morris has COM
menced action to refrain the Otter
Tail Power Company from charging
or collecting any compensation for
light, heat and power in excess of
the maximum compensation as pro-
vided for in the contracts entered
into between the city and the Power
Company. A hearing for the grant
ing Of temporary injunction is to
be held on Monday, November II,
before Judge Flaherty.
Attorney Mangan of Morris is re-
presenting Mr.. Stewart and at the
commencement of the action he Sc
cured restraining order prohibit
ing the Power Company from charg-
ing any compensation in excess of
the maximum provided for in the
contracts until after the hearing.
For this reason the company is not
collecting the surcharge on the regu-
lar monthly bills, but if the COM
pany wins in the suit, then each
customer will have to pay the sur
charge later.
If the action is sustained and an
injunction issued pending it's final
termination, it will save the citizens
Of Morris and tax payers several
thousand dollars per month in money
paid direct to the power company
and in taxes.

by proclaim to the citizens of the
city that, during the week begin
ming Sunday, November the tenth,
1918, they bestow attention, lend
effort and strength, and give liter
ally to the fullest extent of their
means to the appeal for funds that
shall be made by United War Work
Campaign for 100000, to
carry on this wonderful work so
auspiciously begun. During the
next year, which is undoubtedly to
be the most critical year in the war,
our men in service must experience
no interruption or modification of
the extent to which this morale-mak-
ing work has entered into their lives
and brought happiness and courage.
To see that this does not happen is
the part of those of us whom our
boys have left at home.

AMONG THE CHURCHES
Congregational Church

To the members of the Congrega-
tional church and congregation.
In our study of the Bible lesson
last Sunday we found that before
one can know the principles of Jesus
he must first become a follower of
Jesus.
The beatitudes then set forth to
His followers that first in order to
be members of the Kingdom one
must submit his will to the will of
God. These are the ''Poor in Spirit -
Then who mourns for his sin will be
comforted by the Pardon of his
Saviour. The meek are those who do
not show arrogance toward their fell
lows and so are blessed. Hunger and
thirst are the most insistent of our
lives. So must we long for true
right living in our own hearts. He
who would obtain mercy must him
self be merciful. Germany has been
cruel so she has no sympathy of
angels nor of men.
Purity and peacableness are es-
sentials of prosperity on earth or in
heaven. The righteous shall have
persecution, so do not be perturbed
when you are slandered and falsely
spoken against for His sake.
For next Sundays study let us
take Mat. $500. Here we will
find the relation of the follower of
Jesus to the world. Let us show the
spirit commended in our lesson for
next Sunday.
Respectfully yours,
F. II. Richardson.
