Is 1t dense ignorance or bald men
dacity that occasionally leads indi.
viduals. or combinations of indiyldu-
ais. to intimate that there is a pur-
chasable press. or that the press is
Influenced for a consideration by
some organization OF a commercial
Or political character? 1t is certain
ly one or the other. If those vino in
dulge in such charges have a remote
idea that the editorial opinion of even
the smallest country paper can be
bought, II they labor under the de-
fusion that the editorial columns OF
the daily press are for sale, let them
approach the publisher, make a cash
tender along those lines and see what
happens. Men who make such charges
are venal themselves and cannot IN
derstand or appreciate probity in
others.

Lake, North Dakota, June ., 1871!
The Nation demands that you give
yourselves, and your sons, and your
brothers, and your husbands, and your
sweethearts TO be taken across the
seas and spill their life's blood on
the fields of Europe, and then comes
to and asks you to subscribe to the
Liberty Bonds to pay for the expense
OF the war. This is the injustice OF
the war and the manner in which Of
ficials of the administration are carry
ing it into effect"
Is not the press, if it is TO stand
loyal TO the government in the hour
of the greatest crisis the country has
ever faced, justified in denouncing
such ar utterance?
Then, again, by the testimony OF
reputable citizens of the state. under
oath! it is proved that an organizer
of the Non Partisan League made the
statement, in confidence to man
whom he was initiating into the work
of securing membership (for a con-
sideration, mark YOU that the aim OF
the organization was revolutionary
or words TO that effect.
Do the gentlemen named, members
of Pomona Grange, stand before the
loyal people of Okanogan county, at
a time when the young men of the
county are facing mutilation and
death at the hands of the most re-
lentless foe that ever cursed the
earth, subscribe to such a declaration
and stand apologists for such apostles
of the new faith?
There are many loyal men in the
Non-Partisan League. No one is so
foolish as to gainsay that fact, but
it is also certainty that there is a
very strong proGerman element
among its membership, and that that
element somehow manages to secure
the leadership.
Until the league purges itself OF
such unpatriotic leadership, side part
ners of the kaiser, the league cannot
expect to attain the confidence and
respite of those who stand by the gov
eminent before creed or party, and
love their country with the same de-
votion with which they love their
God. The Grange has always been
clean. Let it continue to be clean by
keeping out Non-Partisan agitators
or agitators that would lead it &c
false gods.

The submarine is still a serious
menace to shipping Notwithstanding
the fact that the ever vigilant navies
OF England and America have ac-
counted for many of these German
sharks. There have been a number
OF large vessels sunk during the past
few weeks, and some of them the
largest vessels af1oat Tuesday ona
OF the largest troop transports carry
ing American soldiers to the front
was sunk off the Irish coast. Very
fortunately the sinking occurred on
the return trip, or the loss of life
might have been frightful, as the YES
sci carried between 5000 and 5000
troops on its voyage. Until some
means are discovered to eliminate
the submarine this loss of shipping
must be expected, the marvel is that
these undersea crafts have not been
able to infiict greater loses than they
have succeeded in doing.

The Spokesman-Review says that

have no doubt that war would have

Lusitania would have been sunk with
the fearful loss of women and chill

notice was made warning people not
to sail in the Lusitania, as such no.

DAYS new MEANING
This Year National Rejoicing Is
AIIoyed With Thought Of
Glad Sacrifice.
TO a very great number Of us,

ITO a very great number Of rs,
especially the fathers and
mothers and wives of the Unit
ed States, Thursday will be IN of the
most realistic T~hanksgivings we have
sver spent. At last, after many years
in which this national holiday was
nothing more than that-merely, In
tact, an occasion for feasting and gath
aring and pleasure>seeking-this dis
tinctly American day is to mean some
hing very real and intimate to US all.
Just what message and benefit 1t
brings to us will depend largely. II not
wholly, upon ourselves. And the char
acter of our appreciation of the bless
.ngs that have come to us will measure
the depth of our patriotism and love
IF country.
We are not of those who believe the
whole sacrifice belongs to the man who
has gone away to fight. AS much-in
some cases even mOre-bravery and
courage and devotion to duty and to
country have been necessary on the
part of those who remained behind.
And we are certain that those who
stop at home will, on this coming
Thanksgiving. realize more completely
than they have heretofore that the call
Fate has made upon American a
hood and womanhood is indeed an Op-
portunity for service. not merely a
d~isagreeable duty to be shirked If pos
sible. For only II the men in the
ranks, and equally the men and wom-
On at home who support and ncou
age them, enter this war in such q
spirit of glad, eager sacrifice will 1t
eve bring us more than d~isappoint-
ment and regret and terrible loss.
So let Thursday be a day Of glad
ness, not Of sorrow. Let your tears,
If tears there be as you sit beside the
empty chairs, be evidences that your
heart rejoices in the realization that
your son or husband or brother or
friend was brave enough and willing
enough, yes, eager enough. to risk all
that selfish men hold dear and desir-
able that his country might win honor
and security through his blood.
