The nonpartisan leader., 1918-01-28
BY DR.. A. e. WINSHIP

VT ONE reads the reactionary
press in or out of North Dakota
he may think chat civically and
politically North Dakota is a
Bad Land and that it deserves all the
wreckage of the flickertails. What
is it all about? Why, the farmers
who are 80 per cent of the people
suddenly took possession of the state
which they have long kept running
with their taxes.
Suffice it to say that the few who
had always ruled surrendered the
legislature, all state offices but one,
and the only seat in congress that
has been vacant recently to the many
because the farmers had the votes.
The men in power made the same
mistake that Mayor Mitchell and his
friends made in New York in 1917,
thought of themselves and their kind
instead of those who had the votes.
To say that the farmers of North
Dakota can not learn to be good legis-
lators and good state officials is off
the same piece of cloth as to call
North Dakotans "flickertails'' and
the beautiful slopes and colors of
Billings county bad Lands
The farmers elected as their gov
ernor the first university graduate
in the history of the state, made more
generous appropriations for the high
er institutions of learning than ever
before, voted more abundant sub
sides for city public schools than
e
North Dakota and all records of all
states in 1917 in legislation for rural
school improvement. If this is an
evidence of inefficiency in public life
let's have lot more of it.

(Dr. Winship, who wrote the fol-
lowing statement, is editor of the
Journal of Education, published at
Boston, and has an internation-
al reputation as one of Amer
ica's leading educators. He recent
Iy made trip through North Da-
kota, boosting the rural school
campaign. These are his own i'm
pressions of the North Dakota
farmer movement and the North
Dakota farmer governor.)

ABOUT NORTH DAkOTA'S
NEW FARMER GOVERNOR

North Dakota has governor
whose vision inspires the people and
scares those who see the possibility
Of a new leadership of the people.
Governor Frazier is interesting
personally, more interesting because
of the suddenness of his prominence,
most interesting because of the unac-
countableness of his appearance in
the political arena.
Is he rocket or a thousand-candle-
power headlight? Is he meteor or
a new star in the armament?
l am not a prophet nor the son of
a prophet and a guess would be fu-
tile, but 1 would like to talk about
the man as I know him with dis
tinct understanding that I have no
interest in the future of the COVER
nor or of the Nonpartisan league.
Suffice it to say that Governor
Frazier is from the people, of the
people and was brought into public
life by the people.
He believes this automobile, fly
ing machine, wireles telephone age is
for the mechanic and farmer as well
as for the sport and the financier, and
I he has no more respect for the
crystallization of the dude than he has
for the fossilization of the rube.
There is no danger that friends can
initiate his ambition any more than

MUCH FOOD FOR sELGlANS.
Immense Stores Forwarded Thru Efforts
Of American Commission.

Correspondence Associated Press :.
Paris. April l0.-In all 6.0l6.644.e0o
pounds Of foodsiuffs have reached the
Belgian civil population thru the COM
mission for relief In Belgium from NOV,
l. 1914. to Oct 81. 1917, il is announced.
1t is due to the marvellous generosity
Of The United States of America that
the Belgians have escaped destruction
thru famine, says the Informations
Belges a publication edited at Mavre
under the auspices OF the Belgian gov
eminent. They will never forget il.
II adds.
When Herbert c. Hoover organized
the commission for relief in Belgium in
the fall Of 1914 and purchased in Lon
don the few thousands sacks of -four
and wheat that were sent to Belgium in
the care of Hush-S Gibson, the seCre-
tery Of the American legation at Brus-
sells who had CONC IN London for that
purpose. none foresaw that the institu-
ton would grow 10 such proportions
and would become the greatest work
Of the kind ever attempted.
The average distribution Of foodstuffs
u the Belgian population during the
three years referred 10 above was 81
4s0.034 pounds daily.
Importations into Belgium would
have reached much greater figures had
IL not been for numerous sinkings by
German J-boats of ships loaded with
tuodstuffs for the Belgians.

Americans R,ral the
Morie Thrills in First
Big Fight With Huns

Philadelphia May 1.-THE biggest
sensation in Europe Just now IS the
WY the American soldiers fight. So
declared DR. William T. Ellis last night
upon his return here from France.
" here he witnessed the first impoi lant
independent American battle.
50 many men who took part in that
battle have been decorated, he said,
that l think | am safe in telling who
they were-the IQith regiment, Massa-
Cbusetts troops. / was with th"m tour
out of the five days of thti.' lighting,
and | haven't words with which 10 de-
scribe the way thesr American boys
fought The way hey handled them
selves IS the biggest thing in IurDce.
The Prussan storm troops expected to
come streaming thru the American
lines. but the only way they came thru
swas as prisoners.
'Of course, the Americans had heavy
casualties in the five days fighting, bu.
mans. There's d report, originating
from the Red Cross. that four -hfths #
the Germans were annlhilated.
The brilliant deeds of the American
troops are on motion picture Scale.
People perhaps won't believe what
their boys are doing. One 10y had
his gun shot away. but he picked up
knife and killed a German lieutenant
who tried to make him prisoner
The morals of our men are simply
Incredible TO other nations. If anybody
in this country says our army is de-
bauched or dissipated | am prepared
to say ne is liar: il anybody abroad
says so l am prepared 10 even declare
that he is a you-know wi hat kind OF
liar. The boys are in fine health and
spirits and much better behaved than
ever before.
Il heard one big complaint over
there. The soldiers are getting their
letters. one. two, and three months be-
hind schedule. The way their mail is
being held up IS nothing less than trea-
son. l am willing TO make myself a
nuisance. with any others who wish 10
join me, in demanding that the mail
service 10 our soldiers in France be i'm
proved.
You need new feet to carry choc-
olate TO soldiers in France The boys
are not boozing and so they are need
ing lot of sweets You can't carry
the chocolate and cigarettes over there
fast enough, There is no filling EN-
up"
