COMING OF THE NoN-PARTIsAN LEAGUE

good many of the newspapers OF the state seem to be
worrying about the coming Of the nonpartisan league
they profess believe that the organization disoya
and altogether harmful in its precepts and practices
We do not know very much about the organization eX-
cept what has appeared in the newspapers and that IS
very contradictory We do feel however, that the whole
matter may be left safely with the farmers themselves,
among whom we understand the principal campaign for
members will be made Not many Of them going to
be fooled by harmful, dsoyal movement. They are as
a class well posted better perhaps than the average
resident of town. because they read the papers more
thoroughly They think and act as rule with good
judgment
If they see in the movement an opportunity to better
their own conditions in a legitimate way they are likely
to take advantage of it---and why not?
If it is merely political scheme of shreWd politicians
and schemers for personal advantage the farmer of this
day and age going to be pretty hard to fool He wants
what he is Justly entitled to in the way OF state and ma
tona legislation and has much right to organize TO
get as the working the business interests. He
IS oya to the country because the farmers really the
foundation of our national wealth and prosperity Why
should he have any desire to become party to move
ment designed to destroy the government?
The non-partisan league has up to the present time
been mainly organization of farmers and it will con-
tnue to grow ft merits support, it will go down to
oblivion because is unworthy to exist The farmers Of
the country may be depended upon to take care of it.
We notice that odine politicians and standpat news

New York yards Denuded.

New York, Feb. 16.-As fast as the
men can be called from their work by
agents of the Marine Woodworkers I'm
ion, shipyards in the district of The
Port of New York are being denuded
of their woodworkers.
Forty shipyards had been visited at
10 O'Clock this morning, according to
John Staurt, secretary of the union, and
between 5000 and 1000 men had laid
down their tools.
The men, according to Stuart, ask
only that the government give consid-
Grafton to demands made some time ago.
These have been ignored so long, they
declare, that the only way to get action
is to strike. Stuart expressed the belief
that whenever the government indi-
Gates its readiness to consider these de-
mands the men will return to their work
There are about seventy shipyards of
all sizes in this district. All are work.
ing on government contracts. This strike
ties up work on many ships.
A hope that a patriotic plea to the
men by Chairman Hurley of the ship
ping board would save the situation and
stave off action failed today apparently
when the woodworkers walked out. Pres
ident Hutchinson of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners, in the
city, received telegram from Hurley
asking delay, but was aae2se 10 act.
