How much patriotism was there in
Hurleys negotiations with foreign
government for the sale of $50 ships
owned by our own government? 1t
can not be defended on the ground
that Hurley has a conscientious OBJ
lection to government ownership.
Would any OF those organized farm
ers or workers whose patriotism has
been so often questioned by those up
stairs, have even stopped to consider
such a deal?

J. H. Sinclair, the Nonpartisau
league congressman finds that the
chief opposition to his bill to aid
farmer drouth victims with seed and

favorably disposed, but two others,
Cannon of Illinois and Slemp of Vir-

Ii the special interests are so much
more efficient than ordinary inter-

have so much special aud from the

&c might ask why it is that the big

special consideration from the gov
eminent than the small mans bust
ness? We expect Wall street papers
to ignore these simple but confusing
questions, for we happen to know
that it would take bigger ads than
the packers run to explain.

The Nonpartisan league farmers
have saved the primary law in two
states-Nebraska and Montana. They
have done it by hard work against
the opposition of intrenched priv
lege in both cases.
Last winter politicians of the two
old parties in these states succeeded
in repeating the primary law so far
as legislative action was concerned
and in returning to the old party
convention vomit. Like the politi-
clans in a number of other states
they were afraid the common people
would capture one Of the parties in
1920. The Montana crowd went SO
far as to provide that candidate
turned down by convention could
not appear again as candidate for
the Office.
But all during the spring and sum-
mer, when pressing farm work was
on, the farmers OF these two states
have been out circulating petitions
against the repeal Success has
crowned their efforts. The copper
interests in Montana, the grain spec
ulators, packers, rack renters and
sundry other profteers in Nebraska
may caucus all they wish before the
primary, but their candidates will
nave to get their nominations from
the voters.

In urging the withdrawal of the
wheat guarantee, Senator Gronna of
North Dakota probably wants the
government to do the fair thing OF
giving the farmer the market price
for wheat. The means ne would use,
however, look foolish from the farm
Ell standpoint.
Why not keep the minimum as a
real minimum? That is, just what
it was supposed to be until the big
fellows began plotting something
otherwise with the apparent help OF
Director Barnes. Let the wheat
market take it's natural course up
ward. II some unexpected event
should occur to force wheat down to
the minimum, then is the time fol
Barnes and the government ma
chinery to start the defense of the
wheat farmer. The present defense
put up by the government is a con-
cealed attack.

New York quotations for British
exchange have recently gone as low
as $4.32, when the part of this ex-
change is $4.86. French and Italian
exchange have gone to lower COM
parative levels.
This break in the mediums with
which Europe pays for supplies
bought here, means great handi-
cap on American sales to Europe.
Europe is less able to pay by great
margin than previously.
English exchange and the others
naturally made a great decline dur
ing the war, because we were send
ing over war materials, and Europe,
busy with war, had little to send back,
but the English pound used to hover
around $4.76. Last spring it got as
low as $4.60. This much could be laid
to the war.
But the present ruinous break can
be laid chiefly to bad policies follow
ing the armistice. We maintained
blockades around most of Europe for
eight months and still maintain them
around Russia and Hungary. Con-
sequently Europe has not been able
to produce goods to swap with US and
so make the world market favorable
for our sales.

A county Judge of Stutsman coun-
ty, n. D., has revealed an interest
ing type of mind. A week or so ago
he remarked as he set out for an IT.
ngated farm which he owns in Tex
as:
Il am leaving for Texas and hope
to regain my health and return to
fight the Socialists of North Dako-
ta"
Socialists" of course, is the plute
nickname for the Nonpartisan league
farmers who have sense enough to
use their state government for COM
mon advantage. Consequently there
is nothing surprising in the above re-
mark
He then explained that his land
was irrigated by a privately owned
irrigation company and that he was
interested in having the government
take hold because the private owners
were showing favoritism and some
owners were not getting their just
share of water.
He is willing to fight to retain the
advantages" of private ownership
of utilities and the grain market for
the North Dakota farmers, but he is
very anxious to escape these same
advantages" when they turn up in
his own back yard.
And the Judge is not inconsistent,
as League opponents GU. Ii the big
fellows were getting the disadvant-
ages monopoly profits instead of the
advantages, they would howl for
government action a long way ahead
of the farmer and workingman.
The National Grocers' association

meat, something over TOO as reported
by government authorities, which the
packers are monopolizing because
they monoIolize the best means of

GRAIN FOR EUROPE.

Herbert C. Hoover, in a survey of the field abroad, has estimated that the European countries, with Russia excepted, will call upon the United States for 70,000,0oo bushels of wheat and rye during the coming year. Europe will raise 1,55o,o 900 bushels, or about v per cent. of her normal crop before the war. z Her consumption is such that she will need at minimum 700, ,oO0,o 900 bushels for import. s5
 It is also figured that there will be in the grain exporting countries a
 maximum of 900, 900, 900 bushels over their needs. The United States, at the present rate of consump ption, should have about 470, 1000, 900 bushels from the 1919 crop to export and
 other exporting countries 100000 o0e bushels as a surplus.
 . At this rate there will be plenty of grain to go around, unless Russia, which has, not been figured upon as | a producer or. consumer, upsets the
 scales in some unforeseen way. It is | scarcely probable that she will pro- duce any great amount of surplus grain, but it is possible that she will demand some from us. The infer ence is, however, that she will take care of herself as far as grain is con- Es w .l V
 cerned, which leaves the situation for l the future very clear. -,. ..~

 June 1919, seems destined to put the vote into the hands of American women-just too late to make it of much effect in the national elections of Novem Der, 1920.
 Why?
 suffrage amendment to the constitu- tion must be ratified by 36 state legis- latures.
 The last biennial session of the ma jority of state legislatures convened in January, 1919, and adjourned a few weeks later-to meet no more until January, 1ts21-o9e month too late to let the ladies in.on choosing the next ' lresident.
 lrf order to ratify xe amendment in time for the 1920 elsctions at least 25 state governors wou1d have to sum- mon the leglSlatuTeS III special SeS- 1sion. SN
 A The chances are that that will not be dohe. Asa result, tile women in the 25 states already enjoying full presiden- tial suffrage as a result of state action, will be the only ones to participate in the next national elections, while tn cir sisters who have just attained the vote by federal amendment-keep on waiting patiently.
 Five states, Louisiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi and Virginia hold legislative sessions in 1920, and 1 might be expected to give ratifying votes-except that they are all part of the "solid south,' the stronghold of anti suffrage sentiment and cannot reasonably be counted nto endorse the am endmet.

THE LOST AVIATOR.

{ After having been missing for near

 Canadian aviator has been given up flor lost Last Thursday he attempted Ito fly from Lee. Mass, to the aviation 5feld at Mineola Since his start no oth- ing has been heard Or seen of him.

 sighting fragment of plane or other

 his proximity to certain districts have been run down and nothing discov-
 cred.
 It is hardly possible that sthe, flyer could have sdeseended in any part of this state or of Massachusetts without

 The outrage itself, as it turned out, was the best thing that could have happened to the country. That it failed in results was lucky. It will have the effect of hastening action on the part of the guardians of law and order if such asthing is possible Com ing close upon the heels of a similar attempt, frustrated again by luck pure and simple, it willsf prove the need of efficient watchfulness over disturbers of any description and the need of adequate legislation to assure the arrest and conviction of any that are even suspected of such A1otting.
