that the idea in the League Of Nations
Of "deliberation before war" is taken
from the 80 treaties negotiated by the
United States with three-quarters cf the

while Mr.. Bryan was Secretary Of State
So the idea is not, as some would have

1T DEPENDS.

Seattle (Wash.) Post-Intelligencer.
On more than one occasion we have
called attention to the proper methods
Of the radicals Of North Dakota. who
have gone about altering political and
economic conditions in democratic
manner. One might doubt the wisdom
Of some Of their innovations, but, mas
much as they came through the ballot
box as the expression Of the will of the
people, no alternative was left save DEM
ocratic acquiescence.
The North Dakota legislature, it
seems. has, in common with other bo-
dies of its character, passed certain
laws in conformity with the plans of the
Nonpartlsan League. Some of these
laws are not satisfactory to all the peo-
pie OF North Dakota, and an agitation is
under way for referendum on them.
This suggestion does not meet with the
entire approval of the Nonpartlsan
League. Some of the bills, of an in con-
|sequential nature, they are willing to
have referred to the people, but their
pet economic measures they wish to put
into immediate effect; they dom want
to wait until the psople vote on them,
because, in their nonpa rtisan opinion,
this would be loss of valuable time,
and besides, they are confident that the
people would sustain the legislature
No doubt the Nonpartisan Leaguers
haveno difficulty in reconciling their
obstructionist attitude to their profess
sions of democracy. OF course. under
different circumstances, they would be
perfectly willing that the people shoule
exercise their referendum right, but this
particular time and this particular case
everything Is different; the laws passed
are good laws, and the people would be
foolish to delsy their operation by vot-
ing on them.
One can easily imagine the indigna-
ton of the nonpartlsan partisans if the
situation were reversed and they were
asking for referendum; how they
would call upon the high heaven to wit.
ness the outrage that was being done to
democracy and the electorate of North
Dakota. But that, one can readily see,
would be different case, for the simple
reason that tho leaguers are always
right and their opponents always wrong.
From Biblical days it has been recog-
nized that it depends largely upon
whose OK is gored. Give the oppressed
a chance, as IN the case of Russia, and
they begin depressing with new vigor
and added ingenuities; give the Major
ity Socialists power IN Germany, and
they cut dissenting Socialists throats;
give the Pilgrim fathers religious lib
erty, and they start religious persecu-
tions and witchburnings; give the peo-
Iple-loving Nonpartisan Leagpers of
North Dakota legislative and executive
power, and they are ready to tear ap
the referendum.

1t does not take much smut to cause
a 10 percent loss, and it often runs much
higher. The formaldehyde treatment
will cut out the loss from smut. The
treatment consists in thoroughly wetting
the seed grain with solution made up

40 gallons of water. Wheat at two dol
lars bushei is too expensive to let
smut have part OF the crop, nor can
one afford to run any chances on oats

In Memoriam.

To Raoul Branchaud, friend Of many
years.
To be genial whole.souled man,
With this in velw life's work began,
And as the days went speeding past
To this firm purpose he held fast.
In boyhood years he learned trade,
His hands and mind living made,
OF toillng he was not afraid.
By dint of this, he made the grade.
With passing years his business grew,
His friends we're legion not a few,
And with his kindly pleasant way
His trade increased from day to day.
Then with vision IN his life,
He took unto himself wife,
Alb home sweet home dear ha,lowed
spot.
10 this bis own fair bride he brought.
Sweet cherubs came the home to bless
Their presence caused more happiness,
Oh wondrous boon can mind express
The fullness Of loves fond caress.
Old Father Time he moves along,
He bids US greet each day with song,
But hark, the children's song ls still,
For our dear Daddy he's SO ill.
And now life's sky is clouded DER,
Dear Father, he's with us no more,
He's joined the loved ones gone before
Thare he awaits US on that shore.
And thus our friends pass one by one,
The battles fought, the vlctorys won,
Life's struggle DER earth's race is run,
God help US say Thy will be done.

Commerce Commission Rules on

at Chicago Stock Yards.

state commerce commission today
held that neither the railroads enter
ing Chicago or the Chicago Stock
Yard company could be compelled to
absorb loading or unloading charges
for livestock at that market.
Loading or unloading livestock, the
commissions decision points out is
clearly the shippers duty" The
charges made for this service, there

was determined could not be taken as
reason why similar arrangements
should be compelled at Chicago.

poole told me that there had been
revolution last night.
THE hell you say; who pulled 1t
OFF, l asked him. said Francis, and
Poole replied that Chaplain, a Russian
officer on his staff, had done So"
Francis said that Immediately after
the kidnapping of the Archangel gov
eminent the street men and other
workers in Archangel went on strike
to protest against the counter revolu-
ton. American troops were used to pa
troll streets and some of them to run
street cars.
YANkS EAGER TO FIGHT.
Francis stated the attitude of the
American soldiers in the northern Sec
tion was just like it was on the west
ern front.
They wanted to get into fight
with somebody" he said.
Francis then related how he, as dean
of the diplomatic corps, bad forced the
return to Archangel of the kidnapped
soldiers to suppress rioting. Francis
told the committee he believed Lenine
was a German agent, from the very
beginning.
He said Kerensky made a fatal mis-
take when he did not imprison Lenine
and Trotsky and try them for treason
After the aborative Bolshevik uprising
In July. 1917, had Kerensky done that,
Francis said, the successful Bolshevik
revolution the following November
might not have taken place. 1.-THE Ker-
ensky government tried to prosecute
the war and to keep Russia true to
the allies" He said Kerensky's gov
eminent was manned by able and
patriotic men.
socHES HOLD CONTROL.
There was as much difference be-
tween the Bolsheyiki and the provi-
sional government as there was be-
tween the provisional government and
the Czarist regime" said Francis.
Francis began his statement by tell
ing how completely the Germans had
control of banks. the chemical indus
try, glass making and the sugar BUSH
ness in Russia. He said Germans even
controlled the sale of American prod
ucts. This control of industry and fl
nance was never relinquished after the
war began. Francis said.
IF the war had been postponed
five years." the ambassador declared
Germany would have had such foot
hold in Russia that It would have
been impossible to dislodge her."
Speaking of Lenine and Trotsky
Francis said that the former is great
intellect while Trotsky is an adven-
turer.
"Trotsky has great executive abil-
lty," said Francis. but when he and
Lenine differ Lenine Is able to domi-
nate Trotsky. LeninSe in my belief, is
. man with sincere purpose but Of
