LEAGUE ORGANIZING AT
UNPRECEDENTED RATE -
The League is organizing at rate never thought
possible before During the war, with the bulk of
the organizers called to army service and others
producing food to help their country, organization
work went slowly. But things have changed.
Old organizers have come back and they have
brought with them-discharged soldiers,
in many nstances-who are bringing the measure
of the League to the men on the farms. New men,
bers are joining in increasing numbers every day.
Several weeks, during the summer, the League has
smashed previous enrolment records, and there
will be weeks later, after the crop harvest has
been completed, that will make previous record
breaking weeks look small in comparison.
The apple growers Of the Yakima valley and
the dairymen of the northwest coast thus far have
furnished the bulk of the League membership. Some

When I crossed the Idaho sta
in, Washington recently I be-
gan to hear talk about two
things-the Nonpartisan league
and the triple alliance. I knew
something about what the
League was doing, but the
triple alliance was another
matter. I pricked up my ears
and listened.
It seemed, from the talk on
the train, that the triple alli-
ance consisted of the State
Federation Of Labor, which in
cludes most of the labor unions
of the state, the railroad
brotherhoods, which include all
the railroad workmen not af-
filiated with the state feder-
alton, and the state Grange,
an extremely powerful organi-
zation in Washington and al
together fri endly to the
League, as was shown by the
recent reelection of State
Master William Bouck, a strong
League booster, by a tremen-
dous majority.
From what I heard on the
train this did not particularly
impress me. I remembered an
other triple alliance, organized
in Washington in 1911, between
the Grange, the Farmers union
and the labor men. At least, it
was an organization of the
leaders Of these organizations,
all Of whom were far-seeing
enough to realize that some
thing must be done to bring
control of the government back
to the people. But when all

along came Peter the Hermit and the
Crusaders. The second coming of
Christ had been forecast for the year
1000. The passing of that year with
out any catastrophe awakened an era
of Christian piety that held the world
safe through the year 1893, the anni-

Peter the Hermit prevailed upon
Pope Urban II to sanction the first

ture. for Jerusalem was captured July
