LEAGUE STORES
CONTINUED. from Psra !

about a cooperative store, I was
ready to listen.sHestold us how much.
cheaper we could buy everything we
.needed-shoes, dresses, groceries,
drygoods, farm machinery ana impls-
ments-and how much more we could
get for our butter and eggs and other
farm products. He said the store
would sell us everything We needed at
q low price and buy everything we
produced at a high price, I thought.
Well. II this is so, 1t won't be long
before I'll have. my hundred back.
80 l went In, and persuaded some Of
my netghbors to go in. I never heard
such q ~fine-talking fellow I've lis
tened to. good preachers that were
not 50 good as he was. II
They got 800 farmers to put up
500 apiece. We thought they were
going to build US as,$ane store building
and knew that II, they put in all the
things they said they were going to
carry, they would need the money.
So we. 400 Of US. subscribed a hum
dred dollars apiece, and then we be-
we were going to get, andSthe money
we would save. That was iast9August.
and we're still waiting, but we're moi
feeling good any more. 81 =
The Scherr Incident.
II know Mike Scherr. Isknew him
In the old country, in old strasburg,
when we were both boys. He has
been working for the league and be-
ing paid for it, I think. He came up
to Bismarck to investigate because
men whom he had talked into buying
store certificates were getting mad.
When he. came back there was a
meeting. and we were told that we
would nav a store by the middle Of
April. I didn't see. what Mike Scherr
said in The Courier-News. but I was
at The store meeting. in Strasburg and
I didn't hear any resolutions read
about anybody being a liar like I un-
derstand Mike Scherr has said. When
the people heard from Mike Scherr
what he learned when he was in Bis
marck somebody said in a Joke they
ought to taxi him out and hang him.
1t was just a joke, but some of the
people felt pretty much that way
about it. 49,
II am not worrying any longer
about my 800. The Consumers peo-
pie ma put in a store at Strasburg
as they have promised. But we have
seen one Of their stores, at Hazelton.
All we could aRd, was canned goods
and bananas-long rows Of shelves
filed with canned goods, and a long
row of bananas hanging down the
middle. Now we can buy canned goods
and bananas at the stores we have
been ~patronizing. There's no reason
why while we're buying our shoes and
dry goods and hardware and imple-
ments we shouldn't buy our canned
goods and bananas at the. same place.
We're not going over. to the company

you have also read and heard a
great deal during the past three years
about Big Business. What is Big

which they generally have succeeded
in buying. And Of course they are
working for an association incorpor-
ated under the laws Of this state
which permits them to sell stock.
They will buy some printing plant at
preferred stock to the farmers at so
much e share. OF course they
promise the farmers seven per cent
interest on their investment. If the
business is good. and all profits over
even per cent go to the common
stock, which they generally hold
themselves. Now. these promoters
draft a bill, which is known as SEN
ate Bill 157. This bill ~ introduced
in the legislature. There was consid-
cradle opposition, but they had them
scared by threatening them with poll
teal ruin. one after another, unless
they supported this bill. The bill was
finally passed, and it now stands on
our statute books. and unless repealed
it will monopolize ne wspaper business
in the state. and it will be n of the
biggest businesses in the state, sup
ported by the laws of our state.'
The state auditor discussed one by
one the other bills which he is OPP
posing, and he gave his hearers a
clearer insight than they had before
possessed into the Objectionable fea-
lures of these measures. He said the
100000 immigration fund would
have been better devoted to assisting
people' in drouth stricken regions to
remain in the state than to the pay
ment Of fancy salaries and fancy
stipends for printing in the monopoly
newspapers. He opposed the redis-
tricting bill adding three judges as
unnecessary. and declared the work
now handled by IL judges could be
done by 10. while the league is in
the number tt Is.

ment he might undertake in louisiana ut is idle to
suggest such thing. He had already led vctori-
the editorial mind of The Daily States at that time why
he should not do the asme thing again.
The States then reiterates the necessity of making
the Progressves feel ABSOLUTELY AT HOME in the
DEMOCRATIC fold for it renews it's wish to put Mr..
Parker in the Democratic cabinet.
The last paragraph applies with special power to the
PRESENT situation. 1t says outright and unreserved
ly that it will welcome Mr. Parker back to Democracy
."Welcome is warm word, It means a great dea!.
But even So The Daily States left no doubt of its mind
If MI. PARKER wanted to RUN for any office in
DEMOCRATIC primary, The States should mot be tho
voice to SAY HIM NAY" the of anything that
had gone before.
Democracy NEEDED men like MR.. PARKER, and
mo effort should be spared to attach them to it, If he
ever contested with it in future The States lke good
and loyal Democrat would CONGRATULATE HIM
on the FRUITS"
It is needless to point that this sound and sensible
political advice and personal description then printed
by The States is widely at variance with the queer vup
Grafton now heaped by most of the City Machines
campagners on Mr. Parker himself and the wild, obso
lete and discredited of quaint political part
sanship that would OSTRACISE h i'm. Partisanship
such as this as The States ably points out must
any party that practices it. It is plainly patisanshp
which would preserve the eshpots for few Of its PEI,
at the cost of corrodng and berayng the whole
ganizaton to the Republicans.
The States advice brief time ago is so sound IL
The Item presents it for the benefit of any who f y
it's philosophy convincing. 1t cannot be too widely Gil
culated for it is good advice.
It is Just true now as year before last Its publ
cation can do more good now than then.-The Item.
