FOUNDATIONS OF A RUBE"

u r@. - -
The 1. v. AS. found that they could
not, with their shave tailed Johnnies'
and student barber support, tell the
farmers of North Dakota what should
be their government. We rope that
some Of the local gentry will E..te this
and guide themselves accordingly.
Eidsvold townships ex-assessor
statesman, Ed. Berg, apears to be
afraid to back up his I. v. A. stand
when called up for a showdown. It
seems Ed. attended the meeting in
Aanda recently at which Commission
e. Hagan was the u eaker. Mr.. Ha-
gaa stated what the Increase in taxes
would amount to. After the meeting
it seems Ed mentioned a desire to
bet that the statement was not true.
Some of the gentlemen who attended
the meeting accompanied the ex-asses-
sor and informed Mr.. Hagan concern
ing the local statesman's desire. Mr..
Hagan Immediately told Ed. to place
any amount he wished to in the bank
and that he would cover it. However
Ed. had APPARENTLY changed his mind
and cared not for a bet. Now we are
wondering if the ex-assessor states
man really voted "yes' seven times.
We expect that dependent" Mats
so-called Independent will, if any more
are issued, which is doubtful, be sur

The fact that Uncle Sam cleared
$17,000,0 900 during the past year on
the mail business does not appear to
be of as much interest to our dear
kept press" as the fact that some
money was lost IN the railroads. The
$17,000,000 clearance proves that gov
eminent ownership can be and is a
success.
The sum Of $178, 900 was spent in
electing Senator Newberry of Mich
igan last fall. Henry Ford was the
opposition candidate. Where are those
papers, operated by such specimen as
the one acros the street who are SO
ALFRED worried about the farmers
sixteen dollars, why don't those dirty
little sheets mention something about
this? When the Interests" will
spend $178,000 to place a multi-mil-
lionaire in the senate can the farm
ers be blamed for spending $1,000 ev-
cry two years to clean up the political
gangs? And considering the spend
ing of that $4,000 and why it was
spent leads one to believe that it is
high time for a cleanup.
"Years and years ago al English
writer said: "Nothing a be propos-
ed so wild or so absurd. as not to find
a party, and often a very large par
ty to espouse it."-1ndependent. Quite
right, Matt, your I. V. A. gang did Sc
cure quite a following but you found
last Thursday that you were on a wild
goose chase alright.
We expected to find our country
overlooking with the much newspaper
heralded democracy when we returned
but about the only things we found
were overlooking were the high pric-
es set by the proiteers.

n case OF FIume, which am up
at the peace conference, gave the
people ar opportunity to see how the
scheming diplomats Of Europe work
the game. 1t also gave the reople an
opportunity to see what great staes-
men said diplomats are and how they
love democracy. The country Of Italy
was supposed to have entered the war
for the sake Of democracy. When the
United States entered. it was with a
declaration of democracy. Altho Italy
had the secret treaty Of London, in
volving Fiume, nothing was said con-
corning it and the United States was
led to believe that our declaration Of
democracy vas the foundation of the
principles for which the war was be-
ing fought. At the peace conference
Italy attempted to grab Fiume in &C.
cordance Of her agreement with Eng
land President Wilson, the only pro-
gressive in the "Big -Four" denied
them the right to Fiume. Italy threat
ened to withdraw from the confer
ence, still Ere ), lent Wilson stood his
ground. Italy claimed that if she did
not receive Fiume she would lose what
she had been fighting for, and we had
been led to believe all the time that
she was fighting for democracy. The
Italian statesmen declared that their
people would not stand for the loss
of Fiume because they had see fight
ing for it. Still the treaty Of London
was a secret treaty so how did the
Italian people know that they were
to receive Fiume? Certainly the
United States would have known
something about the treaty had the
people of Italy known about it. Con-
sequently the declaration of the Ital-
ian statesmen appears rather shady
indeed. And why didn't the Italians
or English inform the United States
concerning that treaty which was d.
rectly opposed to the declared prin-
ciples of the United States? Person
ally the writer has never had any
sympathy for the Germans since the
Hun hordes swooped down upon in
nocent Belgium in 1914 but we do
think that there are other countries
in Europe that need a lesson and it
would have given us great joy to have
remained in Europe and helped admin
lister said lesson although we did long
for home and an early return.
We are very glad that old John Bar
leyco1n was required to throw up the
ghost on July 1. One less enemy for
the champions Of democracy to have
to battle with.
At last ofice-seeker Jake Gorder,
of the I. V. A. band, has almost come
into his OWL. Reports have it that
at the recent meeting of telephone
stockholders he actually received three
votes, possibly including his own, in
the election of officers. We, with his
friends, regret that he is getting along
in years for if he al a young man
should receive support it is possible
that he might land something some
day.
The charges which the I. V. A.
speaker is reported to have made in
his speech (?) in Bottineau recently
that the Nonpartisans were connect
ed with the anarchists, Bolsheviks and
bomb throwers of the east are abso-
lutely false and uncalled for. The
bomb throwers and anarchists are be-
levers in violence and are in the class
