BOLSHEVISM A MENACE TO ALL
OF ETROPE.

The sudden signing of the armistice
caused shock that may tOpple over
existing form of government and So
ciaI conditions, not alone in Central and
Eastern Europe, but also in France
and England. The labor unions in
Great Britain are becoming bolder
and more dominant every day. They
are already debating many of the
policies of that country.
Lack employment and hunger dc
much to undermine governmental con-
troll and create discomfort and revolu-
ton.
Clemenceau and Lloyd George are
now confronted by social problems
and unrest, on the part of the masses
in Western Europe, which call for
craftsmanship of the highest order
President Wilson believes that food is
the best medicine to prescribe, and
this country has generously placed at
his finger ends $100,0O0,O00 to buy
food for the hungry in the war strick-
en- lands. That should help to pre-
vent the spread of Bolshivism.

North Dakota business men a

North Dakota business men are be-
ginning to realize that they are in the
grip of a farmer socialism that threat
ems to swamp them. The non-parti-
san league has the Legislature, and 1t
proposes to bond the state to a limit
which will be raised out of sight for
cooperative concerns of all kinds, or
those akin to them, with the indebted
ness therefor placed upon those who
will not profit thereby. 1t is an ag-
ricultural movement worked under
the assumption that those of every
other occupation are enemies OF the
farmer, without a business right wor-
thy of respect. 1t has gotten to the
point where foreign capitol is afraid
of North Dakota, and therefore mort
gage companies with headquarters
outside of the state may be expected
to quietly withdraw their investments
as they mature. Kansas went through
such an experiment once, when popu-
lism was rife, and it staggered under
the blows it inflicted upon itself, for
decade. The radicals in Iowa, who
want class rule here had best bide q
wee, and watch for the ultimate re-
suits in North Dakota. The state is
on the road to give its socialist exper-
iment trial to the limit. Monticello

it can be obtained in MEN-THO-EZE.
In addition to goose grease and
turpentine, there have been added

THE PRIORITY RULE

Clifford Pinchot has written an
open letter to Senator Penrose urging
that in the interest of the Republican
party he withdraw as an aspirant for
the craftsmanship of the Senate
Finance Committee. In his letter Mr.
Pinchet says to Mr.. Penrose: The
Middle West knows you mainly as the
most perfect living representative OF
the worst type of politics in America
Indeed, am inclined to think that II
is fair to say that no other man IN
our history has ever represented to SO
many Americans all that is worst in
American public life"
Mr.. Pinchot was Roosevelt's CHIEF
lieutenant, and is probably the best
living representative of Roosevelt's
policies. All that he says about SEN
ator Penrose is probably true. We
known that the Senator is recognized
representative Of predatory wealth
and the liquor interests. Yet the
chances are ten to one that he will be
chairman of the Senate Finance Com
m1Ltee dS SOOu dS LHc uoPuUAASdAo &c
organize that body.
That priority or Seniority rule is one
of the worst features Of the legisla-
tive branch of our government. In
many instances 1t places at the head
of important committees men who
misrepresent their. party and their
country. = DEL -.
An adherence to that rule did more
to handicap President Wilson'S Sad-
ministration than all else combined
Had it not been for the loyal support
OF the republican minority in congress
the Presidents program could not
have survived the opposition of some
Democratic chairmen who were op-
posed to many of the Presidents pol
icies.
The Republican success at the last
congressional elections was largely
duesto the fact that the priority rule
placed unfit democrats at the head OF
important committees.

Fixing the Primary Laws

A general assault on the primary
election laws was begun Thursday
when three bills by Senator Kimball
were reported out Of the elections
committee. One was to cut off the
names of presidential electors from
the ballot, and to permit the print
ing of the presidential candidates
names at the head of the tickets, and
another to make the nominations of
all state candidates below that of lieu
tenant governor at the state conven-
tons of the parties. Another bill is
designed to place the circle back on
the ballot. 1t seems to be the gener-
al sentiment that such bills may pass
and become the law, as both the Re-
publican and Democratic conventions
last year adopted resolutions favoring
change in the primary laws.
But another bill, offered by Sena-
tor Price, seeks to repeal the nom
partisan judicial primary law entire
ly and provides for county and dis
trict convention plan of nominating
all judges for district superior and
state supreme courts.
A joint committee meeting of the
two houses and hearing on this bill
was held Wednesday last, when sew
eral of the supreme court judges
spoke on the proposition, all favoring
the retention of the non-partisan ju-
dietary rather than going back to the
convention plan proposed. 1t may be
said with confidence that Senator
Prices bill will not be passed. One
who has sounded the sentiment of the
Senate says that a majority are

SENATOR KENYON'S EMPLOY.
MENT BILL.

Senator Kenyon's bill to guard
against the dangers of unemployment,
has, at the present time, place in the
spotlight of Federal legislation. The
bill provides for an emergency fund
of $1OO00O,000 to be used on public
works already authorized by con-
gress; and it also authorizes the War
Finance Corporation to loan not to
exceed $500, 100000, to states, counties
and municipalities for public work for
a period of not to exceed ten years
at per cent interest.
The object of this legislation is to
provide stop gap for the employment
Of labor until the industries of the
country can be readjusted and placed
on normal peace time conditions.
Last Saturday Senator Kenyon had
this to say about his bill:
"The principal objection to the
bill seems to be that it is an eff
fort to keep up present high wages
in certain industries. Such is
not the intention. The question
involved are:
Il Is there a labor shortage?
IF there is, how shall we meet
it?
my bill is intended as a sort OF
reservoir for surplus labor. II
there is private employment then
there need be no use of the power
under this bill. so it is sort OF
insurance policy against unem-
ployment Unemployment is in
creasing. l am not an alarmist.
Unemployment on large scale
will mean trouble 1t is our duty
to try at least to meet the situa-
ton in a frank and sane way"
