GIVE THE BALLOT IA CHANCE.

The way to promote an activity il to rive it
encouragement rather than Encouragement
Those who pretend to fear the spread Of doc
trines of violence in the United States would do
well to recognize this principle. If they are an
xious that the people should cling to- belief in
reform by the ballot, they should do what they
can to make that road easy.
The plain fact, however, is that the special
interests, and their press are doing all that
they can to shake the traditional American be-
lief in the ballot. And the PRETENDED propaganda
against violent measures is directed chiefly
against reform-by-the-ballot organizations. Just
at present reform by the ballot is the hated
method because it is a near danger to the in
terests; whereas reform by violence is neces-
sarily far off:
Surely the experience which Minnesota farm
ers, for instance, have had with attempts to re-
form by the ballot do not strengthen their faith.
A legitimate farmers organization was met
with the vilest Misrepresentation, threats to
body and business, and mob violence. In Butte,
Mont, a labor man is shamelessly counted out
by corrupt election officials. In Pennsylvania
a peaceful labor meeting is raided and Of the
hundred men arrested for "held for further ex-
animation" which is a means to publicly justi-
fy the raid until the public has forgotten about
it.
The use of force in these high-handed, un-
constitutional ways will add converts to those
who declare political action to be vain. The be-
lief in reform by violence can not gain cuIren-
cy so long as political means are open, but our
politicians and special interests will stir up con-
verts if they continue using the undesirable
method for their w purposes. h world
knows Of no instance of violent reform chat was
not preceded by a long period of vicious auto
cracy. .

THAT PRINTING BILL

Kept newspapers continue their assault on the
printing bill. With sublime effrontery they per-
sist in describing it as an attempt to subsidize
the press of North Dakota in~the interest Of the
Nonpartisan League, and to kill off the so-called
independent press.
It is the hope Of the kept press that enough
voters will take their word for the iniquity of
the bill to defeat it. That assumes that people
will not read the bill. Every voter should do
so. No one ought to vote on a single measure on
July 8 without having read it through.
The printing bill it not at all what it is de-
scribed in the kept press as being. It is a bill
that concentrates all official printing in each
county in one newspaper, which both makes the
official printing in each county in one newspa-
per, which both makes the official printing
easily accessible to everyone, and saves the cost
of the publication now required in three newspa-
pers in each county. &
Moreover, the bill aims to make the newspa-
pers responsible to the people, no to politicians.
Now the official newspapers are appointed by
the county commissioners therefore they tend
to come under the control of the politicians in
each county. Under the new bill the official
newspaper is to be elected by the voters in each
county. It will therefore be to the interest of
every editor, not to please the politicians, but
the people. !" ~
And that last requirement, it might be noted,
is the reason why the kept press fights the bill
so v~iciously. It's master, big business, is against
every extension of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS News.

WHY NOT LET THE BANKS DO IT

We are always looking around for George.
About the first question asked in the matter
of the Victory Loan is, "Why not let the banks
do it,.
Secretary Glass has told us why in a nutshell.
"The debt of America should be held by the
American people and not concentrated in the
banks. Not only because by such countrywide
distribution can the banks be kept in liquid con-
dition to meet the demands of trade, but because
only by such distribution can the war debt be
paid out of the savings of the country instead
of by additional borrowing.
1.-The American business man looks to the
banks for the necessary credit to enable him to
conduct his business, to restock his depleted
shelves, to start his plants manufacturing. What
would be the attitude of his bank towards a re-
quest for credit if it were compelled to absorb a
huge amount of government securities?
So that this Victory Loan is not only a loan
for war but a loan for a quick return of good
business conditions. It will leave the banks and
business in fine shape to carry on.
This is the last cloud to be cleared away.
One other objection is made to the Loan. 1t
is this, 1T is going to be hard to sell Victory
Bonds now that the stimulus of war is over"
It is going to be hard. All tn more reason why
the real American citizen should get his should
er under the load and push his financial bit.
War patriotism is easier than peace patriotism.
There will be cutters. And something will have
to be added to our shares. to make up to make
up for these cutters.
We believe that there is patriotism and COM
mon sense enough left to make this not the
hardest but the easiest loan of all to place. Think
of it. You are not paying to get the boys across
to be killed or wounded, but to get them back
to their homes and to their natural work.
One last objection to this loan or to any loan
is that "You can't get blood out of a hard-boiled
egg.' There are the hard-boiled in every COM
munity. Granted. Do you wish to be enrolled in

final drive against the horrors of war and the
possibility of the rule of Over-Lords on this free
earth?
Don't wait for somebody else to crack your
shell. Pick it yourself.
Don't be the community hard-boiled egg.

THE EASIER WAY.

One of the newspapers of the Twin Cities en-
tiers into the interesting speculation that if the
present war made 1900 millionaires, it would
take 5000 wars to make every one a millionaire.
Or, with practice, the people might become SO
efficient in profteering as to make only $500
to 5000 wars necessary.
With the present methods of national econ
omy, this calculation shows about what pros
poets the common people have of improving
their conditions of living, If we must run
things on, a profiteering basis, success lies in the
direction of profteeIing.
But an increasing number of our people are
getting a much different kline Of vision. They
see the prospect of a new era built upon the
gospel of service rather than profits, and Of the
profteering accunulations gradually taken by
inheritance and income taxes to build up gen
eral social services. Instead of dog eat dog
they see an orderly world where farmer and
workingman receive the full value Of their la
Dor, and the young, the old, the unfortunate are
protected by society rather than preyed upon
by seekers.
# enough Of the people put their shoulders
to the task this vision can become a reality
with less effort than it would take to fight an
other foreign war-not to menion the theoreti-
cal number it would take to make them million
aires.

partisan league credit for some more good work.

The food administration has acknowledged it's
error in prosecuting the farmers and the Red
Cross will return the unjust fines. The Tribune
declares the farmers would have been content
under the injustice If it hadn't been for Town
leyism." Here we rise to ask whether the Tri-
bune and its hackers aren't careless in leaving
SO much that is worth while for the terrible
League organization to do?

TOWN OR COMMUNITY

There is a great difference between town and
community. We can tell whether a man is think
ing in terms of the past or the present by
whether he uses the first or the second. The
town is a political unit marked out for conven-
fence in political administration and has no other
justification. The community is a business and
living unit.
The man who thinks in the past regards the
town as something distinct in itself and indie
pendent of surrounding territory. The man of
the present knows that the town, so-called, is
only a part Of a larger productive urit. He re-
Allies that surrounding farm territory is to the
town what factories are to the city, and that
his whole production unit or community must
cooperate to achieve desirable results.
But he goes further. He realizes that the
farming or primary production is the chief fac
tor in community growth and that the town
business is logically service to this primary
production. Prosperous farming builds pros
porous towns; towns built at the expense of the
farming do not build very much.
Unfortunately for community development
many of our towns have been dominated by men
of the old ideas, by men who secured their
private gain by bleeding the farmers rather
than by service, and by men who owed allegiance
to interests outside of the community. It has
been necessary for our farmers to wage a bit
ter fight against men of this kind. We are now
in the midst Of the struggle in the Northwest
and perhaps the trees are too thick to enable
us to see the forest. But the present struggle
will quickly pass.
In it's place will come a new vision of com1pun-
ity life in which farmers will find friends rath-
er than business foes in the townsfolk and in
which prosperous farming will build up the bet
der town. The towns will purge themselves of
the anti-community interests.
Yes Bottineau County probably is the banner
League county of North Dakota, credit for
which is partly due the Farmers Advocate, the
leading /. v. A. mouthpiece of Bottineau County
for the matter they use in an effort to convert
the truth about the Nonpartisan League into
lies. AS for the Courant citing IAN anonymous
man to .indorse McConnell's talk" we simply
hold his name in reserve as the Advocate does
their list of stockholders.
That a mere work means nothing in itself is
well illustrated by the message which Luden-
dorff recently sent to President Ebert declaring
that he is still willing to serve the German peo-
