that all state banks in the United
States have proven failures. The
Bank of Indiana was put out of bust
ness by the National Bank Act, and
not on account of it's unsuccessful
career, but it is too long an argument
to go into the history of state banks
in this connection. Suffice it to say
that there is no foundation in fact for
the statement as quoted above made
in the Tribune. .
A healthier condition exists through
out the banks in North Dakota at the
present time, taking the state as a
unit, than could possibly have existed
had the Bank of North Dakota not
been organized. While in some coun-
ties, in which there were fairly good
crops last fall, there is less public
funds on deposit than there would
have been had the Bank of North Da-
kota not been organized nevertheless,
in many counties, particularly in the
western portion of the state where the
crop failure was severe and serious,
an immense relief has been afforded,
not only through the placing Of addi-
tional funds in those counties beyond
the amount belonging to such public
corporations in such counties, but also
at an uniform amount, avoiding fluc-
tuations of balances and sustaining
the credit of the banks.

movement In the interest Of existing
conditions. What Is the matter with q,
church that Is so afraid of facts that
it truckles to %falsehOOd? To say the
least, our times call for experiments,
new ventures in the social and eco
nOmic sphere. .
The very least the church should do
would be to welcome such opportunities
for the vision Of the day to express
itself. If the church of Christ will
have enough honesty to investigate 1t
will see in the experiment in North
Dakota as much vision and statesman
ship enshrined in the remarkable series
Of laws which have already been
passed as anywhere in America and
which perhaps will, in coming years,
show America the way out Of the pres
ent system of i%ndividualism which is
running agriculture and filling the
heart of a noble people with unrest.
In spite Of tremendous opposition
and personal differences, such as be-
long to every party under the sun, we
may we'll pray that the Nonpartisan
league will keep it's eyes steadfastly
on the goal of economic Justice it has
set itself, to be swayed neither to tho
right nor the left until it has demon
strated that cooperation Is the very
breath of life.

ing Way to Cooperation and
Economic Justice.
BY The Rev. +. Harrison,
Elk Horn, Wis.

Ever since time was, progress has
had to pay a terrific price for it's exis-
tence. All the powers that be find it
so easy to take the line Of least resis-
lance and to worship the God Of things
as they are. In this regard the church
has been neither better nor worse than
any other agencies. 1t has gone with
the swim.
Lies great truths are always first
cSst out as heresies. But what a blast
ing indictment that the one institution
dedicated to truth should lose it's royal
commission! Facts have not alternat-
ed, the times have, and today the great
testing place of the loyalty Of the
church to it's master is not the realm
of theological speculation but the
world of economic reality.
The foundation of all freedom is eco
monte. If men are no free economic
ally, they are not free at all. We can
preach about a thousand things hut
if we do not seek to make just that
part of life where men obtain their
bread and butter, then is our preaching
vain and the faith of the church is
vain. A man can say just about what
he wishes theol0gically today and no.
body but a few dunder heads will
trouble at all about it. But let him
speak fearlessly about economics and
a thousand foes will spring at once
TO the defense Of existing conditions.
Men who are afraid of martyrdOm had
better stay out of this fight. The next
century will provide a dual test of
religion. Can it work it's gospel into a
great brotherhood of nations? And
can it take it's gospel and compel the
race to lay it at the foundation of the
economic order? If it fails here it de-
serves to stand discredited ~forever.
Church Was Negligible
What are the facts of yesterday?
The committee appointed by the
Church of England to investigate the
gospel Of Christ in relation to indus
trial problems says: I'm the fifty
years which laid the foundation of
modern England the influences of the
church as a witness to social right

Any honest man knowing the cOndi-
tons Of those fifty years bushes for
shame at the terrible truth of those
words.
The report of the National Service
Medical Board issued by the British
government shows that Of 2,425,1 1874

SOCIALISTS Defeated
Emil FIatter Elected Over Herman Marth
by d Decisive Vote; Ia Toilette
Delegates Run Ahead in the
County and State

The campaign which ended in Wau-
sau on Monday night reached boil
ing point the last few days before
election. The nOn-partisan ticket
headed by Emil Flatter was popular
from the outset and seemed to be the
choice of the people. The socialists,
headed by Herman Marth held meet
ings in the various wards of the city.
The nOn-partisans were at work every
minute and allowed no opportunity to
slip by where they could slip it over
on the socialists. They issued circu-
lars on Saturday which severely crit
icised the work of certain socialists
To cOunteract this, the socialists hired
the opera house for Monday evening
and it was passed around that Berger
of Milwaukee would be here to ad
dress the meeting. 1t was learned that
Berger would not be here but another
talker Of the Milwaukee crowd was
sent up.
The non-partisans filled the opera
house as soon as the doors were
opened and the socialists were on the
outside where they were addressed by
Emil F'latter II the campaign COM
mittee had been started in this fash
ion a couple of weeks earlier it would
have proven equal to the old time city
campaigns when the boys from the
woods came down by the hundreds
and turned the old town upside down.
AS it was it was sufficiently hot
enough the last three days of the cam
paign and the result was a great vic
tory for the nOn-partisans.
The socialists succeeded in electing
the alderman and supervisors in the
sixth and eigth wards, in all the rest
they lost.

for comptroller; Roy Chellis for
treasurer; George Steltz for asses
