san principles, who would advocate

But "by their fruits you shall know
them" and Non-Partisan principles have
been in control of North Dakota for
some time. What is the result? They
have established a state bank Does
that confiscate or forbid private or cor
porate banking? No, but it establishes
better credit and lower rates of in
terest. They have established an in
dustrial commission which aids the
laborer and former to build homes and
buy farms. They have established
state insurance. Does that drive out or
confiscate corporate insurance? No, but
it makes them tote fair. They have
established state mills. Does that pro-
hibit corporate or private mills? No,
but it makes them grind fine. They
are establishing state elevators. Does
that prevent the Minneapolis MilIers
Association from buying North Dakota
grains? No, but it will make them give
fair weight, grade, dockage and prices.
That is Non-Partisan socialism in
North Dakota. Have they made some

The Torch

Through many Aforementioned night,
Through blood and agonies and tears.
Gods torch of morning-christened light
Is handed through the unbeaten years.
From heart to heart, from age to age
Held clean DER mists of hates and wars
Men guard it as a heritage
That lights all pilgrims to the stars.
Enough, if in the press of things,
Assailed and buffeted by Fate,
To one great dream our patience clings
For one great task our hearts can wait:
That we may hand to other men
Undimmed, unfaded, unobscured,
This torch to thrill mans hope again
With all the dreams we have endured:
That as we fall upon the night,
Our closing eyes shall leap to see
New warriors clasp the torch of light,
And march toward Eternity.

mistakes? Probably, so does the church
and so do the old parties Do they try
to rectify mistakes? Yes, to be infalibIe
is to be divine. -Non-Partisan socialism
is nothing more or less than the cooper
alton of the peoples of a state or nation
in establishing remedial competition
with such industrial corporations as
have become monopolistic, profiteering
and overbearing.
To impute communism to Non-Partf-
sanism is vile Islander invented by
the prof1teers who fear to lose their
death grip on the much abused public.
To intimate that several hundred thous-
and farmers could be fooled into COM
munism by few organizers or so-caIled
leaders is an insult to the intelligence
of American husbandry.

Non-Partisan Socialism once More

Non-Partisan Socialism Once More
Mr.. Editor
want to thank you for the demo-
cratic spirit and fair-mindedness which
you show in allowing your contingent
of Non-Partisan readers the use of your
columns for the expression of their
views Your article on socialism in last
weeks issue is in the main correct but
you make a few far fetched applica-
tons to the leaders and the principles
of Non-Partyism. That the farmers
want nothing of radical socialism, or
communism as practiced now in Russia
and advocated by many, is true. To
apply that sort of socialism or COM
munism to Non-Partisan principles is
absolutely misleading and false. I de-
fly any and all maligners of Non-Parti-
sanism to produce one hundred farmers
out of the one hunderd thousand farmers
of Minnesota who believe in Non-Parti-

Chicago, jan. An experiment in

Accordingly the stage was set m the
