Grange Will Fight No Organization

Grange Will Fight No Organization
Under date Of April a, wrote Ma.
tional Master, S. j. Lowell, Fredonia
N. Y, calling his attention to an ar,
ticle in the Nonpartisan Leader Of
date, March %, 1920 in which the
Leader misstated. the Oranges posi-.
ton toward all political parties.
N.Y. attitude as referred to in Mr.
Lowelps letter was expressed in the
following language, viz:
my plan to maintain as good feel
ing as possible and keep out politics
is by prescribing three rules for Gran
gers to follow and they are,
M-Within the Grange no member
will be allowed to endorse or speak
for any political party or faction or
candidate.
"2-Within the Grange no member
will be allowed to oppose or condemn
any political party or faction or can
didate for office.
"3-Thc Grange will not interfere
with any members right OUTSIDE of
the Grange to applaud the merits or
condemn the dement's of any political
party or faction or candidate for Of
fice.''
Mr.. Lowell's reply under date of
April IL, is viz:
II am in receipt of your communi-
cation of 4 inst, and note the same,
II am somewhat surprised at the
action Of the Nonpartisan League, for
so far as l know, there has never
been any action in the Grange to
fight any organization, and so far as
l know, there has never been any ac-
ton, and SO far as l am concern
ed, ! shall condemn any such action
in the strongest terms.
i The Grange is purely Fraternal
order and religious and political sub
jects should be tabooed at all times.
"You may say to anyone that may
inquire that there is no truth in any
statement made that we are ont to
fight any organization.
Your attitude in regard to the
Grange is absolutely correct and one
chat every Grange member can en-
dorse.
Kindly give me the exact date of
your Grange and if it is possible for
me to do 50, l will attend your State
Grange"
S. J. Lowell"
While l carry out to letter the
three rules referred to above, and
while rented out my farm this year
SO that l might give my time to
Grange organization, yet to alleviate
criticism of my interest in political
matters and promote harmony in the
Grange, have severed my connection
with the organization work.
Respectfully, VIII

AS "a protest against the high
price of mems clothing, Minot lads
and male members Of the faculty Of
the Minot public schools appeared
in their old clothing which had long

Minority in State Supreme Court
UphOlds Commission

Bismarck, MD, April 21.- Because
two out of five justices of the North
Dakota supreme court late yesterday
upheld the constitutionality Of the
printing commission law, which au-
thorizes the commission to name the
legal newspapers in every county of
the state, this law will remain part
of the constitution of North Dakota.
AS far as is known this is the first
time in the history of any state where
the minority Of state supreme court
decided the constitutionality of any
law. The situation is made possible
in this state by constitutional provi-
sions which requires four favorable
opinions on constitutional questions,
out of five members Of the supreme
court.
J.. the longest opinion given on the
case Chief Justice A. NJ. Christian
sen nnint2ins the law in question viz.
lates the sections SO and 81 of the
state constitution and il therefore un-
constitutional. This opinion is shared
By Justice Luther y. |irdxe:l, who
gave the shortest opinion on the case
Justice j. E. Robinson am. Justisce IT,
H. Grace commended that thu law was
constitutional. Justice H. A. Bronson
was disqualified and because Justices
Robinson and Grace had upheld that
the law was constitutional no steps
were taken to name the fifth justice
TIC determine the merits of the case.

In addition to this, there were ship
ped 81 barrels of cod liver oil for hos
pital use in combating rickets. the di-
sease of children so common there be-
cause of under nutrition. Dried peas
and dried beans used in the food ration
are alF4ad stored in warehouses in
Hambug to be drawn as needed. $50
tons of rice have been purchased and
will be delivered at Hambug soon. The
remaining articles of the ration, flour
and sugar. will be supplied in the fu-
ture by the German government.
The value of these goods is about
$500. 900 and it is expected 1t will be
sufficient TO provide a supplementary
meal for about 100000 children per
day until January. This number is
slightly less than the Friends fed dur
ing the spring months of this year.
The original plan was to close the
child feeding operations on August 2l
but the food situation was found to be
so acute and the harvest poor that an
other wears program was prepared.

Ont officers training school.
TO accomplish the reorganization OF
the National Guard and the initial or
ganization Of tho reserve, the army b.ii
provides for general committee to be
composed OF regular army general
staff officers and IN equal number OF
reserve or national guard officers. In
addition, 81 other committees, repre-
senting each state and territory will
arrange the National Guard orgaiiza-
tion in each state and territory. Some
Of these committees have not been ap-
pointed by the governors and conse-
quently this work has not yet been put
under way.
Whilo no full plan OF organization
has been made public, a tentative plan
to be placed before the committees
would divide the country into nine dis
tricts with an army corps In each.
This corps would consist OF one reg
ular, one guard and two reserve divi-
sions so organized that in an emerg-
eney the two reserve divisions. which
would be the only ones
much below war strength, could be
filled up with seIective service men. A
fun quota of officers drawn from the
reserve crops would be available for
these divisions at all times.
