some of these union men will want

A report given out recently by the
Pathe Exchange Qnc.) which pro-
duces Pathe Weekly and other films
which no doubt most of US have seen
in the movies, shows the magnitude
of the business transacted by this

fiscal year, ending February %, 1920,
was 100000, an increase of 60 per
cent over the previous year. They
made net profit after income and
excess profits tax, of 1927, 900. The
balance sheet shows quick assets Of
S4,20O,0O0 against quick liabilities Of
81, ATS, 900. The company's present
capitalization is 100000. The
Pathe films are of an educational ma
ture, showing great world events,
beautiful scenery, how many differ
mt kinds Of goods are manufactured,
any any other news or happenings,
etc, which interest the public.
The more the league papers try to
becloud the issue by saying that the
-Townley forces are getting into
a bad mix-up over the governorship,
the harder will be the fall for the So
cialists next month after the Minot
convention has been held and the NOM
nations made. Every candidate for
the governorship has said ne Will
abide by the elimination convention to
be held at Minot and if they are all
telling the truth there will be moth
ing to it but to go ahead and elect
the nominee of that convention. We
know it will be a very painful ordeal
to the bunch who are hoping for a
split because it means the deathknell
to all their hopes for future pap and
loot of the state funds. The farmers
themselves will clean house this year
and try to put a stop to this reckless
expenditure Of the peoples money
The Sioux Indians on Cannon Ball
reservation have announced in reso-
lutions that they oppose the nonpartls--
ian league. There is indeed good
deal of difference between life in
North Dakota in these days and that
prevailing when Lewis and Clark pad
died their way up the Missouri. Per
haps the l. V. A. may put a plank in
their platform recommending the re-
storation of the wigwam and the re-
surgence of the tonlahawk.-Grand
Forks American. -,
No, dear brother, the I. V. A. will
adopt no such plank as far as we
know. and these resolutions only go to
show that these Indians are clear
minded and far sighted enugh to see
the kind of a position which your ad-
ministration is trying to put the state
in. You might suggest to Mr. Fraz-
Ter that he give some of these red
skins a Job around Townleyville in
place of importing so much OF his high
priced help. They could no doubt MI
the "bill" just as good.
The fact that about fifty thousand
persons wrote the name of Hiram
johnson in on their ballots in the prl-
mary election in Illinois because Mr..
Johnson's name was not on the ballot,
is very significant to those posted on
politics. Hiram johnson stands for
abandoning the present peace treaty
or league of nations and his wonder
full vote getting ability all over the
country is mute testimony from the
people that they do not want the peace
pact which President Wilson so stub
bornly is trying to force down the
necks of the American people but
without thanks to republican
senate and the aid of number OF
American democrats. Had Hiram
Johnson's name been on the ballot in
Illinois it looks quite probable that he
would have carried that state against
it's popular governor, Lowden. The
American people are not in favor OF
the league Of nations and peace pact
in it's present form and are showing
it on every hand by their votes. They
want an American made peace past in
stead of British made one.
The New York Call, which is the
official organization of the Socialist
party of the United States, which be-
lieves in the confscation of all private
property, and the establishment of a
Socialist dictatorship such as they
have in Russia. contains the following
warm endorsement of the Non-Parti
san league:
Good for Townley and the North
Dakota farmer If they are mad we
want to see them bite the agricultur-
! lists of all other states and infect them
too. We do not look upon their efforts
as competitor or rival of socialism but
movement converging on the same
road and with the same object. They
are socialists whatever other name
! they may call themselves, and are
working for the realization Of Social.
! ism. We extend fraternal greetings
! to the farmers of North Dakota. They
are. at last. on the right track, and we
sincerely hope they will show the way
to other millions of tillers Of the soil. .
