of seasons with the Ben Greet
Players and has staged many classi-
cal works, it may be realized that
there Is a kick in his clamor. In
other words, his earnest protestation
that there is a good musical revue
in the story of the Melancholy Dane
may have foundation. He staged

TRANCE WILL
 PAY ALL DEBTS
ONLY ASKS TIME TO BREATHE, DECLARES PREMIER-THE U. s. FRIENDSHIP VITAL.

Paris, March 15.-Premier Mille- land today put aside the German cri- sis long enough to discuss the rela- tions between France and the United States and the conditions of inter- national credit. He said to a repre- sentative of the Associated press:
 "France and the United States must continue the clsd friendship which always has been maintained between the tw countries. No fleeting mis- understandings must be allowed to trouble their relations. To that end the sooner misconceptions are dissi- pated the better.
 "Without going into the purely po- litical questions, it appears to me an opportune time to recall now to our friend, the United States, that France is not asking for charity. The great CT part of money France borrowed abroad was spent in the common in terest of all the civilized countries a fact whic hmight form the basis of claim for special consideration but such is not our intention.
 "We don't request cancellation of our debts. We only ask time to breathe and to recover our strength after four years and half of ex- hausting war. Our propositions are those which any debtor would feel in making in the interest of both himself and his creditor"
 The premier referred to the ruinous fluctuations in the rate of exchange

THAT'S HOW WE STAND

Surely it must be clear to readers
of The Forum that any quarrel it has
with the Mckenzie Townley entente
cordiale, is not quarrel with any Of
the candidates for the Republican
nomination for the presidency.
The Forum refuses to permit itself
to be placed in the position of fight
ing Maj. Gen. Wood or of supporting
Governor Lowden for the nomination.
It is doing neither at this time, any
more than it is supporting Gen. Wood
or opposing Governor Lowden.~ 1#
It has the greatest respect for most
Of the republican candidates. Surely
men of the calibre of Gen. Wood, Gov
ernor Lowden, Herbert Hoover and
Governor Coolidge deserve to be held
in the highest esteem by decent Amer
lean citizens, whatever their politics
may be. It would be no disgrace to
be found supporting any one of them.
if the support were accorded from un-
selfish motives and because of convic-
ton that the chosen candidate was
the best fitted for the Office.
But for nearly three years, The
Forum has been fighting, to the very
best of its ability the political gang
that now controls the destinies of the
Nonpartisan league. It draws no dis
tinction in gang rule, whether the
gang is the Townley gang or the Nc
Kenzie gang. And when there is very

"TO THE IMPURE -

If Joseph Coghlan of Bismarck, the
librarian of the state supreme court
and the vehemently religious editor OF
the Fargo Courier News do mot feel
shame for the letter and editorial
which appeared in the Friday morn
ing issue of that paper, it is because
they have lost their capacity for that
emotion. f .#E
It is unfortunate that the libel
laws of North Dakota do not cover
generalities. This letter and the edi-
torial comment virtually charge every
man who ever sat in the North Dako-
ia legislature prior to 1917 or had
been at Bismarck in an official capac-
ity, with consorting with harlots. BY
inuendo, suspicion was thrown on the
morality Of all of them.
For example, the letter says:
Previous to 1917 for many
years most of the legislators had
their scarlet women and their
large supply of booze with them
in their hotels. Those were the
good old days. when the state
was "safe and sane. No ''reds''
then. Mckenzie ran the state.
Judge Young and others sat upon
the supreme bench. The fast wo-
men from as far east as Chicago,
and as far west as Miles City met
with the legislators and made life
merry. But those orgies of free
love and moral degradation are
past, thanks to the Nonpartisan
league, and pray God they may
never return.
But now things have changed.

"THE DAIRY COW AND THE
BACON HOG" .

If North Dakota had depended sole
ly on its wheat crop in 1919, the state
would have been in a bad way indeed.
But fortunately the state no longer
is dependent on it's wheat crop, ais
shown by the completed statistics of
the federal crop reporting bureau,
published yesterday.
In fact the wheat crop represented
considerably less than half Of the val
ue of the farm crops of North Dakota,
and that statement, Of course, does
not take into consideration the dairy
products of the receipts from live
stock Of any kind.
"The dairy cow and the bacon hog
are coming into their own in North
Dakota The figures on the corn crop
are sufficient evidence Of that. The
total value of the 1919 crop was more
than $23,00O,000, the second largest
in history, and the value per acre was
$46.2O, second only to the potato yield
in this respect.
Corn, hogs and cattle spell perma-
nent agricultural prosperity, and if
the 1917 crop figures reveal anything,
they reveal that the state has its feet
firmly on the path that leads to mix
ed farming and livestock, and higher
land values and permanent prosper
ity instead of alternate years Of feast
and famine.-Forun. II

NO GOODS TO DELIVER

In a letter to The Forum which is
published on this page this evening,
Mr.. JOh1i Scott, s. lurnler OF GiiDy,
suggests a line of thought that is in
teresting. s'4-
What has Townleyism cost North
Dakota and what could have been
done toward developing the state
through cooperative enterprises with
this money?
The Forum has touched on the sub
would do no harm.
Farmers have contributed ST 100,
900 to re Consumers United Stores;
they have contributed at the very
minimum, 100000 in dues to the
league; and for defunct newspapers,
magazine. subscriptions, and ~donat-
ions to various other league enter
prises, it would be safe to estimate
close to another 81 100000. Perhaps
the various enterprises that have un-
dertaken to flight the league" at var
ject before this, but little repetition
ious times during the last three years
have taken close to 100000 from
the pockets Of North Dakotans, al
though this may be excessive. All
told, it would probably not be an ex-
aggeration to state that the political
enterprises Of Mr.. .Townley have cost
the citizens in actual money, close to
$4,000, 900, to say nothing Of the bit
terness they have aroused.
With this 100000 what could
have been done? a..,-, +.
To begin with, we could have had
100 cooperative stores scattered thru,
the state, each with an honest-to-
goodness stock of SIC, 900 in merchan-
disc. They would be actually owned
by the men who put up the money.
Instead of them, we have IS stores,
with stocks of problematical value,
owned, until recently, by Mr.. Town
ley and his associates.
h With the remaining $4,000, 900 we
could have built the long desired ter
ninal elevator, and could have scat
tered -four mills in half dozen cities
Of the state. Instead Of that, we have
one little mill at Drake, and are now
trying to raise the cost Of the mill
at Grand Forks after having squan-
.dered several times the sum needed
for it.
It is easy to sit down and conjure
up fantastic figures of what Town
leyism has cost the state or what it
has returned in dividends, in an Sin
direct way" but the foregoing sta
tistics represent cold, hard cash that
has actually been collected and paid
out. With that sum North Dakota
could have launched the most ambit-
ious and far reaching cooperative
plan this country has ever known.
Yet here we are, at the end of the
financial rope, with the money spent,
and nothing to show for it but hatred,
ennity, bitterness, and class feeling.
State flour isn't penny cheaper
than other -four, and it won't be de-
spite the fact that we are subsidizing
the mill with freedom from taxes.
The state bank has raised interest
rates instead of lowering them:

one whit better of than the consumer

Speaking about the coming Grand
Forks convention that is to be held in
that city next Thursday and Friday
there is much speculation as to what
action the l. V. AS will take in re-
gard to nominating a ticket. Some
seem to think that the ticket should
not be nominated at that time but lat
err on at another convention. If our
opinion as an individual is any good
we feel that it will be mistake to go
to Grand Forks and not nominate. In
the first place to put it off to another
date would entail lot Of unnecessary
expense. Secondly the best kind of a

Judge Young has resigned from
the supreme bench to make more
money representing the railroads.
And from the editorial sewer, this
dripping morsel is picked:

tent itself with mere theoretical
contemplation of free love. The
old gang practiced it. The Cou-
rier-News has previously publish.
ed letters from Bismarck people
who have known from observat-

day We publish another such let

that under the old gang manor

legislators. 1t was indeed cult

might hold the whip hand over

Neither Mr.. Coghlan nor the editor
aares makes the charge specific. Yet
we have become so blunted to the out
rageous slandering of reputable cit
izems in North Dakota, that we feel
no more than a passing irritation in
reading such vicious SANDER. No man
