Yesterdays Union Record, organ of
the self-styled liberals" of this part
Of the country, contained a letter, evil
IDENTIFY written by a regular and SYM
pathetic reader, protesting against
the report of the Conan tallard de-
bate which that paper printed. Ac-
cording to the writer of this letter
the report was "undignified, nasty
and spiteful in tone as well as un-
truthful in its makeup" He says
that the Yakima papers, meaning the
Republic and Herald, although plain
ly and frankly biased, had reports
that gave one a very fair idea Of what
actually happened" and he wants to
know if it has come to the point
where we must turn from the Union
Record to the kept press to get the
TRUTH" It is refreshing, indeed, to
hear from one of these fellows who is
honest enough and frank enough to
say that he prefers the truth to the
garbled and distorted versions which
always appear in the subsidized or
gans of propaganda, and so far as the
Republic is concerned, it would like to
have the Union Records correspon-
dent know that it appreciates him.
There is no lie which the honest news
paper workers on the Republic and
other papers like it, which are owned
by their publishers and represent in
their every issue an earnest effort on
the part of every worker and helper
to serve their people, hate as they
hate that one of pretended reform
ers" about the "kept" press. It is
the meanest, most uncalled for sland-
er upon them and their business or
profession which can be produced. Not
only did the Republic and Herald give
frank and truthful reports Of the Co
man-Stallard debate, but they gave
more frank and truthful reports of the
socalled "iberal" conventions held
here couple Of weeks ago than ap-
peared in any Of the "liberal" propa-
ganda papers. Not only that, but
whenever the facts are obtainable the
Yakima "capitalistic press" always
gives more truthful reports of all such
gatherings than can be found in any
Of the propaganda sheets. These
sheets aro newer maintained foy tho
purpose Of disseminating the news.
but always exist for the purpose of
distorting and misinterpreting it.

1 ~ANTED-N onpartisan high
IV school teacher and one for 7th
and 9Th grades. Only normal grad
yates will be considerd. State quail
fications, experience and salary in
first letter. T. G. Gresne, Clerk, Ber-
gen, N. D.
The above advertisement is copied
from the columns Of the Courier
News, daily nonpartisan league pa
per published in Fargo, N. D., to which
the editor of this paper is a regular
subscriber.
! At least the clerk of this North
Dakota school district is to be COM
mended for his frankness. He be-
lieves that the way to get a nonpar-
tisan league high school teacher is to
advertise for one.
/ To our mind one of the most valid
criticisms against the nonpartisan
league, as it functions in North Da-
kota under the direction of socialists
like Townley, Mills and Lemke, is
that every public institution has been
dragged into the mire of violent and
vicious politics. No one, we care not
what may be his political affiliations
or beliefs, can read the newspapers
of North Dakota and not be forced to
the conclusion that the states whole
life economic, social, educational and
religious-has been besmeared with
the slime and filth Of a miserable
mud-slinging political campaign which
has rent the state asunder, leaving
nothing untouched, and is costing the
people of that state millions of dollars.
Cooperation" compromise" thar
mony," "united effort" and "commun-
ity spirit" are lost expressions in the
news and editorial columns of the
newspapers every issue of which reeks
with such epithets as 'liar," "thief,"
"gangster," "crook," and "fakir" and
"scoundrel." And in this respect to
no one side belongs the guilt, both
sides are equally guilty.
The want ad quoted above is but
typical of the fiercenesss of prejudice
and partisanship as it RACES in North
Dakota today. Nothing has escaped,
not even the schools which have been
plunged into the whirlpool Of the pet
test kind of politics. The nonparti-
sans are in control in North Dakota
and the school clerks advertise for
nonpartisan school teachers. The re-
publicans are in control in this state.
We wonder what our nonpartisan
friends would say were our school
clerks to advertise for republican,
teachers in our schools.
God forbid that the state of Wash
ington ever be reduced to the present
condition of North Dakota. Economic
evils, and political ills may exist in
this state. IF so, let's set about the
business Of correcting those evils in
our own right and as plain citizens
of the state Of Washington without
delivering our institutions into polit-
zeal debauchery by following the di-
rection Of A. G. Townley and Walter
Thomas Mills whose teachings are
based upon class prejudice, whose ev-

Strike of 10000 Fur
Workers Set for To-day

If the 10000 fur workers of the city
were in earnest when they delivered
their ultimatum to the Associated Fur
Manufacturers Inc. last Monday, it is
probable that strike will be called to-
day or tomorrow.
In their letter to their employers the
employees made final demands" in
which they called attention to the fact
that 40 per cent of their membership
was unemployed They insisted that
all workers laid off since May be re-
instated. Fred Kaufman, president of
the Associated Fur Manufacturers, Inc,
replied yesterday in behalf Of his or
ganization, saying:
This association notes your claim
regarding unemployment. We do not
agree that your new demands offers
q solution. In our opinion. the only
cure fer unemployment and its at
tendant problems is the resumption of
business activity.
"Thereforee, this association has
unanimously resolved that it will make
no modification of the present agree
ment.'

Tanner Predicts
Lower Shoe Prices
Late Next Winter
Recent Decline in Leather
Will Not Be Reflected in
Retail Market for Many
Months. Expert Testifies

WASHINGTON. May 25.-Lower shoe
prices late next winter and spring
were predicted to-day by Edward A.
Brand, secretary of the Tanners Coun-
Gil of the United States, testifying be-
tore a Senate committee of inquiry.
Tanners and manufacturers believe
prices Will fall by that time, Mr.. Brand
said, because of the recent decline
IN leather prices. This decline could
not sooner be reflected in shoe cost,
he said, because shoes are made. up
far in advance of the season in which
they are offered on the market.
III leather prices stay where they
are now" Mr.. Brand said, at means
that the cheaper hides will come into
leather in ten months at least, and
cheaper leather means cheaper sohes.
Shoe prices should begin TO become
lower late next winter-not in the fall,
but early winter. and in the spring
and early summer of 1921, providing
nothing unforeseen happens"
Stocks of medium grade leather now
are plentiful, Mr.. Brand stated, and
there also are adequate supplies" of
the best grades Foreign purchases
have been reduced because of the ex-
change situation, he said, while domes-
tic purchases have declined because re-
tailers are buying "hand to mouth"
