am now back from the Sum,
South, where / found relief. It wa:
an herb medicine / found there by til,
help of an old railroad conductor tina,
helped me. s
| The temperature was from 1860 de
grees above and the negroes were
loafing around in their shirt sleeves
The government baths and the water
there was fine indeed. Many find re.
lief but not all.
It is quite a change to come back
into these icy regions to be 6"'boxed'
lup.
We did not get our mail all of last
week, in spite of Monday and We'd
nesday being both fine days when
straw was hazied in from the fields
and farmers went to towns and coal
mines, The mai1boxes are loaded with
mail going out 50 the only thing is to
take It to town ourselves.
Hiram johnson Of California was
not spoken well Of as candidate for
president in the east and south. There
was always an aggravation connect
ed to his name. They claimed that
his lecturing in the steps of our Hon.
Wilson, seeding wildcats" broke the
last nerve left in the president who
was already partly worn out. It was
spoken of as worse crime than a
bolsheviki.
On the train to Little Rock, Ark,
Imet prominent DR.. s. He
asked why the Nonpartisans did not
send some organizers to Arkansas.
s.s The negroes would become better
citizens If they were owners of their
own farms. As it is now, some
men own the best land, along
the Mississippi where negroes were
mere tenants. He did not think it was
right for any man to hold over 1000
acres OF that valuable land, nor should
any man hold more in property or
money than 100000; because it was
! burden instead Of q pleasure to him.
The same idea was expressed by a
prominent lawyer of North Dakota,
going as representative to their
in New York, though he
Vas against the League Of North Da-
Ipta, he was able to see some good
il them, too. Now then, if lawyers,
,ankers and business men hold con-
7entions why should it be more wrong
or farmers to hold conventions, too.
Rleer SO many are unable to see
his.
Atty. Gen. Palmer says that we are
,aying 600 per cent more in taxes
low than before the war. l thought
t was only North Dakota on account
# Nonpartisans that had to do that.
It least that is the talk of the old
lress in North Dakota.
On my way home on this big trip
met chief Of the railroad inspec-
ion. He was glad to tell us the i'm
possibility of the government running
!. railroad. He surely enjoyed the
mere thought of the coming of March I
st. He held the view that any man |
forking for the government did not |
are, just SO he got high wages for
tile or nothing done. | asked how
an the company protect themselves
rom careless workers on the section
nd in the roundhouses smashing up
Kings just because it is for the COM.
any ooh! we ask the government
j raise our rates"
The automobiles have relieved the
ard drives on the road with horses.
he tractor has relieved the horses
eom many hard knocks on the. farm.
le are looking for the Nonpartisans
!, lift the poor up to his standard in
Be it so.
