quite handy during the chilly winter
days in North Dakota. 1t is to be
regretted that there is not a better
market for wool as the prices offered
are not at all in comparison to the
prices asked for wooden suit of
clothes, for instance. In fact, it may
be said that there is no market at all,
and North Dakota growers may be
compelled to hang onto their clip for
better prices unless the market
changes.

The Congressional Fusion

No one charges against the Demo-
cratic party any anti-American or
anti-patriotic or Fundamentally anti
democratic intent. No one makes
similar charges against the Repub-
lican party.
But as to the Socialist party. it
is a matter of grave doubt of what
is its attitude. Many individual So
clalists are good Americans, devoted
patriots. and sound democrats, but
the organization as a whole is under
what must be regarded as just sus-
plclon. 1t is not easy to reconcile
support of the class war doctrine of
Marx, which the Socialists uphold,
with Americanism or patriotism or
belief in democracy. The gist of the
famous Marx manifesto was that the
workingmen of the world-and all
except tiny minority are workers.
have no country. And lately the
Socialists have not made it clear that
they oppose government by a tyran-
nous minority.
SO the fusion between Democrats
and Republicans in four Congress
sional districts of New York is emf
nently logical. In these districts the
issue is deeper than those which
separate the supporters of the San
Francisco and Chicago platforms.
And as there is danger if the pa
triotic forces are divided the fusion
is not only logical but sensible. No
one wishes to draw the line against
any political organization, but when
a political organization itself draws
line and expresses sympathy for
ideas and action whose implications
are plain. it is time for good citizens
to disregard secondary issues.

But no more! All sentiment is lost
