VALE. NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE

The recent election resulted in
wipine out the North Dakota Non
Partisan League as a political men
ace in all western states.
Farmers are Withdrawing finan-
cial support and refusing to pay their
post-dated checks and subscriptions
and there are more bills than cash.
Banks are refusing to take the
checks and one bank in Colorado re-
ports holding over hundred of the
SIG obligations for dues.
The Kansas City Post, Demo
cratic paper that repudiated the
program of state socialism put for
ward by the League says:
when the campaign of education
against the league was started,
many of the farmers who had given
these checks made up their minds
that they had made a mistake. The
first thing they did was to stop pay
ment upon their checks for their
membership fees.
1T is estimated that the league
membership has been reduced by
fully one-half in the last few weeks,
and country bankers and merchants
predict the league will be thing of
the past within another year.

Shipwrecked Among Cannibals
New York Sun-Herald)

Occasionally real life outstrips
even the movies. Such is the case
this week at the Astor Theatre
which has gone into its summer film
session with "Shipwrecked Among
Cannibals." and equipped with fans
and cool air ventilators TO moderate
the effects OF some of the scenes on
the hot South Sea Islands.
This picture purports to show
how couple of men, sent by the
Universal Film Company to take
films of few harmless volcanoes
were shipwrecked on a savage is
land and ran into a cannibal tribe
which was much more exciting than
any mere volcano. OF course the
fact that the men were able to sal
wage their movie cameras from the
wreckage and take numerous close
ups OF the fearsome Kia Kia head
hunters might suggest that some of
the scenes lacked the charm of
spontaneity-that the Americans
did, indeed. win the confidence of
the M tives so far as to bring them
close to the camera without kicking.

The centenary of the pansy was Gel

flower as given at the time was as fol-
lows:
"Just one hundred years ago Lady
Mary Bennett. daughter of the earl
of Tankerville, was so struck with the
simple beauty of a tiny wildling viola
tri-colOr that she collected some of the
best plants and gave them careful Gull
tivatiOn. The first batch of seedlings
raised by her gave such promise shat
systematic selection was at once insti-
tuted. and. thereafter the improvement
of the genus was taken up by the lead
ing growers. Thus to an enthusiastic
amateur we are indebted for one Of
the most popular and beautiful of our
garden flowers"

A DISTINCTION.

Occasionally an intellectual antediluvian
comes to the front with the idea that criti-
cism of public official is criticism OF the
government, and that once men are elected
to office it is les majesty to doubt their hon.
esty or question their motive or differ from
their methods. The coating of moss on
their brains is so deep that they are unable
to understand that the official is not the
government, but only the temporary instru-
mentality for executing the government. A
senator may be a veritable nuisance, even
dangerous to the nation. Criticism of him or
his acts is not criticism of the great body OF
which he is a member, or of the transcend
ent service which the senate performs in
the government. The president may be
weak and side-stepping politician, lacking IN
executive ability and incapable of admin
istering the laws. Criticism of him or his
policies and acts is not suggesting the ellml-
nation of his office from the government.
The distinction between the government and
the individual who administers its differ
ent functions is clear and ought to be readily
understood by anyone of average intelll-
gence Yet, there are those in high places
who lack the ability to discern the differ
ence, and who believe that criticism of the
official is criticism of the government.

What Are We Coming To?
From the Manson Democrat.

A sign in the Manson postoffice lobby warns
patrons not to spit on the floor Huh! What
is this country coming to, anyway? Pretty
soon the postmasters will be getting too
nice to read the post cards or stop and
talk to the patrons when they drop in after
their mail. Postoffices surely are not what
they used to be. The postmaster is no Ion
ger the political boss of his bailiwick and
he does not provide easy chairs sin back"
for his friends to lounge in while they pick
over the cream of the daily papers and dis
cuss free silver and the tariff. We remem-
Der so distinctly when the postoffice in the
country towns was the political headquar-
tiers and the meeting place of the mems
social club, but now it is merely a place to
get ones mail and transact postal bust
ness only. Many a time have we seen
bottle of whiskey drank by the stove of
the village postoffice while the imbibers
plotted a scheme to steal the township dele
cation to the county convention or planned
a new way to enforce the prohibition law
against some fellow that voted the demo-
cratic ticket and we have heard Grover
Cleveland, then president, called every
thing but a gentleman and scholar and
the democratic party pityingly designated
as "a mob" while the proletetariat waited
outside of the wicket for the postmaster to
get up, spit out his chew of tobacco and go
and sort over the mail to give them their
"drop" letter. Yes, postoffces used to be of
some use in town besides place to get the
mail, deposit postal savings and transact
business.

Enough of Radical Liberalism.
From the Macon Telegraph.

There are unlikelier things than the de-
mocracv of the nation turning at San Fran
cisco to Oscar W. Underwood, the ablest and
safest man in the party, to take the helm
and guide the older and inherently stauncher
of the party ships to roadstead from which
it can swing back into that charted course
only by following which can it be of the
most abiding and saving use of the Amerl-
can people. AS a mere opportunistic vote
chaser and reacher for administrative power
for powers sake the democratic party can
only live temporarily To go much farther
along the lines it has been following it will
merit complete disintegration and that un-
mourned passing into the limbo of unla-
ment that is the bourne of all movements
and institutions that depart from the planes
of principle for principles sake.
1t is not beside the probable truth to as
sert the majority of the democratic voters
of this state feel that way about the demo-
cratic party now. What has been done to
date as is common with mass opinion and
intelligence, they are content to leave as 1t
iS trusting to remedial processes later on to
effect what arrests and estopments may be
needed But they are convinced they want
no more of what has been going on. Radl-
cal liberalism is now faced hated and bit
terly opposed everywhere in this state that
for years had been trending toward an en-
lightened and restrained general liberalism.
Of course the awakening to the goal of the
trend has caused some violence of senti-
ment in the revulsion of feeling that has set
in Georgia is not now so much even con-
servatively liberal as she is literally conser
vative. So much liberalism rushing along
unchecked at Washington has brought about
that much of a change in most Of us. We
want some rocks to tie our governmental
institutions to and we want statesmen who
not only can see these anchor posts, but who
never lost sight of them in the days of
stampede.

ECONOMIC OR STATUTE LAW.

The failure of the attorney general to
lower commodity prices by regulation, for
which purpose a fund of two million dollars
was given him, proves that some law other
than that of congress, enforced by some
power other than the department of justice,
is essential to the regulation of prices to
the ultimate consumer. During the period
from last July to the beginning of the
present year the cost of living advanced 8
per cent. These were the months in which
Attorney General Palmer was making his
effort to lower prices. Unless appearances
are deceptive prices will be lower in the
next few months, not as result of the en-
forcement of statute laws, but as a result
of the application of economic laws
Europe has bought without money with
which to pay until her credit has collapsed
from imitation. The European nations tried
the unscientiic policy of borrowing money
from their customer to pay him for the COM
modities they bought. They did not see this
course could result only in disaster. The
collapse of European exchange was needed
to bring the lesson home to the laundering
governments. Besides the high prices which
inflated credit and money in Europe forced
on the American consumer who had to
buy in market competing with that of
Europe, large quantities of American prod
ucts have been stored in this country for
future sale in Europe, thus reducing the
available American supply. 1t is not advisa-
BILE nor practical for American capital to
hold these stocks long in storage, The flu
ture is too uncertain and money is too
badly needed in business which can be
turned over quickly to allow it to be tied
up in dead storage with no foreign market
in sight Much of the storage supplies will
be dumped on the American market, and IN
spite of efforts to deal out the quantities
so that the market will not be swampec
the effect will be to depress prices. If the
Government is able to control the protiteel
and CRATER through whose hands the sup
plies pass on the way to the consumer, an(
to keen expenses down to legitimate trans
portation and distribution the consume
ought to be the beneficiary of the collaps
of the European market. The shortage II
the American market in the past has beef
due to the excessive demands of Europe
These demands have included not only tn
immediate shipments, but the reserves TO
future shipments.
