JUMPING JACKS
FOR MILLIONAIRES

John Swinton-one of Americas
Oldest and most beloved journalists
was rendered a banquet by his fellow
editors, and surprised his hosts by
the following words:
There is no such thing in America
sa an Independent Press.
You know it and I know it. There is
not one Of you who dares to write
his honest opinions, and if you did
you know beforehand that it would
never appear in print.
I am paid $4,000 a week for keep
ing my honest opinions out of the
paper I am connected with-others of
you are paid similar salaries for sim
liar things-and any of you who
should be so foolish as to write his
honest opinions would be out on the
streets looking for another job.
The business of the New York jour-
nalist is to destroy the truth, to lie
outright, to pervert, to villify, to fawn
at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his
race and his country for his daily
bread.
You know this and I know it, and
what folly is this to be toasting an
Independent Press"
We are tools and ~vassals of the rich
men behind the scenes. We are the
jumping jacks; they pull the strings
and we dance. Our talents, posi-
bilities, and our lives are all prop
erty of other men. We are intellect

Gratis and politicians with reference to
equal suffrage for women and how
the Republican and Democratic gang
sters would like to repress their DO
litical aspirations. Following is an ex-
cerpt from this organ of Big Biz:
"How seriously will politics take
women? If we were asked to draw
an anology, we'd say that if we had a
fractions horse, and after we'd fed
him we'll, pampered him, coddled him,
treated him with every kindness, and
attempted to talk reason at him, he
still stood on his hind legs and paved
at the air, we'd get a rawhide quirt
and hire the best horseman we knew
and then scientifically and firmly lick
the hell right out of him."
In reading this quotation from the
Monitor, an organ Of Big Business,
the women of North Dakota should
bear one over s%hadowing fact in mind
that the Merchants and Manufac-
turers Association is simply the par
ent body of such organizations as the
I. V. A. in this state. Deep down in
their hearts the old gang politicians
who dominate such cliques as the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, believe in m%astership as op-
posed to liberty. Their motto is en-.

LEMONS N MELONS

Did it ever occur to you how simple
a matter it is to change a lemon into
a melon, not the fruit itself but the
five letters Of the English alphabet
that when arranged in one way spell
lemon and in another fashion melon.
For example take the word lemon, re-
verse it's first syllable and you get a
melon.
In much the same way it is only
necessary to reverse your point-of-
view with reference to the direction in
which cash is moving to change the
lemon (for the public) Of higher rail-
road rates into the melon of juicy
profits (for the profiteers).
The higher rates on passenger tray
ell and freight traffic became effect
i've several days ago in the Unated
States. Through the efforts of Will
liam Lemke, a special assistant attor-
ney general of North Dakota, they
were held up in this state, the state
supreme court issuing a temporary in
junction to restrain the roads from
placing this extra burden on Flicker
tail people.
Unfortunately for them, forty-sev-
en- states in the Union do not have
alert assistant attorney generals like
Mr.. Lemke, officials neither awed by
influence nor bribed by gain, and so
no effort will be made in many other
commonwealth to block this gigantic
railroad swindle. The masses of the
people will be gouged out of some ten
billions next year. Surely you can
see they are getting a lemon; yes, a
lemon as sour and bitter as vinegar.
But look at the pious, sanity
"ready-for Heaven" profiteers. For
them the increase in railroad rates is
a great, big luscious melon.
Congress with President Wilson's
aid jointly handed the railroad prof.
teeres a melon, at the same time CIV
ing the common people a lemon.
If you want to see the melon of the
railroad profiteers kicked around and
badly bruised at least, cast your bal
lot for the candidate for congress-
man in your district who has been en-
dorsed by the Nonpartisan League.
John M. Baer of Cass County is the
League nominee in the first district,
Ole Oleson of Eddy County the candi-
date in the second district, while Con-
gresham, James Sinclair, a strong
Lacquer, is running for reelection in
the third.
Both Congressman Baer and Sin
clair voted against the ubiquitous
Esch-C ummins bill which made it pos
sible for the railroads to secure this
melon and gouge the people out Of
billions.

WHY DOES THE FORUM
OPPOSE MR.. LEMKE

First, is it because when the big
milling interests attempted to de-
stroy the Equity Cooperative Elk
change and the Forum called J. M.
Anderson and Geo. S. LOTUS trait
ors while MI. Lemke defended them
and succeeded in the defense?
Second, is it because Mr.. Lemke
defended the Forty Two Tax Payers
suit which Judge Young, the real
proprietor Of the Fargo Forum, brot
against the Industrial Program? .
Third, is it because he assisted the
League in overthrowing the old gang
sters of which the Forum is one?
Fourth, is it because he had some
thing to do with enacting the In
dustrial Program Of the State of
North Dakota?
Fifth, is it because heblocked Judge
Young and other attorneys in pre-
venting the State from collecting the
Standard Oil tax?
Sixth, is it because he enjoined the
railroads from increasing the freight
and passenger rates?
Seventh, is it because he has given
the best part of his life to the pro-
gressive movement Of the Equity Co.
operative Exchange and the Nonpar-
tisan League without any real COM
~pensation excepting bare expenses?
Isn't it a fact that Mr.. Lemke could
get the support Of the corrupted press
such as the Fargo Forum and others,
in t%wenty-four hours, if he would at
tempt to betray the Farmers Cause.
The Forum has supported every po-
litical crook so far who has become
traitor to the Farmers Cause within
twenty-four hours.
Isn't it that the price Of. the sup
port of the Forum is dishonesty and
betrayal and whenever any man is
willing to accept those terms the
Forum will support his Immediately?
