IMMENSE CROWD.
LANGER's MEETING

On Monday evening last, William
j. LANCER, attorney general of the
state, addressed what was probably
the largest audience ever gathered
at political meeting in the city of
Pembina. Mr.. LANCER, in usual,
aggressive manner, told of his
break with the powers that control
the workings of the Nonpartisan
League, and of his activities in
fighting the battle of those who re-
fused to obey the whims ana fancies
of MIR. Townley and his associates.
His talk was resume of his ac-
tivitites in certain matters which
have been before the people of this
state in the last two years. Parti-
cular attention was paid to the mat
ter of the deprivation of Miss Mel
son Of the powers of the Office to
which she was elected, and told of
the attempt of Mcdonald to hold
the office after having been deci-
sively defeated at the last election.
The attitude of the league leaders
toward Miss Nelson is a matter
that no league adherent has ever
been able to justify in the eyes of
the public, but in view of Mr.. Lam
gers statements it was what might
have been expected from such
people.
The Valley City Bank deal was
fully discussed and the activities of
Mr.. Townley's friends in organizing
banks at big profits, and their milk
ing Of the farmers through exces-
sive organization charges was laid
bare in all it's devilishness. The
particulars are fully known by the
people of the state, and it was
through Mr.. Langer's efforts that
the facts were given to the people.
Mr.. LANCER also told of the clos
ing of the Scandinavian American
bank at Fargo, and quoted from let
ters and records having to do with
the case. This bank it was shown
was used to the limit to care of the
frienzied financing of Mr.. Townley's
friends and the organization, varied

guess It he will not find himself
stranded on q political island like
Robinson Crusoe, with only a few
Fridays" still clinging to his coat
tail. .
Mr.. Wexford has seen fit at differ
ent times to slur the motives Of the
editor Of the Pioneer Express like
he did from the platform Monday
night but we have said nothing per-
sonal about him although we have
had lots Of material. Now that he
has dropped the gauntlet we are in
the ring to the finish. Self prese.-
walton is the first law Of nature and
we expect to exercise our franchise
as an American citizen. NJ r. We'll
ford will find that the majority of
the people of this county are not in
favor Of being controlled by Socialist
politicians like those who run the
Nonpartisan party Of North Dakota
under the guise of working for the
interest of the farmers.
To verify this fact we have nearly
hundred new subscribers on our
subscription list that have been add
ed the last six months, many of
them are life long Democrats, whose
views on national issues have differ
ed from ours. There is not a week
but that we receive encouraging let
ters from this class Of people, and
many of them farmers. There is
room for more on our lists. And if
you are interested in extricating this
state from the clutches of lot of
political shisters, who came into the
state with no other intention than to
plumber, send as IN Sc and we will
send you the Pioneer Express for one
year.

and sundry, in which he had an in
terest financial or otherwise
Mr.. LANCER then told Of the reso-
luton which was passed by the last
legislature asking him to resign.
This resolution contained many
charges Of misconduct on the part
Of Mr.. LANCER, and he showed in a
conclusive manner that none of
them were facts, but as he empha-
tically stated "just lies, lies, lies"
He explained the feeling of the
leaders toward him because of his
independence of thought, and be-
cause heawas not willing to bend
the knee to the click who control
the destinies of the Nonpartisan
League. The numerous spite mea-
sures of the recent legislature as
sembly were also given some atten-
tion. The newspaper legislation al
so came in for a lambasting and he
showed in convincing manner just
what was the real object of such a
law.
After the conclusion of Mr.. Lam
gers talk, Senator Wexford asked
to be PRINTED to say few words
in justification of his vote on the
resolution asking LANCER to resign,
and in somewhat labored effort he
failed to convince the audience in
general of the fairness of his vote
on that particular resolution. SEN
ator Wexford made a somewhat un-
fortunate remark for himself when
he told LANCER that he was judged
by the company he kept. 1t was
Immediately after the conclusion of
Mr. Welford's effort that Mr.. Lam
ser agreed &c ten Mr.. welfc7d
something about the company he
was in, and this included every
wildeyed, hairbraided, socialist, ag-
itator, and demagogue that has in
Tested our fair state since Mr..
Townley has been in supreme COM
mand. These were all called by
name and are we'll known by the
general public to be exactly as they
were represented by MIR. LANCER.
Mr.. Langer's statement in this par
ticular will probably hold the honor
able senator for some time at least.
It was meeting which lasted
for some four hours and the inter-
est was intense until the last word
was said. The interest and app,a-
use was just another indication that
the days of Townleyism in North
Dakota are coming to an end and
that Mr.. Townley and all of his
friends can look for no aid or SYM
pathy from those attending the
meeting.

POLITICAL HISTORY.
More anon.

EOlC0r PlOneer Express:
Enclosed find renewal check for my
subscription to your paper.
I noticed in recent issue of your
paper that our friend C. H. Eastman
is somewhat, worried about the farm
program. Evidently he is losing
faith and hope. I have a warm spot
for Mr.. Eastman always since we
roughed thrugh the Free Silver "pro-
gram" together in 1896 and got both
kicked out like Borgan and many
other great men. I feel that I am
able to comfort him now, as I have
more faith and hopes in the good
sides of the farmers program than
he has, so if you please Mr.. East
man: The hail insurance law is a
good law, leaving a profit of II dol
lars on every 100 acres over and
above the high tax on land. OF
course cow pastures, wood land mea-
Gows and all untillable acres must
be counted as insured but under a
farmers program such rrifes
should be overlooked and faith will
make it easy and the cents an acre
tax is too small to mention it. The
grain grading law should be benefi-
cial, at least they show the right
spirit, and by a little faith they can
be considered great blessing.
The Drake mill is also a peach at
piling up profits at the rate of s3
per cent. Think of the big ones
when they come and the elevators
and the packing plants and the Bank
of Dakota. How can we get shares
in such things so easy, just by lit
tie faith they can be considered en-
ormous, for profits or dividens to
us individuals? Well have some
faith and ask no silly questions.
Of course the farmers program"
raised taxes against land pretty
high, but that was the plan by Hem
~ George and he may have been a
farmer or at least a land owner, I do
not know. Faith will tell US that
he knew what he was advising was
correct. Then the tax was not rails
ed SO much on banks, stores or such
like, faith will tell us that they
should be low on such cash, and on
cash, mortgages, notes and all other
credits, tax was not raised at all
and on deposits in our bank in Bis
marck there is no tax what ever.
Why Of course not, faith will tell us
that cash and credits should not be
taxed much because they are owned
by poor people, are they not? There
fore why should not the farmers un-
der their own program" be willing
to pay the highest rate on their
land? II is their program" and
they get the benefit. II costs money
to operate it. Take the spying COM
mittee and the state sheriff, why.
should they not have a little China
wall q $4,000 built around their
program? Why should not $4,000
be expended for getting n people To-
swell the program" and Il those
that came in, happen TO b short Of
the worlds goods, Why should not
smother $4,000 b spent for THAR

Mexico Will Not
 Issue Any Paper Now, Says Cabrera

E. Paso, Tex, Feb. 10.-Luis Cabre- ra, ssecretary of the Mexican treas ury, has assured the Mexican people, in an interview in the Excelsior, that the Mexican government does not at present contemplate an issue of paper money. There has been some anxiety in Mexican business circles regarding the possibility of such an issue.
 Senor Cabrera stated that other measures were being studied by the government to relieve the situation resulting from the scarcity of silver in most o fthe worlds markets; but the nature of these measures was not disclosed.
 American statistics are quoted by the Excelsior to show that the short age of the white metal is due to a monopoly obtained by India and Chi na. Between 1913 and 1918 these two countries accumulated 760,000 troy ounces of silver-or seven-eighths of the worlds output, it is asserted.
 Commenting editorially on the if. nancial situation, the paper says:
 Credit has been lost. All of us have lost it, but especially the gov ernment. And for this reason. to insure the success of another issue of paper money, it would be neces- sary to surround it with all kinds of precautions-esp especially that of not imposing 1t on the people. The val untary cooperation of the public should be sought

Coasting Rights on Iowa Highways
 Upheld by Court

Des Moines. Ia, Feb. 10-Coastin rights on Iowa highways have been defined by the state supreme court.
 The law recognizes no favorites in the use of highways, and children may coast or play thereon with as much right as the driver of twin six automobile, the highest court of the state declared. In it's decision the court said, "The titled traveller with his coach of six, flanked by out riders, has no higher or better right to the public roads than has the pa tient squaw with her pony, dragging a primitive travois which bears her blankets.
 of. for example, boys are playing Fox and Geese on the road, they are no less entitled to their right than if they were soberly making their way to school or to a funeral
 1t cannot be conceded that coast ing upon public highway is an il- legal act or a nuisance. Public high ways are as much for pleasure as for business"
 The courts decision was on an ap- peal from a damage suit in Potta- wattamie county, in which a young woman sued and obtained a judg- ment for damages from the driver of a team who had refused to "give road'' so she could pass on her sled coast ing down hill. She was injured in the collision. The defendant con- tended she was guilty of contributory negligence because he said highways were not for coasting.

No Hope to Get Single Ton of Coal
 From Lens Mines

Paris, Feb. 10-Althougn all possi- ble efforts to reconstruct the war shattered mines Of Lens have been and are being made. there is nov no hope that a single. ton of coal will be extracted before 1921. In fact, the task of bringing back Lens to its former prosperity is so immense that it is not expected that the town and it's mines will return to any thing like their former state before 1928 or 1929.
 Provided that the work can be carried on without interruption, it will take all 1920 to clear the under ground workings of the debris with which they were choked by the Ger mans. Most of the workings, and all the deeper ones are flooded.
 A plan for drawing off the water has been arranged. The reconstruc- ton and repair of the tubbing will be carried out by German workmen. and the cement for the purpose will be brough. from Germany. The pumping out of the mines is expect ed to take at least three years. It is hoped that by next year it will be possible to exact coal from the first galleries, which are only 500 feet deep. but it is now expected that water will be pumped out of the lower workings, which run down to 2,250 yards, until 1923 or even 1924
 The railways in the Lens district will not be completely repaired till 1921. Of the 800 workmen's dwell ings belonging to the Miners so- ciety, not hundred can be repair ed. Four hundred concrete huts are to be built in which it is hoped to house the 5000 workers who will be employed in the clearing of the pits for the next two or three years.

RepatriatiOn of
 Germans in India Already Under Way

 Before the war Germany was mak- ing strenuous efforts to capture In- dian trade and did a large business through German agents stationed in India.

Sociology Gusts l. Religion in Taste

London, Feb. 10-Sociology has busted religion in the British reading public's taste, but fiction still tops the list. says the Publishers Circn- lar. reviewing the boo& situation for 1919.
 Before the war, books on religion stood second, science and sociology fourth. Last year, however. SPA so- biological works were issued against 662 in 1918 and scientific works have dropped to seventh place. Poetical and dramatic books dropped from 642 in 1918 to 495 last year, and there were 200 fewer history books. The whole output in 1919 was 906 vols umes more than in 1918.
