Pardons Have Been Frequent

After the 1912 Legislature, in re-
sponse to urging Of the bench, enact.
ed the law jailing offenders, records
show that Governor McCreary, under
whose regime II was passed, still
Needed the custom Of another day
Nearly all Corners" were pardoned
His successors in Office apparently
applied the doctrine Of contempora.
neous construction" to applications
for clemency.
In at least one case in this district
a pardon was obtained by telephone
within hour after sentence was
pronounced.
As result Of this situation a bill
was introduced but failed passage.
In the last Legislature to repeal the
law and make the offense a misde.
meanor to obtain more permanent
conviction. 1t is said too, that fre.
quently pistol toters" are arranged
on charges Of simple breach of the
peace and thus get Of with small
fines.

THE PEOPLE PERISH

It is hardly possible to doubt the
awful truth OF the picture drawn BY
the chairman Of the Red Cross. EN-
trail and eastern Europe is, as Mr..
Dawson said, the scene of zone of the
most terrible tragedies in the history
of the human race" 1t should be also
the scene of one of the most disastrous
political follies in the history OF Euro
pean diplomacy. These stricken lands.
idle, wasted, and rotten with disease,
are none other than the sanitary cor
don Of the Versailles peace. The
wretched peoples are one of the essen
tial links of the blockade, and it's chief
victim. Even while they starve and
decay they are whipped into an insane
war by criminal men for whom no pun
ishment and no contempt is adequate.
With the best will in the world it Is
not possible to bring light and life and
happiness to these people until the
criminals in Warsaw and Paris and
London are stripped of their power for
evil. There can be no social restora-
ton without political peace. There can
only be succor, and that of the most
temporary kind. But if the problem il
to be met, relief must be accompanied
by a radical change in the major poll
tics of Europe. The people perish be-
cause the statesmen gamble.-The

Chairman, National War Labor
Board.
The great adventure in economic and
political reconstruction which is now
being carried on in North Dakota by
the Nonpartisan League is real Ameri-
canism.
The people of North Dakota are put
ting into effect a new declaration of
Observation-Disclosures Of the f.
nancial and industrial autocracy which
is slowly but surely strangling Ameri-
can agriculture, trade and industry.
Individual enterprise has been the
keynote of American progress. The
people, through the Nonpartisan
League program are creating a social
and political state where every indi-
vidual, rich or poor, will have an OPP
p%ortunity for the full development Of
his individual ability, initiative and
enterprise.
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court in favor Of the Nonpartisan
League program removes the last legal
obstacle which the enemies of the
movement car place in the path of it's
progress.
Great things grow slowly. The peo-
pie Of North Dakota have wisely at
tempted only what they can reason
ably accomplish. Step by step they
are moving toward the destruction Of
privilege and the establishment OF gen
uine economic and political democracy.

DANGEROUS TO READ"
SAYS SUFFRAGE PAPER

In these days of the capitalistic
press, when the vicious and ~subversive
interests carry on their subtly poison.
Gus propaganda through the pages of
the daily newspapers, there is a grave
danger in learning how to read. The
constant perusal of falsehoOds results
in a biased attitude of mind, and, since
much of the matter that meets the
eyes of the average American at his
breakfast table is without any founda-
ton Of truth, it might be well for him
to abandon the gentle art of reading
In order to keep his mind clear.
It will be of interest to the readers
of the Maryland Suffrage News to get
the straight facts included in this
issue regarding the Farmers Nonpar-
tisan League, for the garbled state
ments chronicled by the daily news
papers in regard to this organization
are SO wide of the truth.
The opponents of the Nonpartisan
League, like the opponents of suffrage,
use as their principal weapons the
venomOuS darts of f%alsehDOd. They
accuse the Nonpartisan Leaguers of
being Bolslrevists, Free Lovers, I. w.
VS., and the like, but they consistently
fail to adduce any proof of their accu-
sations. They also attack the patriot.
ism of the members of the League, and
claim that they are pro-German, or
pro-Japanese, or what not. All of
which is arrant nonsense, but Very
convincing when seen in print.
While the American newspapers are
permitted without penalty to print
such malevolent untruths, the only way
out seems to be to fall in with the
present educational standards in Mary
land and to refuse rising generations
the opportunity Of learning how to
read.
PIunderbunding.
To upholders Of existing economic
injustice all proposed changes look
alike. The proposition may be sound
or unsound, fundamental or superb
cial, desirable or undesirable, if back
of it is a sincere desire to relieve vic.
tins of predatory privilege, the plum
derbund will fight it. And in fighting
the plunderbund is INSCRIPTIONS. In
New York state it fights with equal
vigor and venom the timid "welfare"
measure pushed by the League of
Women Voters, headed by Mrs. Frank
Vanderbilt, and the voters Of five legis-
lative districts who have elected So
cialist representatives. In North Da.
kota it fights the Nonpartisan League,
In Minnesota it also fights the Non
partisan League, and happening to
have the power, does not scruple to
prosecute speakers and writer's. In
California it fights the single-tax
amendment, and in order to gain it's
point, strives to deprive the people of
the initiative and referendum. And
throughout the nation i, is actively n
gagged in stirring up ignorant preju-
dice against radical thought of all
kinds, and waging a formidable and
dangerous fight to turn the United
States into a duplicate Of Russia under
the Czar.-Maryland Suffrage News.
