A man who gave his name as

police early Sunday morning, in re-
Spouse to a telephone call from the
north part Of town. He is quite an
elderly gentleman, and is travelling
through from Sand Point, Idaho, to
Boston, Mass, where he claims he
has relatives. He has been on the.
road for some weeks now, and has
been sleeping outside during the en-.
tire trip. His hair resembles "Bol-
sheviki" reaching down his neck a
considerable distance. His shoes show
evidence of travel. When searched he
was found to have about $50 in cur
trency and silver on him. One pocket
book which he carried was so rusty
that it could hardly be opened, and
silver which it contained was mouldy.
He is clad in old clothes, and is GER
tainly tough looking specimen, and
the parties who called the police
thought he was crazy. His mind
seems, to be normal, however, and he
will perhaps be released today.

O,CONNoR NOT SILENT

The North Dakota Leader asks:
"Why is O'Connor silent ?" Bless you,
he is not silent. He has never been
silent when any important issue has
been up. He was not silent when the
Leader crowd tried to railroad thru
House Bill A; he was not silent when
the infamous. Brinton printing law
was being forced through a servile
Legislative body; he was not silent
when the Frazier crowd attempted to
nullify the constitution by passing a
bill making all measures enacted eff
fective ten days after the close Of the
legislative session, whether they con-
tanned emergency clauses or not; he
was not silent when the Townley-
Frazier Legislature passed the three
vicious laws that have since been re-
pudiated by vote Of the people. No,
no. O'Connor is not Of the silent kind.
He is not ranter; he is not lime
lighter. But when good cause needs
a champion or when bad cause must
be opposed, his record shows that he
is not afraid to speak. Unlike his
opponent, he has never raised his
voice to suggest "red revolution;" he
did not raise his voice in behalf Of
Kate O,Hare. When this was being
done O'Connor was speaking words Of
praise and cheer to the soldier boys

have no time for such action. Now

HAS A FAMILIAR RING

\
The kind of talk that Governor Cox
gave to North Dakota sounds familiar.
We have been getting it in this
state for four years.
It's the "old stuff, to use the slang
Of the street corner.
We have been hearing about "Big
Business" and "vested interests" and
"bought elections" for, many weary,
dreary months.
1t is cheap politics even for the
candidates for local and state Offices
to indulge in. It is sickeningly
cheap for candidate for the highest
Office in the gift of the people to re-
sort to this kind of demagoguery.
Governor Cox announces with a
triumphant gesture that he prefers
"the Golden Rule to the bay0net in
settling strikes" Just what he
means by that. we don't know. Prob
ably it is some reference to some at
tempt to call out the militia to pre-
serve order, and he is darkly limiting
that some Republican is responsible
for it. W. .a5
He assailed "Boss Barnes" of New
York. We don't know much about Mr..
odIIco3 wiz - Lll0 puUAAo1ACA VI Ola
Albany paper and republican boss
in New York state politics, but we'll
wager he ranks as high as Murphy of
Tammany hall and Tom Taggart, of
French Lick fame, to whom Mr.. Cox
owes his nomination. ,.
He then reiterates his charges about
big subscriptions from big corpora
tions, which charges he has utterly
failed to substantiate before the sen
ate Investigating committee.
He passes over the League Of Ma
tions controversy with one of the IA
miliar flag-waving stunts, announc-
ing that the treaty was won by Amer
lean soldiers and that the Republicans
are trying to throw it away, and tops
off with some twaddle about his COM
ing to the peoples front porch" in
stead of asking them to come to his.
It is about the kind of campaign
speech one would expect from an
average candidate for the position Of
town constable.
Maybe it will get the votes; the
same kind Of bunk has worked in the
past and probably will work again.
But we hate to think that the voters
of this republic are of the class intel
lestually that will respond to such
cheapness, and applaud such petty ap-
peals to prejudice and ignorance from
a man who seeks the Office Of presi-
dent of the United States of America.

Those who think this country wants
a Wilsonian league Of nations should
read the election returns of the past
few days in several states, which is
a pretty sure barometer of what the
people want. In New Hampshire SEN
ator Moses was renominated easily
on platform absolutely opposed to
any league Of nations whatsoever
either with or without any reserva-
tions. The fight, was straight out
and out one on that issue and the adj
ministration league advocates were
whipped to FRAGILE. In Georgia the
same issue came up and Thos. Watson
won out on an issue against the league
against the democratic Wilsonian cam
didate. Straws show which way the
wind blows and the republican party
welcomes the league issue this fall.
Democrats do not warm up any too
much on any issue that the people
want to know about and Candidate
Cox is spending his time in roasting
Harding and bowling about a cam
paign fund that is bagatelle COM
pared to the one Gov. Cox has behind
him. So far Mr.. Cox has met with a
rather lukewarm reception all through
the west and when he gets through
with his present tour he may arrive
at the conclusion that if he had re-
manned at home he would have made
more votes for himself. -

Congressman John Baer is waking
up now that he has been defeated in
the primaries for congress and is do
ing lot of playing to the galleries.
He now wants Attorney General Pal
, ner to prosecute the wheat gamblers.
Why has he waited for three years be-
fore he found out the wheat gamblers
needed to be prosecuted. Has the
fact that the people repudiated him at
the primary election started the
wheels buzzing in his head that he
must make some kind of play to the
galleries to get votes as an individual
candidate this fall. There is a great
opportunity for Mr.. Baer to ask Pal
mer to proecute all the profteers but
he seems to have overlooked all these
other evils in his desire to throw out
sop to the farmers of his district.
Palmer is just like Baer-forgets the
people only when he wants their votes.
! The time has gone past when "you
can catch old birds by chaf" using
the farmers in q igurative way as the
old birds. j. M. has been in congress
two terms and so far he has not set
the capitol building on fire by his elo-
quence in behalf of his constituents.
! Most of his speeches are made through
the columns of the league papers sent
out by the league bureau and sounds
much better in print than they do in
Washington.
Candidate Cox, of the democratic
party, and Candidate Harding, of the
republican party, have both visited
the Twin Cities and made their talk
at the state fair. There was not so
much enthusiasm displayed for either
OF them as presidential candidates
have received in the past, but both
men were scrutinized by those who
saw and heard them and we are of
the opinion from what we can CLEAN
from those who were there that Mr..
Harding did not suffer any by COM
parlson with his competitor for the
presidential seat. Mr.. Cox is a sort
OF lire eater and puts lot of bluff
and buster into his talks, evadine the
main issues that the people want to
know so much about and of what is
OF so vital to everybody-how he
will run the government If he should
by some stroke of fortune be elected
to the presidency. He uses his ham,
mer too much and confines most of his

fund of the republican party while he
endeavors to hide the Tanimany or

T. The officials in charge of the mill
and the state executive refuse to let
the auditor 60 through the books.
The editor was in Drake a few
days ago and this is the statement
from the leading citizens of the town.
Their statement follows and gives
an idea of the feeling of people who
get taste of State Socialism at first
hand. ~
Their statement:
"Drake lost three taxpaying citizens
and their taxes-got three socialist
non taxpayers in their place. The
city lost seven hundred and forty dol
lars in taxes as state owned institu-
tions ars exempt from taxation.
Formerly the mill had one engineer,
now has three, had one laborer, now
has four and had two millers, and
now has three. Formerly the book
keeper was paid $4,000 per month and
now is paid $105.00. Price of Drake
-four July 18th, $8:1O; price of Occi-
dent Flour July 18th, $8.05.
This does not look good for either
cheaper flour for consumer or higher
prices for wheat to the farmer

that stumped the state for the league
last summer. 1t will take more than

here too long and know too much
about the workings of the wiley Town

That the state taxes for state pur-
poses will be but a few tenths of a
mill less this year than last despite
the fact that upwards of 100000
will be derived from entirely new
sources is the assertion of F. E. Pack
ard, assistant attorney general and
formerly head of the tax commission.
Tax Commissioner George E. Wallace
has issued statement that the taxes
for state purposes will be about seven
tenths of mill. This might be true,
says Packard, if Wallace means the
actual salary expense Of state officers,
but he fails. to consider the operation
of departments, the so-called state in
dustries levies for the interest and
sinking fund, the soldiers bonus, and
the more or less healthy deficits of
nearly every department and institu-
ton. Last year the total levy for
all state purposes was 2.4125. This
year it cannot fall much below 2.
"Wallace and the nonpartisan league
should not shout too loudly about
economy" says Packard. In the face
of failure to reduce the state taxes,
the powers that be will have the ac-
counting Of roughly $4,000 revenue
from the income tax, $4,000 from
the stock and bond tax; and $416,00O
from the oil tax, which will be added
to the general fund, all of which is an
entirely new source of revenue.

The Courier-News is Growing this
morning over the fact that some OF
the nonpartisan-LaFollette candidates
in Wisconsin seem to have their NOM
nation cinched. In the figures Civ
en- we note that the margin by which
most of their candidates are leading is
about a thousand votes-not very
comfortable lead, but of course it
might be increased-or supposing it
should be decreased. The fact that
their candidates won out in such a
field is no big surprise. With the field
split up with so many candidates
and with the LaFollette forces sup
porting the nonpartisans, it is won
der that the state was not entirely
swept by these forces. However, like
in Minnesota, the leagues strength
had been over estimated and the peo-
pie refuse to have the brand of Town
leyism stamped on them. The
strength of Townley seems to be CEN
tered pretty we'll here in North Dako-
ia, but that it is steadily weakening
is evidenced by every state election

WHEAT EXPORTS CONTINUE

Thursdays clearances of wheat as
reported yesterday were 1,243,000
bushels also $4,000 barrels of flour or
total of 100000 bushels of wheat.
Since July 1st, 1920, the United
States has exported over 85,000,000
bushels of wheat. The government
report Of conditions on September LIST
shows a total crop Of 770,0O0,000
bushels, against 930,0O0,000 bushels
in 1919. 1t is probable that the for
eign countries have contracts covering
the balance Of our surplus and that
any further sales must be at the ex-
pense of. our own requirements. We
are now contracting for wheat in Can
ada to help take care of our flour trade
in North Dakota and Minneapolis.
It would seem advisable, for our
home folks to purchase their -four this
month for the next twelve months, so
that. they can smile over the matter if
flour advances to $25 or $50 per bar
rel, 1876 lbs, next spring.
