Something Wrong.

There is something radically wrong.
We do not know where the trouble lies,
or; how to remedy it, but we do know
that the farmer is getting raw deal.
The price Of farm products are alto
Egether too low: They are away below
the cost of production: The farmer
is certainly entitled to fair price and
legitimate profit on what he has to SELL
If some one will point out to US the
way to bring about change we prom
Use that we shall do what we can to
alter the condition. True, our efforts
would be feeble, but if We could enlist
the support Of the press throughout
the state and nation something would
happen soon.-Winnebago Enterprise.

Are Our Boys on the Rhine Content?
Do the American troops stationed
on the Rhine want to get back to their
native land? When one has read all
the pros and cons on the subject he is
probably just as far from reaching a
decision as at the outset. Yet pre-
sumably the soldiers know their own
mind and are in the same decisive
state as the Duke of York's soldiers,
who when they were up the hill were
up, and when they went down they
were down. There is.>a strong con-
sensus of military opinion, however,
backed by barrack room ballad or
two, that they>ar far better off where
they are than if they were eating sand
somewhere on. the Mexican border"
If that is so, some traditions as to the
hardships of the lot of soldier on
foreign service and his longing for
home are being: badly upset. During
the great war the typical English
soldier was credited, with devising all
sorts of ingenious plans which would
remove him from muddy Flanders
fields to the beloved shores Of "Bligh-
ty." The public, therefore, cannot be
blamed if perhaps it gives credence
rather to the earlier pictures of the
American soldiers who were declared
to be doing all they could to wind up
what to them was the particularly OBJ
jectionable watch on the Rhine

The First.Step.
The defeat of the nonpartisan league
in North Dakota last week is just be-
ginning Of the steps that will have to
be taken to get that state<back on a
firm footing and itsspeople in condi-
ton where they cam compete :: with
present day conditions. The farmers
of that state had, and still have, just
grievance. They seized the aprecepts
Of the league as last straw, but that
has failed them and it will be up to
Governor Nestos and his able advisors
to present a solutiona 1t is safe to say
that some<of the league program will
be retained, but the administration of
the affairs of the state will be so con-
Quoted that there will not be the enor-
nous leakage so apparent during the
past few years. It is astonishing to
discover the thousands upon thousands
of dollars that have, been wasted un-
der the Townley administration. The
finances Of the state are shaky to
say the least and the first effort of the
new government will be to correct the
evils that now exist in the financing
system. Governor Nestos is an able
man and he is surrounded by set of
able assistants. If the task can be
accomplished, and everything is posi-
bic, he will be able to get the state up
on solid basis, but his election and
the reputation Of the league is but
the first step in long program.-Be-
