In the New York Times we find this:
'There is deeper viciousness and a
larger variety of vice in the Ford
ney bill than in any Of the acts
which bear the name of Mckinley,
Dingley and Payne-Aldrich." This
statement can only be accounted for
by the fact that the Times believes it
is positively wrong to pass any law
that will encourage American indus
tries and agriculture rather than to
enrich the imparting and international
banking interests centering in New
York city. Fortunately this is a code
OF ethics which does not generally pre-
vail beyond the especial influence of
business interests which seek to pros
per at the sacrifice of domestic pro-
duction. Consequently the political
party which shares the antipathy of
the Times to the protective policy has
been able to name only two presidents
in the last 70 years, and both of them
dragged that party down to defeat at
the close of their administrations.

Can man produce rain? That is
a question which 80 far does not ap-
pear to have been satisfactorily solved
Some contend that rain can be pro-
duced by bombardment of the heavens
and some that it cannot. However
this may be, Medicine Hat, Canada
has a professional rainmaker named
Hatfield, who entered into an agree.
ment with the United Agricultural as.
ISOLATION of that place whereby he
was to receive $4,000 if he produced
four inches Of rain between May 1 anc
August 1. Four and quarter inches
have fallen and Hatfield will receive
his pay. Some Of the members of the
association contend, however, that
Hatfield is not entitled to take re.
sponsibility for the precipitation as
1T was general throughout the west
and did not come when it was needed
We entertain the belief that Hatfield
had no more to do with that rainfall
than we did, but is merely a lucky
bird.

OPINIONS OF EDITORS
A Worthy Cause

The newspapers of the state are
giving publicity to the fund that is
being raised to build a school for
crippled children as memorial for the
late Michael Bowling. There can be
no more worthy cause than this. The
life of the late Michael Bowling was
an inspiration. Crippled in early
youth, he conquered every difficulty,
and made himself a national figure.
There are many crippled children in
Minnesota who are deserving of an op-
portunity to make good. You can help
these children by contributing towards
the school, ard you will also aid at the
same time in keeping green the mem

Lord Northcliffe has put his foot in
it, as the saying goes. Last week in
his paper, the London Times, he made
an editorial attack on Lloyd George
and Lord -Curzon, saying they should
not be permitted to attend the Wash
ington conference on disarmament as
representatives Of the empire. AS a
consequence the Times, Daily Mail and
Evening News, all controlled by
Northcliffe, have been notified that
hereafter they will be denied the
privilege of receiving official news
from the government. Then, again,
an invitation to Northcliffe, who. is
now in this country, to- be a guest at
the British embassy while in Washing
ton, has been recalled. This is no
more than Northcliffe deserves. For
a long time his principal aim has
apparently been to stir up trouble in
the nation by attacking prominent
government officials through the me-
dunn of his publications.

"A FRANK STATEMENT"

The Nonpartisan Leader, national
weekly, has published an appeal for
money. In the issue of July rs there
appears the following frank state
ment" to the readers printed in big
red letters: "The time has come to
tell our readers frankly that the de-
preston which is now widespread and
general has put the whole machinery
of the nonpartisan league, including
it's press, in grave peril"
The Leader is evidently sounding
the danger signal; the league cannot
be having exactly smooth sailing. Fhe
truth is, thousands of intelligent far
mers, loyal citizens. who joined the
league in good faith, have become
thoroughly disguised with that or
-ganization and are now dropping out
of it. If their pockets were filled with
money, they would not be renewing
their membership fees. These men
who have an innate sense of justice
and who like to see clean, fair play
rebel at the methods employed by the
league.
Neither the farmers nor any other
class of men are working under ideal
conditions. Each progressive group
will make an honest attempt to bet
ter its own conditions, but good citi-
zens of no one group are willing to
do this at the expense of the other
workers. Just on this point the non
partisan league has gone on the rocks
and every sane man knew it was
doomed to destruction. The leaders
of the nonpartisan league have
preached the gospel Of class conscious
ness and class hatred The smaller
echoes have taken up their refrain
and here in Minnesota we have group
of men who have been attempting to
put this theory into practice by ar
raging the farmers in the agricultural
communities against the business men
in the small towns. The bulk of in
telligent farmers are thoroughly dis
gusted with the methods of the league
and they know that no progress can
be made with such tactics. These
members are dropping out of the
nonpartisan organization and the Of
ficers of the league see the ground
Slipping from under their feet. Their
house has been built on the sands and
will not stand.

Herbert Hoover, secretary of COM
merce, says that, as matter of pri-
mary duty, the government must drive
out of business every combination
which attempts to restrain trade
Herbert is right, but previous at
tempts by the government to accom-
pllsh this have proven Of very little
avail. Trusts have been prosecuted
and to all appearances dissolved into
smaller concerns, but only to continue
IN secret combination, making matters
worse than ever. However, with Mr.
Hoover secretary of commerce, a way
may be found Of "busting" these COM
blnes so that they will stay "busted."

to succeed Andrew Fritz as public ex-
aminer, is a man we'll qualified for the
position and no mistake was made in
his selection. He has been active in
republican politics for many years. In
1911 and 1913 he was a member of

running for speaker in the last named
year but being defeated by Henry
Rines by a few votes. During the war
