THE RETIRING OFFICIALS

Tomorrow, unless the supreme court
intervenes, the Nonpartisan League
industrial commission will retire from
office. Two of them, Governor Frazier
and Commissioner Hagan, have for
five years been in the offices from
which they will retire, fighting con-
stantly against desperate odds for
program which they were pledged to
carry into effect, while Attorney Cen
eral Lemke has held his office for one
year, in that short period accomplish
ing a prodigious amount of work.
So far as their own personal case
goes, each Of these men will be better
out of office than in. They were not
elected to serve their own ambitions,
and they did not do so Innumerable
opportunities came to them to COM
promise their principles, to ease up a
little in the fight, but they spurned
he mall, and kept their pledges to the
people, to battle without surrender for
the platform on which they were elect
ed.
Because of their unbending stand,
and because Of the tremendous power
that big business was able to bring to
bear against them, they have been
temporarily defeated. But the defeat
is only temporary. Much will be made
by the opposition Of such mistakes as
these officials have made, or r al
legged to have made. But no admins
tration was ever perfect in everything.
Unfortunately the hard times were
general over the nation, and the Wall
Street boycott of North Dakota's
bonds, enabled the opposition to mag
nifty everything the administration
had done or failed to do, and to place
upon them the blame for agricultural
conditions that exist-in most cases
much more seriously-in every state
of the union.
Time will bring a better Judgment
of things. IF the League officials re-
tire, the /. v. A. officials will take Of
flee. And it will then become the duty
of the latter to face the hard times,
and bring some relief to farmers. Up
on them will rest the blame for con-
ditions for which they r not alto
gether to blame-but which can right
ly be blamed for the most part upon
the shoulders Of their big business
supporters. The only way in which
they can escape the blame, however,
is by energetically going forward,
along the lines laid down by the Nom
partisan League officials, to bring re-
lief to the farmers. And does anyone
believe they will be even a tenth part
as successful in this as the retiring Of
ficials have been?

What the future will disclose as the

for the entire nation, they have blazed
