After sneering in it's most cynica
manner at the charge that the farm
ers Of North Dakota have been rob
bed Of 300 900 on the 1920 crop
the Fargo Forum, the defender Of thu
and big bankers, continues
Also if the farmers have been
"robbed" Of $20o,000,O00, who per-
mitted this robbery? The Non
partisan League has been in alb
solute control of all branches of
the state government for four
years. What has it done to bet
ter marketing conditions and make
such a robbery" impossible?
The Devils Lake world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1920-1982, 1921-03-23

Despite the bitter opposition of the
Forum and its gambler-banker back
ers the League has done a number of
things to better marketing conditions.
It's grain grading and dockage law
saves the farmers several millions of
dollars annually. The state hail in
surance law, saves in the neighbor-
hood Of $5,000,000 each year. Its
railroad rate law is saving at the rate
of about 100000 per month. These
sums may appear insiSnificant in
view Of the 5000, zoo, 00G robbery by
the Forums friends, but North Dako-
ia farmers would be just that much
worse off but for the League.
The League has attempted to give
farmers cheap credit and cheap farm
loans, thru the Bank of North Dakota.
It has attempted to give them state
mills and elevators, where they could
save the immense toll taken by the
mill and elevator trust. It has at.
tempted thru the home building as.
ISOLATION to help them improve thei,
farms, and to make it easier for rent.

of the marriage of Miss Beryl Crisis
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Walter

CRITICISM

Mr.. Editor:-There are two kinds
of Criticisms one is coidemn while
the other is praise. In this
article l shall use both. In First
Thessalonians, we read prove all
things; hold fast to that which is
good. This may be applied to both
spiritual and well as temporal affairs.
The Legislature of 1921 did some
good work that deserves our approval
One of the best things it did was to
enact law providing severe penalties
on the automobile fiend. All we need
now is men to administer this law
without fear or favor.
Chapter 1873, Acts Of 1921 is to be
applauded; In one of my schools l
had a boy upon whom the sins OF
his father had been visited. This
child was a terrible example OF ven
ereal diseases.
Chapter 80, Of the same session IS
a disgrace to any body of sane man,
It should have it's title changed to'AN
ACT TO encourage immortality among
children. It leaves young girls ex-
posed to the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF boys
is, years Of age, during the Critical
period Of their lives-12 to Is, years
than any other period of their lives
A crime for which boy 16 years OF
age the penalty is death, the boy OF
Is is immune.
There are two things that will
stand sshead and shoulders above all
others in the next state campaign
The Private Mine Guard and the
Pubic Service Commission, must go.
The School Law must be changed
to curtail the power of the State
Board of Education. We have too
much bureaucracy" in our State Gov
eminent. The common people must
rule.
l hope our "helmsmen" will exa-
mine their "chart" an aviod wreck
of the Old Ship of State, for we need
not except an relief from the discred-
tied party of WOODROW" the
GREAT(?)
am a REPUBLICAN, but do not
endore all that is done by men who
are Republicans in name only.
