the big interest politicians have been
successful in greater or less degree in
using the association in it's prOpaean-
da to discredit in the public's mind
the Farmers NOn-Partisan League and
organized labor for trying to do for
themselves what the M. E. A. is try
ing to do for the publishers, to better
the conditions of their members as
we'll as to promote the general well
fare. Among the things the M. E. A.
did was to demand from the legislat-
ure higher rates for publication of le-
gal notices, a demand perfectly justi-
fled by existing conditions, but not al
together unselfish or altruistic as our
friend down the front street would
have us believe. On the other hand
its action against the establishment
of state paper mill showed some
what less business sense. We are
hoping that the day will again come
when all editors in this state, on
whichever side of the new alignment
of political lines they may be, will be
able to fraternize in the manner of
the days of "auld lang syne."
Be that as it may, the hostile atti-
tude of the local press towards the
Non-Partisan organization and the
unwarranted abuse of it's members,
has driven the farmers in thirty-three
counties where no existing newspap-
er would give them a fair hearing to
establish on a co-operative' basis or
gans that would voice their senti.
ments. What difficulties such enter.
prises encounter in the securing OF
trained newspaper men and mechan
les and placing same on a paying bas
is will be readily appreciated by any
one who knows anything about the
business. Together with independent
papers supported by labor in a mum
Der of cities, these papers constitute
the first line of defense of a move
ment which the members and sympa
thizers sincerely believe is working
towards a true solution of the great
economic questions confronting the
nation. These papers have naturally
many mutual interests and many pro
blems in common to solve. What
more natural than they should organ
ize an association? They are ridi
culed and abused by the old partisan
press for so doing. This will hell
them rather than harm them.

PRESIDENT WILSON

FnEoIOcNI "lISON
President Wilson retires from the
Presidents chair Friday, and Presi-
dent-elect Harding assumes the reins.
Wilson will go down as one of the
greatest presidents of the United
States. He will always be regarded
as great figure in the history of the
world, for his influence was potent in
forcing the policy of self-determina-
ton of smaller nations as far as it
was applied as result of the war and
his fourteen points" contributed lar
gely to the early surrender of our ene-
mics. Nearly every town of any size
in the new republics in Central Eur

on the lines of the United States,
have renamed some street or public
building in honor of President Wilson
says the National Geographic Maya
zine. : His breakdown in health and
failure to curb the profteers may
easily be attributed to the hostile at
titude of the powerful interests at
home who needed scapegoat and the
impotency for good government of the
old political machine to which he was
attached.

The
Soldiers Bride
BY HAZEL SMITH

O. 1921. Western Newspaper Unton.)
"Impossible!" shouted old Colonel
Saunders, chewing at his steel-gray
mustache ; and for the first time dur
ing forty years Of active service he
actually trembled. The horror of this
was more overpowering than the hiss
Of the Moro bolos Wken, drunk with
bhang, they closed in upon the Skin
mish line. "Impossible!" he muttered,
and sank back into his chair.
Outside the hot sun of the Philip
pines burned the parched land, send
ing its scorching rays into the white
washed house in which he sat. Upon
the table in front of him his orderly
had placed closely typed document
Of five pages. 1t was the findings Of
the court-martial which had sat on the
preceding day. 1t had passed SEN
tence Of death upon a certain William
Gilfoy for having Joined the Moro
forces and fired upon his former COM
rades. If Colonel Saunders affixed his
signature to the document the death
sentence would be carried out-not q
year hence, nor month hence, nor q
day hence, but now.
There was death in the quiet air, in
the hushed expectancy Of the camp ;
in the rows Of white-washed cells in
the barracks also, and in the barrack
yard, where grim post, like an enor-
nous carpenters square set upright,
creaked as the executioner tested the
mechanism of the trap.
His sweetheart !" muttered the
