The indianapolis Star says that the
disarmament conference will be sue
cess if the men who attend it are as
big as the idea. So far as the United
States is concerned there will be some
men of big ideas in that conference.
A movement is on foot to place a
,ust of J. w. Brinton in the Hall OF
'ame at Bismarck. He is the only
nan in the state who has licked the
league leaders to a finish up to this
time.
One of the best places to express

gently at the polls. says the Chicago
News. which reminds US that on the
28th of this month at the recall cleo
ton the people of North Dakota will
have a chance to do that same thing
The slate makers who are planning
about putting a candidate in the field
against Congressman Young. are but
ting their head up against stone wall:
We just give the politicians that KIND
of tip in advance. Mr.. Young IS
making too good a record in congress
for some untried man to come along
and knock him off his job. 1t can't be

Chairman Leiderbach issued another
statement last Saturday. He az
nounced the following as the League
creed in the present campaign: mo
farmer ever saw lousy calf improve
until the lice were first gotten rid OF
Lousy chickens don't lay eggs, neither
do wormy hogs fatten." Couple this
statement with the fact that Lleder-
bach is the man who, during the
shakedown meeting in Fargo in 1919
carried through the principal streets
a banner with an clubhouse painted on
it, and you have the standard set by
the Frazier-Lemke-H agan crowd.-ln-

Mr.. Lemke in one of his speeches
recently, said that anybody who would
subscribe for the Fargo Forum was
not fit to raise family. If that were
true there would be a great many
heads of families in this county and
in the state who would be in the unfit
class. We presume that Lenlke's red
flag sheet, managed by Aaron Lieder-
bach, and which has stood for all those
things that the wobblies advocate with
the sanction of the governor of the
state, is fitting newspaper for man
to read and gives him the proper
standing for raising family.
The Record man spent short time
in Steele last week. While we were
in the Kidder county town, we were
informed that the nonpartisan ele-
ment up there were already laying
their plans for next years campaign.
We were informed that Fay Harding
was being touted for congress against
Geo. M. Young. We were told that
Sherman, the Kidder county member
in the house, was to be given Wards
job as senator, and that H. B. Hanson
who sold out the old Kidder County
Construction League, was to get Sher-
mans place in the house. 1t may be
true that the league will put Harding
up as the forlorn hope against Geo. III.
Young, but we should certainly hate
to hold our breath until Harding ever
gets elected.-Emmons County News
Editor McClintock, of the Fargo
Courier-New has decided that get
ting licked is not what it is cracked up
to be, so he has sworn out a warrant
against J, w. Brinton for assault and
battery. The way these former fell
low workers are flying at each others
threats is a caution. Mac is so voluble
about quoting scripture in his Sunday
morning editorials that he seems to
have lost sight of that scriptural in
junction IF a man smite you on the
left cheek turn around and let him
smite you on the right cheek" We
presume Mac gets somewhat mad
when he looks at his features in the
glass every morning and realizes that
Brinton had been impressing his opin-
ions on his face, so he thinks it will
sooth the pain if he gets J. w. con-
victed and fined for being so expert
with his fists. We suggest the Cour-
ier-News use as it's text for the edi

South Dakota might be held up as
a shining example to the farmers OF
North Dakota. That state has rural
credits department that has loaned
$s4,O0O,OO0 to it's farmers during the
past two years, and without tying up
a dollar Of public money. 1t has sold
thirty-six million dollars worth OF
Rural Credits Bonds. Other western
states and municipalities have sold
vast sums of their securities, while
our state officials have spent several
little fortunes trying to sell their
bonds and have made bungling mess
of it, although they say that they have
sold couple of million dollars worth
of bonds recently, which has cost the
taxpayers probably $150,00O to sell
them. That is how the present regime
in this state throws around our money
