WHAT SORT OF SECURITY?
The solicitor to eanvaa&iBg (or membership in the
Nonpartisan loague veto them where hs CM find thus.
He canvasses his territory ae long as he feels he can ob
tain remits, and overlooks no one who in his opinion may
possibly be induced to join the organization. He takes
caste where be can get it. It may bo accepts*} ae.a (act
that in most cases the well-to-do farmer will, pay cash.
.This is not invariably the case, hut it must be so usually.
The fee (or a two year membership is $1C, a?d a farmer
who is in sood financial circumstances will usually pre.
"ter to pay 916 in cash rather than to ask for time on it
Those who cannot pay cash giws some form of written
obligation a note or a postdated check. The solicitor is
not interested in the financial standing of the men who
sign these papers. They may be in cood circumstances,
and their credit may be first class. They may be insol
vent or on the verge of becoming so. They may be one
year tenants who will have moved from the state before
their paper becomes due. The solicitor pays no attention
to this. He takes the paper where it is offered, and turns
it in.
The league officials with whetn this paper is deposited
i»&ve no personal relations with the signers and anless
they become acquainted with those signers in some other
way, and for some other purpose, they do not know
them. They have no means of investigating their finan
cial standing, or of estimating their credit. From each
solicitor these managers receive many of these signed
papers. The total runs into the thousands in number, and
into the hundreds of thousands in face value.
The league aSicials take a bundle of this paper to a
bank and ask for a loan upon it. The banker has no
possible opportunity to know anything about the paper

THE SOFT COAL SITUATION
The calling of a strike of the bituminous coal miners
for October 31. is not quits conclusive. Two weeks re
main before the time fixed for the strike to take effect,
and during that tinje efforts will be made to bring about
«n agreement.^ Hie, situati/m differs from that in the
'steel industry among other things in that both employers
and employees in this case lhave accepted the principle
of Arbitration and are at once to confer on details. The
secretary of labor with the concurrence of both parties
hag resumed jurisdiction. The "procedure will be under
the law malting provision for arbitration in both cases.
.In the meantime preparation for the strike will go on.
The cessation of soft coal production would be a
blow at the vitals of the nation. To stop production
would cripple every industry, would throw hundred* of
thousands of men out of employment, and bring untold
mifiery to a vast multitude of people. Every proper con
sideration demands that this thing be averted. There
ought to be a method whereby such a calamity cotSd- be
... prevented with absolate certainty. There are naturally
obstaejes to the working of productive enterprises which
sometimes prevent or delay operations for long periods.
In such cases every effort is devoted to the removal of
the ebetacles. Their existence is recognised as exceed
ingly unfortunate and their result has been disastrous,

orial te Theodore Roosevelt, Juat they had a special

ti»a. Because, o( Roosevelt's brief residence in North
Dakota our people have taken pleMure in claiming him

mere-(act of residence alone, would not hive been war
ranted. But in this cue there was moVe then the eeei

priate, too, that Just now, when his voice i« silent and hi*
hand stilled, that through the instrumentality of the steps
Which are being taken to provide such a memorial, treeh
emphasis should be placed on the principles to which
Theodore Roosevelt devoted his life.
No work that can be constructed by hunrjap hands,
no matter what its beauty, no metter what its utility, can
do more than typify the character of Roosevelt and thJ
regard in whidj- he is held. But in making prorisibn for
the emblem, the ideals which the man held constantly
before himself and those who knew him will be brought
more clearly within the field of our vision, lie was a
great American, and Americanism, in its highest and best
sense, will be promoted by the memorial movement.
The Booeevelt memorial will be a popular memor
ial. No other would be appropriate. Roosevelt's services
weje to the whole people, and aiL the people are to have
art opportunity to aid In making this tribute of affection
and respect. And In so doing all the people will be brought
closer in touch with that virile spirit of Americanism,
which is sadly needed just now.
THROUGH EASTERN EYES
The one word which most accurately characterizes
the attitude of the eastern press toward the political de
velopments in North Dakota as they/manifested them
selves in their early stages some three years ago is "su
pereilHousnees." Among the eastern papers there may
have been a few exceptions, but the general attitude was
that of :csty superiority And disinterested detachment.
And this was the prevailing attitude whether the element
of sympathy existed or not. Some of the representative
eastern papers regarded the North Pakota socialistic
movement in its inception as a spontaneous movement on
the part of the farmers of the state for the redress of
grievances. .Seme considered it merely a freakish dis
turbance, attributable to no common cause, and likely to
be of brief duration. Some believed that the farmres
were being hoodwinked by unscrupulous adventurers.
Articles were written from various standpoints, ranging
from frank sympathy to undisguised antagonism. But
through practically the whole series there ran the note
of patronising superiority and tolerant amusement, a (eel
ins. Similar tc that with which the grown person^ may
view the antics and escapades of a child, holding them
interesting, possibly amusing, but not at all important
Today a different note is being struck in much of the
eastern comment. Our eastern friends seem at last to be
realizing that North Dakota is a part of the United States,
and that its people are, after all, not so very different
from other people. There exists more than a suspicion
that the sort of appeal that is effective in North Pakota
may, with proper allowances for differences in occupation,
be equally effective in Ohio or New Jersey. There is a
sort of vague understanding that in character and method
the men who. op the basis of a propaganda of class an.
tagonisro have revolutionised a state government, are
practically identical with the "men who make a business
Of closing (ictories and holding great industries by the
throat in order to maintain themselves in positions of
power\»nd ewe.
If the note of superciliousness has not been entirely
silenced, "its tppes have been very much subdued, and
there seems to be dawning a retaliation that the preach,
ipg of the doctrines of destruction anywhere within the
borders o( the United Stages cannot safely he viewed with
indifference by any citizen- of the republic.
It i» high time for thl» change. It is tfcae that tfce
conception of tbis as one country carried with it the
realisation that the citlsens of our country must work
together, with and for 't&ch other, instead of devoting
their energies to the tearing down of what other hands
have built. And it is gratifying to note that eastern people.
Who have been a little slow in reaching the proper frame
tf mind give evidence of waJiing up.

looked o» the whole Towpjey movement as a joke.
