LOCAL district attorney
in the state of Washing
ton recently declared in
quite un-American fash
ion that with the new
espionage law, he could
ruin any man by "pointing the finger
of suspicion at you through the press
and the mischief would be done." He
then hastened to add, "We are not
going to abuse this power," but on
August 13 he pointed the finger at
farmer William Bouck, master of the
Washington state Grange, by means
of an indictment for alleged seditious
utterances, and ever since the kept
press of Washington has been trying
to ruin this man before the case can
be heard.
The Grange farmers of Washington,
however, are determined that Presi
dent Bouck will not be ruined thus,
and that he will get a fair trial even
though he is a poor man. Following
the indictment, representatives of the
Grange from every part of the state
met at Seattle to. go over the matter.
They appointed a special committee of
15 to handle thedefenseand have
called upon every1 member of the
Grange in the state to contribute not
less than $1 to a special-defense fund
to be sent to Treasurer Fred Nelson,
R. F. D. No. 6, Seattle, Wash.. The
following is a part of the public ap
peal by the committee:
"Brother Bouck absolutely denies
that he ever made at Bow, or else
where, a single one of the statements
with which he is charged in the indict
ment. He is a poor man, and if re
quired to bear the expense of defend
ing his suit he will have to sell his
farm, and it will take every cent he
has in the world. His friends in the
Grange feel that he would not have
been singled out and those charges
preferred against him by the individ
uals who went before the grand jury
had he not been prominent in- the.
work of the Grange. It is, we believe,
but just that the members of the
Grange should shoulder the

The arrest of Grange Master Bouck
.is badly discounted by the way the

have been persecuting farmers and
workers and inciting to mob violence.

A DIRECT HIT
Mapleton, N. D.
Editor Farmers' Dispatch:
The method you have adopted as*^-..
regards the Nonpartisan league is one^3'
of the leading causes of revolutions. ...
Had reform forces resorted to the
same tactics we would be in the midst
of revolution today. Through all the ^tt
rioting and the use of force to pre
vent the constitutional right of fftee
speech, there was not one word from
you. Not one tangible argument has
been enunciated by you to refute, the
justice of the demands of reforms.
Falsehood and bombast have been
your stock in trade. Having worn out
the "disloyalty" howl, you now pros
titute, your manhood by employing a
Benedict Arnold in the hope of en
gendering discord and disruption in
refoAn ranks. The tail of an expir
ing boa constrictor wiggles last.
i^flome members of the League to .dis
credit their own checks, and in some.
-cases have returned the .checks un
J'lraid without consulting the members
..,'i}when they had ample funds in the
^vhank to meet the checks We helieve
fi%thi8 condition should be brought to
ifysthe attention of the members, espe
jTig^cially the newly solicited members, in
yiiiotdet that vfhese unf^T, bulldozing
