This office received a letter from
our old friend, J. B. Berry the latter
, part of last week, from Rochester,
Minn., where he has been receiving
medical treatment. He said that he
was recovering rapidly and would
leave in a few days for his home at
White Bird, Idaho. “Baek” says:
“Thinking it might be of interest to
you and many of the old boys who
read your splendid paper to know how
► - some of the people stand on the
League of Nations, I’ll give it to you
as I took it on the train, coming here
from Idaho. I was five days and
nights on the train and the following
straw votes were taken. At Greens
ville, Idaho, 11 to 5 against the league.
From Lewiston, Mont., to Spokane,
Wash., 20 against the league and 5
for; Spokane to Livingston 20
against and 3 for; from Livingston to
Bismark 10 against and 3 for. From
Bismark to St. Paul was made in the
night and I did not take a poll. From
St. Paul to Rochester 27 against and
9 for. I find that ten per cent of the
democrats are opposed to the Wilson
league.”
DISOWNS HIS OWN PARTY.
St. Louis The passing of the demo
oiatic “part>; liar" to Sterling P.
Bond, former member of the legisla
ture and a life long democrat, not
only brought a refusal to contribute,
but a rather sharp note why he is con
tributing his money and influence to
the republican ticket this time, saying
among other things: “The miserable
and incompetent administration of
the government by the democratic
party is more than any American
should be called upoli to approve.”
Mr. Bond was defeated for the dem
ocratic nomination for United States
senator in 1910 by Senator James A.
Reed. His letter to Campaign Fund
Chairman Taylor follows, in part:
“The administration of the govern
ment under the present executive, and
the democratic party, has not only
been incompetent and sectional, but
without, the pale of the law. This
administration singled out a class—
the producers of the soil—the very
salt of the earth and national exist
ence—the producers of the great
North and West, fixedthepriceof their
property by a commission appointed
by an executive who assumed to know
it all, an executive who not only did
not know anything about production,
never having produced a bushel f>f
grain in his life, but was ignorant of
the laws of the land which prohibit
the taking of private property, or the
fixing of the price of private property
by a commission in war or peace.
Thus the present administration fixed
the price of the property of the pro
ducers of the soil, thereby confiscating
the value of their property in the
markets of the world, and that, too,
in the face of and contrary to the fifth
and seventh amendments to the writ
ten Constitution of the United States.
“Thus did the present executive and
democratic administration cheat and
defraud the producers of Missouri,
Illinois Indiana, Ohio and Oklahoma
_pach, out of 50 million dollars for
each of the years 1917, 1918 and 1919,
and the producers of other states, also,
in proportion to the amount produced
and the price fixed for their prop
erty. During the years 1917, 1918
and 1919 the producers of the soil in
the North and West were cheated out
of not less than 3 billion by this demo
cratic administration. This was the
quintessence of bolshevism.”
Hoped for the Best.
Everybody's Magazine: In a small
town not long ago, after a fire, some
children held a fair. The sum realized
they sent to the pastor of the church.
Their letter read:
“This $30 was raised by a fair, and
we are sending it to you. Please give
it to the fire sufferers.
“P. S.—We hope the suffering is not
all over.”
Maybe?
Buffalo Express: A New York baby
kicked his nurse so hard that 'she’s
suing the reckless rascal’s mother for
$10,000 damages. Do you suppose
somebody dropped a raisin in the kid’s
bottle?
