The editor of The Sun and

after making a business trip to
Two Harbors wrote in a recent is
sue of his paper:

have done there is any example of
the way it would work out in oth-

turn Socialists.
"When they took control the
city was bonded to the limit, some
of the bonds were overdue,, and
their balance in the banks was
overdrawn $40,000. A $500 order
for street improvement could not
be cashed until one of the saloon
keepers of the city 'backed it.'

Interesting things are taking
place in the supreme court The
league elected three members of
that body, a majority. The in-
coming justicea, headed by J. fi
Robinson, Fargo, announced that
the work of the supreme court for
December would be declared null
and void. The new court is now
in office and a motion for reop-
ening a case has been argued
This is one of the most interest-
ing cases in the history of the
state, involving Ex-Oov. Hanna
in a suit for 1250,000, known aa
the Tonmans-Hanna bank case.
THE GREAT ADVENTURE.
(To The Rebel)
Fargo, N. D., Jan. 1. — The
Farmers' Nanpartisan Political
League of North Dakota, which
at the last election wrought such
a sensational overturn in the poli
tics of the state, is to earry into
practice in its own affairs some
of the cooperative theories it
holds.
In the next legislature of North
Dakota, which assembles at Bis-
Marck Jan. 2, the league has a
clear majority in each house. It
has now undertaken to care for
its members on a novel plan of co-
operation. It has. leased a hotel at
nismarck and will operate it for
the exclusive use of its legislators
and their families and of visitors
to Bismarck that are members of
the lesgue. The cost will be ap-
portioned among the guests, who
will thus be assured of the great-
est comfort \at the smallest ex-
pense. No league member com
ing to Bismarck will be expected
to live anywhere but at the league
hotel.
The plan will have strong no
rial and other advantages asidi*
from economy. All the league !e
gislators will be under one roof
They will be easily gathered for
caucus or other purposes.
It yrill also keep off the reser
vat ion any prowling lobbyist or
agent of the interests on any
member of the flock.
The league preparing a leg-
islative program that if carried
out will certainly make North shonld have free access to the
Dakota the center of the conn- lend and the Nation should coin
No, 283 is a hummer "The
Great Adventure", well played
up in Texas is calculated to stir
up something, and I think you
have made a very good start with
No. 283. If "The Great Adveu-
ture" coald be printed in box car
letters on the reverse side of ev
ery envelope sent out by the
workers for the restoration of
the land, and printed on every
bill-board and every other avad-
able public place, and every other
means that an awakened people
could devise to focus the eyes of
the people on the State Legisla
ture for a while I believe it would'
keep down the bogus Prohibition
question long enough to awaken*
the masses to the over shadowing
questions of land and a just fi-
nancial system. Every man

it can't loot foreign countriji,
then it win loot the nation that
was fool enough to create it, for
loot B must for an army has no
other way of "earning" its living
except by looting. Loot is an ar-
my's business. Put that in your
pipe, and smoke it and, also, take
note that the munitions trust is
always and in all lands oue of the
strongest andf most patriotic di-
vision* of the army. An army'*
business is loot "If this be trea-
son make the most of it"
Free Labor presupposes FREE
LAND, just as Tenantry on the
farms presupposes peonage in the
mills and factories. As Jadgs
Crosson so well puts it: "The
Land—by that I mean everything
from Hell to Heaven—I want- !
ALL for the free use of ALL
Mankind." Take back the land!
"To the Victors belong the
spoils" ."They take who leave
power and they ke®p who can.
