B. 172. 7 TOO STRONG FOR THE LEAGUE Senate Bill No. 197 has been!withdrawn by Mr. Hagan, author of the famous House Bill 44 as being a trifle too strong? It is generally thought that the “Burleigh county Eds” framed this in preparation for the Bismarck city election next | spring. When the Eds controlled the election officials it was rumored at least that the election officials controlled the elections. Whether that is just a town suspicion or a fourth ward tradition con- ‘ cerns-few. Lately Bismarck elections have been “above suspicion.” But to get back te Senate -Bill 172,*which is: re ported to have come from State’s Attorney Al len’s bill factory and which Sen. Hagan withdrew Thursday, there is reflected the political acumen of the “Burleigh county Eds.” The terms of the bill aré so “Edesque.” This apparently innocent and innocuous bill in- spired by the self-styled league leader in Burleigh * county, was too raw for Mr. Hagan himself. Like any gentleman after sighting the cloven hoof, he promptly pulled it out of the hopper and consigned it to oblivion. The bill provided: “In precincts in cities and in unorganized town- ships, the board of county commissioners shall at the April session of said board next preceding a primary election and general election appoint in each precinct, as inspector of elections, some quali- fied elector of such precinct.” The inspector in turn under the bill names the judges. j How clever of the Eds to take away from the f city commission the’ right to‘‘name the’ election { officials and‘ deliver that’ privilege over to'a coun-' ty board dominated by the Eds. Sen. Hagan refused.,to. be .a.party., to any such. second story. political.practice. Apparently, the league refuses to pull any chest- nuts out‘of the fire for the “Burleigh county Eds.” The measure evidently was too strong for them. n fact, it would work as "much against the in- \terests 6f?/the Yéague in ie poctions of the state , as it would} work for th But what is. the league to the Eds when their political prestige at home hangs inthe balance? The cootie, the flu germ and the promised sev- enteen-year locust will help us to understand why ; Egypt let them go. BEATING AN EMPTY BARREL Take an empty barrel and beat it with a stick | and you get a good big lump of racket. Now fill the same barrel with water or anything and again beat it. The noise you get wouldn’t fill a good sized bathroom. And what sound is & givengcut is not offensive to your ears. & Buggy with a worn wheel will make more “speaks.than the wheels of a dozen carriages whose| hubs and.axles are working in harmony. Do ou see what we are getting at? When you meet a man or woman who does a lot of talking—foolish talking—you can rest as-! sured that the source of that continuous stream of words is pretty empty. = Also=an organization that is making a lot of noise in the community and not getting ahead very fast has a wheel or two that needs repair- ing or replacing. To the individual we would say—talk only enough to get the other fellow tc give you his best knowledge. To the organization—if there is a squeak in your plant, fix it at once. This proposal to make Pershing a candidate seems to have the outspoken approval of every- body except Pershing. TAKING NO CHANCES A “Non-Partisan League” in North Dakota is seeking to establish a comprehensive system of state socialism in that progressive commonwealth. Evidently it doesn’t want the federal government to get ahead of it—Harvey’s Weekly. The probability that 200,000 of our boys will marry French girls suggests the logical way of forming a league of nations. i ‘Gourand and Foch cling to the conviction that a few leagues of German territory will be more "fective than a league of nations.

The thing has al- ways been a sharp bone in Great Britain’s craw, because the territory would complete her terri- torial chain from Cairo to Cape Colony. . The ter- ritory has contained some 7,000,000 natives, all pretty black, and about 200,000 Germans, more or less white, and, conscientiously speaking, the ques- jtion at Paris‘is not as to whether the 7,000,000 0) shall get self-determination but as to whether Great Britain‘shall run the country, as she. doés India, Ireland, Egypt and similar self-determined peoples, or the region shall come under the guar- dianship of the league of nations. Of course, you’ve got to look upon those.7,000,- {000 East Africans as a legitimate part of “the white man’s burden,” that Germans, who first appropriated them, aren’t ;concerned in their final disposition. America went inte it for a principle. will get principal and interest. France You deserve no credit for being good unless you are tempted to be bad.

PCTS TSR ER | WITH THE EDITORS | Se | : 'THE AUTOMOBILE SHOW Probably not many people, even in Minneapolis, know that the annual automobile exhibition in this city is the biggest affair of, its kind in America, and probably when they shave learned this they will wonder at it until they learn the further fact that Minneapolis is the largest automobile dis- \tributing point in America; that the automobile ‘business, by which is meant the sales during the jpast year, aggregate $150,000,000, of which $98,- 000,000 was in automobiles alone and the balance in tires and accessories, etc. . But that doesn’t tell the whole siory of the:in- dustry. Related to the automobile is the tractor, the new motive power of the farm. With respect jto this industry also Minneapolis is. both the larg- lest manufacturing and largest distributing center in the United States. These are facts which. should at imulate.the ‘in- terest of thd, ‘people of Minneapolis and the North- west in theigreat exhibiti Which is to open in this city February 15. The old Exposition’ build- ing, in.which Minneapolis years ago held an annual exhibition that drew immense crowds to see. the industrial. exhibit, and which. on, its merits, re- flected great credit upon this city, is to house this year’s automobile show. ..... re : The suceé this enter rests chiefly upon its power to diaw visitors froni‘all,over the North- west. There is probably no product of industry in.general-Ysé in which more interest is taken ‘than in the automobile, and the exhibition of the new patterns for 1919 is ‘expected to bring to the city more visitors than have been attracted by any previous exhibition of this kind. ! | In lcoking for the reasons for the volume of ‘automobile business in Minneapolis and for the jinterest of the people of the Northwest, we find both these accounted for by the wonderful wealth of production of this region during the past year. 1A government report for October covering the states of Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana, estimated the average farm receipts of this re- gion for the six leading crops of wheat, oats, rye, jbarley, flax and corn at $3,737. In Minnesota, which we think of as a great wheat state, the corn crop excelled in value the wheat crop by more than $10,000,000. Taking the figure 100 as the average price of the composite crop production of the United States, this report shows that the composite price of all farm crops in Minnesota in 1918 was 122 4-10 per cent, of Wisconsin 110 5-10 per cent, of North Dakota 109 8-10 per cent ,of South Dakota 139 mination of the peoples as to their government! which is as good as saying | race a LETTERS FROM | “SOMEWHERE” | IN FRANCE) 0 FROM ARTHUR HARTLEY | Germany, Dec. 15, - 1918.

The company clerk is al- ways in luck if he knows how te £0 about it. On December 13th we cross- ed the Rhine river, thus fulfilling one of the Anferican boasts, that of cross- ing the Rhine before Christmas. In all since the 11th of November we have hiked well over 500 kilometers 4-10 per cent. Outside of this group the highest percentage was that of Indiana, at 108 5-10. Only 13 states excelled the standard figure of 100. This helps to explain why Minneapolis is the largest automobile distributing center in the Unit- ed States and why the automobile men did busi- ness in the past year to the amount of $150,- { 000,000. It suggests, too, that the tractor indus- try, which is now centered in this city, has possi- bilities of growth which it would be difficult. to over-estimate. It will occupy a large place in the automobile show and as a factor in the industrial growth of Minneapolis is deserving of great, con- sideration. ~ In connection with the automobile and tractor show there is to be also an industrial exhibit made up from the many and varied industries of this ciyt. The opportunity for these various industries jto identify themselves with this exhibition and profit from the interest which the automobile and tractor display has aroused and the attendance which it will attract is expected to bring into the exhibition a splendid showing of the industrial in- terests of this city. . The opportunity is one not to be lightly regarded, in view of the quality of the attendance and in view of the conditions which obtain in the Northwest at the present time by reason of the enormous returns from agriculture jin an era of high prices—Minneapolis Tribune. and figuring 8 kilonteters to five miles we have hiked about 350 miles.
