(Established 1878) » ON THE RIGHT TRACK With a definite aim, inspired by efficient lead- ership and impelled by a spirit of co-operation, the North Dakota Retail Merchants’ association is per- forming a real service.. The gathering at Mandan has been a real inspiration to the men engaged in retail business. ‘The program was prepared to meet the problems of the small as well as the big merchants, Its deliberations were unmarred by any political propaganda. Each speaker kept to his text and no one who is interested in soientific merchandising should underestimate the impor- tance of these’ gatherings ‘which must do much in the future to promote’a better community spirit. F, P. Mann of Devils Lake, president of the association, has carried the meggage of community _ building to every eorpier of ‘ate and he has “made a profound gaiprefsion nany other states by his clean-cutgeone; tesefttation of the new plan to foster 4 Betteydinderstanding and a closer co-operation between the various factors of com- munity life. re He is a big upstanding fellow with ideas ‘and a driving power behind them that always puts things over the top. Mr. Mann has done much to impress upon the merchants the value of consis- tent, persistent arid honest advertising. No one man in this state has done more to dispell the common fallacies in regard to advertising. Too many of the merchants in the smaller towns have} not awakened to this trade “puller.” Mr. Mann Kip of the association lent indication that it-has a mission. Credit for this is largely due to Secretary W, A. Donnelley - who has been a tireleds worker in emphasizing. thie, value of a close union between the retail mer- _chants.: Its membership roll is a distinct tribute to phis ability as an.oxggnjzer and the team work:evit denced at Manda ‘comfete vindication of the Pte Dake tailers’ association. i RAY, BUSINESS AND POLITICS: ae It is becoming harder every day in North Dakota to distinguish between business and poli- tics. The socialistic junta in the saddle has mixed 80 promiscuously in business that politics in the broad sense becomes the business and the very serious business of us all. It isan old adage that business and politics do not mix. We agree that they should not be mixed, but when business is invaded, encroa¢hed upon and dictated to a8 is iow contemplated in North Dakota, business men, the farmer,.the merchant, and the banker, are all in the same boat. When’ {ewiley rocks the craft all their interests af : thelr general welfare are in sjeopardy. CET NE ess J. E. Phelan of Bowman is to be congratulated for his courage in sounding the alarni at the meet- ing of the Missouri Slope bankers. In opening his address, he said: : dhe “The North Dakota Bankers’ association;j§ not a political-organization, it is broadly ingexested in ‘affairs of state. When politicians éncreath ‘on business without due regard for-the integrity and honor of the state, it is time for individuals of any. and all associations to act.” : If the state: wants to engage in this riot of socialism and end: the experiment with only a well upholstered. tax roll, that is the taxpayers’ privi- lege, but a newspaper would be recreant to its duty, if it allowed the voters to proceed without poiriting out some of the spots on the Mills rain- Ow. So far.‘the state has spent a large amount of tmoney fof a prospectus and the Tribyne hopes that the program will go no farther. If the pros- pectus is a fair sample of what the venture is go- ing to cost, the state will arrive in “Utopia” .with an empty purse, and a fat balance in the red. Politics becomes the business of everyorfe from now until ‘June 26. After the decision is announced and if the state endorses the socialistic venture, the next step will be to make the operation as pain- less as possible. = Qa » You can’t teach a man to respect the rights of others until you teach him, to respect his own body > enough to.wash it at intervals, Tf twelve. rounds are more righteous than a fight to a finish, why doesn’t some statesman sug- | gest using that principle'in future wars?

French revolution have much misread their: his- comparison is faulty, of Pericles rested upon a nation of uneducated slaves, The misery and ignorance of the masses did not greatly dim the grandeur of Louis XIV. of Elizabeth from being the Golden Age of all, literature. ™ But in a democracy great problems must be met and solved by the average intelligence. We do not blame the Russian for his ignorance. It can be removed. He is striving with tremendous energy and determination to remove it. But until it is removed he cannot efficiently rule in a democ- racy. The proof of the incapacity is that he rules little more under Lenine and Trotzky than under the czar. : But in modern. times widest intelligence and the most democratic institutions must wait upon mechanical’ and industrial achievement. For, more than.a century, if not for always, social prog- ress has followed indtgtriaf ‘advance. Leadership in civilization in the sixteenth century shifted with trade routes and manufacturing centers from the Mediterranean to the North Atlantic. Skilled sailors, sharp traders and steam-moved machin, ery, each in their turn made possible the Hliza- bethian Age, the Puritan Revolution, Parliathen- tary government and political democracy; H Ours is the age of labor and demockacy. Lead- ership goes to that nation where the people are most happy, prosperous and successful in self- government. Democracy demands that labor ‘pos- sess sufficient income, leisure and education to en- able it properly to manage complex common af- fairs. Leisure, for labor, universal education, am- ple opportunity for public discussion and the for- mation of a highly intelligent common mind, rest upon “super-production” in industry. They de- mand the most perfect machinery, the highest de- veloped te¢hnical training, standardized produc- tion and vast industrial organizations. se thifigmare not,in Rugsia, For thet Rus- gh sel foe bidtedan than,fgr their climate.

But even more startling is the letter itself. The league, according t othe letter, comprises over seventy organizations ‘of voters. Furthermore, the letter says that the league’s members are greatly displeaséd with’ the peace terms offered Germany by the allies, The German people have been shamefully deceived and the principles of true democracy have been trampled upon, accord- ing to a resolution adopted by the “German-Amer- ican” league and reported in this letter. Pinning their faith in President Wilson the “German peo- ple laid down their arms after dismissing the im- perial autocracy,” the’ resolution. asserts. ‘ It is not for the moment, consequential that the German people did not ‘pin their faith in. President Wilson, dismiss the imperial autocracy and lay down their arms. As a matter of fact, they rejected President Wilson’s offer for peace based upon his fourteen points as outlined in con- gress. They fought on and backed Prussian autocracy until William Hohenzollern fled to Hol- land for safety and the German war lords surren- dered their badly defeated armies. But what is particularly consequential is that in this country there is a political society which flaunts its votes before congress and demands leniency for Germany, even while Germany is yet America’s enemy. The Hun within our gates, is not an, idle phrase, and the signing of the peace abs. ee tory. Aside from the turmoil and the chaos the It is not alone that Russia’s illiterate citizen- ship renders her incapable of leading a democratic ‘era.
