(Established 1878) D> GET THEM TOGETHER Basil M. Manly, joint chairman of the War Labor board, suggested a conference of 20 men, leaders on business and workers, and two mem- bers of the cabinet, these men to consider— Permanent relations between capital and labor ; Industrial management, and workers’ partici- pation in profits; Wage adjustment; Settlement of industrial disputes, and Improving working hours and conditions, Manly believes such a conference of capital and labor, under the auspices of the government, will forever end the Bolshevik agitator’s career in the United States. The idea suggested by Manly at the national convention of the American Federation of Labor has been incorporated in a joint resolution intro- duced in the senate by Senator Poindexter, repub- lican of Washington, and in the lower house by Congressman Kelly, democrat of Pennsylvania, This resolution provides for the getting to- gether of nine of the nation’s leading “captains of industry,” nine of the nation’s leading labor lead- ers, the secretary of the interior and the secretary of labor. It is Manly’s belief that if these 20 men put their shoulders to the wheel it can be moved out of the mire of threatening Bolshevism, labor dis- turbances and business inactivity. Obviously no harm can come of such a con- ference, and much good may result. Only an I. W. W. could find any serious objection to a labor- capital meeting in which all sides of every labor- capital question are considered. Congress first must approve of the plan before the conference can be held with governmental sanction. This approval congress should give and immediately. There is no better method of down- ing Bolshevism in American than. by preventing it from coming in. Labor and capital pulling ‘to- gether can produce prosperity, for each other and the nation. Pulling against each other they can produce a second Russia. If you were to sit down now and write a letter to the representative from this district, or the senators from this state, you would be helping to bring labor and capital together. Just tell your man down in Washington— “T want to see Labor and Capital meet in con- ference this summer. Please vote for the Poin- dexter-Kelly resolution.” Sign it and drop it in the nearest mail box. =— FOREVER Millions of years from now a perfect picture of you reading this newspaper will be floating out through space.: It will be in the form of a moving picture, a complete record of your whole life, ex- tending on forever as it travels further and fur- ther from the earth into the never-ending dis- tances of the universe. That is something to make you think—that there is no death, that time and space are delu- sions, mysteries, which the brain of man cannot solve. Dr. C. S. Brainin the great astronomer of Co- lumbia university, tells about it in long scientific words. Yet it is very simple to understand. You are standing on the shore, looking out to sea. A gun is fired, miles away. You see smoke puff from its muzzle. Seconds later, you hear the report. The noise existed before you heard it, but you see quicker than you hear, because sound waves travel slower than light waves. Just as you heard the cannon’s boom seconds after the gun was fired, so may you see a thing happen seconds, years, centuries afterward. Have the telescope man point out the giant ‘Alpha Contauri, the star nearest our earth. It is so far away that four years are required for its light waves to reach us. You watch it blinking; what you see is the star as it existed four years ago. If it vanished now, you would continue see- ing it, it would be four years before its light would vanish to eyes on this earth. Further away in space, people on other starg would see it for still more years. Polaris, another famous star—116 years for its light waves to reach us. If the man on Polaris has a good telescope, he is now watching what hap- pened on this earth 116 years ago. He is wit- nessing the purchase of Lousian from France, the naval war against Tripoli, the establishment of the first cotton-gin in New Hampshire and the first bank in Cincinnati. It will be the year 2030 before he sees, like a moving picture,.a half-witted youth in Sarajevo fire the revolver that started the World War. Then the man on Polaris will call the reporters in and say, “Boys, I have made a great discovery. A war has broken out on Friend Earth.” Suppose that the people on Mars or the bil- lions of stars in the Milky Way have progressed to the point where they really have such won- derful telescopes. As they swing those telescopes toward the earth they are seeing, according to their distances away, thousands of toiling workmen building the Pyramids, Noah opening the door of the Ark and scowling at the mud, a Spanish queen hocking her jewels for a supposedly crazy man named Co- lumbus, the giant dinosaur trampling forests be- 0/neath his feet—or yourself being born. The light waves that make possible the seeing of any happening, travel on forever. Nothing in the universe is so ancient that it is not still alive and vital—somewhere in space. Light waves are eternal and forever they carry onward at the rate of 186,000 miles per second the picture of everything that ever was or ever will be. It is the great book of mysteries with seven seals, the perpetual moving picture, recording for all time your every movement. The universe rec- ognizes no secrecy. The story of your life is recorded indelibly on the great records of eternity. Know this fact and leave a record clean, for there is no concealment possible in the endless universe of God. Ps US OLDER ONES This about school vacation time. It is estimated that about five million boys of this country will leave school at this time to take their first jobs in factories, stores and offices. Some of these boys will come to us in all our places of work. Their education will not be complete by any means—it will only be in the rough, and it will be up to us older ones to at least assist in finishing the job. We all know how it was when we first went to work. We will all remmber how on the first morning of our first job we were looked upon with half pity and half contempt by our fellow workers. We remember how we made many mistakes and were a long time in learning the job and all for the want of a little advice and very few simple in- structions. And all this through the indifference or con- tempt of the older workers. Now, let us, all of us older ones, resolve not to let this happen to any of the first job boys that come unto us this school vacation. Let us think of ourselves when we first went on our first job. Some of these boys that came unto us will be sensitive and some will be bold, but they will all constitute raw material in our hands, just as we were at first. Some of these boys will not stay long, but in any case let us resolve to have kindness in our heart for them and send them to the next job with something learned, and to be better prepared to fill it. oom oe we dat. Some of these boys will be foreign born or of foreign parentage. Let us resolve not to refer to these by any of the names by which many of us distinguish one race or nationality from another. We are all here in America and let us show the Y ig BISMARCK BOY WRITES OF 8,000 MILE JOURNEY TO THE FAR EAST Lt. C. L. Hansen, U. S. S. Chatta- nooga, writes to his father, C. L. Han- sen of the Bismarck Water Supply Co., from Falmouth, Eng., some inter- esting details of an 8,000-mile trip which the young Bismarck naval offi- cer had just completed. The Chatta- nooga. is now.-the flagship of. the United States naval forces in Euro- pean waters, and Lieut. Hansen writes that he expects’ to remain near the English coast most of the time. The Chattanooga upon its arrivel at Fal- moutn took over a fleet of eleven British trawlers for the sweeping of mines in the North Sea. Lieut. Harsen left Bermuda on Ap- Til 1; arrived at the Azores on. April 8, coaled, and on the tenth sailed for Liberia, which. port was made ‘April 19. The Bismarck boy spent Easter Sunday in this unique Africal capital and enjoyed a visit to a native village which made one think, he writes, that one was in the wilds of Congo-land. The Chattanooga then returned to Azores and proceeded thence to Ply- mouth and finally to Falkirk. The Bismarck boy has been.in Uncle Sam’s navy for six years, including the time he spent at Annapolis. Patrick Casey Takes State Agency for New Miracle, Mortor Gas Patrick Casey of Tenth street has been named state agent for Miracle Motor-Gas, a compound which is said to increase the efficiency of gasoline or kerosene. Mr. Casey will divide the state into districts and desires agents in each locality. The com- pound: is supposed to eliminate car- bon. With the present cost of gasoline making serious inroads on the aver- age motorist’s pocketbook, the field for a good gasoline saver is almost unlimited and motorists have been casting about to find some harmless chemical , that will cut down. their fuel bills, give their motor power and insure smooth running by clean- ing the cylinders of carbon. Miracle Motor-Gas Tablets, manu- American spirit by showing kindness and helping these foreign boys to become better Americans. Most of these boys that will come unto us older ones this school vacation are filled with high hopes and healthy ambitions. Many of them, even of tender years, will have a definite purpose in life. These hopes may be beyond their present reach but the ambition is there, and it will be up to us to discourage or encourage it. In other words, let us golden rule our attitude towards these first job boys, and say: Do'unto them as we would like to have been done by when we took our first job. Or, let us do unto these boys on their first job as we would like to have others do unto our boys. Any community where everybody is related to everybody else and quarreling about it affords a miniature of the European problem. The poor man can find consolation in the fact that he can now pay his old debts with dollars that are worth about 40 cents. WITH THE EDITORS M’LAURIN ADMITS. IT Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, in speak- ing in Mandan last evening in favor of the league laws admitted that the statements that had been published in the press of the state regarding illit- eracy, child labor, etc., in his own state were prac- tically true. _ McLaurin came to this state heralded as a pro- gressive statesman by the Nonpartisan league. He came here to aid in putting over the league pro- gram. It would seem fitting that as long as con- ditions, such as have been pointed out, exist in his own state that his “progressive” tendencies might be used to greater advantage in ameliorating the situation there than by trying to tell other states what they should, or should not do.—Mandan Pio- neer. factured by The Chas. A. Butler & Co, (manufacturers of Automobile specialties located in the Toledo Factories building, has solved the problem. o {_ cITy NEWS i Visiting Son Mrs. G. L.

The Dort had a perfect score as to all requirements except one, be- ing penalized five points on account of running short of gasoline. ¢|EVERETT TRUE TARE (ov THE ONS WwHo HAS THAT PERFUME ON WHEN You GeT ES jena DONE S- }20ME DOWN AND \ REPORT 5 AMERICAN LEGION TO DROP ALL RANK IN ORGANIZATION Association of Soldiers to Use Civilian Titles Purely for , Sake of Democracy The American legion will drop from the names of all its members except those in active’service’ all military rank and titles, announces R. H. Treacy of Bismarck, a North Dakota member of the national executive com- mittee. Official action to this effect, he reports, has been taken by. the joint executive committees appointed at Paris and St. Louis. The resolution adopted was: “That all military titles be dropped from the names of all members of the American legion not in active service, in all matters that pertain to the national organization, and that this same ac- tion be recommended to all states for their favorable consideration.” “It is the purpose of the American legion,” said Mr. Treacy today, “not only to cease using military titles in the records and proceedings of the national organization, but also to fos- ter the same action on the ‘part of state branches and local posts which are now being organized throughout the country. Furthermore, the cus- tom handed down from the Civil war of preserving an officer’s. military rank after he has returned to civil life will be discouraged. The national organization of the legion uses civil- ian titles to designate its offices, and many of the state branches of the legion have adopted the same policy. “The reason for this action is the fact that the American legion is a civilian organization of soldiers, sail- ors and marines who served in the world war, either at home or abroad. It is neither military nor militaristic,” said Mr. Treacy. “The legion: knows no distinction of either rank or ser- vice. Its membership. is being re- cruited from/all ranks of the service in the army, navy and marine corps. “The fundamental purpose of the legion is to promote democracy and Americanism. These were the: prin- ciples for which the soldiers and sail- ors of the country fought in the world war. It is recognized that distinctions of rank and title are merely means to achieve an end. It is clearly the sense of the men who are being discharged from the service that these indica- tions of rank or title should not’ be perpetuated.” ALIEN AGITATORS IMPRISONED AS STRIKE WEAKENS Winnipeg, June 21—Six more strike leaders, all classed as alien agitators, have been taken in custory /y Roy- al Northwest mounted police. The men are charged with seditious con- spiracy and are in custody at Stony Mountain prison. “The progress now being made will in all probability result in the strike being called off early next week,” an- nounced T. J. Murray, solicitor for the trades and labor council. Negotiations have been opened be- tween metal workers’ and their em- ployers which may: result in an agree ment Monday. EXPLOSION MAY BE FATAL TO TEN Pottsville, Pa., June 22-—An #xplo- sion occurred in the Potts mine of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co. this afternoon. Four men were taken out dead and ten are be- lieved to ‘be inside. Their fata is un- known. Drys Win Victory in House Committee Washington, June 21.—A proposed amendment to the pending prohibition enforcement bill giving the president authority to repeal the war-time pro- hibition act insofar as it affects the sale of light wine and beer was de- feated today in the House judiciary committee. Wright Family Leaves for East Ernest Wright, who has been dep- uty auditor of Burleigh county for the past year or two, expects to leave on Sunday evening for the east. Mr. Wright will go to Washington, D. C., to take a position in the income tax department. He recently disposed of his home to W. H. Robinson, state engineer, at the capitol. The family have resided in Bismarck for many years, and Mrs. Wright was born in the capital city. The family plan.to leave for Washington to join Mr. Wright some time in the fall. Mr. Wright was formerly, of the First Na- tional bank force and was at one time connected with the Capital steam laundry. Friday evening a picnic had been planned in compliment to the Wright family, but owing to the weather, in- stead of going to the Falconer grove, the affair was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold J. Wright, Thayer street. The guests included several families who are close friends of the Wrights, and an elaborate pic- nic super- was served on the porch, after which music and. cards formed amusement for the remainder of the evening. “THRICE-ARMED IS HE WHOSE CAUSE IS JUST” “The wicked flee when no man pur- sueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion.” Shakespeare tells about a thousand “accusing tongues”—each tongue tell- ing its separate tale. And when con- science has this army at its command in. attacking its victim, it .isn't long before he’s. on the run. “But the righteous are bold as a lion.” This doesn’t mean the self-right- eous—possessed of ‘that hollow, glar- ing, artificial virtue which disgusts every red-blooded man and woman— it means the one whose cause {s just and who therefore is “thrice-armed.” “The wicked flee when no man pur- ar but the righteous are bold as a lion.” STRAYED from Huber’s farm 2 1-2 miles south of town, a yellow cow with calf.
