(Established 1878) ATHLETIC CLUBHOUSE Bismarck should get behind the new athletic club venture. There is a pressing need for an in- stitution of this kind and until there is some clean, wholesome place for recreation, Bismarck can never hope to grow and progress as it should. The time has arrived in the life of the city when some provision must be made for organized and properly directed municipal recreation, This venture should be followed by a city park in the not too distant future. At present there is not a shady nook or grass plot anywhere where the people can go for a quiet hour of rest. The boys of the city have no well equipped play ground. The city that neglects these things is going to find its growth terribly stunted. Other cities in = food may be had at exorbitant prices; most of the balance of the country painfully desolate. HOLLAND—Short of coal, short of food, death and disease rates higher than ever, unemployment general, raw material supply almost zero, RUSSIA—A massive interrogation point where a bale of money will buy a loaf of bread if there is any bread to be bought. GERMANY—Defeated, best by all manner of wolves within and about to be loaded with an in- demnity charge that will keep every German humping for the next three decades. AUSTRIA—Gone where the woodbine twineth. POLAND, CZECHO - SLOVAKIA, JUGO- 0 'SLAVIA—New nations that must be built from the ground up with supplies largely furnished from without. : BULGARIA—Submerged and torn by revolu- tion following defeat. GREECE—In fair condition, compared to the rest of Europe, but in great need of imports. There you are. Europe is a blue and gloomy picture. This is no reflection on any of our allies. They can’t help it. They got that way because they did the right and brave thing. It is the after-suffering from the great pain of the war. But it is there. America is the solidest, brightest, homiest, happiest place on earth. America owes Europe a duty. It must provide the things they need in the vast desolation “over there.” But in plain words, that means the busiest kind of an America—and the American people love a busy place. There is no opportunity of any kind, material, spiritual, concrete or abstract, that offers in Eur- the same class as Bismarck are awake to their opportunities. Now is the time to wake up and get busy. Appealing direct to the people for approval of peace terms is a great advance in civilization. Per- haps it will lead to consulting the people before declaring war. WAR’S BALANCE SHEET The New York Tribune thus ably sums up the results of five years of war: On the debit side: Killed, 7,000,000. Crippled, 20,000,000. Homes destroyed, 1,000,000. Money loss, $12,000,000,000. Anarchic conditions over one-half of Europe and with difficulty kept out of the remainder. A social quackery which plies its trade among peoples confused by losses that are reparable only by industry and thrift. : On the credit side: A demonstration that liberty is so prized that to save it no sacrifice is too great. New proof that man is a moral being and re- acts to moral ideals. A greater sense of fraternity among brothers of the soul who fought together. A chance that the lessons of the war will so sink in that hereafter gigantic evil would be stop- ped before it gets afoot. The losses are in materia! things; the gains are spiritualities. One mass looms large to those who see only things; but the other looms large to those who see ideas. The world is impoverished in temporal needs, but if summoned before the True Assessor would be proclaimed richer than five years ago. A jewel was found in the mire of war. Mankind went through a fiery furnace and the smell is upon it, but it survived the ordeal. A generation capable of performing the prodi- gies marking this one may claim it is master of its fate and foresee, not far distant, the day when the mark of the Beast will be gone, but, forever remaining, the glorious memory that he was suc- cessfully resisted. Baker says the troops will be withdrawn “as soon as the menace to American life and property along the Rio Grande has been removed.” The doughboy is in for a life-time job. : THE PLACE TO BE Europe is tied in a bow-knot. Debt and deficit are written across the face of things. Nowhere does the bright sunshine of Oppor- tunity glow with such a welcome warmth as in America. Half the nations of Europe would have to de- clare a state of bankruptcy if they had to cash in today. They couldn’t survive the shock. They haven't got the goods. America is about the only nation of importance in the world today that rates as a going concern. So, entirely apart from the matter of love of homeland, America is the place to be. Not only is America the place to be for the big men of financial power. It is the place to be for the average man—the mechanic, the shipping clerk, the farmer. Take a look at the map of Europe. ITALY—short of coal, short of raw materials, short of food, short of employment. FRANCE—one-sixth in ruins, the balance short of raw materials, short of coal, short of em- ployment, short of food. ENGLAND—Depending on imports for food, ope that cannot be doubled upon and trebled in America. Of all places to be, America is THE place. Op- portunity to work is brightest in America. Op- portunity to do the big, kindly, helpful human healing of the world—that is America’s. Oppor- tunity to do what the Yankee calls “get up and get”—it is writ large on the fertile soil of the United States of Uncle Sam. It isn’t a goose that lays the golden egg be- tween the Atlantic and the Pacific. It’s a wise bird—and it is just now facing its busy season. Senator Fall of New Mexico charges that Mexi- can news has been suppressed. Well, suppressing the news may postpone the job of suppressing Mexico. EDUCATION’S LIMPING PROGRESS Dr. George D. Stayer, president of the National Education Association, says that reports received in advance of the Milwaukee convention show that the first results of the campagin for increased wages are beginning to make an inadequate ap- pearance. New York leads a list of states in increased sal- ary provisions by establishing a minimum of $1005 and a maximum of $3650 annually for city schools and a minimum of $800 for rural districts, Illinois makes the minimum $700 for 36 weeks, adds a million to her annual educational appropriation and authorizes local districts to double the educa- tional tax. Iowa puts the minimum for college graduates at $100 a month and $80 for normal course graduates. Indiana gives a graded increase of from 25 to 30 per cent. Virginia raised its appropriation for teachers’ salaries $800,000 in 1918 and promises more next year. Texas adds $2,000,000 annually for 1918-19 to teachers’ salaries. South Carolina raises its minimum wage from $55 to $75, the figure also fixed by Oregon. North Dakota, Oklahoma, Mis- souri, Massachuetts, Pennsylvania, California and Connecticut also report increased educational ap- propriations, a part of which may be used to in- crease salaries. There is also a list of 191 cities that have increased salaries during the past year. But all this is but a most inadequate beginning to meet a long almost unendurable situation in the opinion of the officials of the association. Of these 191 cities, 86 per cent gave increases of $50 or less per year, barely enough to pay the average in- crease in room rent. For the whole United States the commissioner of education reports that the increase is from an average of $543.31 in 1915 to $630.64 in 1918. Even these figures, which are far below what war- time investigations showed to be a living wage, and far less than the minimum legal, wages fixed by several states for factory girls, come largely from cities and do not include the much worse conditions in rural schools. Educators gathered at the national convention are unanimously agreed that until this disgraceful condition is changed and teachers are paid an ade- quate wage, there can be but a limping progress in educational matters and but miserable approxi- mation to the needs of reconstruction and the in- dustrial education which is now so pressingly needed. War makes bedfellows no less strange than politics. ¥ What we need is a first class speaker who will tour Germany in the interest of the peace treaty. Perhaps it has oecurred to you that Villa is appealing to the Mexican people over the head of the government. short of raw materials, everything unsettled, re- adjustment of machinery proceeding slowly, much ‘unemployment. 9) -BELGIUM—Brussels, a “show window” where We have a lot of doughboys in Europe who would be glad to take over the Mexican situation if ‘that will hurry their home-coming. BISMARCK DAILY TRIB at ee ent | THEIR BARK IS WORSE THAN THEIR BITE i eee Wilton, July 1, 1919. Bismarck Tribune, Bismarck, N. D. Gentlemen: This is an answer to an artcile in the Farmers’ Press on the Labor Party problem wrote there as an answer to mine in the Bismarck Tribune. “Labor Party is Solution of Prob. lems of tiie Workers.” We have ‘always understood up to this time the Nonpartisan party as far as North Dakota is concerned, was the solution. Why a Labor party? Why not let the workers join the Non- partisan party, such men as believe in the policies of said party? We noticed a good. many municipal victories this spring for the workers, where there was no Labor party, and we also noticed a defeat in the birth- place of the Labor party, Chicago. Socialists Not With Labor Chicago. did not prove the Labor party was ‘the solution. There was something like 36,000 socialist votes the labor party did not get. If these men had been called on to vote for a candidate for the, sake of certain Measures pertaining to labor alone, they probably could have been brought in line, but when it came to voting for a candidate politically put up by a political labor party they divided, and most likely there is a breach in the labor ranks in Chicago, or at least a hard feeling on that account, which is not helping labor any. Besides the labor candidate was defeated. The gentleman in-the Press says if the unions can accomplish what the writer of the article in The Tribune says, they can, through the federation, why do not the unions of Illinois get an_anti-injunction law? What the writer in the Tribune says and also means is this: If the unions can not get it through the federation they will be a good deal longer ways from getting it through a political party. If the laborer of Illinois can not be swung into line through the federation where the unions affiliate together without re- gard to politics, how are you going to get him (the laborer) together in a political party, where he will stand} divided as he did in the election in Chicago? Our Labor Laws We got our labor laws through the Nonpartisan league, .as this gentleman says in the Press, and. we admit we did. But we did not get these laws because we had a labor party, that we know of. We got recognition becausq the union movement faa vecuuie strong enough in this state to become a factor in the election, and we receiv- ed such recognition through the feder- ation. We have heard trom certain quarters, off and on, that labor did not have enough representation in tne assembly at Bismarck, but if labor gets what they ask for we do not see any difference, whether it is a laborer, a farmer or an assemblyman of some other occupation who gives it to him (the laborer). When we hear a man making statements to that effect we CASHIER IN 7 MONTHS Considerable interest has been aroused in the rapid rise of Mr. Max Buechler, recently promoted to Cashier of the Fredonia State Bank. Only 7 months ago he started there as bookkeeper and Asst. Cashier after completing a course at the Dakota Business College, Fargo, N. D. Only thor- ough training can account for such quick promotion. All eyes are now on Mr. Law- rence Hanson, another D. B. C. graduate, who has recently ac- cepted the position of asst. cash- ier of the First National Bank of Leeds. Write to F. L. Watkins, 806 Ce WHY A LABOR PARTY? | er generally size him up as a fellow with political aspirations. Organized labor has for years tried to get legislation, is the statement of this genetleman in the Press. When the gentleman makes this statement, it is a misstatement, refer- ring to the laboring man of North Dakota, as a unionized body of men, because the union movement of this state has not been of any consequence only hardly two years. It only. goes to show—get unionized and we will be recognized. Class Legislation Old This new party is called a reform movement! Class legislation is as old as Methusalem. It has been in the field for years under different names and in different forms and died. Class legislation is what this same party is kicking about in the old parties, a re- form movement in our opinion is a movement for all the people and by all the people. The Labor party is got up so as to make you see the light and hear the truth, fellow workers. Why does not this gentleman add; as we, a few of the smartest of us, see it and ‘under- stand it, and also so that. we, through such party can control and swing the laboring man as we see fit politically. Laborers as Men The trouble with some of those brighter lights, they do not give the laboring man much credit for doing any thinking politically, and they want to think for him (the laborer), and when he does not think like they do, he is not taking any interest in poli- tics, the gentleman makes the state- ment the time has come for the la- borers to take more interest. The gentleman in the Press seems political in the eastern states, they would have been able to put over leg- islation, and I claim they would ‘not accomplish any more with a political party and not as much as they will through their trade unions. We are EVERETT TRUE to think if they had a Labor party; always blaming the other fellow when we ought to be looking inside the ranks of the laborer himself. I have seen graft on a small scale, because it was all the opportunity on hand grafting on a small scale, amongst la- borers as rotten as anywhere. The reforms are a matter of education and mutual understanding between employer and employe rather than force. Advantages gained by force are | generally very shortlived. I am going 'to tell a story I read once about a {young man who went in for comic jopeta and made a success. As a be- | who never was much of a success, and |he noticed when this older hand left |the stage and had not made the audi- {ence respond to his sallies, he would (say, “these people do not know a joke | when they hear one.” The young fel- {low knew something was wrong, and jhe got in the habit when the audience }did not appreciate his singing and matter with me tonight and my per- formance.” He looked at home and |he succeeded.

Demobilization to Be Completed by Sept. 30 Washington, July5.—Orders for the demobilization of the army by Sep- tember 30 to the peace time strength of approximately 233,308 officers and men, authorized by the national de- fense act, were issued today by the war department. The national defense act authorized a total of 169,493 offi- cers and men for the line; and 63,815 officers and men for the staff corps and departments, A reduction of the military establishment to these fig- ures would be 100,000 men below the strength authorized by the 1920 army bill, but officials explain this reduc- tion will be necessary to compensate for the heavy expense now existing over the authorized total. INOCULATE BU Lo. Helena, Mont., July 3.—Inoculation of the entire herd of tame buffalo in Yellowstone park will be, made by veterinarians working under the di- rection of Dr. Rudolph Snyder of Chi- cago, of the federal bureau of animal industry in Montana. This will be done to prevent an outbreak of hem- orrhagic septicemia, which killed 35 head of buffalo in the park last win- ter. The Conrad herd of 80 buffalo near Kalispell, will be inoculated at the same time if the owners wish, Dr. Snyder said. NEARLY 2,000 HAIL LOSSES. One hundred and eighty-seven hail losses had been reported by Thurs- day noon from northwestern coun- ties which were swept by a tornado the fore part of the week. Since July 1, 217 hail losses have been report- ed, a considerable number of these coming from Golden Valley county, which suffered a severe hail storm the first of the week. The aggregate number of losses reported to date is 1,943, report’ the commissioner. of insurance. ———aa——oa———— Man Loses Hundreds: of Dollars | “I am sorry I did not hear of Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy a few years ago, as it would have saved me several nundred dollars, Five years I suffered from indigestion and severe bloating.
