It was given few men to possess in such degree the art of money-making. Upon even fewer was conferred so much wisdom in ‘the spending of it. Andy Carnegie was of a type more common to the last century than to the present cycle. We will have fewer self-made millionaires in the pres- ent generaiton. Opportunities are less; there is not the same encouragement or willing quiescence to the amassing of millions in the hands of a single individual. On general principles it. is not good that a third or a half a billion of the. nation’s wealth be concentrated in the hands of one man. In order that he may have so much there are so many who must be content with so little. But who will say that there was not a wise providence directing the Laird of Skibo’s Midas touch! The world, we believe, is much better for the fact that Andy Carnegie lived and became im- mensely rich. His philanthropies were construc- tive. He indulged in no ennervating charities. Thrifty and true to his Scotch traditions to the last, he devoted his millions rather to training for success than to the removal of incentive and am- bition to succeed. His benefactions have placed in the way of millions of men and women opportuni- ties which Andrew Carnegie did not himself enjoy in his earlier days. His example has shamed other multi-millionaires into at least an essay toward emulation. It is very true that Andrew Carnegie .was richer than any man need be—perhaps than any man should be. But, if he had not possessed the acquisitive sense to a superlative degree, Bis- marck, for instance, would still be rearing its boys and’ girls without the advantages of a public li- brary, and we do not know how many thousand other cities.over this land would be in the same situation. And we would not have had the Carne- gie foundation,: with all of its wonderful accom- plishments, nor the hundred and one other. per- manent institutions which Carnegie leaves as an undying monument to his memory. SOMEBODY LIED Mr. Frazier, you who have time and again shown your abiltiy to spot an old-gang lie far be- yond the range of vision of the human eye, here’s a job for you. We were told, frequently and insistently told, prior to the referendum election last June that stories in the press and statements from the plat- form to the efefct that the board of administration bill purposed to make a figurehead out of Miss Nielson were “old gang lies.” Your leader, Mr. Townley, and your very good friend, Mr. Brinton, gave us this assurance from the balcony of their hotel here in Bismarck only a few days before the election, Mr. Frazier. Your league propaganda bureau sent out col- umn after column of plate matter devoted to de- nials of the “old gang lies” about what you and your associates intended to do to Miss Nielson through your board of administration bill. We read in your league plate service, Mr. Fra- zier, that “the claim has been made that this bill was aimed at taking away the powers of Miss Minnie Nielson as state superintendent of public instruction,” but that “THE FACTS ARE THAT THE MEASURE INCREASES THE POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE STATE SUPERINTEND- ENT, AND MAKES THIS OFFICE MORE OF A FACTOR IN THE EDUCATIONAL PLAN OF THE STATE THAN EVER BEFORE.” Again we were told by your league press bu- reau, Mr. Frazier, that “one provision of the act itself refutes the statements that have been made by gang newspapers of the state that the bill was calculated to curb the duties of the state superin- tendent of public instruction,” and then there is quoted for us section 9 of the board of administra- tion act which reads: “THE POWERS AND DU- TIES OF THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF ’ PUBLIC INSTRUCTION AS HERETOFORE PROVIDED BY LAW SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE SUPERVISION AND CONTROL OF THE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION ONLY INSO- FAR AS SUCH POWERS AND DUTIES WERE BY LAW SUBJECT TO THE SUPERVISION AND CONTROL OF ANY OR ALL OF. THE BOARDS MENTIONED IN SECTION 5 OF THIS ACT.” No, Mr. Frazier, this isn’t an “old gang lie.” These excerpts are taken verbatim from only last week’s edition of the Golden Valley Progress, a league newspaper controlled by your very good friend, Mr. Brinton, Mr. Frazier—the newspaper Pet are wee men ren achat biotic ion. waraedetaning the debit ge cma has just selected to be the official organ of Golsien Valley county, Mr. Frazier. The truth of the matter is, Mr. Frazier, that somebody has lied. Somebody has lied deliber- ately and persistently and with the clear intent to deceive the people of North Dakota. They have lied about a very important matter which is of most vital concern to everyone of us, and particu- larly to the boys and girls who are growing up and may have to live in this state and be responsible for our mistakes after we have gone, Mr. Frazier. These youngsters haven’t had an opportunity to express their opinion of you through the ballot box. Before this privilege is extended them your administration will be at an end. But, Mr. Frazier, as a MAN, you owe it to these boys and girls, and to the honest and decent men and women of North Dakota who still believe in you, because you are their governor, to discover who has been doing this wholesale and deliberate lying. Your administration has been misrepre- sented; you have been placed in a far from favor- able light. If you are a MAN, and not a MOUSE, Mr. Frazier, you will give the public a frank, can- did, clear-cut statement of the facts. "We all know—that is all of us who do not de- pend for our facts upon your own subsidized press, Mr. Frazier—that your board of administration has done the very things whcih your league propa- TM GOING XO TRY CUT You BROUGHT HOME — TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1919 CONDO THAT N&W SONG RECORD H WHGRE IS IT & IT'S RIGHT THERS ON.

BACK ON THE FARM Hey, old timers, come on back to the farm! Remember the good old days when ‘you were bounced out of bed by an unfeeling alarm clock about 3 a. m. to milk the cows just as the sun was peeping over the horizon and you were so dawgone sleepy you some time started at the wrong end of the cow to milk? You wouldn’t recognize the task of milking now on the farm. They do it all by machinery on lots of farms nowadays—central milking station with the apparatus run by a gaso- line engine! Think of that! And do you remember the good old time barn dance when the folks came in their rigs from miles around and cavorted around on the barn floor amid the wailing of a one-stringed violin played by a man with no ear for music and the occasional neighing of horses and sounds of unrest from the cattle? You wouldn’t recognize the old- time barn dance now. They turn up the rug on the front piazza, slip on the latest’ jazz record and dance. And say, old ‘timers, remember the good: old days when you took your best girl for a buggy ride on a moonlit night and draped the reins around the whip while the old nag jogged along. peaceful and quiet? Nobody on the‘road to disturb you— just you and your girl and the moonlight. Now when you take your best girl for a ride on the farm, you unloose the flivver from a concrete garage, buzz into the city, see a picture show and scoot home at forty miles an hour, taking care not to bust into any of the other cars congesting the traffic en route home. Come on back to the farm, old timers. The only trouble with your trip will be that it seems like a trip to the city nowadays to visit the old farm, ; THE SHOE Ships, to millions of American citizens, are merely something for editors to write about. But shoes are, these days, something for every- body to get interested in. And yet numbers of us are likely to go bare- footed because of the shipping situation. Experts of the shoe trade say that the prices of shoes are going to before unknown heights, Thirty dollars a pair for ordinary shoes, they assert, is entirely probable in the near future. And at thirty dollars a pair a lot of American families will go shoeless. These experts say the leather supply of the country was cut off by the war, and that today, because of the lack of ships, tens of thousands of hides are rotting in South American ports that would solve our shoe problem if they. could only be shipped in. After our experience with the coffee trust of Brazil we are inclined to doubt that the prices of shoes would fall, even if South American leather did arrive. Somebody down there, or up here, would prob- ably corner the supply and gouge us all. But anyway, there isn’t enough leather for the nation’s needs, and shoes are likely to be im- possible for many families, ' There is just one hope; wooden shoes are cool, wear well and cost about $1.50 a pair; many work- men already have adopted them, and find them comfortable and economical. And we have quite a bit of timber left. But if wooden shoes become the vogue we can see a speedy end to jazz and the dinner dance. Though the comedian clog will become nigh universal in its appeal. So you see, ships and shoes are all tied up in the same package. Senator Borah says the proifteer will be as safe the next four years as the last four. He will be if enough senators feel that way. Winning the war by demanding results regard- less of expense was good business; our mistake RK MEG Say Ss Nou ae The treasurer of the state of North Dakota is the custodian of the North Dakota workmen’s compensation fund. The funds are required to be put out on interest: and)the interest earnings Are added and credited to the fund. There is quite.a difference between employer’®: ‘liability: insurance and workmen’s ‘compensation insurance. Emplayers’ liability insurance is pre- dicated upan the theory of fault! and negligence of the’ disabled workmen, ox if skilled, their dependents, ever got any damages™ whatsoever; and those few, that did, received the same after a long’ period. of delay and at a great: expense in ¢of:t costs ‘ond ‘at: torney’s fees; whereas, under work- men’s compensation insurance, the auestion of fault and negligence is en- eirely abolished and substantial acci- dents, the only éxclusion being where the injury. ig the result of the wilful intent of .the employee. ‘This , neces- surfly makes the workmen’s compen- sation insurance more costly than em- Ployers’ liability insurance. The compensation act applies to all injuries to an employee injured in the, course of “hig: employment, and when so injured is entitled to compen- sation, not the result of the employee's wil- tul intent to injure himself, If the em- Plcsee is killed, then his dependents|or remarriage, If she remarries she] ing. 1n fact, it is said, until he reach- receive the compensation.

Everything growing out of the ground seems intended for some use in establish- ing natural conditions. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,, long since found out what is naturally best for women’s diseases, He learned it all through treating thou- sands of cases. The result of his studics was a medicine called Dr. Pierce’s Favor- ite Prescription. This medicine is made of vegetable growths that nature surely intended for backache, headache, weak- ening, bearing-down pains, irregularities, pelvic inflammations, and for the many disorders common to women in all ages cf life. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is made of lady’s slipper root, black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon grape root. Dr. Pierce knew, when he first made this standard medi- cine, that whiskey and morphine are in- jurious, and so he has always kept them out of his remedies. Women who take this standard remedy know that in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription they are getting a safe woman's tonic so good that THE NORTH DAKOTA WORKMEN’S COMPENSATION ACT b: y COMMISSIONER L. J. WEHE LE his compensation shall be for the full amount of his wages. Should an employee receive an in- jury which results in total disability, he will receive a compensation ‘for the remainder of his life, based on his weekly wages. If his injury caused only a temporary total disability, say for. only eight weeks, he would re- ceive a compensation for the period of eight weeks, on the basis of sixty-six and. two-thirds percent of his weekly wage, An employee who received an injury which resulted in a tempor- ary partial disability, would receive a weekly compensation “equal to: sixty; six and two-thirds percent of his loss- earning capacity. If he received a per- manent partial disability, he would receive a weekly compensation based upog the percentage which such per- manent partial disability bears to his total disability. «’ ¢ If an employee died as a result of his injury and left no dependents, the law would allow him $100.00 for burial expenses, as death claim. Proviison for Widow. An employee leaving a widow, she would receive a weekly compensation Providing that the injury was|caual to 35 percent of the employee’s} Louise, daughter of the former :em- weekly average earnings, and the sume would continue until her death total however, not to exceed sixty- six and two-thirds percent. The com- pensation payable on account of an; if over 18 and incapable of self-sup- port, becomes capable of self-support. If the employee left a widower and no children, the widower would re- ceive 35 percent, if wholly dependent upon the support of deceased employee at the time of her death, and to con- tiue until hig death or marriage. If the employee left no widow and:only children 25 percent is allowed for one child and 10 percent for each aditional child up to the maximum of sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the weekly average wage. The law allows compensation to de- pendent parents, brothers, sisters, grand-parents and grand-children, In computing compensation in case of death, the weekly wages of deceased shall be considered to have been not more than $30.00 or less than $18.00, but the total weekly compensation. shall not exceed’ the weekly wages of the deceased. Heaviest Compensation Rate. There are 42 states in the union now operating under the workmen’s com- pensation insurance, in addition to Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico. The North Dakota woarkmen’s compensation law has the splendid record and distinction of pro- viding greater compensation benefits than uny other law in operation in the entire country. The workmen of North Dakota are provided with greater com- pensation than the workmen of any other state in the union. The North Lakota workmen’s com- pensation act bas many points in its favor not enjoyed by other states: First, it provides the emp!ive:3 of the state with a werkmen’s ce npenca- tion insurance at an absolute mini- mum cost; it removes entirely all fur- ther litigation, and removes to a great extent what has teen the caive a gicut deal-of fricticn between the e:a- vleyer and bis cmiployees. Second, it guarantees to the injured tees to them substantial compensation ; it guarantees this certain and substan- tial compensation without litigation, without cost and without delay.

No ‘More Charity. Third, from the public viewpoint, it will no longer inherit charity patients from disabled workmen or their wid- ows and children, It is true that the employer will have to transfer the in- creased cost of workmen's compensa- toin insurance over on to the selling price of goods, commodities, and that in consequence the public will in the end have to pay this increased cost, and it is far less costly to pay the bill cf workmen’s compensation than to pay the bill of employers’ lability. The bill of the latter being charity in- stitutions ,charity patients, pauperism, criminality and deteriorated citizen- ship. And again, in entirely abolishing the litigation from industrial acci- dents, a large public economy will be etffected in another way; the courts will have their dockets surprisingly lightened, which means ultimately that public costs of the courts of the state and judgeship cost will be lightened; then again, there is scarcely a citizen of the state to whom this law is not an immediate benediction; the mer- chant will profit as the injured work- men, or their dependents, can still pay their grocery bills, meat bills, clothing bills, rent and coal bills, doctor bills, in short, can meet all their legitimate obligations and their creditors, whether the grocer, butcher, clothing merchant, or doctor will not be re- quired to shoulder this load, which they would otherwise inherit, and last but foremost the public has conserved its citizenship, L, J.

On sev- eral occasions he showed courage by going incognito into the trenches in upper Alsace and on his 21st birthday, which he celebrated at the front, nar- rowly escaped death by shellfire at ‘Loos. On October 12, 1915, a shell wrecked the motor car in which he team by a score of eleven to noth- ing. But once did Halliday allow a Killdeer player to reach third. Up un- til today Killdeer had beaten every team she had played with, but today’s exhiibtion proved that she has no bus- iness with the Halliday team ‘being en- tirely outclassed throughout the en- tire game, her showing being a disap- pointment to the large crowd that was in attendance. Next Sunday Halliday plays Werner,/and Sunday, August 24, she goes to Hazen, where she takes on the fast team from Stanton. This promises to be the most exciting game of the season. As yet the Halliday ag- gregation has not been featen this season. SENATE AFFIRMS APPOINTMENT OF MITCHEL PALMER Washington, Aug. 12.—Confirmation by the senate of the nomination of A.

Only men without an almost utter absence of self respect would, in the face of this record, maintain for an in- stant that words in the law en- acted meant different than the same words in the same law after the farmers enacted it by their vote.

Meanwhile the prince had helped to raise $20,000,000 in London for the relief of wounded soldiers and sailors, had visited King Victor Em- manuel of Italy and the Italian front and flown over the Austrian lines with a British pilot. After tie armistice Was signed the prince went to Cob- lenz wnere he was the guest of the American. ocommander-in-daief, anc made a “hit” with the Yankee dough- ‘boys.
