What Wilson says here on Wednesday will be flashed around the world by telegraph and cable. As we read at our dinner tables Wednesday the story of Wilson’s visit, the same tale, in condensed form, will be read at dinner tables in Rome, London, Paris, Berlin, Petrograd, Tokio, Pekin, in all of the great capitals of the world and in every little center of civilization where the press holds sway. The coming of Wilson for the day places Bis- marck on a plane with Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Paul and Minneapolis. For the day Bismarck becomes the capital not alone of North Dakota, but of the United States, and to a degree of the universe, for that which President Wilson will discuss here on Wednesday is a con- stitution for a new United States of the world, and the world is anxiously waiting to hear what he has to say. ‘ It is well, therefore, that Bismarck and the state of North Dakota have elected for this occa- sion to forget political differences and to eliminate all petty quarrels in order that we may as a united people, Americans all, do homage to the great war ruler of our country and accord him an audi- ence worthy of the memoriable occasion which brings him here. History will be made in Bismarck on Wednes- day, September 10, Wilson day. That which trans- pires here then will be heralded to the whole world and will go down in the world’s permanent records. Bismarck and the state of North Dakota are sig- nally honored in being made the stage for so mo- mentous an event as the president’s report to the people on the covenant of the league of nations, which, be it ever so faulty, is the greatest forward step humanity has sought to take since it em- braced the creed of Christ, almost 2,000 years ago. The stir created by the demands of railroad men should teach Ireland a lesson in organization. =— A BIG OPPORTUNITY To our mind the biggest chance today for the American boy who has not decided what his life work shall be, is the American navy. In the Pacific fleet alone there is today room for 33,000 men. The call is urgent and nowhere else will a young man find as great opportunity for education and advancement as in the navy. This country has decided that it will be a great maritime power, its merchant marine and its naval forces will offer the widest fields for tens of thou- sands of the best men we have, and whether the youth decides to remain in the service or not, the years of training and education and travel and discipline that he receives will be of the greatest value to him as a civilian, in. competition with un- trained workers. The rate of pay has been continued at the war time schedule and the average gob will save more money than the average town worker. A warrant officer told us the other day that he was receiving, besides quarters, board, clothing, laundry, medical service, etc., about $200 a month, this including the allowances for his wife and family, travel, pay, extra allowances, etc. And he was not a commissioned officer, his sta- tion was one open to any efficient, ambitious gob. There is a big chance in the navy as well as in the merchant marine; and here is one place where the hot adventure-seeking blood of youth can have almost free play without mussing up the business. If we had it to do over again we would take on a term with Uncle Sam; especially in these days when the humble gob gets everything from shower baths to Chamber of Commerce receptions, and a free course in engineering. The new Hun constitution gives the empire ex- clusive rights governing colonies, but doesn’t sug- gest any means of getting the colonies. HOPE FOR FORESTS It is encouraging to note that something has been started, at least, to save from extinction the timber resources of the United States. ~The lumber industry is the third largest in this country. About one-fourth of our original forest wealth remains. THE NEW GROWTH IS ONLY ONE-THIRD OF THE AMOUNT CUT EVERY YEAR! ~ No mathematical genius is required to see the finish. Forest products are indispensable in al- . most every. ist of industry. Trees are needed for a long sities, from print paper to wagons, from lead pencils to airplanes, High cost of lum- ber means high cost of all these commodities, Action is promised through the efforts of the American Forestry association, which is gather- ing material to formualte a policy of governmental supervision of the lumber industry. The business reasons for conserving forests are making them- selves felt. In this case it is cheering to remember that business usually gets what it goes after, THE OTHER FELLOW’S VIEWPOINT When the desires, intentions and plans of two groups of men collide the civilized and rational thing to do is to gather in council and talk matters over. Free discussion makes for understanding and understanding is the gateway to peace. Capital and labor have been in the habit of waiting until their differences reach the stage of outbreak before coming into conference. They have met in hot blood; making demands; issuing ultimatums. Amicable agreements seldom arise from such deliberations. The Manly plan, devised by the chairman of the war labor board and embodied in the Poindexter- Kelly resolution, is before congress. It calls for the establishment of a round-table at which repre- sentatives of capital and labor shall meet to dis- cuss their problems. Its purpose is to lubricate the wheels of industry with the oil of common sense. Conditions certainly are ripe for the founding of such an institution, so that the common good may be a regarded issue in the increasing disputa- tions between employer and employed. It is significant that labor leaders have eagerly given their approval to the round-table proposal. Labor says, in effect, “We are willing to lay our cards on the table.” For the public, naturally, would be the invisible presence at all such confer- ences. Sordid selfishness cannot live in open day- light. Big business should see that if it has anything to lose by participating in conferences with the workers, it is bound to lose, anyway. the world. Its coming cannot be delayed. The fullest justice can only be obtained by party the people at large. The Poindexter-Kelly resolution should be act- ed upon at once. Mexico could live at peace with the world ex- cept for her ignorance, bandits and oil fields. Senator Hitchcock says the treaty has been in cold storage for five weeks. This is the most seri- ous charge yet brought against the packers. WITH THE EDITORS | BOTH WON “Why,” writes a correspondent from Ameri- cus, “do you jibe at the Ford libel suit? How would you like to be called an anarchist?” Not at all, brother; as we used to say in France, “Paw detoo!’ But if we were called an anarchist the last thing on earth we would do would be to start a lawsuit about it. Since dashing off the gibbering paragraph about the Ford case last week, anent the high cost of lying, we have something like this: Two grave mistakes were made in the Ford case; one by the Chicago Tribune in calling Ford an anarchist; and the other by Henry Ford in starting a libel suit. Only one man on earth ever made anything out of a libel suit against a newspaper, and that man was Col- onel Roosevelt. And he made it by his person- ality. Generally speaking, a libel suit is a poor sport’s way to prove that he is one. In the knock- down and drag-out of American politics, libel suits are the quitters’ weapons.—Emporia Gazette. THE MACDONALD APPOINTMENT The appointment of N. C. Macdonald to the position of rural inspector of public schools in the face of the protest of State Superintendent: of Public Instruction Minnie J. Nielson is only an- other instance that the powers that be are deter- mined to trample on Miss Nielson’s rights which were given her at the polls. The people of this state gave her a huge majority over Macdonald for the purpose that she might run the schools of the state, and during the campaign the Townley orators stated that there would be no curtailment of her powers. This is the way they keep their promises. Do our league friends in Barnes county where Miss Nielson has lived most of her life and been a valued member of this community and county, not only as a fine citizen but as a public official while county superintendent of schools, be- lieve that their league leaders are doing the square thing in this matter? And how long are they go- ing to let this kind of a new day that tramples on the rights of the elected officials by the people prevail? Secondly, no man with a spark of com- mon decency, placed in the same position as this man Macdonald would accept a position that is distasteful to the ‘head of the educational depart- ment and who gave him a real trouncing at the polls by the people’s vote. He should have pride enough not to take such a position but evidently he is so anxious to connect with the payroll of the state that we verily believe he would have ac- cepted the job of janitor at the state house if he Industrial justice is being demanded all over]; honest examination into the claims and rights of |/ hoth sides—and of the deeply interested third|| thought seriously about the Ford case, and as|| nearly as we can make out, our thoughts are}| | G ETTING AN EARF MONDAY, SEPT. 8, 1919.

It is on this point that Pres- ‘ident Wilson is making his present tour. The question before the people hall the peace treaty and league ot nations be adopted without any res- crvations, or shall reservations be in- clnded?” What Wilson Asks President Wilson and his followers urge the immediate adoption of the treaty without the inclusion of a single change, or the slightest ‘reservation. They claim that as it stands now it gives the United States ample protec- tion, that the Monroe Docrine is safe- guarded, that this country can not be forced into European brawls or wars without the consent of the people of the United States, that domestic af- fairs, such as tariff and immigration ‘are not affected by the league and that the United States does not sur- ||vender right or that is sovereignity is, or Can be infringed by this treaty. The “mild” reservationists who seem to have the largest support thruout the eountry claim that the treaty and the peace covenant are not sufficiently plain on these matters and that cer- tein reservations must be included in Ithe treaty. and league covenant so as !'ta remove the slightest possibility of their interpretations now or at a later time bing unfavorable to the United States. The Shantung Agreement Another feature over which there is ja decided split in the senate is the substitution of the word “China”. for “Japan” in the Shantung province set- tlement whereby under the treaty Jap- an is given the rights enjoyed by Ger- many in that territory.

As a war president, he served. his country well, With the entire country united for a single purpose, his guid- ing hand directed this country’s fu- ture, overcame tremendous — obstacles, accomplished a herculean task and emerged from the fray victorious. Dur- ing the war period, President Wilson was given a power greater than that ever wielded before in this country, or most any other civilized country. Going to Europe as the self appoint- ed peace emmissiary of the.. United States, President Wilson was acclaimed throughout the world’ as “the savior ot humanity” and the “protector of the rights of small nations.” With a draft of a league of nations in his! portfolio, he plunged into the male-|. strom of world polities, The treaty with Germany was based on his “fourteen points” enunciated before the Central Powers showed signs’ of weakening. At The Peace Table. Working with Lloyd George, Clemen- ceau, Orlando, Woodrow Wilson aided in the formulation of the peace treaty and the league of’ nations covenant. His own league scheme was not brought before the peace conference, but re- mained in the portfolio in which it crossed the ocean, It, was the plan prepared by General Smuts of South Africa that finally became the league of today. a Returning to this country, President Wilson urged the adoption of the treaty and league “without reservations.” But could get nothing better.—Valley City Times- Record, a decided and strong opposition to those Anstrumentene developed in; this country, Sei felt piqued that: PEOPLE AND PRESIDENT BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE.

A WELL DAY IN FIVE YEARS Mrs. Crawford Is Restored To Health By Tanlac After Everything Else Failed. “IT have been under treatment for about five years and have taken many different kinds of medicines, but Tan- lac is the only thing that has done me any good at all,” said Mrs. B, Craw- ford, who lives at 3122 North Madison st., Peoria, Ill, the other day. “It would be impossible,” continued Mrs, Crawford, “for me to describe the suffering I underwent and I didn’t have a well day in five years. Every- thing I ate disagreed, wit=/ime, and I would haye bad spells of indigestion after every meal, I was very nervous, too, and I never got a good night’s sleep, Sometimes I would get so dizzy that I was hardly. able to stand on my feet, These troubles just kept get- ting worse all the time and I finally got so weak and run down that I was not able to do any of my housework. “I was a long time making up my mind to take Tanlac but after reading the statements from so many good peo- ple right here in Peoria, that I de- cided to see if it would do me any good. Well, I must say that Tanlac is the best medicine I have ever seen. By the time I had finished my first bottle I was feeling like a different person, I have taken four bottles so far, and now Iam as Well and strong as I ever was in my life. My stomach troubles have been completely over- come, and I can eat just anything I want now, and-I never suffer after- wards. My nerves are in fine condition, and I sleep like ‘a child every night. I am telling everybody I meet about Tanlac, and have induced a good many of my friends to take it.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow, in Driscoll by N. D. and J. H. Barrett and in Wing by F. P. Homan.
