CK TRIBUNE BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA WEDNESDAY, SEPT 10, 1919. " PRICE FIVE CENTS THIRTY-NINTH YEAR, NO. 207. PEACE, Wilson’s address in full follows: Governor Frazier, my fellow-coun- trymen, I esteem it a great privilege to stand in your presence and to con- tinue the discussion that I have been attempting in other parts of the coun- try of the great matter which is pend- ing for our determination. I say it is pending for our determination because, after all, it is a question for the men and women of the United States. I believe that the gentlemen at Wash- ington are trying to assess the opin- ion of the United States and trying to express it. It seems very strange from day to day as I go about that I should be dis- cussing the question of peace. It seems very strange that after six months spent in Paris, where minds of more than twenty nations were brought together, where after the most profound consideration of every question, of every angle of every question concerned, an extraordinary agreement should have been reached; an extraordinary concurrence of minds should have been reached and that every other country concerned has stopped debating the thing and that America is debating it. It seems very strange to me, my fel- low countrymen, because, as a matter of fact, we are debating the question of peace or war. There is only: one way to have peace and that is to have it by the concurrence of the minds of the world. America can’t bring about peace by herself.. No other nation can bring about peace by itself.

North Dakota’ gave President Woodrow Wilson a heart stir- ring, typical western welcome today when he arrived in Bismarck to speak on the peace treaty and the league of nations covenant. It was a state-wide outpouring of enthusiasm to ‘the ‘nation’s chief that will down in the annals of the state’s history.as the most spontaneous and splendid reception ever tendered a digniary within the borders of the Flickertail state. -Escorted: by (Daredevil?

Then the signal to start was given and the procession led by Adjutant General Fraser as grand marshall and Capt. A. A, Jones,*commander of the American Legion was under way. Immediately following the marshall came the Elks’ band blaring forth the marches that were, famliar to the dense throng that had gathered around the station to greet the President.

The president tipped his hat.and smiled at the enraptured jlittle girl and Mrs. Wilson graciously wafted littte Betty a kiss.

Halliday came in bright and | early this morning more than 500 strong. A long line of guests were picked up from a number of north branch -towns, but the train was Halliday’s, Halliday‘s was the en- | terprise, and Hallidayites formed the great majority of the passen- gers.

Ladd, food commissioner of North Dakota, advocated the sup- pression of “quack patent medi- cine advertising” and denounced the farmers who sell milk, cream, butter and eggs that are “unfit for human consumption’ in an ad- dress. delivered to members of the American Association of Dairy Food, and Drug Officials at their annual convention here today. He advocated closer cooperation be- tween state and municipal officers to bring about an improvement in dairy products. Dr. Ladd asserted that butter was bsing adulterated with 22 per- cent of water and that milk and cream are kept under unsanitary conditions. MACDONALD MAKES LAST ATTEMPT TO, SET ASIDE VOTES Repudiated State Superintendent of Public Instruction in Su- preme Court Tuesday The final hearing of the Neil Mac- donald fight for the office of super- intendent of public instruction was held ‘béfore the supreme court Tues- day afternoon. When Miss ‘Nielson ap- peared to take office Macdonald re- fused to give up his place, and ithe supreme court ousted him largely on the showing of the election returns. ‘Neil then brought suit before Judge iNuessle in district court, ‘| Miss Nielson unqualified not having a certain grade of teachers certifi- cate, Judge Nuessle in dismissing the case remarked to [Macdonald “You haven't a leg to stand on.” Macdonald took an appeal to the supreme court.

Stewart, who is also publisher of the Wilton News, and Mrs. Stewart are among the lignite city folk here to greet Wilson. Joseph Mann is one of a numerous ;ment of a small group of nations can- not bring about peace. World Not at Peace The world is not at peace. It is not, except in certain disturbing quarters actually using military uses of war, |but the mind of the world is not at peace. The mind of the world is wait- ing for the verdict, and the verdict they are waiting for is this—shall we have in the future the same dangers, the same suspicions, the same distrac- tions and shall we expect that out of these dangers and distractions foreign conflict will arise, or shall we expect that the world will be willing to sit down at the conference table to talk the thing over; to delay all use of force until the world is willing to ex- press its judgment on the matter at issue. Because if this be not the solu- tion, if the world is not to substitute discussion for war, then the world is not now in a state of mind to have peace, only for the time being. Victory Not Complete While victory. has been won, my fellow countrymen, it is won only over the force of a particular group of na- tions. It has not been won over the objections of those nations, but over the objections of the nations that were Set, a: » This treaty, which I have’ back with me, is a great world settlement, and it tries to deal with some of the elements of passion which were likely at any time to blaze out in the world and now have blazed out and set the world on fire. The Heart of Europe The trouble was at the heart of Europe. The heart of Europe, there were suffering peoples with hearts on fire held in the grip of military power, submitting to nothing but force, their spirits insurgent, s long as that condition existed there could not be the ‘expectation of continued peace and this great settlement at Paris for the first time in the world considered the cry of the people and did not listen to the please of government. They did not listen to the demands of autoc- racy; they did not read over the whole story of rival territorial ambitions but said the door is closed on that. These lands belong to the stocks of ancient people, stocks of people that live upon them. . We are going to give them to those people. They said the land al- ways should have been yours; it is now yours and you can govern it as you please. That is the principle that is at the heart of this treaty, but if that (Continued on Page Four.) American Republic. torium today.

Following their presentation ot the Auditorium theatre of their reason against acceptance of the covenant and treaty, they will take the trail of the president, each following a separate route so as to cover the greater part of the United States. ‘Leading men of obth parties in the state have announced their intention of being present at tonight’s meeting, regarded throughout the country as the real beginning of the campaign to be conducted by forces opposed to the league of nations.

Reserving to the United tSates the exclusive right to decide what Anestions are within its own jurisdic- tion. 4, Absolute reservation of the Mon- roe Doctrine to the judgment of the United States alone. The principal amendments are proposed to provide: Equal voting power for the United States with Great Britain in the as- sembly of the league. China Gets Shantung Giving to China instead of Japan the province of Shantung. Release of the United tSates from having representative in commissions edciding matters in which it has no concern. : Others concern phraseology. These amendments and reservations the report says are submitted “to pre- serve American independence and American sovereignty and thereby best serve the welfare of mankind.” No Fear Of Non-Acceptance Fears that other nations may not ac- cept an amendment covenant the re- ports dismissed with the statements, “that is one thing that certainly will not happen. The other is a wreck and all their gain from a victorious peace are imperilled.” ' That the adoption of the amend- ments will necessitate reassembling of the peace conference the report denies asserting that the conference probably will be insession for 6 months more in Paris and might as well be “at least as usefully employed” as “they now are in dividing and sharing south- eastern Europe and Asia Minor.” At the outset the majority reports | (Continued. on.Page Three; OR WAR THE ISSUE, DECLARES WILSON FULL TEXT OF WILSON’S ADDRESS |WE MUST SAY WORD THAT WILLSUBSTITUTE DISCUSSION FOR FORCE The issue America faces today is “peace or war?” President Wilson in- formed his Bismarck audience at the opening of his address at the audi- Reviewing briefly the world’s war, he asked: “Shall we have in the future the same dangers, the same dis- tractions, the same disturbances, the same destruction, or may we expect that the world will sit at a council table and delay all use of force until there is time for deliberate discussion. If the world is not ready for that it is not ready for peace.” Referring to the ages-old battle for bread, which President Wilson de- clared at the bottom of all wars, he said: “The Lord’s prayer opens with, ‘Give us this day our daily bread.’ The Saviour knew that a man can’t serve God or man on an empty stomach.” The world’s bread, he declared, can be made secure only by a cessation of wars and rumors of wars. War can be made impossible only by a league of nations covenant such as America is today asked to ratify. {holding its breath and waiting to see what America will do, the { Right to Decide Questions Within Own Jurisdiction Retained | N°" Dakota's WHOLE WORLD WAITING “The whole world is waiting upon us, and if we stay out or qualify our assent in any way the world will say there can be no peace. ‘Let us stay out and take care of ourselves,’ some of our countrymen say. I do not agree with that as a matter of senti- ment. Furthermore I do not believe it would work out in practice. “Are we here in the United States disconnected from the rest of the world—can we stay out and look after our own affairs? If Europe is at war who is going to consume your wheat? We pro- duce more wheat than we can use. We must have a world market. “WE HAVE MANAGED IN OUR PROCESSES OF CIVILI- ZATION TO MAKE A WORLD THAT CANNOT BE TAKEN TO PIECES. WE MUST HAVE EVERY PART OF THIS INTRI- CATE MACHINE ASSEMBLED AND WORKING IN HARMONY. NATIONS NOT SELF-SUFFICIENT “Outside of the United States there is no country in the world which can live without importation. Because the world is great coal fields of central Europe are being operated at only forty percent of their capacity. “YOU CAN’T DISENTANGLE THE UNITED STATES FROM THE REST.OF THE WORLD. . ; Peer aes “AMERICA WAS NOT FOUNDED TO MAKE MONEY—IT WAS FOUNDED TO LEAD THE REST OF THE WORLD TO LIBERTY. “There are some men among us who do not know whether we want to go in or not, BUT WE KNOW.” AUDIENCE APPROVES These declarations were greeted with tumultous cheering by a crowd which had up to this point received the president’s words in sober silence.
