Circumstances seek, test and place men who are masters of them. Henry Phipps, Andrew Carnegie, his brother, Tom Carnegie and H. C. Frick were responsible for the steel industry in its larger development. In referring to this group, a friend once re- marked to H. C. Frick: “How fortunate it was that the steel industry had you men.” “How fortunate for us that we had the oppor- tunity of the steel industry,” replied Frick; “for if it had not been us it would have been others. “We came in at the development of the de- mand for steel, and we had to develop with the job of supplying that demand.” —— When the police strike, we can call on the sol- diers. But what shall we do when the soldiers strike? MISMANAGING THE EARTH Man’s genius for blundering is colossal. Its manifestation in the war is hardly more striking than the everyday blundering, on a large scale and small, that we have in peace times. Herbert Hoover reports that seaport ware- houses in northern Europe are packed with food- stuffs, principally meats, fats and dairy products, which are in danger of spoiling because there is no market for them! America supplied its portion of these goods. They can’t be sold, because the people of Eur- ope lack credits. They were shipped and stored by speculators, who now hold them for high prices which can’t be paid. Meanwhile in America the cry of “shortage” goes up to explain high prices. And the pinch of hunger afflicts large populations in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Germany and the Baltic states. Four billions in credits would be needed, Mr. Hoover says, to relieve the situation. It would be interesting to see what arguments would be advanced against an embargo regulating the exportation of necessities from the United States. McCumber says Lodge’s report is “selfish, im- moral and dishonorable.” But otherwise, of course, it is quite all right. SERVANTS OF THE SEA The movement to rebuild the American mer- chant marine will develop a new generation of men of the type which at one time made fame for the United States in every port of the world. Yankee ships and Yankee skippers were un- surpassed. The Stars and Stripes at the masthead stood for seamanship. No concerns of land call for the combination of loyalty and skill needed in the guidance of the affairs of a ship. The pay is small—the master of a trans-Atlantic liner receiving at the most $5000 a year—and the obligations and the hardships are great. Men do not go to sea to get rich nor to have an easy time. They go because they are seamen at heart. There sailed the other day from Bath, Me., a schooner whose captain was 24 years old, handling his first command. His vessel went ashore near ( Wilmington, N. C., and Captain Cochran, when he saw that it would be necessary to abandon the schooner, shot himself. In that tragedy, as rash and needless as it was, is expressed the spirit of the sea as it is felt by mariners. j How many men ashore feel their honor to be bound up with the interests of their employers to the extent that a ship’s master does? Life at sea is for real men, and America will be able to supply them to meet the needs of grow- ing mercantile fleets even as she did half century ago. Caught between packers and strikers, the old law of supply and demand is beginning to look like something the cat dragged in. CO-OPERATIVE BUILDING It is just as logical for an individual to own a floor, or a part of a floor of a building as a lot on a street. If this is true then why is it that there is not more co-operative building in this country? The idea is particularly applicable’ to apart- ment houses just now when dwelling places are sorely needed in these cities. Around Gramercy Park, New York, there are Sapeanence vend enter Tr Las commas ceva wena temceeate sina a number of large apartment houses owned in a co- The practice is quite common in Greater New York for those who would otherwise be tenants to, join together and build, occupy and own a structure in common. There are builders and real estate promoters in New York who erect apartment’ houses and sell them at completion on a cash or time plan to occu- pants. ; But we have never heard of the idea finding its way westward to any extent. We are told that a six-suite apartment house, including land, would represent an investment of about’ $42,000. ) This means that each owner-occupant would carry $8000 as his share of the investment, or $4000 if the property were mortgaged for 50 per cent. The co-operators naturally form themselves into a stock company and the certificates of stock represent the ownership of an individual apart- ment as in the case of a deed representing the ownership of a house and lot. The apartment house is becoming a very com- mon means of abode in America. It is not just an economic way around the high land values of great cities; for apartment houses are being built in the smaller cities where land values are low. Housewives find them a solution of the domes- tic labor problem—all or in part. The apartment house is congestion, but scien- tific congestion—decent congestion for purposes of economy in living. They are not objectionable for the bringing up of young children when properly built and ar- ranged with play space in the basement for bad weather and in the yard for good weather. There are a few apartment houses over the country where persons without children are not permitted to become tenants and rather than the other way around. The co-operative ownership of an apartment house is a simple means of aggregating individual sums for the economy of the enlarged operation of a building enterprise. . / _ D’Annunzio has the heart of a patriot. It is unfortunate that nature denied him a head to co-operate with it. 5 Eight-hour day, six-hour day, three-hour day. | And finally just report in the morning to see that the boss is working. Southern textile workers have been losing all. their strikes. They are the lowest-paid class of labor in America. Q. E. D. The reason the doctors don’t go on strike is because they are afraid to let us know how well we can get along without them. And yet we would go wild and bite ourselves if Carranza should send a punitive expedition after those Pueblo citizens who lynched two Mexicans. We Americans delight in scolding the greaser because he is lazy. But why should he work when he can capture Americans and hold them for ran- som? A church publication says the Japs are more moral than Americans because Jap films show very little kissing. But who would wish to kiss a Jap? As example of how thoroughly Europe has adopted our idealism, consider this statement by one of her politicians: ‘We must labor to adjust the American point of view to the European.” Gall, what? emo WITH THE EDITORS | TOWNLEY’S SENTENCE Light as the sentence of Townley and his un- impértant colleague may seem—only three months —it is sufficient to serve as a warning, and its sig- nificance will not be mistaken by men and women of his turn of thought. - Townley was the organ- izer and chief of the so-called Nonpartisan league, a league which was truly nonpartisan in the sense that it eschewed both parties and made war direct- ly on the institutions and traditions of the United States of America. His nonpartisan and anti-American league has gone very well in the state of its origin, North Dakota, but it made a mistake when it overstepped its geographical boundaries and invaded the state of Minnesota. There may be revolutionaries, sedi- tionists, and cranks in Minnesota, as there are in every state from Maine to California, but the heart of the fine old state is as true as it was when Alexander Ramsey led it to the defense of the Union. It is no place for enemies of the Union. The jury sat long on the case of Townley and his tool, and rendered its verdict only after the most elaborate exposition of the defense. The judge who sentenced them was not too severe. The sentence will serve for a while. Perhaps Townley will come oyt of jail breathing new’ sedition, as Eugene Debs and Kate O’Hare certainly will if they are set free; but Minnesota, like Boston and Macon, has served notice that it is going to have a republican form of government, That is some-| thing worth while, in these..daya—New York Times, \) z aaa operative way by the persons who occupy them. | BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE conducting a nation-wide campaign more members: million new Oct. 1. The Tribune invited the acting head of the American Legion, Colonel Henry D. Lindsley, to tell WHY he believes the legion is worthy of united support! from ex-soldiers, Colonel Lindsley, former mayor of Dallas, served in the war risk section! of the War Department. both in Wash- ington and France.

We recognize that the supreme ob- ligation of the citizen is to the state, and’ that the power of America to as- sume this obligation without hesitatioa and without limitation enabled us) 1ot to play our part in the winning of} the great war, but gave a re-birth to national patriotism and national faith. This renaissance of national patrio.- ism, born of national suffering and na- tional self-sacrifice, must not die. It has been consecrated by those who gave their lives that America may live, the home of a free people. It has been made sacred through the willinz sacrifice of 100,000,000 Americans, It must be the guiding light in enabling America to rightly solve the problems of this new day. The American Legion is a mili- tant organization; it is not a military organization. The Amer- ican Legion is interested in and intends to influence the policies of the United States; it is not a partisan or political organization. and it will not become interested in party or partisan politics, nor in the political fortunes of any men or set of men. The American Legion will not dis- tract its attention with consideration of a multiplicity of problems. It does intend to thoroughly understand the problems which have~to do with the welfare of those who served in this war and of their dependents, and It does furthermore intend that the solu- tion of these problems shall be brought HEARTBURN " Caused by Acid-Stomach That bitter heartburn, belching. food- repeating. indigestion, bloat after eating— all are cavfsod by acid-stomach.

E. A. Special to The Tribune. Nogales, Ariz—Loud and vigorous have been the denials of public men in Mexico that there is any widespread feeling in that country against the Americans. How much those denials are worth is shown by the recent speech of Alvaro Obregon at Nogales. Obregon is one of the two candidates for president of Mexico, in the forth- coming election. Therefore it is logical to suppose that his remarks are intended not only for the people of the United States, but for home consumption. And Obregon makes the statement, that: . “Whatever the excuse for launching armed intervention against Mexico and whatever the pledges shall -be, I shall be ready to take the field against the armed forces.” Obregon has traveled extensive Do You WISH To SPEAK To Him?

RAILROAD MAN I OUT WITH FACTS He Was So Rundown He Had To Quit Work—-Gains Twenty | Pounds Taking Tanlac “The best proof I can give that Tan- lad was ‘the right thing for. me) is the way it has relieved my trouble and built me up,” said Charles 0, Schwen- del of 3115 Vilet st., Milwaukee, Wis., while in the Central Drug Store re. ‘ eently. Mr. Schwendel, who is night switchman in the yards of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, has lived in Milwaukee “all his life and is well known, =‘ “Tanlac has not only relieved me of a case of stomach trouble that had made life miserable for me for three or four years,” he continued, “but it has put me in shape to where I have actually gained twenty pounds in weight, besides., I have gotten to where nothing I would eat agreed with me and many a time just the sight or smell of, food would nauseate. me, Many a time right after eating I would have terrific pains in my stom- ach. I would bloat up terribly with the gas from my stomach and have such~pains ardund my heart that I feared I had heart trouble. Thece were times when this gas would- al- most cut off my breath and these~at- tacks would make me so weak'I could hardly stand up, ‘Honestly, I would get so dizzy at times, on bending over to throw a switch, that I would pitch forward and have to catch ' on’ my hands and knees. My stomach bothered me So much that I coudn’t sleep more than two hours a day. .I just felt fag- ged out all the time and simply had to force myself to work. “T had tried everything I. heard of in the way of medicines, but got no better. Then I laid off from work and spent some’ time in the country, hat everytime I ate anything I suffered the same old way. Then I came home and one of my, neighbors persuaded me to try Tanlac. I had little faith in it to help me, but I certainly do he- lieve in it now, for it has made me feel like a brand new man. I am vat- ing just anything and everything I want without the least trouble from it, and I can lie down and sleep like a log. In fact, I never have an ache or a pain of any kind and will always have a good word for Tanlac.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow, in Driscoll by N. D. and J. H. Barrette and in Wing by H. P. Homan. Advt.

Therefore Obregon must be appeal- ing to the hatred and dislike of Ameri- cans which he knows exists through- out his native land. . And so long as Mexicans of the standing of Obregon appeal to the passions of their ignorant countrymen in order to further their own personal ambitions, so long/ will the conditions continue to exist’ in’ Mexico that are daily bringing nearer the day of inter- vention. a ea re FILM MEN LOSERS AS BRITISH MONEY FALLS London—Fall in the value of British money in New York is costing English film distributors $20,000 a week.
