THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER, (Established 1878) GB ——$—$—— HOUSE OUR HOMELESS Bismarck can never become a great city until it meets its emergencies in a big way. It is not enough that we spend millions in pav- ing our streets and making other municipal im- provements .if these streets are not lined with happy, contented homes. Bismarck must house its homeless before it can hope to achieve any great growth. The crying shame of our city today is that it is attempting to make no provision for the scores who are within our gates without an adequate shelter. It isn’t a question of immediate returns on the investment; it is not a question of whether we can afford to put our money into homes. The} question today is, CAN WE LONGER AFFORD) NOT TO BUILD HOMES, AT ANY PRICE? If Bismarck cannot care for these people they will seek some other town that can and will. The housing problem is not peculiar to Bis- marck, except in this respect: Bismarck is making no concerted attempt to meet the situation, while other cities are. The cities that face this problem and solve it will profit from their farsight in the years to come when the cities that fall down now will be wondering why they have been passed up in the procession of progress. Bismarck isn’t that kind of a city. Let’s get busy and tell the world. FAVORABLE PUBLICITY Publicity has a dollar and cents value that the most successful and the greatest of corporations recognize. A city is a corporation, and a city can benefit just as hugely from publicity as can, for instance, the Standard Oil Co., or the United States Steel corporation, or Swift & Co., or Henry Ford, or any of the thousand and one other big enterprises that spend millions of dollars every year for printers’ ink. Bismarck, therefore, may regard itself singu- larly fortunate in having procured at a nominal price an unusual amount of favorable publicity during the last two or three months. First there was the motor truck development tour which gave Bismarck two days and which advertised this city far and wide as one of the points which it found worth while on its five- thousand-mile jaunt. ; Then there was Mr. Wilson and his distin- guished party. Bismarck was the only city of its size which Mr. Wilson favored with a visit. He made the most of his two hours here, and the corps of newspaper correspondents and camera- men who accompanied him made the most of Mr. Wilson. The result was more advertisement for our city. Then came Col. Hartz on his round-the-rim flight, and General Hugh Scott and Major General Leonard Wood, and there are other men and events still to come, all contributing their bit in publicity which will keep Bismarck before the nation’s eye. To make advertising profitable one must “have the goods.” Bismarck has the goods, and it has been sufficiently advertised. The question now is i whether we can meet the demand for production. Our good city has been “sold” iri a commercial sense. It is up to us to deliver. That means tak- ing advantage of every opportunity which comes our way. It means that we must be always alert and that we must keep everlastingly at it. It means, among other things, that we must inject new life into our commercial club and then get back of our club and make its ideas and its efforts count for something. And, in passing, it might be mentioned that community success is dependent upon a full devel- opment of the community spirit—upon getting to- gether and staying together and pulling together —upon the acquisition of a sense that the com- munity is bigger than any individual possibly can be and that the community in all things must come first. ; to take no thought for the morrow. ‘not use less talk and more jails? ... six-hourday. | 500 WITH THE EDITORS oo At last everybody is obeying the injunction, _ Government fight for lower prices succeeded in increasing prices one per cent in August. Why England need no longer grieve because Ameri- can coal miners produce(more than hers. Ours are getting ready to strike for a five-day week and a are strong enough to get away with it. That is the old-fashioned standard of right. Sardines are worth neither more nor less than before the war. They were never worth a darn. Villa objects to being called a bandit. But the word “Hun” has been overworked and he isn’t mean enough to be called a profiteer. Any complaint about the way the two great political parties are balling things up is an indict- ment of the people who have little enough sense to stand for it. oD THE CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR AND THE BONUS The World’s War Veterans favor the same bonus for conscientious objectors who donned the khaki as is to be given to the men who put their lives in jeopardy or who offered their lives if they had been needed. Presumably they will also enroll them on equal terms with other members. At least that would be consistent with the proposal as to the bonus. This looks like a curious misconception of real values. Now we have no wish to be unfair to the honest conscientious objector, who, having been excused from combat service, did his duty as a non-combatant. But to concede to him exemption from a soldier’s supreme duty and then put him on the same standing with respect to the reward from the state with the man who performed that duty is to exhibit a singular lack of discrimination, to say the least. We do not believe the people of the state have any idea of providing twenty millions of dollars for the men who went to war, whether they crossed over or not, and recognizing as equal claimants for that bounty men who begged off from military duty, no matter what their plea may have been. We hope they have clearer views of what their obligations are than that and will exer- cise a fairer judgment of the relative values of the services rendered.—Minneapolis Tribune. SOCIALISM’S SUICIDE Socialist pretensions to internationalism col- lapsed like a bubble when the militarist masters of Germany in 1914 undertook to wage a war of conquest. Since then, according to that compe- tent student of economic facts, Herbert C. Hoover, socialism has been wrecking itself on the “rock of production.” The philosophy of the Lenins, the Spartacists and the Bela Kuns has been tried, and in Mr. Hoover’s words, has “proved itself with rivers of blood and suffering to be an economic and spiritual fallacy.” Wherever Marxism has been applied by vision- aries who imagined that a social revolution and a new order of things economic, industrial and finan- cial can be forced on a nation by a dictatorship of the so-called proletariat the result has been—to quote Mr. Hoover again—“extraordinary lowering of productivity to a point below the necessity for continued existence.” American and British workmen, fortunately, appreciate the soundness of Mr. Hoover’s observa- tions. They are not being stampeded into “revo- lutionary strikes,” or other attempts to overthrow the present system, which is the result of ages of preparation and evolution and which is capable of continued gradual improvement under the guid- ance of enlightened representatives of employers, labor and the public acting in concert and striving to achieve more complete justice—Chicago News. MR. GOMPERS AND HIS CONVERTS Mr. Gompers appears to have great faith in new converts, when their conversion is to his own way of thinking. In the senate’s steel strike inquiry, when Mr. Wilson’s declaration of 1909 that he was “a fierce partisan of the open shop,” was cited, Mr. Gom- ie: HA-o DADDY ! ) FouND MY FOOTBALL VP IN “THE ATTIC. eC phen —Home.

Foster, one of the chief organizers and leaders of the steel strike, was brought forth, showing him to have been a fiery syndicalist, a preacher of violence, and an I. W. W., Mr. Gompers explained that Foster no longer believes in these revolutionary ideas, and is now a trusted leader of organized labor. If the exigencies and experience of political life have convinced Mr. Wilson that his partisanship for the open shop is no longer—well, let us say ad- visable, he will probably adhere to his new policy and belief with characteristic tenacity. Mr. Gom- pers can count upon him. But we advise Mr. Gompers not to be too sure of Brother Foster as a reformed syndicalist. He may backslide. Indeed, he may never have in- tended to stick. In Chicago has been exhumed an article written by Foster in 1911 wherein he urged his I. W. W. comrades to work through the Ameri- can Federation of Labor and “make it a revolu- tionary organization.” Now eight years later we find Brother Foster working through the American Federation of Labor, and helping precipitate a great strike in the steel industry. Mr. Gompers may well ask him- self and his conservative, patriotic and law-abid- ing colleagifs whether Brother Foster will indeed stand without hitching.

When John Kemble, the gifted trage- dian, was married, he returned to the stage to play Hamle: on his wedding evening. Whether his mind became so absorbed in the character as to ex- clude all other matters of vital impor- tance, we cannot say; but for the time he forgot his waiting bride and what had befallen him on that fateful day, and went off to his own room on the conclusion of the performance at the theater, POISON _LIKE UNTO Vemon of Snakes Professor’ H. Strauss, M. D.; of the Royal Charity Hospital, says, ‘The vause for an attack of gout, rheumatism, umbago, is supplied by the increase of tric acid in the blood serum, the result of various causes, the most frequent of which is renal. Before an attack, one suffers sometimes from headache, neural: sia, twinges of pain here and there.” When your kidneys feel like lumps of ead, when the back hurts or the urine 8 cloudy, full of sediment, or you, are abliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; when you suffer with tick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, tcid stomach; or yon have rheumatic pains or lumbago, gout, sciatica when ihe weather is bad, do not neglect the warning, but try simple means.
