Mr. Frazier, we believe, made public only such | portions of that message as would best serve his own ends. Does Mr. Frazier want the lignite miners of | North Dakota to strike? i Does he see in the prejudice and antagonism and the bitterness and the hatred which would grow out of an industrial upheaval in this state an opportunity for the furtherance of! Bolshevism? Does he think of the comfort and safety of} the people of North Dakota whose interests he} had pledged himself to serve? Or does he think only of advancing along its path of desolation and destruction the Nonpartisan league and A. C. Townley, its master? * * * Instead of making public ALL of Mr. Lewis’ message, did Governor Frazier await the coming of Henry Drennan of Billings, district president? And Mr. Drennan, swollen with his importance, inflated with a little brief power, and thirsting for more, coveting, perhaps, the place which Mr.! Lewis holds, came, and he saw Governor Frazier, | he gauged the man and he recognized the oppor- tunity presented here to exalt Mr. Henry Drennan of Billings. 3 For three days while the conference of. coal operators which Mr, Frazier had called for Tues- day was pending, the governor and Mr. Drennan were in constant ‘consultation. The governor did not call in a single coal oper- ator to ascertain his views in advance; he did not invite in a single representative of the public. He did summon to the council table North Da- kota’s Townleyized labor leaders, S. S. McDonald and Frank Milhollan. * # * Organized labor does not constitute or repre- sent five per cent of North ‘Dakota’s population. The coal operators of North Dakota do not rep- resent or speak for one per cent. The. people, the great mass of North Dakota’s population, the 94 per cent to whom the governor, if he were governor, would hold himself respon- sible, were not consulted. For the people, thé 94 per cent, are not radical, and the governor knew it; the mass of the people are not in favor of the confiscation and demor- alization of our mines by a socialistic plunder- bund. he * * The governor did not consult the miners as a body, because he knew, and President Drennan knew, and the Townleyized leaders of North Da- kota’s organized labor knew, that the miners were satisfied with the contracts which they held. They knew that these contracts embodied a clause which would give the North Dakota miners, WITHOUT STRIKING OR WITH THREATEN- ING TO STRIKE, any advantages which the miners of the central competitive field might gain. - No, Governor Frazier conferred only with those whom he knew would play the game as he wanted to play it. 5 ‘ _ And if he has won and North Dakota has lost, eg ah hae ah see | Another ‘by a winter coal strike. Their cook stoves and their heat-|! eats iain aa there is no one but Governor Frazier to be blamed for it. If helpless women and children freeze to death in our towns and villages and our farm homes; if striking miners, driven to desperation by. hunger and cold and the flames of -passion cun- ningly fanned by socialistic agitators, commit crimes which they and the whole state will regret, on Governor Frazier’s head and no other be the guilt. THE COAL STRIKE In former years coal miners, when they struck, walked out in the spring, at which-time a curtail- ment of coal production was least felt in American homes. Winter was over, cold weather was dis- appearing, and most, families had quite a pile of left-over coal near the furnace door. It was by spring strikes that the United Mine Workers -of America won recognition of their junion, shorter hours, higher wages, and better working conditions. This they did without the terrors of a coalless winter to aid them. Less than one-sixth of all coal mined, and a still smaller proportion of bituminous produced, is used for home cooking and heating purposes. ~ The home demand could not have been a great factor in the winning or losing of a strike. It was shut- ting off coal to the big industrial users, and the railroads, that brought the coal operators to their knees and compelled their yielding to the demands of the workers. Railroads and industrials use little more coal in winter than in spring or summer. The large jrailroads and industrials have coal surpluses piled | ’ up against a shortage for from one to six months. The smaller concerns will be hit first and hardest. That always has been the fate of the “little fellow.” A winter coal strike and the consequent de- crease in coal production will hurt neither the big nor the little industrial user more than a spring strike would. But it will be felt more severely sixth of all coal mined. Now as to the one-sixth: by a coal expert that less than 10 per cent of all homes put in their winter coal in the summer. 10 per cent, it is estimated, get the win- ter’s coal in the fall. The four-fifths of all homes buy their coa] a ton or so at a time. Many buy it a bushel at a time. S And those are the people who will be hit hardest Their supply will melt away rapidly. ing stoves will be empty. The rich and the well-to-do have their winter coal. The poor have theirs to get. Their pocket- books limits their coal buying. And these will feel the winter coal strike worst of all. The win- sion. It will bring the temperature down to the freezing oint, in the homes of the poor. In these | homes tke lack of-heat will spell discomfort, dis- ease and death. Of course we can understand that it would be fine for labor to share in the profits. But what will happen when the business shows a loss? ne eth WITH THE EDITORS | ee THE INSPIRED TYPEWRITER Says Vicente Blasco Ibanez, the great Spanish novelist, who is now in this country, speaking of methods of literary composition: “You can dictate a public speech or a lecture or something like that, but you can’t dictate a novel. You have to write it yourself. A novelist is-like an ostrich; he needs to bury his head in the sand. A typewriter is a great distraction. You could not write poetry on a typewriter, and you could not write a novel on a typewriter.” Maybe Ibanez will change his mind after he has been in America a while. Certain it is that a good many, American novels—or at least what pass for novels in this country—have been written right down on the typewriter out of the author’s own heads with their own hands. So have many American plays, and even many American poems. This results largely from the fact that so many American writers have risen to authorship through newspaper work. Nearly all newspaper “copy” in this country is typewritten. Having become accustomed to this mode of composition, a writer naturally keeps it up in more pretentious work. . It is probably all a question of what a person is used to, anyway. One who has used a type- writer much generally finds that it is a great deal easier to pound the keys than to write by hand. In fact, the handwriting of a typewriter addict usually deteriorates for this very reason. The clatter of the machine soon ceases to be a distrac- tion. And there are certain advantages in it that cannot be overlooked. The copy is much more legible and easy to correct, and has so nearly the appearance of printed matter that the author can tell better how it is going to look in its final form. For this reason even poetry is often com- posed on the typewriter, especially newspaper and magazine verses. As for, dictation, Senor Ibanez may be wrong, tho!’ There “is a surprising quantity of “good stuff” being dictated in this country today, fiction included. Poetry is often dictated; and yet, there is a notable example that the Spanish author seems to have overlooked, Milton dictated every, line of “Paradise Lost.”— Aberdeen American. cae a BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE by the home consumers, those who use only a It has been estimated | ter coal strike won’t chill the millionaire’s man-|| TREASURER MARSH peri sste One year has passed since had triumphed.

PESSIMISTIC VIEW OF TEUTON FUTURE; Director of North Gérman Lloyd) Sees End of Commerce Hamburg, Oct, 5—(By The Associa- ted Press)—A very pessimistic view of the future of German seafaring is drawn by Hen Heinekin, Director- General of the North German Lloyd, in the new year book of the line, “Out of the destruction ofthe whole German economic situation as it is determined by the peace document, the. destruction of Germanys’ shipping fol- lows as a matter of course,” he writes. As two of the chief losses sustained ly German shipping, he cites the re- duction of German territory and the transfer of German railroads to for- eign interests” so ‘that, he says the Rhine shipping in’ part, the Vistula shipping, entirely, comes under foreign control. : ‘ Loss of industries such as the pot- {ash works in Alsace, the:textile fact- ories and iron mines in’ Lorraine and Luxemburg, he declares will be heavi ly felt by the German shipping be- cause these industries will direct their STIFF JOINTS SORE MUSCLES Limber Up Quickly Under the Soothing, J Penetrating Application of Hamlin’s Wizard Oil In ¢ases of rhewmatism and lame back it penctrates quickly, drives out soreness, and limbers-up stiff, aching foints and muscles, ©. aah Wizard Oil is an, absolutely’ reli- able, antiseptic application for cuts, burns, bites, and stings.* Sprains and / bruises, heal readily- tinder its sooth- | ing, Vent qual ad Get it from druggists for 30 cents. {f not-satisfied return the bottle and get your moneéy-back. «4. = Bae Eve; constipated’<or have. sick headache?
