Not long ago when the President made his very strange, not to say remarkable, selection of dele- gates to represent the public in the national indus- trial conference which ended in such a sad fizzle, there were thousands of persons who asked in bewilderment and amazement—“Just what kind of public does Wilson think those men represent ta Well, it’s a rather puzzling question—who is the public. It’s easy enough to say that in an in- dustrial conference the public is everybody not included in the terms “labor” and “capital.” But that does not help us to visualize the elements of the nation that most certainly need representa- tion and thoughtful care. A man made a list the other day which rather struck us. He said some of the impoxtant com- ponent parts of the public were: The children. The aged. The unemployed. The sick and disabled. The unorganized manual workers. The unorganized clerical workers. The professional people. The persons living upon small fixed incomes. In none of the conferences between organized labor and organized capital are the interests of any of these classes taken into very serious con- sideration. And that last is the beauty of the court of in- dustry, which so many Americans—men and women—are advocating. While seeking to pre- serve the peace in the industrial world, while try- ing to compose the differences between labor and capital, it would also, bear in mind the interests, the needs and the desires of the millions of persons comprising the general public. It would seek to help not two classes of the nation, but all of the nation. BINOCULARS AND WALNUTS The human mind is a great institution. And it does a number of funny things.’ It climbs mountains with a laugh, and stumbles over mole hills and nigh breaks its neck. Yesterday we bought two things. A pound of walnuts and a pair of binoculars. pair of field glasses in a lifetime, they bring new worlds to view, they give you intimacy with the isolated peaks, and let you play with the waves off there on the horizon; they also enable you, to spot a stray horse two miles off, and give inti-; mate information about what the neighbors have) for supper if you have a prying spirit. So $45 for that sort of a friend, companion and genii is cheap enough. Ue ASTO0| Sea svwse TON viction in common. Organized labor opposes ‘the use of the injunc- tion. All of Germany was bitterly opposed to the strategy of Foch. The radical and the conservative have one con- It is that the world would be better off without the opposition. Senator Thomas thinks the labor clause in the treaty will lower American labor to the level of China and India. Or rather, he says that. | Orthodox Italian forces have clashed with D’Annunzio, but the force was not large enough to make him an outlaw instead of a patriot. Imagine putting on an old gray sweater to re- ceive a queen. No wonder Europe can’t under- stand Wilson and the democracy he interprets. It really doesn’t matter whether a military com- mission or an international staff succeeds the su- preme council, just so it is some sort of body with a little authority. Holland’s position is that the kaiser is free to go back to Germany if he chooses. For that mat- ter he is free to commit suicide in any other fash- ion. ne ee mel WITH THE EDITORS | oa erences PURE POLITICAL BUNK There is no longer any doubt as to just where Governor Frazier stands in the coal strike matter. His proclamation of late Wednesday afternoon, wherein he declares martial law in the coal regions and announcing that he will operate the union mines in the name of the state until such time as an agreement that does not expire until next Sep- tember—shows conclusively that the chief execu- tive has unequivocally cast his lot with the 2,000 miners as against the people of the state in the matter of coal costs. The proclamation, taken in connection with the declaration of President Drennan of the miners’ union, that there will be no agreement between the miners and the operators except upon the basis of a 60 per cent increase in pay, stands out with startling clarity as against the cheap prattle of the governor that he is the savior of the dear people and is “determined to see that they get coal” and escape the danger of freezing to death. The whole performance of the governor in this muddle but for him, and that it is part and parcel to the people.—Beach Advance. MR.

A very large proportion of the men in ‘the service. who had insurance have permitted it to lapse or have cancelled it because of several objec- tionable ‘features to the present law.

We remember the time when walnut growers considered ten cents a pound a fat profit. -And walnut groves sold at $2,500 an acre when walnuts were retailing at 25 cents a pound. Any way you look at it, ’tis robbery. A hazel nut is a filbert nowadays, and worth|favored the strike and promised to take over the more than most of the other semi-precious stones. Five years ago we saw a hickory nut. If a paw paw, or a frost-ripened persimmon, waltzed right up to us on a lonely corner and offered to shake hands we wouldn’t know it; we would think it was some new sort of an alligator pear, or bread fruit, or casaba or something high toned and expensive. So, why the $47.25 for a spy glass left us satis- fied with our bargain, and with life, the 45 cents we spent for walnuts filled us with forebodings as to the future of our native land, and reminded us once more that things are not at all what they were thirty years ago. f The human mind certainly is a queer thing. If for no other reason, members of the Union an agreement to pay the 60 per cent advance of wages, the advance to go, not to the miners, but into the strike fund of the United Mine Workers of America. But Governor Frazier found himself in a dilemma created by his previous activities and the decision of the mining officials to obey the court mandate and recall the strike order. He had operation of the mines by the state, therefore he found it expedient to brazen it out and proceed | ~ with the program, with the saving clause that he would revoke the order “if another satisfactory solution were reached.” If the situation were such that operation of the mines became imperative in the public, not the special class, interest, then Governor Frazier was prepared, no doubt, to disclaim all other motive and purpose. But a new status was created by the obedience to law of the mining officials and the North Dakota governor found himself in a quandry and planned a course with a possible exit. It is more than likely that the exit will be utilized and his amazing order cancelled. 3 The Nonpartisan league management might have descried in the situation an opportunity to of Russian Workmen should be deported because, play politics to the labor gallery.

Captain Codke has been. a conductor on the Great Northern Railroad for fifteen years and {s one of the most popular men in the service of the company. 3 “For years,” continued Captain Cooks “I suffered from. ach trouble and had scarcely any appetite, and, what little I ate disagreed with mie so that I would ‘become terribly nauseated. Gas would form on my stomach and ef- fect my heart so: I -could hardly breathe. I had terrible headaches three weeks at a time and nearly drive me wild, and I‘would become so dizzy at times that I would have to grab hold of something to keep from falling. My nerves got in such bad shape I could sleep very little, and I would get up in the morning feeling dull and heavy and all run dowh. “Nothing I tried seemed to do me any good, and I kept getting worse all the time. A few weeks ago some one suggested that I try taking Tanlac and I got a bottle and began taking it after taking two bottles I felt a great deal , better, I have a fine appetite now, and what I eat agrees with me perfectly. Gas has quit forming in my stomach and I am not troubled with shortness of breath. I never have any more headaches or dizzy spells and can sleep fine, and get up in the morning feeling full of life and energy. I never felt better in my life, and: feel at least ten years young- er.

His wound had been well dressed by a German strgeon, who later became one of his prisoners.” Sergeant Korgis has not yet been recognized by the American army for his deed, beyond the regular citations for bravery.
