This state has a trifle over 100,000 votes, and the intensive campaign made is out of proportion to the voting power. But that is not the real objective of General’ Wood, who spent two weeks in the state, Lowden, who campaigned for one week, Johnson, who was on the hustings for a like period, and finally ‘Poin- dexter, who campaigned ‘for nearly a week. If the same time were devoted to the rest of the country it would take three years to complete the campaign. Of course our sister state got all this attention because the primary comes at a time when candidates hope;to impress the rest of the country with the importance of their boom. The results are in a great degree at least a test. Editor -|for another decade. They reflect the’ attitude of American’ farmers. and city folk who have had:a better opportunity than any others to see the candidates and hear the issues discussed. yi But then again the national convention ‘may not be impressed by the results at all. Political manipulation at Chicago or San Francisco can easily veto the popular vote ‘so widely dispersed among a field of aspirants. It is a straw in the-wind, however. South Da- kota may afford the laboratory test that will de- cide the Chicago nomination—but it is a long time to that date, and no one need get unduly ‘excited. At present prices the man who is driven to drink. is driven to bankruptcy soon thereafter. ""K DELUSION The tremendous values of exports and imports reported by the department of commerce for the year 1919 have led to the assumption that Amer- ica was exporting and importing.more commodi- ties than ever before. The fact is, however, that America is under a delusion. It is true that the total value of exports in 1919 was almost ‘eight billion, as compared with a value of only five and one-half million in 1916. But in 1916 the United States exported more goods than in 1919. The total commodities exported in 1916 amounted ‘to 53,000,000 net tons, while the total in 1919 was 51,000,000 tons. ‘Imports show the same. The total.value . of imports in 1919 was almost four millions, and the total tonnage was 46 millions; whereas in 1916, although the total value of_.imports was only 2,000,000, the total tonnage was 51,000,000. This results from counting in 50-cent ‘dollars. It takes twice as many dollars to move the same amount of tonnage. Our exports and ‘imports “have actually fallen off in volume as ‘compared with 1916. America is rich in money but not so rich in commodities. That’s one teason why prices are so high. ss B , ——__— The next time England and France decide what to do for Italy, they will “see America first.” THE FEDERAL CENSUS ° Bismarck is not the only city which lias been handed a rude jolt by the-federal census depart- ment. If misery truly loves company, Bismarck has an abundance of it, and it need not a0. beyond North Dakota for it. ‘ “To insinuate that. Bismarck, with its marvelous growth of the last decade, has gained less than 2,000 people is to insult’ the intelligence’ of everyon€ who is in the least familiar with the facts. ‘ Gauged by school enrollment, by registration for select service, by bank deposits, postal receipts or any other of the score or more straws which show how the winds blow with respect to popula- tion, Bismarck today has nearer 10,000 people than 7,000. And the census department, after} spending thousands of dollars in an atterhpted enumeration, asks us to believe that we have less than 7,000. Since 1910, when the last previous decennial census was made, Bismarck has built at least 500 homes and apartments, and everyone of these is filled to overflowing ; dwellings intended to ac- commodate but one family house two or three and even four. Since 1910, three new hotels, which have a large family population, have been opened. Today there is not in the whole city a single room of any description which can be converted into a human habitation which is not occupied. naaxohbe. increas in every local line of business, in BISMARCK DAILY TRIBJUNE WED., MARCH 24, 1920 number of telephone and newspaper subscribers, in church attendance, in consumption of ‘water, milk, electricity, gas and other commodities which usually enter intovery home all are proof of a tremendous growth in population. And yet, Uncle Sam, as typified by the present administration in Washington,, would have ys believe that an in- crease of only 1,500 people, or a gain of 27 percent over the population of 1910, has been responsible for all of this development. Without losing our temper, we must, every one. of us who believes in our town and who insists upon a square deal for the city which means 80 much to us, unite in a demand on Washington for a recount, a recheck, or some other adequate repa- ration. Because,:by the figures which came out of Washington this week, unless a correction is made, the progress of Bismarck must be judged It is not only a question of pride, but one of dollars and cents, if one cares to place’it on that sordid basis, for whenever Bis- marck endeavors -to induce a new distributing agency or a new industry to locate in the city, these statistics will bob up to give the lie to our claims that Bismarck is a live and growing com- munity. . : The Commercial club and Mayor Lucas have already wired protests to Congressman Young and our senators at ‘Washington. Every citizen who believes in his ‘town should lend his moral support to this demand for simple justice. - this is true not in Bismarck alone, but in Valley City, which already knows its fate, and in other towns, which can ‘expect little better from an enumeration conducted:as was North Dakota’s re- cent superfitial and ill-timed counting of noses. SPARE THE BIRD Bird@ are the greatest little food-savers in* the world. They save billions of pounds of food for humans to eat. | They do this by preying upon( food- destroying insects, in fields and gardens. The Kansas State Horticultural society has just published some interesting bird facts. In that one state alone 256,000,000 birds every year eat enough insects to fill 480 trains of 50 box cars each—24,000 cars of a minimum weight of 24,000 pounds to the car. Kansas birds each year eat 576 million pounds of insects: Each bird will average 100 insects a day. A flock of birds i in'your garden will keep plants clean of insects. ‘Cats and dogs, and little boys, sometimes, shoo birds away. They shouldn't. _And big men: kill “Buch insects-destroyers as quail. Killing off. the quail is costing the wheat year. Quails are foés of the chinch bug. Quails, are foes of potato bugs. Don’t kill a bird, advises the Kansas society. “If thesdestruction of birds goes on, in a compar- atively few years insect life will, have multiplied to such an extent that trees will be deprived of their foliage, plants will cease to thrive, and agri- cultural crops cannot; be raised. * e "HONESTY IN TURKEY The worldwide storm of opposition to the de-| cision of the supreme council to allow the Turks to stay in Europe surprised the statesmen of the allied: countries., Since then they have been seek- ing a way out. ‘England i is mpre concerned about the possible effects of throwing the Turk out of Constantinople than other nations, since England has under her sway millions of Mohammedans who, it is said, will be disturbed if the sultan, head of the Mohammedan faith, is thrown out of the “Holy City.” Landing of the allied: forges ‘at Constantinople indicates’ at least that the voice of the peoples has been heard. What final solution ‘will be at- tempted is not yet clear’ A solution has been suggested which is sensible and practical. “It is pointed out that Stamboul— the old walled city within’ Constantinople—con- _|tains all the public-and religious» monuments sacred to the Mohammedan world. The proposal has been made to “Vaticanize” the old city of Stamboul and assign it. as the official residence of the sultan. .This would leave the rest.of the city of Con- stantinople, both’ shores of the Bosphorts, the Dardanelles and Gallipoli peninsula to be interrla- tionalized under the League of Nations. It is a reasonable solution, The good faith of the states- men of the allied countries can be judged by whether or not they accept it. Constantinople musi not be left to the Turk if the peace of the world is to be in any way safe- guarded. Hoover fed us war bread, but there is a general willingness to try a Herb diet again. At any rate the allies had the fun of discussing what they would like to do with Turkey. Lane says Washington is rich in brains. ° Sure- ly the man is speaking of the Permanent resi- dents.
