Poland insists that the western Russian frontier shall revert tq that of 1772. This in spite of the decision of the Paris coun- cil and the repeated warnings of the supreme council of Poland that she must withdraw her troops to the boundary laid down in the peace treaty. ws, Poland is pleading for material and moral sup- port because she is the “barrier against Bolshev- ism.” The fact that the territory claimed is not ethnically Polish seems to make no Wifference to Poland. Her claim that Poland’s sovereignty once extended as far as the 1772 boundary is suffi- cient, in Polish mirids, to justify the present claim. 4 } , The situation is exactly as if the United States government so radically as to bring down upon, it should have a revolution and change its form of the hostility and denunciation of England, France, Italy and other European powers, as well as the South American states and Mexico. Then, if Mexico, supported by some of the European gov- ernments with money and arms, should send an army into the United'States and establish a line taking in-Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Utah and Nevada, claiming the “Frontier ‘of 1848,” we should be faced, with a situation analo- -Russian situation. EUROPE’S DEBTS _ European unrest shows no indication of being part of a plan for a general repudiation of war sit debts... Eventually, there will have to be ‘some By A form of partial repudiation, but. it.will-be post- poned as jong as possible. When repudiation comes, it will probably be in the form of heavy taxation upon war bonds. It will thus try to es- cape the ugly. reproach of national bankruptcy. This method could be applied, of, course, only to domestic loans. Europe's foreign loans “have been issued with the understanding that they shall be free from all domestic taxation. To levy a tax on them would be an act of bad faith, which would have the same-ill effect as repudiation: Only if the creditor nations consent to this form of bankruptcy ‘is it likely to occur. oes Oke The most secure’ of all Europe’s foreign debts are'those owed to America. The Europeans must have American goods. They ¢annot now afford to confess an inability to pay for what they have already consumed. Otherwise future supplies will _-very largely be cut off. America can curtail her exports to Europe without great inconvenience. It is different with the money which Europe owes Great Britain: British prosperity is more closely bound up with international trade than is America’s. If the European continent repudiates its war debts to Great Britain, the latter. would suffer great injury by cutting off its trade with the offending nations. Therefore, it is likely that the British government may agree to some kind of informal cancellation if the time ever comes when, full payment of foreign obligations cannot be made by the continent. aves ‘ That time, however, has not arrived. It may never come if a large part of the German war in- demnity Zan be collected. Should the continentals be forced to confess a partial {solvency the American people may voluntarily cancel some of the European debts to this country. If not; the ten billion dollars will rank as a first preferred claim. It will probably be paid to, the last cent, because Europe must continue to have our food and raw materials. Newberry can console himself: with the reflec- tion that few men have spent as much for:a‘cell. Money still talks, ‘but after this it will whisper in Michigan. ' ey Surely the world is near Utopia when it adopts the practiee of modifying ultimatums to suit the recipients. ‘ Perhaps everlasting peace will come when all of the earth is held by.nations strong enough to de. fend their share, The report that Poland is to have a senate like ours is obviously. an effort to injure Poland in the eyes of Americans; nee : p Houston favors simplification of the income tax.

H AFTER ARTHUR'S SCALP | The N. P. league ticket has had its county con- vention and picked its ticket in this county. The antis will meet on April 17thsand pick their candi- dates. : Then the decks will be cleared for action, and the fight will be on until June 30th, when the in- dividual voter will decide the matter. The league lost out in Emmons county last year by majorities ranging from 116 to 308. Ev- ery indication now seems to point to better than a 300 anti-league majority up and down the line. Langer will no doubt run even stronger than that. —Emmons County Record. _ ‘ CITING HISTORY : : “The strongest evidence that the demand for General Wood comes spontaneously from ‘the peo- ple is the fact that he now has thé\argest number of pledged delegates ever instructed for an’as- pirant so far in advance $f the convention.’“Thus Mr. Thomas W. Miller'of the Wood headquarters. It is to be hoped that he is better informed upon other matters than he appears to be upon this one. To cite but a single instance in disproof of his statement, McKinley had twice as many dele- ' gates pledged by the end of March, 1896, as Wood has. But waive the mere question of fact. Wood admittedly has more delegates pledged’ to him than any of his opponents. Need they despair on this account? Let history. answer. Wood’s man- agers have ‘never claimed a majority for him on the first ballot. Only twice since the birth of the republican party has a candidate who led on the first ballot, without controlling a clear majority, been nominated for president. These two excep- tions were Blaine in 1884 and Hughes in 1916. They were beaten in November.—New York Post. fi AT PARTING So Jim is leaying us. We are going to miss Jim. ipa When he steps out of the Bank of North Da- kota, taking his sisal trust with him, he is going to leave at least one to mourn his departure. Jim, with ‘his “Shoot-it-to-the-other-league- banks” policy of conducting financial affairs, and with, his sisal trust run as an adjunct of the state Bank of North Dakota, was.a bright: and shining mark. Jim could be counted on to “put his foot in it” so beautifully and so frequently that ‘we have'come to have almost.an affectionate regard for him and his free-and-easy bank examination methods. RETA icp gate wee et vue Of course Jim had as much license to be run: ning the Bank of North Dakota as a Hottentot would haye. The administration: carried him, as long as it could afford to carry him, and fit has now gracefully. dropped-him. following hig-inabil- ity to agree with Mr.-Cathro, the state-fed hnd state-bedded assistant director. ‘ One by one the leaves fall. Thomas Allan' Box, Jack Hastings, Hagen, Stangeland, and now Jim Waters. It is sad to part with old friends this way, but the. consoling thought is with us that we still have the more or less reverend George left to us. Life cannot lose all of its zip while he remains.—Fargo. Forum. oa f je Na RACEHORSE JIM QUITS J. R, Waters has resigned as manager of. the Bank of North Dakota. ‘ He says that he feels that his work’ is done and that he should) not be called -upon to sacrifice his business interests fur- ther. ' The letter is written from Miami, Florida, which is the headquarters of Mr. Waters’ sisal trust. 2 Jim doesn’t explain whether or not he is going into the racehorse business again, so it may be that the business he is returning to is this same sisal trust, although there seems no particular reason for thinking that it has been suffering: from neglect during the time that Jim has been drawing a fat salary from the state. In fact the list.of loans of the Scandinavian-American bank of Fargo, made public at the time that institution ‘was closed up by the attorney general, would leave an unprejudiced observer with the ,impression that Jim had been attending to his own business interest in. pretty effective fashion. - } Be that,as it may, Jim says that he should not [be called on to further sacrifice his personal af- fairs by continuing longer in the service of the state, and on that point a great many citizens of North Dakota are in full accord with him. In fact ever since the aforementioned Scandinavian- American bank deal was aired, it has been pretty apparent that he should never have: been’ called on, to make such a sacrifice, although there may be two opinions as to whether the sacrifice was on his part or on that of the state. & Incidentally we wonder if this is a case of the rodent deserting the. sinking ship, or a variation of the old Biblical story of Jonah being thrown overboard to lighten the vessel in the storm?

The question was whether the dollar was to be almighty in politi- cal campaigns in Michigan. ‘Secondly, the aggressive support given Senator Johnson’ by the ex-ser- vice men, especially tnembers of the 309th regiment formerly. stationed in Russia. Thirdly, ‘Senator Johnson’s _per- sonal. campaign. Senator Johnson ignored platitudes, refused to discuss the obvious, but’ fearlessly attacked big national problems. ‘The ‘result was that. while Wood and Lowden had supporters; Johnson won devoted fol- wers, enthusiastic ‘because of his ersonality, and with complete con- ; fidence in the capacity ‘and courage AT LAST—A POSITIVE | RELIEF FOR’ RHEUMATISM Money Back If It Fails No medicine on earth ‘will relieve rhea- matism, Iumbago, sciatica and, eczema.
