Yes, whoever you are, you have real reason to be thankful on Thanksgiving Day. If you are a profiteer—be thankful your body hasn’t shrivelled up and blown away, like your soul. If you are a politician, successful Nov. 2 or otherwise—be thankful God doesn’t blast liars as he is reported to have done in Old Testament days. If you are an instigator of class hatred—be thankful American workers are sane, level-headed slow to hot resentment. / If you imagine that bayonets ever settled any- | thing—be thankful the deluge is delayed, slightly. If you agree with Browning that “all’s right: with the world”—be thankful, there are, not enough asylums to hold all the morons. And whoever you are—high or ‘low, rich or poor—be thankful that you live in the United States, a country far from perfect, but the best | place in the world to live, after all; your home- land to help make better, till it actually realizes the ideals of liberty and human happiness writ- ten boldly in its fundamental charter. See Santa Ana, Cal., has a 725-pound bride. Bet- cher the groom didn’t keep her weighting at the church. NO TIME FOR REPRISALS If North Dakota ever needed cool heads and the spirit of cooperation, it is now, when the nation is | going through the natural process of business ad- justment. There should be no politics played, for although the condition is aggravated by the rash economic policy practiced by the state, no cure can be had by resorting to demagogic appeals. The so called. grain gamblers, the Minneapolis chamber of commerce trotted out daily to do Mr. Townley’s ghosting, the railroads also assailed and other factors of so called “Big Biz” are not to blame this time. Every economic factor from the farmer to the plunger in Wall street are all in the same boat as the process of. deflation goes on and it behooves everyone not to rock the boat. Business is going through the process in a won- derful fashion and unless the flannel: mouthed politicians who seek only their own insignificant ends and care little for the. general welfare cease their demagogic attacks, the condition will be needlessly aggravated. There has been a steady withdrawal of capi- tal from North Dakota, once looked upon as among the best investment centers of the United States. The regime of abuse and false economics preached from street corners and soap boxes put wings on capital and it sought more secure invest- ments where there was less of government med- dling in the business processes. Those who have occasion to borrow know what a handicap the harum scarum financial policy of the state has been. It has wrecked successfully, but has left nothing to function in the place of _ that which it destroyed in a blind zeal to force utopia. ° North Dakota is now faced with a condition that needs the earnest cooperation of everyone inter- ested primarily in the welfare of the state. Un- fortunately the chief commodities produced in North Dakota have been caught ‘in the sharp de- cline noted over the entire nation. But the agri- cultural centers are not the only ones to suffer. Industrial stocks have been hat very hard and the end probably is not here as far as this class of securities is concerned. Merchants too have had to take a loss under the pressure of deflation. It is childish for the politicians to.cry that the process going on is aimed at the farmers by their “traditional foes.” They may impress some farm- ers so embittered by the doctrine of class hatred that their reason has deserted them. But the level headed farmér who reads and studies business conditions knows that the’situation is general throughout the world and a natural reaction of war conditions. . The people of North Dakota have nothing to fear provided a spirit of cooperation and helpful- ness obtains. There should be no room for the po- litical wrecker and the man who seeks political capital out of the present business situation should be ignored. North Dakota has got to return to the practice of the fundamental laws of business which in the parlance of the street is not more nor less than common horse sense. No political regime can erect a high board fence about this state and pro- duce a delightful arcadia by the fiat of law. This state is part and parcel of the industrial world and it must put its house in order-if it wants to coutinue in business and to enjoy continued pros- BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY, NOV. 24, 1920 | perity. Political meddling never put profits in the | no substitute for,hard work and the earnest prac- | tice of thrift. | North Dakota’s potential wealth is boundless. Farmers, bankers, merchants, everyone who has the welfare of the state at heart must cooperate in the movement under way to place this state up- on a solid financial basis. There must be less government in business and more government and statesmanship at the statehouse if North Dokata is to weather the storm. SF Cooperation not reprisals should be the watch- word. i STILL FAR OFF | ‘That long predicted panic is, according to latest ireports from the usual -source of panics, Wall Street, quite a distance in the future. So far, in- deed, that Wall Street is beginning to think it| never will arrive. : “Until the Federal Reserve notes begin to show a persistent contractign, there will be no real let- ting down in business and consequent unemploy- ment,” asserts the Wall Street Journal. “Nearly every week,” continues the Journal, shows a steady increase in the volume of these notes outstanding. Heavy payrolls and good wages have kept large amounts of currency in use.” This disconcerting failure of the panic to arrive on scheduled time must be very displeasing to those who turned their 50-cent dollars into mort- gages and sat back to await the time when they could collect 100-cent dollars.

H. Hays | To the Republicans of the Country and All | those who aided them: : | The Republican success in the 1920 election has |been commensurate with the quality of our can- | didates and the’ righteousness of our cause. This success is the partnership accomplishment of all Republicans everywhere and of hundreds of thousands of well-wishers of good government re- gardless of past party affiliations. To all of these we now appeal, because it is the mutual responsibility of us all who will share alike in the cnosequent mutual benefit of gpod govern- ment. The plan of limiting contributions to $1,000, adopted by your national organization, has left, your party mortgaged. It has been a most advanced step in placing the business of politics on the highest plane, and has brought an interest on the part of thousands who never before have been concerned with politics. Some weeks-before election it was apparent that the expenses provided for in our budget, with the strictest economy, would exceed the contribu- tions, but we were unwilling either to leave un- done any legitimate effort essential to complete success or to change the method of raising moriey. We were then sure and we are now sure that every Republican desires that the expenses of the cam- paign be distributed in this manner, Your presidential campaign this year cost. no more than that of 1916, when a dollar went nearly twice ag far.as it does today. Four years ago the bulk of the campaign fund came from 750 contributors, while this year the approximately $2,000,000.contributed to date for the presidential election has.cme from 50,000 givers. i “The victory won, the raising of the deficit would be easy, indeed, if your committee were willing to abandon the policy of keeping down the average. of contribution. This we are determined not to do. It was a fight of all the people. The result speaks for itself. It lifted a burden from the minds of millions.and points the way to better and happier days. We ask: yw\for that additional help from all which is merited both by the suc- cessful conclusion of the effort and by ‘the con- sequent contributeion to the welfare of all of our | people and the glory of the nation. Let us now have help from every American who is gnjateful for the victory and all that it mearis to the country. It might well be in'the nature of a Thanksgiving offering for the return to a cer- tainly safe, sane, constitutional progressive gov- ernment. & ‘ Let us by general and generous giving put the seal of approval upon the policy of putting a na- tional administration in -pewer free from any pos- sible embarrassment of special obligation te any man, men or group of men. Let us make the contributicn, whether large or small, and whether or not we have heretofore given, commensurate with our means and ou> approciation, always with- in the maximum limit heretefcre fixed. Let us get our names cn the cornerstone of a sturdier political stricture, upon the roll of those who have helped make possible a campaign of | Which, in methods and result, we may as Repub- | licans and patriots be justly proud. Mest earnestly we urge that this aid be given quickly, that your committee may be enabled, to discharge the party’s obligations and turn to fur- ther constructive work in behalf of party and country.

Westlake, vice president of the Minneapolis baseball club, has announced details of an $8,000,000 bonding plan which he proposed at the recent meeting of the National Asso- ciation of Professional Baseball League in Kansas City, to guard against gambling scandals in base- ball. Believing that anti-gambling legisla- tion will not generally be put on the statute books of the states before the 1921 session opens. Senator Westlake proposed ‘at the Kansas City meeting that each club require its players to furnish a bond aganist participation in agreements to throw games. “This does not reflect on the play- ers’ integrity any more than it retlects {on the integrity of a confidential clerk when he or she provides a secrecy bond, or when a business man prov a bond on taking an important office, said Senator Westlake. How it Would Work “Players in the Class A leagues should be bonded) for $5,000 each,” said Senator Westlake; “those in $3,500 each, and those in C and D for $2,000. e “I propose that the following clause be added paragraph No. 5 of the uni- form baseball contract: ‘Said party of the second part (the player) agrees to company, approved by the party of the first part (the baseball club), for a fidelity bond guaranteeing the integ- rity of the said party of the second Part.’ “The publication of the fact that every player is under a bnod guaran- teeing his integrity will haye not only a tendency to show the public that the owners and promoters of professional baseball are doing everything in their power to keep the sport on a high plane, but, will also deter gamblers from offering bribes. The moral effect jof the knowledge that he is under bond would have a tendency to deter the playre from accepting a bribe.” The premium on such bonds would !amount to only a few dollars for each player and in the case of the A'A clubs would amount to not more than $200 Westlake said. Under his plan, the total. of all ‘bonds. if every player were included, wuold be as follows:. Class AA, $2,- 400,000; Class A and B, together, $4,- 000,000; Class G and D together, $1,- | 920,000. | Senator Westlake was voted a reso- |Ition of thanks for his suggestion by jthe minofs in their convention.

MANY DIF OF ° OLD AGE WHO ARENQT FORTY Minneapolis, Nov. 24.—Because the average person has not learned the simple rules of living, forty thousand persons under 40 years of age die each year in the United States of old-age diseases, according to‘officials of the American Red Cross, In addition, 650,000 persons die each year in this country from preventable diseases, the officials state. Miss Mabel Ulrich, director of health se of the northern division ot the Red Cross, with headquarters \here, depreciated the practice of mod- ern people who hail the physician ith the elaborate and expensive of- ice as a “wizard,” and who do not helieve a doctor whens he prescribes nothing but good, wholesome food, plenty of water, fresh air, recreation and rest.

NO FEAR NOW OF INDIGESTION A Host of People Seem to Thrive on What Used to Provoke Indiges- tion Before They Learned of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets When the stomach becomes Sour, with gassiness and heartburn due to indigestion or dyspepsia relief may ibe had by one or two Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablets. Simply chew them, no hot water nor any other fillers for a stomach perhaps already too much overcrowded. These tablets supply to the stom- ach the e: B tion. They also eontain pancreatin to help digest the starchy foods such as potatoes, jrice, oatmeal, white flour, etc. é Get a 60 cent box of Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablets, have them on hand at all times and thus have no fear of indigeStion or dyspepsia. The fact that these tablets are on sale everywhere in the U. S. ani Canada shows how generally recog- nized they are as an efficient aid when the dyspeptic stomach needs a little help.
