Here in North Dakota prices have been reduced on lignite and the demand for this fuel should be heavy as the fall months approach. coal is Interesting Edition Editor J. C. Bell of the Carson Press is to be congratulated upon his special edition of this week aevoted to boosting Grant county. The number is printed on a good grade of paper, type, makeup and news matter are excellent. “North Dakota's Answer to Misrepresentations” is_one of the leading articles from the pen of J. M. Devine, state immigration commissioner. Special articles upon Carson and adjacent territory com- prise the subject matter of the booster number. It should focus attention upon the advantages of Grant county and direct settlement toward that prosperous community. Preparedness The old controversy about national preparedness is on again. We must make ready for war, cries one party; to do so will provoke war, cries another. Well, maybe the truth lies on one side, maybe on the other. Maybe it even lies about half way between. But how about a little preparation for peace? If this nation, or any nation, spent half the money and energy on the problems of peace that are annually cevoted to the problems of war, this might be a much better sort of world. Better? They hangec' a negro at Birmingham, Ala., the other day. Hanged him in front of a huge crowd, with small children in it—a crowd that pressed to within three feet of ‘his swaying body. The negro had killed a child. The brother and sister of the child—both under 10—were taken to the execution by their father. The mother was ill, ‘ut sent her regrets. After the hanging the crowd fought for bits of the rope as souvenirs. The bare recital of those facts is a bitterer con- demnation of certain phases of our civilization than any comment one could! make. And—how much better is Birmingham for that scene?

Editorial Comment Politics and the Railroads (Chicago Tribune) In fact, the railroad problems of reorganization and rate readjustment ought to be approached in the same spirit of fair play as any other public prob. lem. But will they be? For years it has been the habit to expect transportation to take up any slack in the economic situation. If the farmers were not prosperous, the first proposal for relief has always been to cut railroad! rates. The actual cost of serv- ice given, the rise of wages. the rise of material costs, the increase of taxes, were little considered. Business has ‘been almost equally unreasonable. Yet men and women who invest in railrooads have the same right to a fair return as those who invest in land or manufacture or commerce. It is not only unjust to paralyze railroad invest- ment, but it is extremely shortsighted. anc! if the President proposes to undertake a general reor- ganization of our systems of rail transport and a comprehensive readjustment of the whole rate structure, it is hoped he will insist that the gen- eral objective be a broadly constructive national policy which shall encourage investment, exten- sion, improvement, initiative, and therefore prog- ress and prosperity in the greatest and most im- portant public untility of the nation. We trust also he will throw his influence to the restriction, not the extension, of political intervention in railroad affairs.

They had found three, but there were nine more still missing. (Morgantown New Dominion) New York is using advertising as a remedy for crime. There are warning cards displayed in every elevated, subway and surface car in the city, and in all the commuters’ trains, pointing an effective moral to any real or potential criminal who hap pens to be on board. A typical card reads: “You can't win! The cleverest stickup in New York police history is now old and broken, with ten years yet to serve in Sing Sing.” Along with this statement there is an impressiv> iMustration of a holdup man cowering tuge policeman with drawn pistol. Another illustration shows a murderer being led to the electric chair. Moral appeals and appeals to self-interest tell the same old story, verified hy all the ages, that hon. esty is the best pol that decency and square ness pay, in material rewaru’s ag well as an easy conscience. Advertising ought to be as good for “selling” honesty as for selling goods. It will be interesting to watch the New York crime curve after this inno- vation. before @ Convincing (New Orleans [tem) It takes two to make a quarrel. But one who seeks it can usualy finc! it.

They are Christians, and may con- tinue to think themselves the only Christians. But they can not prevent others from thinking otherwise, and if those others are, as they ‘are, the majority of the Christian world, including nearly all of those whom the modern ‘age recognizes as its leaders, they must learn to exercise the toleration which they demand.

They could face with tolerance the division of the world into two halv to be treated differently, if only were recognized that they belong in the European and not the Asiatic half. As a national organization, they are not only eatitled to this distinc- tion, but receive it é There is no discrimination against Japan anywhere, and no disposition to classify it with the other oriental | nations. But it is not Japan that emigrates to America. It is individual Japan- ese. And while Japan has an or- ganization, industrial system and education which China has scarcely begun, Japanese and Chinese indi- vidually show no such differences. A Chinese of certain qualities is exactly as good as a Japanese of the same qualities, and there are plenty of Chinese who have them. America should and does make a distinction the ways it treats Japan and China. America will refuse to make any distinction in the way it treats Japanese and Chinese. If either may come to America, the other must. If either is impossible in mass, on account of the certainly of thereby establishing race castes, so is the other.

ELEPHANT REPEATS ACT AFFTER 14 YEAR INTERVAL Vienna, Aug. 8—-UPI—A decree sued by the late Emperor Francis Joseph 14 years ago, recently was vacated and the act which caused the issuance of the decree immediately was repeated by the one punished by it. The victim of the aged emperor's wrath was “Maidy,” the female ele- hhant, born at Schoenbrunn Zoolog- ical Gardens in Vienna, June 17, pt 1906. When about five years old “Maidy” was being admired one day by a party which included a lady-in-waiting at the royal Court. Filling her trunk from the great concrete tank w! had been provided for her, “Mai blew the water straight into the face of the lady-in-waiting. When the Emperor heard of the misbehavior he ordered the elephant’s trunk cov- ered and condemned “Maidy” to go without a bath for the remainder of her life. It happened that the nineteenth anniversary of the elephant’s birth last month was a warm day and those now in charge of affairs in Austria, figuring that no danger could come from vacating the late emperor's decree, restored “Maid bathing tank. The big beast plainly showed her delight with her first plunge*in 14 years. That plunge apparently recalled her last previous one and “Maidy,” perhaps thinking it part of the pro- gram as before, immediately filled her trunk with water and then emp- tied it into the faces of the park in- spector and half a dozen of his friends who had assembled to watch her get reacquainted with the tank. This time, however, the offense was overlooked. CALIFORNIA DREAM CASTLE OF BARONESS IS DESERTED Pasadena, Cal., Aug. 8.—()—-Ex- cept for the halting footsteps of an aged caretaker, Castle Rosamond, the dream of Baroness Rosa von Zim- merman, stands silent and deserted in the quiet of the hills near here. The baroness and her husband came to America nearly 14 years ago. A dream which she had been harbor- ing for a long time became a reality in 1917 with the completion of Castle Rosamond, which with its 40 rooms and huge baronial hall is said to have cost $1,000,000. Baroness von Zimmerman died April 26, 1917, and shortly after the United States en- tered the World War, the property was seized by and still is in the hands of the alien property custo- dian. ' roness von Zimmerman was born match 12, 1860, in Gnadenfeis, Ger- many, the daughter of a wealthy brewer. She married Baron von Zimmerman, manufacturer of muni- tions, when a young woman. Later her father died leaving her a vast estate and an annual income from Russian railroad securities which be- came worthless when the czarist gov- ernment of Russia was overthrown. { LITTLE JOE | | ALL DEPEN’ THE “THINGS” A OR NOT it’s N THINGS COMING Your way~.
