Logan Payne Co. | CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON i EE heat Ea Ghosts of 1896 Not the least important among the reasons advanced} by economists for the current stagnation of business 1s the disparity in the relationship between the price of gold and silver. { It takes no student of finance to recall that immedi-| ately following the Civil War there were in circulation what were known as “shinplasters” or paper moncy rep-; resenting amounts of less than a dollar. Many a trunk} right here in Bismarck contains mememtoes of this} phase of the nation’s financial past. Then the currency was stabilized and specie payments were resumed, specie generally being regarded as either; gold or silver, although gold was the standard. In 1896, when business was suffering, there came out of the West a young man who delivered at a national political convention an oration on the money question. The man was William Jennings Bryan and the address was his famous “Cross of Gold” speech, delivered saa Chicago. He pleaded for a ratio of 16 to 1, which meant that the price of silver should be stabilized on a basis| that an ounce of silver was worth one-sixteenth as much) as an ounce of gold. It was a financial as well as a political question andj men who had been Democrats turned Republican while| Republicans went Democratic. It was a corner if not a/ turning point in the nation’s history and the gold stand- ard has not been attacked seriously stnce that time. Now, however, many men of intelligence are raising the question of whether business might not be helped if some sort of definite ratio were established between | the two metals, although the one is now only slightly | precious. | The reason for this suggestion lies, not in American conditions but in conditions elsewhere. A good many 50 and more productiveness of property. The life insur- | | uninsured, is the real and greatest beneficiary, for it is reau, who is vice chairman of the American committee, recommends the recontsruction of the present leap-year | rule to keep the calendar more closely in accord with | solar conditions, and other corrections to make the cal- endar conform exactly with the last year of the life of Christ. | As far as religious sentiment in this country is con-| cerned, the calendar reformers state “a great majority of the religious population sees no reason for disapproval on the grounds of dogma, doctrine or canon law.” Vgorthwhile Effort The fire and life insurance businesses of the nation are performing a real service for it by their teachings in an effort to reduce the fire hazard and the mortality of the nation. The fire insurance companies scek fewer fire losses | ance folk seek better health and longer lives for Amer- | ican citizens. Both efforts are of such a nature as to promote the general happiness and well-being. Many great life insurance companies maintain large research departments, whose duty it is to use the sta- tistics gathered from generations of experience, with | thousands of individual policyholders, in preparing fac- tual briefs on the hazards that menace life. A constant, never-ending work is carried on in educating the public against various dangerous diseases, both from the stand-| point of prevention and of treatment. This work may be compared to that of stock fire insurance in combat- ting fire waste and to the casualty insurance companies in their accident prevention campaigns. | While insurance companies protit from death, fire | and accident prevention, the public at large, insured and | the one that pays and suffers for carelessness, neglect | and waste. i Hard to Imagine It is difficult, even for those who were involved, to imagine the tremendous power exerted by the cyclonic wind which swept a Great Northern train from its track in Western Minnesota Wednesday night. Ordinarily, a railroad locomotive impresses us as the | last word in power and massiveness. It is one of the largest single pieces of machinery in the world and 1 is hard to think of so intangible a thing as wind involv- | ing it in a wreck. Yet, when we think of it, cyclones and tornadoes have) levelled whole cities, tearing down buildings fully as! strong and much heavier than a locomotive. When; nature looses her forces in terrible fury, man-made ob- jects might almost as well he made of straw. i If the human race is tempied to think that it has| lesson presented by a wind lifting a locomotive from its track and dumping it into the ditch. As Democratic politicians see it, the Republicans, the | tariff, Wall Street, the bad utilities, prohibition, etc.,| caused a slowing up in business. A case of too many issues spoil the attack. The most devastating criticism that has been heard in; some time anent the liquor situation is this: “Honestly,) the liquor is getting so bad that I wouldn't drink any | of it even if it were almost impossible to get it.” silver dollars are in circulation in North Dakota, but! only the credit of the government enables their owners | to buy with them as much as could be bought with a| so-called gold dollar. If it contained a dollar's worth of; silver, each silver dollar would be about the size of | restaurant pancake, for silver is cheap. ! "There are nations, however, where silver is by custom| and tradition a current medium of exchange and these nations are handicapped in their commercial relations| with us by the low price of this metal. So serious is the | situation regarded that an international conference may be called soon to discuss this question and see if a 60-/ lution to the vexing problem may not be obtained. ! How depressed silver prices result in general industrial) depression is illustrated by present conditions in China. China deals with the United States on the basis of the; silver standard. But now that metal is worth about 40| Editorial Comment Editoriale printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

Vannie Higgins, racketeer, stabbed early yesterday, was hurried to Polyclinic hospital and later transferred to another hospital.

As a) result, China can no longer buy from us in the same} quantities as before and so is establishing factories of| her own to produce goods that once came from the) United States. | The silver problem is of vital interest to the entire! world, There are many authorities who believe the) ‘United States would be well repaid if it took the lead in! any sound plan for re-establishing a fair relation be-| tween the value of silver and gold. A temporary fixing of price of silver at 50 cents an} ounce by international agreement, has been proposed by Senator King of Utah as an emergency measure until the conference can solve the silver question. | He believes a bettering of the silver price would im-| prove world trade and have a vast influence in alleviat-j ing unemployment in the United States. —__ 1 Will Reduce Surplus | It is estimated that at present there are some 30,000,-| 000 pounds of quality dairy butter in storage. Prices are the lowest in 25 years. This may seem a tremendous surplus but, as the Dairymen’s League Cooperative As- sociation of New York points out, it could be entirely eliminated if each of the six million American farm families would use one extra pound of butter per week for a period of five weeks. It is brought out, further, that the dairy farmer him- self is not without blame. A survey of cross-roads and village grocery stores disclosed that a large part of butter substitutes sold in this country are purchased and consumed by farm families, in spite of the fact that these substitutes are lacking in the protective vitamin found in genuine quality dairy products. ‘This condition has existed in North Dakota but it will hardly continue after July 1 when the law placing a 10- cent tax on each pound of butter substitute becomes ef- fective. That law will place oleomargarine and other substitutes on a higher price-level than the superior home-made product. Whatever it may be doing now, North Dakota will certainly be doing its share to re- duce that surplus of stored butter after July 1. Calendar Reform Under Way | ‘Those who object to paying rents and other install- ments 13 months a year instead of 12, will have to come to the front with their objections very soon, or it may be too late. The calendar reformers seem to be having their own way, if we are to believe the. optimistic report recently issued by the National Committee on Calendar Simplification, for transmittal to the League of Nations. "This report will be handed over to an international pre- paratory committee meeting at Geneva June 8, and will be further considered by the international committee which meets in October to study the subject in all its * Payorable interest in the proposed calendar change, the report says, is shown by the fact that 140 American firms are now using the 13-month calendar. Included. among these firms afe some of the country’s largest manufacturing, merchandising and publishing concerns, and it is estimated that the gross business done by all ‘of them will total in excess of a billion dollars a year.

Still more racketeers, or perhaps in- nocent victims, will be brought to hospitals with new) wounds to be healed. i Its ‘Kick’ | (New York World-Telegram) When Mayor Porter and his wife, of Los Angeles, re- fusing to countenance a harmless champagne toast pro- posed by the Mayor of Havre to the presidents of France and the United States, stalked out of the room, declar- ing they would not be photographed “in the midst of such lawlessness,” they revealed in this act of boorish} fanaticism a side of American prohibition which we fear} is not its least potent side with some of its adherents. | ‘We mean the opportunities prohibition presents to per- sons who get a “kick” out of being self-assertive, intoler-i ant, tyrannical, contemptuous of others. What the Puritans objected to in bear-baiting, accord- ing to Macaulay, was not so much that it gave pain to the bear as that it gave pleasure to the spectators. What some Americans most enjoy about prohibition law| upon other people. If every one agreed with them about the “noble experiment” it would cease to seem half 80 noble or so interesting. This is not a phase of prohibition that is in any way pleasant to dwell upon. But it can hardly fail to come to mind when the mayor of a well-known American city and his wife choose to make themselves deliberately, gratuitously offensive to French hosts who have done nothing worse than pay us a national compliment in a way still accepted by most civilized peoples. Are the “folks at home” proud of this incident? If so it proves our point. Pierre of the Plains (Minneapolis Journal) Pierre is having a birthday, a golden jubilee to mark the fiftieth anniversary of its founding. That South Da- kota’s capital is half a century old will doubtless sur- prise many a man who still regards himself as young, and who remembers when he pored over a map of Dakota Territory, on which Pierre was a brand new dot, in the Swinton’s.Geography of his school days. But if Pierre says it is really fifty years old, we shall have to take Pierre's word. . x And what a half century of transformation! The Pierre that used to be was just a settlement sprung up beside the fort that guarded the point from which goldseekers and settlers disembarked from Missouri river boats to take the trail westward to the Black Hills.

Now that hadn't ever occurred to me. I remembered people telling me ithat earth in New York was one of the greatest luxuries. They had said that it was cheaper to buy the grown |flowers than to purchase the soil in which they grow. , Soil had always seemed s0 value- Tess in years agone. Out west, I had merely to jab a rake into the stratas of packed and mouldy leaves to ob- tain all the rich fertilizing material I could use. And if I wanted a crock of earth, I had merely to go into the back yard with a spade and there it was. But now I looked wistfully down on my own back-yard. It was paved with concrete. I looked into neigh- boring yards and saw painters and carpenters turning them into outdoor summer tea-rooms. “Well, where can you get earth in this man's town?” I asked sadly. “You can buy it somewhere and pay plenty—but don’t ask me where. So I started out in the big city to buy enough soil for four flower pots. Don't laugh! It isn’t funny! Or is it? I hadn't the slightest idea how you bought earth in New York. Did you get it by the pound or the square foot, or what? I stopped in a flower shop. “Can you spare me a little er .. eh .. a little soil . . you know... earth, dirt?” I began, somewhat sub- duedly. “Now let's see,” replied the shop- keeper, looking about. “I might let you have a small amount. How much did you want?” I didn’t know. I helped him hunt. Finally he reached under a table and | dragged out a sack. It was just about the size of the sack you used to get when you asked for two-bits worth of sugar. As he planked it down on the table, a dusty, smoke-like little Daily Heal By DR.

The living room ought to get plenty of sunlight, but the win- dows need not be so light that the light will be glaring.

Chimneys should also be inspected for fire hazard before purchasing a house already built and standing for some time.

The modern home demands hot water at any time, proper drainage for carrying off household waste, wa- ter sealed traps against sewer gas, laundry tubs that are water tight and many other refinements of plumbing. In its pamphlet on the subject, the Department of Commerce provides a check list so that a person inspecting a house before purchase can carefully indicate the necessary improvements and refinements and thus have some conception as to what the house will require in order to make it safe, healthful and economical.

It was the Omnibus Bill that created the states of North and South Dakota, Montana and Washington. It was the year 1889 that saw the admission, not only of these four states, but preparations for the admission of two others, Wyoming and Idaho. Indeed, 1889 just about marked the completion of the work begun in 1785, with the passage of the Land Act, the work of settling the empire that lay between the and the Pacific ocean. Not only was 1889 the year of the Omnibus Bill; it was also the year of the treaties with the Creeks and Seminoles that opened Oklahoma to the white man. Pierre is having its fiftieth birthday.

CHINESE PREMIER NAMED On May 29, 1917, President Li Yuan-hung, of China, appointed Li Ching-hsi premier to succeed Tuan Chi-jui. The president had dismissed the latter after he had been accused of urging the country to go to war on the side. of the Allies as an excuse for instituting martial law and as- suming control of the government. Tuan was also accused of conniving at Japanese ascendancy over China's war policy. ‘The new premier was a nephew of the great statesman, Li Hunag hang. After Parliament ratified his nomination by a decisive, though conciliatory majority, the northern generals declared that they no longer recognize Li Yuan-hung’s authority. They therefore appointed a provis- ional government with Hsu Shih-kai as dictator. They then issued a proclamation reiterating their demand for China’s immediate entrance into the war, but insisting that that action must be ac- companied by the dismissal of Parlia- ment Awe the reinstatement of Pre- mier in Chi-jui. Stickler Solution eo | e O wonder I was unhappy. That day, in California, when I went to the home of Mavis Merrill to once more propose, I had seen her with this striking young man in her garden. His arm was about her, and I beat it away and came East, certain that Mavis meant it when she refused me, and that this young man was her reason for turning me down. And now I see her with New York night club. All_ of. plans to go to San Guardo In and once more try to persuade her to marry me went to smash on the instant. And I loved her so much that I believe I would have even quit base- ball if she insisted. of she was marie chap.

But after I saw Mavis I felt that I wanted to get away from it all. abet ed Sahat AA air ttn | Explanations | Dolly was a kid. We had long been friends. She made no secret of wanting me to go away with her. I might even marry her, have a winter abroad and go back to baseball, with a mighty effort to make the grade up into the big Teague. But Dolly was suspicious. “Something changed your, mind, Bert—Did you see some one?” “I did—I saw the girl who turned me down,” I confessed. “Turned you down? Turned YOU down? int her out—I want to see the little fool!” “She has gone out—she’s married now.’ ie Oh—and you haven't got over “What difference would it make? Let’s go. I'll see you at the train tomorrow.” So I took Dolly home and went to my hotel. I would go down to Atlantic City anyway and see the opening. I hoped it would make good for Dolly's sake, and then I might do as she begged, take a “run-out” powder and go abroad with her for the winter. ‘Why not? What mattered now?

I wished he'd forget baseball. For I didn’t want to talk shop. I wanted to lead up to questio1 him about his daughter, and couldn blurt the question right out. But I didn't have to angle to lead up to her. “Too bad you didn't see us last night. Mavis took the boat that sailed at 1 in the morning,” he said. “Off to Europe again, eh?
