Mandan Pioneer: C. F. Massing-
ham, president of the Morton County
Fair association, returned last Friday
from Fargo and brought with him a
check for $4,000 the balance of the
IS, 000s which the association was to
receive. This money will be used to
pay all. the outstanding Indebtedness
and will also leave a balance on
which to work should the people de-
eide to hold another fair. For the
past few years the fairs have paid
their own expenses but not enough
above expenses to liquidate the debts
contracted from years when the
weather was not favorable. With
weather conditions good Morton coun.
ty can now hold a fair and pay all
premiums and purses in cash which
will be a decided advantage to those
who undertake the management, as
heretofore it has been very discour-
aging in working up enthusiasm to be
continually confronted with demands
for money due from previous years.

TOLD BY FRANK FOSTER
Why Society as a Whole is Better
Off Because of Advent Of
Trade Unionism.
It Has Exercised a Mighty 1nflu'
ence Breaking Down Race and
Trade Prejudices.
BY Frank X. Foster.

Your suggested topic raises the en-
tire issue Of the social utility of organ
lied labor. mere enumeration Of the
contributions to the general
good made by the efforts of organized
labor would occupy far more than the
space at my disposal. Let us state the
situation as concisely as it may be:
Many millions of workers all over
the civilized world are associated, main
ly upon craft lines, for the protection
of their interests and the advancement
of their standards of living. Their
methods Of action differ somewhat in
detail, but their underlying purposes
are practically the same. Judgment
of the foremost thinkers Of our time,
of wise statesmen and Of an enlighten-
ed press, accords to these men honesty
and sincerity. The value of associated
effort for legitimate ends is nowhere
denied If organized workmen have
sincerity Of purpose and legitimate
ideals, the assumption is inevitable
that society as a whole will profit by
their associative effort.
Some 20 years ago I formulated a.
statement entitled "Thirty-nine areu-
ments in favor Of trades unionism."
I now venture to supplement It with
'"Thirty-nine reasons as to why society
as whole is better off by reason OF
the existence and activities of organ
lied labor"
1 l. Trades unionism has exercised a
mighty influence in breaking down race
prejudice an the bias of creed, and in
this contributes to O. harmonlzinr citi-
zenship.
2. It has been q great factor in as
sisting to familiarize hundreds OF thou
sands Of immigrant workmen with the
American standards Of thought and
lilo.
;. It has been In a sense the poor
mans university, inspired thought up
on public questions, and has thus sup
plsmented the work of primary educa-
ton.
1. It's benevolent features have saw
ed hundreds of thousands Of workmen
from becoming a charge upon the pub
nc treasury in periods OF Industrial de-
preston.
S. It has taught the sellers of labor
the virtues Of deliberate and well-con-
s.dered action, as opposed to destruc-
tive mob action.

In quite a few districts it will re-
qufre an official count to determine
who Is elected. This official count,
1t is said, will doubtless increase the
number who stand for the restoration
of direct vote system.
OF the 104 above mentioned men,
bers of the next house n are Demo
Gratis and 80 are Republicans. The
Democratic national platform declares
for majority rule. which is equivalent
to declaring for the direct vote system
for public questions. In Jefferson's
day the people Instructed at will by
direct vote. The rise of the conven-
ton altered the system. We are get
ting back to the peoples rule.
1t Is of special note that the above
described membership shows that the
issue is not sectional nor is there a
class conflict. All are against ma
chine rule.
A fact not shown in the foregoing
Is that In most of the districts where
the contest was known to be close
both the leading candidates pledged
for the peoples cause. This was the
case In 81 districts. In So districts
the ones who refused to pledge were
defeated. This factor in the election
is OF far-reaching Importance. Nearly
all the ones who thus were beaten
were Republicans. In 4 of these So
districts it was the Democrat who re-
fused to pledge.
