Asiatics, has now similar problem of
, its own with some additional complica-
tions.
Race prejudice is pretty difficult
proposition Theoretically all. men are
born free and equal,practically the white
is superior to either the black, red or
yellow. All men may possibly at some
time be equal before the law, but social
ly the color makes and will make great
difference. Nature itself makes the dis
tinction. Notwithstanding this demar-
kation by color has been in the world
since prehistoric times, and notwith-
standing these races have been in close
juxtaposition and to some extent have
intermarried, there is not today any large
number of mixed bloods in existance
| There is no evidence of possible or pro-
bable amalgamation in the future. The
halfbreed in animal nature is not pro-
life.
1t IL probuble that this race prejudice
is all wrong, and ought not to be; but
the fact remains that it is and will be, in
spite of theory. While the workmen on
the Pacific coast are mobbing the Chi
nese, the Japs and the Hindoo, as they
think and say on account of their being
willing to work for lower wages, yet the
real reason is far deeper than that. 1t
lies in the Unborn and irrepressible con-
flict of bloods. 1t is our own negro pro-
blem over again in a little different form
and based on the same prejudices.
In the Vancouver incidents England
is brought to face much the same pro-
blem we have in the south. Among the
Asiatics that are coming over are many
Hindos. These people though black
are British subjects. While the immi
grafton of foreign subjects may be some
what controlled and repressed by ire
ties with the governments of such ma
tions, the Hindoe COLES can come and
go where they choose in the British en-
pire, and have the same rights and priv.
ileges before the law as any other sub.
ject.
Perhaps England will be able to solve
this labor and race problem that we
have been struggling with since the civil
war. We hope so, for thus far we havo
not made much progress.

PARTY DISRUPTION

Some editorial comment was elected
by the remarks made by this paper
three weeks ago on the subject of the
Republican party getting together. or
lying down altogether. Most of the
editors agree that the case is pretty
much as we put it, but add other COM
ments. The Wahpeton Globe thinks
that the primary election by the people
will have considerable effect in healing
the wounds and that the results will be
accepted after the choice is thus made.
The Lidgerwood Brt adaxe rather seems
to like the present prospects of the
breaking up of the Republican party as
it thinks the man and not the party
is the main thing. But over in Minneso-
ia the Republican party has remained
divided and Democratic governor has
been twice elected-and while primary
law was not used in the selection of the
gubernatoral candidates, yet. the choice
was Just as much popular one as if
| oolc Ill ludl uldnHeT. lQe CrOuDle WlCQ
this disintegration of party is that it is
all one sided.
The Republicans split and the Demo
Gratis stay together. That's what ails
the theory of the Broadaxe. 1t is still
party man that is elected, hence it
is still the party more than the man.
Editor Taylor of the LaMoure Chro-
nicle shows very conciliatory spirit. He
is perfectly willing to sacrifice Hans
brough and have j. B. Sharp of his own
county selected as the Republican can
didate for governor. Sharp is good
and capable man all right, but 1t looks
like Walt had Tipped copper with
heads..on both sides of the coin. Instead
of saying that he would be willing to
abide by the choice of the party he
puts up ticket-and that is what has
been the matter all along. Some fellows
| have been more anxious for their own
purposes than for the party, forgetting
that without the party their purposes
are vain.

Congressman A. j. Gronna of Lakota
is receiving good deal of favorable
mention for United States senator to
succeed Senator Hansbrough. Those
infavor of Mr.. Gronna call attention to
the fact that he has made an excellent
record in congress and has many friends
among both the insurgents and stalwart
wings of the party. In addition to this
Mr.. Gronna's friends say that he would
draw many votes from the Scandinavian
element of the party. It certainly looks
ss if the race for senator was going to be
an interesting one. Minot Optic.

BETWEEN TWO HORNS

The Grand Forks Herald has been
kept pretty busy during the last week
trying to explain itself out of the posi-
tion, that because Senator Hansbrough
tried to prevent the grinding of Canad-
ian wheat by the Minneapolis mills that
he was wrong, and yet keep itself out OF
the other horn of the dilemma that such
grinding of wheat is not direct injury
to the North Dakota farmer.
The simple facts are, that while it is
true that the mills were already per-
mitted by law to grind Canadian wheat
in bond, provided the product was un-
mixed with American wheat, yet they
were dissatisfied and got secretary Shaw
to open the door still wider and allow
them to mix the Canadion grain with
American wheat. And this was what
senator Hansbrough opposed. Eve ry
one who is acquainted with wheat
grinding knows that very little -four is
made without mixing different grades
OF wneaC. Inc reason Is very apparen t
even to those who know but little abou
grinding. There is but littleltproft in
making flour out of No. hard. whea t,
such as the millers buy from the Canad-
ian. northwest and from North Dakota
unless mixed with the cheaper and
softer varieties.
Senator Hansbrough probably believes
that from the standpoint of his constiu-
ents that anything that stops the i'm
portation of Canadian wheat is
for their denefit, because it limits the
supply. We believe the same, and we
think the farmers will have the same
opinion.
AS Gen. Hancock said when he was
nominated for the presidency, "the tariff
question is mostly local." The argument
of the Herald is local-to Minneapolis.

ABOUT ICELAND.

Because in this county we have SO
large proportion of Icelandic citizens
little of the history and the present
status of Iceland ought to be of interest
to our readers in general. Besides this
there is something almost akin to revo
luton going on there at present, that is
of much interest, and to get at the mer.
its of the latter it is necessary to give a
brief sketch of the history of that for
merly isolated island, but which must
necessarily be very brief in an editorial.
The original Mortimer lived on the
Scandinavian peninsula, surrounding
islands and coasts. They were divided
into tribes and communities, each under
separate chiefs. These chiefs, in combi-
nation with each other, made war with
common enemies, or went on piratical
expeditions against neighboring nations,
and betweenwhiles, when at home
fought oneother. Harold, the Fairhair-
ed, was one of these. and who by force,
conquered enough of his brethren to
form the nucleus of the Scandinavian
nation of Norway, under his kingship.
Some of the chiefs and retainers who
we're defeated left Norway and settled
on surrounding islands, part going even
to Ireland and remaining there for some
years Later large number of these
went to Iceland, arriving there in the
year 874. These remained under the
government of their respective chiefs
"god-men, FOR they were also the priests
as we'll as chiefs of their followers. In
$50 there was central government
formed. A principal ruler, 'The Law
Man" was selected by the chiefs, and a
sort of legislature OF the chiefs called
the "Althing" was formed. This form
of government lasted until 1862, and
during this time of more than four cen.
turies, Iceland was separate nation.
About this time, owing to internecne
strife among the leaders, some of the de-
feated ones went to Norway and invoked
the aid of the then king of Norway,
which aid he rendered, but with the final
result that the Icelanders acknowledged
him as king and gave him tribute, but
in other things remained practically in
dependent.
In 1897 Norway and Denmark became
united through the intermarriage Of
princes and other circumstances,.and
this carried with it the allegiance Of the
Icelanders.
But in 1914 Norway and Denmark be

A NOTABLE ISSUE OF
-----ANOTABLE PAPER

The issue of the Commercial Bulletin
published at Minneapolis for August 1st
was remarkably fine edition, being
profusely illustrated and full of interest
ing matter to the business people of the
northwest. A notable feature of this
issue was a large number of letters
written by local merchants from all parts
of the northwest, taking the trend of
business for the season, as their leading
topic. In most cases these letters were
embellished with portraits of the
authors and often with cuts illustrating
the inside or outside of the stores. From
Pembina one of these articles was fur
nished by Mr.. Chas Full and was ac-
|companied by his portrait and a fine
half tone of the interior of his store.
Mr.. Full's letter was as follows:-
"There has been considerable talk to
the effect that some people think that
this fall will not see the same prosperity
that we have had during the past few
years, but l cannot see that it will ap-
ply to northern Minnesota and North
Dakota.
Certainly trade has been very much
affected, owing to the lateness of the
season, and many farmers and others
have not made such large purchases as
they would had they been able to put in
the seed as in former years, but the
crops never looked better or more prom
ising than now, and believe that the
fall trade will be just as good as in form
er years.
think that the merchants have been
doing too much credit business and quite
a number are going to do less credit
business and reduce their stocks, and in
this way will be able to discount bills.
Show windows should be used as much
as possible. l believe that great many
sales are made by having the window
kept clean and nicely dressed from week
TO week with attractive goods, Be care
full to have good awning to keep goods
from fading.
Some people say that advertising does
not pay. / think this is mistaken idea
as good ad in the local paper, changed
each week, certainly pays, and many
persons wait anxiously to see the ad as
it comes out in the paper from week to
week..
I think it pays to 60 to market for
certain lines Of goods, especially dress
goods, as the samples carried by the
travelling men are handled so much, and
often sample rooms are not large enough
to do justice to this line. Seeing the
goods in the piece gives better idea Of
the quality as well as the pattern.
In the fall and winter we have our
store lighted by acetylene gas, supplied

by company. This light we think is
best, as it gives soft and clear light,
much better than the oil lamps and even
better than the electric light.
Many merchants use premiums to
draw trade. think the public at large
is growing tired of premiums, as they
think they have to pay for all they re.
ceive in this line, and think the fewer
premiums given the better"
