THE PEACE CONGRESS.

Secretary Tureblood presented some
interesting statistics to the National
Peace Congress, which convened In
Chicago recently.
The Napoleonic campaigns, 1896 to
1916, cost $4,000, 100000; our war
with England in 1872, $500 ,OO0, 900; the
Crimean War $1,666.00o,o0o; the Am
erican Civil War $4,000 100000. and
and the six weeks war between Aus
tria and Prussia, in 1866, $325,oo0,o0o
Mr.. Trueblood estimates the number
of lives lost in the Napoleonic wars at
100000; in our Civil War 100000 to
!! 100000, and the six weeks war 49,
900. Since the beginning of anthem
tic history 15,0OO,OO0,OO0 lives have
been sacrificed to the god Mars This
is about equal to the total number Of
human beings who have inhabited the
earth the past 600 years.
In his letter to the Congress Presi-
dent Taft observes that the possibi-
lities of war. arise chiefly from the
Responsibilities of weak govern
ments which cannot maintain order

THE FlGHTsFoR FREE HIDES

The country has g large interest in:
the report that the leather men and
the shoe manufacturers will go into
the packing business If the packers
induce. Congress to keep the duty on
hides. The duty, which is y D. per
cent, was removed in the Payne bill
as it passed the House. & In the Fin
ance Committees reshaping or the

Senate the duty was replaced. Around

Contrary to the general belief, the

solely. It adds nothing Of any conse-
quence to the price which the cattle
raisers receive from the packers.
Many Of the. sole leather concerns Of
the country are controlled BY the
packers, Of connected with them by
tanning contracts: But the q United

MAKING OATS sELF-sUPPoRTlNG

MAKING OATS sELF-SUPPoRTiNG.
In the June number of the Technical
World appears very interesting ar
ticle on oat raising, past and prospec-
tive.
Statistics are published to show
first what an enormous wealth is con-
tanned In the oats grown In one sea-
son in the United States and yet this
crop Of the value of over 1884, 000, 900
is shown to have been grown at loss
to the producers. The rapid increase
in the demand for this cereal In the
various breakfast food preparations
has, however, enhanced the price Of
oats and the price of so to 60 cents
a bushel now realized may, like dollar
wheat, have come to stay. The author
of the article in question maintains
that for the first time In. the history
of agriculture, growing oats is to be
made profitable, and this in the face
of the fact that the oats crops in the
United States in the past eight years
have been sufficient to pay the interest
and non-interest bearing debt Of the
nation twice over. u *.=:~
The average American partaking Of
his matutinal porridge has never real
lied that the American farmer has
raised the oats which forms the bulk
of the breakfast foods at financial
loss. But such has been the case

osTEoPArHIc NOTES.

Rheumatism is suspended elimina-
tion, mainly certain waste products
are not gotten rid of by the excretory
organs, and these undergo harmful
retrograde changes in the system.
There is no known drug that will neu-
tralize this excess of poison. People
who have tried them all will tell you
so. Osteopathy does cure the majority
of cases and people who have tried it
will tell you so. ..
Massage is not osteopathy. Massage
deals only with the soft tissues; Osteo-
pathy with the nerves. The spinal
nerves are the life of the body, and
pressure upon them must be relieved
where found. This is getting at the
cause. You can take massage and
baths and electrotheropy, and all those
different things all your life, and feel
better of course. but never cured. Os-
| teopathy removes the cause and it's
cures are permanent. DR.. Ella Hull

WHY COMMISSION
Plan FAILED TO
Win OUT IN FARGO

The Bismarck Tribune is an ardent
advocate Of the commission system.
1t was disappointed, nay surprised,
that Fargo didn't adopt the plan. But
The Tribune editor evidently found
some reason for many people refus-
ing to endorse the undertaking meth
DDS adopted by t commission organ.
It hands Editor Andrews the follow
ing bouquet-which contains more OF
truth that Foley's poetry sometimes
has:
Fargo Is the first city in the state,
possibly in the country-Ito reject the
commission system for the adminis-
tration of it's affairs in place OF the
almost universal mayor and common
council system. After a rather excit-
ing campaign and the casting of a
heavy vote the new theory of city
government was rejected by a majori-
ty Of 100 votes.
The controlling argument in the
Fargo campaign, as viewed from the
distance, seemed to be that the gate
way city is not what may properly be
called mismanaged city under it's
present management, and many good
citizens could not be aroused to an
appreciation of the necessity of a
change at this time. Inasmuch as
several other communities in the
state have adopted the system, which
as yet may be classed as experimental,
many Fargo citizens have argued and
evidently acted upon the plea, that
it will be well to wait a few years,
and possibly profit by the experience
of other communities.
The Tribune is of the opinion that
the new system is not ar experiment;
that better results will obtain with
small governing body of five COM
missioners even where the conditions
are far from bad than under the pres
ent ward system and larger govern
ing body elected from ward districts.
But we admit that this is merely
matter of theory-of belief based upon
observations largely local

WENT AFTER PIANO

LOUIS VAIL, PIANO TUNER WITH
THE STONE MUSIC CO, HAS uN-
USUAL EXPERIENCE MINNIE
sofa MAN THOUGHT HE WAS
A MACHINE.

Louis Wahl, the new piano turner
at Stones Music house, resents the inn
putation that ne is piece of ma
chinery.
Recently customer OF the estab-
lishment, who lives at Kelso, requested
that piano tuner be sent UP for some
work. Instructions were given that
the gentleman should come on the
early morning train, and a rig would
be sent in for him.
The management decided that Mr..
Wafl, a recent arrival from Little
Old New York." was the proper man
to do the job artistically. He was dis
patched on the early Great Northern
and arrived at Kelso before the man
with the team.
He waited around the depot awhile
and then went to the general store to
make some inquiries. He was told to
stick around, that the teams from the
about in the morning.
After awhile Wahl saw a man with
a team drive up to the depot. The
driver got out and looked carefully
over all the freight shipments on the
platform, handling each piece and
closely scrutinizing the tags. He was
evidently disappointed in his investi-
cations, and finally went over to the
general store, asking the proprietor If
he had seen any freight or express for
his employer. The driver said his en-
ployer was expecting a piece of ma
chinery up on the early train and had
sent MIN over for It,
The storekeeper asked the driver
what kind of machinery he expected,
and the latter replied-much to Wahrs
astonishment--that he was looking
for a piano tuner.

In the Fargo campaign there

days Of the strI.' gle the not in
frequent demonstration of the
r-zealousness OF well-meaning
but thoroughly impractical advo-
Gates of reform. II there were ever
any doubts in the minds of op-
ponents of the commission system
as to the outcome or the election
certainly the reading OF The Daily
News during the last week must
have given them courage. So rank,
so vicious, and so personal have
its editorial utterances been that
some of the strongest advocates Of
the commission system, while
steadfast in their adherance to the
cause and anxious to do all that
could be done in reason to carry

been constrained, over their sig
natures and in their public utter
ances to repudiate the character
of warfare made by the only news
| paper In Fargo espousing the
cause of the So called reform. 1t is
another case of bad judgment, of
unfortunate substitution Of per-
sonal abuse for argument-of
gross exaggeration of the evils
that now exist to the discourage
ment of the really practical and
honest champions of rational and
permanent reforms N govern
