My friend, the other day heard
you singing the praises Of a certain
man. According to your talk, he was
the greatest man this part of the
country ever produced. You were
acquainted with him and knew what
you were talking about. This good
man has crossed the bar. But you
are only one of many and 1t is the
some old story, day after day. After
they are gone we sing their praises
and erect granite monuments to their
memory. While they. are living
among us we say. nothing to encour-
age them when the road is rough and
their cross heavy. All of US are viii
ling to take day off to carry flow
ers to the bier of any Of our departed
friends. But what did we do to make
them happy while they were among
us? AS fer as those who are gone Is
concerned, one flower here and one
word Of cheer while they we're among
US, would have been worth more than
whole hot house and eulogy from
the lips of Demosthenes at the fu-
neral. But we have other friends
we are lneglecting and the day will
come when they, too, must cross the
bar.

nausea, headache, biliousness and
many other bad symptoms; and, be-
sides, you will not need laxatives to

THE BUSINESS SITUATION

Henry CleWs weekly financial re-
view says: In the general business
situation there is little change. Con-
fidence has received considerable
ers are having another good year, but
in nearly all departments OF industry
there is spirit of hesitation which
still keeps the volume of business be.
low a year ago. The question of cost
continues to be the great problem in
all lines of business. not only among
consumers. but equally with producers
and distributors. Many staple articles
of commerce have shown declining
tendency which is hopeful, and Sug-
gests that the country is one the way
to REIMBURSEMENT. Declining prices do
not usually stimulate business until it
is felt a settled level has been reach
ed. AS soon as this is realized we
may look for more activity in trade.
There is already better feeling in
the iron trad" as a result of the re-
adjustment accomplished there. Cotton
goods also have been moving freely
for similar reasons. Commodities
prices are showing a declining ten
dency which should be encouraged as
that is the surest way of restoring
equilibriums and reducing the cost Of
living, which is the basis of much
present unrest and depression. Our
foreign trade is showing better con-
ditiOns as result of lower prices for
staple commodities Curative processes
are steadily at work, and if nothing
occurs TO cause fresh impairment
of confidence some improvement in
business conditions should develop at
no very distant date.

c. A. JOHNSON AS HE is.

Here are facts concerning G. A..
Johnson as man. as these facts have
been developed and proven. He has
lived in Minot ever since it became a
city Of any size. Men who have
known him all these years publicly
assert thai he is clean. temperate,
honest. Industrious. progressive and
intelligent.
He served four terms as county
superintendent OF Ward county. a
pretty fair sample of public conf
dence. He served his city as mayor
and the law abiding citizens reflect
ed him. A good endorsement from
home. He was elected twice to the
legislature by the same people, good
proof that he served them ably and

TO the Editor:
Will you kindly help. by the publ
cation of this letter, national move
ment to rescue state flags from OBJ.
security in which they are now I'M
wisely allowed to rest.
1t would be no exaggeration to say
that half the children of any COM
monwealth do not recognize the state
, flag when they see it. Now that the
! national flag floats over every school
house in the land and the flag salute
. is taught to every child, it is time
! for each state to call attention to it's
own banner.
State sovereignty went out with
; the Civil war, but state loyalty is
, too precious ever to lose. It is the
little leaven which shall inspire So
clety to bring state citizenship to the
highest point. We have all heard that
chain is no stronger than it's weak
est link and it follows that the strong
er the good citizenship of any state,
the stronger the good citizenship of
the nation.
But to inculcate loyalty to a far
away national government we need to
make loyalty and government con-
crete conceptions. Patriotism like
charity begins at home and sacrifices
for town and state must precede sac
rifices for the nation.
We are told many times in the year
that the hope of the nation is in the
public schools Let's begin there, then,
in the matter of state flags. Let every
state encourage every school within
its borders to own and fly a state flag
side by side with the Stars and
Stripes. The state flag is the con-
crete symbol of state pride. As it flies
it will excite first curiosity, then in
terest. 1t will suggest state anniver-
saries, state history and tradition will
crop out, and our boys and girls will
grow up with lively conception of
the past glories and eminent citizen
ship of their commonwealth. On such
a foundation it will be easy to build
efficient patriotism.
Sincerely yours.

Patience has ceased TO be a virtue
Much have we suffered in. silence; the
time has come to speak out. This gov

now. 1t is no longer regulation. it is
interference. What its purpose may be
we cannot fathom, nor do we care to in
ouire. We only know that when it
comes to turning the Polo Grounds into
a morass. New York will be found to
know no party lines, no differences or
race or creed. We speak in solemn
warning. not yet in anger: Revolt may
become the truest form of loyalty.
We refuse TO be put off any longer
with disingenuous excuses. craftlly cir

the miserable weather, and 1T ism I. You
