.CLEWS DISCUSSES
MOROCCAN SCARE

In his special letter of Sept. 10 Hen
ry Clews of New York says:
wall Street is completely mystifled
and depressed by prolonged liquida-
ton. Prices, it is admitted, have de-
clined to a point fully discounting all
known unfavorable factors. The Nor
ocean situation does not entirely eX-
plain the present fall in values. In
the first place, no one really expects
war as a result of the present dispute
between Germany and France. The
prize would not be worth its cost
War between Germany and France
would. mean an expenditure of not less
than S5,0OO,O0O a day, would cause
grave disarrangement of industrial and
commercial affairs throughout Europe
and set its participants backwards a
full generation. There is every reason,
therefore, to believe that ultimately
the Moroccan incident will be satisfac-
torily adjusted; yet behind the whole
trouble lies the portentous fact that
Germany wants elbow room. Her large
population needs land and resources
for its expanding energies. Germany
finds herself bottled up, with all the
desirable portions of the world pre-
empted by other nations. Consequent
ly, whenever occasion permits her dip
lomats put on the greatest pressure
possible at points of least resistance.
This unquestionably explains the occa-
sional eruptions witnessed in Ger
many's international policy
. "As a result of Germany's recent
prosperity her credit at home and
abroad has been greatly extended.
Considerable borrowings have been
made in both France and England.
Credit is always extremely sensitive,
and under existing conditions 1T was
but natural that Paris and even Lon
don should curtail their accommoda
lions to German enterprises as long

There Is nothing new about the idea
OF using sage for restoring the color OF
the hair. Our great grandmothers kept
their locks soft, dark and glossy BY
using sage tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on a dull faded or
streaked appearance they made a
brew Of sage leaves and applied 1t to
their hair, with wonderfully beneficial
erect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
TO old-time. tiresome methods of gath
ering the herbs and making the tea.
This is done by skillful chemists bet
ter than we could do 1t ourselves and
all we have to do is to call for the
ready made product, Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. containing
sage in the proper strength, with the
addition OF sulphur another old time

Crosby Review: The political pot
is boiling at white heat and the news
papers are beginning to line up for
their respective candidates. A perus-
al of the leading organs of the repub-
lican party indicates q strong senti-
ment for L. B. Hanna as standard
bearer on the state ticket. There are
others mentioned by the insurgent pa
pers, among whom are Andy Miller,
Usher L. Burdick and III. III. Aaker,
the latter having already declared
himself as willing to enter the race.
Miller seems to have found little en-
thusiasm awaiting his declaration,
while Burdick and Aaker have con-
siderable of a following in their
branch of the party. It seems to be
generally conceded that the insurgent
ranks will be split between the two
latter named gentlemen, with second
choice for Hanna who in that case
would have a walkaway,

GUN ToTlNe.

From the number OF hold-ups that
have occurred in North Dakota this
year It is quite evident there is room
for the enforcement OF the law against
pistol toting. The crook-armed with
revolver-has great advantage ov-
er HIS unprotected victims.
Many states have prohibited the
sale OF revolvers and others have en-
acted such drastic penalties for car
rying concealed weapons that the
practice is being reduced.
II II is made more difficult to Sc
cure revolvers and the penalty against
carrying them is rigidly enforced
there will not only be fewer hold ups
but less other crimes that arise
from sudden passion and anger.
There are perhaps fifty places in
Fargo where revolvers are openly sold
from the cheap pot-metal variety
to the highest new grade guns. A man
man with murder in his heart-and
thugs who wish to exact toll from
honest toilers-have no dificulty in
securing the weapons they need in
their business.
New York has sentenced a man to
the penitentiary for carrying con-
cealed weapon. This is the first con-
viction made under the new law
which makes 1t felony to carry a
weapon, and a misdemeanor to pos
sess one without license. II has
been found desirable in the empire
state to put a stop to custom which
in the event of an angry dispute
might result in murder. 1t will be
well for the authorities of North Da-
kota to keep watch on the workings
Of this law.

FRIDAY. OCT. is, 1911.
FIRE PREVENTION

North Dakotans are greatly inter
ested in fire prevention. The losses
in this state have been enormous.
Fargo has certainly contributed her
share to the reduction Of the profits of
the Insurance companies. Many Of
the smaller towns OF the state have
suffered most severely-especially
those In which most Of the business
places were the old-fashioned frame
structures.
Many Of the smaller towns have in
adequate fire protection-and in the
winter time when most of the serious
fires occur-the difficulty in securing
suficient water is great handicap.
Representatives OF insurance COM
.panies are endeavoring to educate
the people Of North Dakota to exer-
else more precautionary measures-to
leave less rubbish lying loosely
around--to be more careful in hand
ling gasoline and kerosene.
/ The great annual waste from fire
losses reaches appalling figures and
men who engage in fire insurance bus
mess are driven almost to nervous
prostration.
One Of the results Of the careless
methods and lack OF prevention is the
high insurance rates. In some towns
the figures are almost prohibitive and
many business men are unable to car
ry a SUFFICIENT amount to cover their
/. losses. In case of fire they are left
with impaired credit and some times
are almost financially ruined.
In addition to the large number Of
fires from causes Wilhelm many in
stances could be prevented-North
Dakota has suffered heavily this year
from losses which appear to have been
of incendiary origin. No penalty is
too severe for the courts to impose on
firebugs and arson hends.

U. S. SUPREME COURT.

The United States supreme court
the balance wheel of the government
is again in session, after a four
months rest.
Like all steadying devices in ma
chinery. It runs silently and smoothly
attracting no attention. until things
show a tendency to tipple and totter
and the need OF balance is felt
Then it makes itself known and the
nation becomes conscious of the
righting influence which it exerts.
Hardly any question OF morals OF
economics thee touches the lives of the
people deeply-and on the proper So
luton of which advancement is predt-
cated-fails in some form or other to
come before the supreme court.
Just now the court is dealing with
the great question of the trusts-the
supreme economic problem-and at
each OF its sessions some history
making decisions are rendered.
The most important questions to be
considered at the present session con-
Germ the further application of the
Sherman antitrust law. The ever
swelling volume OF commerce calls
for an ever enlarging application OF
the interstate commerce regulations
This feature will occupy large share
of the courts attention.
That this is a time of unrest and
readjustment-particularly economic
unrest and readjustment-- is attested
by the large number of cases now on
the courts calendar.
When the court was first organized
there was little business to come be-
fore it. It's most active duties were
to meet and adjourn. with the
growth Of the nation this was all
changed-the court now finds that II
has more than it can do.
AT this session the court, through
committee of its members, is to in
stitute a complete revision Of the
equity practice in the federal courts
throughout the country. The present
system has been outgrown and has
been productive of the delays thai
constitute the greatest fault OF Amer
lean Jurisprudence.
This Is to be remedied. and the
court win no doubt be able to evolve
a plan whereby it can prevent the
volume of business from getting be-
yond control-as has been the case
for several years past.
