The coming of winter wealth
er again points emphatically to
neglected industry in North
Dakota. We refer to the scar
city of good butter and fresh
eggs. This annual scarcity
with the consequent sharp rise
in prices indicates clearly that
there is need for closer atten-
ton to the business of dairy
ing and the business of poultry
farming. It would also sug-
gest that there is money to be
made by giving more attention
to these matters.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

TO each and all of it's readers
and patrons, to our friends and
their friends and to those not
friends to any of us, if such
there be, The Courant wishes a
Merry Christmas with all the
good gifts and graces, all the
wholesome holiday spirit and
merriment, all the feasting and
fun that can be incident to the
greatest day of the year.
We are not moved to preach
a sermon on Christmas Observ-
ance for we take it that each of
us has good reason to feel the
personal application of Peace
on Earth, good will toward
Men" and that, imbued with
the spirit of Christmas, we will
need no sermons to teach us tC
so observe the day that it shall
fill the hearts of others with
gladness and make the day
memorable to those who live
to celebrate many other ami.
versaries.
Ours is a land of plenty and
you will all have much to eat
and many reasons to be glad
so we end as we began-by
wishing you very Merry
Christmas.

CURRENCY LEGISLATION

Gu RRENCY LEGISLATION
The Dubuque Ga. Telegraph
Herald prints the following g
ing editorials: Mr.. Bryan
sounds warning of the purpose
ofthe sinister financial influence
back of the Aldrich currency
scheme to force it's adoption in
the next congress.
1t is almost incredible that so
vicious scheme as that pro-
posed by the discredited senator
from Rhode Island should be
considered seriously in this en-
lightened hour when exper-
ience teaches that nothing of
good in Legislative matters can
be expected from the Rhode
Island genius.
His scheme, it may be recall
ed,proposes asset currency. I'm
der it's operation, this newspa-
per, let us say, borrows on it's
notes at a national bank. The
latter uses this note as basis
for asset currency notes. In
other words. it makes the in
terest on the loan to this news
paper and then makes the in
terest on other money of it's
own issued on the basis of this
newspapers note. Stated an
other way, it makes one dollar
serve the function of two.
This, it is Immediately appar-
ent, is no more and no less
than proposal to give the
bankers something for nothing,
and is most vicious initiation.
Nor is that all. The bill
furthermore substitutes for
federal government control
trustee, or group, control. The
measure is one so dangerous in
many respects that it's adoption
would be a genuine calamity.
