.. ). IN raIRp PLACE.

From second place in point of ton
mage the navy Of the United states
has dropped TO third place, Germany
having exchanged rank with Uncle
Sam. Figures just complied show that
the navy is nearly $1,000 tons below
that of Germany, and moreover that
when all the new vessels in course of
construction by both nations are com
pleted the lead win be increased to
more than 200, 900 tons.
1T is difficult to scare the American
people over the dropping of the navy
70 third place. This country is most
fortunately situated geographically,
being protected by thousands Of miles
Of water from any strong nation which
might attack. Were it otherwise our
great stretch Of seacoast would be a
disadvantage.
England and Germany are straining
every nerve to build up their nayies,
preparing for a possible clash. For
this country to try to follow the pace
vet by these two nations, 20 whom war
Is an ever-present specter. would be
absurd. Were this country in the po-
aition Of either Of these two great ma
tons there would be more excuse for
trying to keep to the front
by all means this country shouId
make q respectable showing as a world
power, but there is no use In becoming
hysterical over the activities Of Ger
nnary, which are directed towards
England. and in no sense toward the
United States.

WEDNESDAY. JAN .. 1919.
THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

A characteristic which predominateE
Governor Hanna's message to the leg
islature, delivered at Bismarck today
and made public in fuli in this issue
OF The Forum is its plain, practical
common sense. 1t is q straight for
ward discussion Of conditions In North
Dakota. as Mr.. Hanna sees them, with
oct. any attempts at aowery speech or
fancy friIls.
The governor had a real message TO
deliver and ne gave it in simple and
therefore eloquent language that all
can readily understand and for which
Governor Hanna is noted.
The message is very complete and
comprehensive. The governor goes
right to the heart Of every topic he
touches upon, gives a clear, concise
View of the subject under discussion
and then makes a pertinent suggestion
or recommendation that shows that he
has a very clear conception Of the
needs Of the case.
One Of the most valuable sugges
tons and one upon which The Forum
has already expressed an opinion. is
hat recommendation for a uniform
system Of accounting for the state.
The state business said Mr.. Hanna,
is the largest business within the
borders Of the state and the system
that should be ad~opted~s""t should be
so full and complete, and at the same
time Of such simplicity, that any lay
man might understand and be able to
determine at any time the true fnan-
cial condition OF any office within our
commonwealth"
That such a system is not only
practicable but easily feasible, Mr..
Hanna proves by showing that every
bank and other large business con-
Germ has such a system IN operation
as q matter Of course. The Forum be-
lieyes that the present legislature can
make an enviable record by putting
this one suggestion alone, into prac-
teal operation.
The entire message is replete with
just such practical suggestions. The
discussion OF the good road question,
the educational question. the 3
ton for cooperation on the part Of
the counties in the better farming
movement, the farmers institute ques-
ton. the farm credit suggestion, the
discussion Of straw waste, the e
ton for q state business agent ana
the many other topics taken up, all
are interesting, and, what is more inn
portant, they are All sane, live topics
Of vital interest to the welfare Of the
state as a whole.
Every man and woman in the state
can well a the time to give Mr..
Hanna's message a very cordial read
IAg.

keepste he saw a woman at the rail
waiting for confirmation whose face
he was sure he recognized and was
somewhat familiar with. He was
also certain that she had been con-
firnled within the week at another
place. The bishop whispered to her
to remain after service. and said:

STRING wHEAT SURPLUS.

Discussing the wheat situation The
Minneapolis Tribune says:
Accumulation Of wheat in the north
western terminals the last few weeks
has been very heavy. The increase,
however, was, one week, more than off,
set BY dtsappearances at other points,
which resulted In an actual decrease
In supplies, and at other times the
domestic visible enlarged very moder-
ately in comparison with the increase
IN spring wheat stocks.
Inc heavy and pressing wheat sur-
Plus centers in Minneapolis and Du-
luth, making them the cheapest mar
kets on the continent-cheaper even
thar the Canadian market. Winnipeg.
The northwegts record crop has
poured into the primary markets IN
record volume and is still pouring, al
though the flood has subsidized to a de-
gree which marks the passing OF the
crest Of the movement and a more no
ticeable falling off In receipts is now
expected by the grain trade.
The interior, however, is carrying a
liberal remainder surplus both in
country elevators inc farmers hands
but the bulk OF this wheat will be
carried until prices are more attrac-
tive or, at least, until next spring. The
elevator interests, who prefer TO carry
LiiEi huluAIIS5 IN the country, the car
rying charge ~fDsuring them a profit,
have already hedged their wheat in
the pit and the effect of its weight is
registered in the current quotations.
This wheat is not likely TO be brought
in until cash wheat is at a premium
relative to the May future or to deliv-
err on contract May 1.
The extraordinary crop raised in the
northwest last summer is being called
upon to meet extraordinary demands.
The heavy marketing has cheapened
1t TO the advantage Of the buyer. The
commercial demand has been marked
by great activity and the broadest
consumption known to the trade in
years. Northwestern mills are not
only doing an active business but the
shipping demand for spring wheat TO
meet the shortage east Of the Missis-
sippi river ig large. Were transport
tation conditions at the present time
normal the outmovement of wheat and
flour from the local market would,
undoubtedly, more than offset the
movement in.
The merchandising position of wheat
continues strong. The demand, of
course. is still met with ample sup-
plies but the absorption is sufficient to
inject irmness into the market and
suggest price betterment.

manufacture and placing upon the
market in this state of these bril-
