American Spirit of Fairness.

Il know this Is the feeling of the Brit
ish people. 1 believe II is the feeling of
your people also. and say so not merely
from my personal observation. but from
what I have observed I'm the organs OF
public opinion. The American press as a
whole has shown in these later years a
fairness and friendliness toward other
nations-most. perhaps. but not exclusive
ly, to Great Britain-a respect for inter
national obligations and a desire to full
fill them in a Straightforward and honor
able way, which. as 1 believe. repre- sent
the true and general, sentiment. of the

Legislation Aimed at Foreign
ers Occasions Deep Concern
in New Republic.

The energy with which Japan has re-
sisted the enactment of the pending alien
land-holding legislation in California has
persaps obscured the fact that the many
Chinese in that state will also suffer
from the same enactment, though not in
proportion to the Japanese residents. The
Chinese legation here. though noting the
fact, has RETAINED from lodging any pro-
test at the State Department, while
awaiting instructions from Picking, as
we'll as the issue of the negotiations be-
tween America and Japan regarding the
question of alien land ownership
1t is apparent, however. that the
threatened blow at the rights Of Chinese
citizens is viewed with deep concern,
coming at the moment when the United
States government had been seeking to
encourage the Chinese people to follow
in the footsteps of the great republic by
extending recognition to the infant
democracy.

FATHER AND SON DROWN.

Lost Lives at Lakewood While
Booming Logs.
LAKEWOOD, April IA Especially The
saddest accident which has befallen this
community in years was the drowning
of John r. Moore and son Cecil E., while
taking boom OF logs across the meadow
Wednesday night.
At about O'Clock Wednesday evening,
Mr.. Moore and his son left their home to
start the boom of about seventy five cords
OF stavewood which was moored at the
foot OF their field; their intentions were
to pole it across the meadow to the river,
doing 1t at night when there was no wind.
No one will ever know just how the ac-
cident happened. When the men did not
A party OF searchers found the boom
shortly after noon Thursday, drifting near
the southwestern part OF the meadow,
with it the body OF Mr.. Moore, sr. He was
lying with the left arm over a stick OF
,, stavewood, and one OF his legs caught in
the overturned boat. His head and right
shoulder were partly submerged in the
| water. He had evidently died OF ex-
posure.
The body OF the son was not found until
| Sunday noon, though careful search was
made over the broad expanse OF flowed
| meadow. A stake was found where an
attempt had been made to stake the boom
during the night. An axe, a maui used to
| drive the stake, and a mitten were found
near by, indicating that the boat which
they had was upset near the stake.
| The sons body was found long dis
tance from where the accident evidently
occurred, and in the direction OF the drift
of the boom, leading to the assumption
that he clung to the boom until exhausted.
| Mr.. Moore's funeral was held Saturday
afternoon, being delayed for the arrival
| OF the daughter. CeciPs funeral was held
| Monday afternoon.
| Heartfelt sympathy is extended to the
family by friends and neighbors. Mr..
Moore was unfortunate through life, hav-
ing had much sickness in his family, and
was not we'll himself, but had been hard
worker and q good neighbor. He leaves
widow and four children. Cecil was a
| good boy, loved and respected by all who
knew him, and will be greatly missed by
| the young people of the place.

Husbands as Substitutes for Votes.

Philadelphia Inquirer: Miss Fola La
Toilette, who in private life is known
as Mrs. George Middleton, has given
a new twist to the arguments in favor
Of the votes for women" campaign.
At a meeting in New York she de-
clared that a good husband was no
substitute for a vote. 1T" she said,
and the Sit" be it known, refers to
husbands, "is a fine thing to have-I
have one myself-but it in no way re-
lieVes women from the responsibility
of lawmaking."
With all due respect to Miss La
Toilette, we venture to predict that a
great many wonderland they may be
called old fashioned Il YOU itke--be-
Iieve hat a good husband is a mighty
fine substitute for a vote, and for a
lot of other things besides. The as
sertion of this ardent suffragist may
have been a chance shot, but it comes
pretty near hitting the heart of the
whole vexed question. The husband
is the natural head of the family,
and when he casts his vote he is do
ing so not only for himself, but for
his wife as well

been extended to many who ought not

bills are due-they hesitate to go after
the collections as they should, fearing
that they might hurt the customers

from the reports, more merchants have

this margin of profit was added to the

However, in many cases that have
come to my knowledge during my Wis

J. B. Nelson of Glen Ulin contrib
uted a fine article on Five Reasons
Why Some Retail Merchants Fail to
ton of the Retail Merchants of the
State of North. Dakota, which several
have asked to be reproduced in The
Forum. He is one of the go ahead
men of the business and the article is
as follows: .EH
"In a state like North Dakota that
has advanced SO rapidly within the
last years., there are naturally many
opportunities for new business. New
railroads are being constructed, land
opened for settlement and new set
tiers are coming into our state not
only from the eastern states but from
every civilized nation in the world.
With the construction of these new
railroads, new towns spring up and
with the building of the new towns
come the opportunities of new busi-
ness. I will discuss five reasons why
so many of the merchants in these new
towns fail.
First, the new merchant is too
anxious for business. We find that
with the building up of these new
towns, men go into business because
they have seen the outside of business
only and know very little about the
inside or practical part of business.
We know men who have gone into
business for themselves who have
clerked in a store for only a few years,
They see the amount of business that
the firm is doing and do not stop to
consider that the firm had been in
business for twenty years or more.
They go into business without prac-
teal experience or any responsibility
on their shoulders and imagine that all

and do a large business.
1.-THE second reason is lack of capi-
tai. Unless he restricts his business
to cash only, he will soon discover that
his troubles have begun. Thirty and
sixty days seem to come around so
fast and regular, and this Is usually
the term on most Of the goods that the
merchant handles, that unless the bills
are met promptly, he an soon expect
gentle reminders that the bills are
past due.
'.The third reason is the extending
.of too large a line of credit. In our
state which is principally ar agricuI-
.turaI state our returns must come
from the soil. Our people Q r at least
many Of them have to DO carried on
the books from six to ten months of
the year. Unless great care lis taken
the line Of credit that is extended In
order to do a large volume of business.
will be far too large for the capital
Invested in the business. When times
are good, prospects for a bountiful
crop and good prices for the farm
products are assured and money mar
5ket easy, business MAJ prosper and
run smooth but let a partial failure
come or money In the east tighten up.
then there lis trouble In sight.
THE fourth reason is leniency on.
collections. This Is n of the most
vital points In a successful business
career. Many merchants In going aft
er lei business have not used the
