The suggestion of Fred w. Mclean
for the postmastershlp at Fargo is made
by democratic papers of Bismarck and
other parts of the state and with the
scramble for that particular political
plum among the 'prominent and popu-
lar democrats, it is not altogether
improbable that if one of the latest
Offices in the state is to be really filed
by a man who has an honest claim for
distinguished public service in the rank
and file of the party that Fred Mclean
ought to be able to crowd some of those
professional political wire pullers clear
back where they belong, in the discard.
Here IN Langdon, where naturally "Mac"
is perhaps better known than anywhere
else in the state we are inclined to be-
lieve that if unselfsh and Intelligent
work. covering a period dating from
statehood clear up to the present time.
entities one to party recognition, then
Fred Mclean should have the Fargo
post Office, if he wants it.

Over at Cando they have had cause to
transpose the fret line of that we'll
known old hymn "Where is my wander
ing boy tonight" The story goes that
the state humane officer has been there
and has unearthed what promises to be
such a sensational social scandal that it
will shake Cando from center to circum.
ference. 1t is said to involve several of
the more prominent men Of the town,
said to be responsible for the moral de-
%linquencies of four young girls, all of
about the age of fourteen years. Now
there are fathers and mothers IN Cando
who sadly reflect that they should have
given heed to the mental query of

THE FARMER AND THE TARIFF.

Senator McCumber of North Dakota
and other republican lackeys of the
tariff special privilege have been plead
ing tearfully for the farmer. They
have been picturing the ruin that will
come to him under the new tariff law,
with an eye to the possibility that if
they can continue to fool the farmer
about the tariff as they have done for
two generations, maybe the farmer will
'vote republican" next time and turn
the democrats out. The farmer is in
deed a pitiable object when you con-
slider what the new tariff law is going
to do to him. Stand patters say that the
new tariff system puts the farmers pro-
ducts on the free list, thereby running
him, and gives him no compensating
advantages. With wheat ten cents
higher at Winnipeg than it is III Duluth
or Minneapolis, it Is easy to see how the
farmer is going to be buried under a
flood of the pauper grain of Canada.
And the tariff system devised by the
democrats hardly puts a single thing
the farmer buys on the free list. Hardly
a single thing, with these EXCEPTIONS:
Cotton Eagging Cotton Sacks
Plows Harvesters
Threshing Machines Rakes
Reapers Drills and Planters
Binders Harrows
ShovelS Hoes
Mowers Planters Implements
Farm Machinery Wire Fencing
Harness Saddlery
Wagons Fertilizers
Carts, Trucks Boots and Shoes
Road Making Material
That's aboet all of the things the
farmer buys which the new tariff puts
on the free list. Truly, the way the
democratic tariff heaps abuse on the
farmers is a terror!

Political gossip says that Judge Chas.
Fisk of the state supreme court may be
a democratic candidate for United States
senator from North Dakota in 1914, and
from the same reliable source of infor-

Although at tunes it has ueen subject
ed to outbursts of criticism this paper
has at intervals advised its readers to
let well enough alone and remain in
North Dakota. Instead many sold their
holdings here and located in the Cana
dian Northwest, many to their sorrow.
Several have already returned, poorer
but wiser. We are reliably informed
that conditions in a financial way are
more stringent than they ever we're in
the states during the period of our
most serious panics. Hundreds of men
are walking the streets of Edmonton,
Calgary, Moosejaw and other boom
Canadian cities looking for work which
cannot be found. The Canadian tinan-
cial bubble seems to have burst and
no relief is IN sight. The Canadian
banks backed by the banks Of England,
have received instructions to loan NO
more money. A farmer may have valu-
able holdings but cannot borrow a dollar
on them. Many that bought property
in the Canadian cities at fabulous prices
are now "holding the bag" Money was
plentiful as long as property changed
hands often and at a profit, but an end
was bound to come t. the fictitious
values. Those who bought property on
the payment plan have their good
money tied up, payments are coming
due and not a dollar can be borrowed,
on the property. Serious losses will
result.

the parties hereto reserve the right to

I'm the peace plan proposed by the
president to all the nations the com
position of the international commits
sion is left to agreement between the
parties, and l am authorized to sug-
gest for the consideration Of those who
are willing to enter into this agree
ment:
"First.-That the international com
mission be Of five members, to be com
posed as follows: One member from
each of the contracting countries, to
be chosen by the government; one
member to be chosen by each Of the
contracting countries from some other
country. and the fifth member of the
commission to be agreed upon by the
two governments. the commission to
be appointed as SOC as convenient aft
er the making Of the treaty, vacancies
to be filed according to the original
appointment.
"Second.-The time also is to be
agreed upon, and it is suggested that
that time be one year. If a year is
considered too long or too short this
government will consider either a
| greater or a less period.
Providing For Emergencies.
"Third.-This government is prepared
to consider the question of maintain
ing the status quo as to military and
naval preparations during the period
Of investigation if the contracting ma.
ton desires to include this, and this
government suggests tentatively that
the parties agree that there shall be nc
change in the military and naval pro.
gram during the period Of investigation
unless danger to n of the contracting
parties from a third power compels a
change in said program, in which case
the party feeling itself menaced by q
third power shall confdentially com,
municate the matter in writing to the
other contracting party. and it shall
thereupon be released from the obliga
ton not to change it's military or nava,
program, and this release will at the
same time operate as a release of the
other contracting party. This protects
each party from the other in ordinary
cases and yet provides freedom of &C
ton in emergencies.
"All Of these suggestions, however
are presented for consideration and no
with the intention of imposing any
fixed conditions. The principle Of in
vestigation being accepted, the detail:
