lower wages. The tendency of wages
is to seek the point at which the wage
Garner is able to subsist. When prices
are high wages increase without any
increase of comfort or satisfaction to
the wage Garner. When prices de-
crease, wages follow, keeping at the
point where the wage Garner is just
able to keep food on his table and q
roof above his head.
We believe that the Wilson admin
istration hopes to improve conditions.
We are afraid that the results of its
efforts will not be as evident as the
President would have them. There is
a deeper lying cause for present ills
than tariff or currency laws. We
need a social revolution. We must
find way to decrease the difference
between the rewards of labor and the
rewards of capital Courier-News.

Northwestern farms on the free list,
it will cruelty our farmers" 1t is
clear, he is reported as saying, that
the greatest harm to the farmers will
come from the rates on wheat and
wheat flour. The reduced rates on
barley, he believes, will also greatly
injure the American farmer; for one
reason because the Canadian barley
is said to be superior to American bar
ley, and is used more largely by brew
ers in making malt.
1t is difficult to see how q Minnesota
farmer is to be crucified by taking the
tariff off wheat, which was selling this
week for 81 1-2 cents in Winnipeg and
81 "a cents bushel in Minneapolis.
What good is 25-cent duty doing the
American farmer in that case? At
the same time the price for barley in
Minneapolis was 54 cents, or about 6
cents more than the price in Winnipeg,
and cents is less than the cost of
freight between the two cities. Does
any farmer imagine that barley would
be "a cents bushel in this country if
the SO-cent duty were removed?
If, as the senator says, Canadian
barley is better than ours, and is u.s.
ed more largely by the brewers, those
brewers must have to pay the 30
cent duty in addition to the price in

The Devils Lake farmers believe
they have solved the labor problem.
They have conferred with the Com
mercial club and as a result the Devils
Lake band will give three concerts a
week for the farm hands, the farmers
have all agreed to quit work at 6 o.
clock each evening and many Of them
will send their hands to town in autos
for the evenings recreation. Free
transportation to the Chautauqua
grounds and the lake will likely be
provided. If there is anything further
that the laborers desire, they can sure
ly get it from that accommodating
lot of farmers.

ARE THEY FUNDAMENTAL?

If we read conditions Alright as they
have been unfolded in the work Of the
Wilson administration to date, we
find that the President and his advis-
ers are concerned with two reforms.
First comes the revision downward Of
the tariff, long demanded by the peo-
pie; second the reform of currency
legislation. Upon these two meas
ures the administration seems to have
staked it's hope for lettering condi-
tions for the common people of the
country.
Are either Of these changes, even
though worked out with the greatest
care and the single thought Of the en-
tire nations welfare in mind, likely to
bring about the conditions Of social
justice which is the thing that is in
reality bein gdemanded, the thing
which is behind the far spread cry
for reduction of the tariff.
The sponsors for the new tariff mea-
sure declare it will decrease the cost
Of living. II that is the case we shall
have cause to rejoice. However, will
it bring the Improvement in condi-
lions which is predicted for it?
We may state this principle as an
axiom. Whatever the condition in
business, big or little, there is real
competition in labor. With lower
living cost there will be in all likelihood

When the Devils Lake landoffice
consolidates with the Minot landoffice
August 80, there will be but four
land Offices left in the state, all being
located in the western part. And
with the enlarged land act enabling
homesteaders to file on 800 acres, it
is expected that what land is left in
the state for entry will be snapped up
in a hurry. God is making more peo-
pie all the time, but he isn't making
any more land. With practically all
of the free land in North Dakota gone
the truth Of that statement becomes
realization.

The English sparrow is said to be
a great carrier of tuberculosis, as full
ly 40 per cent of them are infected
with it. A college man who has made
some investigation of the matter is
authority for the statement. He fur
ther states that the alimentary canal
of the birds is great harbinger for
the disease germ, which are thrown
out with their droppings and then
turned loose for everybody with the
dust blown up by the wind. One of
the pests to get rid of, it would seem,
is this same sparrow, as we'll as the

North Dakota crop prospects have
improved wonderfully within the past
three weeks. Good rains in many sec

good growing weather. Long heads,
well filled, but shorter plants, is the

which the state is growing a greater
acreage annually, is in excellent con-
dition, while fax promises a good
yield. North Dakota farmers are we'll

THE STAFF VERDICT.

Human life is regarded as cheap in
North Dakota. A farmer wishes to
get his wife out Of the way and he
brutally shoots her TO death in bar
rel. A dozen witnesses are brot to
show that the man threatened to end
the woman's life hundreds of times
and her life had been in danger for
years. He had tried to carry out his
threats before but kind Providence
had saved her. But the merciful and
all-wise Ruler of our destinies per-
mitted the brute of husband to STAY
the woman who had borne him eight
children, and this happened on Moth
ers' Day. Mrs. Staff is better off
dead than she was alive. Her life was
a hell on earth. :
The ignorant being who called him
self her husband, who led her to the
altar when she was an innocent, un-
sophisticated Polish girl, gets away
with ten-year sentence for man.
slaughter in the first degree. Nine of
the jurors wanted to find him guilty
of murder in the first degree, but
particularly chicken-hearted individ-
uals threatened to cause a disagree
ment and the result was compro-
mise.
We don't believe in lynching as
rule; the law ought to be allowed to
take its course, but justice should be
meted out. There is no justice in such
a verdict, however. In this instance
nice quiet little neck-tie party
would have saved the county few
thousand dollars and a brutal muir
der would have been avenged.

A SPLENDID EXAMPLE.

The St. Paul Dispatch has dug up
a speech made by Congressman
Young of North Dakota that is wor-
thy of wide publicity. The Dispatch
comments rs follows. ....-
The Congressional Record reports
recent speech in congress by Rep
resentative Young of North Dakota
which seems to have been overlooked
at the time and probably unjustly OBJ
scured by tariff and currency consid-
GRAFTON. What the occasion was we
have no present means of knowing
but Mr.. Young took advantage of it
to recall to congress the incidents con-
nected with the Bagot and Rush
treaty of 1917 which resulted in the
disarmament, since that time, of the
Great Lakes. It was merely an Tex
change of notes" between Charles Ba-
got, the British minister, and Richard
Rush, acting secretary of state, by
which modest designation is known
the agreement which for hundred
years has kept the lakes free from
armament and discovers such great
cities as Chicago, Detroit, Toronto and
Montreal without the investment of
a single dollar for land defenses eth
er in men or forts.
What Mr.. Young called to the par
ticular attention of congress was the
fact that in spite of the simple, easy,
method of its annulment- months
notice by either of the contracting
parties-this treaty has remained in
force for nearly century, blessing
to the people Of two nations and a
powerful argument for naval disarm-
ament the world over. Here is the
concrete example Of 100 years Of nav
al disarmament upon the great inland
seas of the North American conti-
nent.
The reliable Congressional Record
notes that the delivery Of a short
speech by Congressman Young was
punctuated by frequent applause. In
this one respect the official preserver
of national legislative thought and &C
ton is prone to exaggeration. The
terms "(applause)" and "Claughter)"
appear with suspicious frequency to
relieve and illumine its otherwise
prosy pages. But in this instance it
must be accepted as accurate and the
applause as appropriate and we'll mer-
tied.
