n FRENCH VIEW.

1t is instructive at times to get the
foreign viewpoint of the Mexican
crisis. The French press especially
the Temps believes the A. B. c. ENJOYS
interviewed with offers of mediation
in order to prevent a further expan-
sion of North America.
The French press evidently misun-
derstands the controversy, for there
is no intention of invasion implied or
expressed. This quotation serves to
indicate the attitude of the serious
French press toward the Mexican sit
uation. 1t is from the Temps:
"The three republics who favor
mediation regard the expansion of
North America as a danger which has
to be faced. Division has for a long
time been a cause of weakness to-
these southern republics, and the task
which Brazil, Argentina, and Chile
are now undertaking for the pacifica.
tion Of Mexico plainly indicates that
South America is bound on checking,
by concerted action, the extravagances
of the Monroe Doctrine and the grad.
ual invasions of United States imper.
ialism." ,

Shows Practice Of Selling
Consigned Grain on Chamber
Minnesota Legislative Hearing Throws Some Sidelights on
the Way Grain Is Juggled at Terminal Markets

which the receiving house was finan-
cially interested. In the face of this
order, what were the scoreS3Of COM
mission houses to do who We're on
nected with mills and elevators? It
looked for a time as II their occupa-'
ton was gone. They rallied and sent
a delegation to st. Paul to protect the
action of the commission. The Com
mission very properly reafirmed its
rule Notwithstanding the protest made
by commission men who wanted the
privilege of selling consigned grain to
companies in which they were in
terested financially. as !.
Cannot BE Justified.
Selling consigned grain to ones self
and charging a commission for. 1t,
cannot be justified. The same is true
of selling to q company in which the
receiving house is interested or con-
nected. The fact that both practices
grew UP and were permitted in the
Chamber of Commerce, and the
further. fact that twenty of the Cham
ber's leading commission houses are
owned in whole or in part by mills
and elevators, illustrates the danger
of allowing a terminal market to be
operated under secret rules and prac-
tees by a group of men who are
simply interested in making money
out of the business. Certainly, If a
private market place is permitted at
all, it should be accompanied by two
things; First, public supervision. Sec
ond, the widest publicity as to rules
and practices.
At the present time the belief is
general that Chamber commission
firms are still selling consigned grain
to themselves in spite of the commits
sion's ruling. The organization is g.
closed club. Its. practices are shrouded
in secrecy, and the public does not
know.

Editor Bismarck Tribune:
Dear Sir:-1 am glad our paper
is boosting for the farmers terminal
selling agency. We farmers need the
support of the North Dakota papers
in this fight. We notice the Mime.
apolis papers are united against us.
Certainly they could not afford to fight
the chamber of commerce which is in
control of the political machine down
in Minnesota. l am sure the farmers
will take kindly to your cooperation
in this matter, and they will no doubt
reciprocate by sending you increased
subscriptions for the Tribune. 1 shall
advise all my neighbors to subscribe
for your paper. Your help to this
farmers movement is certainly much
appreciated in this section.
Yours very truly,

An excellent program vas rendered
last evening by the Bismarck band to
usher in the regular weekly concerts
upon the Court House lawn. The city
has no better advertising agency than
a band. The crowd which turned out

The band deserves the support, both

They create a community spirit and
help in putting Bismarck on the map
as a live, progressive city.
