\ EXPECTS
! PASSAGE

Washington, March 23.-While the
president has no doubt about the pass
age of the administration bill to re-
peal the Panama tolls exemption, he
is anxious that it be brough to a vote
promptly He has been advised that
the vote viii probably be taken as
!. soon as the rivers and harbors' bill
has been disposed of.
Wilson denied the charge made on
the floor of the senate that he at
tempted to limit the tolls bin debate
in the house. He let 1t be known that
while he had no part in suggesting a
rule to limit debate, he hopes there
will be one.
The president believes a number Of
republicans will support him in his
position to repeal the tolls exemption.

Judge Fitzgerald of New York
Declares Progressive Party
Is Here to Stay
SEVERAL SPEAKERS HEARD
Bull Moosers Will Push
Active Fight in Coming
State Campaign

The progressive party is in the field
to stay, is the declaration of Judge
James Fitzgerald OF New York, who
formally opened that party's campaign
in North Dakota here Saturday in an
address a. the Sons OF Norway hall.
Tho attendance was a. good one,
though nothing extraordinary. Many
OF the states leaders from various
sections Of the state were here to hear
the address.
Among the attendants we're Lieuten-
ant Governor kraabel OF Clifford.

Of Williston, Judge Lauder OF Wahpe-
ton, Sever Serumgard of Devils Lake,
O. J. Sorlie of Buxton, Dorr Carroll
Of Minot.

of the party in North Dakota, pre-
sided over the meeting and after
Judge Fftzgerald's address, he called
upon Judge Lauder, state Chairman
Carroll and Mr.. Serumgard OF Devils
Lake. .Es5rA
to the hall that his appearance there
was not to be construed that he was
bull mooser at all, but that he was
returning courtesy of the members
of that party who turned out to hear
him at one of his recent addresses in
Grand Forks. r-s 81
Jurist Predicts Victory.
Judge Fitzgerald apredicted victory;
for the progressive party in his ad-
dress. He said that tho party was
gaining strength everywhere aud that
it was not out to divide the spoils,
but to win so as to inaugurate the re-
forms necessary for the good of the
government. Il
There is no hope for the masses OF
the voters in either of this two old
parties" he declared. "Tf1ey arc out
only for the spoils of office and at
present both the old parties 4uas Go
divided into factions that It is inn
possible for them to accomplish any
thing or any of their pledges"
Judge Lauder was the second speak-
ri of the evening. F'he Wahpeton jur-
ist is reported to be in line for the
progressive nomination for United
States senator this year.
He spoke of the national aspect of
the party and the reason for its exist
ence. He was emphatic in showing
what he called to be the fallacy OF
those progressives who still wished to
align themselves with the republican,
party.
In Battle to Win.
Dorr Carroll of Minot, state chair
man of the party who is mentioned as
the partys candidate for attorney ge'sNA
eral, said the progressive party wa
the battle to win this year.
He likened the situation to the
nation of the republican party in
when it went down 10 defeat, but
it won four years later, in 1850. I
he reviewed Lincoln's refusal to a.

SEELEY MADE STATEMENT

London, March 23.-In the house
Of commons today Colonel See
ley, secretary Of state for war,
made brief and utterly vague
statement, the gist of which was
that some officers informed Gen.
eral Sir Arthur Paget, command
erin chief in ireland, that they
couldn't serve in certain eventu-
aIities. There had been a misun-
derstandins and troops were or
dered to rejoin heir regiments.
Both Premier Asquith and An.
drew Bonar Law leader Of the
opposition, spoke, Tho action of
the government in moving troops,
Law said, was foolish, as there
was no new situation in Ulster,
nor threatened outbreak.

London, March ga much easier
feeling was created in the British isles
by the reassuring statement, given out
by Premier Acquith to the effect that
the movements Of troops in Ulster
had been ordered only as a precau-
tionary measure for tho protection OF
government property.
, The inference is generally drawn
from the premier's remarks that the
governments intentions toward army
officers who do not desire to serve
against the Orangemen has been mis-
interpreted.
The public in all parts of the United
Kingdom awaited eagerly the cxplana-
ton of the cabinet in the house of
commons. to which body the Irish
controversy has been transferred. In
some quarters there is an inclination
to believe that Gen. Sir Arthur Paget,
commander chief in Ireland, plac-
ed q much graver Interpretation upon
the government inquiries as TO the
feelings of army officers in Irish gar
risons, than was intended.

WHAT $50 WILL DO.

Joe Smith sold his first bale Of cot.
ton last week at 10 cents per pound,
realizing $50 cash for same. Meeting
a friend TO whom he was indebted he
paid him 500. To his plckers he paid
$3.50. To his grocer he paid s17, and
went to the restaurant and took a soc
dinner. While at dinner friend
came in and paid him 500 on an old
debt with the first 500 he had paid
ont of his cotton, and walking down
the street he met another man who
paid him $40 which he had collected
from the plckers to whom the farmer
had paid $3.50. Meeting another man
to whom he was Indebted he paid him
500 and this man turned II TO another
party to whom he was indebted. This
man happened to owe the man who
sold the bale $40 and handed II to him
with the remark II was the first mon
ey he had collected in six months and
he was glad TO be able to pay this
money as he had owed II for year.
The man who sold the bale paid sos
Of debts with II and when ready to
go home found he still had $3.50 left.
And could II be ascertained the full
amount OF debts the $50 paid II would
reach several hundred dollars. Yet
the seller has his fifty left. This illus.
trates how much a small amount will
pay when put in actual circulation.

TO SELL OR TO HoLD'

After all II Is extremely doubtful II
any OF the hundreds OF schemes being
proposed to finance the cotton, or the
wild cat Legislation that is being en-
acted. will help the situation a par
ticle in the world All Of them contem-
plate large expense accounts and large
interest accounts, all OF which must
come out of the cotton, and II is
doubtful II any Of the proposed plans
would ultimately cause II TO sell for
enough above present prices to equal
this expense. In spite Of all our
plans II may be that the wise thing
to do would be to sell the cotton meet
all obligations as far as possible, and
then exert our efforts on some plan
10 carry the deficit. This would al
least remove one danger and a great
one, that OF carrying over large part
OF this crop into next years crop. II
this 10 done, and the acreage reduc
ton movement should come to naught
II would be fatal TO the cotton grow
ing interests To have two crops OF
hand at one time would be worse
than the war, or anything else.

the thing to do; we do not know; NJ
one knows; but It is offered merel!
as a suggestion and We believe 1t 4
worthy Of consideration.

We may be profoundly grateful for
the Atlantic ocean for policy that has

impervious TO the germs OF war. The
frightful conditions OF Europe suddenly
throw into high relief the blessings
which we have come to think OF as
normal The slaughter house in Eu.
rope is the saddest thing in the his
tory of the world. Hundreds OF thou
sands Of lives are lost, millions OF ca.
reers are ruined: nearly every man OF

butchered like cattle. The taste for
blood Is raised In them ALL
What the Channel and the North
Sea are to England. the Atlantic and
the Pacific are to us. We are far re
moved from the congested centers OF
jealous powers which crowd one an
other in Europe, With our neighbors
We live without the assumption OF a
coming war. There is not a fortified
ton on either side OF either border.
We have no foreign policy OF az
gression. We have no alliances. BY

FIRE PREVENTION DAY,
FRIDAY, OCTOBER Q, 1915

To the Public:
Your attention is called to the fact
that Governor Colquitt has issued a
proclamation designating October .,
1914. as Fire Prevention Day." in
Texas. This day is 10 be observed
by general cleanup programs. On this
day all citizens OF this state are urged
TO clear their premises OF the fire haz-
ards. The suggestion is made that
the fire prevention campaign should
be started at once and that the work
should cover everything in buildings,
from cellar to roof and extend to ev-
cry corner OF yards and alleys. II
is in filth and refuse materials that so
many fires originate. Examine your
flues and chimneys carefully. Have
them cleaned and placed in order for
the coming winter season and save
work and trouble for the fire depart
ment. We contend that the everyday
fire breeding defects can be corrected
and that every citizen owes II TO his
neighbor as well as to himself to
guard in every possible way against the
probability OF fire.

SPEAKING OF THE COAL BILL.

A special dispatch to the Post-ln' telligencer of October 21 from its Washington correspondent says:
 "Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, in saying that the passage of the Alaska coal leasing bill is an achievement of which congress may we'll be proud, for it has been achiev ed without bitterness and practically without partisanship,' pays high compliment to Senator Jones and to Congressman Humphrey, Johnson and La Toilette, of Washington. It was only through the efforts of these men after the bill had practically failed that it was once more taken up and with the assistance of Secretary Lane placed on it's final passage"
 This successful issue came aDoI' after "Alaska's True Friend" had ar rived in Alaska to tell the boys that nothing is done for the territory al the capital except when he pumps the bellows.
