Adieu TO the Newspaper BOYs

The members of The State Press Association have
come and gone. They are a royal lot and made many
friends, not only among themselves, but among the
citizens of the Capital City.
1t may be surprising 10 many to state that the
North Dakota State Press Association is the strong
est of its kind in the Union-nuMbers considered.
OF course there are many states a greater number
of members but those states are, in most cases,
divided into districts.
Here in North Dakota the entire organization is
as one, and there is almost a unanimity in the men,
bership. The boys stick together as a unit, and those
who have visited many state organizations claim that
there is no state association in the Union which is
as strong as that of our own.
The members of this association are typical west
ern men, strong in their likes and dislikes, absolutely
independent to speak as they see fit, without a curb
and liberal in the extreme. In q neighboring state
the association has the reputation of being dominated
by a certain trust, and several interests are very
strong in their influence. But no such condition ex-
lists in the North Dakota association. 1t has been
said that there are two kinds of independence-that
is, the man who is so rich that he is independent
and the man who is so poor that he IS independent.
lnasmuch as it can hardly be claimed that the aver
age newspaper man of North Dakota belongs to the
former class, it may be allowable to suggest or sur
mise that he belongs to the latter. However, be it
said the North Dakota press is about the least bound
of any in the Union, and for this reason it is a
power.
However, these boys have been royal guests-gen-
tlemanly and %congenial, and if they have enjoyed
thmselves on this occasion, the people of Bismarck
are satisfied. It may be assured that the people Of
this city were pleased to have the newspaper boys
with them as guests and hope they will come again,
without waiting too long. .a.--

The Reclamation to Jerusalem

Mankind probably will never rest content until
Jerusalem becomes a Christian city. There has not
been a time for three thousand years when Jerusa-
lem did not have an importance seemingly out of
all proportion to it's size. Geographically it is a
small place. TO Minneapolis people 1t may convey
some idea of it's size to say that there has hardly
been a time in the history of Jerusalem, ancient, in
the time of Jesus, or modern, when it could not have
been dropped into Lake Calhoun with room to spare.
A three-mile walk, except for the uneven ground,
would take one around the place.
Yet no city in the world has been so much in
public view. 1t was the city of David, and became
the prototype of the City of God the New Jerusa:
LEM. Kings and emperors coveted it, fought for it,
subdued it, and destroyed it. Valor such as cannot
be equaled anywhere, by any people, was displayed
by its defenders. Above all, it was the center of the
ministry of Jesus. That made it the Mecca of the
Christian world, and the lodestar that drew the
chivalry of Europe to its rescue in the middle ages.
The Jews have always looked forward to the day
when Jerusalem should be theirs as literally as it
vas before the Roman conquest. 1t is now announc-
ed that Nathan Straus, a wealthy New York mer-
chant, has retired from business and will devote
much Of his time henceforth to undermining the
ancient city of his race. Indeed, he has already made
a beginning. Always a man of large philanthropy,
he has, spent much money in making Jerusalem a
fit place in which a western man could live.
Travellers will appreciate the monumental task
which Mr.. Straus has undertaken. Jerusalem is an

J. La MOure e Co. Dissolved

=. The announcement this week Of the dissolution of
the oldtime business firm of J. LaMoure & Co., at
Pembina, marks another interval in the lecadence
Of the once powerful politician Of Dakota,
For, many years Jnd LaMoure probably welded
as much power as any citizen within the borders OF
the state. His council in matters of state was
sought; he was one of the Old members of The Senate
who had much 10 do with the shaping of affairs, but
he served his time and disappeared from the political
arena. Gradually he is being forgotten. Now he re-.
tires from business, and 1t is but a short time tiE
he passes on with the great majority, and his name
will remain only in history.

The LARGEST Fam Income

This is not only a billon.dollar country. but q ten
billion one. The cost drumming the government Is
only 10 per cent of the money the farmers receive
for the products of the farm and range, including
fruit, live stocL, poultry, eggs and butter. The figures
for the total have not yet heen made by the depart.
ment of agriculture, hut IL has issued what 1t calls
its final estimate of staple crops, including such
cereals. as wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn, buckwheat,
fax-seed and rice, and such other general crops as
sweet potatoes, potatoes, hay, sugar beets, tobacco
and cotton. This leaves out a large number Of mis-
cel!aneous crops running into the millions in value,
as well as fruit and garden truck. It also omits the
value" or i've stock marketed, OF butter and milk, OF
poultry and eggs, amounting in the total to more than
half the farmers income. AS the crops enumerated
total in value $4,540.30l, 900, it is evident that when
the grand total of. farm revenue is figured up for the
year 1913 it will exceed ten billion dollars, the largest
sum ever received in one year by the farmers of the
United States.
These are the figures received by the actual pro-
ducers, at first hand, and not those paid later by
consumers. What CONSUMERS pay for these products
is so much more that to give them would not seem
to be. talking on the same subject at all. The total
increase over last year. is approximately 5000, OO,ONo,

South, is worth more than last year by $17,620,O90,

1t must not be assumed, however, that these in
creased values mean increased prosperity to all farm.
ers. Those who lost corn, oats and hay and are
being compelled to buy at high prices or sell their
stock, are not sharing SO much in the profits as their
fellowfarmers who were so fortunate as to raise
good crops, or to have such a diversity of crops that
loss of corn, oats or hay was compensated for by
gain on other things. Nevertheless, with: a majority
of farmers in the country receiving more for their
crops than last year, with live stock still high, and
with a grand total of actual value on the farm of all
products seeral millions higher than ever before,
there is no foundation for any stagnation or business
depression that comes from that source. Whatever
there is we must look to Washington for responsible

An Unfortunate Prophet

The fifth of the minor prophets in the English
version of the Scriptures was the most unfortunate
of the lot. We know no why it is, but Jonah has
attracted more popular, attention than any other of
the Old Testament worthless. Although his name
has become a synonym for hoodoo, implying an under.
current of belief in the most striking part of his.
story, no fish story from the beginning Of time has
caused such controversy. At one time there seemed
to be a disposition to hang all the law and the
prophets on the, literal truth of the story of the whale,
or the great fish the Lord prepared" But Of late
years there has been a tendency among liberal theo-
logians who still profess orthodoxy to throw Jonah
overheard again, probably out of fear that he night
cause a wreck of the theological craft. In their view
the book of Jonah was a mere %allegory, written to
prove Yaweh's interest in heathens and the possibil.
ity of their salvation.
Against this view the literalists urge the fact that
it was a real city, whose destruction was prevented
by his belated preaching, that the city from which
he took passage was a real city and that he was
bound for another. Tie fact that Jesus twice alluded
to Jonah, once declaring that Nineveh had repented
at J0nah's preaching and again comparing his own
approaching burial to Jonah's %sojourn in the whale
is made much Of. The advocates Of the allegory
theory insist that Jesus merely made use of a popu,.
lar story, even as a modern preacher might refer to
a novel. Whether his hearers looked upon the story
: as true or as an allegory might affect this explana-
ton, although there are some rationalists who de-
clare that Jesus did not attempt to remove a current
belief in demoniacal possession, although he knew it
was erroneous. The Jonah myth was harmless com.
pared to such belief. Others assert that the com
parisonof the burial of Jesus to Jonah's experience
must be an Interpolation, since Jesus did not remain
in the tomb three days and three nights.
Jonah was exceedingly cast down when Nineveh
was saved. He felt that his reputation as a prophet
was ruined. He went out to the east side of town
and sat down in the shadow of a booth to see what
should happen and ne complained bitterly to. the
Lord. The beautiful lesson of the withered gourd
vine may have impressed him, although even to this
day a prophet of dire disaster sometimes seems
more concerned about the fulfllment of his predic-
tions than about the veal of the community. But
little did he dream that posterity would ignore the
Nineveh incident entirely and attack his veracity on
a different score. No question arose at the time as
to the truth of his story of the whale and he did
not fortify it even with the testimony of Eskimos.
He lived in an unskeptical1 age and it was well for
his peace of mind that his prophetic gem did not
embrace all the future.

WORKING Girls and M0rQlilu

In contrast with the wave of hysteria that swept
the country a few months ago, during the inquiry
into the wages paid girls in the stores of the various
cities, is the sane statement of Miss Lois Cornforth,
investigator for the board of public welfare at Kan
ss City. that morality should not figure in the de-
mand for wages. She says that when the demand
has such basis it casts unfounded reflections on
working girls. She gives it as her conclusion that
wages count little in the morals of girls who work.
her Investigations showing that not onetenth of the
girls who get into trouble are working girls or were
working girls at the time their delinquency began.
Recent Investigations of cases Of delinquency
among women in Chicago support Miss Cornforth's
conclusions. The gathering Of statistics on the sub
ject is attended with difficulties, for tine delinquent
naturally seeks to deal as leniently with herself as
possible. But even when the statements Of delin-
quents are accepted without investigation Of ante.
cedents, the percentage of immortality traceable to
lack of a living wage is extremely small. Love Of
fnery and rich living is a far more prolific cause OF
immortality. Hasty and early marriages. With speedy
separations, have made the descent easy and swift
to many young women. The number of girls who
have gone to the cities from villages and rural com.
munities to hide their disgrace and save their par
ents from embarrassment must be large. The cities
have this supply added to their own normal produc.
ton of erring girls, probably larger because of the
opportunities Ill tHe CITY 10 cluQe the vigilance OF
parents and %neighbors. ,'
The question of wages is economic and the as
sumption that a low wage to girls implies immortality
is a gross injustice to thousands of working girls of
spotless character. Two reasons for low wages are
specifically obvious: Many girls, work for pin money
and live at home, while many others are not efficient.
The suggestion of a minimum wage by statutory
cOmpulslon offers no panacea, aside from the legal
difficulties. The inefficient employees would not be
paid more than their services are really worth, If
they were it would be tantamount to compelling EN-.
ployers to contribute charity to employees. A partial
solution would be the increasing of efficiency among
employees and such a REIMBURSEMENT as would better
distribute the wageworkers. Some pursuits are
crowded while others clamor for workers. The sta.
tistics of Chicago delinquents showed the greatest
number, even twenty times that of former clerks.
had formerly been domestic servants. The domestic
servant is sure of a living, but the life is not at.
t~ractive. For this fact there is a division of respon-
sibility between employer and employee, and the fnan-
cial aspect of it is the least significant. All the com.
plexities Of human nature enter into the problem.
1t cannot be solved by passing a law.
