Thousands of Americans have
returned and are returning from
Europe with grateful praise for
the prompt and energetic efforts
of the State Department of their
government to afford them relief
in time of great emergency. Every
European nation at war has CON-
mited to the State Department of
this government the care of their
interests in the enemies country.
In face of these facts the New
York Press has the effrontery and
unscrupulousness to publish this
sneering paragraph: under Sec
rotary Bryan the State Depart
ment is not taken seriously by the
American people. II it is Joke for
them. could it be anything better
for foreign governments and peo-
Dles?" There is limit to which
decent people will make allowan-
ces for the zeal of partisansh
and the Pros reaches it in this
silly. malicious and wilfully false
statement. 1t is cheap and nasty
journalism that befouls its own
government for the satisfaction
of partisan spite.

withheld the American flag from

ships that had taken out foreign

was American shipping discour-

to q paltry nine per cent.

August Schneider. who died very
suddenly in st. Mary's hospital,
Minneapolis. October 2. as the re-
suit of an operation the previous
week. was born in Westpreisen,
Germany, Oct. 10. 1913. He serv-
ed three years in the German navy
and was in two wars. He came to

against Fort Henry and Fort DON
aldson in February. 1862. and the
following winter was active in
Mississippi.
In. more modern wars winter
has not caused a cessation of hos
tilities. but it has diminished op-
erations. The japanese advance
on Mukden in 1904 was halted
about'the first of September by
severe cold. Neither army was
prepared to withstand winter. so
for month the fighting forces
lay inactive almost within strik-
ing distance. A few engagements
were fought in October. then OBJ
erations practically halted until
Feb. 10. when the Japanese crmy

an agent in charge of the national

ways Secretary McAdoo has given
evidence of his intention and abil-

whole nation rather than a group
Of financiers. But in no instance
has this been more strikingly
shown than in his prompt and eff
fective action to stop the hoard
ing Of money. denying of reason

tionate rates of interest on the
part Of bankers. The bright light
of publicity thrown upon the ex-
cessive reserves. of the offending
banks by the fearless and able
man at the head of the treasury
department has had prompt eff
kers inclined to take advar."~e of
existing circumstances clear re-
allZaClOn OF tne TACT tnat tne OLD
days of private exploitation of
public funds are past. 1t has
shown the general public that
there is no justification for a
tight" money market. and it has
demonstrated to the business
world that the government will
not countenance it's oppression
by any financial interest. Furth-
ermore. it is one more proof of
the necessity for and wisdom of
the new Federal reserve banking
and currency system. Within a
few weeks now that system will
be in operation and the further
monopolization of money and
credit in the United States will be
impossible.

FOR AMERICAN SHIPS

President Wilson has made it
clear that he favors the establish
ment of a government owned mer-
chant marine not merely as an
emergency policy but as a per-
manent undertaking. in order that
commercial relations may be
maintained with foreign countries
including the South American re-
States has Inadequate avenues of
trade. We venture the prediction
that this policy. new and drastic
as it may appear to the ultra
conservative. will meet with the
approval of the country at large.

making and certainly not of our
desire. nevertheless opens oppor-
tunities which it would be GRIM

4 DENIAL WHICH coMvlcrs

A recent editorial dealing with
the failure of State Treasurer Oh
son to publish the late quarterly
reports of the state treasury,
caused a Bismarck dispatch to be
sent to the Fargo press: The dis
patch is. in part. as follows:
Treasurer Olson declares that
he has complied with the law in
every respect. but that it now
transpires that the copy of the
report which he mailed to the Bis
marck Tribune for publication
never reached that office but got
lost somehow. This is now being
remedied. He admits that i'm the
press of business he had over
looked the filing of the last report
with the governors office. but that
this too is now being attended to.
There is no suspicion of any ir-
treasurer's office and it is the
capital that this matter is being
enlarged upon for campaign pur-
poses by the democrats Of the
state"
Mr.. Olson declares that he has
complied with the law in every re-
spect EXCEPT that the April 1st
report has never been received. by
the Bismarck Tribune and con-
seGuently never published. also,
EXCEPT that the last report.
naIlely the July 1st report, was
not filed with the governor and,
we might add. has never been pub
lished.
In other words Treasurer Oh
son pleads guilty to the exact
charges which the Journals edi-
torial made against him.
Going further into the matter
we call attention to the fact that
at the present time the law has
been violated by our state treas
urer and that the violation is
known to the governor of the state
by OlSOn's admission that the last
report was not filed with the gov
ernor. thereby giving due notice
to l.. b. Hanna that his state
treasurer has failed to do his du-
ty: that Governor Hanna. who pO-
ses as a deciple of the business
administrations is apparently ig-
norant of one Of the most iEpor-
tant matters connected with his
office. i:e;. the condition 3f the
urer's office. or else Hanna is Il
party with Olson to conceal the
present overdrawn condition of
state funds from the people of
North Dakota till after the No
vember election.
1t will be we'll for the people OF
the state to remember that North
Dakota has recently gone through
disgraceful scandal in conuec-
ti"n with the office of the state
treasurer. The present law re-
auiring the publication of tile
condition of state funds. namiug
the time of such publication. and
fixing a penalty of removal from
office for failure To make such
publication. is meant to prevent
lust such a scandal as has occur

ated and whether they are being
