What Constitutes
Insulting the Flag?


Our difficulties with Mexico started
over an insult to our flag and the re-
fusal of Huerta to salute, the flag
when requested to do so by the presi-
dent Of the United States The Ameri-
can people widely differ as to whether
we should have let pass unnoticed the
insult to our flag by the MeXicans or
whether we should send our soldiers
and sailors into Mexico to enforce
the demand to salute the flag, thereby
risking the lives and health of thous-
ands Of Americans, some of them per-
Iaps the only support of dependent
ones at home. ... a.
Another justification advanced by
many is that a large amount of capi-
tai of Americans is invested in mines,
oil wells and timber tracts through
Mexico and these should be protected.
We believe the majority of newspa-
per readers prefer that bloodshed be
avoided and if capital has made in
vestment in foreign country and the
government of that country is unable
to protect the foreign investor it
should be charged up to the capi-
only by dollars and cents.
Many insults to the flag by So
called American citizens go by unno-
ticed, such as using the stars and
stripes for advertising or money max
ing schemes. In this regard legisla-
tion to preserve the flag from desecra-
tion, mutilation or improper use has
been passed by thirty one states and

Washington, May "a watchfuI
eye on mediation continued to be the
attitude of the Washington govern
ment in the Mexican situation. The
president left the White House early
for a ride and recreation after en-
couraging reports of preliminary
peace negotiations had been received
from the American commissioners at
Niagara Falls evidencing no anxiety
over the military situation. Secretary
Garrison has gone to Atlantic City
for a few days rest.
Bryan was relieved over the safe ar
rival of American Vice Counsel SilIi-
man at Mexico City. He received
dispatches from the Brazilian minister
in the Mexican capitol stating that
Silliman is in good health, and that
he will remain at the Brazilian lcga-
tion until Monday before proceeding
to Vera Cruz.
Representatives of the Mexican con-
stitutionalists resumed their confer
ences over the somewhat uncertain
mediation situation as concerning
their interests. They expected to hear
from General Carranza and also
call from Jose Vasconcelos on his way
here from New York. VasconceIos,
who has been mentioned as the prob
able agent OF constitutionalists, has
announced he received no instructions
of such nature and that he is COM
ing here for a conference with the
representatives Of his chief.

Reported depredations by bandits on
a German colony near Miramar caus-
ed the German cruiser Nuremberg to

Englishman, F. Green, was murdered
by bandit near San Marcos. Several
Americans reside in that vicinity.

TRIED TO KIDNAP
POLICE OFFICER

John Lyngstad came near kid
naping one of the officers of the Far
go police force yesterday, and got
good start out of the. city with him
before he was headed off. 1t happened
thusly:
Lyngstad had been partaking rather
freely OF something with kick to it,
and was driving up North Broadway
with his buggy and driving span,
seemingly with little regard as to
whether he was in the road or out Of
it.
Officer John Konen spied him, and
placed him under arrest, getting in the
buggy with him for the ride to the
station. Lyngstad probably thought
Konen looked strong enough to put in
some husky licks with hay fork on
the farm, so he licked up the team
and went up North Broadway, trying
to slice a few seconds off all existing
race track records.
Konen couldn't very well handle the
team and Lyngstad too, so they con
tinued on their mad flight clear out TO
the fair grounds. where the team was
headed off and stopped by an auto-
mobile which had followed them.
Lyngstad appeared before Judge
Miller later, and paid $40 for his run.
The judge told him he had mind to
place the charge of Kidnapping against
him.

LETTERS TO GUNNEN FOUND

New York, May 23.-The only con-
ference for Becker, convicted yester-
day for the second time for the mur-
der of Herman Rosenthal was with
his counsel, Martin Manton and Mrs.
Becker. The basis for an appeal from
the verdict was the subject under dis
cussion. at the conference.
Becker spent a quiet night, ate
hearty breakfast and then read all the
newspaper accounts of his conviction.
The district attorney, Whitman re-
ceived the following letter from Mayor
Mitchell: Il have just heard of the
outcome Of the Becker case. The
whole community is under obligation
to you. Your work has been splen-
did"
District Attorney Whitman, it was
learned, will submit to handwriting
experts a number of letters which he
believes were written by Becker to
the condemned gunmen, during their
stay in the Sing Sing death house.
Letters turned over to the prosecutor
by the wife of Lefty Louie" Rosen-
berg after her husbands death.
They passed from Becker to the
gunmen, it is believed, between the
leaves of books from the prison lib
rary which were permitted to circulate
among the prisoners condemned To
death.
Although written in disguised
Handwriting, the district attorney be-
lieves they came from Becker Whit
man is holding them in reserve for an
opportunity to use them as evidence
against Becker in the latters efforts
to obtain reversal Of judgement from
the court Of appeals.

b, In order to show proper respect for
the flag we should urge upon every
citizen of this country to refuse to

In a recent number Of the Philli-
stine, Elbert Hubbard in his unique

Salute to the Flag.

Symbol of human liberty,
Inspirer in battle,
Guardian of our homes, .,.: q
Whose stars and stripes .s. g.
Stand for courage, purity and union,
We salute thee!
We, the children of many lands,
Who find rest and safety
Under thy folds,
Give our hands, our heads ...
And our hearts to thee;
We pledge our lives
And sacred honor
To guard and revere thee
And our beloved country, forever.

OUT o..
POLITICS

Oyster Bay, May 2S.-"Im trying to
keep out of politics as much as possi-
BILE Just now," said Colonel Roosevelt.
He made the remark in all seriousness.
notwithstanding the fact that ever
since his return from South America
he has been seeing political associates
at the rate cf dozen a day.
The colonel made the statement in
response to question about the or
ganization work of the progressive
party during the last year, asking his
opinion regarding proposals for it's
amalgamation with the republican
I arty. He declined to express any
views upon these subjects.
Just at present the colonel said, he
is busy with preparations for a new
book. That will. take up his spare time
until his return from Spain, which will
be July 4.

May PURE
FOOD BULLETIN

The Pure Food Bulletin for May,
just issued by Professor Ladd, con-
tains an article on macaroni and
noodles, pointing out that many of the
noodles now on the market, supposed
to contain eggs. are really only colored
with coal tar dyes and that no eggs
are present. No wonder the article
is not more popular. Hereafter egg
noodles for North Dakota will have to
contain not less than two eggs for
each pound Of flour.
It is shown that there is a growing
demand for Durum to be used not only
for milling purposes, but for the manu-
facture of macaroni, spaghetti,
noodles, vermicelli, etc.
Another article deals with the color
of -four made from the various types
of wheat. and contains much interest
ing information for millers and others.
The question Of frauds in sausage
and how they manage to sell water at
Is cents per pound, forms an interest
ing topic. When you can work off
from twenty to thirty pounds of Red
river water with every 100 pounds of
sausage for Is cents or more per
pound, with q little cereal thrown in,
there is no wonder that complaint is
sometimes made that the sausages are
not gO0Q eatlnS. ......s.E
Commissioner Ladd punctures an
other Of the hog cholera cures in this
bulletin, several having been previous
ly exposed in other bulletins.
1t is also shown that the asafoetida
now purchased at the drugstores is
largely adulterated, and that very
many of the camphor liniments are
only from one-half to two-thirds
strength.
BouiIlon cubes have come to be a
popular article in many places of late,
and it is pointed out that these pre-
parations are often far from what they
are represented to be. They contain
more plant extract than meat extract,
a large proportion Of salt, and in food
value do not begin to compare with
home -made broth and are really very
expensive.
1t would seem from this bulletin
that flax allowed to remain unthreshed
during the winter does not have the
seed, or oil produced from the seed, in
jured to the extent that has often
been claimed; in fact, the poorest seed
was the best and all showed up better
than the average Oil on the market.
The article ON cigarette smoking
shows to what extent the young are
injured by the continuous smoking of
cigarettes, as is all too prevalent at
the present time. DIR. Andrew White,
ex- president of Cornell university, is
quoted as saying that he never knew
a student to smoke cigarettes who did
not disappoint expectations, or, in
other words, kinder peter out"

ITALIAN
STUDENT
GUILTY

Florence. Italy, May 23.--Pietrs
Rossi, a Fl"rentine art student, was
arrested and confessed that he shot
and robbed Mrs. Mary Flavelle OF
Chicago, Thursday, aboard a train be-
tween Florence and Assist. Rossi said:
Il am a student at the Social
Science institute here and am "a
years old.
Il had gambled away almost all the
money 1 possessed and had started on
my way home to Monte Pulciano in
order to inform my family of my pre-
aicament. On the train. however, T
saw an old lady who apparently alrea-
dy had one foot in the grave and to
whom wealth could not mean much.
"The sight of the we'll dressed wom-
an tempted me and l attacked her. I
would not have tried to kill her If she
had not screamed when ] grasped her
valise. l then lost reason and fired"
The condition of Mrs. Flavelle is inn
proved and physicians stated she may
survive If her constitution is strong
enough to enable her to recuperate
after the great loss Of blood.

.BIVIN RELATES
HIS EXPERIENCE

DR.. Bivin Of Fargo college entertain
ed the students this morning by de-
scribing the construction of work
that few people have ever seen.
A tunnel fifteen feet in diameter
connecting a pumping station on the
shore of Lake Erie with a crib five
miles out IS unique affair. 1t is used
population with pure water.
DR.. BiVin, wishing to learn of the
nature of this deep waterway, gained
permission from the contractor to
work one week in the underground
diggings as mule-driver. This morn
ing he went back over his thrilling eX-
periences, telling the students of the
methods of sustaining life amid the
dangers of dampness, and gases, and
Of the peculiar disease known as
bands" with which he was afflicted.
An interesting part Of the talk was
that describing the airlock, a boiler
like contrivance through which men
must pass in order to accustom them
selves to the high pressure air which
Is pumped In. The unusual pressure
on the outside so exceeds that within
the nose, that considerable discomfort
is experienced until the air in the in
ner passages has been adjusted.
Dr. Bivin told Of the many dangers
of the work. He had only quit the
work for a short time when all his
comrades but one were killed in a ter
rible gas explosion.
The talk was most instructive, and
il interested the students very much,
as, although many know of this Won
derful well, few have ever seen it, as
the law forbids any but workers to
descend
Where rr. Bivin left his autograph
at that time, vast volumes of water
are now rushing through to supply the
reople OF Cleveland with better drink
ing water.

OKLAHOMA HAS
BANNER CROP

Oklahoma City. May 23.-Fifteen
thousand additional hands will be
needed in Oklahoma to harvest the
1914 wheat crop, according to State
Labor Commissioner Daugherty. The
commissioner estimates the crop at
4000OOO0 bushels, the largest the state
ever produced. Harvesting begins in
the southern part Of the state the first
week in June and continues thirty
DAYS.
