BREAKS FORTH IN SONG.

John Van Arnam, editor Of TIL
Kindred Tribune. was so delighted
with the treatment accorded the press
boys at Valley City that he broke forth
into poetry to express his feelings and
this is what he sang:
Where the picturesque Sheyennt
river
Winds its labrynthal way,
There's a beauteous little city,
Where they're always blithe and
gay.

OF gigantic oaks and elms,
And when visitors arrive there
It's glad welcome near Ger.

They extended to the Press Gang,
invitations from their heart,
And when the feats were over
Guests were loathing to depart.
Oh they Toasted and they praised US
And put out the welcome hand;
Autos whirled us round thee ity
To the music of the band.
We held the business meetings.
In the bran new city hall.
And we Toasted in the Normal
Where Mcfarland welcomed all.
White presided at the banquet;
Concord praised the N. D. press;
The mayor whooped for Valley City;
Bob Hughes ripped his Dress Suit

Deepest gratitude We'll share.
Yes, they filled us on chicken
Finest creams and dainties too:
Whilst the Rudolph and the "Adolph'

The County Fair Association
Sent us passes, one and all.
There exhibits of all classes,
Not surpassed on this old ball.
The Chautauqua grounds were open
And we went there in a bunch
Where exemplifed perfection

They have taken gifts of Nature
And created peerless art.

And the city's fame will grow.
Our poor talent ,acl1s the power
To describe this time Ne had
But we had it-yes we had it
And the gang Is Inighty glad.

She's the peer-the peerless one
And we shout for Valley City
Till our final page is run.

BRYAN
TALKS ON
TREATY

Washington, July IA. - Secretary
defending the proposed treaty to set
tie differences between the United
States and Colombia over the separa-
ton of Panama. The treaty has met
vigorous opposition in the senate, and
former President Roosevelt has at
tackled it as a vehicle for the payment
of "blackmail."
Mr.. Bryan declared that 1t was
necessary to discuss only the fact that
an estrangement exists, and not the
events which gave rise to the diff
~ferences; and that regardless of
whether Colombia has a just griev-
ance against her more powerful neigh
Dor, no one would deny that the form
er country sustained great financial
loss, considerably more than the $25,-
000, 900 which the United States would
pay under the treaty, through the
separation of Panama. AS to the ex-
preston of regret on the part of the
American government, to which op-
ponents Of the pending convention Of
fer their bitterest objection, the secre-
tary said this was also identical with
a similar expression in the Dubois
memorandum on the basis of which the
Taft administration unsuccessfully
sought to placate Colombia.
The statement in full follows:
GAS a terms of the Colombian treaty
have been published and it is now be-
fore the senate ratification, the fol-
lowing statement nay assist the pub
lie to form an opinion upon the merits
Of the question:
THE present administration found
an estrangement existing between the
United States and Colombia, an
estrangement that has continued for
nearly thirteen years. AS the normal
relation between nations Is one for
friendship, it Is desirable that diff
.ferences shall be. adjusted and cordial
relations resumed. 1t is not necessary
to discuss the events which gave rise
to this estrangement, because it does
not matter which party was at
fault. The estrangement exists,
and this is the fact that must be dealt
with.
Colombia has all along insisted
upon arbitration. II this nation were
willing to a~rbitrate. it, would not be
necessary to discuss terms of settle
ment because in he. case of arbitra-
ton the parties accept the finding of
the arbitrator and settle their differ
ences according to the terms prescrib-
ed. 1t Is not the policy of nations,
however, to settle by arbitration ques-
tions like those arising between the
United States and Colombia, and as
arbitration is not resorted to, the set
Element must be made by direct nego-

FARM WORK FOR coNvIcTs.

Governor Major OF the state of
Missouri has a plan to put the con-
,viets at the state penitentiary to work
on a 1000 acre farm. This idea has
been tried out in a modified form in
North Dakota and it will appeal to a
great many people who are willing to
admit that the problem of convict
labor Is a difficult one to solve.
The commonest complaint against
convict labor is to the effect that when
the incarcerated men are put to work
in manufacturing plants, or turned
over to contractors who are engaged
in factory work, injury is done to the
free citizen who depends upon the
same general class of work for his
livelihood. And there doesn't seem
any very satisfactory way Of answer
ing this argument.
But the man who makes two blades
Of grass grow where only one grew
before"-who. in general terms, makes
productive a piece Of ground not al
ready productive, is clearly a benefac-
tor to the race. There is always room
for n more in the realm of agrtcul-
ture. So evenly are the balances
maintained throughout the world that
there Is always a demand for all the
that can be produced; If not
within any given year, then within d
period Of years.
Aside from the economic benefits of
the idea, it is probable that there are
many in the pe%nitentiaries who would
feel a little better for the knowledse
that they were contributing something
to the welfare of mankind.

TUESDAY, JULY IA. 1914.
r WILL DO lT.

Fargo can n will do It,"
That is the new slogan adopted by
the boosters of this city. 1t was the
slogan that put across" the recent
Fargo college campaign, and it is now
the cry adopted to make a success of
the armory = auditorium campaign,
which was formally launched Ast
night.
There is a reaso for the optimistic
ring back of this new slogan. The
men and women who are doing such
big things for the city are sur Of
/ success because there is not a note of
discord within their ranks or, for that
matter. without the ranks. The citi-
zens Of the city are working together
as they never have worked before. Ev-
erywhere there is harmony Of thought
and Of action.
1t is true that Fargo has been free
from bitter factional discord, such as
holds back many communities. at least
in recent years. But even in Fargo
there have been discordant elements.
The Fargo college crisis, however,
brought the citizenship Of the city to-
gether as one man. When the men
and women of the city got working
together in a common cause, old diff
ferences melted away. 1t was found
THAT the other fellow was a pretty
kgood sort after all, in fact men who
khave been at outs for years found that
lit was all largely a matter of misun-
Hderstanding, n there was no real
;cause for continued disagreement.
And today, hundreds of citizens took
off their coats, both literally and fig
uratively, n buckled into the job of
lgetting funds to complete the splen-
did armorv-auditorium.
This new building is an immense
structure. 1t will be flrerroof through
out. will seat several thousand people
comfortably, and when it is finished
as Fargo is going to finish it, will be
the pride Of the gateway city.
As Father Egan and Judge Pollock
stated last evening, the city needs this
great building for many reasons, and
when it is completed Fargo will have
a meeting place for great conventions,
that will be second to none in the
northwest and will be one Of the city's
greatest assets.

Auuitania's Ruddar

Exchange: A rudder with a door
way into the interior Ia a striking
feature. of a Cunard giant liner which
has recently been launched. The
rudder is so large that a doorway has
been constructed in the lower part to
admit workmen so that they can re-
move the pin which connects the rud-
der to the ship. This pin is four feet
in length. and bigger than the heaviest
projectile made for modern artillery.
A special appliance had to be con-
structed in the ship to lift it into posi-
ton. When delivered at the builders
yard the rudder was In three parts. At
ter they had been connected and laid

to be walked to pass around It was

THE WHEAT CROP.

Each month the government crop
report confirms the wonderful wheat
crop Of 1914 says The Minneapolis
Tribune.
"A most important part of it is still
unmatured in the northwest, but The
time limit is closing up and winter
wheat-655, 00o,0 900 bushels of it's al
ready secured.
From the standpoint of the inter
national market the estimated domes-
tic production to exceed 900, 600, 900
bushels has had a somewhat demon
alizing effect. European statistics and
new crop prospects have made a very
bullish situation, Speculation for the
rise has been quite marked, but the
large United States surplus indicated
and the radical decline in this country
lhas permitted importers to secure mil
mions of bushels to offset the present
and prospective shortage to the ex-
tent, at least, Of checking greater in
'flation abroad.
$50 large a proportion of our wheat
has been contracted for to meet the
European situation that it has also, to
a degree, acted as a partial check on
domestic prices. Until the Canadian
crop is available the United States
win dominate the international mar
tket, as the outlook in eastern Europa
as unsatisfactory, which, in addition
ito the Argentine and Indian shortag-
!es, makes the importing countries de-
Ependable on this country for the bulk
'of their supplies.
THE last few years have been
marked by an apparent increase in
tEuropean wheat consumption. and, of
course, u own domestic REQUIRE
1nents continue to enlarge. Last years
record crop Of $780, 900 has been so
broadly distributed that the visible
supply is down to 10, 200, 900 bushels,
Worlds stocks of wheat in sight are
only 100000, 900 bushels, which is 81
100000 bushels less than a year ago.
TIE statistics covering June consume
tion for the world showed q. reduction
i'm supplies of 37,OS1,O 10 bushels, the
largest in years, and a most excep-
tional monthly shrinkage. With the
large export sales from this side for
shipment the next three or four
months the pressure from the market
ing Of the new crop will be largely if
NOT fully Offset, and as the domestic
market is still at a stiff discount rela-
tive to Liverpool. this foreign demand
should continue.
THE speculative market has been
somewhat disturbed the last week by
the less favorable general reports COW
ering the spring wheat prospect in the
northwest. Some damage has resulted
from black rust and in the low spots
from excessive moisture. The impair
ment appears to be confined to a small
area, but as this is the critical period
for spring wheat the market will be
subjected to disturbances until the
crop is beyond all possibility of dan
ger. The futures are In a position to
respond to builish news with any en-
enlargement as prices are low, the
huge 1914 maximum promise fairly
well discounted and the spring wheat

THE CHANGING PICTURE.

How softly fall the memory lights
On pictures of the past,
AS still and sultry grow the nights
That shade the glare at last,
When lk a furnace breath so hot
The breezes ebb and flow,
You think about the cherished spot
Where once you shoveled snow.
The eager tingle of the blast
No more seems harsh and rude,
The sky with clouds all overcast
Seems gentle and subdued:
ON, how we walled the bitter lot
That faced us months q
And now how lovely seems the spot
Where once we shoveled snow.

acquiescence in the power of might,
even if Colombia, under protest and
against the judgment of her people, &C
copied a less sum than that which we
offer, it would not restore the relations
that ought to exist. We must satisfy
their n of justice, although a less
sum might satisfy our sense of justice.
In every settlement tire must be con-
cessions. and our government has not
conceded more than the requirements
of the situation demand.
"The ratification Of the Colombian
treaty will restore the friendly rela-
tions which for a century preceding
1908 existed between Colombia and the
United States. 1t will also enable
Colombia and Panama to settle their
differences and deal with each other
upon a n%eighborly basis. More han
that, it will give prestige to the United
States throughout Spanish America.
This nationa can afford to be just;
even more, it can afford to be gener-
Gus in the settling of disputes, espe-
cially when by it's generosity it can
increase the friendliness of the many
millions Of Central and South America
with whom our relations become daily
more intimate"
