Says War Saves Democrats.

THE people elect one party to Con-
gress and shortly after the body gets
started they want to elect another
party. If it hadn't been for the pres
ent war in Europe the republicans
would be elected at the November cleo
lions. The war came just in time to
save the democratic party and the peo-
pie know it isn't wise to change the
parties in such critical period.
1.-The present Congress has turned down
offers of efficiency and economy. The
business men do not like it. l have in
terviewed lot of congressman and l have
found them a pretty poor lot. Congress
Is not doing all it could for the business
interests"
All during the speech the president de-
livcred his remarks directly at the Secre-
tary of Commerce, who still remained on
the platform When the president sat
down. amid applause, the Secretary again
arose.

Montgomery Makes Reply.

1T am not so sure about what the
Secretary said Of the economy Of Con-
gress," said President Montgomery, in
replying to the Secretary's address.
THE public accountants are in a pc
culiar position to find out what the
leaders In business think. We get the
real feelings that the. lawyers and
competitors of big firms do not get.
They tell US, because they think that
If they don't we will find 1t out any
way.
THE business men are In touch with
affairs. They read the newspapers,
the proceedings of Congress, the de-
bates on the floors of both houses, and
in the committees, and they know pref
ty we'll where an ADDITIONAL $4,000. 900
a year goes. They know whether it
goes into pork barrel, or whether 1t
represents wise expenditures. We read
of what Congress does and how it
spends money. You can't make the
business man see why there should be
bill to raise an extra s100,000,000
tax while the pork barrel bill! Is still
under discussion,

Plunges Into Politics.

Then the Secretary stepped into the
line as u campaign orator.
II am amused greatly by the discus
sions in the public prints and other
wise Of the extravaganza of political
parties. I want to say that it Is not so
much the amount that is spent as the
way it is spent. 1 do not think that
the American people care whether the
expenses of running the government
are many millions more one year than
they were in the preceding year. But
1 do think they care how the money is
spent Either party or Congress may
have spent more money economically
than it's predecessor. There is meat for
calmness and clearness.'

Dissenting, President Mont

Only War Saves Democrats.
CRITICISES PORK BARREL
AND PRESENT CONGRESS
Cabinet Member, in Reply. Defends
Appropriation Measures Which
Are Pending.

Campaign thoughts handed out by
Secretary Redfield of the Department
of Commerce in efforts to justify In
creased expenditures by the demo-
cratic Congress, a challenge to the
Secretary's deductions by President
Robert II. Montgomery. president of
the association, and a little ten-min-
ute rebuttal by the cabinet officer, in
which he sought to meet the presi-
dents challenge, made things very in
teresting at the morning session of the
tenth annual convention of the Ameri-
can Association of Public Accountants,
at the New Willard Hotel.
The Secretary led up gradually to
his subject by telling of the inaccu-
racies and bias in many lines of en-
deavor, patted the public accountants
on the back, telling them that theirs
was the only profession where absolute
accuracy must be followed, and eX-
planned the absolute futility of Amer: :
can business men attempting to profit
fl ON the present European conflict by
stepping into Latin-America and grab

Way to Disaster, He Says.

"All some people think it necessary
to do is to go down there and pick up
the business" said the Secretary
"Above all, that is the nearest and
quickest way to commercial disaster
for the business of this country. 1t is
very dangerous. These countries are
more interested in placing their own
products than they are in buying
products from the United States. for
which they have not money to pay.
Latin America needs more now than
commercial travellers. 1t needs credit
and the machine for handling this
credit. They haven't the machinery of
commerce developed yet. The first
thing in Latin America is the spirit of
service. We have got to serve in order
to get the commerce. The French, the
British and the Germans have served
Latin America. They gave money,
brains and influence. That's what the
United States will have to do before It
can get the Latin American trade

The corner stone of the new COM
munity church of Ryder was laid Sun
day with appropriate and impressive
ceremony. A large number of mem
bers and friends of the church were
present, though undoubtedly the rain
kept some away. A very impressive
sermon was delivered by Rev. Rich
mond of Minot, his subject being "The
Church as 1t Should Be-" He empha-
sized the fact that more can be ac-
complished by prayer than the world
knows of, and that a powerful church
must be a praying church. Gov. Han
ma delivered an address full of en-
couragement and inspiration. A tin
box was placed within the stone con-
|ta;ning names and facts Of interest
Ito later generations. The exercises
closed with the laying Of the corner
stone by Governor Hanna. When
completed the church will be one in
which every citizen of the town can
take just pride.

every three years during this period.
Starting then with lumber at $1,000

If the increase in the cost Of lum-

EARLY BALES IN IOWA

One hundred and eighty years ago
white men and Indians fought bat.
tie in the heart of the Iowa country.
At this time the French controlled all
of Canada and the greater part Of the
Mississippi valley. For many years
they had been at war with the Fox
Indians and had finally subdued them.
But in 1873 the Sacs, who had hither-
to been friendly toward the French.
confederated themselves with the
Foxes, and thus a formidable enemy
again appeared Accordingly, in Aug
ust, 1874, party of Frenchmen, with
a considerable number Of Indian allies,
set out from Montreal on a long ex.
petition against the Sacs and Foxes,
hoping to either induce the Sacs to
withdraw from The confederation or
destroy both tribes. The French ey-
pected to find their enemies located
in eastern Iowa along the Wap
sipincon river. but when thew reach
ed that point after wearisome march
IN m1d-winter they discovered that the
Indians had taken up their abode
alons the Des Moines river. Hitler
the French followed them and a bat
tie was fought not far from the site
of the presen. city of Des Mofnes In
which it is difficult to say which
party was victorious. The French
however were forced to retire with
