BUY At HOME CAMPAIGN.

One of the problems that confront
North Dakota communities is the mat
ter of supporting home institutions;
that is, the matter Of buying at home
and so building up the home merchant
and store keeper and through him, the
home community. The Grand Forks
Commercial Club has given this prob
lem study and has held meetings In
connection with this work. At re-
cent lecture, the problem Of home
support was pretty clearly outlined
along the following lines. The speak
er said:
"The financial life of the small town,
Or Of the large town for that matter,
is dependent on the patronage &C.
corded the local business houses, the
stores.
''The life Of all other kinds, the very
life of tho community itself, is depend
-ent on the financial life Everything
hinges on the business secured by the
local retailers. Manufacturing enter
prises are not numerous in the small
town to keep money circulating and
to provide occupation for the inhabi-
tants. The money is brought into the
place by the farmers and obtained by
through the sale of the products Of
their farms. II the farmers were to
cease to patronize the home stores, the
home stores would cease to exist be-
cause the village patronage would not
support them. In fact, there would
soon be no village patronage.
"The general public Of the home
town often take the attitude that they
are under no obligations to buy at
home. The farmers reason that they
get their money from outside. and
they can spend It where they like.
Legally any one can spend his money
where he prefers, but nevertheless
there is an obligation to spend 1t at
home. We all want the home town to
continue Its existence. We all want
it to prosper in such ways as Will oner
better service and greater accommoda'
ton. an dmore pleasure.
"All Of these things which We want
the home town to provide cost money
and labor The money an dthe labor
are to large extent supplied by the
people who have things to sell and by
those who are directly or indirectly
dependent on them. We want oul
churches and our schools supported
and we expect the local business PEG
pie to help generously in their sup
port for our benefit. Then isn't II
up to us to help make it possible FOL
the business men to furnish that sup
port? There is a large element o.
reciprocity in the matter of loca
trading.
Of course all the work Of a CONNER
cial club along the lines Of developing
the trade of the town has its influence
in getting people interested In home
business. Anything that brings thu
farmers and the local retail merchant!
closer together helps to keep trade a
home. and hence the study Of the ways
of increasing the friendly feeling be
tween farmer and merchant is i'm
portant"

TAXING GASOLINE.

The following from the Minneapolis
Journal is rather pointed objection
to further taxing the farmer.
After many trials the Democratic
leaders in Congress have settled upon
an emergency tax bill that may 30
through. The stamp taxes will doubt
less be borne, despite the vexation
they involve, without much objection.
Similarly the special taxes laid on
bankers, brokers. tobacco dealers and
purveyors Of amusement generally will
be accepted by their victims with what
grace they may be able to assume,
though many department. of the
amusement business are far from
prosperous, and though the brokers
have for some time been travelling q
rocky road. .....
The one item Of the bill, however,
that will b most unpopular Is the tax
Ct two cents 4 gallon on gasoline. The
theory Of this tax 10 that the con-
sumption Of gasoline il luxury and
therefore 4 proper source Of taxation.
It is singular perversion which
leads the Democratic leaders to look
- gasoline AZ a luxury and whiskey
a. 4 necessity. Whisky bag been rig
itay guarded from any extra tax all
through the eager Democratic search.
NE distillers have been powerful
enough to prevent the placing OF any
extra burden on their product, and the
Ways and Means Committee-of which
eur own Mr.. Hammond Is a member
has consistently protected whisky.
Gasoline is far more a necessity In
these days than a luxury. 1t it true
that much Of it is consumed in the
pursuit of pleasure, and to that extent
it is 4 luxury. But on the other hand
it drives innumerable engines that are
doing valuable work for US. More and
more are motor cars used for light de-
livery and other business purposes.
The motor truck Is used everywhere
and for all sorts of business. The
tractor is doing all manner Of farm
work. The stationary motor is pump
ing and churning and chopping and
saving and washing and doing mul,
titude of other services for manufac-
turing and farming.
The Democratic proposal to tax ev'
cry gallon of gasoline will prove nc
more popular than its other schemes
like the freight tax, which it has been
obliged to abandon.
I If whisky is sacredly inviolable, why
does not the majority in Congress add
new economies to that in the river and
harbor pork bill to which it was forced
by the Republican filibuster in the
Senate?

TAINTED MONEY.

Carnegie and the Rockefellers came
If for scathing denunciations during
the discussion Of the agricultural bill
in the senate on Tuesday. The man
ner in which their money was &C
cumulated and the use of it to exploit
themselves at the expense of the
American people were condemned in
unmeasured terms.
The subject under discussion was an
amendment 10 the agricultural bill
prohibiting the use of contributed
funds for demonstration work. for
which purpose one of the Rockefeller
institutions is said to be paying part
of the salaries of government en-
ployes The sentiment of those men,
bers of the senate who expressed
themselves was that instead of approx
ing the methods employed by these
men in accommodating their fortunes by
accepting their money congress should
pass resolutions condemning them in
the strongest terms.
The incident suggests the POSSIBLE
ity OF a man being ostracised on ac-
count OF his wealth. The accumula-
ton OF large fortunes by means Of
monopoly. repression and oppression
is growing decidedly unpopular in the
U7ited States and this growth of dis
favor is accented by the realization
that the money thus obtained is being
used 10 gatrOnlze the nation. In con-
sequence Of this feeling the Carnegie
library system is growing distasteful
and the various foundations organized
by the Rockefellers are creating a sim.
liar sentiment. The American people
are averse to accepting benefits or
favors at the hands Of these mOnopO-
listic robbers.
The speeches in the senate referred
10 reflect this sentiment. If the people
resent the presumption OF the Car
negies and Rockefellers certainly the
government cannot tolerate it. Let
these men who build fortunes on the
misfortunes OF others keep their
money and make more with it, IL their
acquisitiveness has not been satiated.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

political motive is behind her visit,
just as they insisted that no financial
motive is behind it. The lecturer who
appears dimly in the middle distance
of the royal encourage would seem to
have credentials of no definite value.
The queen wants TO see our country as
an intelligent traveller and our hos
pitfalls as an expert nurse.
That seems fair enough. Is her
coming in such capacity itself an Of
Tense? In truth. all she needs to do
in any event is to present herself. The
American press and public, interested
in it's first queen, will see to the rest.
Everything she wants said will get
said; every point she wants made will
get made-prObably by a preferred
indirection. Our Greek press should
recognize these facts. If il is at a dis
advantage, that is all the more reason
why it should be discreet.-Chicago

BEAUTIFYING WASHINGTON.

Millions in Washington city seem to
be like thousands elsewhere. The
buildings constructed by the govern
ment are among the finest in the
world. There is no handsomer struc-
ture of its kind than the capitol The
library OF congress is confessedly un-
rivaled by any like building in the
world.
The plan for the treatment of the
monument grounds between the CAPT
tol and the Potomac is the most SUI
perb plan any city has ever known
and at last it is being carried out I'm
accordance with the original unrivaled
design.
Among the newer enterprises of the
Capitol city is the chamber of com
merce Many regret sincerely that
Washington is ambitious to be bust
ness town. but with the vast invest
ment in various kinds of property in
the city. there is naturally a desire to
have something going or in the fac
tory line when the congressional mill
is not running and the feeling tends
to stimulate advertisement Of the ia
cilities of Washington for trade, COM
merce an manufacturers
It is a splendid showing that the
chamber Of commerce makes in an
illustrated handbook lately issued and,
assuming that it is legitimate for the
capital to have a chamber of com
merce and to push wit all its might
for business. nothing bur cOngratula-

GROUND FOR A SCRAP.

We like the job that young Vincent
Aston and a bunch of civic federation
uplifters have outlined-to make a
national survey of these crimes of
greed and then try to draft a set of
model laws aimed at their correction
Massing the information will do
something. A model law will do
something. And every little helps.
But it isn't so much a question of
getting laws as of getting men and
v omen wise and wrothy.
Since Doc Wiley left the watch
tower. the food dOpers have flourished
They aren't as scared as they were,
and we suspect that the prosecutors
aren't as busy.
So we're for anything which will
revive the lighting edge. High prices
are tough enough when what we buy
isn't loaded; TO be poisoned into the
bargain makes ground for a scrap!

sELFTsHNEss AND DIVORCE.

Here is a situation which shows that
selfshness is stronger than natural
affection and that once man or a
woman gets the divorce bug no human
consideration will be permitted TO
stand in the way.
Mrs. Condit. wife Of a wealthy Chi
cago real estate dealer secured a di-
vorce from her husband. They have
one child, a girl of thirteen. and by
agreement the court. instead of award
ing the custody of the daughter to the
father or the mother. because when
asked which she would prefer to live
with said both. arranged a schedule
dividing her time between them.
When the offspring of this disaffect-
ed pair refused to choose between
them it was pretty conclusive evidence
that she loved them both equally and
if she could have her way would keep
them together, but the bitterness in
their hearts steeled them against the
appeal in their child's reply. In this
selfshness they chose to sacrifice the
girls wishes and cast a shadow on her
life. There may be some excuse for
childless husbands and wives separat-
ing, but after they become parents,
after they have assumed the RESPONSE
bility of bringing a child into the world
it is then their duty to forget them
selves and make any sacrifice neces-
sary to the protection and proper de-
vclOpment OF their offspring.

THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY.

St Joseph county will vote May p

Lincoln highway. The improvement,
IL voted. will extend from the coun-
~ limits on the east % the county
limits on the west. and the road will
De paved with concrete.
This improvement. if made, viii be
a part of a national highway extend
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and dedicated to the memory Of
Abr 4ham Lincoln. Thus it has a
double appeal 10 the people OF the
United States. especially those Of the
sections along the route, the economic
and the sentimental Either Of these
should be sufficient to insure a IA
vorable vote in every county through
which the road Will pass.
The stimulating influence OF the
Lincoln highway once IT is built or
even after construction has begun
will be incalcUiable. II will furnish
an example and a basis for lateral
roads which will cover the county
and solve our local transportation
problems Within a few years after
the highway is completed St. Joseph
county should be relieved Of the
stigma which now attaches TO it Of
having among the poorest roads of
the state.
For these reasons every farmer in
the county should vote in favor of
improving the Lincoln highway.
While all may not see a direct bene-
Mt for themselves because they do not
live on or near the route the indirect
benefits must be apparent TO all. The
Lincoln highway is the beginning Of
a great national revival in road i'm

The factory processes to be shown
on a small scale should be Of special
interest TO all visitors. The almost
complete elimination OF the human
element in the preparation OF foods
for the market is one of the marvels

food products are not touched by hu-

manufacture. This insures freedom
from infection and gives added assur-
ance that the products are clean.

from a bOugh that hangs far out over

The robin comes at dawn and wakes
And gladdens all the world with song;
High on the cherry tree he tunes
His voice TO many a WinSOme lay
Or in the long, sweet afternoons
Till sunset sings his soul away
Best bird and wise, no idle praise
Nor foolish blame disturbs his breast;
Content, he weaves divinest lays
Or tolls at humble loves behest.
We crown him laureate of our woods
And welcome his returning wings,
And dream OF joys beatitudes
Whene'er the vernal robin sings.
