The PUBLIC CONVENIENCE.

That the Wilmington Chamber of
Commerce is exerting every eHort 70
build I'D trade relations between the
people of this community and their city
has been demonstrated in new way,
The Milford Chronicle Office has received
and now has on file a copy Of the VIII
mington City Directory and Business
Gazetteer for 1914, which was sent with
the compliments of the Chamber OF
Commerce. This valuable business rel
erence will be the permanent property
of this office and can be consulted oy
the public at any time:
The officers Of the Chamber OF Com,
rnerce report that they have received
manifold assurances that the people IN
this section would trade with Whining
ton more. that is, would be in position
both to sell more to Wilmington and BUY
more there. if they were better ac-
0uainted with the Wilmington business
houses While trade excursions ana
other functions have assisted IN the
noovement of having the business men
meet each other. still no complete method
has been vet devised that gives assur-
arca that the people in different towns
i,nop ali the Wilmington dealers in par
tic,,Iar lines with whom they might es-
tablish both buying and selling relations IONS
It is to bridge this gap that the VII
mington Chamber of Commerce mas sent
out a large number of their CITY ulrec-
tories to nearby towns. Ihls direcIory
is now in this office and can be consulted
bv anv one who desires information
about business men in Wilmington. Inc
distribution of these handy business rel
erence books is calculated to promo!e
the work the Chamber Of Commerce Is
engaged in because it will enable tne
local business men to find out lmmedl-
atelv what Wilmington firms handle the
articles they wish to sell or purchase.

CHEERING TO DEMOCRATS

The day after election exuber-
ance of our Republican friends
has become trifle subdued since
the complete returns show not on
ly an adequate Democratic major
ity returned to the next House but
an actual increase in the Demo-
cratic majority in the Senate. 1t
does not now look much like a
"repudiation of the administra-
tion-not when every Democratic
Senatorial candidate secures re-
election and the Republicans lose
three or more Senate seats they
already had.
Furthermore. the Democrats
carried states for Senator or Gov
ernOr whose aggregate electoral
vote is 3O7. while the states the
Republicans carried have only
220 electoral votes. On this basis
had President Wilson been run
ming for a second term. he would
have been reelected by a majority
Of 81 electoral votes. Certainly, II
the Republicans are content with
their showing in the late election.
the Democrats have no reason to
complain. The results fOreshadow
Democratic victory in the Presi-
Dental election two years hence.

themselves red in the face over

LOTS Of IMMIoRAwrs SOON

There is every indication that
at the close of the European war
many thousands of people from
the afflicted countries there will
come to America to make their
future homes. The people of those
countries now realize as never
before the advantages of living in
a country that is free from mill
tarism and where thousands are
not cOnscripted to serve in the
army in times of peace.
Many thousands of those for
eigners have already declared
their intention to emigrate to AM
erica as soon as the war in Eur
ope is over, and many thousands
more will come with them. They
must have homes here. when they
come. and North Dakota has the
unoccupied lands where they can
get homes and pay for them in
time. if given the opportunity:
What we need in this state is lore
farmers. and some provision
should be made for supplying
these industrious poor peop.>
with cheap land and long time
payments. to give them chance
to pay for their homes here when
they do come.

near future from Holland and

A POTATO ARGUMENT

Last Saturdays Grand Forks
Herald copied approvlngly from
the Cavalier County Republican
the story of a farmer near the
border line who sold potatoes over
in Canada and had to pay 20 cents
a bushel duty on them. This duty.
that paper says, is due to the
Democratic administration. and
says mo WONDER ndeG the armers Of
ticket this year.
1t is bright mind that blames
the Democrats of the United
States for Canada's potato tariff.
and an intelligent Republican
must feel proud of his party if
that kind of a tariff argument
helped to elect Hanna this fall.
Yet it is Just as sensible an ar
gument as Helgeson and the Re-

a WORD TO DEMOCRATS

Democrats of Richland county
only. and every one of them
should read it and think it over.
The Times needs your support,
and if you think it worthy of it..
why not give. it your support and
help it to live? If you are owing
on your subscription. the editor
needs what you owe it. and why
not pay up? If you are not a sub
scriber. you ought to be one. This
paper fights the Democratic bat
ties for the party in this county.
it stands up for Democrats and
Democratic measures. but its ed
itOr must live as we'll as other
people. What are you doing to
help support him?
Nearly everybody agrees that
the Times is now one of the new
siest and best newspapers printed
in southeastern North Dakota,
and for that reason it is entitled
to your support. and indeed it
must have it in order to live. The
board of county commissioners is
Republican. and it gives the Re-
publican papers of the county all
the county printing. and the
Times gets absolutely none. This
official printing amounts to sew
eral hundreds of dollars every
year. but the Times has to live
without any of it.
This office is now equipped for
doing all kinds of Job work as
neatly as any office in the county
can do it. yet many Democrats in
private life and some of the can
didates even took all their
Job work to Republican Offices. Is
this fair? Is it right? With no
county patronage = whatever to
help support it. and with only a
small part of the patronage Of
Democrats in private life. how
long. can you expect to have
good Democratic paper at the
county seat?
Think this over and let us know
il our claims to your support are
not Just and right.

WANTS TO INVOLVE US

The British government seeks
redress primarily through the
United States for alleged VIOLA
tlons of neutrality by Ecuador
and Columbia. which countries, it
accuses Of allowing German war
ships the use of their wireless
systems.
If President Wilson should in
terfere in this delicate matter in
the name Of the Monroe doctrine
it would arouse indignation to-
ward us on the part of these two
countries. which are none too
friendly toward us nOw.,., and
Great Britain must be allowed to
pull its own chesnuts out of the
fire.
Even if Great Britain should 20
to the extreme of undertaking
military violation of the Monroe
doctrine to call for the interfer-
ence of our government and
Great Britain's delicate compli-
ment to the United. States in re-
ferring the matter to us must go
unheeded.
But Great Britain alleges that
the Galapagos Islands. which be-
long to Ecuador, are the chief Of
tenders against neutrality. and
because they lie So near the PAN
ANA canal they may also in time
become menace to the United
States. 1t therefore attempts to
suggest to US that we should own
these islands. But Uncle Sam has
too many islands already. and is
not looking for any more, at least
not under the present administra-
ton. ~

publican newspapers put up to
the voters of this county. when
they told them that the Democra-
tic administration is responsible
for the falling off of the revenues
from the countries engaged in the
European war. But the result Of
the vote in this county shows that
the Richland county farmers
can't be fooled by such silly ar
guments. and Mr.. Helgeson fail
But what . about Grand F. Forks td;;
it's readers that the Democrats of
this country have enacted a tax
on exports; and that it is the tar
if law of this country that makes
Americans pay duty on potatoes
they ship into Canada? Helgeson
and the Globe Gazette and the
Hankinson News can be excused
on the ground that they don't
konw any better. They may really
think that President Wilson and
the Democratic Congress of the
United States are responsible for
the European war. h''t the editor
of the Grand Forks Herald knows
better. and ought to be heartily
ashamed of himself. He kOnws
that the Canada potato tariff is
the work of Canadians and not of
the Democrats of the United
States.
In the next campaign the Re-
publican will probably charge the
Democrats with responsibility for
rust on wheat. and for the foot
and mouth disease that is now
affecting the cattle.
