A news despatch from Helena, Montana, quoted Secretary Nc
Adoo as saying, I'VE have not had any real prosperity in the United
States for ten years" This is evidently an error in transmission
Assuming the Secretary to have been trying to tell the truth, he
must have said "two years" instead of "ten years., as is reported.

enormous amount of money in boosting the state by getting out

what asses they were making of themselves, and how sadly they

This is North Dakota Appreciation Week. For the first time a
effort has been made to bring to the attention Of our
own people as well as those in other parts Of the country, an appre-
citation of the resources and opportunities of this great state, and
it is great, and destined to become greater.
Before we can convince others of the greatness of North Dakota
we must ourselves realize its greatness, hence the effort within
our borders. Before others will realize the greatness of this state,
they must be told of its advantages and attractions, hence the
special editions of our North Dakota papers and the farmers tes-
timonial letters, and the letters by us we North Dakotans generally
to friends in other parts of the country. Study North Dakota;
her attractions and opportunities and resources as well worth your
time and thought. Convince yourself Of her greatness, then tell
others. Each of us is a factor in the upbuilding of North Dakota,
therefore each must do his or her part.
Week movement, and we are proud that we are a member of the
organization which initiated it. The North Dakota Press Asso-
citation is not alone for the benefit of the editors of the State, for in
carrying forward this movement, it has shown that it has the
welfare of all at heart.
North Dakota Appreciation Week should become an annual fea-
ture of North Dakota Life. We should all know our State bet
ter and we will all benefit by bringing in many more of the right
kind of citizens to enjoy our advantages, which can best be done by
letting others know her true resources and opportunities.
North Dakota will do her part if we will do ours.
If the American producer and the foreign producer should both
be assured that free trade would be the permanent policy OF the
United States, one of two things would happen-either the Aneri-
can would come very close to the foreign standard of wages and iv-
ing, or he would cease to produce articles which can be produced by
that free trade is only a temporary policy and that within a very
markets. Hence, the American producer does not give up his in
dustries nor does the foreigner make the large investments that
would necessary to supply our markets fully. We merely curtail
our expenses, cut out luXuries, live economically, maintain bread
lines and take advantage of the partial relief afforded by foreign
war.

nounced that he will be a candidate for Governor as a Radical
Republican on the Dollar platform. Well, we do not know just
what this little mite means by the dollar platform, but from
what we can learn about him we have no doubt but what if there
is a dollar in sight, whether it be on the platform or under it, he
will be able to ferrit it out. During the past few years he has be-
come more or less (mostly less) prominent by starting a string Of
small papers in the western part of the state, and we are informed
that after he got them going he formed a corporation for some
thing like 100000, putting these papers which are worth possibly
$4,000, into the corporation and he is busy selling stock in this
concern: Between selling this stool, to suckers, and running on
primaries, and then he will probably get a little time to reflect, as

Uncle ike Stephenson, of Wisconsin, who has been a member
of the United States Senate is about to retire to private life, and
as a closing chapter to his public career he has written a book of
"reminiscences, the trend of which is to show up the rottenness of
LaFolette and his political organization. He shows that he was
called upon regularly to put up large amounts of money to aid in
at giving any more, LaFollette and his followers sought to ruin
Mr.. LaFilette up in his true light, and that he is not the great and
good refo11ner he would lead you to believe. Already doughty Bob
has broken into print trying to explain and calling on Stephenson
for more specific details and asks him to itemize. For many years
many people have doubted the sincerity of LaFolette, and now
have all he can do to try and shift the blame, without running for
President.
