COLGATE ELEVATOR BURNED

Colgate, N. D., Nov. 23.-The Farm.
ers' elevator burned here this morning,
in fire the origin of which is un.
known. In addition to the building
10000 bushels of grain was also de.
stroyed, all having been fully covered
by insurance. ,vsa.
The fire was first discovered at
about o'clock and had then gained
such Roadway that it was impossible
with the means at hand to save the
building and call was sent in for the
fire departments of Page and Hope,
both of which responded and assisted
materially in preventing the fire from
spreading to other buildings. For a
time there was danger of the entire
town being destroyed, the elevator
having been situated on the railroad
right-of-way on the main street Of the
town. .>
1t is understood from Manager E. F..
Curtis of the elevator that the build
ing will not be rebuilt owing to the
fact that there are three other eleva-
tors here. If the farmers organization
opens up another elevator one of these
will be purchased.

Serious Charge
Made \ By Lind

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 23.-That
Henry Lane Wilson, American ambas
sador to Mexico from 1909 to 1913, had
fOreknowledge Of the assassination Of
President Francisco Madero, Feb. %
1913. was asserted Friday night by
John Lind, in an address delivered al
the North Methodist Episcopal church
Mr.. Lind said Huerta was the author
OF the plot to remove the executive
head by the perturbed republic. The
speech by Mr. Lind was not announc'
ed and the substance of his remarks
did not become public until related
last night by persons who attended
the meeting.
Coming from the man who went to
Mexico in August, 1918, as the envoy
and personal representative of Presi.
dent Woodrow Wilson, the statement
is of more than passing interest.
Somewhat different versions of the
phraseology used by Mr.. Lind come
from those who heard him. Lafayette
F. Cole, editor of the Minneapolis
Chronicle, a longestablished weekly
devoted to the affairs of the North
side, was present. Mr.. Cole said the
Importance Of the utterance struck
him at once. For this reason, he
said, he took careful notes.
He quotes Mr.. Lind as saying:
"Madero was murdered by Huerta
with the knowledge and consent of
Henry Lane Wilson, United States am
bassador."
Answering an inquiry made by the
Journal, Mr.. Lind said he used the
word "assassinated" instead of "mur-
dered" and that he did not employ the
word consent" as understood by Mr..
Cole. He frankly admitted the use Of
knowledge" as applied to Ambassa-
dor Wilson.
Mr.. Lind declined last night to elab-
crate on his church statement.
1T is not opportune to discuss the
affair now," he said. Later l may
make a more detailed statement and
submit documents to substantiate
what said Friday evening. was
not speaking for publication at that
time and much prefer to add nothing
now"

tration have been far more numerous
and satisfactory than those settled by
war. Arbitration should be first re-
sort and war the last.
Il never have been able to see
through Roosevelt's idea of national
or personal honor. All honor's wounds
are self inflicted. Our flag cannot be
dishonored except by American people
and fighting for national honor does
not remove one stain from its folds !"
Professor Wemett felt that the
money that was spent on preparation
for war should be spent for the pre-.
vention Of disease and for the relief
of want and distress. Our money
should be spent for CONSTITUTIONAL and
not destructional purposes" continued
the speaker. "The cost Of one battle
ship will cover the cost Of all school
books used in this country for year.
1t costs as much to fire one big gun
once as normal school teacher can
earn in four years. Our real enemy is
within our gates and not across the
seas.
Il believe in patriotism Of kind,
but not the kind that asks a man to
die for his country. believe in the
patriotism that asks man to live for
his country-to live a good, clean, up
right Christian life for it. We are not
Americans alone, but citizens Of the
world, and we cannot abolish war If
we set ourselves up against other
nations. Above every nation is hui.
mainly and above humanity is right"
An interesting, discussion followed
Professor Wemett's address, and while
some Of his listeners did not agree en-
tirely with his views. the points that
were brought out In the discussion
proved very interesting.
The club held a brief business ses-
sion and elected Major n. F. Steele to
membership.

WOULD FORM AN I
AMERICAN UNION

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 23.-Establish-
ment of federation of the Fl Ameri-
can republics to stand back of the
Monroe doctrine was advocated in a
speech here last night by Joseph w.
Folk, chief counsel of the Interstate
commerce commission. Such a step,
he said would set precedent for the
formation Of European federation
and pave the way for ultimate world
peace and disarmament. Mr.. Folk
declared there should be adequate
preparedness in the United States,
not only to repel foreign invasion,
but to deal with domestic enemies
who subyert the functions of govern
ment to their private greed.

The Best Equity Speaker
at the Big Celebration

The big Equity Grain Growers con-
vention management at st. Paul is
making every effort to obtain the very
best speaking talent there is in the
country and especially in Montana, be-
cause large delegation is expected
from that state to the convention. It
Is the sense of the management to
have Montana satisfied and pleased
over the results of the program. I'M
view Of this fact R. T. Cokingham, a
we'll known figure in the Equity move
ment as we'll as in church circles, has
agreed to take part in all three days
Of the big meet Mr.. Cokingham be-
ing state organizer in Montana, has
a full and complete knowledge of the
essential elements of the Equity bene-
fits and progress. He knows the
theory of the movement and is next to
all of the tricks of the business from
the chamber of commerce standpoint.
He knows why the farmer needs the
Equity and the Equity needs the farm
er. .,...
Mr.. Cokingham is very forceful
and eloquent speaker and pounds his
ideas and convictions home with the
energy and courage of martyr. You
will want to hear what Mr.. Cokingham
has to say to the immense delegation
at the st. Paul convention. Better
commence now to prepare to attend.
Remember that at this time the first
ground for the erection of the Equitys
10000 bushel terminal elevator will
be turned under the proper ceremon-
les and you ought to be there to take
part in this at least. Here is the
greatest wedge the Equity movement
can drive in to kill the grain octopus
of the west. The convention manage
ment has adopted the slogan, "Vic-
tory" which reminds US that they
have won a great victory over the
enemy and now are about to celebrate
that victory with logic, sense and
brass bands.

Prof. Welnet Speaker
Before Fargo Club

Fargo, Nov. Members of the
Commons club listened to a very in.
teresting talk on National prepared.
ness" by Prof. w. M. Wemett, of the
Valley City Normal school, at the close
of their regular bi-monthly dinner last
evening at the Commercial club rooms.
Mr.. Wemett was decidedly opposed
to preparedness as a prevention of
war and outlined few of his ideas on
the subject, which he stated he did
not ask or expect his listeners to agree
with on all points.
ut is fallacy that war springs
from hatred" said the speaker. 1T
is manufactured by the people who are
most interested and who will be the
most benefited by war. The men who
are interested in the big war supply
factories in England and other coun-
tries are also members of parliament
and the governing bodies of the coun-
tries in which they reside-and they
are the ones that are most deeply in.
terested in advocating war.
Il do not believe that the extending
of territory makes nation prosper.
GUS. Per capita taxes are smaller in
the small countries than they are in
the larger ones. England is a great
country and her territories are many,
but England today has the largest pro-
portion Of tramps Of any nation on
earth. We people in the United States
! do not know a. b. 6. ABOUT taxation.
People Of the European countries pay
from ~ cents to SO cents taxes on the
dollar.
I'VE like to believe that war settles
. dispute, but it does not-in only post
pones that dispute to the next genera
ton. Nations in the future genera
tions want to regain lost territory and
20 it goes on through the ages. War
Is the father Of variance has gone
backward and forward from monarchy
to republic seven times. Italy spent
three times as much to regain Tripoli
Is 1t was worth and had England spent
half as. much in making the Beers
happy and contented as they did In
war they would be better of today"
Mr.. Wemett cited the war of 1872
and the civil war in our own country
and stated that he did not feel we had
gained anything by those wars. What
we were supposed to have gained In
the war of 1872 was gained four years
after the war was over, by arbitra-
ton. In the case Of the civil war he
felt that while we had freed the slave
We did 80 at q terrible loss Of life and
the negro question was BY no means
settled in this country yet.
Il do not believe in immediate abo-
lition Of the army and navy, said
Professor Wemett, but to gradually
do away with them. The questions
settled for the United States BY arbi.
