The announcement Of the Presi-
dents purpose to consult with re-
publicans regarding his plan for ma
tional defense indicates a change in
his attitude almost as great as that
shown by his shift on the question of
military preparedness. 1t is only ten
months ago that Mr.. Wilson went to
indianapolis and made his jackson
Day speech. His utterances then dem
onstrated his opinion that the repub-
lican party merited no consideration
whatever in national affairs. He de-
clared the party to be a covert and
refuge for those who are afraid"
is that why he is now turning to the
republican party? Is he afraid that
his belated conversation to prepared
ness cannot be imposed upon the
party in congress and is he therefore
turning to the republican party as "a
covert and a refuge"
At indianapolis, last Jonuary, Pres
ident Wilson assured a partisan meet
ing which he there addressed that
"this country is not going to use any
party that cannot do continuous and
consistent team work" The democratic
party is showing that it cannot do
this. Bryan, Kitchin, Bailey, Fitz-
gerald and others, on one subject or
another, are at odds with the Presi-
dent. Though commanding a majority
in both House and Senate, the Pres
ident cannot bring his party to work
with him on the vital question of ma
tional defense. Continuous and con-
sistent team work" is no longer a
democratic Characteristic, and this
country is not going to use that party
any more.
1t is rumored that the White House
has picked the democratic candidates
for New Jersey next year. A Mr.
Katzenback is to run for Senator and
a certain Judge Haight for governor.
This is certainly kind of Mr.. Wilson
to relieve his party Of all trouble in
the matter of nominations-but sup
pose his party should insist on making
the nominations for ITSELF

Elephants had but to pay railroad fare
to Minot, Bismark or Plaza, where
the land Offices are located. There
they could register free of charge and
wait for the drawing. In addition to
railroad fare, they lost whatever their
time was worth. In some cases, this
was several weeks. The losers are
worse off as a result than if they had
been allowed to play the Louisiana
lottery
The worst feature Of it all is that
the proceeding was unnecessary.
There is much more than enough un-
used land in the United States to fur
nish better homcsteads to all who
want them than is in this reservation.
But the United States Government
and all the state governments insist
on encouraging the owners Of unused
land to keep on holding it out of use.
Then, having done so much to render
the people landless, the government
offers them a gamblers chance at
more than an ordinary gambling risk
to acquire "a home. To call such a
policy discrcditable is to state the case
mildly.-SaIina Union.

SETTING EXAMPLE
Democratic National Administration
Teaches Business Dishonesty by
Its fragrant Abuse of Book
keeping Rules

In the past month the government
has had a number of young business
men arrested for the crime of obtain
ing credit through classifying their
accounts by transferring items in
their liability account over to their
assets, thus showing solvent con-
dition when in reality they were in
solvent. These men as defense have
called attention to the fact that they
are only doing in their private af-
fairs what Secretary McAdoo of the
treasury department and son-in-law of
the president has done in the nations
business affairs and with the sanction
of the president. On September 80
were closed with a balance of ap-
proximately forty million dollars,
showing an alarming decline of forty
five millions since the beginning of
the fiscal year on July l. Next morn =
ing though, on October l, the books
were opened showing favorable bal
ance of Sl28,OOO, 900. This was ac-
complished by the simple device of
taking items which had for years
been carried in the liabilities and
amounting to over forty millions out
of that column and placing them in
the assets. Secretary McAdoo calls
this a judicious change in improving
the departments bookkeeping, but
they are arresting the poor young
men who attempted to improve their
bookkeeping methods in the same way.
That dishonesty doesn't pay is being
demonstrated to the administration
now, for this forced balance is dis
appearing so rapidly now that it is
almost down to the September 20
figures again, and Mr.. McAdoo now
has to resort to the disagreeabie ne
cessity of withdrawing some of the
funds he so generously presented free
Of interest charges to his southern
banking friends.

Enterprise Not Checked

President Wilson is so accustomed
to dealing in vague rhetoric in dis
cussion of domestic affairs, avoiding
all concrete illustrations, that his po-
litical opponents have been at some
thing of a disadvantage. 1t is diff
cult to answer a prose poem with
tables of statistics. But by inadver-
tence, the president occasionally makes
a specific statement. In speech some
time ago he said: For twenty years
enterprise in this country has been
checked" The Globe-Democrat at the
time mustered an array of outstand-
ing facts in refutation of the asser-
ton. Now comes Jonathan Bourne,
who specializes on such subjects, with
a formidable showing of figures CLEAN
ed from statistical abstract prepared
under direction of that world famed
champion of efficiency, William C..
Redfield, secretary of commerce.
Mr.. Bourne shows by these figures
that in 1895 we had a population of
twenty-three to the square mile, while
in 1914 it had increased to thirty
three. The national wealth in 1915
was silly per capita, while in 1912
it was S1965. During the same per-
iod the national debt decreased from
s13 per capita to S1O.41, although we
had in the meanwhile fought the
Spanish-American war and built the
Panama canal. The per capita of
money in circulation increased from
1924 in 1895 to $34.35 in 1914. The
clearings grew from fifty-one billions
in 1895 to one hundred and sixty-four
billions in 1914, over 200 per cent
increase, although the population in
creased but AZ per cent. The individ-
ual deposits in national banks, saw
ings banks, trust companies and pri-
waite banks increased during the same
period $50 per cent.
The annual per capita exports of
merchandise more than doubled, the
total wheat crop practically doubled
the cotton production more than doub-
led, coal production trebled, pig-iron
production more than doubled and the
sugar production trebled. During the
same nineteen years the annual rail-

Country Saved

At last our people with great
sigh of relief feel assured that the
country is no longer in danger-at
least for a short breathing spell. No
longer will the citizens go about their
daily vocatious with bated breath fear
full that the government will not last
the day out; no longer will they lie
awake nights oppressed with terror
lest the country go to the demnition
bow-wows while they sleep. Eddie
Kcating is back in Washington ready
to assume the guidance Of the gov
eminent, while our president, bowed
down by great cares, goes counting.

Getting Wise

Henry Ford, who at first thought he
could get a lot Of free advertising out
of taking a menagerie Of freaks over
to Europe to talk peace, is beginning
now to soberly consider the question
and ponder over what may happen to
him when he puts them on exhibit
over there. Consequently he has now
decided not to land but to have them
talk to foreign statesmen by wire
less. With that ship having Bonnie
Lindsey, Helen Ring Robinson and
Jane Adams all on board wandering
around over seas, the German sub
marines have a wonderful opportunity
to prove they are really worth while
and that Germany is truly our friend.

Discredited

The Underwood law was discredited
in peace, and war has changed the
situation of commerce and business.
fhe end of the military struggle will
still further alter our circumstances.
Already the lessons are written for
those with sufficient wit to learn them.
The menace of an industrial struggle
of unprecedented intensity is over
our manufacturers and merchants,
their workers and all who are depend
ent on them. Has Mr.. Wilson recog-
nized it, or is he blind to the danger
on the one hand and insensible to the
wonderful opportunity on the other:
b With tariff adjusted to its needs
and its situation, with schedules de-
signed TO meet the facts of business,
and not the economics of the hastings,
the United States can regard with
confidence the assaults industrial
Europe will launch when it stops kill
ing its men; but with the Underwood
law in force, this nation will be at
the mercy of the most skillful and
desperate competitors the world has
ever known.-New York Sun.

Imprisonment is the legal penalty
for conducting a lottery however fair
" it may be managed. An individual
would soon find himself in trouble
who would announce a grand drawing
for 700 prizes, tickets one dollar each,
10000 tickets to be sold. Such an act
is supposed to be harmful to those
engaging therein, and this harm is
further supposed to more than coun-
terbalance whatever benefit the prize
winners may obtain.
This being the case, what excuse is
there for the United States Govern
ment conducting a lottery! O No
vember 4, a drawing was held IN
North Dakota at which 700 prizes
were distributed to as many more or
less lucky winners. There wcre D.

IT REFLECTS SEVERAL REFLEC.
TIONS
Chiefly that the Country Must Get
Back to Sound Basis Through
Protection

"Duty-free imports comprise TIC
per cent of the total imports for
September, 1915, and 81 per cent of
those of September, 1914. Their in
creased percentage this year reflects
the marked growth in imports of
factory materials, mostly ON the free
list.'-Athens (TennD Athenian.
This is quoted from the advance
statement Of our September trade,
issued by the Department Of Com
merce.
A great many other things are re
fected in that paragraph. Il also
reflects the marked growth in i'm
ports of meat and dairy products,
farm products generally fish, etc,
which are coming in free of duty. But
it does not reflect any decrease in the
cost of living. The reason why the
average rate of duty on all imports
for the past year hovers between II
and ~ per cent is reflected therein.
which, in turn, reflects the reason
why the administration would like to
fitch republican plumage and restore
sugar wool and other articles TO re-
publican rates, with the declaration
that it is primarily for revenue,
with incidental protection" and this
sudden conversion reflects the APP
proach Of a campaign year 1t re-
fleets so much that it gives a good
cause for reflection, and that is OK
actly what the American people arc
doing today. The result Of that re-
Election will find Uncle Sam in 1917,
ready for the gong to sound which
announces the beginning OF the bat
tie royal for commercial supremacy
that is scheduled to take place with
the cessation of war. IL means the
return of the Federal government to
a sound business basis, and that means
the restoration Of the republicans to
power. You can't stop EN-!
Duty-free goods continue to pour in
to this country. The value Of imports
for the week ending October 9, 1915,
at the thirteen principal customs dis
tricts of the United States was S32,-
364 $50, on which duty was collected
to the amount Of S3,691,113, or an
average ad valorem Of ia per cent,
compared with the annual average ad
valorem of 17.6 per cent for the fiscal
year of 1913, under the republican
tariff law, a law which gave ade-
quate protection TO American indus
tries and labor, and handed the demo-
cratic party a handsome treasury sur
plus with which to begin business.
Democratic inefiiciency and extrava-
gance have changed that surplus into
large deficit. Foreign producers
are reaping the benefits of a Free
Trade tariff law, and Secretary Nc
Adoo is at his wits end to devise
methods Of patching up the leaks in
the treasury reservoir. Meanwhile the
cost Of living does not decrease, a.
was promised by the democrats.
