A delightful informal dance was

Saturday evening. Towards the

served. All report a most enjoy
able evening.

the dim and distant future, when
North Dakota will rear its hall Of
fame to commemorate the deeds
of its great men and women, a
prominent niche will be reserved
for this noble woman.
1t is hard to determine whether
ones admiration goes out more
for her steadfast courage or her
brilliant intellect, her unbounded
sympathy for all mankind or her
true motherly instinct for those
that were near and dear to her.
She was so many-sided that all
who knew her found in her pres
ence inspiration and desire for
clear thinking. An indomitable
will caused her to search until
she arrived at the basic facts Of
the problem at hand.
Her philosophy Of life may,
perhaps, be summed up best in
the two words: True democracy.
She believed in equal opportuni-
ties for all people-meaning
thereby women as we'll as men,
and this end she thought could be
gained first of all through equal
suffrage. When this was attained,
then could we expect a real COM
eraderie between men and wo-
men. Then would follow that free
dom Of discussion which is the
prerequisite of any enlightened
society. Because of this attitude
OF mind she became a leader in
the community that now mourns
her loss, but that will not forget
the principles she stood for and
defended so valiantly. "She dared
to see life steadily and see it
whole"

the BASIS OF PROSPERITY

Even on the surface, the report
OF bank examiners on business
conditions is most encouraging.
But to get the full force of that
report, one must consider it i'm
relation to recent history.
A little over eight months ago.
half the world suddenly plunged
into war. Credit, as an internal
tional commodity, ceased to en-
list; foreign customers quit buy
ing; for weeks merchant shipping
almost vanished from the seas.
Securities, native and European.
were dumped in carloads on the
American market i'm wild scram-
BILE for gold. The whole CONNER
cial life of the nation stopped, as
a ship might stop on hitting a
continent.
And still there was no panic.
There was depression, which. ac-
cording to the bank examiners,
has pretty we'll disappeared; but
of panic such as that which
Roosevelt and Wall street con-
jured out of clear sky in a time
of profound peace in 1907 there
was not even trace. In 1907. ev-
cry bank in the United States sus-
pended cash payment. and resort
ed to cashiers checks. In 1919,
every bank stood fast. An on
slaught of disaster as crushing i'm
its way as the German attack on
Belgium was beaten at the very
border. when only seven years be-
fore purely artificial panic
swept from coast to coast.
The difference between 1907
and 1914 is due to two things. In
the earlier year, the president of
the United States was a recklessly
valiant Shouter, but a timid and
feeble doer, and currency system
OF the land-which that president
never tried to change-was anti
quated and absurd. In 1914, the
country had a man in the White
House whose brain and nerve are
unrivaled since the days Of Lin
coin: and-thanks to that man,
Woodrow Wilson-the currency
system of this country had been
remodeled and made equal to any
demands upon it.
There is the big fact that must
never be lost to sight. The United
States was saved from the most
crushing panic in it's history eight
months ago and is entering on a
period of high prosperity now be-
cause of the genius, the cautious
but unshrinking firmness of Pres
ident Wilson, and the loyalty with
which the democratic party has
supported it's great leader.
No president since Lincoln has
been confronted with such trials
none since Lincoln has rendered
such services. Every bank stand
ing firm in the world crash, every
factory reopening. every new din
ner pail carried to work is tri-
butte and a testimony to the
craftsmanship of Woodrow Will
son.-Devils Lake Journal.

A great and good woman has
passed from our midst. Not many,

her influence, direct and indirect,
upon the community, whose best

will be of an abiding nature. In

1t is just as unreasonable to
expect a German to sympathize
with the Allies in the war as it is
to expect an Englishman to SYM
pathize with the Germans i'm the
war. 1t is virtue in either of
them to prefer the fatherland to
any other foreign country what
soever. The only thing that con-
Germs America is, are you now an
American first? If you are, you
are just as good an American as
any other man alive. That's the
American idea, Democratic or
Republican alike.

WHICH MoRn 90 YOU rAkE7

The present European war has
exploded the Republican tariff
theory completely.
That theory is that tariff tax
OF embargo upon foreign made
goods shuts out a large part OF
them from this country and thus
increases the amount of work and
wages for our own working men.
That is, and always has been,
the stock argument for pro-
tective tariff. But how has it
worked?
AS result of the great war
now raging, practically no Euro
pean-made goods at all find their
way to America and our factories
have the whole home field to
themselves.
Therefore, according to the
protective tariff argument we
should have had the best times in
this country for the past nine
months we have ever had.
But instead Of American labor
being better employed and re-
Ceiving better wages than ever
before Republicans now tell us la
Dor is unemployed and that We
have been having hard times in
this country.
Therefore one thing is certain:
Either the Republicans are mis-
taken about there being hard
times in this country, or else the
keeping out of foreign made goods
does not benefit American labor.
Which horn of the dilemma
do the Republicans take?

BE AN AMERICAN FIRST

Ffesluent wilson IN his reply
to Germany's memorandum that
IF the American people desire to
observe true neutrality, they will
find means to stop the exclusive
importation Of arms to one side"
points out that ito place any en-
barge on arms during the prevail
ing war, would be direct viola
ton Of neutrality in the United
States. That is the doctrine
promulgated by President Wilson.
and confirms all the Times has
said on the subject.
And now comes the Bismarck
Tribune, the leading Republican
organ Of the state of North Da-
kota, and says:
"One Of our Dickinson readers
OF German birth misconstrues the
Tribune's attitude on the right of
this nation to supply ammunition
to belligerents. We assert that at
no time have we been unfair to
the German side Of the contro-
Versy. We admire the German
race for its valor and contribu-
tons to science, education and
progress too much for the Ameri-
can press to take sides.
1t is a time for everyone, wheth-
er OF English, French or German
extraction, who has sworn alleg-
lance to the stars and stripes, to
be an American first and a parti-
san second.
The Tribune has always honor
ed the Germans and will continue
to do so. 1t refuses to be drawn
into any controversy over the
war, but it reserves the right to
discuss aspects of the trouble
unhampered by any racial preju-
dice, for it has none as far as this
war is concerned"
Them's our sentiments" exact
~, and we commend the Tribune
for it's stand for patriotism.

CHAMBERS HAND
EXPOSED RY EQUITY

Fargo, N. D., April 81 The
Board of Directors of the Equity
Cooperative Exchange is in con-
ference here today reviewing the
ence filed with the court shows
Chamber of Commerce through
Attorney General Linde, in it's at
tempt to put the farmers selling
agency in st. Paul out of bust
ness.
Chambers Hand Seen
A careful analysis of the evid-
ence field with the court shows
that seventy-two of the seventy
five affidavits are those of men
who are either members of or are
employed by the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce. Practical
ly all of the affidavits have been
published number of times in
the Chamber of Comemrce organ,
the Cooperative Manager and Far
mer, and have had a wide circu-
lation. Nearly all of them have
been exploded and proved to be
without foundation.
State Led Into Litigation
The Equity board of directors
determined to put up a strenuous
defense against this latest at
tack. Many comments are being
made on the fact that North Da-
kOta officials who have been
pleading poverty as the reason
why a terminal elevator should
not be built, are allowing the
state to be drawn into costly liti-
cation promoted by the Chamber
of Commerce.

Election of E. l.. Brown.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

New York, Nov. 5.-Arthur Coppe1,
of the New York banking house of
Maitland, Coppell & Co, Thursday
was elected to the presidency of the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad COM
panV at a reorganization meeting OF
the roads directors Mr.. Coppell sue
ceeds Benjamin F. Bush. His election
is believed to foreShadow serious diff
ferences between important banking
interests now in Colorado of the Mis-
souri, Pacific company and the Gould
interests. which have strengthened
their hold on Denver & Rio Grande as
a result of the election. Mr.. CoppelPs
acceptance of the Denver & Rio
Grande presidency is only temporary,
as he is to be succeeded shortly by H
U. Nudge, until recently president of
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail-
way, and now chief operating officer
The election of Mr.. Coppen, as well as
the choice of his successor, Mr..
Nudge, is said to have been earnestly
opposed by Mr.. Bush, who was the
original choice of the GouldS for the
presidency of the Missouri Pacific in
the face of the opposition whose inter
ests he was today represented as fav-
Oring.
Some intimation of Mr.. Bushs atti-
tude was contained in the appended
statement issued by President Coppell
after today'S election:
After consulting with some of the
large stockholders, 10th in this coun-
try and in Europe, we thoroughly be-
lieve and are convinced that to be
successful, the Denver Il Rio Grande
railroad must be entirely independent.
Its chief operating officers must re-
side in Colorado and in no wise be
connected with the operation of other
railroad interests.
For the past years the president of
our road had held the same office in
both the Missouri Pacific and the
Western Pacific roads, which two
properties have lately come under the
jurisdiction of the courts. He has
also been appointed receiver of the
Missouri Pacific and also of the Iron
Mountain road.
1--WE are of the opinion that it is
detrimental to the welfare of the COM
pany to have as it's operating head, a
man who must give a large part of his
time to these two roads and who is

miles away from the company's oper-

Thin People Can

is a good test worth trying. First weigh
yourself and measure yourself. Then take
Sargol-one tablet with every meal-for
two weeks. Then weigh and measure
again. 1t isn't a question of how you
look or feel or what your friends say
and think. The scales and the tape meas
ure will tell their own story, and many
thin men and women we believe can easily
add from five to eight pounds in the first
fourteen days by following this simple
direction. And best of all, the new flesh
