Pictures Good Results to b Gained
if Friendship With Austria
Is Re.EStabfished.

ROME. March s7-Every measure
possible has been taken by tho Italian
government preparatory to the begin
ming Of hostilities by italy on the side
of the allies.
Efforts to effect an adjustment of the
differences between Italy and Austria
are still being continued pertinaciously
by Prince Won Buelow, the German am
bassasior, notwithstanding the almost
insurmountable obstacles he has en-
oountered
Authoritative Information has been
obtained that the prince is now en-
deavoring to present the matter In a
somewhat different and more compre-
hensive way. He seeks to convince
Italy and Austria that they should not
disregard the broader questions of pol
Icy and mutual self-interest on account
of possible misunderstanding of the
moment.
Effect on the Future.
Prince Won Buelow has expressed the
opinion that the matters now under
discussion cannot be limited in their
application to the present, but will
have a far-reaching effect on the
future Of both nations. He is UNDER
stood to have had recourse to the
arguments set forth by him twenty
years ago. during his former service
as ambassador her. and later when he
was imperial German chancellor. He
| then pointed out that the strength of
the triple alliance was impaired by
antagonism between Austria and
Italy, an opinion which has been con-
nrmed by recent events.
Possible Cox Operation.
He now maintains that once these
nations overcome the friction occa-
stoned by Austria's retention of Trent
and Triest they will be able to CO.
operate to great mutual advantage in
asmuch as they have important COM
mon interest in the Adriatic and
Mediterranean.. Actuated by q. United
policy in respect Of these questions. the
| prince points out, Austria and Italy
would be fortified ip.thetr position by
| having behind them Ger1nany's inhu-
ence and support
Cites Dire Consequences.
The ambassador is represented also
as picturing dire consequences for
italy II any other policy be adopted
His view is tAat If the triple alliance
should be dissolved italy would be at
the mercy of France and England, or
might become the prey of Russia and
her Slavic allies. So far as can be
learned, the prince has been unable
| thus far to procure the adoption OF
| his views, the question OF pounoary
adjustment in the near future remain
| ing uppermost. 1t would appear that
Austria Is altogether unwilling to make
concessions acceptable to Italy.

Each Hour Lessons Hope
That Men in Sunken "a
Will Escape With Lives

Every hour that passes without ia
vorable word from Honolulu lowers the
hope that any Of the men in the sunken
submarine F4 may be alive. While
there is always the possibility of life,
naval authorities are agreed that 1t
will be little short Of miraculous IL
any Of the F-4's crew should survive
their fearful ordeal.
Secretary Daniels and his aids today
anxiously awaited some word from
Rear Admiral Moore or the commander
of the submarine fotilla upon which
they might base some hope, but as the
day went on and none came they sad
iy admitted that the first submarine
boat accident in the United States Navy
probably had taken a place among the
worst in the world.
Causes of the accident have aroused
much conjecture among naval officers
but that part of the story cannot be
told until the F4 Is brought to the
surface.
Twenty-One Aboard.
Twenty-one persons-two officers and
nineteen enlisted men-were on board
the submarine F-4 when she started
on her underwater cruise in Honolulu
harbor Thursday morning.
Revised reports to the Navy Depart
ment show that besides Lieut.. Alfred
Louis Eide, commanding the F-4, there
was another commissioned, officer
aboard that vessel when she disap-
peared-Ensign Timothy A. Parker OF
Kentucky, who was attached to the
tender Alert under submarine instruc-
tion.
Ensign Parker was appointed to the
Naval Academy from Galloway county
Kentucky. by Senator Ollie James and
was graduated in the class of 1910
Since then his service had been mostly
on the Pacific coast. He was attached
to the Maryland and the Yorktown be-
fore his latest assignment to the Alert

ROOSEVE[TBACKS
Up HIS ASSERTION
In Long Telegram He Defends
Statement Regarding Ship
Purchase Measure.
IS BORNE OUT BY FACTS
= WELL KNOWN, HE INSISTS
Tells Senate Committee Wilson and
Bryan Pushed Bill Knowing e.
feet It Would Have.

In a long telegram to the Senate
committee investigating the alleged
ship purchase bill lobby. laid before
the committee today, Col Theodore
Roosevelt defended statement made
by him in q magazine to the erect that
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
had "endeavored in the interests OF
certain foreign business firms to Sc
cure for the United States tho power
to purchase the interned ships OF one
of the belligerents." Col. Roosevelt in
sisted that this statement was borne
out by facts generally known to the
public.
Senator Walsh, chairman of the in
vestigating committee, In laying the
| telegram of the colonel before the COM
charge to the effect that the adminis-
tration had worked for the ship bill in
the interests of foreign business firms
had been made publicly outside of Col.
Roosevelt's article so far as he knew.
He said that in requesting Col. Roose-
the committee had supposed that he
must have some information upon
which to base such a. charge.
No Direct Charge Made.
1T has been intimated," said Senator
Walsh, in the course or the DEBATE
upon the so-called ship purchase bill
that the conditions to which the reso-
luton adverts prevail. and that 1t was
being urged by officers of the govern
ment in high places to subserve their
own private interests or those of their
friends, including the owners OF the
ships referred to- No direct charge to
that effect was made by the author Of
the resolution, nor so far as some
what careful search of the record dis
closes. by any other senator.
THE resolution for an investigation
was offered, presumably, because the
official information laid before Con-
gress would not justify the accusation.
1t was desired that further hearings be
had that the facts might be established,
il they exist. In the prosecution of the
work imposed upon it by the Senate
the attention of the committee was
called to statement in an article at
tributed to Col Theodore Roosevelt"
Senator Walsh then read the tele-
gram sent to Col. Roosevelt asking him
to appear before the committee.
"Waiying any comment" continued
tS4oatUf Walsh, ION the courtesy of the
reply to the message Of the chairman
Of the committee or the degree of re-
spect 1t exhibits for the United States
Senate, whose directions the commit
tee is endeavoring to Gerry out, the
telegram will be read by the secre-
tary."

come the Leagues candidate for gov.
ernor. 1t is known that George would
like it. Well refer to this subject in
subsequent issue.
The League will never stand for
Tom Hall, Secretary Of State. Tom is
the fellow who stood in the back Of
the hall at Bismarck and yelled "Rot-
ten," the night the Equity held its
meeting. At least one OF. the leaders
accuses Tom Of doing this, and we
have never heard of his denying it.
Tom will go back to private life. He
declares that he's even with the board
and never did see any fun in letting
printing contracts and the like, any
way.
Going back to a previous subject,
neither Frame nor Linde hope to have
the support Of the League for COVER
nor. Burdick, who has had hopes of
the endorsement of the League, may
be expected to rise right up and get
busy.
VIM. LANCER, the Morton county
states attorney, is to be candidate
for attorney general, but the Indepen-
dent learns from good source that
he cannot get the support Of the
League.

A TOAST TO THE HORSE.

We don't know who wrote this toast
To the horse, but it is a good one and
worthy Of being placed beside Senator
Vests famous eulogy on the dog:
"Here's to the bundle of sentient
nerves, with the heart of a woman,
the eye of gazelle, the courage Of a
gladiator, the docility of slave, the
proud carriage of king and the blind
obedience of a soldier; the companion
Of the desert plain, that turns the
moist burrows in the spring in order
that all the world may have abundant
harvest: that furnishes the sport of
kings, that with blazing eye and dis
tended nostril fearlessly leads our
greatest generals through carnage and
|renown, whose blood forms one of the
ingredients that go to make the ink
in which history is written, and who
finally, in black trappings, pulls the
proudest and the humblest of US to the
newly sodded threshold of eternity"

THE WEBB-KENYON LAW.


other measures dealing with holly con-
tended issues. has become, more or
less, the plaything of the courts. The
purpose of the law is to prevent inter
state traffic in liquors from interior
ing with the enforcement of the anti
liquor laws of the states.
District Judge Hunter of Ottumwa,
Iowa., in 1918, held that the Webb
Kenyon law was unconstitutional and
void, in that it is delegation by Con-
gress to the states of the power to
regulate interstate commerce in in
ltcxicating liquors.; that it gives the
states a right to say what shall be
brought into them. and that the fail
ure to impose any penalty leaves the
punishment for violations to be fixed
by the states. All of these delegations
Of power were held to be in violation
of the Constitution. Judge Hunter was
later reversed by the Supreme Court
of Iowa, and the law declared consti-
tutional.
And now comes the opinion of the
supreme court of Kansas that "there
is nothing more sacred about whiskey
intended for unlawful use that there
| is about diseased meat and lottery
tickets, and, therefore, Congress has
the same power to prohibit interstate
traffic in one as in the other"
The supreme courts of Iowa and
Kansas are VIGOROUSLY anti-liquor
tribunals. It is by no means certain
that when the Federal courts pass up
on the law they will not adopt the
reasoning of the Ottumwa judge. II
is the courts, after ALL who hold the
reins of power. Congress has the priv
Ilege of initiating legislation wanted
by the people and-when rebuffed by
| the courts-or trying again.

THE WOMAN WHO RUNS FOR A
TpAJN

A woman and man ran for train
the other day. Both caught it. But
the woman was exhausted, while the
nan was only pleasantly flushed. The
woman got there the same time the
man did-that is, she did this time.
But she may not next time; unless, in
thinking it over this time, she conclud-
ed that she might have to run for
many other trains and that she might
as we'll widen her skirt and loosen her
stays and have a pocket in her coat
so that she need not stop to pick up
her purse and her handkerchief; that
she must also do her hair less orna-
is pinned, and wear a hat that will
not catch the wind as she runs. These
things would seem easy and sensible
to do. They may be one, but they are
not the other. And she usually COM
promises. She goes out into the high
way in shoes that grip the ground and
skirts that clear it; she leaves her
body oppressed by needless bones and
bands; she wears her hair so that it
need not be brushed several times
while she is out, and she surmounts it
with hat that stays where it is put
and can be forgotten. When she comes
home, if she can afford it, she puts on
ornamental clothes for her own pleas
ure and the pleasure of those who are
interested in her. But when once she
has found by actual experience the SUI
perior comfort of sensible clothing,
even her ornamental clothes become
changed, and she becomes impatient
of all its observation-disclosures to
actual health and free movement that
man could not endure an hour, let
alone lifetime-Ladies Home Jour

consistent manner. We have tried to
tell facts about our conditions, in no
way endeavoring to cover up any of
our defects.
We had intended securing numerous
testimonials from our farmers who
have succeeded but when one stops to
consider that we have several thous--
and farmer readers of the Indepen-
dent, all of whom have made good
from very small beginning, we figur-
ed that the task was one too big to
tackle. During the fourteen years
that the writer has lived in Minot, we
have seen farmers coming here with
a few dollars, amassing snug little
fortunes. We have watched them turn
the first burrows on their prairie
homesteads. We have seen them build
their first little shacks-some Of them
sod shacks. We have seen them set
out their groves, build fences, dig the
stone from their land, erect silos and
wind mills, replace their first sets of
unpretentious buildings with modern
houses and up-to-date barns. We have
seen fat years and lean years. We
have watched the evolution whereby
they were converted from grain farm

rural mail routes have added much to
their pleasures. In sort, in these few
years we have seen vast expanse Of
this domain converted into one of the
most wonderful agricultural, dairy and
stock raising countries in the world.
All of this was not done without hard
work The man who is looking for
soft snap wants keep away from
North Dakota. But if he is willing to
take the bitter with the sweet, does
not expect to get rich in one year,
there's no better place to build up a
home and rear family than right in
North Dakota. We have room for
thousands of willing workers. Are
you ready to join us? The Indepen-
dent will be glad to furnish, free of
charge, such information as anyone
should like to receive relative to this
section of the state and the opportuni-
ties offered.

THE "SIX-DOLLAR SUCKER

Much has been written about the
Non Partisan League, dubbed by it's
enemies, "The Six Dollar Sucker
Club" The growth Of this organiza-
ton has been the most rapid Of any
similar body in the history of the
northwest. 1t was while the legisla-
tllre was in session last winter that
the idea of organizing the farmers was
first considered. A delegation from
the Equity did not like the way they
were treated by some of the legislat-
ors when the terminal elevator ques-
ton came up and then and there made
plans for controlling the legislature.
A few members to the League were
secured at the Bismarck meeting, A.
F. Bowen, we'll known Socialist, re-
ceiving the first memberships. With
in a month or two, the mysterious or
ganization was formed. Organizers
about the state during the summer
months to secure members at the rate
of $500 per, emitting them to one
years subscription to Pearson's Mag
azine and to the official organ, the
rest going for organization expenses,
etc - 1t is said that in the neighbor-
hood of 10000 members were thus Sc
cured At first the idea was to pay
attention only to the legislators, but
the Independent learns that the organ
ization is planning on holding county
conventions. to nominate or endorse a
complete set Of county candidates, to
endorse candidates for Congress, the
United States Senate and for the var
ious state offices. 1t is understood that
these candidates are all to be filed as
republicans. If the Non-P Partisan
League holds together, it is likely to
cut a good deal of ice in the coming
campaign.
We made a VOW that we were not
going to say anything about the can
didates-not yet-but this write-ur
would not be complete without saying
something about them. McCumber
who has been posing as the farmers
friend, has had hopes of getting the
endorsement of the League, but this
he will not get. The members of the
League declare that what they will
do to "Mac" will be plenty. Governor
Hanna, candidate for the Senate, has
never had any hopes of getting the
support of the members, therefore viii
not be disappointed. Congressman
Helgesen from the First district
would like to get the support of the
organization. He is an old time pro
gressive. AS an insurgent, he wa!
radical. A man without any grea
amount of ability, he managed to ge
elected because he was an insurgent
there being great reform wave going
over the land at that time. Helgesel
hopes to be endorsed by the Leagu.
and it is entirely possible that he will
be successful. While, as we have stat
ed, he has not shown any great amour
of ability in Congress, he has beef
honest with his constituents and hi
record has been fair.
According to the grapevine tele
gram which we received, Geo.
Smith, the Plaza publisher, may be
