With the docently awakened inter

MOORHEAD FOLKS
ATGROUNDSEARLY
THEY SPEND THE EARLY HOURS
OF THE OLD SETTLERS DAY
AT THE STATE FAIR - AMONG
THE FIRST TO LOCATE IN CLAY
COUNTY.

Seated on a bench in front of one Of
the concession stands and tanning
themselves with a newspaper, two of
the pioneers of the valley were located
this morning. Both were Moorhead
residents and they were reminiscenc-
ing. They were William Middaugh
and Mrs N. Curtis. They were among
the oldest pioneers, and the first on the
fair grounds this morning.
William Middaugh, veteran of the
civil war, former postmaster, farmer

valley in 1872 from Howard Lake
Mimi, and for years he was a resident
of the little inland station of Rollag,
Mimi, where he farmed, was postmas-
ter and a merchant. OF late years he
has resided in Moorhead.
Most of the old settlers, with the
exception of Mr.. Gulbranson, are dead"
said Mr.. Middaugh this morning, when
asked If any of his neighbors were on
the grounds for the great annual reun-

cases of specified concerns, by pro-

concerns. 1t is a consequence simply
and solely Of the exercise of the right
Of the state to limit or control, in the
interests of the state, the trade rela-
tions Of its own subjects. AS regards
the United States list this may rough
ly be divided into four classes:

Second-German firms incorporated

"Third-Except in so far as covered

British Firms Forbidden
to Trade With Certain
Firms In United States

London, July 1S.-The British gov
ernment today publishes list of from
seventy to eighty business firms and
individuals domiciled in the United
States, with which residents of the
United Kingdom are forbidden to
trade. This will be the first time that
any American firms have been placed
on the statutory list, which is better
known as the trading with the enemy
act blacklist. All other countries have
been represented on the list for some
time.
Laming Worthington Evans, con-
troller of the foreign trade department
of the foreign office, gave The Asso-
ciated Press the following explanation
Of the latest extension Of the trading
with the enemy act:
1T has been the policy of the
British government in the past to fol-
low the theory that in forbidding it's
subjects to trade with an enemy, that
enemies domiciled in friendly coun-
tries did not come under the act.
France and various other countries
hold the doctrine that their nationals
cannot trade with an enemy, no mat
ter what his domicile. Modern condi-
tions of credit and commerce make it
possible for any enemy outside
belligerent territory to trade with his
country. Therefore a considerable
body of opinion in this country urged
the government to abandon its tradi-
tional doctrine and the foreign office,
while not going to this extreme, de-
eide to simply prohibit persons
domiciled in the United Kingdom from
trading with a limited number of
| individuals, firms and companies of
enemy nationality or association under
| the same penalties as though they
| were trading with an enemy"
The statement continues:
"It will be clear that this policy
embodied in the recent act is purely a

VIOLATIONS OF Law
HELD TO MINIMUM
Local Police, Aided by Special Of
ficers, Keep Law Infractions Few
and Far Between.

Despite the large number of fair
visitors, and others in Fargo during
fair week, law infractions thus far
have been held to the minimum. The
local police, enforced by a number Of
special officers, have the situation
well in hand, and expect to maintain
their hold during the balance of the
week.
Especial efforts have been made
to prevent autoists from exceeding
the speed limit, particularly from N.
P. avenue and Broadway to the fair
grounds, which is the course of hund-
reds of automobiles within an hour.
With officers each two blocks from
there to the fair grounds, it has been
necessary to arrest but two offenders,

the RADICAL

Perhaps the most startling ac-
ton of Woodrow Wilson as pres
ident of the United States is his
nomination Of Louis D. Brandeis,
as associate Justice of the United
States supreme court.
Mr.. Brandeis has ability that no
man questions. But the bitter OPP
position that has sprung up
against his nomination in the
United States senate is based on
his ''radicalism." This reputation
as a radical comes from his life
time of fighting. He has been one
of the leading forces in American
life in the fight for better social
conditions.
He fought long and hard in his
efforts to drive the railroads out
of politics, even going to the ex-
tent of showing them how they
could secure better financial re-
turns by obeying the law instead
Of violating it. His writings and
speeches won him bitter enmities.
He advocated a federal trades
commission, and when it became
q reality protested that congress
had not given it sufficient powers
In this regard he fought for a
governmental supervision of rail-
road stocks and bond issues. He
was one of the men to wage war
on the New Haven railroad, pio-
neer in the campaign that led to
federal prosecution. WOO. he has
identified himself frequently in
state fights to secure better wages
and hours for working women
And in the Ballanger-Pinchot
controversy he acted as attorney
for CLAWS and fought the battle

The New York World recently
asked relatives Of Lusitnia vic
Tins how, in their opinion, the
long diplomatic deadlock with
Germany over 1.-THE sinking of the
liner should be ended. 1t is re-
markable that no correspondent
who answered the Worlds query
proposes that the United States
should go to war to avenge the
deaths of Lusitania victims. One
survivor, whose nine-year-oll:
daughter was drowned when the
ship went down, saw "too much
OF the war in England last year"
to wish her country to be involv-
ed in it. A gentleman who lost a
brother writes: Neither money
nor Cksavowals will bring back
the lives that were lost. We are
loyal Americans a.d we are ready
to stand by the President in ali
things" There ought to be an ex-
ample in the sane repression of
these actually bereaved ones for
the emulation of unbereaved hot
heads whose counsels would long
ago have plunged this country in
to a war Of vengeance had they
been needed.
