The Presidents Speech.

President Wilson swept away all the cobweos
of doubt and justification which may have
grown like IN ooscurins cataract over MANY
ewes when he sisted his views and the views
OF what We believ IN De the better part Of real
America in simple, straightforward words IN his
Detroit speech.
There was no Interior meaning; no cryptic
signihccance in what he said; child could nave

There was no sarcasm no eloquent flights CT
fancy. just simple statement OF Iaeis as they
must appear 10 any one whose curve OF the big
horizon is not botted out BY the curve OF a gold
piece held AT close range.
The president made three interesting points
which might sum up the big question OF Ameri-
can internationalism-
one is that permanent peace can only grow
in the soil OF good viii. -
That good will cannot be brought about by
war, and that with real understanding, good will
must inevitably follow

But given common pulse ~ humanity and

The American people are essentially proyin-

They have been obsessed with the idea that
because America is the biggest and richest
country in the world, 1t was necessarily incapa-

This is their provincialism and as America has
grown to maturity and should have emerged
from the SNUG satisfaction which always &C

NEW DIVER EXPLOIT COMING

Providence, r. L., Dec. 4.-The
Providence Journal will tell of two
of the newest and most powerful Ger
man submarines, now off the Atlantic
coast.
They are the survivors of four that
started from Kiel on Nov. 5. The
other two were sunk by British patrol
boats.
Last Wednesday the German en-
bassy at Washington received from
Santiago, Cuba, complete report
concerning the whereabouts of these
two submarines, and the German am.
bassador has been in almost hourly
communication with his government
through the wireless at Sayville.
President Wilson is aware of the
presence of these two submarines and
also of the U-53, which never return
ed to Germany, and has warned Am
bassador Won Bernstorff that any repe
tition of the activities of the U-53 will
result in a rupture of relations with
Germany

FOR INDIAN LANDS
FANCY PR|CESPA|O

The sale of Indian lands at the
Agency last Friday was the most sue
cessful of the many so far held on the
reservation. Bids galore were re-
ceived by mail and many more were
handed in by those who attended the
sale in person. The latter were largely
in the majority and all were intent up
on securing one or more of the tracts
offered.
In all, 81 pieces of land were offered
for sale and for these 165 bids were
filed. Fifty-six of the 81 offered
were sold, the average price being
$25 per acre. Several tracts of graz
ing land were included, thus reducing
the average price of farm lands. The
highest price paid for any one tract
was $4,000 for an 80-acre tract near
Flathead townsite, six miles north of
Roman. Bidders on an average paid
about so per cent above the appraised
value. The sale aggregated $11O, 1000.
Another sale, so it is announced, will
be held some time in February, 1917.

BIG DEMAND FOR FOODS
CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES

The present high prices for all kinds
of food supplies can readily be traced
to the enormous demands coming from
the countries engaged in the great
European war. Prosperity in the
United States, or the alleged prosper
ity, owes it's origin to this cause and
not to any act of this or that admins
tration. American farmers now re-
ceiving the highest price known for
their products can unquestionably
credit the European war with being
the cause. They can also charge the
exhorbitant prices they pay for all
manufactured goods to the same source.
An embargo on food stuffs would with
out question reduce the price of wheat
and all other cereals, but would it re-
duce the price of the products of the
steel and iron mills and the output of
the big factories Of the east? An en-
barge on all exports would reduce the
price all around and put the United
States on a normal footing.
AS an indication of the great demand
for foodstuffs from foreign countries,
the following official report shows the
quantities of provisions used by the
Germans alone from February l6 to
Sept. 30:
Rye, 1,05l, ,5S7 tons; wheat, 100, $50
TONS. r17a forr e02 105 +onc. what
flour, l89, $40 tons; rye bran, 32, 474

II, ,0S0 tons; heads Of cattle, 1,469,248;
hogs, 1,412, 673; sheep, 909,253; beef,
2,3S6,512 pounds; pork, 3,873,286
pounds.
The total cost Of these colossal guam
titles of food stuffs and fodder was
over $3.50, 100000.
