The National Tennis
Tourney Starts Tomorrow.

OF more than usual interest to fol-
nament for the national tennis
championship, which opens at Forest
Hills, Long Island, tomorrow. This
has been a great season for upsets
with no one or two players standing
out above the others.

been largely responsible for upsetting

beaten by all the ranking players at

DO WE WANT IT.?

Most of us are always signing for
peace, signing for some vague time
"when we can sit down and be quiet"
Even a very famous English nov
elist, Horace Annesley Vachell, seems
to have decided that this is the great
thing to be dragged out Of life. At
the end of his new novel, "The Tri.
umph of Tim," he writes:
"He. Was. not yet able to reckon
the change within him, the new amaz.
ing sense of self-detachment. His
passion for Daffy was dead, and with
It seemed to have died other interests
and ambitions. The vicar stood forth
as a radiant example of how fine life
might be without passion. As he
came home the gray skies seemed to
meet and fuse in the gray landscape.
Out OF thesFsilence peace descended
upon him. Whether It would finger
with hinor notShe could not say"
As wss1ad, in4his novelist's words
what sce'' means the death Of
interest ambitions and passions"
we realize that we do not want it.
Why be dead before we die? No, we
don't want a triumph" like Tins.

mite coal may become its richest re.
source. The fact that the state owns
such large proportion of land in
the mineralized area is thought to in
sure a handsome revenue to the pub.
lie school and other funds for many
generations to come.
Because land as to whose coal con.
tent there is question can now be
proved to have or not to have only
by expensive drilling, the state engi-
neer and the land commissioner will
recommend to the next legislature
steps toward amending the constitu-
ton so that the state may dispose OF
the surface right Of any of its lands,
retaining title to any coal, oil. gas or
other minerals that are known to ex'
list or which may be later discovered.
The provision for the leasing of coal
beds on state lands for mining pur.
poses has been held unconstitutional,
and the land department feels that
some means should be devised by
the legislative assembly to permit the
leasing ct state coal lands under prop.
or restrictions.

ZAP AND DODGE GET
LONG DISTANCE WIRE
Differences Between Local and

Settled e..

The railroad commission gave a
hearing yesterday afternoon in the
complaint Of the Zap Telephone Com
pany vs.. North Dakota Independent
Telephone Company, which involved
the question of a telephone connec-
ton between the exchanges at Zap
and Dodge with the long distance
line. It turned out to be case large
ly of misunderstanding on the part
of the Zap company. and the issue
was settled by the commission defin-
ing the rights of both parties and ar.
ranging for the desired. connection,
while at the same time forbidding
the Zap company from doing toll
business between Zap and Beulah in
competition with the North Dakota
company. improvements will be
made in the local exchange service
at Dodge so as to do away with CON-
plant there. and it is believed better
relations will exist hereafter between
the two companies.
The commission goes to Garrison
this morning to hold a hearing on tho
request for better protection of two
railroad crossings at that point. Re-
turning from there the board will
look into number of other cases in
the western part Of the state, the itin-
erary for which has not yet been ar
ranged.

No country has ever enjoyed so ad
vantageous position as ours in the
last two years. Demands for our pro.
ducts have been without limit, profits
enormous and wages unprecedented.

Fortunes have been made over night
and speculation has been rife.
But these temporary conditions
have not stimulated the virtues Of
economy and self-sacrifice, nor pre-
pared US for the future.
Soon after peace, production will
have a diminished market, employ
ment will decrease and wages will be
difficult to maintain. The unnatural
prosperity which has arisen from the
misfortunes of other nations cannot
contine. The marvellous balance Of
trade in our favor amounting to
81, 750, 000, 900 in the last year must
diminish; there may even be a bal.
ance against US. .., %.
Prices which have phenomenally
risen in response to war demands
must drop Naturally the general
range of prices, which increased rap
idly in years prior to- the war, will
show a descending turn.
The volume of immigration will de-.
pend largely upon the disposition Of
foreign countries to prohibit the de-
parture of their citizens.
! We need not be unnecessarily pes.
simistic; our wealth has vastly in.
creased, there will be unlimited re.
quirements for the reconstruction Of
buildings. factories, bridges. etc., de.

To furnish these, it will be neces.
sary to, lend capital to Europe and es.
tablish adequate organization for
prompt, and efficient action. IN +.
New outlets for trade must be
sought, among neutral nations. These
must be promoted by careful study
of their needs, by loans. and by i'm.

MOUNTAINS.

There are two ways of looking at
a mountain.
Earliest man saw mountains as
high walls. Only the adventurous
dared to cross them. Therefore diff.
ferent languages grew up on opposite
sides OF high ranges and mountains
became the natural boundaries be.
tween nations.
Modern men of certain spirit be.
hold mountain as i challenge.
Mountain climbing is the greatest OF
all the sports. Like baseball and
football, it has it's heroes and litera.
ture.
No man can escape his mountains.
Perhaps you are facing yours today.
Are you discouraged? Are you like
the primitive man who fancied that
evil spirits dwell in the cold, high
passes?
Or are you a thorough, modern,
game to the core, and eager to accept
the challenge Of the heights?
Modern mountaineers agree that
they do not climb for the view. In
deed, at the top, they often find the
world shut out by clouds. Sir Leslie
Stephen, who made mountains his
playground, once said: II remember
with something like sense of shame,
how on one of the loftiest peaks OF
Switzerland l spent the precious mo-
ments in having my trousers mended
by a guide, who happened to be also
a tailor"
In the business of life, as in noun
tain climbing, it is not what happens
at the top, it is the triumph of the
accomplishment which makes the
sport worth while.
Don't let today's barriers shut you
in. Climb them, for sheer joy in the
game.
