MERC|FUl EXPLOSION

Some 60 cars of ammunition
manufactured in America for
the Allies were blown-up this
week in New York. A great
number of people, residents Of
America, were killed and injured
and several million dollars worth
of property destroyed. While
we regret deeply the loss of life
we cannot but say in the same
breath, we are glad the amunii-
tion was destroyed before sery--
ed it's intended purpose; shat
tering human lives by the thous.
ands in Europe. That ammu'
milton was to be shipped In vio-
lation of Americas neutrality
even though consigned to a
neutral european country; not
violation according to the
letter of the law, but certainly
a violation of the spirit Of the
law. To those who contend
that the munitions makers here
are justified in shipping contra.
band to Europe we address these
questions: what use has q neutral
power for SO carloads Of amuni.

Correspondence Democrats en-

they get no advantage from a pro-
tective tariff. but the facts are
otherwise.
The Canadian Government pub

Brunswick representative in Cuba,
relative to the Cuban market for
hay. from which the following is
quoted'
Cuba Is increasing it's hay i'm
ports, the total augumenting from
1880 tons in 1912 to 3,33l tons
in 1915. Nearly all of this comes
from the United States and Canada
and while in 1912 Canada supplied
about the same share as the United
States, in 1915 the latter country
furnished al, ,448 tons as against
only 1,747 tons from Canada.
The Canadian decrease is said to
be due to the war;
This is just another windfall
from the European war which has
been picked up by the farmers of
the United States, and which the
Democrats will credit to their ad-
ministration.

Banker j. w. Harris, accom-.
panied by the editor mOtored to
Ft. Yates, N. D., and to Mr..
Harris's farms south of McLaugh-
lin. Monday.
The trip is one of the incest the
writer has ever had across country.
At Ft. Yates both parties had
business with Superintendent,
Claude G. Covey; Mr.. Harrls's
business was about Indian lands
he had purchased and the writer's
was about the publication of the
sale of Indian lands which will
take place hereafter. the publica-
tions of which will be made in
this paper as the appointment
was received from Washington
d. c., in the early part of July.
The next date Of sale will be
held the 1lth Of November, this
year. 1t will be held two weeks
later than first planned. the new
arrangement is an accommodation to
this paper. Mr.. Covey is as nice
a business man as one could wish
to meet.
On the return trip from Ft.
Yates, Harris desired to inspect
his crops and the trip was made
in jig time. Harris is some driver.
Where he has q chance to let the
the car out, he sure does; lunning
at as high a speed as 45 miles an
hour across the prairie roads; the
beauty of his driving is that he is
thoroughly acquainted with every
inch Of the road and knows where
the bad spots are and from speed
of from 80 to 40 miles per hour he
can gradually stop the car and let
in and out of a bad spot, so easy
there is hardly a jar. The writer
often wondered why Harris both
cred with farming when he had SO
many other financial affairs to take
care Of. We know now and don't
much wonder, in fact we now won
der what he wants to bother with
the bank for when he has such
splendid farms to observe his time
and talent.
Field after field of grain was
either cut or being cut; a huge
tractor pulling four binders; two
monster silos; immence barns;
cattle sheds with en- ormous floor
space; team after team pulling
moving machines that were cutting
the hay for the 500 ton supply
needed to carry the cattle over the
winter; all this was witnessed in q
few hours. Harris's farming abil-
lty is good subject for feature
page of the Dakota Farmer.
One of his fields of grain, that
that StOOd almost os hiuh ac a
mans thigh, with a long we'll fill
ed head. was struck by the rust
and the grain shrunk making at
least a third less crop. But, the
corn was over the writer's head
had great broad leaves and was as
luxuriant as one could wish. 1t
will be q splendid crop. The trip
was we'll worth the time taken.

ACTIVE SELLING
 SENDS PRICE DOWN
Cotton Affected Also by Break in Wheat Market and U-BOat News-LiverpOol Houses were Buyers Again.

New York, Nov. 10.-An early ad- vance was followed by a very sharp break in the cotton market here to- day, with May contracts selling off from 1897 to 1857, and closing at 1868. The general list closed steady at net decline of II to 23 points. The general list closed steady at a net decline of II to 23 points.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of to 16 points in response to lower Liverpool cables and private ad- vices reporting a break of 90 points in the market for Egyptian. There was good demand at the start, how ever, and the market soon became firmer. Houses with Liverpool con nections were buyers again, and there was good deal of covering. The more active deliveries soon sold 6 to s points net higher, with January ad- vancing to 1865, and March to 19.79 These figures seemed to attract heavy general realizing. At first offerings were pretty we'll absorbed on reac- tions of 10 to 12 points, but every lit tie bulge seemed to meet long cotton, and the selling became excited during the afternoon. A break in the wheat market may have accounted for some of the heavy selling from Western sources. There were also rumors of submarine activity in Mexican waters, which tended to increase the nervous ness of sentiment, and stop orders were uncovered on the break which carried January off to 1928, and March to 1883, or about $2 per bale from the early high lead and 50 to 35 points below last nights close.
 After the execution of the stop or ders liquidation became less active, and closing prices showed rallies of several points from the lowest. The early advance had the encouragement of bullish Southern spot advices, and reports that the last census report had inspired rather a more active demand from exporters.
 Cotton closed steady.

FOUR MEN TO HOLD
 BALANCE IN HOUSE
2l5 Democrats, 215 Republicans and One New Mexico Solon DOubtful-Neither Has a Ma jOrity.

With returns missing from only one congressional district the Republicans and Democrats each had elected 215 representatives The vote in New Mexico, which is still in doubt, prob ably will determine which party is to have a plurality of one. The present member from New Mexico is a Repub- lican.
 The balance of power will be held by four members, one a Progressive Protectionist from Louisiana, one an Independent from Massachusetts. one a Progressive from Minnesota and the other Socialist from New York. Their action-apparently will determine the choice of a speaker as well as the fate of legislation on purely party lines.
 In addition to the hope of eIecting a congressman at large from New Mexico the Democrats had one grain of comfort. It was that on official count may disclose that Thomas J. Scully has been reelected from the Third New Jersey district. They say the chances are that Scully had won by a few votes over Robert Carson, his Republican opponent, to whom the election previously had been conceded, by narrow margin.

FATE OF ACTS AND AMEND
 MENTS NOT SETTLED

Little Rock, Nov. 1.-The fate of the acts and amendments has not been definitely settled yet. There are some things that are certain. Act No. 2, the liquor act, has been overwhelm- ingly defeated by vote of more than two to one. Act No. 1, the primary election law, has been adopted by nearly the same ratio. Amendment No. 13, for the initiative and refer endum, is running behind, and will probably not receive majority of the votes cast on the subject. Amendment No. 12, for the school tax. has a ma jority of the total vote cast, according to latest returns, and with a total of nearly 90,000 votes accounted for, will probably pull through. The good roads Amendment No. II, has heal thy lead in the number of votes east on the subject, but is falling short of the majority on the highest vote east and will therefore probably fail, un- less the unreported vote comes in strongly in it's favor.

CELEBRATE WILSON'S
 SUCCESS WITH RALLY
About 4000 People Take Part in DemOnstratiOn-75 AutOmo- piles and Hundreds of People Led by Two Bands.

What is believed to be by far the largest political demonstration ever held in the city took place last night when through the efforts of few of the more enthusiastic Democrats who within a few hours formulated plans for the celebrating of the greatest Democratic victory in years.
 A crowd estimated at about 1000 men, women and children congregated at the court house at 6:45 carrying horns, tin tubs and buckets, blows and any old thing to make a noise, and headed by Clyde Marsh, marshal of the day, marched for about thirty minutes over about fourth of the town. The procession included about 75 automobiles decorated with the na- tional colors, the head car bearing a big photograph of the man of the hour, under which was an electric sign with the words America First" Ed C. Nuts splendid band led, fol- lowed by the Prescott Concert Band, both furnishing music continuously The marchers patrolled enough of the city so as to let every one know the glad news and marched back up East Elm street to the court house where four of the city's best orators made short addresses.
 Hon. w. V. Tompkins was the first speaker, his remarks being full of congratulations for the Democratic party in having such man as Wilson to lead them, and he being a southern man, Mir. Tompkins said is more sea- son why we should be proud of him. He spoke at length on the numerous southern men who have been central figures in the moulding of the great American nation. He was often in terrupted when the name of Woodrow Wilson was referred to, which was the signal for shouts and cheers,
 The next speaker was Col. C. C.. Hamby, who dwelt at length on the fact that the party had at last thrown off the yoke of the politicians of New York, and with the help of the mighty West had succeeded in electing Democrat without any assistance from Wall street. Col Hamby was repeatedly interrupted by the cheer ing crowd, each statement increasing their enthusiasm.
 The remarks of Hon. T. C. McRae, who was the next speaker, were aglow with praise for the national Democratic party which stood so solid behind the president when he needed them most, in overcoming the big Republican and Progressive vote, but Mr. McRae pointed out to his hearers the fact that the party in our state needed looking after and needed it badly. He warned the party leaders not to overlook the past record which has been one that would hardly bear inspection, and the sooner they clean up the more able they will be to back the president in his clean administra- tion.
 A brief closing address was made by the originator of the demonstra- ton. Judge c R. Haynie.

DOES THIS OPlN A
 WAY FOR PEACE
German Chancellor RenOunces Wish to Annex Belgium, and Opposes War-COnsidered Sig nificant by Berlin Papers.

Berlin, Nov. 10, via London.-The morning papers treat the speech of Chancellor von Bethmann-Ho Hollweg in the Reichstag yesterday as a docu- ment of the utmost independence in throwing light on the responsibility for the war, the character of peace and the subsequent political status of the world, and of Belgium in par ticular.
 What Dr. won Bethmann-H Hollweg has said about Germany's willingness to enter world union for compelling peace is endorsed generally except by some Conservative newspapers. The Vorwaerts says:
 Tn the chancellor's speech we hear the rustic of the wings of the future which will bring these horrors to an end"
 The imperial chancellor's remarks that he never demanded the annexa- tion of Belgium is generally treated as equivalent to a definite denuncia- tion of annexation. The Kreuz Zei- tung says it understands his words in this sense and regrets them, along with the other conservative organs like Die Post, Tages Zeitung and Tag lische Rundschau.
 Peace Gaining Ground
 The speech of the chancellor, in which he announced Germany's will lingness, under certain conditions, to cooperate in efforts to form an inter national league of peace after the war, was followed by a debate on the chancellor's remarks A member of the Socialist party said that in all countries the idea that there should be an end to the war was gaining ground. He said the chancellor was correct in saying that the cry for in ternational treaties to prevent recur- renee of war would become so strong that it must lead to results.
 The speaker said that formerly Ger many had attached less importance than France and England to the idea of arbitration. The chancellor had ex- pressed fear that England would frame a peace coalition in accordance with her own desires Nevertheless. he said, the principle ought to be re cognized as right
 It was an important point, the So- cialist member continued, that the chancellor never had spoken of the annexation of Belgium as essential.
 "Germany is at war for defense and not for conquest" he said, "and it would be of advantage if Germany should take the lead in a coalition for the prevention of war"
