BUSINESS COLLEGE
HAS GOOD RECORD
Local Institution Celebrates Its
First Anniversary Last
Wednesday.

The Bismarck Business college cele-
brated its first anniversary Wednes-
day, with a record of 207 students en-
rolled, trained and placed in position
during the first year. The college in
one years time has evolved from an
institution occupying single suite Of
rooms over business house to mod
ern knowledge factory" occupying its
own three-stOry brick building, with
special departments devoted to each
course, and with dormitory space suf-
ficient to accommodate practically all
Of it's out-of-town students. The col
lege cafeteria, which is soon to be
added, and where meals will be served
on the club plan, at actual cost, will
complete the plant, which will then
be second to none in the northwest.
During the past year students have
enrolled from every part of North Da-
kota, from eastern Montana and from
northern and southern Minnesota,
Based upon last years enrolment,
President Langum anticipates that
this years student body will number
at least 400.
The new Office practice department
is ready for operation. 1t is really a
marvel in efficiency and completeness.
Each student will have a modern bus
inessman's desk, in the popular white
oak finish; there will be a banking
room with furnishings which would do
credit to any financial institution, with

SHELL CREEK OFFERS
MANY OPPORTUNITIES

Shell Creek makes the fourth town
on the 500 Line on the Fort Berthold
Indian reservation, the other towns
being Parshall, Van Hook and Sanish,
these towns having been opended up
for settlement a couple of years ago
and are now fourishing business cen!
tiers. 1t has been reported that the
town of Parshall, which is nine miles
west of this newly opened townsite,
has made greater growth than any
other village in the same period Of
time in the western part of this state.
The town is less than three years old,
and are now building beautiful brick
and concrete buildings. There are
three progressive banks in this burg
and number Of upto-date store, no.
tells and other business houses. There
is no doubt but what the newly plated
town of Shell Greek will have splendid
growth also. The country surrounding

and is we'll settled. 1t will have
splendid territory and there is no rea-
son why anyone who is looking for an
opportunity in small town to open

made an enviable record in his line
of work.
Unless all signs fail the new school

exceptionally good one The number
of inquiries from prospective students
is very encouraging and the enroll

is certainly growing that the May

strong faculty, it's excellent equip

almost severed from the trunk.
Jealousy, the police believe, may
have caused the murder.
The bride, they say, was spright-
ly girl, fond Of company. She was
blonde and was considered the most
beautiful in Chicago's north side.
Petit was a widower when he met
Miss Keiser at a dance. Courtship
and elopement followed.
Two weeks after the wedding, the
police claim, Petit asked his young
bride to pledge herself to a suicide
pact with him. He said he was tired
OF life, according to the police.

A CONFIRMATION.

It is estimated by the statists that the people of New York with six cent loaf in vogue will pay sixteen million more annually for their bread. Suppose Chicago is about three quarters of this, St. Louis half San Francisco and other towns of like size a third, it is plain to be seen that on these figures the bread price increase levies a toll from the country of a hundred million dollars Those who like to consider this question may ask who gets it. The answer is easy. It goes to swell the profits of the exporters and specu lators, to pay for the high insurance upon shipping and generally very generously to pay a pro rata or the expenses of a European war. Wher the European people are playing al soldiers. the masses in the States pay the piper in the form of in creased cost of living. It is al right for the other fellow.

ACCORDING TO REASON.

It is impossible not to admire the noble effort poor Hughes made to be a political sDieler. The poor man did the best he could, but ike the boat that wouldn't sail in rough weather. he wasn't built that way. But what he did say is quite sutIici- ent to show that after while he might equal Wilson as maker of epigram and as an utterer of plati' tude.
 Thus he deplored 'any other set. clement of labor controversies save according to reason. The author of the New Freedom himself couldn't beat that. It's gem. II sounds good, feels good, appears good and looks good. Settling labor controversies according to the rule of reason ought to appeal to all. But whose reason, Governor? Wha

A DANIEL.

Judge Daniel Brumm was being entertained by the Patriotic Sons oi Something or Another at Pottsville Pa. In the course of a speech in re. ply to the Sons who filled his ample girth with good wine and tasty viands, Brumm said that the nemD CTS of the I. w. W. ought to be hanged.
 That was very clear and explicit as an expression of one mans opin- ion.. But suppose the members oi the l. w. w. were to publish the fact in their estimation that hang ing was too good for the Brumm's S where would they get off at? It is an interesting question of equality before the law.

WAR AND OTHER DEBTS.

What is war debt? You can hear see and believe every other financial expert telling what is going to hap pen after the war when the nations face war debt of several hundred billion or whereabouts.
 A good deal of this forecasting is tommy rot pure and simple. The nations that are in debt suffer no undue hardship. If it is not taken from labor for one purpose, it is for another; and what the financial overlords do not get the captains of industry will.
 To the people of any country it is quite immaterial whether the major portion of the product of their labor goes to pay up interest. rent or profit. It makes some diff erence to the man over them, but
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-11-15

not, to the workers at all. In those belligerent countries, the war will occasion a redistribution of wealth among present time owners. But it will not change the system of distri- button whereby the owners take four-fifths of the product of the labor, their ownership of the means of production and distribution en- ables them to extract. The work CTS will live anyhow. They are the wealth producers and as an engine cannot be driven without fuel or steam, so the wealth producers must be fed and clothed.
 Financial writers and other talk about national bankruptcy and the rest. But there is never any trouble in these bankrupt nations getting along very nicely The Ma tional Debt has never interfered with national prosperity, nor have the extravagancies of government
 proved anything in the way of a curse. The only thing that the bank
 ruptcy of nations reveals is how
 bankrupt is the political economy of it's professors who refuse to see that labor applied to the natural re- l. sources creates all wealth, and own | crship grabs it.

OWNERSHIP.

They had a strike in the cigarette plants Of the American Tobacco Co. in the city of New York. When the company found that the employees were standing pat for their de mands, a slight wage increase to meet the increased cost of living. and there was no sign of any sur render or detection the company put this ultimatum to the employees :: that they would move the machinery and the manufacturing plants to Richmond, Va, and leave the seven thousand New York employees with out any means of subsistence if they did not return to work.
 Great is the power of ownership. It is the only power. It alone con- fers upon those who rejoice in it's possession the right to control the lives and destinies of others. What other thing is like to this? How else can men, women and children be do minated if not by controlling and owning the means whereby they live? And how in the name oi common sense, could reason and un inflamed intelligence is such a thing as freedom possible where the few control the means whereby the mas ses live?

 That has been the way in all ages. The feudal laws, the law of mortmain and all other folderols in the way of feudal privileges which were enjoyed by the feudal lords, were regarded by the serfs with feel ings of outrage and injustice that never did become satisfied until an Age of Reason came with a Reign of Terror.

When the Bayonne strike was on, one New York daily dared to circu- late the facts as to Bayonne and the strike and the police violence.
