RusINEss MEN PREFERRED.

Chicago Herald: Presidents Will
sons desire to place business men
rather than lawyers on the federal
trade commission, registers the change
which has been contaminated both in
the government of business and in the
business of government.
The lawyer, so long the arbiter
OF commerce through the courts and
congress, is losing his pre- eminence.
In his stead the practical executive,
the administrative expert and the en-
gineer are appearing. The nation
turned away from lawyers when the
federal trade commission was estab-
lished after the court of commerce,
having been deemed failure, had
been destroyed by congress. Other adj
vice was wanted. A fresh type of mind
was considered desirable If the. great
problems confronting business are to
be wholesomely solved.
The reason for this change is to be
discovered in the uncertainty Of the
present and in the nature of the two
professions, for business in now a pro-
fession. The active executive is the
man who can appraise the future; the
good lawyer is especially the man
who evaluates the past. 1t is true
that endless exceptions to this gem
eralization can be found. The Chicago
attorney, Sigmund Zeisler, whose APP
Nointment was urged by Senators
Lewis and Walsh, is distinctly a for
ward looking citizen.
But the president was entirely right
in looking for a business man Of large
experience rather than lawyer OF
equal capacity. The issues of today
and tomorrow demand the services OF
men who, by the very necessity OF
their training, have become accus-
toned to regard the future. In an era
charged with change general man
ager used to viewing the world gen.
erously is more useful than a learned

ADVERTISING NORTH DAKOTA
appreciation Week Edito rial In Wimbledon Nsws.)

This is Appreciation Week in which
North Dakotans everywhere are sup
posed to speak right. out in meeting"
for the honor and glory of their state.
Coming down to brass tacks at once
and stating the thing in nutshell, the
real object Of appreciation week is
to advertise North Dakota.
1t is safe to assume that the win
ming virtues of advertising are much
the same whether employed for per-
son, thing or state, and a word about
advertisig itself may clarity the task
Of advertising North Dakota.
In a general way all literature is
advertising. The patriarchs Of the
Bible are familiar beings to every
child in Christendom because their
names were written in the greatest
book of the world. The men Of an
Gent Rome that live today are those
whose names Plutarch wrote large on
human hearts. Since historians re-
corded the fact, we still see the Great
Alexander weep because there were
no more worlds to conquer. We can
see Napoleon at Toulon, at Marengo,
at Ulm and at Austerlitz, in Russia,
at Leipzig and at the frightful field
of Waterloo. His genius lives today
because authors wrote his deeds in
blood upon the pages of history and
romance. Paul Revere rides down
through the night giving his warning
cry because Longfellow set his ride
to meters. All art, all history, all lit
erature echoes down the corridors OF
time, a living advertisement OF the
great past.
vertising is the medium that tends to
bring buyer and seller together. 1t
creates an interest in the commodity
advertising. In the truest sense the
object Of advertising 10 to create
public opinion favorable to the per-
son. thing or institution advertised.
The best asset any merchant has Is
the good will of the public. To keep
that good will he must continue to
advertise. To stand still is to re-
treat To stop advertising is to let
your business run on momentum, and
momentum is a gradual move toward
a dead STOP To hold the old customers
you must reach out after new ones.
The reputation that endures, or the
institution that lasts, is the one that
is properly advertised.
Let us apply these principles In ad-
vertising North Dakota. We rejoice
in the fertility of our soil; but what
of that If we lack farmers to proper
ly intensity farming and make the
most of our agricultural resources?
We rejoice in the mineral wealth
which lies almost untouched, in a
hundred foIms, just beneath the sur
face; but all this natural wealth was
here centuries ago. What we need is
people to develop these untold re-
sources. To be sure the state has
many industrious and intelligent peo-
pie now, but we need many, many
more.
How are we going to get the peo-
pie to come to North Dakota? BY
advertising for them. The persons
who originated appreciation week. at
least, thought this to be a good way.
There is only one other way and that
is nabbing 'em by the collar and
fetching 'em here by main force. We

UNIVERSITY OF N. D.

An event significant in the life Of
North Dakota was the production Of
original plays by the members Of the
Sock and Buskin society, the dramatic
society Of the University Of North Da-
kota, on their community stage at the
university last week.
Four one-act plays were presented
by these amateur Dakota players,
and all Of these plays were written by
the students. They were of widely
differing types, ranging from farce to
tragedy, and included pictures Of life
in India, New England, Chicago, and
the University Of North Dakota. All
were very well written and proved to
be good acting pieces.
This presentation is Of Importance to
the entire state and to states beyond

nings of a Dakota drama which may
be built up to great proportions. What
has been done in the university COM

that is needed is that some one begin.

Service the Main Thing.

The Bee agrees with Congressman Stephens
in his main contention as to the desirability Of
passing the presidents army bill, What is i'm
peratively expected OF every citizen of the United
States, male or female, is service according to
ability This may not always be fully determined
by the individual Admitting that sufficient
army may be raised through the volunteer system,
we are confronted by the absolute certainty that
in the ranks of that army would be found many
who might be OF much greater value in some other
employment. Great Britain found it necessary
to bring back from the trenches hundreds OF
skilled mechanics who had volunteered because
their place was in the workshop rather than on
the firing line. This experience should teach us
something; we have muddled through other crises,
but never has the nation faced one grave as the
present Wisdom points the way plainly; the qu6-
ton u.s. will we follow it? Under the sclective
draft an army may be formed that will be eff
cient in the field and in the workshop and on the
farm as well, back to the tenth man who is said
to stand behind every bayonet Under such con-
ditons no stigma attaches to the draft, as is
limited at by Champ Clark, but the service is as
honorable as any ever performed in the name of
flag and country.

Law of the Late Legislature.

Quietly, almost unnoted, the longest session OF
the legislature in Ncbraska's history sputtered
out and the members unobtrusivey slipped away
to their homes Most OF the criticism that will
be laid against the body may be contained in the
charge that it wasted time. SO far as the laws it
passed are concerned, they are mainly oil negative
value, just as the session is notable for what was
not done rather than for what was. Aside from
the appropriation bills and prohibition law, very
little OF state wide Importance was undertaken in
the way OF legislation. Much attention was given
to project having for its purpose the erection OF
new and sorely needed state house, but this was
killed in the last moments OF the session, the
democrats deciding to go along with building

incidentally there is consensus of opinion
that the big bond issue might well be broken up

States would mark the community of interest that
stimulates public spirit and patriotism.
1t is true that home economy, subscription to
bonds and the smaller duties of citizenship are
not always inspiring to the individual. Neverthe-
less in giving this quiet service the people of the

Political Unrest in Germany.

Dark hints and vague rumors OF upheavas in

quality that keeps it within the range OF posi-

position OF Won Bethmann- Hollweg as imperial

strength, but it is also evident that tide Of dis
content is rising in Germany that may overwhelm
even the strongest. Won Bethmann Hollweg rep

the emperor must in time of war at least regard
The German people must be disappointed with
the progress of the war; they have given unhes-

treasure. only to find themselves shut of from
the world, their military position becoming daily
more precarious as their economical situation is
continually becoming graver. Promises made in
support Of pleas have not been redeemed, and
only repetition Of those promises is now offered
to secure further sacrifices.
Observers of German progress realize that
antebellum conditions cannot be restored in
Germany any more than in the rest of the world,
The conservative element, which consists Of sew

the politics OF the empire for years, but the course
