A new name to an old variety of
wheat improves it's selling qualities in
the hands of an unscrupulous dealer.
High sounding names and extravagant
prices go together. Generally the
claim is made that less seed per acre
is required. One peck per acre is the
recommendation for some of these.
since so little seed is required, the
price is at least correspondingly high.
Within the past few years one of
hese varieties was distributed under
the name of Marvellous, Miracle and
Stoner On investigation this was
not found to be superior to the good,

New York City Now
the Labor Center of
Atlantic Seamen

New York. Feb. 13.-New York
city is rapidly replacing Liverpool as
the labor center for sailors shipping
on merchant vessels between this
country and Great Britain. according
to DR.. George Sidney Webster, secre-
tary Of the American Seamen's Friend
Society.
"The shifting of the labor center
for seamen is due" he says, ito the
fact that many ships of both Ameri-
can and British connections have
adopted the policy Of signing their
men on for the forward and return
voyage at this port. Under present
conditions. men are more available
on this side. and there are almost no
instances of desertion on the British
side in comparison with consider
able number Of the part of sailors
shipping to this country from belliger-
ent nations.

American rights without such decla-
ration. That would mean. Of course.
the sending Of American war vessels
to protect American merchant vessels
against attack. That would be q rath-
or unimportant detail. however. Many
wars have been fought without formal
declaration. and tho declaration quite
frequently Is delayed until some time
after hostilities have begun. Whatever
the technical status. the sending Of
American war vessels across the At
lantic following the destruction Of
American lives by German submarines
would mean that state Of war ex-
listed.
The advent Of war would not mean
the sending Of soldiers to Europe. at
least for a long time. We have no SOL
diers available for the purpose. and
we could not have an army Of re-
spectacle size ready for duty on the
continent in less than a year, and
perhaps not for much longer period.
The first, and probably the only field
Of activity. unless we were called into
Mexico, would be tho ocean. It would
be necessary for US to send warships
into tho waters Of the eastern ATTAIN
tic and the North Sea, not only to give
protection to our own commercial
craft. but to destroy If possible. the
power of our antagonist to injure
them. Because the work must be done
effectively. if at all. this would in
volve q measure Of cooperation be-
tween our fleets and those of Great
Britain and France. What the scope
Of this work would be no one can
predict with safety. There would be
no danger to our own coasts from
German surface craft. except as an
odd ship might slip through the guard,
but there would be very real need for
protection against raids from subma-
rines which might find their way
across the Atlantic, and this would
occupy the attention of considerable
part Of our fleet. Steps would be ta-
ken for the raising and equipment of
an army. but that there would ever
be an opportunity to use that army is
greatly to be doubted.
At home there would be some
changes. Factories now engaged in
turning out munitions for foreign
governments would turn their ener-
gies to the work of outfitting our own
troops. Other factories now engaged
In other lines would become munitions
factories, and such institutions as au-
tomobile establishments. while they
would continue to build cars, would
build many Of them for the govern
mont instead Of for private individu-
ais.

Warrington. Feb. 13.-several hun

held q mass meeting here tonight as
the concluding feature Of q day Of
demonstrations and petitions to mem-
bers of congress and the White House

THE STATE FAIR,

In the Bismarck dispatch in the
states Socialist daily announcing
the indefinite postponement of the
bill establishing the state fair perma-
nently at Fargo. the failure of the bill
is explained on the ground that mo
effort was made by the citizens of
Fargo to secure the fair" The state
fair bill was introduced for the triple
purpose of dangling a price before the
eyes of the Fargo people. and there
by influencing the votes Of senators
from that district in favor Of an un-
lawful method Of constitutional revis-
ion; Of clubbing Grand Forks county
senators into support of the revision
bill: and Of presenting to others an
object lesson Of the manner in which
the cabal in charge Of the house pro-
cedure was prepared to punish those
who opposed and reward those who
supported its program.
The combination Of bribery and
bullying failed dismally. Fargo people
not only did not make an effort to
have the demand complied with, but
repudiated all suggestion of compro-
mise in the matter. Grand Forks peo-
pie, who were expected to be scared
stiff by the prospect Of losing the
fair urged their senator's to stand
fast, to continue their opposition to
the revision program and let the state
fair measure hang on it's own peg.
And outside senators. having no spe-
cial and local interest in the fair, were
not influenced by the horrible exam
pie which was held up before them.
And so the bill was defeated and
went to it's everlasting rest.
1t is scarcely necessary at this time
to discuss the merits of the state fair
question. At the be inning there was
some friction over the arrangements
made. Most Of that friction has dis
appeared. Excellent state fairs are
held in the alternate years in the two
cities, and each accommodates a Sec
ton of the state which would not be
accommodated as we'll were the fair
permanently in either city. And be-
cause of the interest developed in each
section by the fair, in each city, in
the off year, there is held a fair more
, local in management, but almost as
general In character, so that in actu-
al effect we have now two state fairs
and both Of them good ones, each
year, instead of one.

NO COMPROMISE ON FuNDA-
hENTAIR.

There are innumerable things on
which mon may compromise. on
which they must compromise If there
10 really to BE- united action in the
direction Of progress. But when vital
human rights are at stake and the is
sue is not whether or not tho liber-
ties Of individuals shall be extended
in certain directions, but whether or
not liberties already gained and es-
tablished by means Of struggles and
sacrifices which have extended
through all tho long centuries Of hu-
man history, there can be no such
thing as compromise.
There IL in progress a movement
whose form at this time is somewhat
vague. which is understood to be di-
rected to an adjustment as between
the United States and Germany. and
q measure Of compromise which will
avert war between the two nations.
On this subject there Is no basis on
which q compromise can be estab-
Of cargo which one Of the bellig-
erents has seized to prevent it's deliv-
cry to the enemy. We may confer
and compromise over the measure Of
Inconvenience to which our neutral
people may be subjected under the es-
tablished usages by this belligerent or
that, during the progress of the war
We do not expect that with the major
portion Of the world at war 1t will
be possible for US to conduct our COM
merce with the dispatch which would
be possible in time Of peace. We do
not demand this. But we do demand,
and We do insist, that when our people
go abroad upon the open waters Of
the ocean. engaged in the conduct Of
their own business, thav shall not be
fired upon without warning or exposed
in open boats for out at sea to the wild
fury Of tho elements.
On this there can be no discussion
and no compromise. If any nation
threatens to adopt this method In its
treatment Of our citizens, it is our du-
ty to protest in the most emphatic
manner. And If that protest is un-
availing, and the threat is followed
by the actual commission of the acts
threatened. 1t is our duty to resist
with all the physical force that We
can summon. There can be no COM
promise on fundamentals.

EIGHT PER CENT.

1t has been proposed that the state
Of North Dakota shall erect a termi-
nal elevator at a cost of half a million
dollars, and then shall lease the
property to privately organized CO.
operative company which shall pay
the state eight per cent on its invest
ment. The income thus derived will
provide funds sufficient for the paw
ment of interest on the bonds which
would be issued to pay for the build
ing, and sinking fund for the re-
tirement of the bonds themselves The
state would thus, in a few years, be
the owner of a half million dollar
property which would not cost it a
cent, and which would continue in
definitely to yield a handsome In
come.
This is very attractive. 1t is not
often that an opportunity arises to
make money as fast as that. There
are some complications, constitution
al and otherwise, in the way just now,
and 1t may not be possible to remove
all the obstacles at this time. 1t may
be that the state will not be able lust
now to avail itself Of this remarkable
opportunity. However, the individual
who arc interested in the rental side
OF the proposition need not be con-
cerned. If they cannot induce the
state to build an elevator to be rented
to them on these terms they can easily
induce private capitalists to do so.
II 1t can be shown conclusively that
there is opportunity for the invest
ment Of large sum Of money in an
enterprise which will yield eight per
cent net. without risk, and over a
long period of years, not only a beg
carly half million. but scores of mil.
lions can be obtained on those terms
The amount of money available for
investment on such terms is practical.

Is the State Ashamed?

Fargo Forum: In spite of the fact
that the former German ambassad dor,
Count Won Bernstorff. admitted that
the United States was absolutely in
the right in its contention which led
to the diplomatic break with Ger
many when he said. There was moth
ing left for the United States to do"
despite the fact that German and Aus
trian born subjects all over the coun-
try are admitting that the United
States is in the right. and passing
formal resolutions endorsing the
presidents action, five members Of the
United States senate refused to en-
dorse resolutions putting the highest
legislative body Of the nation squarely
back of the president at this critical
time.
And to North Dakota's shame, one
Of those five represents. or rather
misrepresents. this state. Senator
Gronna did not express the sentiment
Of his home state when he took that
stand. The people Of North Dakota
stand behind their president by an
overwhelming majority as was shown
by the prompt action of both houses
Of the North Dakota legislature, in
heartily endorsing his action.
This surely is a truer indication Of
the real feeling Of the people Of
North Dakota than the act in the

State Comment
The Twine Plant.

Westhope Standard: The fact that
the state has run q twine plant and
made 1t pay. is advanced as a reason
for the state to go into other business
ventures. Prison twine has under
sold other makes cent or two per
pound. but the employees only receive
about fifteen cents per day. II a
union wage were paid all those en-
ployed in the plant, what would be
the difference in the price?
