BRYCE PEACE PLAN WINS
6RITISAERS' APPROVAL

LONDON, Eng.-Details of what is
known as the Bryce scheme for a
league to. enforce peace were given
out recently by lord Bryce, former
British ambassador at Washington. In
letter accompanying his statement
Lord Bryce says the plan was drawn
up by himself and committee OF
prominent Englishmen two years ago,
but had not been made public Pee
viously because the time for publ
cation did not seem to have arrived
and because of opinion in England In
the midst of the war, had been regard
ed up to now as unfayorabfe for calm
consideration of the future. The plan
apparently antedates the proposal adj
vocated by former President Taft ana
Endorsed by President Wilson. Lord
Bryce says 1t has received the ap-
prevail of the present and late pre-
miers and foreign secretaries.
The Bryce plan. as outlined, fol.
lows closely the lines of the American
proposal but goes step further in
the direction of common enforcement
of decisions. and in providing for col
IectiVe action against any l1or-men-
Der nation which refuses arbitration
or Cancellation or against a member
nation which commits acts of agrees
sion without having agreed to submit
to the international tribunal.
1t is suggested that the greater
powers be represented In the inter
national council by three members. to
one or two for smaller movers. hut
Lord Bryce explains that this does not
seem a point of fundamental impor-
lance, as the functions of the council
would be advisory only and not exc
cutiVe.

OLD HEIRLOOMS

Mrs. H. II. Geyer is in possession of
some very old heirlooms which she re-
ceived from her mother in Ohio last
week. The box contained among other
things a copy of Leslie's Weekly dated
March 5th, 1864. A linen towel with
the Declaration of independence woven
into it, a home spun quilt over so years
old, three home made wool blankets
over so years old, her mothers we'd
ding dress which is about IS years old,
some home spun and home tailored
clothes, besides several other old
curios, all of which she justly prizes
very highly. And if her friends desire
these articles will be put on exhibition
at some convenient place, possibly at
the county fair this fall.

ization of primary cooperative ele-
vator companies, which were just as
bitterly and unfairly contested, mis-
represented and discouraged in their
initial stages as are the stateowned
and operated elevators now.
As President of the Dakota Territor-
ial Farmers Alliance in 1878, / be-
gan the agitation for state-owned and
operated elevators, Touring mills and
packing plants with public transporta-
ton at cost, and government banking
without private profit, as the only
practical means of eliminating private
monopoly.
or, to put it in other words: Any
unnecessary tax on the exchange Of
labor and labor products, whether in
production, distribution, transporta-
ton or exchange, is a tax on labor that
must be paid by the Icoducer or con-
sumner (and we are all producers and
consumers), and should be eliminated.
We cannot do it all at once, but we
can and should make a beginning.
For the first time in many years

the first part of the program, and
which | consider the necessary initial

propose first to deal with the prob
lem of state-owned and operated grain
elevators and Touring mills. | dis
cussed the former in a series of arti-
cles two years ago, and know pretty
well, from the defense made then, and
the recent unfair and misleading at
tacks made on the Non-partisan
League by very able, cunning and
adroit 'barometers" of private mon
opoly, just about what The House of
Morgan will desire, inspire and re-
quire, editorially, in the Northwest.
The first proposition we will deal
with, then, is that affirmation that the
present system Of handling grain by
the grain exchanges is an invaluable
modern marketing device by which
the farmer can protect himself by in
surfing the price of his grain by selling
an option for future delivery, as surely
as by fire insurance on his buildings
or through life insurance for his fam
lily. H. l.. Loucks.

is an example worth reading:
Alexander Rodgers, farmer, eight

For years l was subject to attacks of
kidney trouble. If l over-worked, my
back gave out and I was laid up. 1

annoyance and l was feeling miserable

FROM PRODUCER TO CONSUMER
AT THE MINIMUM EXPENSE

The high cost of living, with the ac-
companying bread riots in all of our
large cities, and great suffering in
many of the smaller ones, exceeding
those of war-cursed Europe, during a
period cf unparalleled prosperity in
our country, as alleged, surely war
rants more than the appointment of a
commission to investigate.
1t is passing strange that the states
men employed by the people in our
national legislative halls do not know
the real, fundamental cause of this
phenomenon,
Once more it is left for the farmers
of the Northwest to start the move
ment for the only effective solution of
this food problem, viz: To free the
path in the exchange of labor products
from the producer to the consumer
from exploitation and all unnecessary
expense for private profit by state
owned and operated grain elevators,
Touring mills and packing plants.
The two Dakotas are leading in this
movement and have submitted consti-
%tutional amendments, which, if adopt.
ed, will enable the state to aid, by
use of it's credit, or ownership and
operation of these public utilities.
1t is none too o o to open the cam
paign to prepare the voters in general
for intelligent action, and l promise
as time permits to prepare a series OF
short articles dealing with this very
important topic.
1t is obvious that the can
not use either our wheat or our live
stock; but they can use and must have
our -four and cured meats.
Then to meet the consumers clubs
direct it is essential rnat we manufac'
ture our farm products into food pro-
ducts; but these two branches Of in
dustry, legitimate parts of agricultural
production, have eensmonopolized by
groups OF men, taking advantage OIL
the farmers neglect.
They do not produce. assist in pro-
duction. or take any risks in producing
the raw material. Their one and only
object is private profit. In this they
have been and are being aided by
other groups of e~xploiters and bene'
~ficiaries of special privilege co-operat'
ing with them, in fact. they are a
part Of the system of private monop'
oily now in control Of the commerce

Colored Contingent Away

The "a negro boys selected for
the army left Monday for Camp
Funston. They were a likely
lot with only three or four smart
clicks who will make good sol
diers when they learn.
The colored women of this city
prepared a sumptuous feast for
the embryo soldiers and it was
served to an appreciative bunch
of guests if ever there was such
who sat at tables in this berg. No
better meal could have been de-
sired by any one and it contain
ed as many delicacies, gotten up
by expert cooks who sure know
the art, as the most exacting
among the eplcures who had the
good fortune to stick their feet
under the tables could expect.
Decorations were profuse. a big
flag at each end of each table,
flowers and fiub-dubs galore.
Rev. Wilkins, pastor of the
colored Methodist church deliv-
cred an address which would
have been a credit to speakers
of many more pretentions than
he arrogates to himself. The
thots were good and well ex-
pressed and his admonitions to
the colored boys to conduct
themselves like men, do their
part always and return with
clean records, military and NOR
al and religious, were well re-
ceived and apparently sunk into
their minds.
The special which took the boys
away at 2.l8 was q long one and
well filled with negroes from
various places east of this dis
Etrict camping point. 7ss
/ The day was unfavorable and
the program being badly arrang-
ed by the bad weather and PEN
etrating cold wind but the boys
duly appreciated conditions
and if any Disappointment was
felt it was not expressed. The
absence of music was the one re-
grettable loss.

when Austria Hungary surround
