DENTISTS WHO ARE NOT
GOOD MAY HAVE LICENSE
REVOKED, SAYS LANCER

Dentists, surgeons, medical men,
chiropractors, osteopaths, opticians,
obstetricians, optometrists and others
who make business of curing or
patching up bodily ills and defects are
held to be in the same class officially
with an attorney at law in an import
ant opinion handed down yesterday
by Attorney General LANCER, in that
any one of these practitioners may
be deharred from further practice in
North Dakota on conviction of UNI
professional conduct.
The opinion written by LANCER re-
fers especially to dentists who may
be guilty Of any conduct unbecoming
a gentleman, but it is held to apply
with equal force to all other profess
sional men, any of whom may suffer
the revocation of their license upon
becoming guilty of unprofessional
conduct.

STRIKE SETTLED.

General relief is felt throughout the
nation over the settlement of the
strike. The increased wage burden
doubtless will be absorbed in time by
an increase in freight rates. AS usual
the people in the final analysis will
pay the price of victory. :,
At present writing the features of
the supreme court decision upholding
the validity of the Adamson eight-hour
law are not available. The decision
was very close.
1t is fortunate that the wage con-
troversy has been settled before the
international crisis becomes graver
and acual hOstilAies are upon us. h
Time only will demonstrate the val
ne of the Adamson law. The conces
sion, of course, was made by the rail
roads before, the decision was an
nounced and the settlement would
have been effective whether the court
upheld the law or not.
e. These decisions will be read with
great interest throughout the nation
The legalizing of the eight.hour prin'
ciple and the wage regulations surely
marks an epoch in our economic evo'
luton. Future developments under
this ruling are awaited with more than
ordinary interest.

8O,O58 ACRES OF NEW
LANDS PLACED ON ROLLS
IN M'KENZIE IN 1916

North Dakota's wild lands are fast
being settled. A complete list Of the
new taxable lands placed on the
states rolls in 1916 which has been
prepared by State Auditor Kositzky,
shows that 8O,058 acres were added in
Mckenzie county alone last year. Nor
ton, with 4O,237 came second in
amount of new taxable acreage; Will
liams, with 1924, ranked third, while
Billings, with 31,475; Dunn, with 3D.
818; Mountrail, with 30,496, and Di'
vide, with 23,241, were other heavy
contributors. The smallest amount OF
new acreage added by any county in
the state was 80 in Barnes. In all
4O5,9l3 acres of new taxable lands
may be credited to 1874 year which
was not particularly notable for i'm

responsibility OF furnishing arms,

The Russian people, as brave, as
self-sacrifcing as any people in the
world, were being crucified upon the
crosses OF Russian abs0lutism.
They we're mere pawns in the game
OF kings by divine rght-the Russian
cZar.
1t looks as though the conspiracy
had been given it's death blow and
that under the leadership Of their
representatives in the duma the Rms
sian people are now free to give to
their allies the full weight and
strength Of their support.
1t is impossible to overestimate the
importance OF this from the stand
point of Great Britain and France.
Ever since the beginning Of the war
the western allies have had to base
their strategy upon the possibility OF
Russian treachery.
The fear that at critical moment
Russia would betray them and make
a separate peace win Germany has
haunted every British and French
statesman.
1t has been situation full of peril,
not only for the Allies, but for the
rest of the non-German world.
II the revolution in Russia is az
complete as the early reports indi-
cate, it is without doubt the most
important single event since the war.
began.
AS a victory for the people over
kings and mobiles it may well take its
place in history with the American
revolution and the French revolution.
In many Of its aspects it is great
er victory than either of them.
A sixth Of the land surface Of the
earth with a population of nearly
2O0,000,000, is involved.
And not the least important posi-
bility which this revolution opens up
for speculation is it's effect on the Ger
man people.

ENGLAND AND FREE TRADE.

The war has opened England's eyes
to the evils Of free trade Lloyd
Georges land policy will lay new
foundation for rural England. Great
Britain had enjoyed for years a sort
Of cushioned delusion that peace
would last forever Practically no at
tempt was made to encourage intensi'
fed farming. Free trade made tho
tillage of the soil an uncertain and
precarious business.
Under the paralyzing economic po1-
icies, the farm lands of the British
Isles have deteriorated to the stage
of grass pasture. and even lower.
Rural population dwindled away
and cities became crowded with the
result that the standard of living de.
creased and poverty and squalor in
creased.
Since 1912, agricultural production
in the United Kingdom began to do
crease steadily under free trade, Eng
land during these years ignored the
food problem, depending almost Ell
tirely upon her ship bottoms to feed
her millions.
The war has revealed to Englan
the necessity of utilizing every ava
able acre in the production of food
In 1912 the island of England was
nearly self-suftlcing. In bountiful
years nine-tenths of the wheat requir-
ed was raised on English soil. These
figures are significant:
Wheat Consumption of the U. K.
Year Home Produce Imported
1912 22,OOO,O00 Qrs., 2,97O,0Oo Qrs.
1914 100000 Qrs. 29s220,00O Qrs.
In commenting on this situation,
the London Observer says:
1T is not in this generation, but
only in the next, that the soil, the
population and the country can reap
the full benefit. We are laying the
foundations for a new structure of So
ciety on the land Wide regions in
the counties have long since been
drained Of the very best of their hui
man breed. Low wages, dullness,
serfdom in almost everything but
name, drove the stronger natures to
the towns or overseas. Those who
remained are in many parts so de-
pressed, enfeebled, bullied, so broken
in spirit that it will take time to
nourish and hearten them until they
become again the men and workers
they ought to be. But the minimum
wage and its consequences will do it
For our part, we see in all this more
social compensation for the strang'
evil Of the war than in anything that
has yet happened"
