A SIGNIFICANT PHRASE.

Priority of shipments" is a COM
paratively new phrase in war legisla-
ton. but it is one that carries a ire
mendous significance.
The new administration bill that
has slipped into congress almost I'M
noticed, during the debates on war
revenue. food control and other mat
tiers, is a tremendously important one.
The question Of priority is one that
reaches into almost every admins
trative function during the war. In
times Of peace. the principle of FIRST
come. first served" is fairly we'll es-
tablished. But in times OF war. no
such haphazard method can prevail.
Munitions must not be allowed to lie
sidetracked while furniture is moved.
Farm machinery needed for harvest
ing crops cannot be permitted to re-
main in the terminal yards while the
railroads move pianos or pleasure au-
tomobiIes.
England was confronted with the
problem very early in the war, and a
Priority commission was the result.
Its powers extended not only to trans
portation. but to manufacturing. The
work OF the nation was graded into
classes. Class A work had the prior
ity. and everything else had to be
sidetracked for it. 1t is not unlikely
that some such system of classifica-

ONE WAY TO NOMINATE.
Power is intoxicating.

Power liz intoxicating.
Fargo was given a good example of
the 'heady" effects it brings, last week,
in the nomination of q candidate for
congress on the Nonpartisan ticket,
A majority of the delegates at the
convention were not residents Of the
First district; but they selected the
candidate.
The choice was made in secret con-
vsntion called and presided over by a
Minnesota man. az
The candidate Is member OF the
examinations executive forces.
Voters Of the First district were told
by non-residents of the district the
league candidate for whom they might
vote. The announcement came after
n session behind closed doors-not
even a good old fashioned. out in the
open convention, which the primary
law was framed to kill off.
OF course there is still the incon-
venient necessity of holding an cleo
ton. Otherwise the league leaders
could simply appoint one Of their num-
Der to All the vacancy and represent"
the First district.

BACK TO EARLY DAYS
Tents Used as Places Of Abode al
Jamestown Because of Scarcity of
Houses,

Jamestown, N. D., June 4.-Some of
Jamestown's most prominent families
have gone back to the early days and
are now residing in tents, barns and
garages.
Hard times is not the cause for this
set back" In fact prosperous condi-
tions may be attributed as the cause
for they have all taken up their abode
in these temporary dwellings while
splendid residences are being erected
for them here.
At least twelve families are now liv-
ing in such quarters and will undoubt-
eddy do so for the ensuing two months.
Scarcity of houses and the rapid
growth of Jamestown is another rea-
son why they have gone back to early
conditions.

WANTS COLDER HEADS"

Uncle Sam wants Older heads" for
officers than he has been getting.
Since the first announcements of
the opening of officers training camps,
the call has been for men of from 30
to 40 instead of those in their twen-
ties. The first requisite of an Of
fcer is good judgment. The days
when the only requirement of an Of
ficer was the ability to wave a sword
and lead a charge bravely, have
passed. The officers of today needs
judgment and executive ability. In
the announcement that a second
series of training camps will be open
ed, it is stated that the preference
will be given men who have passed
the age of 81 years.

WHITE AND BROWN.

Japan and the United States can
at least thank Germany for bringing
them to closer understanding of
each other.
For years the Japanese DOGGY has
been held up before Americans by
preparedness advocates. in an effort
to brighten this country into greater
ornaments. These efforts have not
gone unnoticed in Japan. and they
have bred a feeling of mutual distrust,
which such problems as the Japanese
immigration have not served to les
sen.
American and Japanese destroyers
are now cooperating in the warfare
on the submarine in European wat
ers. If this alliance serves to remove
some of the suspicion that has marked
the feelings of the two nations toward
each other, the war will have had at
least one beneficial result.

present with us, none the less, the
redeeming minority who turn to
things more worth while
One circumstance, though should
occasion us some earnest though,
and some very real self-examina-
ton. Our community has undoubt-
edly been growing, wealth, in
numbers, in prestige, but also in
needs educational needs. Yet the
growth in educational facilities has
by no means kept pace. In fact,
there has not even been the attitude
to existing institutions that there
should be. Our Synagogues still
are attended as religiously-and as
scantily-as ever Probably as a
result of this, the support of the Tai
mud Torahs is just as hearty as it
ever was, and everyone knows what
that means. The kindergarten
class at the North Side Talmud Tor
ah had to be discontinued for lack
Of funds; no additional classes were
added to The Talmud Torah proper,
and the authorities are glad that
they have been able to maintain the
old. A more Orthodox Talmud
Torah had been established, and is
about to close. not because its pro-
ponents are less Orthodox, but be-
cause they find that even their school
needs financial support. True, the
Yidd1she National Radical Shu1e has
opened it's doors, but it still has to
run the gamut of the deadly mala-
dies that beset every new educa-
tional institute. Even should it sue
coed it will not reach the element
or do the work that the more re-
sponsible school in American Jewry
has been trying to reach. No less
disco uraging is the failure of the
projected Normal Class for Jewish
Teachers. True, the classes were
continued by the Young Women's
Hebrew Association, but they were
really a series of more or less dis
connected lectures on Jewish topics
certainly better than no classes at
all. But they were not the classes
that had been intended. One pleas
ing sign, however, is the formation
of the Y M. H. A. and the Y. w. H.
A., which represents an inarticulate,
striving for religious and cultural
influence for those to whom the Me-
norah does not or cannot cater
There is, therefore, much scope and
room for a marked improvement in
the religious-intellectual Jewish life
of the city.

and so I'M Jewish in almost every
thing else. To many Jew, send
ing a son to the army is still almost
tically associated with
thoughts of the Russian knout, of
the Cantonists, of the Jewish chill
dren kidnapped in their infancy to
be brought up as soldiers, and,
meanwhile, to be weaned from their
faith. Prejudices die hard, and
ideals, the ideals for which war
is waged, take time to win ground
for themselves. But let the Jewish
parents of drafted sons hear, as we
have heard, the enlisted men at Fort
Smelling and elsewhere speak of the
courtesy with which they are treat
ed, of the pleasure with which vol
unteers, themselves barely more
than immigrants, speak of the army
of the U. S. A. as the finest on
earth and of it's officers as the finest
gentlemen in uniform-and they
will realize that to be a soldier in
and for America is not what it
meant in Europe. Are the Jews
patriotic? If you could have been
at the banquet for the Jewish draft
ees in Minneapolis, you would
have known the answer to the ques-
ton Why, there were almost as
many men in uniform, from Fort
Smelling, as there were conscripts.
Of these there were quite few
non-commissioned officers, corpor-
ais and sergeants Of the commits
stoned officers present, the lieuten-
ants told of what army life will do

oldest to the youngest, their mes

Jewish observance and Jewish edu-
cation, may we not hope that the
clearer insight which calamity or
even a threatening crisis always

election ever held in Minneapolis,
the elections for the Jewish Con-
gress. Our Congressman, DR.. G.
J. Gordon, had the running almost
all to himself. Both Rabbis, of the
extreme wings of our community,
having become convinced that it was
most fitting to send Rabbi as dele
gate to the Jewish Congress, natur-
ally proceeded to work for the non
Rabbinical candidate. Their only
difficulty in the matter was the
plendid relations between the can

Nothing more is expected-but here the excuse for this story; there is SC much in evidence that is unexpected that # is of these additional qualifications that want to speak. for really Mrs. Pearce stands for so much that is fine and genuine in the commercial world, as well as in the social world, that feel sure that recital of her experiences and achievements will be of interest to other women who are engaged in various en- terprises in the business world.
 I've long since made the mental ob- servation that blondes (when marred) do just exactly as they please and so when Mrs. Pearce laughingly told me that she went into business soon after she was married because her husband was away from home all day and she didn't want to sit a rnl1nd ha md +xuir rl hor fipu and gossip--I thought her judgment very sound and rejoiced superbly in the fact that what the particular little blonde wanted to do (and did) was worthy of the big nature and the fine ambition tucked away in her sensible little head.
