SOME JlINGOIST.

Here is what the Hon. Sidney j.
Cats, newly eleced prohbitionist
governor of Florida, says he would 90
if he were president of the United
States-he writes in a telegram to
the Philadelphia Ledger:
Il would send Germany or any 9th
er nation that would ever attack an
American citizen within 20 miles OF
France, or the British Isles, or any
where else, either an ultimatum or "a
hours, telling them that If they killed
q single American citizen they would
haze ME- and the whole United States
to whip, and l would direct the ad-
mirals of the navy and the generals
Of the United States army to prepare
for battle, and in "a HOURS we would
meet them, and as one revolutionary
general said, "The enemy would be
ours or Mollie Stark would be wild
owe NJ do not know whether this
would be proper or not, nor do care;
but these are my sentiments, and they
would be the ones that | would live
up to in regard to the loss and des
truction Of American lives

WHAT IL MEANS

There is some confusion as to just
what the status is when nations sever
diplomatic relations. 1t is defined in
international law as measure short
of war"
1t does not necessarily mean war,
but modern history affords only one
instance of break between first class
powers that has not been followed by
war. In 100 cases since 1900, actual
hostilities have preceded formal de-
clarations of war. In twelve cases
the declarations have come first.
Other steps short of war which may
follow a diplomatic break include re-
prisals, retaliations, nonintercourse,
display of military and naval force
and embargoes.
The Hague convention signed by
both Germany and the United States,
makes declaration of war before hos
tilities compulsory.
Rights Of citizens are not material
ly affected by the severing of diplo-
matte relations. Private property is
not liable to seizure. The courts Of
the contending countries are open to
litigants of either nationality and
commercial relations may continue.
ConsuIs often remain at their posts
and continue to discharge their duties.
Humanitarian work by this country
in behalf of German prisoners of war
and civilians detained in Entente
countries must be abandoned, as must
similar humanitarian labors in behalf
of entente countries now detained or
held as prisoners in Germany.
Countries with which the United
States has broken relations, and the
circumstances attending the action
are: Mexico, twice, first under Pre-
sident Buchanan because of injuries
to Americans, and recently because
of the chaotic conditions resulting
from civil war; Nicaragua, two Am
orleans, Canon and Groce, executed
by Zelaya; Brazil legation closed by
American charge d'affares because of
of capture of American vessels; the
legation was later reopened when
Brazil protested.

It was passenger 'ersug freight

league majority in favor OF lower
freight rates. The logic of their ar
gument seemed to be that the rail
roads must earn profit somewhere ;
that If they lose on their passenger
service they must make 1t up on their
freight; that there is no general de-
mand for a reduction in passenger
rates, and that there is a universal
liking for lower freight tariffs.

LEGISLATORS WILL
DRAW $4,000 THIS
WEEK, SAYS k0S|1zK>
State Still in Funds Despite
Threatened Stringency-
Regents Cash Held Up

State Auditor Kositzky is still in
funds. He has a $4,000 legislative
payroll to meet Saturday, and he will
be able to do so, even though he has
just paid capitol employees their
monthly stipend.
The state auditor, at the direction
of the governor and attorney general,
is holding up appropriations to the ex-
tent of 100000 due institutions under
the control Of the state board of re-
gents. This sounds worse than it
really is, as majority of the money
is in amounts appropriated for new
buildings, and which would not be.
available now in any event, as the
state hasn't the cash. Probably not
more than $1,000 is in salary vouchers.
The auditor expects action from the
governor and attorney general not lat.
err than Saturday on the question of
who's who in the board of regents.
which the governor has fired, but
which board has refused to GUST.

there was to raise the price to the
farmer. Since 1912 we have handled
over 3O,0OO,OOO bushels of grain. Last
year we handled 100000 bushels.
1--WE came here in 1915 and asked
for small appropriation from this
state to build an elevator" and here
he paused to pay his respects to
George S. Lotus, who was with that
delegation. "An elevator was abso-
lutely necessary. Competition is the
first essential to a market. TO COM
pete, we had to have an elevator. We
didn't advocate the states going into
the grain business as money-making
proposition, but to assist us in Great
ing better market for the farmers
of the state The report which the
board of control made on terminal el-
evators two years ago was not COM
plete, accurate or authentic"
The speaker skipped over the de.
tails as to government ownership,
supervision and control, which he
stated should be left for later date
when the constitution can be amended.
He referred to Canadian laws prohib~
iting the mixing of wheat, and which
have enabled Canada to become
great exporter, and expressed the
opinion that North Dakota may also
export wheat when it reaches point
where it can prohibit the mixing OF
inferior grades from other states with
the product of North Dakota.
President Johnson.
President NJ P. Johnson spoke
briefly and to the point. 1--WE have a
great many more friends for things
the Equity has stood for in the fiji
teenth than we had in the fourteenth
legislative assembly," he remarked.
He referred to the society as educa-
tional rather than aubusiness Organi-
cation. The movement is speeding
up. and has become national in its
scope. .6.
1--WE hope in very short time to
have from the national government
the same assistance we ask Of North
Dakota. The eyes of co-operators
everywhere are on this legislature,
and we wish to offer you gentlemen
our heartiest cooperation and any as
or information which we may
have at our disposal"
Chicago Man Talks.
"The declaration of independence Is
a myth, even to many politicians who
should really know something about
it," said L. P. Straube. "A govern
ment which does not represent the
will of the people should be torn down
and built up again."
Mr.. Straube commented particularly
on the courteous treatment accorded
by the legislators, different, he stated,
from the reception he had found for
similar organizations in other states.

Linpieums are printed by means Of

machine contains devices for keeping
the blocks wet with liquid color as the
goods pass beneath them. 1t also has
a long table on which the linoieum
moves forward q little bit at time,
getting q new color at each step. At
ter printing. the goods are again hung
up In warm room to set the coiors.
Then they are ready for market. In
cutting the blocks for printing lin
oieums, which Is very complicated
process, every line and dot Is worked
out separately by electric machinery
guided by hand. The simplest design
OF three or four colors involves the
cutting out of thousands Of distinct
printing surfaces.
