AGREEMENTS WITH THE l. w. W.

In addition to his other achievements, Mr. Townley
proposes to arrange for the importation into the state.

sands of farm laborers, members of that organization
and he attempts to justify this by saying that the same
whereas it is now proposed that they shall come under
agreement as to prices and conditions of labor, which will
relieve the farmers Of all uncertainty as to their supply
Of labor.
He admits that men Of criminal tendencies will be
among these importations, but asserts. as an offset, that
there are criminals in other groups of men, as. Tor In
stance, lawyers and newspaper men.
We do not, as a rule. make contracts with men who
VIGOROUSLY have no regard for contracts. One of the es-
sential principles Of the I. W. W. is that there shall be nc
regard for contracts. 1t Is true that there are scoundrels
in every occupation. But. when an organization is based
on the very principles of scoundrelisrn, it is condemned
without further hearing, even though there may be SOM
honest men in It's rank.
When the farmers of North Dakota make contract
with the I. ". W-if they do-they are making con
tracts by which they themselves may be bound. but which
have no binding force on the other party. They are con
tracing with an organization in whose published docu

uttered the doctrines that the laborer may disregard an.
meaning the willful destruction of property or the hin
drance Of work, is a legitimate weapon Of the laborer
and that no matter how high wages are paid to the man
ual laborer, he is entitled to get more if he can, and o.
any means that he can use. It is with this criminal as
sociation that Townley proposes that the farmers o
North Dakota shall enter into contracts.

Grand Forks, July II, ID. 10, 20 and
81. Miss S%tinson's engagement is one
Of the proofs Of the fact that the state
fair this year will be bigger and bet
ter than ever"
Miss Stinson became famous a cou-
pie OF years ago, when she startled
the aviation world by performing all
Of Lincoln Beachy's most thrilling
tricks. Miss Stinson went Beachy one
forming "air stunts" that famous
and fearless birdman v thought
of. Then came her trip to Japan and
her wonderful success in that country,
where she CAV the greatest airplane
exhibitions the Japanese ever had
seen. She was entertained and feted
by royalty, and everywhere she went,
she was acclaimed as the e~mancipator
Of woman.
Flew for Red Gross.
Last week, she flew from Albany,
N. Y, to Washington, D. c., in the
interests Of the Red Cross campaign
smashed Of Beachy's old records,
that for a flight from New York to
Philadelphia.
During her engagement in Grand
Forks-which calls for two flights a
day, during each one of which h will
perform her thrilling air stunts-she
will be engaged in some kind Of Red
Cross work. Plans for this feature are
being worked out, and there is no
doubt that she will perform something
novel and thrilling.
Miss Stinson's record-breaking flight
for the Red Cross was made on Mon
day, June rs. She piloted her machine
safely into Washington, landing on
the Polo grounds, south Of the Wash
ington monument at 7:45 O'Clock that
evening after a straight sail in three
relays from Albany, in which she 90

Miss Stinson, a pretty southern girl.
but also the longest aerial fight in a
single day that any aviator had made
Buffalo. where she started, to Wash
ington over the route covered by Miss
Stinson was $40 miles. This was COW

Miss St1nson left Buffalo at 1850
o'clock Sunday morning and arrived at
Albany at 6:45 that evening. Spend
ing the night in Albany. h resumed
her journey at 10 o'clock Monday
morning for New York, arriving al
Governors Island at 1918 and leaving
at 2 o'clock for Philadelphia. She
stopped at Philadelphia from 1920 tt

the head Of some 5000 troops declared for the return OF
the Manchu dynasty to the imperial throne, and for a
day or two 1t seemed that the republic was at an end,
and that the hated Manchus were again to reign! Later
1t appears that the republican forces are successfully
withstanding the rebels, but the situation In Picking Is
considered grave, as an outbreak of footing Is feared.
In East St. Louis there has occurred one Of those
.outbursts Of race hatred which now and then have given
to the United States the reputation Of being a lawless ma
ton. The trouble seems to have started over the im-
portation Of colored laborers from the South. and several
hundred persons who were born white raided the negro
quarters. set fire to buildings. and shot and otherwise
maltreated the blacks who were trying to escape. Some
80 persons were killed, and immense property loss was
sustained.
Federal authorities have been kept busy ferrettng
out the facts as to plots of various kinds. One concern
ing which there appears to be conclusive evidence is
that German agents have been responsible for the series
of accidents which have caused the loss of considerable
shipping on the Great Lakes. 80
North Dakota's new regiment Of the National Guard
is to have former Governor Frank White as its colonel,
and former Adjutant General Tharalson as its lteuten-
ant colonel. Excellent time was made In the recruiting,
and the companies will be ready for their equipment as
soon as it can be issued.
Canada is to have CONSUMPTION as soon as the law
recently passed can be put into effect, The vote by
which the bill was passed was about three to one In its
favor. the ordinary administration majority being in
creased by the votes Of many Liberal members who re-
fused to follow Sir Wilfred Laurier in his opposition to
the bill and in favor of first submitting it to a popular
vote. Most of the opposition comes from Quebec, where
the French sentiment Is strongly opposed to Canadian
participation in the war.
The Chicago board of trade has followed its recent
in dealing in wheat futures by a similar rule
with reference to speculation in corn futures. The price
for settlement of contracts has been fixed at $1.65. 1t
is expected that this step will materially reduce the
price of corn, which has been held at a level relatively
as high as that of wheat, and recently much higher than
that ratio.
The question of the right of North Dakota absent
voters to take advantage of the absent voters law in
special elections, has been brought To tine front by the

PROHIBITION Law
BEING GENERALLY OBSERVED
In SOUTH DAKOTA.

Mitchell, Sept. 29.-State Sheriff
j. Shanks, of South Dakota. is in
Mitchell on business connected with
his office, which has to do with the
enforcement of the p~rohibitory law
which went into effect on the first
day of last July. Talking of the law
and its enforcement, he said:
The people of the state have very
generally accepted the prohibition
law, which went into effect July 1, as
a real. sure enough law. and 1t is be-
ing respected and obeyed, except in
a few localities. And ii is my Off
cial business to seek out its violators
and If possible get evidence which
will cause them also to respect it.
There are some druggists in the
state who do not seem to exactly
grasp the idea that the law applies to
them, and ii may be necessary to
swell the population in the state pen
itentiary with some of the proprietors
and clerks of those violating drug
stores before they will understand
fully that the law applies to every
body"
