UNRESTRAINED
SELFISHNESS

The Presidnet, in his message
says:
"Recent experience has convinced
me that the congress must go fur
Their in authorizing the government
to set limits to prices. The law of
supply and demand, l am sorry to
say, has been replaced by the law
of unrestrained selfishness. While
we have eliminated profiteering in
several branches Of industry, it still
runs impudently rampant in others.
The farmers, for example, complain
with great deal Of justice that,
while the regulation Of food prices
restricts their incomes, no restraints
are placed upon the price Of most
of the things they must themselves
purchase; and similar CAPABILITIES OBJ
tain on all sides"
This is one Of the things that
most of the people are most inter
ested in. There is no good reason
why anybody should make a profit
on anything during this war.

WESTERN PINE
LUMBER GOES
TO 8-HOUR DAY

Last Saturday the Presidents Me-
diation Commission received tele.
gram saying the Western Pine Lum
Der Association of Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho and Montana had adopt
ed the 8-hour work day by more
than a three-fourths vote. This
cheerful news caused Secretary Will
son and President Wilson to ex-
change Fluctuations and gave cause
for hope that the West Coast Lum-
Der Manufacturers Association would
take like action.
The announcement of the Pine
Lumber people certainly brought
forth many expressions of satisfac-
ton not only from wage earners
but from business men everywhere in
the Northwest.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL

Government control of the railways
during the war. If the government
takes over the railways and shows
that it can operate them more eco

so we ask, for the good Of our nation
and our state, that you cast aside all
ideas of party lines, strip the party
label from off your back and get be-
hind a man who will stand four square
with our president on the issues now
at hand.
We know for a certainty that not
another man in the First district has
the qualifications for congressman
which Mr.. Hildreth possesses. He will
be able to express the wishes of North
Dakota upon the floor or congress IN
a manner far superior to that OF any
of the already suggested candidates
for representative. He is graduarN
of one of the foremost law schools IN
the United States. He is a man OF
progressive mind, as everyone will
admit who knows him personally, or
has read any of his many newspaper
articles. He is a man from the ground
up.
Two years ago Mr.. Hildreth was
offered the nomination for congress
man, but declined-but this time we
shall insist that he accept ii.
For the best interests Of North Da-
kota, we ask everyone of the $4,000
electors in the First district to give
their earnest support and cooperation
to Melvin Hildreth for congress.

To the Voters:
Realizing that the people OF the First
district are soon to elect a man who
will represent both our district and
our state in the house of representa-
tives at Washington, and having in
mind the critical times which are now
at hand, the Young Mems Civic league
of Fargo, takes this opportunity In
presenting as a candidate for congress.
q man whom everyone in the district
knows by name if not in person
Melvin Hildreth of Fargo and of North
Dakota.
Every elector in the First district
knows of the work which the 1nde-
pendent Voters league did in winning
North Dakota for Woodrow Wilson
last November and most of them
know that Melvin Hildreth is the man
who made the work OF the league SO
successful. President Wilson sent Mr..
Hildreth a personal note of apprecia-
ton for the work which he did, and
the Young Mems Civic league in pre-
senting at this time the name of Mel
vim Hildreth, presents for your sup
port a man who is body and soul be-
hind our president in these trying
times. He is a man OF ideals and a
man of whom If elected. we will have
good reason to be proud.

Democrats, but in supporting Melvin

Great international Council
Will Assemble in Washington

Washington, April Assembling
of in Washington within few weeks
of IA great international war council
was foreshadowed by an announce
ment from the state department that
a British commission. headed by Ar
thur j. Balfour. minister of foreign re-
lations is expected to arrive within
ten days to discuss with the govern
ment here questions of the conduct of
the war. In addition to the foreign
minister the commission will include
Admiral De Chair of the British navy,
General Bridges of the army and the
governor of the Bank of England, at
tended by numerous staff.
This was as far as the announce
ment made by the state department
goes. but it was learned authoritatively
that a French commission composed
of officials and officers equally as dis
tinguished as the British representa-
tives, will be in Washington about the
same time. This commission will be

The "Incomina Flood Of Gold"

That movement has certainly been
remarkable enough to disturb the
financial brain. During the two years
since the flow of European COLO to our
markets began. at the end of 1914,
receipts OF the precious metal at AM
erican ports reached the prodfgious
sum of $1,13S.0 100000. In 1915 we inn
ported $452.000,000 gold; in 1916, $685.
100000. Even the moderate Offset of
some $160.000.000. sent by us to South
American and other markets in the
period was counterbalanced by the
two-year production of 100000, 900
new gold from American mines.
The result of this movement as
shown by the government reports. was
to increase by $1.03S. 600 900 the stock
of gold in the United States. What
this meant to the countrys money
supply may be Judged from the fact
that the largest gains in that supply
during any previous two-year periods
were the $205,000,00 increase OF 1873
and 1880. when resumption OF specie
payments drew back great sums of
gold which the country had previous
~ lost to Europe, and the $246, 600, 900
OF 1905 and 1906. when we were bor-
rowing heavily in Europe to support
at home an enormous trade and
speculation.-Alexan Dana Noyes,
