con SCRIPT
IS DEMOCRACY.
DECLARES LOUIS.
F. POST TODAY.
Assistant Secretary Of
Labor Addresses Fargo
Business Men

"Conscription is democracy; VOL
unteering is not. We conscript men
for jury duty. You know how much
chance a man would have If he vol
unteered to serve on a jury.
So declared Louis F. Post, assist
ant secretary of labor in an address
before 200 members of the Fargo Ro-
tary, Town Criers and Commercial
clubs in Moose hall at 1890 o'clock
this afternoon, on the correlation Of
labor in the winning of the war and
the human side Of the labor ques-
ton.
Mr. Post also discussed the causes
leading up to the war, declaring that
Germany by defining a dead line to
American shipping, declared war on
America February /, 1917, and as
truly conducted war against Amer
lea as If troops had been landed on
American soil until April 8, when
America entered the war.
Il am in favor of CONSUMPTION Of
the labortng man and the business
man just the same as we conscript
the soldier, but not for the profit of
any other man." said Mr.. Post. They
should work for the government Just
the same as the soldier, and it should
be for the government to say Just
where every man from IL to 70 or 30
should perform his service, whether
it be as private, as an officer, a
laborer or an employer.
Mr.. Post touched upon the human
side Of labor, declaring that many
business men looked on labor as an
item in production rather than fac
tor in production, and that the So
called shortage Of labor was not ex-
actly shortage, but the result Of
faulty distribution.
Mr.. Post recited the history Of the
United States department Of labor,
stating that it's program was in the
interest Of all labor.

weeks before deciding just what he
would do At the church meeting Sat

about the great advancement OF the
Peoples Presbyterian Church under

present pastor. In the musical realm
Of Denver, his church is amongst tho
leaders in choral work and leads in
giving sacred cantatas.
Denver has gained much thru his
efforts along musical lines and his d.

Denver would lose valuable musical
factor in her community life. While

CAPITOL PETROLEUM PLANNING
TO GO AFTER GusHERs.

The Capitol Petroleum Company
have been operating in the shallow
territory of Kansas and Oklahoma for
the past eight or nine months, where
they have quite number of produc-
ing wells. 1t is in these fields that
nearly all OF the big oil companies
got their start, and then gradually
worked into the deep territory. The
Capitol, like the other big successful
companies, intends to do likewise, and
are planning to go after the gushers
in the near future.
The shallow drilling is inexpensive,
safe and steady production is almost
a certainty, and while the deep drill
ing is more of a gamble, It does make
the big fortunes. In other words. the
shallow drilling brings the bread and
butter" and the deep drilling brings
the diamonds and luxuries"
Capitol now has an income from
production which makes the Company
self-supporting with dividend fund
growing. but with additional capital
they will carry on q moro extensive
drilling campaign.
