SMOKES IMPORTANT
IN FIGHTING WAR

LONDON, Aug. 21.-This war. a
London paper points out. is the firss
great conflict In history which has
been fought on tobacco.
In all previous years the nations
engaged have supplied their fighters
more or less generously with food,
equipment and munitions. but rarely
with luxuries- In the present war
public and private agencies have been
working from the outset in all the
belligerent countries to provide the
soldiers with little extras" and the
chief of these has been tobacco.
To British soldiers almost un-
countable millions OF cigarettes and
hundreds of tons of pipe tobacco have
been sent. duty free. But despite
these enormous shipments. the con-
sumption of tobacco in the British
Isle has steadily increased. The cost
of tobacco has climbed from 12 cents
to IS cents a pound for the low-grade
dark American product. and a light
China tobacco used for blending pur-
poses has jumped from IL cents TO 96
cents a pound.
Anxiety and nervous strain. in
separable from a great war. are held
responsible for the increase in smok-
ing at home. Testimony from the
front is that without generous sup
plies of tobacco the men could not
withstand the strain of continuous
conflict
England's chief source of supply is
the United States, and the fear is
here that owing to the
wars possible interference with pro-
duction there and an increased home
demand. the amount available for this
may be materially lessened.
Bonded stocks here are even now dan
gerously depleted owing to decreased
imports
France and Italy, with less eXten-
sive sources of supply, have spared
no efforts to meet the tobacco needs
OF their soldiers and the same is true
OF Germany.
The London press is speculatinE
whether it may not yet become nee
essary to institute some system of to-
bacco rationing for those smokers not
engaged in productive war work.

Marsh fever is regarded as having
done as much toward devastating
the country as years OF war. FOR

For centuries the Macedonians nave

Amelioration Of this condition must
come before the real development oil

with the most primitive tools and

Motor and tractor implements, max

SELB-KOFFEL LETTER

Mr.. John Selb of Drake strikes the proper key
note in his letter to Theodore Koffel. The time
has come for Republicans who believe in the prin-
cples of the party of Lincoln to unite for the
fict Of 1920 upon strictly Republican lines. Moth
ing can be gained now by continuing the bi-part-
isan arrangement. 1t is too visionary, too imprac-
tical, hybrid political organism concocted as an
eleventh hour makeship in the hopes of defeating
socialists masquerading as Republicans.
It served one good purpose which Mr.. Selb prob
ably will admit when through bipartisan union,
opposition against the amendments was crystal
lied. That much was accomplished. For this due
credit has been given But as Mr.. Seb logically
points out, to continue the alliance would be fatal
From practical standpoint, a perpetuation of the
organization is impossible.
A number Of Republicans united on Doyle because
they could not support the platform which the Re-
publican organization put forward. It was Repub-
lican in name only. Socialism cannot always con-
tinue to wear Republican mask in North Dakota.
The issues in 1920 will be well defined and if signs

BISMARCK AND RECONSTRUCTION

Just where to gather up the loose ends and
splice them into orderly program for recon-
struction is a most difficult task. Bismarck in
common with cities both large and small must take
stock as soon as possible and decide upon wise
business reconstruction
When the war broke out this city was just COM
pleting it's paving pro- ect and had under consid-
Grafton extension, but mounting costs and labor
shortage incident to war prevented realization
1t is too early yet to determine what public work
should be started in the spring. The bject is
one for earnest thought and careful consideration.
municipalities are being urged to resume public
improvements as soon possible so as to assist in
solving the labor problems that due to confront
every locality when the men mustered out of mil
itary service begin to arrive from camps and from
overseas.
Bismarck must meet this situation in absolute
fairness to the men who gave up their positions
and cheerfuly went forth to battle with the hosts
of autocracy. There should be some agency Or
gained at once to cooperate with the federal labor
bureau so that Bismarck will be ready to place men
in positions as speedily as is consistent with pres
ent conditions.
Here it would seem is the first duty of the Com
mercial Club. An energetic committee should be
named to meet with the federal agents and plans
laid to relieve the suspense of those boys who are
awaiting their discharge from military service,
always wondering whether they can secure work
)at home.
1t will be some time before the present labor
shortage will be met. Enough men have not been
released to disturb conditions. Many industries
are suffering from dearth of skilled labor. A
perusal of the columns of the daily press proves
that the first soldiers to be mustered out will be
absorbed easily without any disturbing results.
Now is the time to prepare against that day
when men cannot be as easily placed. Bismarck
must not lag. She must meet this reconstruction
problem theoretically and efficiently as she met
all the war problems.
The time to prepare is NOW.
AS the boys come home in ,twos and three, they
should be received cordially and then what is more
important steps taken to place them in as good po-
sitions as they left.
The Tribune hopes to discuss other reconstruc-
ton problems from time to time but the urgent
duty just is to prepare for the boys for whom
we have been keeping the home fires burning.

WHY SHOP EARLY?

Only IS more days to do your Christmas shop
ping!
Shop early But why?
Because of the annoying consequences of late
shopping.
Take the matter Of sending gifts to friends out
of town by mail or parcel post for example:
Late shopping means late mailing. Late mail
ing means a jam in the postoffice, a congestion
in the mail car and in the delivery wagons. Pack
ages bought late and mailed late may arrive days.
even weeks after Christmas
Ask your postmaster what he thinks about this
point. He can tell you lot of Illuminating things
about the results Of late shopping and late mail
ing Of gifts.
Take the matter of gift-selection. Shop late
and your choice is always limited by a depleted
pawed-over assortment Of gift goods. 1t is hamp-
cred by the WEAKNESS Of the clerks, by the rush
Of last-minute buyers and by your own necessity
for haste.
Ask any merchant, any clerk for few remarks
on these points. They'll unanimously tell you to
shop early, to shop early in the day, and to shop
today and get it over and done with.
And that's our best advice to you even if you're
thinking of sending US a red neckte!e
Shop early! Today!

league organs correctly, the Towney junta is
leaning toward the rather socialistic stand taken
by the -Baker-House alignment. The league
supported Wilson long before the war became an
ISSUE On the war and his plan of financing it, the
League baked while the Republicans of the state
stood as a unit behind the president
Now that the war is over the Republican party
is going to have it's own convictions to the eco
nomc policies to be followed in this reconstruction
era. That they will not square with the ideas OF
the North Dakota socialists who captured the Re-
publican organization goes without saying.
By all means let there be an organization of
Republicans sworn to drive socialism from under
the banners it has usurped.
If the Republicans propose to perpetuate the BIZ
partisan organization they are leaning on brok-
en- reed. In the face of the issues which will con-
front thenaton in 1920, bipartisan state organi-
zation is impossible.
1t is to be hoped that the Republican national
leaders will make no truce with Bolshevik either
in the United States or Europe. If the Democratic
party under Wilson seeks reconstruction
along socialistic lines acceptable to Townley and
his league, these socialists will easily gravitate to
the Democratic party. They care nothing for the
principles of the Republican party all they desire
is the legal machinery.
By all means organize Lincoln clubs which will
keep before the voters Republican principles for
which the present socialist interlopers have no
sympathy but only open contempt.

WHAT is AMERICA

tie about the place.
"What do you suppose is the reason that the
people of America increase faster than those IN
England?" asked one statesman.
Because they marry younger and more gen.
eray," answered the old man, in rough homespun
clothes "And young couples that are industrious
may obtain land"
"How many white men do you suppose there are
in American"
"About 100000, from 16 to 60 years.
what used to be the pride of American" asked
some lawmaker, who evidently against the
heavy taxation being imposed on the colonies
ITO indulge in the fashions and manufactures
of Great Britain answered old Franklin.
"What is now their prde?" asked this same
friend of the coonists
ITO wear their old clothes,' answered Franklin
standing in his rude homespun suit before the
mobiles of England, lover and over again, until
they can make new Ones"
"What is the number of men in America able
to bear arms?"
This was pertinent question: because, though
the Revolution of 1776 was still ten years distant,
there was talk of the colonists fighting against
taxation.
. The record Of Franklin's answer stands today
on the books of aPrliament thus:
There are, suppose, at least"- (Question OBJ

had their eager eyes and hopes fixed on the new
land.
These men and other knew that if only once,
somewhere in the world, the rule of autocracy
could be overthrown and men could be freed, that
free spot this planet would become growing
poison spot for the principle of the divine right Of
kings.
Before he left the White House for Europe Pres
ident Wilson might have stepped out on his front
porch and looked across Pennsylvania avenue
toward four statues: the figures of Lafayette,
Rochambeau, Won Steuben and Koszusco.
They right these four men, in watching
Franklin as he stood bravely before that British
Parliament; they were right in stalking their all
in the effort to make just free spot on this
earth
Today that freedom has poisoned autocracy to
death.
Today President of the United States has gone
to Europe to finish the questions that Old Ben
Franklin could not answer. Franklin could only
tell of Americas spirit and of his hopes for her
greatness.
Wilson will show what America has become.
