DAN MUST BE SOME JOKER

MIR. Daniel Guggenheim is only president OF
the American Smelling & Refining Co., but ne
might have won undyng fame and much emolu-
ment on the lecture platform as the greatest living
economical humorist We draw this opinion from
Dams annual report Of his company's doings last
year. ,
lowing" says Dan, Ito governments doing
contract and other business Of great magnitude on
a basis of cost plus commission contractors have
40 interest in holding labor costs at point where
profits can be made.
It is q funny situation when the GuggenheIn1s
cannot skin or have no interest in sklnnlng labor
for profits.
Another thing, reports Dan, is that the govern
ment's fixing of prices of metal products leopard
ICES the ability of the company to pay fair return
to it's stockholders. Then, Dan reports that his
corpany's earnings for the year, after general
expenses, fixed charges and taxes, aggregated
S25,035, 1888, earnings applicable to the common
stock equalling 2212 per cent.
There must be lively streak Of hulnor in an
economist who can talk about his concern beng
ieopardized by common stock drawing l2t2 all
velvet.

AN EDITORIAL BY A CAPITALIST


"The big idea is that this country has to
get ships-and get them in hurry. We've
got to get bridge of ships across the At
lantic.
1--WE can bungle the whole thing by con-
scripting labor. Or we can build ships fas-
ter and faster by displaying cooperative
attitude
ITS mistake to try to get more out OF
man than he is able to give. On the other
hand, we expect to get fair days work
for fair days pay.
American workmen will get ships into
the water unless we blunder on the labor
problem. We have learned that labor will
respond when labor feels that it is getting
lust consideration. Our job is to see that
labor feels that way.

Who's skinner? A natural question, Here is
the answer:
Skinner is president of the Skinner & Eddy

Here's why it is some corporation:
Skinner & Eddy have broken two worlds rec
ords in speedy shipbuilding in the last two months.
They completed and put to sea the first ship to be
delivered to Uncle Sans shipping board in l46
days This was the S. S. Seattle, which steamed
out Of Seattle harbor, January IA, after just that
clngth Of time on the ways, counting from the DAY
her keel was laid.

WHEREIN THE DRIVE SUCCEEDED

First thing. right off the reel, the German
drive awakened America as this country never
was awakened before!
Hindenburg may rush on through the break in
British lines. The horde Of Huns he is forcing
through rivers of German blood may retake Bau-
paume They may devastate the whole of northern
France. They may level every French port lhey
may destroy Paris. They may drive every allied
soldier out Of France.
And that is all the war machine of Wilhelm and
Hindenburg can 90.
This possible, but not probable, result of the
German drive, would bring more horrible suffering
to the brave French people, and it might even
crush that gallant nation into temporary sub
mission under the iron heel Of the oppressive con-
queror.
But it will strengthen Englands resolve to
fight on and on bequeathing democracy's war to
their children's children oppressive conqueror.
Should the improbable happen, and the Hun
stand victor over the PROSTATE form of France, ne
still will have to do what he set out to do long be-
fore he plunged the world into war. He will have
to leave behind him his poison gas his trained land
fighters, his 76-mile guns, and 60 out upon the
waters, to gain the world domination for which he
became the wholesale murderer he now is.
The United States has for the first time aWak-
ened to it's supremest duty and it's greatest might.
The Hindenburg drive through British lines has
shown US that war has come to US in reality and IN
dead earnestness. It is as though the horrld hand
OF the Hun groped through the brltlsn preak anu
clutched its bloody fingers about hunting for the
throat of America! And we see the hand: We
see those fingers dripping with crimson dye Of
human hearts. We are not afraid. We are not
palic-stricken We are not quaking.
But we are more in fighting mood now than
ever before!
That Wilhelm and Hindenburg, is the fruit
the real fruit-of your successes" in northern
France" What you did was to sound the alarm to
America We now know that we must put aside
every other consideration, pleasure, recreation,
business for that of war. From now on until this
war ends in world victory for world democracy the

the farm. This is democracy where majorities
must rule. The farmer should and will rule North
Dakota, and when the farmer does rule we shall
find vast improvement over present conditions
But that improvement could not come under the
Nonpartisan league as originally constituted, with
few professional politicians, a cheap denagogue
or two and bevy of red flag socialists absolute
ly controlling it's destinies. In all it's history,
North Dakota never has suffered such gang rule
as has prevailed during the last year. The reported
farmers revolution their alleged declaration of
independence are most favorable signs of a return
of sanity.

THE DAWN OF REASON.


Word comes from Fargo that out of the rather
stormy state convention of the Nonpartisan league
the farmers of North Dakota have won a great
victory-the right to manage their own political
organization in their own state as other political
organizations are managed in other states.
Down at the bottom the Nonpartisan league is
purely political. The various economic schemes
which Mr.. Townley has fostered are managed by
Mr. Townley and few of his lieutenants. The
rank and file of the farmers who make up the
league have little to do with these enterprises
cept to finance them.
North Dakota farmers have been wise enough
to realize that their party heading toward the
rocks It was managed and directed by small
coterie of men, who had their headquarters in St.
Paul Things were done under the direction of
these men which cast discredit upon the farmers
party, things which did not truly represent these
farmers. "s5#f
Now if The Tribune's information is correct,
the farmers have wrested from the political bos-
SEES of their party the right to name their own

of five, to be selected by the farmers by popular
vote-five men who are North Dakotans who

LEAGUE MONEY
STARTED STORE
HASTINGS MAKES STATEMENT;
PUBLICATION OF CHECK FOL-
LIWED BY MORE EVIDENCE.

Fargo, Oct. 1.-THE publication of
q $4,000 check that passed from the
Consumers United Stores Company
70 the National Nonpartisan League
has had a disquieting effect among
the Socialists who direct the league
affairs.
For months the Socialists and their
organizers have been preaching the
gospel that the stores company and
the league had nothing in common,
and that the stores were entirely in
dependent of the league.
Now John Hastings has come for
ward with the confession that it was
Nonpartisan league money that start
ed the stores. Hastings claims that
the check, the authenticacy Of which
he admits, was drawn as a payment
for a loan, and the company brought
suit for $50, 900 against a Fargo bank
which it charges permitted the check
to ebcome public.
The net results of the publication
Of the check apparently has been the
exposure Of the direct connection be-
tween the Consumers United Stores
company and the Nonpartisan league:
the fact that the money paid by the
farmers for political purposes was
used in establishing a private corpor-
alton, and that there is a very close
communion Of interests between a cor
poration and a political organization,
q thing forbidden by the state cor
rupt practices act.
