The elevator man was none too sure
as to how to get at the price which

considerably more about human nature
than freight rates and decided to
"check up" the problem to the nearest

So he wrote letter to the representa-.

the price of wheat at any country

There 10 only one price for wheat at

to be arrived at by taking az a basis

CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENTS

Our constitution is a set Of guaran.
tees Of protection for certain ideals Of
government, under which citizens OF
this state have built and are building
homes, and otherwise employ their
earnings in the pursuit of welfare and
happiness. To make any extensive
change in these guarantees (amend-
ing the constitution is to interfere
seriously with the plans and property
of home owners and all citizens who
are affected. 1t is therefore important
thu - should be very careful in adj
..4g or bringing about any such
changes for fear we bring about con-
ditions that might injure ourselves
and our noighbors.
Reali' .ng even that the best of us
sometimes get excited and hastily do
things that are damaging to ourselves,
provision was wisely made in our con-
stitution so we could not disturb it
without tt lapse Of sufficient time to
take second thought.
An extensive disturbance OF our
constitution is now proposed in the
form of number Of amendments. 1T
is therefore time for us to take Sec
ond thought.
The constitutional amendments th-.t
are proposed should be carefully stud
led and info ion pertaining o
them obtain ."om any and every
source possil that we may vote
wisely at the al election. Some Of
them may be ,od and some very dam
gerous. They should be discussed from
now until time to vote. For that pur-
pose the attention of our readers is
called to an analysis Of some of the
amendments in this issue as presented
by the people who question the wis
dom of adopting them.

So it happened that the three faith
ers found themselves working Shout
der to shoulder in a great campaign
for funds.
Not as Catholic and Protestant
and Jew--but as good citizens unit
ed in common cause.
And as they worked, they came to
know each other, and they were
ashamed that for so many years they
had been strangers side by side.
"Surely this is one Of the compen-
sations Of war;" they said, chat in
our deeper love for our boys we have
learned new respect for one an
other"
So a new spirit was born into that
city. As though in it's heart it had
discovered something Of the greater
religion, whose God is Father; and
whose faith and creed are love.

herself with an iron band around her,

In a certain city dwell three men.
And by accident Of birth one of them
is Catholic and one is Protestant
and one is Jew.
For thirty years they have engag-
ed in business side by side, and the
Catholic has not dealt with the Prot
estant; and the Catholic and the Prot
est have had no dealings with the Jew
"What is he to me ?" each man has
said. "He is not of my faith: I will
avoid him."
So for thirty years they have dwell
together, strangers in a friendly
world.
Then came the shadow of fearful
war. And out Of these three homes
three boys went forth alone. Three
fathers waited heart-worn for the let
terA from over there.
'There are Soldiers of Friend!iress
over here" the boys wrote home
"They bring US chocolate, and motion
pictures, and baseball, and good lee
lures; and the memory of mother anc
of God"
"Help those friendly agencies wher
you have the chance" each boy wrote
home.

What is the use of a primary cleo
ton law, anyway? Many of our read
ers will remember well, the days of
the old county conventions when first
one political gang was in control and
then the other. A cry went up from
all over the state for primary cleo
ton law where voters could express
themselves as to their preference Of
candidates. When the law was pass
ed, it was presumed that defeated
candidates would take their medicine,
so no provision was made prohibiting
them from becoming candidates in the
fall election. Some states wisely in
corporated this provision in their law,
but not North Dakota. In the primary
election held in Ward county in June,
the following candidates for the Leg
islature from the 29th district were

Germany is in a pretty pickle. The
Kaiser and the German people un-
doubtedly desire peace most sincerely
and are calling on the Allies to show
mercy. At the same time they do
not appear to desire to throw away
their arms, which is about the only
way they can get Foch and his armies
to cease hostilities. The Kaiser is
trying to get the world to believe
that the form Of government for Ger.
many has actually been changed and
that hereafter war cannot be started
without the sanction of the Reichstag,
but the old fellow has told so many
falsehoods that he can't get anyone
outside of Germany to believe him.
The ks..-er would be satisfied to be-
come a perpetual president with ABOUT
The same power of the King Of Eng
land. He feels himself slipping and
doesn't want to give up his throne en-
tirely.

When President Wilson came out
with his statement that he desired
Democratic congressman elected be-
cause he wanted to be surrounded by
men in entire sympathy with his war
policy, and further to show the world
that he had his country solidly back
of him, he started good-sized rum
pus in the camp Of the Republican
national headquarters. Hays, the re-
publican chairman, made a statement
showing that the republicans have
supported the presidents war pro-
gram fully as well as the democrats,
many of whom have not always been
in the fullest accord with the presi-
dents program. Mr.. Hays pointed
out that at least half of the boys in
the trenches are republicans and stat
ed that there can be no good reason
why republicans as we'll as democrats
cannot take part in shaping Ameri-
cas- policy in the war as well as the
important program she will have to
adopt at the close of the war. Col
onel Roosevelt "riz" right up and had
something to say about electing Grub
Der stamps" in Congress. To many of
us, it appears that party politics ought
not to consume much of our time
which ought to be devoted entirely to
winning the war. The President
should have, and undoubtedly does
have, the support Of every loyal men,
Der of Congress, whether he be repub-
lican or democrat.

1t would seem that they, having won
the election, should receive the sup
port of the defeated candidates them
selves, but not so. Two of the defeated
candidates have apparently disregard

Germany is doomed to defeat and
well that nation knows it, yet she is
far from being vanquished. She has
been pushed back for a good many
miles, but she is still able to put up a
mighty hard fight and the Allies real
ize this fully. When Germany started
out with her offensive in March, she
was prepared to lose million men if
necessary to accomplish her purpose.
She made bold stroke, knowing that
she had to win in 1918 or never She
failed to take Paris and Calais and
did not separate the British and the
