stated.

Both capital and labor claimed advantage in the frs. day Of the
nationwide strike Of steel workers, called TO force the amortization
of one of Americas greatest industries.
Judge Gary. head of the United States Steel corporation, e
fused to make a statement, but various company officials in the at.
fected districts stated that not more. than 10 to 20 per cent of the
workers had struck in the Pittsburgh district, and that while a
slightly larger percentage struck in some localities, the strike was
SO tar a failure as an effort to tie up the industry.
Union officials declared the strike was effective, = indicating
their belief that about 100000 men were out.
Reports early this afternoon Indicated chat the strike was effec-
ave generally in the Chicago, Ohio, Indiana and Colorado districts,
was only partially effective in tbePittshurgh district and was gen
orally non-effectiye in Alabama.
In The great strategic centers of the struggle, the Chicago and
Pittsburgh districts, many thousands of workers obeyed the strike
order, but reports stated that comparatively Few plants in the Pitts
burgh district had beer compelled to close.
Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board OF directors Of the steel
corporation, refused to make any comment on the situation.
Outside the great pivotal states of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylva-
mia, conditions were reported nearly normal, with a few important
exceptions. At 1ufalo, where the great independent plants of the
Lackawanna Steel Company are located, the union chiefs claimed
that 10 per cen: of the workers had oheyed the strike call. At
Wheeling, v. Va, it was asserted that 5000 men were idle, and the
Colorado Fuel & Iron Company;s plant at Pueblo, Colo, was closed
down when its 1000 employees walked out.

BEST WAY TO READ A BOOK.
Best way to read a book I know,
Is get a lad Of SIX or so, =
And curl him UP upon my knee
Deep in a big arm chair. where We
Can catch the warmth Of blazing
Goals,
And then let two contented souls
Melt into one, old age and youth,
Sharing adventures marvellous truth.
I read a page. and then we sit
And talk 1t over, bit by bit:
Just how the pirates looked, and why
They flung a black flag to the sky
We pass no paragraph without Z,
First knowing what it's all about
And when the author starts a fight
We join the forces that are right.
We're deep in Treasure Island, and
From Spy Glass Hill we've viewed the
Through thickets dense we've fol.
lowed Jim.
And shared the doubts that came to
him. 4.
We've heard Cap. smollett arguing
there
with Long John Silver. saunt and
spare
And m~asteSing our many fears
We've battied with those buccaneers.
Best way to read a book I've found
Is have a little boy around, /,
And take him up upon your knee
Then talk about the tale, till he
Lives it and feels it, just as you,
And shares the great adventure, too.
Books have q deep and lasting Joy
For him who reads them to his boy.

The Present
Political Situation
OF North Dakota
(By Vincent Wehrlc, Bishop of
-Bfsmarck)

1t may seem strange that a Bishop
should write on the political situation
of'the state in which his diocese is To-
Gated; but there are sometimes polit-
ical conditions more or less in oppo-
sition to the. natural law; and when
ever such conditions exist or threat
en- to come into existence. it be-
comes the strict duty of the bishop
to instruct his people. This Isl the
is intended first for my own diocese:
but I hope that other fellow citizens
will not take amiss the words of one
who for fully thirty years has scontin=
ually worked in helping to build up
the. commonwealth of the state of
North Dakota.
1. The Nonpartisan League.
Two years ago we had in North
kind Of revolution. A few energetic
men organized within a few weeks
the so-called Nonpartisan League.
Members Of the different parties
Joined together under the aegis of
Reform; nearly the whole farmer
population took up the movement,
and at the elections the Nonpartisan
League gained the biggest victory.
Thus the Nonpartisan League has
6dlAeu COHIEOl OIL INC legislature anu
Is over the whole state the leading
party. The same movement has
spread over man other states and is
still strong in spite of all opposition.
2. What has led the farmers into the
N~onpartisan League.
The farmers are usually the most
conservative body of citizens; they
stand nan an act Of i'll treatment
before they rebel; they have much re-
spect for the laws Of their country.
When they, therefore, break with old
party lines in such large numbers,
they must have their grievances.
Most Of these are not specifically
North Dakotan, but common in near
ly every state. The old parties, re-
publican and democratic, had often
enough promised to remove some OF
these grievances, but for years they
brought extremely little relief.
The principal grievances are:
A. Against railroad companies.
Excessive freight rates and frequent
discrimination in rates in favor OF
large corporations during the time
when wheat had to be rushed to the
market.
We can ins all truth say that the
state board of railroad commissioners

THE ARCHANCEL MUTINY

A. has been pointed out in connection with the mu-
Tiny Of American troops at Archangel, it is a rare thing
Tor American soldiers to refuse to fight. 1t is rare, but
not unprecedented. In 1881 starving revolutionary
troops refused to obey orders. In 1912 American militia
refused to cross the Niagara river to aid hard-pressed
REGULARS, on the ground that they could not constitution
ally % required to serve beyond the boundaries of the
uAitaA States. And in the civil war there were not a few

sss1nst Of service having expired. Some of our more or

TIT because a company of American soldiers refused to

PAVING COSTS

The cost of paving, like the cost of anything else. is
the cash cost. regardless of the interest which may be re-
quired on account of deferred payments. There is a dis
position, which, crops out often in connection with public
improvements, to combine principal and interest> and to
say that the total lis the real cost of Improvement. If a
man buys a wagon for 800, that is the cost Of the wagon.
He may pay the amount in cash. or, through any one of
a nuraber of processes, he may borrow tn, money and
pay interest on it. II he borrows the sum at 6 per cent
for one year he will pay $1o6. But he does not pay that
for the wagon. He pays 800 for the wagon. and So for
the privilege Of using some other persons money for a
year. This principle holds whether the loan is obtained
for one year, or ten, or a lifetime. In private transactions
this is understood. But in relation to public improve
nents there is a tendency to treat combined principal
and interest as the cost.
The records Of the city auditor show that the cost Of
the paving in the 'B~elmont-vernon district was s175.sc
pef inside 26-foot lot. That is the sum that was paid tc
tne contractor and for engineering and incidental ex
penses. That Is the whole sum charged against the prop
erty. The owner had the privilege of paying that sum i,
cash and avoiding all future payments. For one reaso,
or another most property owners prefer to borrow tn.
money at 8 per cent and pay Off the debt in installments
In the case cited the payment u divided into, twent,
equal annual installments. with interest at 8 per cent pay
able each year on the amount unpaid. Thus, in the cas-
OF the south end district. the first payment was s1s.z5
and the next Sass. The amount will diminish regular
ly each year until the final payment viii be a trifle owe
$500
This procedure will be followed in connection viii
all paving done on any o. the projects now contemplated
IT = important that the taxpayer Ahould understand tha
the cost of the improvement will be the principal sun,
and that he may pay that sum in a lump or borrow tn
amount on twenty years Tina, - may be Hostconvfnisa
