NORTH DAKOTA
COOL TO WILSON
Responseless Audience of
!, 500 Hears Address at
Bismarck.

Bismarck, N. D.. Sept 1o.-If
North Dakota wants a league Of
nations it gave no tangible evil
dence OF the fact to President Will
son here today.
Fresh from enthusiastic gather
ings at both St. Paul and Mime
apolis, he rode full tilt against the
hard-handed. sun-browned farmers
of the great Northwest. and found
them hostile to the thing that is
nearest his heart.
AppIauded Nine Times.
Fifteen hundred persons heard
his argument practically in silence
in the auditorium here, and when
he had completed it they took stock
and allowed as how they would
preserve their own ideas.
This little town boasts Of popula-
tion of 1000 and it is estimated at least
10000 persons had come in for the
big event of the year, the Presi-
dents visit. They were glad to see
him, to be sure, but this day in
North Dakota was the frostiest one
of the trip and this despite a ra-
diant sun that warmed the body
and settled a haze of heat upon
the foothills. The chilliness and
apathy. though. far exceeded that
Of even Omaha or Columbus.
Nine times during the Presidents
address did he receive applause. and
one of those was when he painted a
frightful picture of Russia under
Trotsky and Lenine, and told how
they now branded their soldiers. This
portion of his speech was deemed
a rebuke for the rampant radicalism
found here.
Inseparable from World.
The President was introduced by
Gov. Lynn ] Frazier, the Nonparti-
san executive of the State.
Only once, it seemed. did the Presi-
dent try to warm up to his audience
He asked the men where they would
sell their wheat if America was cut
off from the rest OF the world. At
no time did he mention the name of
Senator McCumber, representative of
this State.
You can't disentangle the United
States from the rest of the world"
he said after ten minutes of elocution.
and this drew the first applause.
Some men among US don't know
whether we want to go in or not. but
we know"
The President said it was impos-
sible to separate the league
covenant from the rest of the treaty
because it is the only thing that
will make the rest of the world
volume work" He termed article
10 IAN open and shut security
strange that every other nation had
stopped debating the peace treaty
and America alone debates whether
we shall have peace or war"
Stny Out and No Peace.
The President said that when Con-
gress passed the last naval appro-
priation bill it gave him authority
to cancel the program in the event
that he could get an arrangement
between the powers of the world
similar to the arrangement we now
have"
America is the only nation whose
guarantee will suffice to substitute
discussion for war" he said. 'Iso-
lation is impossible. If we stay out
or qualify this treaty in any es-
sential way. there can be no peace"

DROUGHT VICTIMS
GET LOWER RATES
ADMINISTRATION ORDERS SPEC
iAL SCHEDULE FOR FEED AND
= CATTLE SHIPMENTS
Favorable Report Had on Amendment
TO Agricultural Bill for Relief Of
mesteaders.-Relief for
Stockgrowers.

n Washington. u. C.-Definite relief
dor stockgrowers in the drought-strick-
en- regions Of the northwest was Tues
day ordered by the railroad admins
tratiOn, both in the matter of reduced
rates on feed going into these areas
and on the shipment of livestock out.
In memorandum sent to Senators
Myers and Walsh of Montana, the rail-
road administration said that in order
10 cope with the unprecedented
drought conditions and to prevent loss
of stock by starvation, il is deemed
essential TO publish special freight
rates which will enable growers TO
ship in feed 10 keep as great a num-
Der as possible of their breeding ami
mails on the home ranges and, where
II becomes necessary to move animals
10 feed, that freight rates for return
movement be published which will en-
courage their return.
The administration therefore. has
ordered into effect half rates on hay,
grain and feed. including cottonseed
cake. These rates viii continue until
April l next, unless sooner changed or
extended.
On cattle and sheep shipped out of
the drought areas. full rates will be
paid, but if these cattle and sheep are
later returned the rate for their return
shall be only one-third of the normal
rate, thus offering an incentive to re-
turn stock after the drought has
passed Stock, to get advantage of
this low return rate, must be shipped
back before June 1, 1920. The same
transit rates now provided on sheep
will be extended to apply on cattle,
horses and hogs. with time limit for
months.

HOUSE APPROVES DRY MEASURE
Fifty-two Democrats and Forty-eight
Republicans Vote in Opposition.

Washington. ID. C.-By a vote of
nearly three TO one, the house, weary
of talk on prohibition, with provisions
and penalties SO drastic as TO bring
from the men who framed it the pre-
dictiOn that il would forever suppress
the liquor traffic on American soil.
Exactly 100 members fifty-two
Democrats and fOrty-eight Republicans
refused to support it. Against the
even hundred, the prohibitionists, put
ting up a solid front to the very last,
polled 2S7 votes, and just as the result
was announced a little girl in the gal
derry. too young to know what ii all
was about. leaned over the railing and
waved a tiny American flag. 1t was
not a signal for that, but the house
broke into applause; the galleries were
only half-filled, meanwhile looking on
in silence.
A broad smile spread over the faces
of the prohibition leaders, for their
work was ready for the senate, where
many of its restrictions may be modi-
fled or stricken out. The cloakroOm
rumOr persisted that all of this leg
isIative effort might end on the shoal
,of a presidential veto, although the
general view was that it would be
signed as passed.
