striking contrast the deep soemny OF these holy days

succoth refers to the wilderness soIourn Of the
sraees after the departure from Egypt when they had
no permanent dwellings but lived in booths. Historically

parts OF the country to make pilgrimage 10 Jerusalem

Offer in the Temple sacrifices TO God who youchsafed

Tho early manner of observing succoth illustrates the
democratic tendency the Jewish religion, Every family

In the United States the direct loss for the same period
was s2iO for each indiydual-and the indirect
far higher.
OF the principal causes for this discrepancy lies in
the almost universal American vice OF careessness

THE TEST
tFrom the New York Tribune 5

Today at Washington there will be-
gin national industrial conference.
Labor. capital, the proletariat, the intel
lectuals the government-all these will
be ably represented. The difficulty is
10 get the common public represented.
Formerly it was the governments
business 10 represent the great major
ity; but times and customs have greatly
changed. For example, It is announced
that The Department OF Labor has
named Bert NJ Jewell 10 represent the
public. The peace conference might as
well name Lenine TO plead the cause or
the Russian bourgeoisie.
Mr.. Jewell runs the railroad employees
department Of the American Federation
OF Labor From that position he as
sisted 10 launch the Plumb plan, which
gives to labor the privilege and profit
Of running the railroads and reserves
10 the government the responsibility
and expense Of owning them. Tie de-
rives his notoriety from the prediction
that unless all basic industries arc
speedily soclalized, according TO the
same simple soviet principle, labor will
see that the country is damned.
He is to represent The public
The conference will open without
program. II shall be free and self
determining II is In Itself a manifes-
iation Of American impulse to get to-
galher and talk a thing out
In all such efforts the FIRST condition
Of success is a common language-not
a language of the tongue Itself, but Of
The mind and heart One may talk revo-
luton and another may talk American
ism, both in The same tongue, but they
will not be speaking The same language.
Neither will understand the other.
We take IL that the fundamental con-
Germ Of this conference is America. To
bring beneficial results 20 pass, there
fore 70 must nrst establish IN an un-
ambiguous manner the traditional and
enduring language Of the American
people. II u will do this the country
win be thrilled in all IT'S parts.

sent the public challenge all partici-
pants 10 confession Of political faith

North DakOfa's Socialist
Programme Blows Up
(From the Ne W York sun.

National Service Bureau, &C. How could
the Fargo bank. under those circum-
stances, be anything but insolyentY
How can any other bank that had
been used IN the same way be any
thing but insolvent?
But, after all, the big lesson IS not
the wreck merely Of the Fargo bany.
other banks in other states have lent
out funds improperly to enterprises
and individuals that shouldn't have had
such loans other banks have carried
false or worthless collateral. Other
banks have been ruined by criminal or
reckless mismanagement. The big les
son Of the Fargo hank blowup is the
economic lunacy Of the whole Townley
scheme.
Townley's league could 60 into al
most any kind Of business. The state
could go into almost any kind Of busi-
ness. All that was necessary, accord
ing 10 the soclalistic hallucination, was
money or credit-not brains, not train
ing. not experience. not adaptabllity-
Just the opportunity, with plenty OF
money, 10 plunge into any sort OF
undertaking. Wherefore pass a State
law guaranteeing all deposits made in
the state banks That would make
everybody sure Of the banks. Then get
everybody 10 become depositors in the
banks. Then use their capital to back
all The soclallstic enterprises set afoot
by the league and by the state. How
could the state scheme fail when the
deposition was sure Of his money,
though it went TO wrong persons and
into wrong enterprises, when the en-
terprises were sure TO get all the money
they wanted? But II has failed.
How many other banks In North Ds-
kota will go the way OF the Fargo bank
nobody could say. But every one OF
them that has been in the same wild
business as The Fargo bank will go the
same way. This is sure. All the so
cialistic industries, all the socialistic
businesses, all the sOciallstic enterprises
that have been kept floating tempo
rarily by such banks will also go the
same way. This is sure. State Social
ism in North Dakota is already settled;
the voters will have TO walt to deliver
their official verdict until they can get
TO the polls on the question. Neverihe-
less, the whole socialistic program will
be stopped dead in its tracks.
Meanvhile,~we may ponder the truth
that there are TOwnleys IN other States
and other fields, without economic
knowledge. without financial training or
experience. without business sense.
without either the first or the last
qualifications for building industry
soundly or conducting business safely
there are many Townley crazy 10 get

North Dakota's state Socialism, which
is controlled and operated by the So
called Partisan League. which IT.
self is controlled and operated by A.
G. Townley, has begun 10 blow up. The
first big explosion is in the Scandi-
navian American Bank Of Fargo. Town
ley says the closing OF the Institution
by the state Banking Board was a po-
litical coup Maybe II was, in the sense
that those who have been resisting his
wildcat political league and his wildcat
state experiment took advantage Of tlie
shocking condition OF the Fargo bank
10 expose the wide and weird workings
Of Townley's league and Townley's
whole scheme.
But, politics or no politics, the fact
remains that the bank was crammed.
iammed with notes Of Townley's
league, Of subsidiary institutions with
in the league and OF individuals asso-
ciated with Townley's league or Town
ley's subsidiary corporations. The fact
remains that these loans were made
contrary TO the law in that they were
vastly in excess Of loans That could be
made legally 10 the corporations and
individuals getting the money. The fact
remains that these loans, even if they
had been within the law, were made
contrary 10 sound banking practice.
The fact remains that they were made
contrary 10 ordinary common sense.
Where there was supposed to be col
lateral under The notes, It wasn't col
lateral. Hundreds Of thousands Of dol

OF post dated checks post dated

is not desire TO deny 10 the State Highway Com
mission and the Levy Courts OF three counties
OF credit for the work they doing in the matter
of improving the public roads.
We think It exceedingly strange however, that It takes
so much longer do road work under public contract
than does under private contract and that too under
private work contracts which much dlcult OF
accomplishment than the public work contracts.
For instance, Pierre S. dupont is improving the old
Kennet Turnpike with twenty-four foot road OF the
finest quality -Four miles Of that road has been built
within three months and the work continues to progress
at high speed
The rapid progress made the Kennett Turnpike has
caused persons to wonder why equal speed cannot

projects for instance, the Delaware section OF the
Linco~ Highway and the New Castle Causewsy, which

The Creator had this in mind no doubt in making 1t
large that the elements that bring famine in part
will not affect all parts in the season.
For instance have before the special report OF
C. A. Klns and Company, Toledo, which says:
"The outstanding fact in international agricultural
statistics Is the unfalling regularity with which nature
compensates poor crops in more countries with
good crops in Others
'This Provdentlal provision" the report continues,
was srkingly In evidence during the war; and the fact
that famine has been almost unknown, except through
defect transportation direct proof that in spite OF
the detection in Russia and Balkan countries sufficient
wheat has always been produced for consumers needs
although by turns Australia India Argentina and North
America have all had bad seasons
The report concludes by saying that the question may
be asked naturally where importing countries TO nnd
supplies Of wheat 10 make good the undoubted losses
which have lately in North America but It Is
answered by saying that would indeed be happy ex-
perence II the losses in North America, good part OF
Them would be offset by exceptionally good md-se2son
crops in Argentina and india, and, already indicated
such a compensation would be nothing wonderful
than the hugo American winter crop OF 1911, the Indian
crop Of 1917 and 1915 the Australian crop Of 1915 and 1916
and the Canadian crop Of 1915

that she provides full harvest in part Of the world for
