Bismarck, N. D., Jan. >21.-If the
shades of Alex Mckenzie and his ad-
visers ever lowered over the state
house of North Dakota. they have
long since been put to route. for there
is a new power in control out here In
Bismarck new man pulls the
strings, and he does the job more
than any one man ever did before.
His machine is heavily camouflaged
with the paint of democracy, and it
travels its course without delay and
without trouble, never harmed by the
storms that rise occasionally from out
the west, where sit 1.-THE hopeless
minority" If the minority gets too
dangerous, or too obstreperous, or
throws sand in the gear box, the ma
chine Ms hauled in for the day, and
the engineers are dragged into the
secret caucus at night, where every
thing is prepared for the next days
job. The next day, the machine slides
through the particular bit of work in
a hurry, the minority is properly and
promptly ditched, and Townley ct al
again are firmly in the saddle.
No Doubt As to Outcome.
Townley and his advisers (you
know them-Walter Thomas Mills,
James Manahan, William Lemke and
others of their ilk) have outlined a
very ambitious program for them
selves, and they are going to carry it
through. There may be dirty work
at the cross roads" a night or two
during the struggle, some ones feel
ings may get unused up" a little, but
they care not about that. They've got
the program under way, and they're
going to complete it.. Soon the indus
trial commissiop bill, which will give
Townley about all. the control of the
state he wants; the State Bank bill,
which will give him and his following
control of state finances; the bill pro-
viding for state-owned flour mills,
terminal elevators and warehouses,
and the Home Building association
bill, will be reported out of commit
tee (not that this is necessary, but one
must follow the legislative form, you
know. and the minority may argue a
point here and there and advise the
leaguers to go slowly and consider
wisely and fully, but the program will
come through with flying colors. The
war will be over, and the good folk
Of North Dakota can settle down to
the greatest Socialistic experiment
the country has known. 1t is an ex-
periment-even the leaguers will ad-
NIT that-and it's working out is 60

AS has been said, the program will
be carried out in every detail. Why
speak so assuredly, you ask. Consid-

NJ. Sasanoff, former Russian o
eign minister has been in confer
ence with members of the American
delegation, urging the admission to
the conference of delegates from the
Omsk government in Russia, which
he represents here.
I. After the conference has heard such
reports as are available from men
who have first hand information on
Russian conditions and has consider
ed the memoranda from. the various
governments, it will attempt to reach
some decision as to what unified &C.
ton may be taken to deal with the
situation.
U. S. Against Intervention.
In the general inform4l discussaoH
which is taking place outside the re-
frees OF the peace cclference2est1tsc
may be assumed to raiact the views
being expressed within that body, the
two considerations given first place
are believed to be whether to attempt
to build a wall or establish a quaran-
tine around Bolshevik Russia through
giving assistance in the setting up Of
governments in the Independent states
surrounding maximalist territory, or
~ oSICAAAPL " 1C1xCS0 COUU4s
lions in European Russia which re-
lief many statesmen believe would re-
move the cause Of Bolshevism. The
third consideration is the question of
extending armed aid to the forces
within Russia which are openly fight
ing Bolshevism in the field.
OF all the courses suggested it
would appear that the last mentioned
is the least favored. certainly by the
United States, and it seems also that
the first named is attracting support.
The recent agreement Of the factions
in Poland is looked upon by some OBJ
servers as a step in this direction. the
assumption being that it was taken in
the belief by Poland that the ~associat-
ed governments might consider the
sending of some armed forces in the
plan for building a wall around Rus
sian Bolshevism SO as to cut 1t OF
from western Europe.
The food situation in Germany also
is being kept under close scrutiny in
the same connection.
AS President Wilson is convinced
that the people Of all the recently lib
Grated countries must be fed If they
are not to be in danger of lapsing into
B~olshevism, it is considered evident
that the provisioning problem con-
tlnues to occupy a prominent place
in the discussion now going on. :
The plan for league Of nations are
continuing to develop and it is deemed
not improbable hat the conference
will get to its first full discussions Of
that subject by the end of the week.
Paris, Jan. 21.-President Wilson
will be received by the French
chamber of deputies Monday. Febru-
airy 8, at s o'clock in the evening.
According to present arrangements
president Poincare will accompany
President Wilson to the Bourbon
palace where they will be received by
the president of the chamber.
The two presidents will be conduct
ed to seats in the chamber and M.
Deschanel will deliver a speech Of
welcome: President Wilson will reply
and, his speech will be at once trans
lated into French.

AMBASSADORS OF TRADE.
Britain's much-discussed q

Britain's much-discussed plan for
trade ambassadors" already has been
put into effect. This overseas ex-
ploitation scheme was conceived in
1916 simultaneously with the plan for
organization of the Federation of
British Industries. The federation
includes practically every large manu-
facturer in the British Isles; smaller
concerns now recovering their equi-
librium are joining by the dozens
weekly. The Overseas Trade Depart
ment of the Federation-the Foreign
Office from which the trade ambassa-
doris are accredited-is under the di-
rection of brisk young army officers
demobilized early because of their
trade fitness.
Ambassador is a peculiarly good
description to apply to the trade func-
tionary. He does not travel about
seeking orders like a drummer. He
has been engaged for his important
connections already established. II q

n BLACK STONE.

Little Tinker Bob felt in his pocket
for another stone. He wanted to
know the story it might have to tell.
He was not sorry he threw the first
stone away for he did not want to
see anyone killed. This stone was
black and shiny. 1t looked as though
1t might have a good story to tell.
He. held it tight in his hand and tap
ped it gently against the big Gray
Stone.
This time he found himself in a
strange land. When he opened his
eyes wide, after blinking a few times,
he saw he vas sitting on a large rock,
and In front of this roc was q mar
row path leading from a large
forest down to the edge Of brook.
Tinker was glad this stone had taken
him again near the forest. for this
was the kind Of life he liked best.
Looking about, he noticed a funny
bundle Of u just away from the
rock. He watched 1t closely for a
moment. There was no signs Of life.
Perhaps some little child Of the forest,
on the way to the brook for a drink.
had met an enemy and the enemy had
killed it.
Tinker climbed down from the
rock and went to see this bundle Of
fur. He touched 1t with his toe, but
it did not move.
He could see a long slim tail
tucked close up to the fur, but he
could not see a nose or face. Poor
thing!" he said aloud to himself.
Somebody has killed it."
But at the sound Of his voice the
bundle of fur moved. Tinker Bob was
almost afraid when he saw it move
because he had thought it was dead.
Yr1 - d.. -

which turned toward Tinker. Then
this f~ur-coated child began to laugh.

do you get enough to eat?"
"Oh, I easily get enough to eat
that's why l live by the side of this
path so l can get a little from every

Tinker Bob was glad that he could
get acquainted with such q fellow as
Opossum. He never met this kind
of a creature before. But he did not
tell any secrets because he thought it
was best to wait and see If Opossum
was as kind as he seemed.
