of Valley City covering the sale OF

details Of which Hastings would not
tell.
He further testified that he and Box
and others working with them col

mission Of $4,000 for the sale Of the
In the deal, the surplus the National
bank was impaired $4,000 when the
deputy bank examiner made his in
vestigation.. but this impairment wal
made good at the order of the bank
ing board.
The impairment was brought about
through the issuance of the group OF
four cashiers checks as follows To
Thomas Allen Box $3,005.38; to W. O..
Olson Of Valley City $3,005.SS; to
Federal Development company So
O05. 3S; to the Scandinavian-Ameri-
can bank Of Fargo $6,010.77.
This fact is revealed in the report
Of Deputy Bank Examiner 4Halderson
was this item which the banking
board required to be made good. The
Federal Development company Is the
corporation organized by Box and
Hastings, which appears as the pro-
moter of the organization of the state
bank. 1t is the corporation to which
commissions were paid for the or
g%anization Of the State bank, the COR
poration receiving ten dollars out of
each 1925 subscribed; one hundred
dollars being for capital stock, fifteen
dollars for surplus and ten dollars for
commission. The banking board still
has refused to permit the amalgama-
ton Of the banks, pending the re-
ceipts from ]. r. Waters of a finan-
cial standpoint by John Hastings.
The statement probably never will be
received, nor does it seem necessary
now. for Hastings and Box are no
longer to be factors in the banking
world Of North Dakota.
Forces from within ,"have been at
work, and Hastings is to go to st.
Paul to work in the Nonpartisan
headquarters.
Box, it is said, probably will no
longer be associated with the league
in North Dakota.
1t is interesting to note hat Hast
ings was not reelected an officer Of
the Peoples State Bank Of Grand
Forks, N. D., and he has resigned
from the Observation-Disclosures
bank of Fargo.
He is said to be retiring from offices
held in other banks in the state.

'PenrOSe on Election ChanqeS

Senator Penrose was one of the
members of the senate who opposed
the change in the constitution which
put the election of senators up to the
people direct. His political enemies
believed that the change in the
| method of election would defeat
| him as candidate for the United
states senate in 1914, the first year
| the open primary law went into ef-
| feet, but Senator Penrose won out
| in that primary with many votes to
spare, although he was the issue and
was reelected in the fall after a
bitter thee-cornered fight with the
Republican party divided, the Pro-
gressive supporting Clifford Pinchot.
Our senior United States senator
| has no reason, from a personal
standpoint, to fear the effect of a
trial before the people at the polls
even if he had no other reasons for
opposing the repeal of the direct
primary system.
There may be some defects in the
system at present, but even it is not
as Objectionable as the old method
of naming candidates by the dele
gate and conve ntion system.
There are some very good reasons
why the nonpartlSon judiciary act
for the nomination and election of
judges for our higher courts should
be repealed because the people gen.
orally vote in the dark, giving a
political machine or personal or
ganization a splendid opportunity of
raising an unknown and untried man
to the highest judicial office of the
State. But If any change is to be
made in the method of selecting our
higher court judges, as we have ad-
vocated before, it should be one that
will take the selection out of the
hands of the people and place the
responsibility with the Governor,
making the offices appointive instead
of elective.
We are glad that Senator Penrose
has thrown his influence on the side
of those who are opposing the repeal
of our present election laws

KEEPING TROUBLE AWAY

IL NERYONE in Pennsylvania
~ manifested hearty accord with
Governor William c. Sprouts
inaugural declaration that the State
does not need so many new laws as
it does Qualifications and tightening
up or replacement of some that have
been on the books. The announce
ment that less than a score of gen.
eral bills passing the Legislature
have become acts in a legal sense
will be hailed with pleasure.
And with this in mind everyone
Sproul is disposed to indicate what
he thinks about legislation. The
Governor is an experienced Legis-
lator and a strong administrator.
His words will be listened to and
will be applauded. His declaration
that the question of what shall con-
stitute Intoxicating liquor is some
thing for Congress will chase some
bills designed to make trouble to
the waste basket, where they belong,
and his remarks that the State
should not have to learn a new set
of election laws will be hailed with
relief. Similarly. word that he wants
Philadelphians to agree on a char
ter is glad tidings up State.
At the same time everyone will be
glad to learn that he has sized up
the State revenue system as one
which needs laws to corral tax
dodgers. The Federal Governments
income tax reports have furnished
ideas which can be profitably ap-
piled to Pennsylvania personal prop
erty owners. 1t has to come even
tually and it may as well come now
and keep trouble away.

Song of the Shingle SplitterS

In dark wild woods, where the lone
owl broods
And the dingoes nightly yell
Where the curlew's cry goes floating
by,
We splitters of shingle dwell.
And all day through, from the time
of the dew
To the hour when the mopoke calls,
Our mallets ring where the wood
birds sing
Sweet hymns by the waterfalls.
And all night long we are lulled by
the song
OF gales in the grand old trees;
And in the breaks we can hear the
lakes
And the moan of the distant seas
For afar from heat and dust of
street,
And hall and turret, and dome,
in forest deep, where the tor
rents leap.
Is the shingle splitter's
home.
What though our work be heavy, we
shirk
From nothing beneath the sun;
And toll is sweet to those who can
eat
And rest when the day is done.
In the Sabbath time we hear no
chime,
No sound of the Sunday bells:
But yet heaven smiles on the forest
aisles,
And God in the woodland dwelIs.
We listen to notes from the million
throats
OF chorister birds on high,
Our psalm is the breeze in the lordly
trees,
And our dome is the broad blue
sky.
Oh! brave frank life, unsmit-
ten by strife,
We live wherever we roam.
And our hearts are free as the
great strong sea,

SUPPLICATION

Give me the hills and a stout ash
stick
And the turf beneath my feet.
And leafy tree to rest beneath
In the height of the noontide heat.
Give me the road. the long gray
road, 49,
AS IT wanders DER the hill.
Past the ivied church and the
IL GREENWOOD copse
And the mumbling stone-tooth'd d
Give me the moors that stretch
around
Like a gray and purple wreath,
And the topping clouds, and the
setting sun,
And the wind across the heath.
Give me the dew on the meadow
grass
AS it glints in the light of morn
And the CLASSY tarn, and the gemmy
At the hour when the night is
born.
Give me but these-and the wink
ing stars
When the long glad day is done,
Then give me a friend to share it
all,
A friend-and only one!

Review.

more plentiful than it will be after
the building trades get under way

ton of steel and other prices. Now

years construction work, as the
State is doing in the capitol park
area. AS soon as the Legislature

Where Guns No Longer Roar
(Horace W. scandlin in World Outlook For March)

~ EMILY here, precipitously
III there the hills come down and
drink of the water of the River
Marine. Clear water now it is and
good to look upon. No longer is it
red with the blood of man and
beast, no longer is it's mirror-like
surface dotted with swollen things
that once answered to the name of
man. Smoothly it pursues its course,
Deautlfully 1T cuts a winding lane
through the green and brown of it's
banks.
Quaint clusters of little stone
houses burst upon me and thrill me
and then disappear. Their bodies
are creamish hue, their tiled roofs
red, but both colors have been so
beautifully mellowed by time and
weather as to battle clearer descrip-
ton. Towns come and go, likewise
cities and the pull at my imagina-
ton is always the same. If ever
God blessed a land with charm and
beauty He did this valley of the
Marne.
Have you caught the picture. INV
far off American friends? Americas s
best, so far as quaintness and love-
liness are concerned, does not meas
ure up to the valley of the Marne.
But listen and then think!
Let your hearts fill up with thank
fulness.
Let your eyes fill up with tears.
Go to your babies and your wives,
to your brothers and your sisters, to
your mothers and your fathers and
on hended knees thank God that you
do not live in the valley of the
Marne!
Only dead men live there!

FURTHER DELAY
[From the New York Times. I

[From the New York Times.
The censure which has been visit
ed upon the Peace Conference for
it's unconscionable delay in ending
the war will be redoubled in volume
and severity il the signing of the
Treaty is put off until May 1 mere
ly for the sake of making a COM
prehensive treaty to be signed by
all the parties to the conflict. There
may be good reasons for putting the
, terms of peace into one treaty in
stead of four, for preparing an in
strument to be signed by Germany,
Austria, Bulgaria, and Turkey as
parties of the one part, and all the
nations associated in the war against
them as parties of the other part.
But it is preposterous to assume
that the necessary changes in the
plan would consume a month of
time; it may be declared without
hesitation that if month were re-
quired, the change in the plan would
not be worth while.
The worlds quarrel was with Ger
many. She was the instigator and
first cause of the outbreak. She is
still the head and front of the enemy
forces. When we make an end of the
war with her it will be ended with
her allies, for they are minor guam
tites. The world is very little con-
cerned about them. Austria is shorn
and parceled; Bulgaria will have to
do what is required of her, and Tur-
key is practically non-eXistent. And
with Bulgaria ;tnd Turkey the United
States was not even at war. The
conference would arouse the worlds
Indignation, it would give freer play
to dangerous forces that have al
ready made trouble enough, should it
disappoint expectation by such an
unreasonable and unjustified post
ponement of peace.
We fear that the conference is in
sore need of better information as to
the present attitude of the peoples of
the allied nations and of the United
States toward it and ITS deliberations.
Impatience with the slowness of the
everywhere manifested; it is grow
ing. 1t is to be feared. moreover,
that the conference lacks clear un-
derstanding of the political situation
of the enemy powers. The conference
ought to have knowledge of what is
going on in Germany, it ought to see
that every day and week of delay will
enable the Germans to put them
selves in a position where 1t will be
more difficult to enforce the condi-
tions of the treaty. The Hungarian
episode ought to open its eyes to
what is going on. And all the time
the Bolsheviki are profiting by the
indulgence and great consideration
for their wishes and feelings ex-
hibited by the representatives of
some of the nations at Paris. The
world cannot with safety put UP
peace
