control string of 80 stores that have
been the center of an interesting political
fight ever since the plan of organization
was first announced.
The consumers United Stores company
was organized two years ago, Under its
plan farmer pays the company 800 and
has the right to purchase goods at the
stores for 10 years, at cost plus 10 per
cent. The company agreed to invest &c.,
600 in goods and merchandise at each
store. In many instances all the way from
$4,000 to $4,000 was collected for each
store. Under the terms of the agreement
the portion in excess of $4,000 could be
used for educational and propaganda
purposes. Thus "a huge fund was beng
created for political purposes.
Heretofore the farmers have had no
voice in the management The corpora
ton, with $4,000 capital, has collected
100000 from the farmers, and it was
found recently when the Scandinavian
American bank of Fargo was closed by
the banking board, that the Stores com
pany was $4,000 in debt to the bank
The Stores company has been managed by
a board of directors, made up of league
employees and leaders.
In announcing that the farmers are t.
have control of the company, it Is asserted
by Mr. Paddock that this had always
been Mr. Townley's "plan of action wher
the company was fully organized.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
Are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are the
result of DR.. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For IL years he used
these tablets "a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oiD in his private
practice with great success.
They do all the good that calomel
does but have no bad after effects. No
pains, no gripping, no injury to the
gums or danger from acid foods-yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.

Note how they clear clouded brain and

The Politicians and Japan.
Spring gfcld Republican, :.

The conNulsions of the Pacific coast politicians in case the president had consented to the Japanese ra- cial equality amendment to the cove nant of the league of nations would have been horrible to witness. They were spared such an experience. They were again spared untold aGonieS when the president secured the am mcndment safeguarding the Am cri- can immigration policy of oriental exclusion. But senators like Poin dexter of Washincton state seem to think that everything that Japan asked for at the peace conference, where she sits as a great power, could be uncompromisingly refused.
 Japan has been rcbuffed. or de- feated, no less than three times at Paris. First, she lest the sovereignty over, and instead of it had 10 be sat isfied with a mandate from the league of nations to govern, tho former Ger man islands north of the equator, which were unQualificdly conceded to her in her Secret treaty with Great Britain and France. Second, she failed to secure the adoption of the racial equality amendm Cnt, which,, to the Japanese, involves a question Of national honor. Third. while the sc cret treaty gave KiaO-Chau to Japan without reservations, the conditions under which that port is to be left in Japanese hands require Japan to restorcri it and also the whole Shan tung peninsula in full sovereignty to China. Baron Makinos latest pub lie statement is explicit to the effect that the policy of Japan is to return the Shantung peninsula in full sOV- cresnty to China, retaining only the economic privileges granted Germany and the right to establish a settle Tsingtao.
 It is true that Japan is to get the economic concessions in Shantung province which were enjoyed by Ger many. But do the poindcNters sup pose that it is not necessary to yield something to Japan as compensation for the loss of their racial equality league covenant in the matter of inn migration. for the implicit promise to return Shantung province to China in full sovereignty, and for the sma shng Of the secret trCatN'S pro- vision concerning the German islands in the north Pacific? A Pacific coast politicians conception of the way to get on with Japan at peace confer cnce is most singular. Whenever Ja pan asked for anything. he would throw her into tho street.

THEY GAVE-IT'S YOUR TURN.

No organization catering to the service than the Salvation Army.
 No strand of thc relief ia brio was more dependable or tried harder to bring a ray of cheer into the life of the Doughboy than the Salvation Army.
 No organization is more deserving of public support for what it did on the fields of France than the Saliva ton Army.
 Get the foregoing fixed firmly in mind and then prepare to contribute toward the Salvation Army campaign which will open Sunday and continue for two weeks.
 If a dollar were given for every doughnut served to the American sol diers the Salvation Army would not need to resort 10 public subscriptions. It's treasury would be bursting. Under frightful conditions, men and women fighting humantys battle with the flag of the Salvation" Army, went into the trenches and brought in a supply of smiles where all smiles had been killed Every buck private will testify to their worth. New Britain men especially will tell of their ad- vance against the enemy armed only with food and a cheer-up message. They performed their task, nobly. It devolves on the people of this great, generous republic to show that their efforts were appreciated.

our financing of Germany to any OK tent would be merely paying over American money to France, Great Britain and the other Allies. As a matter of fact, those who should na- turally finance Germany are those to whom Germany must pay. There is no difference here from any like bust ness situation. There never was any, thing crudcr in economics, there never was anything more suicidal, than the earlier threat of France not 10 have further commercial relations with out would simply mean that France never could get paid.
 Furthermore, it will not only be natural, it will be possible, for France, Iburdcned with debt though she is, to help finance Germany so that Ger many can pay. France can, help finance Germany with coal which was German coal before the war, but will be French coal after the. war So with steel. And France, her rcpara- tion guaranteed under the peace treaty, can on that guarantee pur. chase materials in other markets for delivery to Germany, so that German lnOuSlrldl mac cry can WOrk With that material to turn out a finished product for France. In other worlds like any other creditor trying to put a debtor on his feet so that the creditor shall be saved along with the debtor France can use her resources, her col- lateral and her. credit to help the power which only the other day was trampling upon Francc-hclp Ger many to help France herself
 The same thing is true of Great Britain, rich and poWcrfu; it is true of Belgium, little and weak. Belgium is going to receive forthwith supplies and moneys in large quantities. Tho bulk Belgium must use for direct and immediate reconstruction at home. But some of it Belgium can usc-will be foolish not to use-to finance Ger many in GermanN's reconstruction to make further rcparation to Belgium

New England has special interest in the convention of the American Legion at St. Louis because of the diff ferences between the National Guard and the Regular Army which have definitely come to light. It is pro- posed by some of the National Guardsmen to bar Regular Army sol diers from mem bcrship, although there is stanch opposition to such a course.
 For the cause underlying the move ment against the Regular Army it is necessary to harli back to the last few months of the war when charges were openly made that National Guard officers were being discriminat ed against by unwarranted removal from their commands. It will be re- membered that many of the stories land military men of high rank, who, it was claimed, were relieved of their posts and assigned to positions back of the line. Various excuses were al lowed to become public. but in the end most of the National Guard officers were rcinstated with their troops. It was alleged that a Regular Army clique, which was described as the "Leavenworth crowd,' was instru- mental in this displacine of National Guard commanders and since that time jealousy between the two branches of the army has existed. It has even been said that the return homo of Major General Edwards, former commander of the Yankee Di- vison was due to his refusal to obey unofficial orders from Regular Army superiors that the National Guard officers be "broke."
 If the National Guard veterans de- sire to form a National Guard organ ization no one will question their right. But it would seem to be an unneccs- sary affrOnt to close the door on Reg ular Army men. An American Legion, restricted to National Guardsmcn, would not be truly representative of the American army. It would foster ill feeling, as well, and there is so much glory to be distributed that the Ma tional Guard and the Regular Army can rest assured each will receive it's full share.
 Colonel Bennett Clark, son Of Congressman Char'p Clark, declares that the "Regular Army must he smashed" That's what the Germans said. But it wasn't done.

The: proposal rejected by the American delegates at Paris, that the United States should finance Germa ny so that Germany might pay reDara- tion to the Allies. was preposterous. The plan which will be submitted to the next congress for American capi tai and enterprise to assist in the eco- homie reconstruction of Europe is an other matter. And yet, our limita- tions will be sharply defined.
 American capital should be ready to do business with Germany, wit France. with tho Czecho-Slovak peO- pie, with anybody-on business basis. on a business basis, the one who does the financing ng-advances the capital, the credit, the material must get som ething out of it or it will be only a question of time until he cant do any more financing for any body, himself not excepted.

l to be held. If his fears that the ses- 1 knowledge that such would be the program his words como at a timely moment.
 Senator PcnrOSc takes occasion to condemn alleged star chamber meth ods, at Paris. It is just possible that under the circumstances it was ncc- essary for moro or less secrecy. Con- fusion would only have been caused by conflicting views published daily and suspicion might have been enscn- dcrcd among the delegates by ncws- paper interviews secured after each meeting of the Big Four and the lesser organs of the conference.
 In the course of his statement, Sen atOr Pcnrose says: Except in the fact that the menace of German mili- tarlsm is removed, ;he American Dco- pie do not seem to be setting any substantial results of the treaty in the way of indCmnitics, rcpo ration or oth- CT compcnsaton.' The Pennsylvania senator should remember that we en- tered the conflict with the purcst of motives and that we were not actuat- cd by desire for gain. The removal of German militarism is what is pop ularly supposed to be a substantial result Other legitimate gains will probably be forthcoming at the prop CT time.

French Premier Goes Through Strcn- uouS Drills Each Morning Before
 Beginning Days Work,

Paris, May 9, Correspondence of the Associated Press )-Premicr Gle menceau's wonderful constitution is ascribed partly to the fact that he de- votes half an hour every orning to physical exercises. At eight o'clock Edouard Leroy his gymnastic mas ter, arrives to put him through a se- rieS Of movements demanding the greatest fleXibility in all parts of tho body.
 M. CIemonceau, attircd in gymnas- tic costume cndeavOrs to perform ex- actly the most difficult exercises sometimes, however, when a. sudden idea crosses his brain, he darts from the room to make d note of his in spiration.
 For years the premier has not missed his morning drill except for a few days after the attempt made to assassinatc him By Cottin, but he re- sumed 1t as soon as it was safe to do so. Ii is to this daily exercise that NJ. tlemcncCau attributes his mdefatieG- ble energy. Even during the most anxious hours of the German Onen- SlvC he COnSciCntiOusly went through the drill and found that after a sleep less night it made him fit for the strenuous tasks of his office. The les son is followed by vigorous massage. Ten minute later, the premier who rises at six in the morning, winter and summer, leaves in his car for tho war office fresh and ready for the days work.

It is a pleasure to say a word or two in COmmendation Of a man who has left himself open to such wide criticism and it is only fair to express approval of Senator Pcnrose's ad- vocacy of "open, public sessions" of the United States Senate during the debate on the peace treaty. It is rather surprising that such cham pion- Hhip was necessary as it has been gen erally believed that the public would he welcome at the discussion. In fact Senator Penrose is the first person of prominence we know of who has ex- pressed doubt that open sessions were.
