PROTECT THE INNOCENT.
(NeW York SUM

The federal trade commission has
been investigating transactions in
Liberty bonds and war savings stamps
in which inexperienced investors have
parted with government securities for
stock in private concerns peddled by
glib statesmen to the innocent. James
A. Gill, representing the federal re-
serve bank of New York, says,
I'VE have found this practice wide
spread. They are offering par and
some times par and premium for
Liberty bonds providing that the Lib
erty bonds are exchanged co. oil or
other stocks that are alleged to yield
in some instances as high as so per
cent and which are for the most part
worthless"
Every owner of government bond
or war savings stamp should know
exactly how much it is worth if it
must be sold. The prices paid for
bonds are printed every day in the
newspapers; the stamps are redeem
able at postoffices. Any stranger who
offers more than the market price Of
bond or more than the official re-
demption price of war savings
stamp is open to suspicion, and when
the offer is contingent on accepting
shares of stock in payment for the
bond or stamp he may be set down as
swindler.
These swindlers prey on the unso-
phisticated. on men and women who
have had no experience in investments
in stocks and bonds, and in many
cases they are slick well drilled, well
appearing rascals, carefully trained to
impress the persons they set out to
rob. 1t Is easy enough to say that
their victims should not be deceived
by their ridiculous talk, but the fact
remains that thousands of honest men
and women have been fooled by them
and have given up government bonds
for worthless stock certificates. 1t is
the duty of all experienced persons to
prevent this exploitation of others
and to do all they can to insure the
full reward of patriotic thrift and
self denial to those who bought Lib
erty bonds.

BETTER PRICE FOR SILVER.
(Denver Mining Record)

Denver Mining Record)
Educated peoples are agreeable to
helping their governments by using
government notes instead of gold in
the transaction Of business. The un-
educated peoples of the orient do not
however, recognize any money ex-
cept gold, silver and copper. AS a
result we do not see gold in the
channels of trade in the United States
any more, as our government Is keep
ing all the gold coin in its purse. The
little that is in circulation brings a
premium when struggled to foreign
countries. But the hundreds of mil
lions of Chinese and of British sub
jects in India must be provided with
silver to carry on trade. This is the
reason that Uncle Sam shipped more
silver to the orient last year than
his copper producers shipped to the
entire world outside of the United
States during the same period. Watch
mining prosper when Uncle Sam takes
off the lid and the embargo is remov-
ed from trading in gold and silver.
with the return Of the law of supply
and demand the producers Of these
two precious metals in the Rocky
mountain country will get about
so per cent better prices for these
metals than are now being obtained
under government control.

HIGH UP DEMOCRATS NEGOTl
ATE WITH RADICALS.

The announcement a few weeks ago
that new political party is in course
of formation, composed of the ma
tional party, socialists, nonpartisan
league, /. w. w. and all other ele-
ments of disorder and discomfort, has
been followed by assertions that the
proposed organization is receiving
direct encouragement from the admin
istration and that no less than two
cabinet members have been repre-
scented in conferences with the lead
ers Of the movement. According to
the New York Tribune, it is declared
that Secretary of War Baker was rep
resented in at least one or two of the
conferences, and that Secretary of
Labor Wilson also was present by
deputy. George Creel also is named.
There are hints that President Will
son was not unaware of what was
taking place. On the day before he
sailed for France March A. the pres
ident had long conferences in wash
ington with both Representative Lon
don, the only socialist in congress,
and Representative Baer, Of North
Dakota, the nonpartisan league MEM
Der of the lower house.
1t is not claimed, however, that the
president or members of his cabinet
had any part whatever in framing
the radical program outlined in tie
call for the conference. 1t appears
that one element proposes to make
the organization distinctly new
party and would use 1t as a means of
establishing the soviet system in this
country. The other element hopes to
hold the movement down to a point
that will limit its activity to the
support of the democratic party. 1t
is through this element that admin
is evidently working, and If
there Is any sense of gratitude in the
the administration eff.
forts should meet with success. The
radicals at home and abroad have re-
ceived much encouragement from the
president, and the new party will give
them an opportunity to show their

However, the situation is not with
out its hopeful features, thanks to the
action Of the American people in
turning down the democratic major
ity in congress last fall. A republic
can congress will soon be in session
and it will prove true to its tradi"
tions by making its first considera-
ton the protection and prosperity Of

may block its beneficial legislation by
exercising the veto. but in doing so
he will simply make more certain the
housekeeping that Is in store for the
White House one year from next No
vember. What may be expected from
the republican congress in the way
of adequate protection for the metal
miners is indicated by a recent state
ment from Frank c. Mondell, of Wyo-
min, a stalwart republican and pro-
tectionist, who will be the majority
leader in the next house In giving
forecast of the work of the coming
congress, Mr.. Mondell said:
1.-THE question of tariffs and
revenues are always with us, and
in due season, the ways and
means committee will give these
things thorough consideration. We
have not been talking much about
protective tariff since the war
began because war conditions
have restricted trade and en-
bargoes for the time being
pressed these questions into the
background.
But I am of the opinion that as
the war accumulated the import
ance of establishing condition
of industrial independence, its
ending also emphasizes the neces-
sity of sound protective policy
to maintain the industries we
have and to assure their further
development The nation must
be kept at work in remunera-
tive way. To do that its indus
tries must thrive and its re-
sources be developed"

The greatest difficulty about devils
ing a fit memorial to Theodore Ro 'se-
welt is that he shone in so many ways
as to render impossible a repres snta-
ton of all his many sides, says the
Oregonian. Perhaps as good a mem
orial as any would be a family of
stalwart sons so well trained in citi-
zenship that, If another war should
come, all would volunteer to fight for
their country, as all of Roosevelts
sons did. That is the kind of memoir
ial that any man and woman can
raise.

Exporting Alien Firebrands.

we can not experience in America if
we hold to the birthright God has
given us. 1t is corrupted view, an
alien conception, that opportunity
here has narrowed, and that simple
ability can not win, as in the days
when every man regarded his daily
wage merely as the stepping stone to
a business of his own. We have but
to look at our captains of industry to
find refutation. Were they not work
ers, laborers with their own hands?
Was not Mr.. Charles M. Schwab rear
ed as a humble boy serving in a Penn
sylvania livery stable? Did he not
select as his chief Of staff Mr.. e. G.
Grace, who had to work his way
through Lehigh university? Did not
Mr.. F. A. Vanderlip earn his bread in
the sweat of his brow before he be-
came the great figure that he Is,
leader in the broadening Of Americas
banking and financial relations to
cover the whole wide world?
The wholesome days Of individual
lists, who believed in their own per-
sonal ability to rise, and who held
fast to their government as the safe
guard of their sacred rights to politi-
cal protection, are not ended. They
have been clouded at times by, dark
teachings brought to us from abroad,
but bright ideals have come also with
crowds Of immigrants who recognized
the possibilities of free America for
the uplift Of men. America has been
welcomed as home seekers. and law
ishly the lands of continent were
given to them, but when they come as
destroyers of home and industry they
must be treated as the firebrand has
ever been. The instigators Of riot in
Seattle prove to have been profess
sional foreign agitators; the outlaws
at Butte were mostly aliens Of a type
that should have been barred at Ellis
island and never permitted to con-
taminate democracy by their pres
ence. The peaceful miners at Jerome,
though complaining because Of reduc-
ed pay, were prevented from going to
work by the mob Of alien I. w. W.
who made 1t impossible
for the mines safely to continue In
operation. 1t is evident that the time
has come to safeguard America by
drastic restriction Of immigration.
There is no fear of those who have
received benefit from the liberal OPP
accorded them to make
money in America; the peril Of the
hour is in revolution taught by the

Bolshevik agitators by the carload
are being shipped to the Atlantic sea-
board for re-export. We have no
equipment in this country for utiliz-
ing such raw material, and it display
ed poor business judgment on the
part of the Russians to ship it here.
The American laboring man Is not a
cut-throat and firebrand; he is an
industrial worker, a gentleman in a
good old uncorrupted sense Of that
word, the father of children who still,
as in the days Of Jefferson. Madison,
Jackson and Buchanan, become train
ed in the duties of honorable citizen
ship, with the thought encouraged in
their minds that before them leads, as
the reward of industry and culture,
the ascending highway through local
offices to the opportunity of serving
their country in the highest positions
within the gift Of the people. 1t was
in no testing spirit that the poorest
title ragamuffins were told that they
might aspire to the presidency. They
believed it; they aimed at it; and they
achieved it. 1t was an inspiration, in
the month Of February, when we cell
ebrated the man who made and that
other who saved the United States Of
America, to contrast the alien doc
trine howled at our laboring men from
the harsh threats Of the crazed fiends
of anarchy, with those uplifting prin-
ciples upon which this country has
been nourished and which endure Wit
ally today in the hearts Of all who are
in deed and in truth Americans. Every
citizen feels the dignity Of a partner

THE METAL SITUATION LOOKS
MORE FAVORABLE.

While there Is no change in the To-
cal situation so far as mining opera
tions are concerned, there is never
theless an Improvement in the indus
trial and business condition Of the
country at large which is encourage
ing and which must eventually ex-
tend to the metal mining districts
Here in the northwest the only re-
ports of dull business come from the
mining sections. Business is report
ed good in the agricultural districts,
while the coast cities are enjoying
prosperity that would be described as
a boom were 1t not so soon after the
high pressure period during the war.
II appears that the miners were
harder hit than any other class
through the sudden termination of the
war; due to the large surplus of lead,
zinc and copper on hand when the
armistice was signed. For this con-
dition the government Is to some ex-
tent to blame, but since it has so
many sins of omission and commits
sion to account for 1t seems hardly
fair to press this charge at this time.
SO far as copper is concerned, the
outlook Is very hopeful. according to
d. &C. Jackling, general manager of the
Utah Copper company, the largest
single producer of copper in the Unit
ed States. In his opinion the price
of copper will never be lower than 1t
IL today and he predicts an early i'm
provement in the market. Mr.. Jack
ling says:
The government fixed a price
and proceeded to buy and pile up
a big reserve Of copper. 1t also
encouraged the companies to pile
up reserves against emergency
calls. The sudden termination of
the conflict found big supplies on
hand In every section. This,
coupled with the fact that ordin-
airy construction dropped to
minimum, and has not yet re-
commenced, has brought copper
down to its present level. The
future looms bright and rosy for
all sorts of industrial activity.
Reconstruction will be under way
and normal times reached within
shorter space Of time than is
usually thought"
The same conditions generally
speaking that apply to copper and
Justify this optimistic view seem to
apply to lead and zinc also. The re-
turn of building operations and pub
lie and private improvements, which
seem to be fairly under way in var
ious sections of the country, must
soon make its influence felt in the
mining industry by creating a de
mand for lead and zinc which viii
81 eedily reduce the surplus and re-
suit in a resumption of mineral pro-
duction.

BATTLE TANK VISIT
DELAYED BY ACCIDENT
Schedule Had to be Changed, but
Tank Will be Here
Later

The battle tank who was scheduled
to be in Morris yesterday did not get
here, word having been received the
hrst of the week that on account of
an accident the schedule had been
changed. It is expected, however,
That the tank will be here before the
Loan drive begins.
Before starting thru the Ninth
District, the 20 tanks and their 40
drivers were modified in MINNEAPOLIS
and staged parades in the twin cities.
The -"whippets" are 16 feet long,
weight 7 tons, have maximum
speed of IL miles an hour and can
show a Rocky Mountain goat some
things about getting over impossible
trails. They can climb hills that are
almost perpendicular, go head first
over cliffs without injury to the
tank or driver and can wade sloughs
like duck.

PAYMENTS ANNOUNCED
FOR VICTORY NOTES
Easy Terms of Payment Will Be
Made to Purchasers With Low
Rate of Interest

Chairman F. A. Hancock has re-
ceived a telegram from the Federal
Reserve Bank of Minneapolis an
nouncing the dates of payment for
the coming Victory Liberty notes,
which are as follows:
The notes will be dated May goth
and payments required will be 10
per cent with application on or be-
fore May 10; 10 per cent July 18th; !;
20 per cent Aug. 18th; 20 per cent
Sept. 9th; 20 per cent Oct. 7th; and
20 per cent Nov. 18th with accrued
interest on deferred insta1Iments.
Payments can be made in full on
or before the goth of May.
The bankers of Stevens county
held meeting Thursday, April 8,
to discuss the new notes and they
voted to make the rate of interest
6 per cent until Dec. 1st to those
wishing to borrow money to be used
in purchasing Victory Liberty Notes.
No word has yet been received as
to what these securities are to be
but it is expected they are to be five
year notes drawing AZ per cent in
terest. The size of the loan will
probably be the same as that Of the
4th loan.
