fed that the Republican state con-
in South Dakota had pro-
posed his name for vice president.
It said in part:
Was Not Expected.
ut was entirely unexpected by
me that my name should have
been presented to your governor.
It is not, however, my desire
to appear as a candidate for the Of
flee Of vice president of the United
States. I,
II shall not, therefore, make the
declaration which your laws re-
quire from a candidate. This in no
way detracts from my deep appre-
citation of the honor that has been
given me, or from my pleasure at
having such an expression Of con-
fidence from the people Of South
Dakota"
The second letter was written
yesterday to Secretary Burkhart in
confirmation Of a telegram to the

PRICES OF LIFES NECESSITIES
ARE ON DOWNWARD PATH MAINLY
DUE TO PUBLIC'S ACTIVE FIGHT

Il Pig iron, the price Of which is es-
pecially singnificant, is $3.50 cheaper
per ton than a year ago.
Investigation everywhere has fright
ened spectators, and boarding on a
large scale has sharply fallen off.
The turn Of affairs abroad, where
declines in prices are already we'll es-
tablished, will have an increasing ef-
feet on American markets.
The Guaranty Trust Company OF
New York, issues a statement in
which it says I:
Accumulated evidence gathered by
competent observers leaves now little
room for doubt that the lowest point
in the economic state of the world
was passed some time back and that
whatever may be the temper of the
present moment, from this time forth
progress must ever be more rapid
toward stability and prosperity
EVEN WALL-sT SHOWS
DOWNTURN IN PRICES
1t must be remembered the high
prices means a bull market in stocks
and that a bull market means rich
pickings for spectators. Therefore
Wall-st is extremely reluctant to adj
nit that the turning point has been
reached Yet the curve of stock mar
ket averages. including railroads and
the principal industrials, shows the
high water mark was touched in July
and that there has been steady fall
ing off since.
Attorney General Palmer recognizes
the Importance of the public state OF
mind in relation to the cost Of living.
He warns against the alarmist propa-
ganda intended to keep prices up by
encouraging purchases at this time
for future needs.
Never were caution and frugality
more necessary than today
Economists are united in the opin-
ion that much depends on what the
people at large feel and do. Curtail-
ment of luxuries. a return to the spirit
of conservation that prevailed during
the war, will encourage the price de-
cline.
The Bismarck tribune., 1919-09-13

From every part of the United
States the evidence is pouring in that
the cost of necessities has reached
It's high limit and that from now on
the decline is to be expected.
All authorities, save a few doubt
full publicist of Wall Street, are agreed
that the end is in sight A gradual re-
turn to normal is hoped for, since
anything abrupt would carry the men
ace of panic. Prices may not return
to where they were five years ago.
but the disheartening upward trend
is done with, experts say.
PUBLlC's ATTITUDE
Is BIG FACTOR
Credit for bringing about this hope
full condition is widely distributed.
Official agitation has had much to do
with the average buyer at retail. The
publics disposition to combat high
prices, and not to be intimidated by
threats of further increases, has had
its sure effect. And the fight is not
finished

all parts Of the country are that

Here are some of the signs of
marked improvements:
Chicago reports drop in whole
sale prices which began with bork,
affected other meats and spread to
grains, vegetables and fruits.
Shoe manufacturers announce that
the prices of shoes will not advance
and that by 1920, or earlier. the de-

September IL is a great date in
American history and yet it is one Of
those great dates the significance Of
which is not generally known.
| For it was on September y, 1914
just 105 years ago-that Francis Scott
Key, in the harbor of Baltimore, Md,
wrote the immortal national anthem,
"The Star Spangled Banner"
The setting was intensely dramatic.
Key, an ardent patriot visiting a Brit
ish prison ship where friend, wound
ed and captured had sent for him,
saw throughout the tense night of
September 18th terrific lombard
ment of the fortress which defended
the harbor of Baltimore.
He knew not the outcome, nor
whether the brave American garri-
son had withstood the guns of the
foe, until the break of dawn revealed
his country's starry emblem still afloat
over the fort.
! Set to Old English Air.
He had been detained during the
| bombardment but on the twelfth was
permitted to leave the prison ship.
He hurried back to Baltimore, his
head full of the words of the song
that was destined to render him i'm
mortal, and that night it was sung
in Baltimore to the tune of the old
English air "Anacreon in Heaven" to
which it is still sung today.
In the American charter of liberty
not only do the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, the Constitution and its
several amendments, and other SINH
larly important documents play an
important part, but also the great an
them whose stirring strains in time
Of peril unite the nation.
He who said, Let me but write a
nations songs and l care not who
makes it's laws" may we'll have had
in mind The Star Spangled Banner
and it's influence upon the history of
this country.
TO Restore Ancient Israel.
And as September II plays its i'm
portant part in the great American
charter Of liberty as the hundred and
fifth anniversary of the writing of
the natiopal anthem, so it is destined
to play its part as the date when
American Jewry will definitely begin
action for the appearing and rebuild
ing Of the ancient tradition Of Israel,
for on that date begins the twenty
second national convention of any ma
tional Zionist organization to be held
since, by international action, the re-
establishment of Palestine as an au-
tonomous commonwealth has been as
sured.
Deeply significant in connection
with this convention will be the mes
sage to be brought to it by Justice
Louis D. Brandeis, of the U. S. Su-
preme Court, who is also honorary
president of the organization.
The convention will recruit over
l 900 delegates from all parts of the
United States, in addition to distin-
guished visitors from other lands, and
will last about ten days, its princi-
pal sessions being held in the great
Auditorium Theatre. During the peri
