LEAGUE ORGAN IS
NOT CERTAIN OF
IMPEACHING TRIO

GIVES HINT OF BRIBES

While everyone about the capitol
seems convinced that the Nonpartisan
organization will seek to impeach At
torney General LANCER, Secretary OF
State Hall, State Auditor Kositzky
and possibly State Treasurer Obert
Olson when the state assembly IS con-
vened in extraordinary session about
the first of December, the last edi-
tOrial utterancer on the subject from
the Courier News, Of which President
A. C. Townley is, or was until very
recent date, editorial director, indi-
Gates there may be some doubt on the
subject.
Commenting on an editorial from
the Valley City Times-Record, in,
timatings thatfshould Hall, Langer and
Kositzky be impeached. their removal
might be resisted by their friends by
force. The Courier News says: II
"The Courier-News is bYlno means
convinced of the advisability at this
time of seeking to inpeach LANCER
and his fellow bank wreckers. They
richly deserve it, it is true, for not
all the yeggs in North Dakota have
cost the state as much as these big
business minions have in the past few
months, since they have betrayed the
men who elected them, and the
pledges on which they were elected.
But impeachment requires two
thirds vote in the senate, and the
Npnpartisans barely have such d
majority, while money in vast guam
titles would be offered by the bank
wreckers' big business friends in the
effort to change the one or two votes
that would prevent impeachment"
Similar charges of attempts ,on the
part of big business to influence votes
against the league program were
made during the last session. Rep.
Cadell of Sioux county was response
BILE for these charges. Arraigned be-
fore the house and commanded to re-
veal the name Of the ,''big businesS'
agent who sought to reduce him,
lCadell pleaded personal obligation to
and lifelong friendship for the al
legged briber, and the matter was drop
ped. It is true that the change of
one or two votes, as the senate now
stands, would rob the league Of the
bare two-thirds which it had in the
last assembly.
The leagues opponents have con-
tended, however, that, even though
the league had no hopes Of finally i'm
peachings the state officials who have
turned insurgent, it would institute
impeachment proceedings in the
house, where it has a safe majority
or did have during the last session
with a view to declaring the Offices
attacked vacant and giving the gov
ernor an opportunity to fill them with
appointees, for a few months at least.

Timothy Shea, chief Of the tiremen s
brotherhood, before the railroad ad-

Mr.. Shea told the board during its
hearing of the firemens demands, ac-

Cay, that to members Of his brother
hood was due an increase in wages
which he said, "If l cannot get it out
OF the conference it may be necessary
to use other means, but l am going

In another portion Of Mr.. Shea's
testimony he is quoted as declaring
that if the fremen's demands for a
living wage should not be met when
the time approaches for the turning

owners the workers shall demand as a
condition precedent to the return the

MINERS REJECT PLAN

Washington, Oct. 23.-The
United Mine Workers of Amer
lea today formally rejected the
proposal by Secretary Wilson for
settlement of the coal strike
called for November l..
John L. Lewis, president of
the miners organization, an
nounced that the proposal was
indefinite, inadequate and failed
to meet the situation. He added
that he would SO report to the
joint conference this afternoon.
WILSON STILL HOPEFUL
Washington, Oct. 23.-Presi-
dent Wilson is making as salts
factory progress as is possible in
the circumstances, his physi-
clans said today.
Out of the wreck Of the ma
tional industrial conference
President Wilson today thought
to build new machinery to bring
about industrial peace in the
country. In message to Chair
man Lane he asks that the pub
lie representatives in the confer
ence continue their work and
make a report to him.
It is the hope Of the president
and other administration off
cials that the house delegates
who were appointed by Mr.. Will
son and who represent both en-
ployers and workers can formu-
late a program which will be ac-
ceptable to capital and labor.
Both Groups Represented
Both the public and capital
groups were present at the con-
ference meeting place today
awaiting the word from Presi-
dent Wilson. Spokesman for
each, said further deliberations,
seemed hopeless since the repre-
sentatives of organized labor
had withdrawn from the confer
ence but the public's delegates
were expected to comply with
Mr.. Wilson's request to continue
their labor.
President Wilson did not write
a formal letter to the confer
ence. His wishes were made
known to- Mr.. Lane thru Secre-
tarys Tumulty who went to the'
conference room after a talk
with the president during which
Mr.. Wilson was Informed not
only of the events in the confer
ence but also Of the views of the
conference.
Secretary Lane told the dele
gates that withdrawal of the
labor group had changed the ma
ture of the conference. He said
he had been commissioned by
the president to explain to the
employers group the changed
nature Of the conference and to
say that the president desired
the public group to remain in
session to carry on the work in
asmuch as the burden of the re-
suits Of industrial disputes fell
ultimately on the public.

AWAITING RULING
ON COMPENSATION

North Dakota is anxiously awaiting
the supreme courts decision in the
test suit brought by a Fargo employer
Of clerical labor to test the constitu-
tionality of the workmen's compensa-
tion act passed by the last assembly.
The act was attacked principally on
the alleged ground that it grouped
labor Of all classes indiscriminately
as hazardous, and that the premium
rates for the protection of labor in
the on-hazardous groups were excess
sive. The act covers labor of all kinds
except steam railway workers and
those engaged in agricultural or dom
eStic service.

WASHINGTON WEEKLY CHAT"
(By Robert B. EdsOn.)

Congress Not to Neglect the Navy.
What is back of Secretary Daniels
recommendation that the large naval
program be abolished? Does the
United States wish to discard naval
increase altogether in view of the pro-
ject for creating league of nations.
Will it be the proper thing for this
country to adopt a radical policy of
naval curtailment without knowing to
certainty that other nations will do
the same? These are just few
queries heard about the Halls of Con-
gress these days. 1t is acknowledge
ed that the plan for the extraordinari-
ly large navy, as fathered by the ad-
ministration shortly after our en-
trance into the war, was an absurd
one, but to go to another extreme
now and withdraw practically the en-
tire program, is not setting well in
the minds of the best thinkers. No
matter what the "inside reasons" may
be, if there are any, and should they
be brought to light before long and
prove logical, the concensus of
opinion, nevertheless, is strong for
the development of a strong navy.
1t is said that prudence demands it..
D,,l &ho II nf tho
Peace Conference during its long
session has not made plain that the
time has come when the "lion will lie
down whit the lamb" The rumb-
lings in Mexico at the present time
argue that strong navy may be the
"big stick" that will back up the
Monroe Doctrine, as that famous
document is not to be part of any
League of Nations agreement.
Leaders in both Houses of Congress
agree that economy is to be the
watchword in government expenses,
and most likely it will be; but, if
straws show which way the wind
blows, the great navy of the United
States will continue to grow in size
and power. Time will tell.
The Department of Interior is con-
ductng an investigation as to the
health of school children. 1t began
in Washington, and the discovery was
made that 300 out of 1906 school
children, weighed and measured, were
normal, the great majority beng
under weight. This has opened the
eyes of the Bureau of Education,
which now announces that through its
division of hygiene a campaign will
be started to improve health condl-
tions among school children all over
the country. 1t is planned to enroll
every teacher and pupil and to in
sist that as much attention be given
to the health of the pupils as to their
education.

WH|TEN
THE COMPLEXION
Any woman can make up this creamy
beauty lotion for few cents.

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes whole
quarter pint of the most remarkable
lemon skin beautifier at about the cost
one must pay for small jar Of the
ordinary cold creams. Care should be
taken to strain the lemon juice
through fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gets in, then this lotion will keep
fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used tc
bleach a darkened skin and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallow-
ness and tan and is the ideal skin
softner, whitener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. adv.
