President Wilson has no cornpro-
mise or concession in mind with ref
erencc to the peace treaty, according
to statement emanatins from the
White House. The presidents parti-
sans in the 'senate explain that this
does not mean that the president
will oppose concessions which may be
reached in the senate. and they are
seeking to reach basis Of agreement.
But the presidents attitude Of aloof-
ness does not improve the prospect
OF settlement.
It has been hoped that some ex-
preston might come from the pred
dent which would facilitate the rati-
ftcation Of, the treaty in form at
least moderately satisfactory to all
those who are not utterly opposed to
the whole idea Of the League Oh Ma

WHAT rs THE 8 e S. o. L.,

The Herald has Just received with
4 REQUEST for publication, . copy Of
resolutions purportins to have been
adopted by the Scandinavian Educa-
tional State Ownership League. APP
pended thereto are the names of
some state officials and q number Of
members Of the legislature. The res
truthful, and vicious attacks have
been made by~"a Mr.. Burtncss" and
others. and the purpose Of the resolu-
ton appears to be to remove the ef-
feet Of such attacks, and especially to
set forth the abiding faith that the
signers have in the state board of ad-
ministration. and its chairman, George
A. Totten. 1nasmuch as similar state
ments have already been expressed on
the floor Of the legislature by some OF
the same people who seem to have
signed this document. it b not quite
clear what further object is sought to
be accomplished by the adoption Of res
olutions. The sieners have already de-
clared themselves with reference to
Mr. Totten and they now adopt ser
les OF formal resolutions declaring
that they were right Possibly il any
doubt remains, they might adopt fur
ther resolutions Something might
be gained by adopting resolutions
once . week, although The Herald
confesses Its inability 10 understand
just how this would better the situa-'
ton;
Among other things in CONNECTION
with this document there arises the
inquiry, what is the Scandinavian Ed
ucattonal State Ownership League.
and why 10 it? IL there something ..
peculiarly scandinavian in state own
ership. or are Scandinavians especial
fy in need Of education ON the subject?
In connection with Mr.. Tottsn, to
whom a considerable portion OF the
text is devoted, is it the idea that
scandinavtans in this country ought
to spring to tho defense of Mr.. Totten !
because Of his demonstrated partisan
ship for tho works OF = woman writer
whose productions were suppressed
by scandinavians in their own coun-
try7 II that h the idea the reasoning
~ which it has been reached seems
to beea little involved.
The S. E. 8. Q. l. seems determined |
to censure somebody. II it's attitude
with reference to 4r. Totten is correct
it is obvious that it should have in
Guided in its condemnation those |
members OF the board OF admins
tration who, in spite Of Mr.. Totten,
discharged Stangeland, the man who
Totten employed and for whom he
vouched. II stanse|and has done
nothing wrong he has been treated by
the administration with brutal incon-
sideration. and the administration is
decidedly culpable on that account.
However, these arc matters for the
organization to settle to it's own sat
isfsctton. and Tho Herald l. not par
ticulArly interested.

STANDARD FLOUR.

The United States Graip corpora
hon announces Its intention to fur
nssh the people Of several large cities
an opportunity TO buy flour at = lower
rate than il ordinarily charged for
the higher grades Of flour in retail
stores. The. flour to be furnished
under this plan is what u known as
standard flour. A good many house,
keepers in the northwest have for
gotten what that term means, ~ the
use Of what is generally termed fancy
patent flour has become moro and
more general Standard flour, how
ever. is q flour which differs from a
fancy patent in that it contains a
larger portion OF the coareer and
darker material. 1t is not at all SINH
lar to the so-called whole wheat flour,
as the bran and middlings are eepar-
atcd from 1t. but may be considered
as between the whole wheat flour
and . more refined patent grade. Mr.
Barnes, the head of the grain cor
poration, announces this move as an
experiment intended to furnish peo-
pie an opportunity to buy a standard
whole .y~.eat flour ct lower price
than that which they have ordinarily
paid providing they are willing TO
use something little less refined
than that to which they have been
accusomed.
Standard nour is on the market in
most cities IL not in ali, but the ten
dency ct least among northwest con-
sumers is to buy the moro refined
flour. This may. be unwise and un-
makers seem generally to be. of the
opinion that the additional sum in
vested in the higher grade OF flour
is we'll spent in that it gives assur-
ancc OF good results ia brcAd-mAkinE
with practically no variation.
People Of the United States became
accustomed during the war to the uss
Of various grades and kinds Of flour
which could now be delivered for
much less money than il charged for
patent flour. Many OF these mixtures
were chemically well balanced, con-
tanning All the necessary elements OF
nutrition, but as soon as people be-
came able to buy something else they
did so. Today we hear nothing of
flour substitutes, and the average
housekeeper has no desire to hear
Of them. AS to their wholeeomeness.
there mV be difference Of opinion
between tho chemist who analyzed
them and the individual who is con-
demned to eat the results Of the var
tous partially successful experiments
with them. r. 1t will be interesting to
see whether or not the experiment
announced by Mr.. Barnes results IN
the much wider use Of a coarser and
darker grade of flour. ....,

ptomaine poison at Rampant House,
north Of the Arctic circle, the middle

Benson and two other constables

SEASONAL COAL PRICES.

It has been charged that owners Of
coal mines have kept their mines
closed unnecessarily in order to be
able to maintain high prices for their
product This is denied, and the clos
ing OF mines when they could be pro-
ducins is attributed by the owners
to two factors, shortage Of cars ana
inability to market the product in the
early summer months. .U>
The car difficulty ought to be dealt
with by tho railroad authorities. The
purchase Of coal In the summer
depends on the public. The public
VIA buy coal in the summer for two
reasons, and only two that OCCUR to
ms. The first is TO make sure OF get

PROHIBITION STICKS.

The prohibition law stfeks. The
supreme court decides that the 80
called wartime prohibition law is
constitutional, and tho plans OF those
who haye hoped for an interval of
open liquor selling. at least until con-
stituttonal prohibition takes effect
are shattered.
There has been. and there will con-
tinue to be. q wide difference of opin-
ion as to the wisdom Of prohibition
laws. state or national. There was a
well defined opinion which WIS very
prevalent that under the circum-
stances the enactment Of the wartime
prohibition law was a mistake. II Is
certain that in enacting It advantage
was taken OF a technical situation
which was not intended to operate in
the manner in which IT was applied.
The war legislation out Of which
this present prohibition measure grew
was intended for war purposes, and
no other. Before the original bill
could take effect the military sctivi-
ties OF the war had been over for near
y eight months. and the process of
demobflization was fairly complete.
The law depended for its validity on
the fact that the war vas still tech
nically in progress, although for all
practical purposes 1t was over. As in
multitude OF other cases, legislation
enacted for one purpose was twisted
% - to accomplish an entirely differ
ert purpose.
However. the law was enacted and
went into force. It had remained IN
force until within month Of the time
when constitutional prohibition takes
effect throughout the United States.
And. REGARDLESS Of the wisdom of TIN
legislation IN the first plaza, the coun.
