B. w. C.. Votes Favor
Joining Federation

At a meeting of the Business Wom-
ans Club of Greenwood Sunday aft
ernoon, the members voted to join
the State and National Federation of
Business and Professional Women.
The meeting was held in order to dis
cuss with Mrs. Florence Spencer Dur
yeau of New York the object of Fed
Grafton.
Mrs. M. L. Turnage, president of
the club, and Miss Huella Quarrels,
were appointed as delegates to go to
Jackson where they will attend a
meeting of the business and profess
sional womens organizations of the
state and at which time the Missis-
sippi federation will be formed Mrs
Turnage and Miss Quarrells left yes
terday afternoon for Jackson. The
meeting will continue through We'd
nesday.
Why are they coming together?
Because women are not in bust
divide human labor. They are pro-
ducers. They know they are adding
to the power of human production.
Their status, their pay their prob
lens, indicate that their contribution
is not being measured by aedquate
standards. They now propose to null
tiply their power to produce to put
the business women on the economic
way through steady publicity to uni
fy their mutual interests, to get direcs
action upon their problems, to make
better personal adjustments of their
own work and to raise their own
standards.
The federation will include clubs
of business women, women in bust
ness, girl beginners in business, wo-
men in all professions.
The executive committee consists
of representative women from all
parts of the country. It's so compo-
site that it is non-partisan, non-polit-
ical and non-sectarian.
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Virgin
ia, North and South Carolina, Louis
lana, Mississippi and Arkansas have
federated and will send delegates to
the first national convention at St.
Louis, July 14-18.
The national convention will dis
cuss what it takes to make thorough
business woman. The constitution
and policies of the federation will be
formulated at st. Louis on the basis
of what clubs want done-training
higher standards, employment facili-
ties, better balance in the salary
scale and the right kind Of living con-
ditions.
Interesting among the organiza l.
tions is the woman's division of the
Chamber Of Commerce of Roanoke,
Virginia, which is sef-governing, has
it's own budget and its own executive
paid secretary. The woman's cham
Der of commerce at the same time
works with the men and in perfect
harmony. The secretary, Mrs. c. c.
Ellis, will be q delegate to the Vir-
ginia state meeting ct Richmond on
the 9th and 1St:a.
Other unusual organization are

fDUPUIS BILL
=
IS REVIVED
Attempts Being Made to Fix
Distance Tariffs and Class
Freight Rates.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 22.-An ex-
18th assembly, establishing a fixed
f""'"ht rates within the state of North
Dakota was introduced in the house
i tuesday by the state affairs commit
tee. This bill was defeated two years
ago after the railway commission had
waged a determined campaign against
it. The bill would establish 20 classes
in all. with distance rates varying
from ~ cents per hundred pounds on
first class freight for five miles to
69.8 cents IN first class freight trans
ported 100 miles. In Glass e the rate
per hundred for fire miles is "a cents
and for 400 miles IA cents. Hard coal,
coke and coal dust are in the 18th
class; soft coal. sand. gravel and COM
mon brick in the 18th class, and lig-
mite coal inc Ignite briquettes in the
goth class, in which the rate per ton
for a 4Q0-mile haul is fixed at SLIP,
which is about SO per cent of the
present rate.
Under this bill a ton of Ignite
could be hauled from Wilton to Bis
nlarck for Al cents. as against a pres
emit rate Of rs cents, and from Wilton
to Fargo for 90 cents, as compared
with a present tariff of about $1.25.
The rate on carload shipments of cat
tie would be FL cents per hundred
for a haul of 400 miles. The tarigs
fixed are the maximum rates. and
there is not removed from the state
railway commission the power to fix
lower rates than the maximum
named. ee

THE REDEMPTION PERIOD

The. Herald stated several weeks ago that plans for
the extension of the period Of redemption under real es-
tate foreclosures was under consideration by certain of
the Socialist leaders. These plans have taken form, and
a bill embodying the idea has been Introduced. 1t is
from one year, as at present provided. to two years. This
is defended, of course, on the ground that it is in the IN
terest Of the debtor. Is it in his interest? Obviously it
is to the advantage of the man who is already a debtor,
and whose property is bound to pass under foreclosure,
that he be given the longest possible time Within which
to make redemption. Two pears will be better than one.
Three years would be better than two. Tea years would
perfection if it provided that the money need not be paid
back at all. a -- 50
Any of these extensions or the ultimate repuola ton
of the debt, however, would be open to the objection that
the lender is certain to be influenced in making his loan
by the facility and certainty with which he can get mis-
money back. 1t is quite customary to sheer at every men
ton that is made of frightening outside capital from the
will be needed for many pears to carry on the work OF
development in North Dakota. Most of that money must
be borrowed on real estate mortgages. The safer the in
vestnent is made, the easier it will be for the borrower
10 obtain money. The more obstacles that are placed in
the way of repayment, the more reluctant will lenders be
to place money in the state, and the more difficult will
it be for the borrower to obtain a loan. All that is a mat
ter of course. Nevertheless, our Socialist legislature in
Isists on surrounding loans with conditions which impair
their desirability to the lender, and, consequently. will
make the work of development more slow and difficult.

MILD

A dispatch from Williston tells of the remarkable
nildness Of the January weather. Women are going
about bareheaded, and men go to their places of business
and the undertakers are, or should be, preparing for an
unusual run of business, for the need for their services
will almost certainly arise in the near future. The condi-
tons in Williston are substantially those all over the
northwest, and we may rest assured that there will be a
material impairment in the general health in conse-
quence.
The trouble is not so much with the weather as with
the difficulty that people have in adjusting themselves
to it properly. Mild weather in winter is popularity sup
posed to be unhealthy There may be cases in which IT
is So but as a rule there is no more disease in the air IN
a mild winter day than on a colder one. But the mild
ress Of the weather induces negligence in the matter of
clothing and exposure. Persons become too warm for
the deadly germ that is always present in greater of
fewer numbers gets in his work. The chill lowers tho
vitality and the resistance, and bacteria which would or
dinarily be thrown off without difficulty start thriving
colonies in the nose, throat and lungs. Presently. with
or without "fu," a case of pneumonia develops, and
pneumonia is always perilous.
1t is not likely that any newspaper dissertation viii
'nduce anyone to be more careful Of his health than he
would have been otherwise. But the prevalence of in
fluenza during the past fall and the present winter has
brought this matter very forcibly to the attention Of the
pubic and there are plenty of facts for observation right
before US all. Those facts demonstrate the Importance
OF care in the matter Of exposure in cold or mild weather

TRIBUTE GIVEN
TO ROOSEVELT
Pension Committee Adopts
Tribute to Departed
Ex-president.

Washington, Jan. PA tribute to
Theodore Roosevelt by Secretary Lane
was adopted by the house pensions
committee today as a part of it, fav-
orable report on a bill, which already
has passed the senate granting an an
nual pension of $4,000 to Mrs. Roose-
Welt. Secretary Lane wrote the com :
mlttee that congress had set pre-
cedents by granting pensions to the
widows of Presidents Polk, Tyler,
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and McKin-
ley.
The committee. unanimously yot-
ing a favorable report, found that
the secretary's letter constituted lone
of the most ~beautiful, fair and lust
tributes" to Mr.. R~oosevelt's life and
character. 1t follows:
1.-The impression that Theodore
Foosevelt's personality has made up
on h world does not need emphasis.
Whatever his fame as a statesman. it
However widely men my differ from
him in matters of national policy, this
thing men in their hearts would all
wish that their sons might have with
in them the spirit, the will, the
strength, the manliness, the American
ism Of Roosevelt. He was made of
that rugged and heroic stuff with
WHICH legend delights to play. The
idylls and sagas and iliads have been
woven about men of .his mold. We
may surely expect to be developed a
Roosevelt legend. a body of tales that
will exalt the physical power and en-
durance of the ma and the boldness
of his spirit. His robust capacity
for blunt speech and his hearty COM
radeship, his live interests in all
things living-these will make our
boys for the future proud that they
are of his race and his country. And
no surer fame than this car come
tt any man-to live in the hearts O.
the boys of his land as one whose do
irgs and sayings they would wish to
make their own" J.

Bill Would Restore
Wolfe Bounty Act

Bismarck. N. D.. Jan. 22.-The
Slope country, in which coyotes and
wolves have waxed fat and saucy, since
the repeal Of the wolf bounty act two
years ago, will rejoice in the fact that
this bounty is restored by a bill intro
duced in the upper house yesterday
by Senator Jacobsen of Mott. Senator
J%acobsen's bill provides for q bounty
coyotes, r vs that s the Skin ,TI.s skull
and tail" Of said varmint be displayed
by the bounty claimant. The bill also
provides for the creation of a wolf
bounty fund by a levy of one-half of
sessed valuation. Claims a~ggregating
several thousand dollars which could
not be taken care of under the boun7
ty appropriation which expired two
years ago have accumulated in the
state auditors office and are provided
for through a direct appropriation
asked by the budget board.

A MATTER OF JUSTICE

#st When the American cruiser was sunk OIL ~ .
land last July, whether by mine or torpedo is uncertain
there went down with her 100000 worth of Liberty
bends which were the property of the men on ooa'o'
and for which they had paid out of their earnings. Wheh
application was made for the issuance of new bonds TO
take the place of those lost the treasury department oe-
clined, on the ground that it had no authority under
assumed that the treasury ruling is correct. Neverthe-
less, the men who owned those bonds have paid to the
United States government the price Of each bond, ana
they are entitled to something for their money.
The case is quite different from any other that mas
arisen, or that is likely to arise. The person on land
who loses a bond, or whose bond is destroyed, may be
said to have been responsible for his own loss because
he failed to place the bond in a safe place. This is not
true of the case of the San Diego sailors. They bought
their bonds when their vessel was on the west coast,
and paid for them during the next few months. When
their ship was in New York harbor the next year the
bonds were delivered to them, and Immediately the
ship put out to sea, in the course of the duty prescribed
by the authorities. The men had no opportunity to take
their bonds ashore, 1t is known that the bonds went
down with the ship. 1t is known that the ship cannot
be raised, consequently that the bonds can never be
presented for redemption. Hence the government is en-
tirely safe in issuing new bonds to take their place.
It will take a special act of congress to meet this
need, and such an act should be passed Immediately as
d simple act of justice to loyal men whose naval service
WAS the direct cause of their, loss.

SAUCE FOR THE GANDER

The old adage about sauce for the gander holds good
in the matter of election contests where the body that is
considering such contests has any regard for consistency.
Hence, in such a body, If the Weber Riba contest had
been decided as the house decided it at Bismarck, by un-
seating the elected representatives on account Of the
t technical irregularity that the doors bf a polling place
were locked during a count of ballots Because of an or
of all similar irregularities in other. cases. If the ruie
were followed the league candidates in two contest cases
would be unseated. In. the one case the ballots were
taken from the polling place to the home of a member of
the board while supper was served, and the ballots were
counted there. In another case doors werc locked, as in
IForman, where Mr.. Weber had a majority.
1t would be too much, however, to expect the Social
list control of the house to pay any attention to such a
matter as consistency when votes are at stake. In this
case that which is sauce for the goose is not sauce for the
gander at all.

THE GERMAN ELECTIONS

There are so many circumstances which tend to
eoraplicate the issue that it is difficult to estimate the
development of political conditions in Germany with
anything like accuracy. Elections have been held
throughout Germany, and, on the face of things, at least,
the result favors the Majority Socialist party which,
under Ebert and schiedenan has been in control Of af-
fairs since the abdication Of the kaiser. If that result
is confirmed it will be eninently satisfactory. The pres
ent provisional government is all that stands between
Germany and anarchy on the one hand and military
sautocracy on the ether. Hence it will be a satisfaction
to the peoples so recently at war with Germany to note
that there is prospect for a continuation Of the present
regime, or something closely resembling it.
The result of the election is particularly satisfactory
in that it demonstrates that, however they may have
been nisled in the past, and however much their minds
may have been poisoned by the virus of militarisna, the
German people are not yet ready to cast off all the ele-
pacnts of sane and orderly government and join hands
with the Bolsheviki whose reign in Russia has been one
of blood and terror.
ISL It is to be noted that while the party that is likely
to control affairs in Germany is known as a Socialist
party, it is but one of several parties which go under the
general name of Socialism. That it is separated bv a
wide chasm from that which is known as the Socialist
party in this country is shown by the fact that it has
been opposed and denounced by the spartacan faction
under Liebknecht, which faction corresponds more
nearly to that which is known by the name of Socialism
in America. The majority party in Germany seems to
pc the most moderate and well-balanced of any of the
parties opposed to the restoration of the monarchy.
There are so many parties in Germany that CLASH
fication is difficult, but in a general way there NAV be
said to be three great groups, the Bourbon. including
the extreme military and monarchical factions, the Re-
publican, represented by the so-called Majority Socialists
and the Bolshevik, which includes the destructive ee-
ments such as have wrought ruin in Russia and which
have their counterpart in the most voluble of the Social
ist groups in the United States. So
! y is a. matter OF concern to the rest Of the world
. what sort Of government Germany sets up. The sub.
ject cannot be regarded with Indifference. The Gerran
population. numbers some sixty mi,son people. In .
u state of anarchy these people would be a menace n +be
