Contrary to the article sent out by
the Fargo Courier-News that the real
state press association is out to OPP
pose the new laws now being put in
operation, we desire to state that the
innuendo put forth by the Fargo
morning socialist is absolutely false.
The North Dakota Press boys feel that
they shuld be paid for all legitimate
advertising of public utilities just
like they are paid for other advertis-
ing matter. We have approved a bill
for 100000 for immigration purposes
and some of it should be used in this
way. The en- has no howl coming.
The administration has legislated all
but ffty-three papers out of doing any
legal work and now wants US to adj
vertise the states pet schemes for
nothing while it and the other kept
newspapers keep their feet in the pub
lie trough. The Fargo paper is put
ting in it's time belittling the press
meeting which is to be held next
month at Mandan and cannot see any
thing coming out Of this gathering
that is any good. At Grand Forks
year ago the nonpartisan league at
tempted to gain control of this asso-
citation so that it could not have been
such bad institution after all. Fail
ing in that the boss told the kept edi-
tors to bolt and they did forming a
rump association which to their mind
is the only pure and .spotless organiza-
ton in the state along those lines. The
old institution will survive the drives
against it we think.

We more than paid for any comp we
pleased to do it, but we want at least
some courtesy in exchange for our
effort. That is our point of view.

The habit of calling on a neighbor
for the purpose of reading his paper is
a bolshevist tendency. By and by, the
fellow who has formed this habit will
expect the enighbor to bring the paper
to him, and some day, if the neighbor
fails to do so, the erstwhile borrower
will conceive a "high ideal"-he'n try
to overthrow" the neighbor. Play
safe by subscribing. It saves muscle
and stimulates the mind.

WHY PICK ON THE DEALER?

Some one has said that ther are less

The July crop report of the state
of Kansas reveals the fact that the
wheat crop in that state has shrunk
100000 since the June report, vet
it is claimed that the state will har-
vest the second largest crop of wheat
in the states history. With that big
shrinking in that state along with the
shrinkage in North and South Dakota
and Minnesota and the almost total
failure in Montana, we can look for
very little relief in the price Of flour,
in fact that commodity is. advancing
right along and many people are buy
ing their years supply right now in
order to be on the safe side and save
some money. The European countries
are buying all our cottons, fruits, ETC.,
and in consequence there will be very
little decline in prices along these lines
for some time to come. American bus
mess men are going to take their
wares to the best markets of the
world, consequently they are getting
enormous prices from the war strick-
en- countries of Europe while the peo-
pie Of this country have to stand the
gaff. Can you beat It? :

The government is going to put in
to operation two gigantic ocean liners
larger than any ships now afloat and
which will be designed to cross the
Atlantic in four days, and these grey
hounds of the ocean are to be built by
the shipping board. They will be one
thousand feet long and will be able to
60 80 knots per hour. They will be
equipped so that they can be used as
commerce destroyers in case of war.
It is marvellous what strides modern
science is making these days and
when you stop to think that they will
cross the Atlantic just as quick as you
can 20 from here to California we are
travelling very fast. It is hard work
keeping up these days.

The "dawn ofaNew Day" is arriv-
ing ever day in North Dakota as ad-
vertised and the dear people are COM
mencing to find it out. As result Of
the new compensation act ushered in
by this new dawn flour has been adj
vanced SOC per hundred to meet the
increase of taxation along these lines
and the suffering public is the goat as
usual. AS a result of this dawn of a
new day Ignite coal has been advanc-
ed $1.20 per ton out west to meet
these rosy conditions of the new dawn
and the people as usual have to suffer.
By the time we get all the amend
iments put onto US by the last legis-
lature and begin to pay the bills in
added taxation the dawn of the new
day in North Dakota will be anything
but rosy one to the average tax
payer.

The Times-Record suggests Maj.
D. S. Richie as suitable timber for the
judgeship of the new judicial district
in which Barnes county will be locat-
ed. As the judiciary should be entire
ly nonpartisan, here is an opportunity
for Governor Frazier to show his in
dependence and good judgment. The
Majors service in France eliminated
him entirely from the bitterness of
the late political campaign, and no
one will question his qualifications,
The Times-Record's suggestion is
timely. The Governor has been known
to rise to the occasion, notably in the
appointment of Colonel Frank White
to the colonelcy of the Second Reg
iment, the right man for the place.

The following from the Fargo Blade
has more truth than poetry attached
to it: The election Of socialist to
congress in St. Fanl district which
gave 12N00 for Wilson, with the
republican candidate second and the
democrat third, indicates the direc-
tion in which the present national
administration has been educating
public sentiment. The only alterRa-
tive to socialism in this country .
republicanism, and republicanism
must prepare to fight the batt1e
along these lines, without lodging,
trimming or compromise.

based entirely upon a newspaper re
port or some unreliable gossip III to
the causes Of underlying conditions.
In many cases the dealer in food
stuffs has been held accountable for
the high prices, has even been looked
upon as a 'profiteer in the minds az
many people. Others hold that the
wholesaler is the guilty party, making
vague and indefinite illusions to q
middle man.,
Neither Of these factors in the
chain Of distribution has any more
control Of the price at which articles
are to be sold than the consumer him
self. Perhaps no particular class is
more anxious to see sensible reduc-
ton in prices than is the retailer and
the wholesaler. With normal prices
prevailing, he can make fair profit
on Va reasonable investment. With
high prices prevailing, he must Be
satisfied with smaller profit and 4
considerably heavier investment.
So far as fruits and vegetables are
concerned, the proposition is simple.
There has been world shortage Of
food, and in consequence the strongest
demand that the market has ever
known. Europe is willing to pay any
amount to obtain this food. Growers,
being human beings, will sell their
products where they can get the high
est return. Therefore, it necessarily
follows that domestic buyers must pay
the price that foreign buyers are will
ing to pay. The retailer and the
wholesaler, like the consumer, are
victim of circumstances. They. can
not change immutable laws.
