1t is easy to catch
a blind horse

as is noticeable every day along a
milk white, sandy road at the edge
of the bay shore where colored
man has a no top wagon and a
blind horse. Poor old fellow, he
takes weeds and mouldy, half
rotted hay from the hand of a do
little driver, who feeds him with
anything he can pick up at the
roadside while waiting at the dock.
Curiously enough, this fact is
no more true than that a large
majority of the people who buy
dress goods and house furnish
ings are as blind as that horse
as to the goodness and true
values of what they have to buy,
and are easily caught by adver-
tising nets.
1t must be so, or there would
not be so much money spent for
freshly over-painted advertising,
which is to the discredit of all
merchants, who are supposed to
be all alike.

Luehrs Says Anyone Who Can
Shoot EN- More Rapidly
Can Have a Job

w. E. Luehrs, chief of the automo.
mile registration division, scrambling
up the side of a mountain of sacks
containing the days outgoing mail,
paused long enough last evening to
intimate that il anyone thought they
could shove out license tags any fast,
er than they're going at this present
moment has an excellent show for a
job at the state house.
There has been complaint. especial
ly from the Red river valley, over de-
lays in obtaining tags. AS matter
of fact, thanks to the legislatures re
hashing of the automobile registra'
ton act and the transfer Of the regis
tration department from the secretary
of states office to the highway com
mission, this department is now three
months behind its usual schedule.
Applications for tags are being hon
ored as rapidly as is humanity possible,
Sixteen sacks filled with tags and re-
ceipts left the offices Of the registra
ton division last evening, and this is
only an average days work. Mr.
Luehrs asks that the public show a
little patience and assures auto own
ers whose applications are on file that
they will be protected if pinched for
the lack Of tag. u

SEN JOHNSON. !. :.
SAYS WILSON
CHANGED FRONT
Californian Asserts President
Has Surrendered Without
Semblance of Contest

Washington, May 3.-Senator John
son of California, Republican, today
charged that President Wilson had re-
versed his stands upon secret treaties
in the Fiume dispute anG had surren-
dered without the "semblance of a con-
test" to Japan, in the controversy over
the. disposition = of ! Shang Il Tung, by
which, he said, millions of Chinese
were delivered into bondage. .,.-sz
"A week ago." Senator johnson
said, "out of the darkness, the plot
and counteraplot, the cunning intrigue,
and bargaining of the peace, confer
ence, there came ray of light when
the president denounced secret trea-
ties. His press agents told us how
firmly he would stand against Italy's
secret treaty and Japan'se worse secret
treaty. Within week after an imi-
tation barrage upon racial equality
the Japanese boldly made their de-
mands and without the semblance Of
contest apparently the president for
gets his words which we were re-
echoing and adjectly surrendered.
'This is simply another concrete
illustration of the League Of Nations.
The powerful member Of the league
will obtain by its strong arm exactly
what it demands. Under her secret
agreement she demands that she keep
these lands and people, and the peace
conference pledged to self-determina-
tion forgets it's pretenses and protes-
tations and delivers into bondage mil
lions of helpless people,"

MEMORIAL FOR
NORTH DAKOTA
YANKS PLANNED
Historians Meet This Afternoon
to Talk Over Tentative
Plans for Fine Building
100000 is APPROPRIATED

The directors of the state historical
society met in Secretary of State
Halls office this afternoon to discuss
tentative plans for the erection of a
memorial building in honor of North
Dakota soldiers, sailors and marines
who served in the worlds war, for
which 100000 was appropriated from
the capitol building funds by the Six
teenth, general assembly,, b
act provides that the building
shall be erected on the capitol grounds
by the state board of control, for ex-
ecutive purposes, and that it shall be
known as the Liberty memorial build
ing Of North Dakota Such building
may contain suitable memorial to
Theodore Roosevelt and any other
soldier or sailor whose life has been
closely connected with the history of
the state. Such building is hereby
forever dedicated to the memory of
the soldiers, sailors and marines Of
North Dakota who served this nation
in the great world war" ...l ~
1t is required that the building
shall be fireproof, constructed along
designs furnished by the state archi-
tect or such other architects as the
board of control may designate. 1t
is to be so planned that it can be used
for the accommodation of the adju-
tant geenral and other state officials,
the state historical society and its
museums, library, records, trophies,
pamphlets and historical data, and for
such other purposes as the state board
of control may deem advisable.
The site is to be not less than five
nor more than ten acres allotted from
the capitol grounds, and the building
shall be far enough from the present
state house to protect it in case of
fire, but not so distant that heat and
light caanot; be conveniently piped to
the new Structure from the central
power plant. A landscape architect is
to be engaged to lay out the grounds
surrounding the building, and it is
planned to SO plant this park as to af-
ford an appropriate outdoor museum
of native trees, plants, vines, grasses
and flowers.
An attractive feature of the park
will be a grove of elm trees, one of
which will be dedicated to each North
Dakota, soldier who fell in the recent
war. Rep. C. w. Mcdonnell of Ken
sal, was the author of House Bill 121
providing for the Liberty memorial
bill, and the measures had the support
Of all the states pioneer, historical
and patriotic societies. The appro-
priation comes from an accumulation
of $750,0O0 in the capitol building
fund and necessitates no tax levy.

CANADIANS TO
INVADE NORTH
DAK'0TAIN JULY
Permission for 800 Troopers to
Cross Border Given by
Secretary of State

With tn g consent of Governor Fra
zier, official permission will be con
ferred by Assistant Secretary OF
State Francis Polk upon 500 Canad
ian troops, with their officers and
all the accoutrements of war, to in
wade North Dakota, by way of Emcr
son, Man, next July. Advice to tai;
effect was conveyed to Governor Fra
zier in a most diplomatic-appearine
letter from the state department at
Washington yesterday. Mr.. Polk, act
secretary of state in the absence of his
chief, who is in Paris with President
Wilson, advised that the request for
800 Canadian troops in uniform and
under arms to enter this state next
July had come from Secretary B. V
Moore of the Fargo homecoming com
mittee, which is to stage big recep
ton for returned soldiers July 81.
Assistant Secretary Polk wrote Gov
ernor Frazier that Washington viewed
this enterprise with favor and that al
that was lacking was the approval Of
his excellency, the governor of Ncrtf
Dakota. This approval has already
been conveyed to Washington, but
evidently had not reached the state
department.
Mr.. Polk advised that the secretar
les of the treasury and of labor would
