saturday, Jan. 10. According to the
treaty, Germany is to turn over about
soo OF her citizens for trial, including

The United States has sent another
gentle note to Mexico protesting
against the murder Of another Ameri-

be getting little careless in their
behavior towards Americans and they
should be given gentle reprimand
and compelled not to kill very many
more Of our citizens.

William Jennings Bryan has thrown
a good sized bomb into President Will
sons political wigwam in his address
delivered at the jackson dinner. Bry-
an and Wilson have split seriously.
Wilson would carry the League of Ma
tons into the next election, delaying
the signing Of the treaty of peace for
another IA months. Bryan favors
compromising some of the points. He
credits the president with, doing the
best that he could to give US the prop
er kind of league of nations, but
hints that the cards were stacked
aginst him by the selfish interests of
the European countries. Bryan is I'M
doubtedly planning on becoming a
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton and it would not be at all sur
prising if Mr.. Wilson under the cir
cumstances would become candidate
for the third term. Unless the DEM
ocrats can make good use of the
League of Nations as the main plank
in their platform, it appears that it
will make little difference whether
Bryan, Wilson, McAdoo or any other
member Of that party is selected.

RELIC OF BY-GoNE DAYS.

RELIC OF BY-GONE DAYS.
The Independent has just installed
one Of the most interesting newspaper
relics in the Northwest, an old Wash.
ington hand press which is more than
100 years old. The press will be used
as proof press, so in reality it will
serve dual purpose. The old press
looks a good deal out Of place along
side the large, modern, electrically
operated intricate presses and other
pieces of machinery that are to be
found at the Independent plant. The
old press was made of the very best
hand forged steel and was built to
last thousand years. The pictures
of George Washington and Ben
Franklin appear on the press and the
outfit was identically the same as
that used in the days of Franklin him
self, Many who have heard of the old
Washington hand press, but who have
never had the opportunity of seeing
one, may call at our plant and we will
give you a work-o on it. Every we'll
regulated gym" ought to have one of
these contraptions.
The Independent was printed on a
Washington hand press in the early
days, The proprietors did most of the
mechanical work Of the small plant of
those days and the exercise they de-
rived from operating the press made
them as lean as race horses and as
husky as pugilists.
The old press has bit of history
1t was used at Burlington, N. D., in
the days when that town was the
county seat of Ward county, some IS
years ago, when "Jim" Johnson pub
lished the Burlington Reporter This
was shortly before the crooked Micct
politicians stole the county seat away
from Burlington. The Burlington Re-
porter was edited by j. K. Mcleod,
"Little Mac" who several years ago
passed to his reward If the old press
could only talk, it could tell a great
deal of early political history Of I'm
perial Ward.
We remember well of hearing Lit
tie Mac" tell of the advent of the
newspaper plant in Burlington. The
plant, including the press that has at
last found an abiding place in the In
dependent office, was hauled to Bur-
lington from "away down east" some
where. It was not even honored by
being conveyed in motor truck, but
was hauled in hay rack, propelled
by a team of risky mules. Little
Mac himself chaperoned the equip
mlent, and as he remarked, it was
"some trip"
