TURNBULLS ARRIVE WITH
CAR FROM NORTH DAKOTI

CAR FROM NORTH DAKOTA
After bucking snow for four days
and rain for another four days, A. A.
Turnbull and his nephew, James,
Turnbull, arrived in independence
last Friday from Hope, North Da-
kota, the run of 1000 miles being
made in Is days with a Dodge
Brothers touring car.
Their only car trouble was tire
puncture, and when it is taken into
consideration that there were several
days when the mercury dropped sew
eral degrees below zero, and they
were following a snow trail, they
made a remarkably quick run. They
found some extremely rough roads
and are not advising auto traffic over
the Rockies as a pleasure stunt at
this time of the year.
A. A. Turnbull is abrother of H.
Turnbull who opened a store at Bu-
ena Vista few months ago and who
recently placed the stock in storage
here pending negotiations for open
ing a store in conjunction with his
brother. James Turnbull is the son
of the former Buena Vista merchant
and has been associated with his
uncle in the operation of the mer-
camille establishment in the North
Dakota town for several years.

COPELAND HAS PLAN
FOR HOUSING BOARD.
Health Commissioner Would Make
Central Commission Have FUN
Power.

The appointment of a central hous-
ing commission with plenipotentiary
powers TO cope with the housing sit
uation, is recommended by Health
Commissioner Royal S. opeland, who
has just returned from Europe, where
he studied housing conditions.
DR.. Copeland will go before the spe-
cial session of the New York state leg
islature next month and, with this
and other recommendations calculated
TO obviate the danger confronting
America because of the prevalent
housing shortage. Among the commits
sion's duties would be the handling
of all rent problems, the determination
of what is essential construction and
the seizure of houses withheld from
occupancy because of the exhorbitant
rent demand and rental of them at
reasonable prices to the homeless.
The commission would also have the
authority to erect buildings for the
laboring classes and to determine the
conditions under which they should be
rented or Sold" said DR.. Copeland.
at should have the authority to offer
bonuses to private individuals who
care oerect homes. The legislature
should also grant the city power to

well characterizes the imperialistic
ambitions of the great republic of the
North"
In reality, he declared, it ought TO
be said that the United States is "a
bastard brother in respect to the rest
of the American countries. There does
not exist between them and us the
same tie of brotherhood that we Latin
American countries have among our
selves"
The Monroe Doctrine, he continued,
has served as an admirable instru-
ment for the United States to separate
Europe from America and to establish
it's hegemony over the latter. The
United States has been at all times
preoccupied in obtaining concessions of
every kind at the cost of the sover-
eighty of the rest of the American
states" He argued that the doctrine
was. dangerous because it was North
American imperialism hidden under a
principle of international law"
DR.. Quintana concluded by saying
that the Pan American league DR..
Brum proposes, would be "an organ
ization. redounding exclusively to the
benefit of the Omitted States which
would convert itself iuridically and Of
ficially into the director of America
with consequent impairment and evil
dent danger to the other countries of
our continent"
DR.. Quintana's address is now being
circulated in booklet form under the
title "PoItica Americana" and is ded-
icated TO the late President Carranza
of Mexico.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
deals ATTACKED
Argentine Lawyer Says Monroe Doc
trine is Doctrine of America for
North Americans.

Buenos Aires, Sept. Sz.-The Monroe
Doctrine is not a doctrine of America
for the Americans" but of America
for the North Americans declared DIR.
Lucio NJ. Moreno Quintana, an Argen-
tine lawyer and a grandson of former
president of Argentina in an address
recently before the law students of the
University of Buenos Aires in which
he attacked the proposal made by
President Brum, of Uruguay last April
for the formation of an american
League.
President BRUINS idea that the
league should be based on a declara-
ton by all Latin American countries
similar to the Monroe Doctrine which
would thus place them on a footing of
equality with the United States in
maintaining that doctrine, was assert
ed by DIR. Quintana to be dangerous
one for Latin America. He told the
students that the danger law in North
American imperialism" for the Mon
roe Doctrine was an imperialistic doc
trine solely intended to maintain North
American hegemony over the rest of
the continent.
DIR. Quitana contended that the safe
ty of Latin American countries lay in
the formation of a league exclusively
among themselves, a Latin American
league of the countries of the same
origin, analogous customs, similar Ian
guage and processing the same ideals
and aspirations. 1t should be formed
with the end of uniting their common
interests and presenting a defensive
bloc against North American i'm
perialism and against any European
pretensions," though he believed the
latter would be very remote.
The recognition of the Monroe Doc
trine in Article 81 of the pact of the
League of Nations was q matter, he !
said, upon whose consequences for |
them, all the Latin American coun- !
tries, ought to mediate profoundly" !
Although DR.. BRUINS American |
concept was that of equality and fra !
ternity among all the nations of the !
two continents, DIR. Quintana declared |
that any one who considered that the !
United States would pretend to treat |
the rest of the countries of America |
as equals and brothers was utopian. |
He cited what he called instances of !
the continuous transgression of the /
n-American concept by the United
States after the proclamation of the |
Monroe Doctrine" among them the |
successive separations of Mexico" the !
armed intervention of the United !
States with European countries when
it collected the public debts of Vene- |
zuela," the threat of military inter
vention in Honduras and the demand |
of the United States upon Colombia
that it enact law for the exploita-
ton of petroleum on bases determined |
by the Yankee government under
threat that Colombia would be depriv- /
cd Of its indemnity Of SIS, 100000 voted |
by the North American parliament as
compensation for an act whose tnjus-
dce even the Yankees recognized-theI

Chips From the Wood Pile.

And still it is quite safe for the
millionaire to wear overalls. There's
always line of distinction between
the crease and the grease.
The young man who carefully pre-
pares himself for his life work finds
plenty of work to do. 'Tis only the
waster who finds his substance dwind-
ling.
A wish gratfied is no longer wish.
1t has lost its charm.
The man who minds his own business
generally finds that business well worth
minding.
Earth holds many blessings for you,
but it is not hunting you with brass
band and delegation of orators. Get
out and hustle.
There is no end to the financial wants
of mankind. Those of us who have no
money want it, and those who have it
want more.
The wise man listens to the opinion
of others. The fool thinks his own
are the only ones of value.
There is plenty of goodness in this
world. But the trouble is each man
thinks he has corner on the crop.
Energy and thrift will accomplish
many things. provided common sense
