wages in their plants 22h per cent. or,
in other words. to establish them on
the basis prevailing in 1919. Is big
step in this direction. Business men
| feel that this action, reported to be
planned for enforcement on December
20. will be followed by the adoption
of similar policies in many branches
of trade. The fight inaugurated by
the mems clothing producers In New
York for an open shop and piecework
has back Of it the intention Of de-
iating abnormal labor costs, accord

struggle.
The question Of tariff legislation

n'ahed with the power to act when

last week. in addressing the conven-
! ton of the International Association
of Garment Manufacturers, gave n
solemn warning that Europe could be
expected to begin large-scale produce

labor, thus giving stiff competition
to domestic manufacturers. The cot

NEWSPAPER SERVICE

The newspaper, like any other enterprise of
a useful character in commercial life, is a
business proposition and only in the measure
that it is financially successful is it able to rem
der the service it should to its patrons and all
of the people in the field in which it. circulates.
1t must be impartial. It must give the news,
presenting facts, and editorially it must have
a policy in conformity with the highest ideals,
setting forth and giving it's approval to those
things which are for the advancement of the
country in general and the community in which
it circulates in particular. =.
to do this very thing-its editor is for the people
of Devils Lake and vicinity, and for the institu-
tions of Ramsey county, state and nation first,
last and all of the time. 1t aims to give those
who wish to be heard an opportunity to present
the claims they have for the attention of the
public whether in the new columns or in the
advertising section. It is, of course, impossible
that everybody should agree with everything
that is said in The World; that is expecting too
much of human nature. People who start a
crusade do not feel that they have accomplish
ed anything until they meet with opposition. The
newspaper with the right ideals renders a valu-
able service to the community in which it op-
crates. 1t seeks to secure and maintain the con-
fdence of it's patrons. A newspaper that does
not, in a measure, accomplish this, has no place
in the life of the community in witch it is pub
lished. -

ANOTHER PROPOSED SURRENDER

The-State Department under the present un-
American administration proposes another
surrender Of American rights and interests.
Secretary of State Colby has sent to the Sem
aters a letter outlining a proposed fisheries
treaty between the United States and Great
Britain which would grant to Canadian fishing
vessels preferential privileges in ports of the
United States with freedom from port dues or
charges.
The privileges of entry and sale in American
ports now is the exclusive prerogative of fishing
vessels of the United States. 1t is a part of the|
great American doctrine of protection to Amer
lean interests.
The proposed treaty will give to the fishing
vessels of the United States, presumably like in
terests and rights in the ports Of Canada, and in
addition the right to land and sell in Canadian
ports without the payment Of duty.
The right of American fishing vessels to land
in Canadian ports'for supplies, etc., already is
available under the treaty of 1918. The propos-
ed treaty will surrender the American markets
to Canadian market-a hard bargain of inestim-
able value to Canadians. The present admins.
tration proposes to exchange the American
market for the Canadian market, a hard bargain
for the. United States. This liz another chapter
in5the Free Trade story Of the Wilson admins
tration.

POLITICAL ISLANDER REBUKED

Minneapolis journal. Judge johnson of Red
Wing dispensed nothing more than exact JUS
tice, when he held that Mr.. Kvale had disquali-
fed himself for candidacy for congress on the
Republican ticket in the Seventh district, by ut
tering and circulating statements about this op-
ponent, Mr.. Volstead, that were proved to be
false.
Mr.. Kvale is a minister of the gospel. That
very fact laid upon him the obligation of speak
ing nothing but the truth about Mr.. Volstead,
for his cloth carries with it the implication that
he is scrupulous in truth-telling as in other
Christian qualities. The people of the Seventh
district were naturally far more inclined to &C
ord belief to any statements that Mr.. Kvale
might make than to assertions of other men not
so strongly committed by profession to strict
adherence to the truth.
Thus when Mr.. Kvale falsely charged that
Mr.. Volstead not only spoke sneeringly of the
Bible, but was in fact an atheist, he must have
carried conviction to many strict believers in the
doctrines of Christianity. He might with no
greater moral obliquity have paid out money
for votes. In quality his offense was as heinous,
his crime as reprehensible, as would have been
the corrupt use of money. Indeed, it might be
argued that he had done worse, for he attempt
ed by falsehood to blast Mr.. Volstead's reputa-
ton among a people so large a share of whom
hold. to a strict and reverent faith.
Mr.. Kvale failed entirely to substantiate his
charges.
The decision, if it shall be affirmed by the Su-
preme Court, will go far to make the corrupt
practices law an effective and benefcient piece
of legislation. 1t will serve notice on those who
utter libels against candidates that their Of
lenses are punishable and will be punished. It
will make politics cleaner and higher toned in
Minnesota. 1t will raise our campaigns to a
higher level and lead to the selection Of can
didates on grounds Of public policy and fitness.
BY making mud-slinging dangerous it will in
vite to- the public service men of fine quality
who heretofore have hesitated to subject them
selves to such experiences as Mr.. Kvale inflict-
ed upon Mr.. Volstead.

ABOUT PAYING debts

: Advising a man to pay his debts is a good
deal like telling a fellow that it doesn't profit
him to get sick. Too frequently the men can do
more pay his debts than he can keep from get
ting ill. But the statement is not true all along
the line. There are too many people who can
pay their debts, but who prefer to use the money
for something else. And that is exactly why
it is a good idea to urge everyone to pay his
debts right now.
Every man in Devils Lake could be rich to-
day if he had gone in debt a few years ago,
provided only that he had gone into debt for
something worth the price then asked for it.
If we'd bought a house on credit five years ago
for, say, $4,000, we could now pay for it in So
called cheap dollars and have a good many left.
Which mean the house is now worth $4,000,
and could be sold for that amount, leaving us a
profit of five thousand. Il
So it seems to reduce itself to this: The time
to get into debt is when money is scarce and
the time to pay debts is when money is plenti-
full. There is no need to state the fact that al
though a little tighter now than it was a year
ago money is still plentiful, otherwise it would
not require so much of it to buy any commodi
ity. And right now the man who pays his debts
is really making money by it. :. -

Way down in Tennessee, the editor OF The
Jellico Carry-On, under the heading of 'The
Next President" begins with, Some of us have
about come to the place where we don't care a
rop whether the man is a Democrat, Republican
or on the fence. But there are other things
ne must be. We would like a man who can
devote a little attention to the affairs of Uncle
Sam and less to Corsica and the Isle of Man. We
want a plain old fashioned American; not a
dreamer nor a theorist or an international star
gazer. Harding and Coolidge seem endowed
with the qualifications. If we can't have Hard-l
ing give us a Democrat just as good because this
is an election to choose a President of the United
States and not for the League ofNations."
