A TRIBUTE TO HOLBEIN

Will f. Holbein, secretary of the
Minot Association of Commerce for
the last five years and now one of
the prominent men of North Dakota.
has resigned his position to take the
secretaryship of the Good Roads asso-
citation of North Dakota and will soon
move to Bismarck.
Mr.. Holbein was formerly connected
with the Register as its foreman in
years gone by and is the son.in.law
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. r. Hubbart OF this
city. The last issue of the Minot
Daily News uses the following as its
leading editorial which is very com
plimentary to Mr.. Holbein and his
work in Minot:
The announcement that Will e.
Holbein has resigned the secretary.
ship of the Association of Commerce
and will leave Minot within a month
has caused widespread and general
regret. Few men in this city are bet.
ter known both locally and throughout
the state and one is more deservedly
popular. It's 'BilP with everybody
and Minot people have as yet scarcely
begun 20 realize how much they will
miss the big genial man at the Asso-
citation of Commerce headquarters.
Mr.. Holbein's election to the see.
r~etaryship of the good roads associa-
ton of North Dakota is a lattering
tribute to proven ability and personal
qualities which are an asset to any
organization.
"Mr. Holbein has been an enthu-
siast for good roads and his consistent
energy has been an important factor
in the development of the Roosevelt
highway as well as in connection with
other movements for better roads.
This good work is now to be ex-
tended over the entire state and the
Minot man takes the helm Of the good
roads movement at an important turn
ing point in its history. North Da-
kota is on the eve of a newer and
larger era Of highway development.
The state Is moving to take it's place
alongside Of Minnesota and other pro-
gressive commemorative in the tran
sition to the hard surface road policy
and the extent of what the future holds
in store in the way of improvement is
perceived as yet only by the far see
ing and the prophetic.
"The appointment by the state asso-
citation enables Mr.. Holbein to broaden
the work in which he has pioneered
and will give him opportunity to de-
vote TO the larger field of the whole
state the qualities which have been
SO successfully displayed in Minot."

MISS RUDE GAINS NOTE

The Music News, a Chicago weekly

in regard to the progress being made
in music by Miss Evelyn Rude, a
well known Bookings girl:
IAN enjoyable recital was given on

Lucille Stevenson. One always ex-
poets the best in both music and
artistry from the pupils of Miss
Stevenson, and such was the case in
this instance.
The program-giver was Evelyn

strides since coming to the studio.

varying in style and mood, display
ing her voice to good advantage. Her
poise was delightful and her manner
OF singing so unaffected and convinc-
ing as to inspire her audience with
confidence.
Miss Rude is endowed with a lovely
lyric soprano, but her middle voice
Is broad and deep enough for a very
fine rendition Of the Brahms and
Schubert songs, which she chose. The
lady was forced to respond to several
encores and it was truly a delightful
evening"

Under the caption: Settling Labor
Disputes" the Detroit News discusses
the Kansas industrial relations law
and its workings as follows:
On paper Governor Aliens indus
trial court in Kansas has always
looked as tho it could stand a good
bit Of buffeting about before it would
so to pieces. And even in practice,
while it has not been made to bear the
bTunt of any serious attack, this court
Is no doubt responsible for the fact
that for the first three months of the
year there has been no real strike in
Kansas as compared to something like
four dozen strikes covering the same
period last year. To accomplish even
this it might be worth creating an in
dustrial court.
But organized labor has never
warmed up to the idea. From the
very beginning its opposition was
strong. sltho the most that organized
labor could say against it, and still
stick to facts, was to say that the court
had had no chance to meet any really
great difficulty such as any serious
strike would present. In the mean
| time the court has gone on about its
business, settling to the satisfaction of
all parties concerned whatever dis
putes were brought before it.
Today the organized miners in Kan
sas are those most strongly opposed
to the industrial court, and perhaps
within short time there may come
the real crisis which will put it to the
acid test. The strike which it was
thought for some time would be called
for April ! has been put off by union
leaders. They have as yet set no date
for the walS-out.
The latest decision OF the court,
however. is not of "a nature to
strengthen the case OF its opponents.
1t is reported that the first wage pc
tition to come before the Kansas court
| of industrial relations resulted in a
victory for the workers, who were
awarded an increase from GO to 81 "a
cents an hour. The men involved were
the nnemen for the Topeka Edison
company. So that from the facts
available at this time it looks as tho
the case has been decided on its mer-
/ its. At least 1t will serve to awaken
confidence that Governor Allen is on
| the right track with his court of in
| dustrial relations.

Colonel Bryan's monetary theory in
1895, from that side Of the water, now

financiers of their fear at that time

more than that and has passed far

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.

Decidedly optimistic is the tone of
Henry Clew's Financial Review ap-
pearing under date of April 3. Con-
tinued reports of prosperity are re-
ceived, from the interior districts, he
says, and as spring work has opened
up in the agricultural regions of the
west and southwest it is seen that crop
prospects are Of an unusually favor
able description for this season of the
year -
The principal sources of anxiety, it is
set forth. are found in scarcity of farm
labor and in inadequate equipment of
the railroads. the latter tending to pre-
vent both satisfactory movement of
supplies to the farms and adequate re-
turn movements of agricultural prod
ucts to the consumer. As for the la
Dor shortage, it is pointed out, it is a
two-sided situation. Manufacturers
all over the country have been ur-
gently demanding a greater labor sup
ply. complaining that they are unable
to carry their productive power up to
100 per cent efficiency unless they can
get such assistance. This great need
of labor and the fact that it has taken
form in abnormally high wages has
powerfully tended to bring workers
from the extractive industries to the
factories and to indoor work in gem
eral.
In one way, says Mr.. Clews, this is
another index of prosperity the de-
mand for goods both for local con-
sumption and export being so great
as to necessitate the full employment
of capital of every description. Re-
ports from the steel iron, automobile
and textile trades show not only
fuller employment than at any time in
recent months, but also smaller de-
gree of labor unrest and probably a
lesser number of strikes than on any
recent date, while the plants them
selves are not only operating at as full
a capacity as possible, but have booked
orders far ahead, in many cases up to
or beyond the calendar year.
These facts have become a familiar
story within the recent past, but they
hive never stood out SO prominently
as they do today in thu business con-
dition reports of the producing re-
gions. It is no wonder in these cir
cumstances that industrial earnings
have held their own remarkably well
in spite OF the heavy burden of taxa
ton to which they have been subject
ed, and in spite also of the high prices
OF labor and materials with which they
had to contend.
