The peace OF her dowry breast.
Yet shall keep this rendezvous,
And deem all hardships sweet,
If at the end of the long white way
There Life and shall meet.
Sure some would cry it better far
To crown ther days with sleep,
Than face the road, the wind, the

To heed the calling deep.
Tho wet nor blow nor space ! fea'
Yet fear deeply too,
Lest Death shall greet and claim

HANDLING A MENACE

Over twenty-six thousand aliens arrived at
the port of New York last week. Should this
rate of immigration continue it will mean a
yearly addition of 100000 persons of alien
blood to our cosmopolitan population. All Of
these newcomers must be provided for. They
must be housed and fed, and they must be given
employment or they will become burden upon
our already staggering resources. Unfortunate
ly, in the face of this invasion we have slacken-
ing of industrialism that means the throwing
out of employment Of thousands of American
workmen. The situation is really serious, and
the next Congress should take prompt measures
to restrict foreign immigration in the interest
of public welfare. The newcomers are largely
common laborers and farmers. The farmers we
can use upon our central western farms, and the
others should be directed into like occupations,
where they can learn to produce actual wealth,
rather than be permitted to herd in the cities,
where congestion is a menace. If we must alb
sorb this great influx Of European humanity we
should see that it is properly distributed among
English-speaking people, where the language
and customs of America may be acquired, and
that they are not permitted to segregate into
communities, where they fall an easy prey to
agitators and Bolshevik emissaries.

A BUSY SESSION AHEAD

The session of Congress- which meets Decenl-
Der 9Th, and remains in session until March 4th
1921, will be enlivened by many discussions
even if it is not fruitful in legislation. There are
many things about which the American people
want to know and about which they have a
right to know, but about which they have been
kept in ignorance. The present administration,
with war upon its hands, has given very little
attention to domestic concerns. There has been
extravaganza and mismanagement everywhere,
obstinate resistance to cutting down of expenses
in any quarter; appropriations have been pass
ed without thought of economy; the deporta-
ton of undesirable citizens has been halted, and
Soviet enemies have been permitted to spread
their poison propaganda among the people,
The inadequate work of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance in the rehabilitation of disabled
soldiers the financial losses incurred in the sale
OF surplus army supplies; the mal-administra-
ton OF the army reorganization act; the Jones
shipping act; the appalling list of deaths in the
aerial mail service, and numerous and varied
other matters and Investigations that will keen
Congress busy to the limit of the tenure of the
administration.
Not only will there be plenty for Congress to
do, but there will be plenty to undo; but in
every case let us hope that wisdom, economy
and loyalty to the nation will govern everv act.

POLITICAL VENOM

Political antagonism that knows no end in
victory or defeat should have no place in the
battling of Americans at the polls for the
power of governing by the principles of enc
side or the other. To fight for what he or she
deems right and just is honorable but it is not
right nor honorable to carry that fight into the
personal lives of opponents to the extent of en-
bittering friendships, and creating class hatred
The carrying of political animosity into club
and social life is to be condemned bitterly -
and is by every right thinking 100 per cent
American, man or woman, as it may be. Each
faction in economics of the country or state is
as justly entitled to his or her opinions as the
other.
fight for what each thinks right in govern
ment for the country and for the state will go
on even unto eternity - but that does not nor
will it ever, warrant the political venom that has
been so evident in North Dakota of recent years.
When that ideal of things polite wherein
each side of any given economic question of
great or small moment arrives that all shall con-
cede to his fellow man the right of opinion -
honest opinions, then shall the country progress
for the good of all and the personal benefit Of
none

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1920
LOWERING PRICES NDLABoR

There is no way of getting away from the
fact that prices must come down from the pin
nacle of profiteering frenzy. What the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury told the convention of
bankers needs to be told to managers of indus
try and business, as we'll as to the workers.
The invincible and inexorable truth is that in
flated, artificial and unsupportable prices of
abundant commodities can not be maintained,
but must fall toward their natural levels. War
prices cannot be maintained. The people will
not buy when they have good reason to believe
that by "watchful waiting they will accom-
plish a great deal toward reducing the prices
of commodities to prices nearer actual values.
Undoubtedly it is hard thing for farmers
to raise their drops at high labor cost and sell
them in falling market, which will not give
them proper remuneration for their outlay
When prices were rising, multitudes made
money fast. They marked up their wares and
dug up their obsolete stocks and made clean
up that put them in possession of more money
than they ever saw before in their lives. Every
body was eated at the rising prices, except the
laboring man, whose wages did not keep pace
with the rise, and he suffered. Now that prices
have gone up over the crest and are coming
down upon the other side of the hill the mer-
chant and the manufacturer should be as willing
to mark down their goods as they were eager
to mark them up when the opportunity offered
and permit the laborer and the general public
to secure the benefit of declining prices upon
wage that has at last been raised to point
somewhere near the requirements of human
existence. It will be better for US all to get back
to an equitable basis, rather than to try the i'm
possible by holding prices so high that men will
take chance upon term in prison, rather than
pay the price demanded.

MORE CONGRESSMEN

One OF the duties confronting the 9th Con-
gress will be the passage of new apportion-
ment law for the election of Representatives.
Under the 1920 census the membership of the
House will be increased from 435 to more than
485 unless the present proportion of one Con-
gresham to each 211,s77 of population is
changed. Even though the membership is main
tained as at present by increasing that ratio, it
Will mean that some States will haye to sur
render one or more members in favor of other
States that show greater population increase
IN the last decade. If the number of Congress-
men IS reduced, still more sacrifices must be
made. The question is complex and embarrass-
ing, one which will require maximum of tact
and legislative acumen to solve successfully.

RELEASE PAL Of
DEAD CIRCUS LAD
No Evidence to Suspect
Evansville Youth,
Says Perry.

Ar Luttrell l6 of Evansville, Ind,
was released from the county jail
Thursday by order OF Sheriff o. II.
Perry. The boy. who was the pal OF
Johnnie Engler, also Is and from
Evansville. was held following the find
ing Of Engler's body on the railroad
tracks near Woodstock early Tuesday.
The sheriff stated mat investigation
disclosed no reason for ho'dirg Luttrell,
and that the boy knew nothing OF the
cause Of his pairs death. Both youths
had followed the Hagenbeck Wallace
circus TO Memphis from their home
city
The theory that Engler was killed
while trying to board a freight train
was borne out by the investigation of
Deputy W, l., Goswick. who was de-
tailed by Sheriff Perry to check up the
case, This report by the deputy fore
stalls any further effort to place the
blame on a trainman, who probably
would have been charged with murder
ad Goswick reported that circum
stances pointed that Engler met death
when showed from a moving train.
Goswick stated Thursday that he
based his report on the manner in which
Engler met death upon the nature Of
the wounds on the body. A large hole
had been torn in the back of Engler's
skull, another on the top, while a
straight edged object had torn fur
row across one side of his forehead
and scalp, severing the top of an ear
The lads neck also was broken
There Is no doubt in my mind that
the boy tried TO board a moving freight
train was dashed against a door, which
collided with his forehead and then
was thrown to death on a crosstie, ="
Goswick said in his report
Engler's body was forwarded by
