FOR AR
MENlAN ORPHANS

Mr.. Geo. B. Galley of this city, spoke
briefly in regard to conditions ID the
Near East or more specifically in Ar
nnenia, during chapel assembly Tues
day morning Of this week.
Armenia was, previous to the war,
a prosperous territory but the Turks
who rule the country took the .oppor
tunity offered by the war to extermin-
ate the people which was done by de-
portation. Over three million people
persisted during the war. Following
peace proceedings, the British and
French Withdrew their troops and 2
mandatory over the country was Of
fered to the United States. This was
refused BY Congress, therefore these
people are thrown upon the general
hospitality Of the American people.
AS the remaining adults are unable
to care for the orphaned children, We
must provide for the 300 900 orphans
that are left. Fifteen hundred are
apportioned to North Dakota and
sixty of these to Barnes county.
Mr.. Galley drew the very appropriate
parallel between the man who fell
among thieves and the unfortunate
Armenians. This is our opportunity
and privilege to do something to repay
these people who, since the third cen
tury, have preserved Christianity for
US. N. m.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK

Senator Calder and Edge, two OF
the members Of the senate committee
on reconstruction, have issued an ul-
timatum to the coal trade of the Unit
ed States which certainly will have the
backing of the consumers OF the ma
ton. -,
"Be good or you'll be regulated is
the ultimatum. 1t is Worded a little
more politely, but it fatty tells the
men who control the coal trade that
# prices are mot materially reduced
at once, and if the shameless specula-
ton and profteering in the coal trade
does not end, the committee Will pre-
sent bill in congress providing Tor
"most stringent regulation OF every
branch Of the business"
More power to them.
Some place between the mine and
the bin Of the consumer, some OUT
rageous protiteering has been com
n1itted in the coal tnde. The retailer
is far from being the chief offender.
Fargo considered the project OF a
municipal coal yard, but anyone who
studies the price of coal at the Du-
luth docks, the freight and handling
charges, and the cost Of delivery Will
be convinced that the margin OF proflt
for the retailer is not exorbitant, and
that municipal coal yard probably
would not reduce the cost OF coal TO
the consumer, unless the taxpayers
make up the reduction.
But there is we'll founded susplc-
ion that the coal business has suffered
as the sugar business did, from specu-
lators. These spectators We're OF two
classes. There were free lances who
entered the coal trade and by shrewd
buying and selling and the cornerlng
Of supplies that were urgently needed
by legitimate consumers Of coal, ex-
torted an outrageous profit for which
absolutely NO service was performed.
The second class consisted of "dum-
my companies organized by men In
fuential in the coal trade, for the ex-
press purpose Of extorting an addi-
tional profit from the consumer.
Coal prices hit the pocketbook OF
the consumer in a dozen indirect ways.
Fargo consumers can lay their high
gas and electricity bills to the exor-
bitant coal prices. Coal represents
much the biggest item in the cost Of
producing gas, and the local com
pany's coal bills have been doubled and
trebled
The republican administration and
the republican congress could take nc
more popular step than the most
stringent regulation Of the coal trade
from mine to bin, unless there is an
immediate and most sweeping reduc-
ton in prices all along the line Far

The Y. w. C. A. has been conduct
ing lively campaign for new mem,
bers. The barometers in the hall
were the center of interest for a few
days. The third year class came the
nearest to the 100 per cent enrolment
mark. Eighty-seven per cent OF their
members are ready to take the pledge
next Thursday. :,
Every girl who said she wanted to
belong to the association was given a
bow, no, not a beau,-there aren't
enough for one apiece; but dainty
knot of the Y. C. a. colors, blue
and white. While the rivalry has been
keen, at no time have the principles OF
the organization been neglected.
With a strong membership, new
year ahead, and earnest effort, we
hope to do good work.

WE AGREE WITH JERRY

1t is something new for The Courier
News to find itself in agreement with
Jerry Bacon of the Grand Forks Her
aid. But since election the Grand
Forks editor seems to have had new
conception of conditions here in North
Dakota. We have already called at
tention to his warning to public treas
urers to go slow in withdrawing funds
from the Bank Of North Dakota. He
has also just warned against efforts
to inject rancor and bitterness into the
state legislature. In this connection
he has something to say that every
business man opposed to the Nonpar-
tisan League should ponder: 81 t3sst
Whatever obligations the state
assumed must be carried out
faithfully. Whatever were the
purposes which inspired the enact
nent Of the mill and elevator law, Z
The Bank Of North Dakota law,
the rural credits law, the home
| building law, the insurance com
pensation and many other laws,
/ these laws are accomplished facts,
and not one of them must be ap-
preached in a destructive spirit.

perate spirit, and restrictions in
tended to prevent wild and unsafe
expansion in advance of adequate
, experience and information, may
be necessary. Bat the assembly
must be prepared to provide suffi-
Gent funds for the proper carry
, ing on Of all its departments on
a scale sufficiently large to dem
onstrate conclusively the wisdom
or nnwisdom Of further exparl-
sion along that particular line.

opponent Of the Nonpartisan League
and its program in years past that we
trust he will pardon US II we seem
somewhat incredulous upon reading

The establishment of nationwide

others receive" was predicted yester-

1--WE are willing to have a fair un-
Outstanding of values, the farmers re-
ceiving the same pay for the same
hours work that others receive. no
more, no less, but we feel that this is
the last call' he said. If no atten-
ton is paid to this now by bankers
manufacturers, railroads and labor
organizations, and if the government
continues to use its great power tc
import raw material free of duty te
reduce costs, then the grange will be
the first to help organize nationwide
selling organizations which shall H.

cause the initiated law recently passed
is supposed to give all the cities,
