Gov. Cox has started out on the
stump again, and has again found an
other deep laid plot on the part of the
republican party. This time he says
there is a scheme on foot to capture
the United States supreme court
that there will probably occur four
vacancies on that court in the next
four years and that if Mr.. Harding is
elected he will fill the vacancies by
appointing republicans to the bench.
How terrible distressing. Since Pres
ident Wilson has been in office he has
had occasion to appoint several men,
bers of the supreme court. Has any
one noticed him appointing republic
cans to fill those vacancies? Not to
any alarming extent. Then we might
add that the democrats had a deep
laid plot to get the supreme court,
couldn't we? 1t would be just as
foolish a statement as the one made
by Cox. The fact Of the matter is
that every day that the Ohio governor
goes on the stump he demonstrates
to the country at large that the job ,he
is seeking at this time is too big for
his caliber.

WRITES LETTER TO
FRIENDS ATV c.. N

Superintendent Floyd T. Goodier, of
the Chicago Heights schools in ILL
pois has written a letter to friends
here, in which he gives some inter-
esting data relating to the growth of
his school system. We are pleased to
quote:
"The last few weeks have been un-
usually busy ones for me. Since Au-
gust 13 seven teachers have resigned.
The two buildings were much over
crowded when school opened and ad-
ditional teachers had to be secured.
We still have one vacancy. We have
recently completed a four-room addi-
ton to one building and in February
expect to open two new eight-room
buildings. The number of teachers
has increased from sixty-four to
seventy-fve since l became superin-
tendent and will be at least eighty be-
fore the end of the year. Our enroll
ment is now about 1926" ....
Mr.. and Mrs. Goodier and the baby,
Alice, spent the summer in New York
state with relatives and friends from
the last part of July.
Mr.. Goodier was superintendent of
the Training School here from 1911 5 to
June, 1913, when he went to his pres
ent position. Friends will be glad to
know if his work and the growth his
schools are making.

Under the newspaper law passed by
the legislature two years ago the OIL

pointed by the state commission and
one paper was selected by this COM

same law provision was also MADE
to the effect that at the general cleo

could vote for the official paper. In
view of this provision the Times Rec

a request that the name Of this paper
be placed on the official ballot to be

THE GOOD SAMARI-
z .r. TAN IN CnTIECE

~ IAN IN COLkEGE
The editor found this contribution in
his box Friday afternoon. It was un-
signed but it is good enough to print
at that. We do not know whether it is
original with the one who handed it in.
A certain Freshman went down
from home to college, and she fell
among critics, who said that she had
no style; and that her manners were
awkward; and that she had an unat-
tractive personality; and they stripped
her of her confidence, her enthusiasm,
and her courage, leaving her hurt and
lonely and half dead.
And when the seniors saw it, they
were amused, saying, what a good
job the sophomores are doing on that
Freshman" and they passed by on
the other side.
And in like manner the juniors also,
when they saw it, smiled, and said,
"Yea, verify for she hath not the
making Of good society or club girl"
and they passed by on the other side.
But certain special student, as
she went about, came where she was,
and when she saw her, she was moved
with compassion, and came and
bound up her wounds, pouring in SYM
pathy and understanding. And she
took her to her own room, and set her
on her feet again, and brought her
into her own circle and was friend
to her.
Which Of these, thinkest thou, prov
ed neighbor unto her who fell among
critics. Go thou and do likewise.

BREAD

On Wednesday evening there ap-
peared in these columns an item stat
ing that flour, sugar and lard were
down, but that bread and other neces-
sites were still at the same figure,
also that when flour, sugar and lard
went up sometime ago there came a
raise without any trouble. This item,
gave the impression that all that en-
tered into the cost of bakery goods
was -four, sugar and lard. On May
22nd when we took possession of the
City Bakery the Barker bread was
not being wrapped, but was sold
without any waxed wrapper. Soon
after taking possession we started to
wrap all the Barker bread. Bread
wrappers on May 22nd were purchased
for $4.98 per thousand f. o. b. Valley
City. Recent purchase cost US $500
per thousand f. o. b. Chicago-pay-
ment six weeks in advance. On May
22nd wrapping paper cost US 6hc per
lb.-recent purchases cost US 15c per
ID. Eggs on May 22nd 5000 per 80
dozen case-today $14.00. Paper
plates on May 22nd 1885 per thous-
and f. o. b. Valley City-recent pur>
chase $4.90 per thousand f. 0. b. st.
Paul. Shipping cartons costing Us
15c on May 22nd are now costing &c,
Cartons costing us ACC on May 22nd
f. o. b. Valley City are now costing
Use and soc f. o. b. St. Paul. Just
yesterday morning we received a
shipment of 100 cartoons from St.
Paul via express-shipment was not
made as promised hence part Of ship
ment had to come by express. Cost
$54.l5, express and collection $14.02,
making cost Csc per carton for small
size. Fuel on May 22nd was costing
US $3.50 per cord, today $14.0O. The
above are just few items picked at
random. A few items outside of flour,
sugar and lard have declined just re-
Gently but is so small it is neglig-
IDLE when it comes to effecting the
price of the finished product. Salaries
Of all employees have been advanced
since May 22nd and do not forget that
freight and express rates have ad-
vanced rs per cent since May 22nd.
From May 22nd until just recently
everything has been advancing or
standing about at the same level.
During all this time no advance has
been made in the selling price of the
loaf. Can it be said that when things
recently advanced, a raise was re-
ceived without any trouble? Take
the cost of bread wrappers and add to
this 500 per month for labor and
electric current to wrap bread-does it
not add nearly 1c to the loaf of the
Barkersbread? Are you paying more
for your Barker bread today than you
did on May 22nd. Did we at any time
see in these columns paper, labor, fuel,
ETC., are advancing why does not
bread advance?
Wednesday we received notice that
flour had again advanced SOC per bar

the fight will now center along those
lines. We have always been against
the league of nations as formed across
the big herring pond under the Wilson
idea and we are mighty glad that Mr..
Harding has come out SO emphatic. 1t
shows that he has the courage of his
convictions. If we had two votes we
would like to vote twice for him on
that ground. We think this editorial
from the Fargo Forum is right to the
point: a>.-
Senator Harding's announcement
that it is mot Qualification but rejec-
ton" of the league of nations COW
enant that he seeks, at least joins the
issue.
Governor Cox is basing his cam
paign on the acceptance of the Wilson
covenant as it stands, without "nulli-
flying reservations"
Senator Harding has at last, frank
ly taken up the gauntlet and takes his
stand openly for rejection of the COW
enant.
Even Mr.. Harding's warmest ad-
mirers will admit that he has been
indefinite as to his stand on the
league of nations. Perhaps he has
been guilty of playing politics to some
extent, and has sought to avoid de.
finite stand which was bound to cost
him some votes whatever his decis-
ion might be. But he has announced
his position in plenty of time to per-
NIT the information to reach every
voter. He will not be elected as the
result Of any misunderstanding, for
there can be no misunderstanding as
to his attitude announced in his speech
lat Des Moines. He has "scrapped"
the league covenant.
The Forum regrets the decision, but
it's admiration for Senator Harding's
courage has increased because he
made it. We had hoped it possible to
reach a compromise on the
question of the league covenant
on basis which would permit Amer
lea to ratify the peace treaty with
certain reservations to the covenant
which would permit America to lend
her moral force to the league of ma
tons without committing her to take
hand in every European squabble.
But if the choice before us is to
be acceptance of the Wilson covenant
as it stands, or complete rejection,
there need be no hesitation. The choice
should be for rejection. And that is
the only choice left to the voter. The
election thus becomes, exactly what
President Wilson called it, national
referendum on his policies. He forced
that issue. He prevented a comprom-
Use. He insisted that it be all or
nothing. If that is the choice offered,
The Forum can see no alternative but
to take the ''nothing."

A farmer dropped into our office
this morning and said there was a
coal shortage. Horrors. We shalr
look for great big expose Of the l..
V. A. in tomorrow's Fargo daily So
cialist blaming the conditions onto
the independent forces of the state.
OF course the independents are to
blame for the coal shortage. Gov.
Frazier, however, might be pursuad-
ed to come to the relief of the people
and see to it that we have plenty of
coai-there should be no such thing
as coal shortage while this vownley
regime has control of the state.

The Courier-News is putting up a
great big roar these days in blaming
the Independents for the low price of
grain. Just why the Independents
should be blamed is impossiblesfor US
to fathom. The nonpartisan league
is in control of the state and has been
for the past five years. The leaders
promised the farmers that if they
were placed in power all the ills that
the flesh is heir to along farming lines
would be remedied but the bunch
seems to have overlooked this wheat
market. Why hasn't the nonpartisan
league attended to this and why have
the leaders allowed the farmers to be
robbed in this manner without pro-
test? The headquarters of our state
governmnt are in st. Paul next door
practically to the chamber of com!
merce where all this grain gambling
is done, yet we do not hear of Mr..
Townley, Mr.. Lenke or Mr.. Walter
Thomas Mills doing any vigorous
stunt to relieve the situation. We do

Congressman John M. Baer. the car
toonist, while making a speech at
Sharon the other day, minated that
all l. V. AS were a set of thieves
and rascals and that there was not an
honest man in the bunch. That was
about the gist of his talk and that is
about all the talk any of these medi-
cine men of the nonpartisan league
can say. They have no excuse to offer
for their failure in state affairs and
confine themselves to abusing the 9TH
er side and ridiculing any suggested
improvement. At the end of his dia-
tribe on the opposition Mr.. Baer said
that the league needed more members
and more money and suggested that
those who favored his side of the
fight kick in. Those who had occu-
pied the front ranks at that meeting
as hand clappers to give the meeting
a semblance of enthusiasm, very sud-
denly found out that they were needed
elsewhere and faded from view. The
collection was not very heavy, we are
told. People are getting tired of
kicking in" every time one of these
blatherskites makes an appeal for
more money.

JUST TWO HONEST MEN

We are planning to list the
"crooks,' the "robbers," the money
Huns and the dishonest minded
men of Fargo as they are classified
by the itinerant socialist newspaper
writer who was brought here some two
or three months ago by Mr.. William
Lemke to insult his fellow townsmen.
Here is partial list of the "unde-
srable citizens" of Fargo according
to his classification:
All members of the Fargo CONNER
cial club, and especially its officers.
All retail merchants of Fargo.
All bankers of Fargo.
All members Of the city commission.
All the retail coal dealers of Fargo
and Moorhead.
All the commercial travellers of Far
go.
Everybody connected with The
Forum in any way.
All the ministers of Fargo.
All members of the I. V. A. Zach
one of these has past" which is 60
ing to be exposed some day by Mr..
Lemke.)
And almost anybody else who
doesn't vote for Mr. Lemke.
That doesn't leave many really
desirable citizens outside of Mr..
Lemke and his editor
1t must be wonderful to be able to
size up the residents of city and pick
out all the ''crooks" and "grafters" in
such short space of time. Some of
US ordinary folks can live in a city
all our livs eand not find more than
two or thre men all told, whom we
class as ''crooks. Fargo Forum.
LEAGUE OF NATIONS ISSUE
Ever since the presidential cam
paign started up in earnest there has
been feeling in the country that the
two presidential candidates should de-
fine clearly their position on the
league of nations as brought back
home by President Wilson. Mr.. Cox
went to the White House, saw the
president, signed up to carry out his
program, and lately has come out for
the Wilsonian notion as to this Brit
ish made covenant. Mr.. Harding has
been rather backward in his views un-
til the past few days, but now he has
come out fiat footed against the pres
ent covenant and does not want it at
all. This makes the issue clear and

There is general movement all
over the country by the farmers to
have President Wilson take steps to-
ward placing an embargo upon the
dumping of Canadian wheat into our
American markets, which sends down
the price of wheat in this country. AS
a result of this Canadian grain COM
ing in here the farmers Of this country
are losing millions Of dollars and it
is about time this was stopped. The
farmers have been paying as high as
seventy and seventy-tive cents per
hour for getting this grain taken care
of, and in addition to that have been
feeding oats worth $1.25 per bushel to
their horses to get the crop harvested.
1t is All injustice to the farmers of the
country and our government should
take some steps towards remedylng
the matter Congressman George M.
Young has photographed the president
that he favors an embargo, other con-
gressmer and senators have done the
same thing, along with many bust
ness men of this state. 1t is time to
act and to act quickly to save the
farmers from great loss by this dump
ing Of Canadian grain into the Amer
lean markets.
