back to Europe but we had come back an
ally to the exact extent we had been an ally
when we left the Supreme Council after the
failure of the treaty
IT logical and inevitable, therefore,
that the Supreme Council should in it's turn
(having disposed OF the German matter) in
vito us to resume our position at the council
table of the allied nations And 1t was
equally logical and inevitable that President
Harding should accept the invitation. In
reality we had been a prominent participant
in European affairs for many days before
we actually consented to be represented in
the Supreme Council, and that consent only
recognized an existing fact.
1t is plain, however that in returning to
the European council table President Har
ding and his advisers have quite different
conceptions of American participation than
had President Wilson. The latter went to
Paris to establish a world system intended to
abolish war; The League OF Nations was
the "be-all" and the "end-all' of that for
mer participation. To realize that purpose
Mr. Wilson agreed to many conditions, made
many concessions, which in the end mainly
contributed to the defeat of the Treaty of
Versailles in the Senate. In the minds of
many Americans, at least, we stood bound
to defend European frontiers and to preserve
a settlement, some features of which, notably
Shantung, offended American justice and
did violence to American interests.

Nearly one-third less men are en-

less than in April, 1921. In only three
of the sixteen industries was an in

WHAT YOUR VOTE WILL MEAN

1t doesn't take much serious thot to discern
the real truth behind the recall election. If
the majority of voters cast their ballots in favor
of the proposed initiated measures, it will utter
ly destroy the North Dakota industrial program
and wipe out efforts of the farmers to secure
an economic standing for which they have
fought for since as early as 1898 Is North
Dakota to be credited or it's people, with so
little common mentality that after years of
struggle and great objective in sight, that it
is to be fooled by the action of interests that
for years have bled it's farmers, merchants and
all its people, who now propose to yet block the
interests that mean the very livelihod of the
state? 1t is not a question of the l. " Aism or
Nenpartisanism, it is a question of what the
people themselves have demanded and propose
to have--they have demonstrated they want it
by vote after vote-the progressive program
which happen to be the one initiated by the
farmers.
Will the people of this state, an agricultural
one in which all it's people are dependent upon
the tllers of the soil for bread and butter, vote
to again place it in the throes of powers that
for years have retarded development and sap
ped the profits of its labors into the Golfers of
eastern capitalists? 1t is for you to decide, Mr.
Voter, when the recall election comes
vote for the initiated measures is a vote to
install the railroads, big eastern bankers and
the grain gamblers into power-a vote against
the initiated measures will be vote for an
honest completion and operation of program
that will save the farmers millions of dollars
annually-and give the merchants of North Da-
kota millions of dollars in trade and make hap
py contented citizens of the great majority

BUYING AT HOME.

How many people complain that the stores
do not have the goods they want to buy? How
many are sending their money to the mail order
houses for things they think they are buying
cheaper than they can get them of the local
merchants? If we knew the amount of money
that is spent out of town every year we would
be surprised. 1t runs into the big figures, drain
ing our community of it's resources and depriv-
ing our local merchants of the business that
should be theirs and ours; for it is our business
to spend our money at home and keep within
the limits of our municipality the money that
we have earned.
Money sent out of town for merchandise that
should be purchased at home does not come
back and we and the town suffer for the
thoughtless acts of those who fatten the big
city merchants at the expense of our common
wealth.
If the trade of this community was kept at
home our town would be more prosperous. The
money we have earned would be in circulation,
and would, in the course of business, come back
to us perhaps several times in the course of the
year; but that sent out of town does not come
back It is gone forever.
Our local merchants are paying taxes, con-
tributing to local enterprises, supporting our
schools and our churches, helping the poor and
the needy, and giving their aid to every public
enterprise and every community interest. Know
ing this to be fact why should we not help
them and ourselves by keeping within the bor-
ders of our community the circulating medium
that is so essential to our prosperity
1t may be that the local merchant does not
have what you want but he can get it for you
and it is absolutely certain that his place of
business would be better stocked if he could
depend upon local patronage for the business
that is rghtfully his and economically your in
terest to give to him.
When we want to construct schoolhouse
build church, repair highway or provide for
the poor do we assess the city merchant or mail
order house to whom we have sent our money
or 90 we receive in taxes and contributions the
necessary funds from the local merchant whom
we have thoughtessly neglected.? Think it
over, fellow citizens, the local merchant lives
from our incomes and by trading with him we
can get some good in public rebate

LAW ENFORCEMENT.

The saloon has gone There is not an open
saloon in the United States doing business upon
the old plan; yet there still remains an element
that sharply criticizes the act that put the
saloon out of business. There is also another
element that criticizes the lax enforcement of
the laws prohibiting the sale of liquor, both
distilled and home-brewed. That the laws are
violated there is not shadow of doubt. That
other laws are violated there is also no oues-
ton, and it is doubtful if any law will ever be
made that will absolutely prevent the manu-
facture and sale of liquor in some form, or the
violation OF the various laws are intended To
preserve the peace, tranquility, sobriety and
good government of the nation. Food laws are
Delng violated, murders are committed larceny

accordance with the letter of the law the iai]s

of a few news columns in The World giving
prominence to the Labor-Farmer picnic to be
held Sunday, September 18th. Readers,
wouldn't you call it news when labor forces and
farmers plan meeting, and announce it, in
which it is expected four or five thousand citi-
zens will gather together Politicians and
would-be politicians sometimes have queer
dreams. The World is telling the news whether
it's about Nestos or Frazier or ANYBODY else

frenzy of anger. are threatening that
IAN army of Polish heroes will be re-
modified to fight Great Britain, Ger

The crouch of the Poles, as reflected
in their newspapers, is directed par
ticularly at Premier Lloyd George, OF
Great Britain, who is denounced as
arrogant. impudent and brutal"
The hoad and front OF Lloyd
Georges offending, from the Polish
standpoint, Is that he insists that Po-
land keep her treaty pledges and de-
sist from a course of action which
il persisted in, bids fair to involve
Europe in another war.
After making every possible allow

Poland has suffered during the Gen.
turtles, even her most sympathetic
partisans must admit that since she
took her place in the family of ma
tions under the peace treaty, she has
given many evidences Of unwillingness
to play the game"
One of the things Poland has got tc
learn is to forget the past and tc
recognize that the rights she acquired
under the treaty are valid only to the
degree that she is willing to assume
the obligations that go with them.
The first OF these obligations is to
help re-establish peace and good feel
ing in central Europe.
This can be done by manifesting
spirit Of accommodation and compro-
mise.
