Near the little COW whore the

asked the women if they had seen

HARMONY.

r SuEe o1teu ooJeCCob 10 MADE to the recall on the
ground that it would tend to increase the friction that now
exists in the state. and It 10 urged, that instead OF stirring
up more dissention the effort should be made to create
a spirit Of harmony in order that all may be able to pull
together for The promotion of the interests Of the state.
Harmony Is a beautiful and desirable thing. Too
much cannot be said in favor Of it. It happens some
times. however. that conditions exist which make har-
nony impossable except in terms which no decent per.
son ,e1n accept. "
There was a serious Interruption in the harmony
OF the world along in 1914. when certain persons set
in opposition to the will of the parsonage
At Berlin who assumed the right to dictate the affairs
of the universe The first to feel the weight Of his
indignation were the Belgians, foolish people. few and
i'll equipped. who were so blind to their own interest that
they interposed their handful Of soldiers between the
giant and his goal, knowing perfectly that they were
doomed to be crushed as he advanced. The Belsians
could have saved the lives of thousands of their people.

permitting the Germans to make a thoroughfare of
their country without opposition. They resisted. and
suffered for it
All the nations could have saved themselves the
cost of . long and bloody war, the billions of money
and the millions Of lives, and the generations Of struggle
that will be necessary to recover from the effects of war.
AL they needed to do was to refrain from irritating the
German overload by opposing that which he sought to do.
A little "Reminiscences on their part would have made
everything lovely.
The nations resisted. and the world will be a long
time recovering from the shock. But whatever the
cost in men, money and interruption Of harmony, Little
Belgium can hold up her head among the nations, and
the nations that Joined her In her glorious struggle
saver the world from something more serious than war
or the cost of war. They established the founda-
tons OF freedom, and their children forever shall arise
and call them blessed.
North Dakota is today subjected to the domino ton
OF an element that has wasted its substance and per.
verted and prostituted its political agencies. Specifically.
the men who constitute the Industrial commission have
seized upon the revenues 81 the state and it's subdi,ts-
IONS, and have permitted those funds to be used for
political purposes for which they were collected. There

and a whole train of evils. They intend to continue
In the same old way. They have said so. There is
not the slightest symptom OF a disposition to change,
50 long as they remain in power there is no change of
the affairs OF the state being put on a sound basis.
With that situation existing those who are conscious
OF what the state has suffered, and who are convinced
that the injury will continue, are asked to be harmonious.

PUBLIC HEARINGS

The railroad labor board 10 conducting a public In
~sstieation Of the railway business in general, and es-
scaliy Of those features Of It which Affect the labor sit
ltLon.
Tho public hearing has is uses. The public has a
sht to know the facts with reference to matters in
thich II has . legitimate Interest, and the public is very
scidedly interested IN the railroad business. But It Is
ten tho case that the public hearing defeats the very
Iirpose for which It Is supposed to be held. namely, the
npartlal ascertainnent Of facts.
The. public hearing too often desenerates into a
artisan controversy In which skilled attorneys on either
de present the claims Of their clients in the most glow
IS colors. and seek to tear down the claims OF their op-
onentS by skinful cross-examinatlon Too often the in
sstigation becomes a mere game in which the rival at
,rneys are participants. with the men who are supposed
!, do the real investigating sitting helpless while lawyers
atch wits and make competitive appeals to prejudice
lther than to reason.
There Is evidence OF a good deal Of this in the pres
1t railroad hearing. The note Of appeal to prejudice
~ been sounded vigorously already. and the chances
e. that the affair will wind UP tnconclusively. with the
artisans Of each side more firmly welded to their former
,in1ons than ever.

Iu-Continued.

Her thoughts wandered about
lamone the various friends whose
Judgment might serve at this crisis to
clear her own thoughts and simplify
the road before her. Strangely
enough, Warren Gregory's own moth
that pure and austere and uncom"
promising heart would certainly find
the way. Whether Rachael had the
courage to follow it was another CUES
ton. She loved old Mrs. Gregory;
they were good friends. But Rachael
dismissed her with a little shudder. as
from the spatter Of icy water against
her barred breast. The bishop? Ra-
chael and Clarence duly kept a pew
churches; it was the Breckenridge
family pew, rented by the family for
a. hundred years. But they sat
in. it, although Rachael felt vaguely
sometimes that for reasons underlined
they should. and Clarence was apt in
moments of sentiment to reproach
his wife with the statement that his
grandmother had been a faithful
church oma and his mother had
mornings in winter.
But the bishop called on Rachael
once a ear and Rachael liked him,
and mingled an air Of pretty peni-
tence for past negligences with a.
gracious promise of better conduct in
future. His Grace was a fine. breezy,
broadminded a polished in man
ner. sympathetic, and tolerant. He
had not risen to his present eminence
by too harsh a rebuke Of the sinner.

Father Graves. as he liked to be CALL

CONGRESS AND LEGISLATION.

The new congress which is to assemble in extra
session on April ~ will have an enormous mass of bust
ness before it. Due quite largely to peculiariues in our
system the time spent In the session ending on March
4 was largely wasted. Little legislation of a construc-
tive character was enacted and much is needed. Two
subjects of prime importance must be given attention
at once, those Of the tariff and of taxation.
The Herald believes that the attention of Congress
should first be attracted toward the adjustment OF
the tariff, and that tax legislation should follow. The
tariff question is one in which the entire country takes
an active interest, and on which opinion Is fairly> we'll
formed Customs tariffs should be based on the policy
OF protecting American producers in every line. wherever
possible. from the destructive competition which will
come from abroad in the absence of such protection.
This legislation should precede tax legislation because
otherwise, the country will be flooded with foreign pro.
ducts SO that cut prices and domestic industry Of every
kind will languish. Furthermore, to give tax LEGISLATION
first place would cause strong popular resentment and
being sacrificed to those Of wealthy individuals and cor
pay. -. b..
Tax legislation should be so framed as to simplify
the levy1ng and collection of taxes. to relieve business
of the excessive burdens now placed upon it, and should
place the weight of taxation as directly as possible upon
the ultimate consumer. who in the last analysis must
always carry the load. There should be a decided linn
itation of exemptions and the policy Of creating exempt
classes should be entirely abandoned for the future.
Congress must be prepared to meet strong opposition
from the Northwestern agricultural districts to material
increases in duties on manufactured goods and to the re-
peal Of the Excess Profits tax. The Herald believes
however that reasonable protection for manufacturers
must be afforded and that the Excess Profits tax must
be repealed.
