MINERS AND
POLICE CLASH
Attackers Bear Away Victims
Leaving No Trace
MARCHING IN FORMATION
Advance Guard Battle - Militia
Pitches Camp At Dark, AS Many
OF The Force Were In
Civilian Clothes.

Ethel, w. Valve men fell in an
encounter Sunday morning between
an armed band and State TROOPERS on
Beach creek, Logan county, near the
Boone-Logan county line.
There was much shooting on either
side, Captain Brockus said. Whether
all the men who fell were killed, the
officer was unable to state. He added
that after his men had seen those
who had fallen picked up and carried
away by their companions, the State
troopers and deputies retired, because
some of their number were in civilian
clothes and it was difficult to distin-
guish them in the darkness from the
men comprising the armed band.
The clash was at close range, &C.
cording to Captain Brockus' report,
the men firing at each other when
but eight to ten feet apart. Prior to
the fight, Captain Brockus said, II
prisoners had been taken by the pa,
trolling party which set out from Lo-
gan, ostensibly toward Blair and
Sharples. Four of the prisoners es-
capped during the engagement, it was
said, and one of them is believed to
have been killed.
Captain Brockus was at the head
of the advance guard of troopers and
deputies. 1t was this. detachment,
comprising II men, that engaged the
armed band The patrol while pro-
ceeding toward Sharples, Captain
Brockus reported, ran across five men
on foot All were armed with rifles
and one had shotgun, he said.

DRAFTING AGENDA
FOR THE FARLEY.
Powers Discussing What Sub
ject Will Be Taken Up
CONVERSATIONS GOING ON
To Use Pan-American Hall-Senator
Matthew, Chilean Ambassador,
Tenders Its Use To State
Department.

Washington.-Alt Although negotiations
to define the scope of the disarmament
conference have not yet reached a for
NAL stage, it is understood that pre-
lininary steps have been taken to OBJ
tain the views of the other Powers as
to what subjects they believe should
come before the conference.
The State Department, it is under
stood has been unwilling to be placed
in the position of taking the lead in
framing the agenda for the confer
ence, preferring that there should be
informal conversations between the
department and the other foreign of
fees through their representatives in
Washington
When these exchanges have fairly
defined the subject matter which
would be acceptable it is probable
Secretary Hughes will prepare ten,
tative agenda for submission to the
other Governments, leaving every op-
portunity for amendments or addi-
tons.
1t is hoped that this agenda can be
completed before the assembly of the
Powers November IL, but it is moro
than probable that even after the
conference has assembled amend.
ments and new propositions will be
entertained.
Arrangements to hold the meetings
of the conference in the Pan-American
Building here were completed with re-
ceipt by the State Department of a
formal offer of she building from Senior
Matthew, the Chilean Ambassador, who
is vice-chairman of the governing
board of the Pan-American Union. In
his letter making the offer Senior
Matthew also took occasion to express
the hope of Latin-America that the
conference would be success.

GERMANS WERE AVERSE
TO POMP AND CEREMONY

Berlin.-Pomp and oratory played
no part in the signing of the peace
treaty. Simplicity surrounded the
ceremony, which consumed less than
Is minutes. Mr. Dresel was accom-
panied by three aids, Counsellor VIII
son and Secretaries Pennoyer and
Asory, while Under Foreign Secretary
Haniel Won Haimhausen and three
Foreign Office department chiefs made
up Herr Rosen's retinue. All stood
about as the signatures and seals were
affixed.
American newspaper men who were
in the corridor were not permitted to
witness the signing. Afterwards Mr..
Dresel said:
'The Germans wanted the treaty
consummated with as little pomp and
ceremony as possible, and this was
perfectly agreeable to u.s."

r. r. INCREASE EARNINGS.
Fewer Trains Run, Less Coal Used
And Smaller Payroll.

hington.-Increased earnings of
railroads during the first six months
of the year were attributed, in state
ment issued by the Association of
Railway Executives, to reductions in
operating expenses and to postpone
ment of expenditures that must be
made if the roads are to be adequately
maintained" The increase in earn
ings, the statement said, "was due
largely to decrease in expenses such
as would have to be resumed if bust
ness were to revive toward normal"
Fewer trains were run, less coal
used and fewer men employed with
out, however, any reduction of wage"
according to the statement, which
also pointed out that there was a re-
ductiOn in the amount of material
used and fewer men employed with
track material, and that fewer bad
order cars and engines were put into
condition.
1T should be borne in mind" the
statement said, that the first six
months of 1921 showed no relief to
the railroads from any reduction in
basic wages, nor from any change in
rules and working conditions. Be-
ginning July wage reduction of
approximately 10 per cent. went into
effect, and some progress is being
made toward working conditions.

HUGHES REPLIES ON PANAMA.
Tells Special Minister There Is No
Need of Further Comment.

Washington.-Secretary Hughes, in
a note to Luis Garay, the Foreign Min
lister of Panama, in reply to a formal
protest lodged against the decision of
the American Government in the Pan
ama-Costa RIGA boundary controversy,
declares that he is unable to find
that any of the statements made by
your Excellency require further COM
ment from me-"
The note of the Panama Minister,
who has been here on a special mis-
sion, was transmitted just before he
left for Panama and reasserted the
justice of the Governments claims,
while deprecating the possible use of
force by the United States in seeing
that the White award is carried out.

I. c. C. Authorizes Roads East OF

Washington.-Rai east of the
Mississippi River were authorized by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to establish export rates on iron and
steel products and on pig iron from
20 to 25 per cent. lower than the pres
ent rates, which are the same for
domestic and export traffic.
Iron and steel industries had urged
the reductions on the grounds that
they were necessary to enable Amer
lean firms to meet competition abroad.
The new rates may be put into effect

i. i, i E E - =
The University Of Minnesota, CO.
operating with county sfarnlsbureau us,
is planning series of about 100 farm
business schools in country district S
of Minnesota the coming winter.
The University will be represented
by w. L. Calvert, farm management
specialist, and &C Worshsm Of the
farm management department Not
more than three schools will be allow
ed any county until all the counties
have had opportunity to secure the
work.
More than ever, in view of prevail
ing low prices, farmers need to study
their business. Costs of production
must be trimmed and the farm busi-
ness in general adjusted to meet pre-
vailing conditions. Studies to be ta--
ken up at these schools will concern
the costs of production of, wheat, corn,
butterfat, potatoes, hogs, cattle, ETC.,
and the means by which the farmer
may increase his net return
Those interested in having such
schools for their community should
apply to their county agent.

Perhaps we have emphasized a little
too much the part that big bankers
have played in producing our present
hard times. Not that we have ex-
aggerated the crime of Wall Street
abetted by it's politicians, in it's arti-
fetal defation of farmers, workers and
independent business, but that there
is danger in fixing attention on one
cause and we find some of our friends
doing that.
Farmers considered wealthy two
years ago; merchants who have al-
ways had good patronage, are given
to blaming the banking system entire
ly. A great many people do not yet
realize the confscation of property
caused by the war and the strengthen
ing of the evil factors in our marketing
system due to the way the war and
Reconstruction" we're handled
Property values depend on what the
property can earn after necessary
charges are made. Thus, if an acre of
ground can yield $5 year after all ex-
penses are met, it is worth at least $100,
provided the interest rate is five per
cent. Now, suppose we add 81 in
taxes for war purposes, directly or in
directly, to that acre; it's value then
shrinks by $20 Suppose, other things
being equal, it costs So more in freight
rates to get the product of that acre to
market; then its value must shrink by
$40. Or, suppose it cost $50 more to
provide the machinery to work this
acre; it's value must then shrink by $50.
Now look at the other end. Sup
pose something happens, whereby the
gross income Of the acre declines from
$40 to $35 with expenses remaining
the same. The profit of SIS would then
be wiped out and the land would have
no present value. The thing that
saves the acre, however, is that the
farmer is willing to consider his majo1
expense, his own labor and that of his
family, as nothing and is willing tc
endure privation and use up his
savings, rather than give up losing
acres in the hope of better times.
The war knocked out world pros
perity, but, great as it's destruction was
we could have recovered fairly quickly
had not each major country had 8

How sweet and all together lovely
are the spirits Of the anti-farmer in
terests. On the night of the North
Dakota election a large number OF
high-powered cars drove out to4Gover-
nor Frazier's home, where his wife and
little girl were alone, threw a, pair OF

What of 1929?


Will the democrat party come
back? The result of the New York
election raises the question. If it
returns as a party of influence in the
1922 congressional elections, will it be
able to achieve this feat without the
help of those large elements in the
United States which have been driv-
ing toward a new party since 1908?
Mayor Hylan, democrat, was elect
ed mayor of New York with an over
Whelming majority No doubt, Local
interests apart from national aligr-
ments were so intertwined as to sid
in this victory. Still the victory is SO
great that it must startle Senator
Penrose into calling a conference Of
party leaders.
The agitation for a third party
continues 1t will continue until the
great mass of the American people
feel that they have political instru-
ment through which they can infu-
ence national policy. In a very real
sense, neither the republican nor the
democrat party has offered working
people and the farmers that instru-
ment.
Woodrow Wilson suffered under
the attack of the subtly organized
propaganda of big business, having
incurred it's enmity by favoring the
small business and small corporation.
Woodrow Wilson at the same time
showed himself as blind as a king to
the new aspirations of those who
have come to be known as the prole-
tariat.
Harding, though he has learned the
temper of the people somewhat thru
the bitter backfre against Burleson
and Palmer, the creatures of Wilson,
is patiently the representative of Nor
gan, Rockefeller and the Du Points.
In no strict sense does mayor Hy-
Ian represent the aspirations of the
proletariat. His policy in New York
has not been intelligent or construc-
tive. He has allied himself with
Tammany. But he wears the party
name of the opposition in the United
States. That may indicate that the
demo Gratis have the chance of gener-
ation.- Minnesota Daily Star.

North Dakota Recall.

Measures hostile to the farmers
program in North Dakota defeated by
5000 to 10000 majorities splendid
news that ought to offset any feeling
of encouragement over loss Of candi-
dates in the farmers mind.
The recall election was staged at a
time when the farmers were, fiat on
their backs-with no money for that
kind OF campaign which brings candi-
dates to the foreground; no money, in
fact, for any kind of campaign.
North Dakota League Headquarters,
in the past months, have received for
campaign purposes about $4,000,
raised largely by women's clubs with
entertainments, basket socials and col
lections at meetings. Some Of this
small sum had to be used to meet an
intensive boycott against the farmers
daily, the Courier Meas of Fargo.
On the other side, railroad money,
anxious to escape taxes under suit and
strict regulation; grain gambler money,
anxious to ecape its most feared OPP
ponent; banker money, scared by the
menace of an independent state bank
ing system. But more than banker
contributions, banker promises to "a
people financially broken by them, a
promise of abundance, if only the
farmer officials were defes ted, prom
Use like the devils promise Of the world
to Jesus if he would only fall down and
worhsip. All weak souls yield to this
kind of promise under more or less
stress.
And, yet, LOG, 900 out of e217, 900
voters threw back challenge of in
dependence! More than half Of the
217, 1000 threw back challenge on the
program. What could speak more
eloquently of the vital hold the
farmers barehanded fight for the
better day has on the state Of North
Dakota? We wish the results were
better, of course; we wish the common
people could progress easily and steadi-
ly toward industrial justice.
The recall election in North Dakota
was not the war between people and
privilege; it was only skirmish in the
fight, or, at most, battle. If we
struggle on, realizing that the war will
be long and means sacrifice, privilege
can win the battles and lose the war.
