wHoLEsALR CORRUPTION.


Henry Ford has challenged the

trolled, to prove its sincerity. In a
telegram to Senator Dillingham;,
Chairman of the Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections. the automobile
said that he did not de-
sire to sit in the Senate. but he did
want to see that body "clear its own

II have noticed from recent
newspaper reports that there is
a determination on the part of
some Senators to clear Mr.. New
berry of the charges of corrup-
tion and illegal use of money in
the Senatorial election of 1918,
and to declare that his election
TO the Senate was valid, notwith-
standing the overwhelming evil
dence to the contrary.

voted down two resolutions opnos

He asrvss ~ the agency for exchangs among the Various
othsr elements Of the community. without the activity
and the prosperity Of those elements thAFe would b no

On the other hand, every elsnasat Ia the eonnuaity
needs the servtcas Of the banker, directly or indirectly,
and ~ In our northwestern territory the agricultural ele-
nnent prsdoninatss. the need for eo-opsrataea between
banker and farmer IS recognized By ell those who have
time. s aS ~ 4
Not only have the bankers senarally recognised The
need for this cooperation, but they understand that 1t
is their part to contribute to the sztant Of their ability
to the bringing about Of such changes in agricultural
naethode as will promote the common pFospsrity. II
10 a tact generally recognized that ia this tarr4tory the
day Of the exclusive wheat farmer is about over. Wheat
cannot be taken from the soil year after year without
bringing about the deterioration Of the soil. The fertility
of, the land must be conserved and renewed or it will
disappear, and In the conservation Of that fertility. stock
raising and dairying must play 4 prominent part.
Stock raising and dairying call for peculiar fiald
work. They involve the necessity for grsxns ground,
for silos, and for such crops as alfalfa, corn ana sweet
clover, to furnish feed for the livestock By means Of
which the soils fertility must be maintained. All OF
these things are parts Of the one great activity. The farm
er must play his part IN the handling Of stock and the
cultivation OF fields, and the banker must contribute his
effort In 30 organizing the financial system OF the coun-
try that funds will be available for these highly benefit
cent purposes. The interests Of the two groups, while
thsir activities lie in different directions, are common in
terests. The enterprise Of farming cannot lag without
reacting on the merchant. the banker, and the profess
sional man; and the more efficiently the work Of thsse
agencies is conducted the more readily and completely
may the work Of the farmer be carried out. Such meet
ings as that of the state bankers are OF inesdnnable ben-
eft in bringing general attention to problems upon whose
solution depends the common vslfare, and It Is crafty
ing to observe that proper emphasis has been placed on
these problems at this meeting and that over all there
has been cast the atmosphere Of q high tdealixna which
will help more than anything else to bring about . cor
ton.

VII De NO restraint on changes in the relative prices of
commodities as the law -t supply and demand operates
N each particular case, the general price level will re-
main always Approximately the same. The s,able
Money league has been organized for the purpose Of
Studying the various plans proposed. The proposal to
make the United States dollar represent 4 variable GUAM
uty OF gold has received more attention than any Of the
other plans This plan, and certain objections to it, arc
summarized by the Guaranty Survey. of New York. a.
follows:
I'D To abolish gold coins and to convert our pree-
ent gold certificates into .gold-dollar certificates emitting
the holder to dollars of gold bullion. OF such weight as
may be officially declared from time to time.
"(2 To retain the virtual free /coinaxe'-that Il,
depoatgof gold and the free redemption of gold-dolar
certificates.
'(39 To designate an ideal composite goods.dollar
consisting of a representative assortment of commodt-
ties. worth q dollar at the outset, and to establish an
index nunber for recording. at stated intervals, the mar
ket price Of this composite dollar in terms Of the gold
dollar. -
20 To adjust the weight OF the gold. bullion dol
lar at stated iptsrvale, each adjustment to be proper
toned to the recorded deviation Of the index number
from Par.
"(b) To impose a small 'brassage' fee not to ex-
caed any one change in the gold dollars weight"
Granted the desirabtlity Of a relatively stable price
level. especially in time of peace, 1t does not appear
that a practical way has been found for stabilisins prices
through variations in the bullion content Of tia standard
monetary unit.
Aside from such dimcuites Is would be encountered
by reason Of existing contracts calling for the payment
Of gold dollars of the present standard of weight and
finances. the adoption Of such q plan by this nation alone
would subject the country's gold supply and its mous-
tasy systssn to very grave dangers. Moreover, it Is not
evident that the effect of the proposed measure on the
quantity Of money In circulation would be SUFFICIENT TO
regulate prices In the degree contemplated by the advo-
ca4sss Of the plan. ~

MURDER CASE TESTIMONY.

AZ was to be expected, > number Of Wild yarns have
come into circulation in connection with the Fargo muir
der case in which q young girl was brutaly killed In her
hotel room in that city. The proven facts in the case are
horrible enough. but SO great is the appetite for the weird
and gruesone that the facts have not been sufficient,
and upon them have been tnposed stories Of additional
horrors, among them. that the body o: the dead girl had
lass manner. The story has been widely circulated and
has been believed by many people. The sworn testimony
of the physician who examined the body explodes these
stories and shows that there II no basis for them. He has
declared that aside from the Injuries very a~aaHifestly In
flteted in the actual commission Of the murder, the body
bore no other marks Of violence.
In justice to the reputation Of the dead GIRL, en-
phasts should also be placed on the fact that al, the tes-
timony thus Tar introduced indicates that she was q
young woman OF good character, travelling on an entirely
legitimate errand, and occupying a room as a transient
In Z hotel while obliged to wait for another train. She
had written to q young man Of her acquaintance. the son
OF an old neighbor, to meet her and show her TO q hotel
as she was . stranger In Fargo and did not know where
to 30. Her behavior was that of any normal and repu-t
table young woman.
1t is still further to be noted that at no time has there
been made public any suspicion of irreguiarity Of con
duct on the part OF her young man friend, He happened
to be 90 situated that he could meet her Ut the train. He
did 80, and showed her the ordinary little eourteEes
which would be expected under like circumstances, and
than lett her. Thera is no appearance Of anything
against the young mans character. and seemingly no
reason for connecting him in any way with the crime.
1t IL inevitable that in such eases suspicion points in
many different directions. and very often entirely limo
cent persons are given unpleasant notor4ety and are SUBJ
jeeted to suspicion when they merit nothing OF the sort
This il frequently unavoidable. but it Is only fair that
when there Is Ar opportunity to clear up such unwar-
ranted suspicion, it should be done. ~
