Practically all of the American peo-
pie seem to be waiting from day to
day for living conditions to get back
to a point approaching pre-war times.
Building opera tons are slowed, rail
road construction is at a standstill
and business generally is more or less
demoralized. It is admitted on all
sides that present conditions are in
tolerable. While wages are high,
living expenses are still abnormal
Persons returning from the coast, re-
port lumber selling almost as cheap
as before the war. But high freight
rates still give the lumber agencies a
chance to hold their prices up. The
same thing applies to many other
lines. It is quite certain that pro-
fiteering and high freight rates are
our greatest troubles.
We can all agree on the conditions
which are not right. The greatest
divergence of opinion seems to be on

the general public is paramount :.
Capital and labor may fight to their
hearts content, but the public must
be served. Freight rates undoubted-
ly cause great deal of trouble in the
present problems. They must come
down. Cuts in wages must come.
But it is the duty of the public to see
that the railway worker isn't cut in
wages just to make higher profits fol

the advertising being placed extern

has followed the policy of begging un-
limited free advertising from the
press Of the country. However, most
of the government press agent stuff
finds its way to a waste-basket. The
average paper is too busy trying to
make both ends meet to have much
room for free advertising in its COL
umns, except under unusual circum-
stances.

Foreign Advenising Repseseaaaeive
TIE: AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION

Bro. Joe sprung big scare-head
last week, "North Dakota Defies Wall
Street." The old boy down the street
still seems to enjoy his weekly course
in shadow-boxing. The old fellow
seems to take particular delight in
saying nasty things about "Wall
Street." Big Biz, the moneyed in
terests, the Money Huns, Capitalism,
Etc. And, of course, it is much nicer
TO talk about something that is gen.
era1 in nature so that there may be no
comeback. Every time Bro. Joe
tries to pick on concrete propositions.
he makes sorry mess of it.. How
ever, just howl about Big Biz gener-
ally, and there isn't likely to be any
complications.
But there are lots of ways of defy
ing the money powers. One is by
giving bum checks. Many are trying
that plan of "defying Wall Street."
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1921-05-19

The local. league paper has lots Of
fun most every week "defying" some
body. They even defy you to pre-.
vail upon them to print the. news
But when it comes to "defying Wall
Street," or the Chamber of Commerce
the league lemon is par excellence.
Sometimes we think the president Of
the Free Press corporation has done
about the best job Of "defying" of any
of them. He gambled on the right
side Of the grain market, thus taking
money right from under the noses Of
the chamber of commerce. HE ther
sunk nearly an equal amount in thu
Free Press, thus "defying" Wal
street to get their hands on his win
nings.

what to dc, about it. One class indi-
Gates desire to tear everything up
side down and use some sort of grab
bag policy. Others admit the con-
ditions, but argue about the causes
and the placing of the blame.
The Record does not believe that
Bolshevism is remedy. No matter
how bad off we may be, it can be
worse. Also, after any great war,
abnormal conditions have existed.
And the greater the war, the greater
abnormal conditions. The little news
paper has suffered with the rest from
conditions. Our print-paper has
gone from $2.75 per hundred pounds
in 1914 to $13. 90 in 1920, and this
without adequate raise in newspaper
and advertising rates, and without
considering a doubling Of freight
rates. Profteering has affected the
situation, no doubt. However, even
profiteering isn't the easiest thing to
curb, and when the individual citizen
damns the country without investi-
eating the conditions existing, he be-
trays ignorance, at least.
Certain fundamental principles are
accepted as the basis. of our form of
government. life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness" is the general
expression. We are also told that
eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty." Hence, in attempting to get
at the profiteer, we must use caution
to see that we do not permit the loss
Of fair measure Of individual liber-
ty. Generally speaking, we have
been taught to understand that in
this country, one who owns something
cannot be forced to sell it except al
his own price. This fact, coupled
with natural cupidity, has developed
profteering on large scale. The
big fellows profiteer and the little
fellows profteer. Even neighbors
profiteer on each other if the oppor.
tunity presents. To drive a close
bargain has been the universal aim il
business throughout history.
Therefore, the Record firmly be-
lieves in regulatory measures to con
troll plots and combines to control tn.
supply of a commodity, and then force
an extortionate price for it from thu
consumer. On the other hand, the
right of an individual to retain hi:
own property should be protected
Else, there is no liberty.
We firmly believe that there is
enough good sense in this land of our.
to work out of our difficulties without
blowing the bottom out of everything
We believe that eventually conditions
will adjust themselves. The labore1

too, must be curbed. The welfare o.

If there is any one thing this coun-
try must look to more than any other,
it is the necessity Of making educa-
ton compulsory. It is the necessity
of enforcing compulsory school laws,
and seeing to it that helpless children
are given a fair start in life. It is
the duty Of the government to see
that the foreigner is taught at least
enough of the English language that
he may feel free to mingle with the
native born-that he may feel him
self real American. We were all
foreigners at one time, or the descen-
dants of foreigners, and the man who
comes to our shores today must be-
come more than citizen in name
only. And the ignorant are men,
ace to a community. Education is a
necessity. We have school laws, and
they must be observed. We have
certain school districts in this county
in which the people generally are act
ually hostile to the idea Of school
facilities. They propose to save the
expense of schools, and to squeeze a
few additional dollars out of the labor
Of their children. Not only for their
own benefit must these children be
protected, but for the protection of
the country. Ignorance makes fer
file he'd for tho GOODS of rod;ool ;e,,,
and anarchy.
We are told that one school district
in this county has one school that has
had but three months of school dur
ing the past year, and another school
in the same district has had but three
and one-half months. A way must
be found to correct such an evil
