There is nothing new or revolu-
tionary about the new plan," said DR..
H. J. Waters editor of the Weekly
Kansas City Star, who spoke at the
conference. The farmer proposes to
do what every other business is do
ing. Heretofore, he has been pro
ducing his grain and turning it over
to others to be marketed. Now he
proposes to follow his product until 1t
reaches the consumer and take for
himself what he has been praying to
others for this service. In addition,
he proposes to cut out waste and
shorten the road from the farm Of
the producer to the door of the con-
sumr."
DR.. Waters stated that it had been
reported that one commission flrm
had appropriated a million dollars to
defeat the farmers in this movement.
The farmers cannot be purchased, he
said, and these interests know 1t, but
they may attempt to use this money
to spread propaganda antagonistlc to
the movement and thus create suspi-
cion in the minds of the farmers.

INDUSTRIAL DEATH

INDUSTRIAL DEATH
Naturalization of industries is So
cialism and socialism is industrial
death.
The recent industrial upheavaI in
volving the coal miners in England
throws a new light on the Plumb
scheme to turn the railroads of the
United States over to the employees.
There is such a similarity between
these two attempted movements as to
suggest a secret understanding among
certain so-called leaders of organized
labor on both continents that the
present old order of things shall be
supplanted by a new arrangement
patterned after the vageries of Marx,
Debs and others of like sociaIistic
profession.
The Plumb plan or dumb plan or
whatever you want to call it, fell of
its own absurdity and weakness. That
the transportation system of this
country, so vitality related to the pub
lie welfare, should be turned over to
an aggregation of irresponsible people
to operate was a proposition so i'm
pudent, brazen and startling as to
shock the good sense of the nation.
whoever conceived it poorly esti-
mated and grossly misjudged the
standard of popular intelligence and
strength of popular conviction.
In the industrial and social affairs
OF this country, as in all highly civil
lied and progressive countries, an
archy and socialism have no place.
If we are to continue to grow and
prosper we must pursue principles
and policies which conserve and pro-
tect the welfare of the citizen indiv-
idually and collectively, recognizing
the right of individual acquisition.
achievement and reward, protecting
the individual against mass injustice
and the mass against individual greed,
shelter property rights from unlawful
aggression, and insure to every cit
izen equal protection of the law.
The incentives to labor, to acquire
and achieve, to hold and possess,
which socialism would destroy, are
essential no less to the security of the
nation than to the prosperity of the
individual.
There are some things, some func-
tions, inherently governmental, such
for example as the mails, army and
navy. functions of such kind, charac-
ter and scope as to essentialize ma
tiOnal operation and control, for in
this sense the identity of the individ-
ual gives way to the nation, but be-
yOnd this the government should not
go.
Our success and progress as a peo-
pie and as a nation depend on oppor-
tunity and security for the individual.
What the individual or corporation
can do as we'll or better than the gov
eminent the government should not
undertake to do. Where for the pub
lie welfare it is necessary for the gov
eminent to exercise supervisory con-
troll let that be done but let US ap-
proach socialism no nearer than that
for socialism means industrial death.

WILL NOT GO TO FIT. SMELLING

According to an announcement
made last evening at a meeting of
Co. G this unit will not camp at Ft.
Smelling this summer. It was thought
for some time that the boys would go:
but Captain R. J. Mcdonald has had a
talk with officials at Bismarck and has
Informed them that it would be al
most impossible for this company to
go to camp this summer, as most of
the boys are either in school or work
ing. The equipment that was ordered
for the company was to have been
loaned from Ft. Smelling and return
ed after the encampment, but this or
der has been cancelled and the boys
will have their own equipment in a
short time, as it has been ordered,
It is hoped that Company G can be
-scruited up to war strength again
soon, so that we can have real live
company here again. There is no rea-
son that Valley City should not have
good company as we'll as any other
one of the towns that have company.
We understand that the boys in the
company at Jamestown have their
equipment and are turning out in
good shape. Let's get together and
put Company G. on the list. >-...

BARNES COUNTY

Yesterday was the opening day Of
the Barnes County Agricultural Fair
but there was no fair. Jupiter Plu-

Yesterday and it poured down all day
in nice, delightful soaking rain, that
has done more good to the country
than all the fairs in the world could
have done. The fair management is

over this rain, because it means the
salvation Of the crops and practically
insures fair crop under favorable
weather conditions from this on. 70.

the sun shines out bright the grounds
will dry off but it will take day or
two to get them in anything like good
condition for racing. The manage
ment says that the stock exhibit IS
large and very good, indeed, in fact
greater than on any previous year
The coming Of the rain has made It
bad for those people who have shows
etc. and who make their living at
these county fairs. But they have to
take the bumps along with the rest OF
the people and if they lose out here
the improved conditions will tend to
get them more patronage elsewhere

have not been handed in any program
of events for tomorrow or the day
after and cannot say just what the
management intends to put on in the
way Of races, etc. However, there
will be something doing and now that
you have had this moisture it will be
the right thing for you to come IN to
