desire by it's leaders TO see this brought
about, which happily there is not. There
can be no political division because the
American people were unit for the cause
for which they fought: there is no diff
ference of opinion on this point and there
fore nothing of which a political issue can
be- made.
The American Legion was made up of all
classes of men and of all degrees of polit
ical belief There was nothing in their
glorious service abroad TO change these
opinions and nothing to crystalline them
into political solidarity. The members will

THE TARIFF ON BOOKS

IT Is NOT easy for a Ialmuu 80 unucr-
/ stand iho protest "t the Eastern college
libra riaus. at their mc"ung at Columbia
University against tho tnriT on books -
provided N the Fordncy h,! lIrrclofor"
all books imported for college and pubIv
libraries have been admitted 10 the Uuitcd
States duty free, and rher" is no provision
In the Fordney bill resembling This privileges
But the matter of tariff on books goes
far beyond this. Practically every Am"ri.
can publisher has connections with an Eng
ltsh publishing house whereby the books
copyrighted under the British law are pub
lished by the American house, and the same
privilege on American books is granted the
British Representatives Therefore, in the
case Of British books. the new tariff is not
likely to yield much revenue, and the mar
ket for foreign Language books in the United
States is relatively small,
Books imported in printed sheet form and
boupd in the United States ,rc not exempt
from duty, but since the system of interna-
tlonal connections has been perfected and
used 10 the extent which it is, there is not
much of this done 1t is safe 20 say that
every Important English book and large
numbsiof unimportont ones are now printed

and issued in this country. Therefore a
higher tariff on foreign books printed in our
own language will not materially affect the
revenues of the Nation.
There is now and always has been some
importation of foreign language books, es-
pcciully in French and German, but it has
never reached great proportions, nor is 1t
likely to do so. The demand for these books
is small. for they arc usually technical and
therefore of no interest even to that large
and constantly increasing class Of Americans
which is sufficiently familiar with these Ian

MANY FARMERS TO
ATTEND NATIONAL
DAIRY SHOW

Many farmers of Grand Forks
county and other points in North Da-
kota are expected to take advantage
Of the opportunity of attending the
National Dairy show, to be held in
st. Paul at the state fair grounds
from Oct..28 to Is inclusive.
Plans are being made to charter q
special train. according to r. F. Flint,
president OF theN North Dakota Dairy
association, to carry the people OF
this state to the show.
This is the first time the National
Show has been held this far west
County Agent D. b. Morris pointed
out. and hence this is q splendid OPP
portunity for western farmers to avail
themselves Of the benefits Of the ex-
position. In past years the show has
been held in Chicago.
