AN EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT.

From the standpoint either 81 personal charac-
Ter or professional qualifications, helsclection Of DIR.
John Lee Coulter for the presidency Of the North
Dakota Agricultural College at Fargo leaves noth-
ing to be desired.
Born on a Minnesota farm within half = dozen
miles from Grand Forks, he grew there into youth
and early manhood, doing his share Of the farm work
and sharing in the varied experiences Of farm life.
Making a fine record in his class work, he graduated
first from the Grand Forks high1school and then
from the University Of North Dakota, adding to the
training received there advanced courses mother
universities. Devoting special attention to the study
of agricultural problems, his industry, thorough
ness and breadth Of vision won him recognition in
places, and he>became associated with the fed
eTal department Of agriculture and conducted some
of its most important research work. AS an agent Of
the government he has visited a score of countries
all over the globe, and he has assembled a body Of
information on farm subjects such as has probably
not been equaled in the work of any other investiga-
tor. He is recognized as an authority on farm sta-
tistics, farm finance and farm methods, and some of
the results OF his work have been distributed in the
tOsu Of text books and other publications wherever
agricultural subjects are studied. Postponing for a
time further work along his. chosen line in order to
serve in the armies Of his country in the world war,
he resumed that work when the time was opportune,
and for some time he has been in charge Of the agri-
cultural college of the state Of INVEST Virginia. From
that state he comes to North Dakota, where's his
knowledge and experience may be devoted to. the
I!Sncsl ueVcioPmeHto the agricultural possibilities
of the territory in which his own childhood was
spent.
Dr.. Coulter comes honestly by his interest in
agriculture and his ~forceful character. HI comes Of
q family Of thrifty and progressive farmers whose
influence has been constructive in all the relations
of life, and whose members haye distinguished them
selves in many lines Of activity. His selection as
president ofthe North Dakota Agricultural college
will, if he is given a free hand in the performance Of
his duties, contribute greatly to the effectiveness Of
that institution as an agency for progress in the ag-
%ricultural life of the northwest. t,

ACCOMMODATIONS T

In the suits brought for the collection OF notes
given to the since suspended Peoples State Bank
of Grand Forks the proceeds Of which were intend
ed to be used in the operation of the since suspend
ed Grand Forks American; it develops that certain
OF these notes had been given for no money consid-
Grafton received by the makers, but were intended
simply as aloan of the credit of the individuals to
the institution or institutions which it was desired
to assist. Notes of this kind are called accommo-
dation notes. Many Of them have been given dur
ing the activity of the Nonpartisan leagAe in North
Dakota. They have been given upon assurance
that the makers would never be called upon to pay,
as means of payment would be found before the
maturity of the notes. The makers of such notes
would not be inconvenienced in any way whatever.
It would be interesting to know in just how many
hundreds OF cases such assurances have been given,
later to-be found worthless. Hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars, possibly millions of dollars, have
been paid by North Dakota farmers on notes of ex-
acly this character. Sometimes collection was re-
sisted Sometimes there was no opposition, it be-
ing understood that resistance would be futile, and
the interested persons have frequently not desired
the publicity which would come from suits at law;
but whatever the method and whatever the sur
rounding circumstances, when the effort has been
made, either the money represented by these notes
has been-collected or judgment has been secured
to hang like a milestone around the necks of the
makers of these notes. The particular notes to
which reference has just been made were given by
residents OF the western part of Grand Forks county
to aud financing one or more of the enterprises in
augurated IN support of the -Nonpartisan league
management and IN the customary way, subsidiary
to it It has frequently been stated that the Peo-
pies Bank was not a part of the Nonpartisan league,
that the Grand Forks American was owned by
Grand Forks farmers and not by the league. The
fact IS that both enterprises were the product Of
league activities, were promoted by league organiz-
ers, and were intended to be conducted in the inter
est of the league. The credit Of men of substance
has been obtained for enterprises ostensibly Of a
business character in order that a political move
ment might be fostered. In each case disaster re-
suited Il is fortunate that Grand Forks county
has experienced but a few things Of this kind, but
even a few is too many. The farmers of the county
who have become familiar with the facts will doubt
less be e cautious hereafter about signing
accommodation notes for the promotion of political
movements.

AIRsHIP TRANSPORTATION NOT A
FAILURE.

Replying to frequent comment since the de-
%struction of the ZR-2, an American organization of
aircraft manufacturers declares that airship travel
is by no means a failure, and quotes some interest
ing statistics in support of its assertion. The state
ment is prefaced with the announcement that prepa-
rations for the. establishment of regular airship
transport between New York and San Francisco are
being pushed, and that the service will be in daily
operation by 1923.
The association says that up to 1914, when ev-
erything had to give way to the needs of the war,
lpore than $4,000 passengers had been carried over
100000 miles in German airships without death or
injury to a single person. Since the war Germany
resumed airship activity, and continued until the
work was suspended by necessity for observing the
reparations terms. Up to that time the service had
been safe and satisfactory. Great Britain has a num-
Der OF large dirigibles in constant operation, as have
Italya and France M. a-:
Concerning plans in this country, the announce
nent says that they involve the investment Of $780,
ooo,o 600 Of capital and the construction Of several g
gantic airships 80 per cent larger than the recently
destroyed ZR-2. These ships will have a capacity Of
200 persons in addition-to the crew, and $4,000
pounds of freight, The New York; Chicago run will
be made in 10 hours, and the run from coast to coast
in SO hours. If sufficient helium is not obtainable
by that time the sustaining power will be hydrogen,
and engineers are confident that the use of this gas
can be made quite safe. On this latter point the
general public may be expected to entertain some
doubts. s.
