Journal Collections

The Journal carriers manage and control
their routes pay in advance for all papers drawn,
and absolutely depend upon their collections for
their running capital and profits. When sub
scrbers neglect to pay them it is the CARRIER
and not THE JOURNAL that stands the "brunt."
Subscribers who do not care to pay the car
rier each week may pay The Journal two or more
months in advance and they will pay the carrier
each week from this fund.
This system of delivery is known as the
INDEPENDENT CARRIER PLAN and is used
by most of the larger newspapers Of the country
and has proven beyond doubt to be the very best
plan of delivery. When boy manages his own
route, buys and sells at profit he is in business
for himself in exactly the same sense as any
merchant He knows he must give service to be
successful and build up his business He knows
that every new customer he secures means more
profit. In short, he knows he must conduct his
business in capable and efficient manner to be
successful.
The Journal earnestly requests it subscribers
not to discourage these boys in this, probably
their first business venture, by refusing to pay
promptly each week for their newspaper.

a. M NATION.

Sixty years ago it was an open question wheth-
8er the citizen owed allegiance first to his state or to
the nation. The people of the north were generally
convinced that the nation must come first. In the
south the view prevailed that the state represented
the supreme sovereignty, and that ones duty to his
state superseded everything else. Robert E. Lee,
for instance, did not desire the disruption of the
union. But when, contrary to his hope and desire,
the state of Virginia decided to secede, Lee con-
#ceived>it to be his duty to go with his state. \
In effecting a practical settlement of that ques-
tionN which should govern through all future time,
much blood was shed. But the decision that the
nation stands supreme, and that it is to the nation
that the citizen owes his first and undivided alleg-
lance is no longer disputed.
The people ofNorth Dakota are confronted by
two problems. First there is the problem of pro-
sviding tor such representation in the national gov
Sernmert that our state may perform its part in the
sshap1ngi OF national legislation and national policy
along right lines. Second, there is the problem Of
for honest and efficient state government.
These two issues are not in conflict. They are
finter-related. They may, however. be separated
into their two elements. We need the right kind OF
representation. at Washington, and we should put
forth every possible effort to obtain it. But that
effort must in no wise be put forth at the cost of
neglectlng the issues which present themselves at
home, for, when the situation is reduced to it's sim
Iplest terms, it is found that the first and best service
that the people of North Dakota can render the
United States of America just now is to clean up
their own house and set it in order.
Supporters of Senator McCumber are telling
those who listen what a tragedy it would be for the
state to send Mr.. Frazier to the senate, and that
this tragedy can be averted only by the reelection
sof Mr.. McCumber. North Dakota has passed
through some tragic experiences during the past six
years. Her funds wasted, her people taxed
lintolerably, her credit strang1ed, her name has been
q by-word and scofing throughout the nation. Yet
during those six years Mr.. McCumber has been in
Washington, holding important committe posi-
tons. and aSSociatinO with the rro,+ IS %to o,~+l
His presence in Washington~served in no way to
prevent or to impede the states plunge into the
abyss, nor has anything that he has said or done
aided in its rescue.
With Mr.. McCumber in the senate the state
got itself into trouble. With him still in the senate,
and with Senator Ladd, a Townley appointee who
owes his election to McCumber's assistance. the
state is getting itself out of trouble. And if Nc
Climber should be returned to the senate the state
would still have to rely on its own e%xertions and it's
own common sense to establish itself again on solid
ground. It would have, no greater assistance from
him in the future than it has had in the past.

and to destroy faith in it is to destroy communism
itself. A matter Of principle being involved, the
other nations will, of course, appreciate the Russian
position. The gentlemen Of the Soviet cannot be
expected to abandon their principles. One can i'm

DELAYED SEEDING.

Seeding in this territory is being DELAYED some
what beyond the usual time by cool and moist
In a few cases some seeding has been
done. and considerable areas have been narrowed,
put seeding is not yet properly under way, nor will
1t be until there has been more bright weather.
If the weather should turn warm and clear farm
work generally might be said to be about a week
later than in the average year. The forecasts, how
ever, indicate more cool weather, with showers later
IN the week which, may or may not hit North
Dakota. -
Weather conditions of late have been greatly
disturbed. Two or three storm movements of un-
usual proportions have passed across the continent.
being marked in southern territory by deluges of
rain, destructive winds, and enormous property loss.
and in the north by rain and snow ranging from
light to heavy, accompanied by cool northerly winds.
Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri. Illinois.
and Indiana have felt the brunt Of these storms, and
fields in several Of those states are so badly flooded
that farm work will be very seriously delayed. Iowa
and southern Minnesota have also suffered from the
reflex action ofssome of these storms.
In the older sections of the northwest the de-
lay Of a week or two in seeding does not mean what
it did i'll the early days of settlement. Seeding then
was a long and tedious operation, lasting from the
moment when a team could travel across a field UNI
I'll well into June and while the June seeding Of
wheat was not at any time considered desirable, it
was by no means unusual. Today the farmers are
generally equipped to make a short job Of seeding.
Because of better drainage water moves from the
fields more rapidly, and the drying process is hasteiii-
ed. and there is usually horse power and man powsr
sufficient to complete the work in half the time that
was formerly consumed.
The couptry is ready for t"fair and warmer
weather, and most people are becoming a little iim-
parativc llateness of the season would be forgotten.
