There is one man running for con-
gress with Sidney Smith as campaign
manager, who is going to be electe"
by handsome majority if diplomacy
counts for anything, and that is Andy
Gump. A committee called on Andy
to find out his views on the liquor
question and this is the answer he
returned to the committee: '"Tnc 18th

The nonpartisans at Bismarck yes
terday told those republicans nomlna-
ted at the primaries to get out Of the
party if they refused to endorse the
entire ticket as nominated. 1t IS very
kind of these men to read Nestos,
Schafer and Kitchen out Of the party
but these men and others were re-
publicans long before the nonpart-
san socialists came into the llmellght
with their doctrine Of state socialism
and high taxes and we rather think
that they will remain within the party
until they get ready to leave on their
own account. Lemke and his bunch are
not recognized as repubicans-they 90
not come under that listing as we I'M
derstand it.

American veterans abroad, members
of Paris Post No. / have Endorsed the
ship subsidy bill 'to foster the Aneri-
can merchant marine and to maintain
the prestige of the flag on the seas
Evidently American veterans abroad
stand for patriotism at home. They
see Great Britain, France, Japan,
Canada, Australia, Italy, Holland,
Spain, and Germany extending gov
eminent aid to their shipping and
they naturally wonder why. the United
States, whose shipping concerns pay
the highest wages in the world does
not do something of the sort. Cut out
our merchant marine and You scrap
our international delivery wagon a:.G
as soon as that is accomplished you
will run up against wall by compel
ing nations against the foreign trade

The great victory of Senator LaNol-
lette in Wisconsin is said to be a direct
rebuke to the Harding administration.
The Wisconsin senator made the cam
pa;gn for denomination on the follow
ing platform: Opposition to, the Esch
Cummins act; NeWberryism; the -Four
Power treaty, and his opposition to
the Policies of President Harding. If
that was the issue then the president
has very little comfort to get out oi
the Wisconsin primaries. LaFollette
had the support Of the vets i'll that
election as well as Of every radical III
the state and the backing Of the non
partisan league. Wisconsin has al
ways been a radical state and with
the backing of all these elements put
together gave the senator a trcnIen-
dous leverage.

A grain commission firm is sending
out the following: Figuring on the
basis of pre-war rates Of exchange,
iGcrmany is paying in the neighbour
hood of $4,000 per bushel for our
wheat and Austria somewhere around
81, 500 and we broke the adding ma
chine trying to figure out where Rus-
STA is at. That was some scrap old
Bill started in 1914 and if you think
this country is in bad shape, just look
around little. We raised a pretty
GOOD sized wheat crop and if you
think prices are too low, just get out
your pencil and figure little. The
European countries must take our
'surplus. That's the only outlet we
have. We know that the farmer IS
losing money on every bushel of wheat
he raises, but what are you going to
do about it? That's exactly the ans
wer-stop raising horse feed with
tractors and automobiles, stop snip
ping in eggs from China, head off that
butter from Denmark and chase that
cheese back to it's haunts in Holland
This country is alright, but wind up

IerieS again. He wants the wheat
crop Of this year bought at S1.25 per
bushel instead of 81 100 which is about
the price paid now. He is going upon
the theory that the wheat is worth
$123 and in that respect he is right.
But Mr.. BuTdick has not shown any
remarkable faith in the new idea by
buying any wheat at the advanced
price himself. The Fargo Forum sug-
wcsts that he start the ball rolling by
buying 10000 bushels hinself.e 1t is
very easy to suggest remedies and
put up prices for somebody else to
take hold of, but the promoters OF
these schemes DO not seem to be very
anxious to lead off. Certainly tic
farmer should get S1.25 per bushel
for his grain but you are going to
have very hard time getting people
to pay 25c Per bushel above the mar
let price just in order to make phil
antrophists of themselves. The Times
Record would like to see the price set
at $1.25 or even $3.50 in order to
give the farmer something beside the
bare cost of raising this grain. Mr.
Burdicl1's idea at first glance might
look to be brilliant one, but some
how or other it looks to most peo-
pie as being a visionary idea lacking
balance wheel.

Muscle Shoals is available, but IN the
meantime Secretary Of War Weeks
has recommended to the President that
the balance of an appropriation here
tofore made for the construction of
the nitrate plants be expended at once
to prevent deterioration of the work,
If that is done, 100000 will be i'm
nediately available to begin work at
once and prosecute it until the larger
sum is placed to the credit of the pro
iect a month hence. The fact that
there will soon be ample funds To con-
tinue work on the dam, makes it I'M
necessary for Congress to rush con-
sideration of the various proposals Tor
final disposition Of the property. It
is understood that certain modifica-
tons of his offer have been made to
Henry Ford, which he is now consid-
er;ng. When reply has been receiv-
Cd from him, the matter will De taken

decision may be reached before the

!Apropos of a rumor that trans-At-
lantic steamer rates are to be cut, a
traveller relies that before the war he
could get an insideroom on the Aqui-
tania for $125 "all tomyself." Now a
room of the same type is sold for $50
to three passengers. Gouging Of that
sort is made possible because there is
no effective competition. Give en-
enlargement to American ships thru
merchant marine subsidy, and there
will be a different story to tell. 1t
has been said that when the bill be-
comes a law the Pennsylvania Rail-
road will give contracts for the con-
struction of two 1,0O0-foot liners, big
ger and better than anything now
afloat. The renovated Leviathan will
also be ready for service under our

WILL CALL AN EXTRASESSLON
 SHIP MATTER

TOKYO, Aug. S.-The movement for the amalgamation of shipping con- cerns in the country is about to be re- viewed by MT. Ryohei Uchida and sev- eral other influential shareholders of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha Company Disapointed at the attitude of the com pany directors who have failed to ap- point committee to consider the question of amalgamation, the advo cates of the proposition have agreed to claim the call of an extraordinary session of the shareholders so that they may discuss the proposed amalga- nation which they think is of para, mount importance under existing con dition of the shipping enterprises.
 With many influential shareholders against the present directors there is a probability of the above movement being attended with success, according to the vernacular news agencies. Al ready holders of more than 100000 shares are reported to have enlisted themselves in the movement and it will not be difficult nor take any long time to attain the quorum for an ex- traordinary session.

FRENCH WON'T PURCHASE
 AMERICAN AUTO TRUCKS

PARIS, Aug. S.-Thirteen thousand American motor trucks-all of them war; or at least "occupation" veterans are going begging on European mar. kets. France, at any rate, doesn't want 'em, according to IAuto.
 French motor manufacturing circles believe they sense a danger in what they would regard as the dumping of these secondhand trucks on the French market. It would result in lowering truck prices in France and they claim, unemployment in the mo tor manufacturing industry.
 According to rAuto, the trucks have been sent to England for repair with the understanding that they are not to be sold in the United Kingdom, but are to be re-exported for Continental largely French-sale. It is charged that American motor interests have induced the government to sell the trucks this side of the ocean.
