find that in order to be sure of
having an ample supply they would
have to lay in stocks. The coal
operators would have to settle by
competition who should have the
miners and the business, upon the
condition that the mines were oper-
ated all the year round, and the
natural solution would be that the
most available and easily-worked
coal deposits would be worked first.
If the miners union would use its
power to promote some such reason
able adjustment as this, it would
help the situation of the mine
workers and at the same time
render a great service to the public.
1t is urged in some quarters that
the mining industry should be taken
over by the Government. This,
however, would involve purchase of
all coal deposits in the country, an
impractical undertaking, and if that
was done, what policy should the
Government follow? Should it con-
tinue to divide up the limited
amount of work among all the men
who claimed a share of it, increas-
ing the pay as the amount of work
for each diminished, or should it
organize the industry for efficient
production, and compel one-third of
the miners to find other work? If
the latter is the remedy, the miners
can apply it themselves, without the
Intervention of the Government.
Would they rather do it of their
own choice or under the direction
of the Government? 4.
Social Progress
In the course of the recent hear
ings upon the coal industry before
the Labor Committee of the House
of Representatives, Washington, the
following colloquy was reported as
taking place between Congressman
Atkinson, of Missouri, and Edgar
Wallace, representative of the Fed
Grafton of Labor and member Of
the miners union:
Congressman Atkinson: "Miners wer.
getting. up to lest week 81 per cent NOR.
than they got during the peak of price.
during the war, why aren't you willing t
SKID down little now when farmers have
lost so per cent of what they had then?"r
Mr.. Wallace: us there any reason why
we should lose because farmers weren'
organized?"
This retort by Mr.. Wallace indi.
Gates that he thinks there is moth.
ing to the problem of living wage
but for every group to get contro
of its own compensation and boos
:: it up for the Others to pay.
The ambition of organized labor
to improve the living conditions O
the masses is, of course, praise
worthy, but there are certain truth!
that must be understood.
One Of these is that money wage!

measuring compensation, and an

sense. In the last analysis tn,

Lady Astor and miss Alice" Rob-
rtson met at the National Press Club
in Washington. Our own feminine
Member of Congress lost nothing by
comparison with the much-advertised
lady member Of the British House of
Commons. In physical attraction the
famed Virginian beauty may have an
advantage, but one is impressed by
the fact that Lady Astor found the
United States not good enough for
her and became a British subject,
while "Miss Alice" glories in her
American citizenship, and is contrib
uting her bit toward making the U.
S. the best country in the world.

If Judge T. H. Salmon, of Mime
apolis, is correct in his deductions
prohibition is a good thing for the
country. He says that the decrease
in the visible supply Of wash women
is positive proof of the success of
prohibition. The judge made such a
statement yesterday while addressing
200 visitors and delegates to the ninth
annual convention of the Tenth Dis
trict Federation of Women's CfuSs.
"Washer women are hard W find
now; in old days there were many"
said the judge, "and they told the
same story, always-they had to take
in washing, because their husbands
drank. They're not telling that story
any more" Prohibition cannot be so
bad after all, can it?

ISSUES SUGGESTED FOR
DEMOCRATS

That the Democrats are trying to
evade many live issues while discuss
ing dead ones, is the assertion Of the
Republican Publicity Association,
speaking through the President of
that organization, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr. The statement is made
in a comment upon the address by
Mr.. Cox in which the league was the
most prominent subject. "The Lea
que is not an appropriate issue in the
coming Congressional campaigns"
asserts the Association, "for the rea-
son that Congressman have no vote
on that subject and only about one
third of the Senators are to be chos-
en-. Moreover, the League is not a
live issue today. If it is desired to
settle real issues by appeal to the vot-
|ers, there are abundant opportunities.
'The Republicans are trying to pass
a protective tariff law and are OPP
posed by the Democrats. Make that
an ISSUE"
'The Democratic administration
asked that the railroads be continued
in government operation for five
years, and the Republican Congress-
men refused their assent. Make that
an issue.
"The Democratic administration
made recommendations for appropria-
tions and the Republican Congress
cut $2,500,OOO,OOO out of the estimates
Make that an issue.
''The Democratic administration re-
fused to demobilize after the armis-
tice until the Republicans prodded
them into activity. Make that an is
sue.
"The Democratic administration
Idiscredited Liberty Bonds as collater-
|al at banks and forced the bonds out
of the banks with a depressing effect
upon values. The Republican party
has taken a more business-ike view
of the duties of the government to-
ward its securities and raised the
! market value of bonds some 10 per
cent. Make that an issue.
"The Democratic administration
maintained some 266 government
periodicals which were used largely
for propaganda purposes and the Re-
publican Congress directed the discon-
tinuation of all but a few of them.
Make that an issue. v
:.sThe Democratic administration re-
fused to revive the War Finance Cor
poration for the benefit of American
Agriculture, and the Republicans not
only restored the corporation but put
it into effective operation. Make that
an issue. "
'EThe Democratic Congress left the
American farmer open to almost free
competition from all the rest of the
world. The Republican Congress en-
acted an emergency agricultural tar
if law. Make that an issue.
''The League issue is dead. Even
if it were not dead, it is matter with
which Representatives in Congress
have nothing to do. Above are cited
a number of questions that have
come before Congress, with Demo
Gratis on one side and Republicans on
the other. There are plenty Of real
issues there, without striving to make
false issues"

Ex-senator Albert J. Beveridge, Of
Indiana, won signal victory over
Senator Harry S. New in the Indiana
primaries Tuesday. Mr.. Beveridge
was swept out of his senate seat few
years ago by the Wilson democratic
wave. He is one of the leading pro-
gressive republicans of the country
and is really man Of presidential
caliber. The fight is claimed by many
to have been a test of Harding's adj
ministration and the defeat of Sena-
tor New is said to be slap at Presi-
dent Harding. We do not look at it
this way but rather take it as an ex-
preston of the people of Indiana for
the one they think best fitted to rep
resent them in the United States SEN
ate.

Ex-senator A. J. Gronna died at
his home in Lakota last night about
nine o'clock from cancer from which
he had been sufferer for some time.
1t was known that Mr.. Gronna would
not live very long but the end came
sooner than was expected. He was one
of the pioneer citizens of the state,
coming to Dakota Territory in 1880.
He has filled many public positions
of trust. He served in the terrific
rial legislature, was appointed on the
state board of regents by Gov. Frank
White, and was elected to the 59th,
Goth and 61st congresses and was
elected to the United States senate in
January, 1911, to fill the unexpired
term of the late Senator M. N. John
son and was reelected in 1914. In
1920 he was again a candidate for
reelection but was defeated for the
nomination in a three-cornered fight
and E. F. Ladd, of Fargo, succeeded
him. Mr.. Gronna has always been a
hard working man, has built up a
large business at Lakota and has
heavy farm interests. He was a man
of independence and sturdy manhood,
absolutely straight in his dealings
and the state has lost valuable and
much respected pioneer citizen.

H. L. Stegner, an insurance agent
of Bismarck, has announced his candi-
dacy for the republican nomination as
governor at the June primaries, OPP
posing Governor Nestos. He assails
the platform Of the present admins
tration in that Gov. Nestos assures
the people Of the state that a fair
and impartial trial will be given the
state industries, regardless of the fact
that he does not believe state owner
ship practical. Stegner calls this
state socialism, on a par with the non
partisan league program and states
that, if nominated and elected, he will
scrap all the state industries and thus
place the state administration in the
position in which it was before the
wave of state socialism swept over it.
All this is very praiseworthy but ev-
identity Stegner forgets that large

Democratic senators are trying to
delay the passage Of the republican
tariff bill now before the senate. Just
why they should do this is very
strange, because every one of them
who get up on the floor of the senate
to speak on this bill say that it is the
greatest monstrosity ever presented
to congress for passage and would be
the most harmful Of any tariff bill to
the public in general. If they are
sincere in this statement it would
seem to US that it would be good poll
tics to let their republican brethren
pass this bill and thus help them car
nv the November elections-if the
bill is such monstrosity as they de-
clare it to be. We rather suspect
that the democrats are trying to block
the passage Of the bill until after the
elections because they know that this
bill is a good thing for the country
and the voters would very soon find
that fact out and vote accordingly.

Some time ago Kate Richards o.
Hare headed a Children's Crusade up
to the White House in Washington
to try and force President Harding
to free the other political prisoners
that are serving time for disloyalty
during the war. The president very
sensibly refused to receive the dele
cation, feeling no doubt that those
sort of clubs were not in accord with
good government and especially be-
ing sponsored by such woman as
Kate Richards O'Hare. That distin-
guished woman is now inaugurating
at the White House a campaign
known "as peaceful petition to the
president" for the release Of impris-
oned war law violators, a score or
more of women and children compos-
ing the "Children's Crusade" calling
at the White House daily until the
president or Attorney General Daugh-
erty takes some steps to release these
prisoners. Personally, now that Debs
has been released and is again at
large sowing the seeds of hatred and
discomfort with no evident signs of
contrition for being disloyal to the
government that feeds and protects
him, there is no reason why the other
disloyalists should not be turned
loose and be allowed to do the same
thing-but not through any. instru-
mentality of Kate Richards O'Hare
or any of her particular kind. The
| president should be. allowed to use
his own judgment and this show of
mild intimidation should not be taken
notice of.

In news item in yesterdays issue
the en-. states that the entry of
Stegner into the gubernational race
has thrown the Independent forces in
to CONSERVATION, that his platform
has shown the fallacy of the stand
taken by Governor Nestos regarding
state industries and that the indie
pendents do not know how to combat
his candidacy. All Of which convinced
US of the truth of the old adage, ''the
wish is the father to the thought"
We do not believe that the independ-
ents are very much concerned with
the candidacy of Stegner. His candi-
dacy will have just about as much
bearing on the results of the election
as the candidacy of Baker,-his name
will be on the ballot but will not ap-
pear very prominently in the final re-
turns following the election. It's pref
ty hard to fool the hard headed citi-
zens of North Dakota for very long
time. They are just recovering from
one expensive hoax and they know
who is responsible for the recovery.
That man will get their support in
the coming election and the entry of
other candidates into the race will not
turn them from their determination
to return him to position of power
where he may continue the good work.
Governor Nestos has made too good a
governor to let the entry Of penny
ante politicians into the race effect
his ultimate election, even though the
en-. does hope that Stegner's entry
