No Industrial Peace
Says Writer in Nation

Industrial peace is impossible in
AMERICA today, writes Albert De-
Silver in The Nation for January 25,
because capital and labor are too un-
equal in strength. Just as among
nations, so also in industry, only a
peace between equals can last. Mr..
DeSilver, who is director of the
American Civil Service Liberties
Union, explains the legal significance
of various famous injunction cases.
Unions, he says, should bear in mind
the wide variety Of state laws, most
Of which are indefinite enough to
let the judge decide according to his
personal sympathies.
In the same issue of The Nation
appears an article by Benjamin Stol-
berg Of Hull House, entitled "Back
to the Jungles." The packers use up
steer with scientific economy, says
Mr.. Stolberg, but they wear a man
and waste his strength. The COM
pany unions, he charges, are bringing
back the old conditions which had
been somewhat improved since Upton
Sinclair wrote "The Jungles." The
Industrial Democracy" plane were
devised by the packers for the main
purposes of reducing wages, accord
ing to Mr.. Stolberg, who joints out
that they were installed. In July

The Only Profession
Ordained by God"

In a speech before the Tri-State
Grain Growers at Fargo last week,
Dr.. j. H. Worst referred to agricul-
ture as the only profession ordained
by God.
"The town and country must get
together and work for the common
good if the nation is to prosper, DR..
Worst, president Of the Tri-State
Grain Growers convention, declared
in what he characterized as his
valedictory address. He has been
president nearly two score years.
''It's all right to look to our legis-
lative bodies for relief in the present
agricultural condition." DR.. Worst
said, in referring to the financial
straits the industry finds itself, but
while we are waiting for that, there
is a preliminary work we can do
we can learn to cooperate. l don't
mean the cooperation that works for
one person or group to the detriment
of another, but the cooperation that
helps all. The Grain Growers and
and the Equity must work together,
as all cooperators must work to-
gether.
Friction between town and country
must cease. The town cannot live
without the country, and while the
country can live without the town.
it's very inconvenient. We need
community cooperation.
"We need cooperation between lab
or and capital, between the managers
and the public. We do not want
rule by one class or group, but join
rule by all four of these groups"
CDR. Worst referred to Agriculture
as "the only profession God ordained
the most dignified, and yet the most
discredited profession in the world

McC cCumber Is Needed
By the Old Gangsters

National Republican leaders are
worried over North Dakota and anx-
ious to reelect Senator P. ]. Nc
Cumber, says special dispatch to
the st. Paul Pioneer Press. The Pho
neer Press article, written by Edgar
Markham, goes somewhat into de-
tail concerning what is worrying the
G. o. P. bosses. Local political obser-
vers declare there is more truth than
fiction in Markham's observations
and point to it as an indication that
McCumber will have his way with
the present administration as the
bosses feel they cannot ,dowithout
him.
The Pioneer Press story follows:
Republican leaders Of the Senate
are very much concerned over the
candidacy of Senator Porter j. Nc
Cumber of North Dakota for re-
election. If they had their way about
it North Dakota would return her
senior senator with unanimous vote.
"This does not mean that Senator
McCumber is so popular with his
fellow members that all would go
the limit in helping him to get back
just because they like him person.
ally. There is a different reason.
The reason is Robert M. LaFolette
of Wisconsin and the fact, that with
McCumber chairman of the finance
committee, he is third on the Re-
publican side of the committee.
"McCumber's defeat would leave
LaFollette ranking Republican on the
finance committee, which means that
he would be acting chairman in the
event of the absence of the chair
man. In the past two years the
acting chairman has been nearly as
important a figure in the finance
committee as was the chairman.
Senator Smoot alone is ahead OF
LaFollette on the finance committee
should McCumber fall by the way
side either at the primary or general
election"

WATERWAY WILL
PAY FOR ITSELF
ELECTRIC POWER FROM LAKES
TO CANAL WILL PAY
BUILDING COST.

The electric power developed by
the dams on the proposed Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway, sold
at an infinitesimal fraction of sur
rent electrical prices, will pay the
entire cost of the development in less
than so years, Former Governor,
w. l.. Harding of Iowa told the Tri-
State Grain Growers convention at
Fargo. He spoke upon the economic
effect of the proposed channel.
The canal to be built is 81 miles
long, can be built in three years,
will extend the cheaper water trans
portation 1,500 miles inland, and will
cut the cost of shipping a bushel of
wheat to Liverpool by 18 cents, Gov
ernor Harding said. He said that
the channel would cost $272,000,000,
about half the cost Of the Panama
canal, from which the United States
has never received a cent in direct
return. The Canadian government
is willing to stand half the cost of
the channel, he said. The canal will
give Buffalo an all water route to
Liverpool that is shorter than the
route from New York to Liverpool.
After outlining the fight being
waged upon the waterway by At
lantic seaboard and railroad inter-
costs, Mr.. Harding asked that men,
bers of the convention write per-
sonal letters to their representatives
in congress asking their support of
the measure when it come up for
action. The address in part follows

Direct ACTION
IS new SLOGAN
DEVILS LAKE IS HEADQUARTERS
OF NEW MOVEMENT
KNEESHAW SEC.

"Direct action" is the vigorous and
suggestive title of petitions to con-
gress now being mailed by the thous-
ands to farmers, farm organizations
and business men in North Dakota,
from the headquarters of the secre-
tary, Harry Kneeshaw, at Devils
Lake. The petitions ask the U. s..
Congress for immediate and direct
action to solve the financing and
marketing difficulties Of agriculture.
They are so worded so to appeal to
persons of conservative ideas and
business training who know that quick
and forceful action is necessary, but
realize that the stigma Of class legis-
lation must be avoided.
Among the men who have endorsed
the movement are Harrison Granett,
St. Thomas; Jos. M. Kelly, and A
B. Jackson, Devils Lake; j. D. Bacon,
and j. Nelson Kelly, Grand Forks;
John Gunderson, Aneta; E. Y. Sarles,
Hillsboro; Arthur White, Kramer;
Geo. Dickson, CT Brinsmade and VIM.
Lamb of Michigan.
The petition recites that large ag-
ricultual sections have been brought
to the verge of bankruptcy by present
we'll known conditions and asks the
government to establish permanent
policy and organization, to extend
foreign credit in farm products, until
such time as world marketing and
world buying has been restored to
normal. The petition also askes for
adequate financing and tariff protec-
tion of the Ameican farmer.
Following Mr.. Kneeshaw's presen-
tation of the petitions to agricultural
leaders he received the following
telegram from Walter Reid and H. B.
Fuller, Armenia under date of Jan.
11th.
| Executive committe of North Da-
kota Farm Bureau Federation con-
siders that your revised plan is in
line with the polices adopted by State
Farm Bureau Federation and will CO.
operate in endeavor to make same ef.
fcctive."
The plan of the "Direct Action"
petitions is to send strong, represen-
tative delegation to Washington from
North and South Dakota, Minnesota
and Montana, for the purpose of push
ing the proposal with all possible
speed and vigor. The undertaking
will be financed by popular subscri-
ptions. J. M. Kelly of Devils Lake,
widely known as President of the
Farmers Railroad, will be treasurer
of the fund.
The Farm Bureau Federation has
issued statement through it's Sec
retary, H. B. Fuller, which reads in
part as follows:
"Most of the suggestions and all Of
the activities so far appearing seem
to be for the purpose of furnishing
the farmer additional credit. Credit
is important, but it is not fundamental
need. The fundamental need is
market for farm products which will
bring to the farmer profit over and
above the cost Of production, market
which will enable him to pay his
debts rather than artificial aid to as
sist him in CREATING new ones"

Pope BENEDICT
! TRANSLATEDT0
LIFE ON HIGH
DEATH OCCURRED SUNDAY AF-
TER LONG AND BRILLI-
ANT CAREER.

The death Of Pope Benedict the
Fifteenth, occurred last Sunday
morning, o'clock, at Rome. The end
had been expected for several hours.
Cardinal Gasparri, papal secretary
of state, received great number of
stelegrams from all parts of the world,
including those from King George of
England, King Alfonso of Spain, the
king Of Belgium and the president
Of Brazil.
While waiting for the last sum-
mons, the doctor told his holiness that
they were praying for the peace of
the world, to which the pope replied:
"I would willingly offer my life
for the peace of the world"
During all the hours of his suf-
fering, the Pope never relinquished
his affability toward those of his
household who attended him, smiling
even bantering the doctors, and re-
cognizing and appreciating every at
tention from his visitors. On his
bed of pain the pontiff seemed fig
ure of imposing moral grandeur.
"What man-What a pope''-
have been common expressions of
admiration. To his aged doctor, who
refused to take rest, the Pope said
s'Go and lie down; you are an old
man now."
When the Pope's nephew, Marquis
Della Chiesa, despite of his own ill
ness, came to the bedside early in the
morning the Pope reproached him
for his imprudence and begged him
to return Immediately to bed.
When Cardinal Gasparri was un.
able to put his hand on the pontif-
cial will in drawer of the desk, the
Pope called to him
"Your eyes are bad. Bring me the
drawer. 1 will look myself"
Thus, thru hours of agony, there
fell from his. mouth for each who
approached hilu, word and a smile

EVIDENCE.

trial of William GUNNER on the
charge of numbering Marie Wick, of
>Grygla, Minn., in Fargo hotel on
June last, testified that GUNNER
admitted him to Miss Wick's room
the morning after the murder.
He used key similar to that CIV
en- Miss Wick when she retired the
previous night and which has not been
found since, he testified.
Pickering said also that GUNNER
suggested that it was case Of sui
eide, that it could not have been mur-
der, because the door was locked.
Pickering answered GUNNER, he
said, with the statement that it was
murder.
Fred Lawrence, son of the propriet-
ress Of the hotel, testified that Gum

ANDY MILLER
SCRAP IS WARM
"CLEAN COURTS COMMITTEE
NOT IMMACULATE AC-
CORDING TO YOUNG.

The clean court committee of North
Dakota, which brought the charges
against Mr.. Miller, was represented
at the hearing by former Senator
Gronna, N. C. Young and John Poll
ock of Fargo.
Mr.. Miller was present with his
counsel, former Senator Thomas Of
Colorado, and Jas. M. Hanley, Of
Mandan, Senator McCumber whose
recommendation is said to have brout
about Mr.. Miller's nomination, also
participated.
Mr.. Hanley, in statement issued
after the hearing termed charges Of
disloyalty during the war brought
against Mr., Miller absolutely unfair
and ridiculous" and in answer to the
allegation that the nominee had
failed to enforce the prohibition laws
the attorney said, "We also have
documentary proof that he succeeded
in obtaining over sixty convictions and
sent at least six men to prison" for
violation these acts.
The charge of disloyalty was dis
proved by documentary evidence be-
fore the committee showing that Mr..
/ Miller had bought Liberty bonds in
every loan drive to the amount he
was assessed. That he also had taken
an active part in Red Cross work as
we'll as having two sons in the army,
The committee was very much
astounded to hear from Judge
Young's own lips that he, Judge
Young, had been drunk on one
occasion. This statement was
| brought forth in answer to i'll
quiry from member of the
committee after Judge Young
had stated that he had personal
knowledge that Miller had been
drunk on one occasion.
One of the members of the COM
mittee in turn asked him if he had
ever been under the influence of
liquor and his reply was that he
had on one occasion. The committee
concluded it was stand off between
Miller and Young as far as personal
habits were concerned.
After Judge Young had completed
his statement Chairman Cummins
said to him that he thought the state
ment and the spirit back Of it was
an insult to the committee.
Former Senator Gronna urged the
rejection of Miller's confirmation or
the ground that he was directly in
sympathy with the I. w. w. faction
in North Dakota and he stated fur.
ther that while all the farmers o1
North Dakota were not I. w. WIS
that all the I. w. WIS belong to the
farmers movement, the Nonpartisar
League, the inference being that the
farmers movement was more or less
dominated by I. W. w. influences.
The statement Of Senator Gronna
caused considerable comment arounc
the corridors of the capitol in view
of the fact that in the fall Of 1917
! Mr.. Gronna appeared at the mass
convention held at st. Paul by the
Nonpartisan League and spoke from
the same platform as A. C. Townley
president of the League. It was alst
reported that Gronna before thu
primaries of 1920 had solicited the
support of the League and jromiset
that wheather or not he was indorsee
by the League convention as candi
date for the senate he would volun
teer to give ten days time in tht
! state of North Dakota speaking il
fsupport of the League. On the basi!
of this statement the chairman o:
the Nonpartisan League was wiret
as to Senator Gronna's offer Of as
. sistance.

Here is the latest idea in camps for
motorists, says the Popular Mechanics
Magazine: An Oakland (Cal.) concern
is spending no less than $4,000 in
erecting ''bungalettes" on an eight-acre
tract to be let to motoring tourists by
the night or for any longer period
"up to fifteen years (aS the manage
ment jokingly announces), which is
the length of the lease on the land.
These simple residences are designed
to take the place of tents, and while
their furnishings are meager compared
with regular houses. they offer con-
Siderably more in the way Of conve-
niences that is commonly offered by an
ordinary tent. These bungalettes are
of two types. some with one room and
some with two rooms. They are built
entirely Of wood, and are equipped
with sinks, running water, electric
lights, two-burner gas plates, etc.
