Of Mr.. Fonkalsruds calibre for this
important position. He is a man OF
wide experience and thoroly familiar
with North Dakota conditions. His
years Of experience in the building,
equipment and supervision of hos
pitals will be of inestimable value to
the Board and insures the success
Of the project from the start. The
trustees of st. Luke's hospital Of Far
90 agreed to his resignation as sup
erintendent of their institution with
the greatest reluctance, feeling that
in releasing him to Minot he would be
given an opportunity to enlarge his
sphere of usefulness and broaden the
scope of his activities. Altho still

kalsrud has accomplished what to the
average man would seem life's work.

weeks in New York and other eastern
cities on work in connection with his
statue. Both New York and Phila-
delphia have made a request for the
second statue but DR.. Coe has adhered
to his original determination that this
should go to North Dakota. He Wis
tied Mandan and Bismarck last week.
DR.. Coe expressed himself as won
derfully surprised at the beauties Of
Riverside Park and the work that has
been done there. He said, "You Mi
not people have had audacious courage
in building as you have but you will
reap big results from your parks.
Your tourist camp alone, with it's Won
derful bathing facilities will bring
you thousands of dollars situated as
it is upon the international Highway.
| am making no promises but do not
be surprised if the statue is placed
here"
Dr. made a splendid address at
the Rotary Club luncheon, Monday
noon, being introduced by Vice Presi-
dent A. Bratsberg of the park board.
Monday evening he was entertained
informally at dinner at the Leland
Hotel by the park board. He spent
with Superintendent Doolittle and
members of the park board looking
over proposed sites for the statue if
it is decided to present it to Minot.
While here, he met one of his early
friends in the state legislature in the
person of Attorney James Johnson
and the two had a pleasant time to-
gether indulging in "reminiscences of

his praise of the work that had been

|M'CUMBER'S LOSS WOULD BE
BLOW TO ENTIRE NORTHWEST

call attention to the McCumber case
and turn away to the consideration of
other things. There ought to be in
this world no help for the fellow who
refuses to help himself. For the rea-
sons here stated, | was glad when
Washington state in 1920 reelected
Senator Wesley l.. Jones, who has
been in congressional service for more
than twenty years. l shall be equally
glad if it sees fit to re-elect Senator
Miles Poindexter this year. These
men have served in both houses, they
are experts on all questions of legis-
lature procedure, they have wide ac-
quaintances in the executive depart
ments, and, what is most important
of all, they have at last, like McCum-
ber, climbed up, through the operation
of~,the seniority rule to sacrifice an
asset of that kind would be like a
business man putting into the fire his
surplus capital.
There isn't voter in North Dakota
who would knowingly conduct his own
affairs contrary to the established
rules of business. The west, because
it is newer than the east, has hund-
red requests to make of congress
where the east has one. All of them
bear in one way or the other upon
development. If those matters are in
the hands Of trained men, there is al
ways chance for them to go through;
if they are in the hands of tyros or
incompetents, they usually fail.
l want to repeat that I have no
personal interest in McCumber, just
as / had none in Jones in 1920, and
have none in Poindexter now. have
an interest, however, in seeing the
west, whose wants in this city are so
numerous, in a position where it can
hold its own against sections of the
country which long ago learned that it
was good business to keep useful men
in the house and senate as long as
they would consent to stay. The west
can have such position by adopting
q similar policy. AS have said be-
fore in these dispatches, rotation in
office is alright in the county, the dis
trict, the city and state, but it is all
wrong so far as capable members of
the two houses are concerned. If a
man started on congressional career,
is made of the right stuff, he will
become more useful to his people as
the years 60 by. In time he should be
an asset so valuable that even sue-
gestion that he be retired would raise
a general protest. i am SURPRISED
that no such protest has yet been
made in North Dakota.

DR.. Henry Waldo Coe of Portland,
Oregon, arrived in Minot, Sunday af-
ternoon, for the purpose Of comforting
with the members of the Minot Park
Board, in regard to his proposed do
nation of bronze equestrian statue
of Former President Theodore Roose-
welt to some North Dakota city.
Mandan, Bismarck and Minot are be-
ing considered by DR.. Coe as the cities
most entitled to receive the statue
and his visit here was for the purpose
of looking over the ground and con-
sidering Minot's claims.
DR.. Coe formerly lived at Mandan
but left North Dakota some thirty
one years ago. While residing in this
state he was frequently visited by
Theodore Roosevelt who was then
ranching at Medora and having much
in common, the two men became fast
friends and this friendship proved to
be enduring. After the death Of
Colonel Roosevelt, DR.. Coe proposed
to honor the memory of his friend by
presenting to the city of Portland a
bronze equestrian statue representing
Colonel Roosevelt as the "Rough Rid
er" and as he came out of the west
in the earlier days. Alexander
Phimister Proctor Of New York was
engaged as sculptor and members of
the Roosevelt family were consulted as
to the design. The selection of the
tvne of horse was made by General
Leonard Wood. who suggested a west
ern horse with a strain of pure blood
and much time and expense was given
to this feature alone. The horse was
finally secured in California. The
base. upon which it is to be set, is
thirteen feet. in height. It is expect
ed that the Portland statue will be
unveiled on August 5th and that
President Harding will make the dedi-
catory address. r. -.
When the park board learned that
It was the intention, of DR.. Coe to
give an exact duplicate of this statue
to some North Dakota city in remem-
berance Of the ranchne life of Colonel
Roosevelt in this state, they at once
took .up the matter with DR.. Coe.

THE HEART
OF THE OPEN
SHOP ISSUE

Can Editorial from the Christian
Science Monitor which il a Challenge
To the Organized Union Haters.)
Underlying the momentous protest
of the coal miners and railway en-
ployees of the United States against
proposed wage reductions, that If
temporarily ended by compromise
still leaves the question in dispute TO
be raised again in the near future,
there is the deeper and wiser issue of
the continued existence of the labor
unions. During the past four or five
years there has been concerted
movement on the part of many great
American industrial corporations look
ing TO the elimination of what is
known as the closed shop" in which
such organizations as the National
Founders Association. the National
Association of Manufacturers, and the
National Erectors Association have
taken a leading part. The disadvan-
tages Of what is said To be Labor con-
troll of industry; the regulation of
working hours, fixed wage rates for
all labor of a certain class without
regard to unit efficiency, and limita-
tion on the number of apprentices
that are allowed to learn a trade, have
been widely submitted TO the press
and public through the United States
Chamber of Commerce and other
agencies.
The challenge thrown down by the
employers has been met by the trades
union leaders with an unqualified de-
fiance. They insist that the war
fare against the closed shop is, in
reality, waged against trade union
ism in any form, and that the open
shop means the destruction of all un-
ions and a return TO the long hours
and other unfair conditions that SO
often prevailed before labor learned
to organize. With the charges and
counter charges of union despotism
and employers greed for large profits
the impartial onlooker may not be
greatly concerned. What is of great
importance is the admission by both
