Playing the Game Of Progress

The meeting of the states commercial organization
secretaries here in annual conference is a transfusing
event in ideas which is good for every community repre-
sented. 1t is a matter of regret that not more cities and
towns were represented.
The commercial clubs and the associations and cham

in the trend toward the greater North Dakota Ultimate

One effective influence in the meeting here was the
concurrence obtained in the suggestion of greater work

advantages Of the communities and their business and
for the benefit of the states youth this phase of activity
was stressed.
All in all. the meeting promises much for the various

scholar that the autobiography very probably will be
found to shine with literary lustre.
Balfour's connection with British politics began with
SO striking an event as the Berlin congress called to ad-
just the European concert following the Russian war on
Turkey. which had nearly resulted in the Bear really
ing his war1n-sea dream by gaining Constantinople. He
was taken to Berlin by his uncle. Lord Salisbury-then
foreign minister and later premier of Englandeas his
private secretary, and in the congress he came into con-
tact with the leading statesmen of Europe, such as Bis
marck, in a way the dominating influence of the council
and of the European checkerboard of international rela-
lions.
Balfour became chief secretary for Ireland in his
uncles cabinet in 1885, and his policy was one of coer-
cion in the enforcement OF the law. The downfall of
Parnell in the notorious affair which involved that lead
er in feminine intrigue and covered his name with scan
dial, aided Balfour to maintain his Irish stand against
great opposition.
Aside from his subsequent association with the abor-
tive move of Chamberlain toward tariff protection in
favor of development of the colonies, Balfours name re-
calls the Boer war, following which he came into sue
cession to the government as premier, and his conduct
of the crisis with Russia during the war against Japan.
The Russians insisted on the exercise of the right of
search over British ships and stopped the F. and o.
steamer. Malacca, in the Red sea, while the Knight
Commando even was sunk by the vladivostocl fleet and
the Dogger Bank fishing fleet was fired on by the Rus
sian Baltic fleet making its way around to the Eastern
coast of Siberia.
Balfour, however, Gained the intense British indigna-
ton by turning these matters over to an international
commission, with Russian assurance that the persons
responsible for the offending actions should be pun
ished.
In diplomacy following these events, Balfour's govern
ment affected a revised alliance with Japan, brought
about an Anglo-French agreement which led up to King
Edwards Triple Entente, and assisted in smoothing out
the complications between France and Germany over
matters in Morocco.
Balfour was a man of great culture, being philosopher,
musician. writer and an enthusiastic golfer of world
fame in the game. He truly was one of the great figures
of statecraft in the political history of Britain which
overlaps the end Of the nineteenth century and Is years
of the twentieth.

Editorial Comment
The Hope Of a Disaster
Duluth Herald)

Frank G. Crowel Of Kansas City. a consultant on grain
products for the federal farm board, said in Miami yes
terday that the governments effort to hold up wheat
prices by buying up the surplus will result in a "ruinous
collapse" unless nature intervenes by substantially re-
ducing the 1880 crop.
In other words, our effort to evade the law of supply
and demand will result in disaster unless a crop disaster
somewhere cuts the production of wheat very materially.
The country will sincerely hope that Mr.. Crowell is
wrong, but it must be admitted that a pretty large Sec
ton of it fears that he is right.
Improved methods and improved machinery have made
wheat production easier and cheaper, which has helped
the worldwide drop in commodity prices. There is more
wheat now in sight than the world wants to buy, for
there Is not only our own surplus but the embarrassing
surplus Of the Canadian wheat pool, and new crops are
coming on.
So it looks altogether too much as though Mr.. Crowell
were right, however much we might wish to find him
wrong.

Arthur J. BalfOur

The name Of Arthur J. Balfour will be strikingly re-
1~nembered in English political history for it's associa-
ton with the attempt of Joseph Chamberlain, during the
Balfour premiership, to convert England from a policy
OF free trade to one Of tariff protection.
The Chamberlain proposal became the dividing wedge
in the Ba.four cabinet Of the early 1875. Its free trade
Unionsists, after much see-sawing all around finally felt
compelled to cut loose from the government. The Bal
-four regime might have been toppled then, but grave
foreign complications interviewed as a result of the Russo
Japanese war. which brought England-ally of Japan
by treaty-perilously near to conflict. Balfour also was

expressions. He. in fact, kept up this attitude of nimhle
balance for two years before jockeyed into a corner from
