" die of the worst depression
in history, a high official suggest
ed to the writer that it is very
doubtful if the United States
could be brought into a boycott.
This doubt was probably one of
the reasons, an internationally
known jurist and former league
official declared, which led Japan
to choose this particular moment
to launch her Manchurian drive.
Article 16 not only calls for
boycott, but provides for the use
OF joint military, naval and air
forces to carry out the leagues
decisions.

NTASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Ja-
w pans continued defiance of
the League of Nations is seen
here as bringing the United States
within measurable distance of
the gravest decisions since the
spring of 1917.
Should Japan continue her
present military course in Man
churia, a league boycott against
her is regarded as probable. The
United States then would either
have to join the boycott, or at
least respect it, or find itself in
dangerous conflict with the rest
of the worlc.

Modern Witchcraft

There is a streak of curiosity in human nature that
costs about SIPS, 000, 1000 annually. John Mulholland, a
professional magician says this sum is spent every
year by people who consult fake fortune-tellers, astrol-
ogsts, phrenologists and crystal gazers, trying to tear
away the wells of the future.
Ever since the Witch of Endor lived in a cave some
place near Jerusalem, and found out a thing or two
for King Solomon, people have been making the same
kind of pilgrimages.
AS a rule the fake fortune-teller manages to give
some encouraging information. The power of suggestion
is strong. People become happier, expectant of some
thing good, and since they are in the mood, perhaps good
fortune is caught more easily.
The psychology of prophecy is a powerful factor. OF
course, 1t is a shame to see sl25, 900 900 wasted. But
it may be that some small percentage of it comes back
with interest. Not because the fortune-teler can read
tomorrows calendar, but because he probably does bring
a little happiness when he forecasts a roseate future.

Drake Enters Race
Drake Register

Drake ReglSter)
With jamestown and New Rockford making claims as
advantageous sites for the capitol of North Dakota. 1t
appears that an active campaign will be made to take
the site away from Bismarck.
The argument is advanced by jamestown and New
Rockford that Bismarck is not in the center of the
state but a glance at the map will indicate also that
neither Jamestown nor New Rockford can lay claim to
this title. The geographic center of the state Is a
point about Is miles south of Drake and such being the
case the most logical lsite for the new capitol building
should be in Drake.
Not only is Drake located in the geographic center OF
North Dakota but it is served by railroads that run di-
agonaly across the state from the southeast to the
northwest and from the northeast to the southwest. No
other city in the state can lay claim to being on the
crossroads of this great state.
In addition to the 500 Line, which thus makes Drake
the center of its vast system in North Dakota; the main
line of the Great Northern runs within six miles of the
city thus %affording easy connection with all the towns
of that system.
The greatest highway of the state, number nine, which
connects up with every other important highway in
North Dakota, passes through Drake and finds this city
at its mid point. Incidentally it might be mentioned that
this is the longest highway in the state and also passes
through the greatest number of cities and towns.
Realizing the Importance of Drake as the center of
the state, various civic leaders in the city are planning
to have maps prepared which will show the strategic
position of Drake, with regard to transportation in
North Dakota. T. E. Sleight, mayor of Drake and for
mer representative to the state legislature, states that
the amount of money that would be saved to the tax
payers of North Dakota in mileage alone would more
than pay for the new capitol in a period of years.
ut is not the intentions of the Drake citizens to
oppose Bismarck as the site for the state capitol" de-
clared President Joe Rindt of the Drake Commercial
club, but if the site is to be changed we cannot see any
logical reason why Jamestown or New Rockford should
get the capitol on the argument Of more centrally loca-
ed city. On the basis of that argument, Drake alone is
entitled to the site"
The Drake Commercial club With a membership of l74
members have delegated a committee of ten prominent
businessmen to make arrangements for a campaign to
acquaint the people of North Dakota with the advantages
Of this city as a site for the capitol should any of the
other cities of the state make a determined fight TO
change the site. Already a fund of $1,500O0 has been
pledged to carry on this campaign.
