Political considerations of some sort may induce peace at any time; but the military considerations point to a prolonged war. Neither side is yet victorious, and neither is exhausted. If the Kaiser would like peace, the Allies would not. What Italy can do has not yet been tried, and will not be shown for some months, perhaps many, to come. To assume that the Anglo- French expedition against the Dar- danelles is a failure is premature, since the siege of the Gallipoli Pen- insula is harely commenced. It took Grant from July to April to take Petersburg. Should the Allies take Constantinople by next Christmas, they will not have been too long about the job. Constantinople impregnable? May- be, until some time in November. Belgium unrecovered? Perhaps, through this summer and fall. Re- member how during our Civil War Europe expected peace every year, and after every pitched battle that stayed the North. This war, called the greatest, has not yet endured a year. Already it has cost both sides so much, that neither cares to have all the loss go for naught by agreeing to a prema- ture peace, which, however long it might last, would be but a prelude to a second conflict to decide the same issues. The one inducement to peace now might be that some belligerent would like peace in order to prepare itself more thoroughly for renewed war. The fact is that the greatest hu- manitarian, the most socially pro- gressive statesman in Europe is to- day the most militant. Asquith or others may get ‘““cold feet,” but Lloyd George is for war to the end. And he has behind him Sir Edward Grey and Lord Kitchener, as well as the chiefs of the Unionist Party. The woman’s peace conference at The Hague revealed that French wo- men, German women, English women and Belgian women are as militant as their men. The women of Europe want war in order to achieve a per- manent peace; they will “have none of a patched up article that will not endure. Europe is ‘like-the man who has been forty years sick and prefers.a venturesome .surgical operation ra- ther than more years of suffering. A ‘whole ‘generation has grown up in Europe under the constant shadows of war. Now they are accepting war in order to be rid of botk war’s shadow and war’s substance for many. years to come, says the Minneapolis| Journal. e LRSS LSS SRR S SRS * - EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS * XHRHHKEEER KKK K Rejoice with the June bride to- day, and commiserate with her later. —Wadena Pioneer-Journal. —_— The Sauk Centre Herald says that a man “seldom picks out a duplcate of himself for a son-in-law.” True it-is, ‘brother; and furthermore he “has little official part in picking out any; his chief duty being that of ac- ceptance only.—Little Falls Tran- script. —e The prosperity of a village invari- ably depends upon the number of farmers in adjacent territory.

One is selfish, the other is generous. One says “I will let you alone if you will 18t me alone;” the other: is' co-operation and carrying out the spirit of the good Samar- itan.—Laporte News. g But why must Andy resign?

KKK KK KKK KK KKK KXY * THE STORY OF * * SMITHPORT AND x * BELTRAMI PRAIRIE ¥ KR KKK KKK KRR KKK KK Seven years ago the entire country north of the Red Lake was a vast wilderness, almost unknown to the white man, where the Indians hunt- ed moose, deer, caribou and other large game, unmolested by the white settler. Great herds of caribou were then to be seen feeding on what is now known as “Beltrami Prairie,” so named by State Forester William T. Cox, whom the writer had the honor to guide across that couutl‘y a few years later. Previous to this the Indians used to cross this so-called “Prairie” in canoes, leaving Upper Red Lake at a point known as Little Deer River, and following a course north by east into the head of a stream now known as Miller Creek, down which they drifted into the Rapid River and fol- lowing its course reached the Rainy river at a place known as Clementson. Crossing the river they visited and danced with their Canadian brothers. The old “‘canoe trail” can yet be seen "in places, but it is several years since a canoe passed over it. Today it would be hard to make the stranger believe that a canoe had ever floated over “Beltrami Prairie.” The water is gone and a large por- tion of the country is cut up by large dredge ditches and fine roads. The entire country along the lake, and for some distance mnorth, is dotted with houses. One can hardly realize that such a change has taken place in so short a time. In 1908 the writer was the first settler on the north shore of Red Lake, and for two years lived here alone, my nearest store being at Shotley, some twenty-three miles away, by land, and about thir- teen miles across the lake. Finally I induced a few settlers to take up land in my immediate vie- inity, and in another year or so we petitioned for ditch 14. In the mean- time the township east of here was being settled along the lake, where a little high land was to be found. After ditch 14 was a certainty set- tlers came in large numbers, but not fast enough to settle on all the land before it was sold for ditch taxes. Under the famous’ (or rather_infa- mous) Volstead act, the land not homesteaded could be bought by the speculator, who was to use his home- stead right, but was under no obli- gations to live on or improve the land, thus working a hardship on the actual settler, who had to live on his land and improve it, thereby enhansing the value of the specula- tors’ 1and by improving the land and roads around it. And the home- steader has to pay the same price for the land at the time of final proof as the speculator. Hven the excess, or bonus paid by the speculators in the process of bidding is claimed by |4 the government instead of being ap- plied on the cost of ditch construe- tion. However, we have good land and | intend to stay right here even though Uncle Sam is bankrupt and has his land sold for taxes. Last spring I GET TO THE CAUSE. Bemidji People Are Learning the Way. There is but little peace or com- fort for the man or woman with a bad back. The distress begins in early morning—keeps up throughout the day. It’s hard to get out of bed, it’s- torture to stoop or straighten. Plasters and. liniments may relieve, but cannot cure if the cause is in- side—the kidneys. When suffering 80, -use Doan’s Kidney Pills, the test- ed and proven kidney remedy, used in kidney troubles for over 50 years. Doan’s Kidney Pills are recommended by thousands for just such cases. Proof of their effectiveness in the tes- timony of this Bemidji resident: Mrs. Henry Revoir, 342 Minnesota Ave, Bemidji, says: “I was so bad with backache that I could hardly do anything. I had a dull, steady -pain in the small of my back-which was always worse if I did any bending. A couple of boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills put an-end-to the. trouble; and 1 have never had a return attack. Another of the family complained-of backache and suffered severely. Doan’s Kidney Pills soon made this one all right.” Price 650c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Revoir had.

' From 1911 to 1912 land along {, these rcads.increased on the average an acre, while lands a mile from the road increased only $10 an acre. Dinwiddie county, Va., is an- other insiractive case. The build- mg of miles of fine roads caused d adjacent to the . roads to. increase in value from 4/$24.25 to $30 an acre, while lands ten miles away increased an averace of $16.32 an acre. The state builds the road, and & the landcyner sells it if he sells the land. That would look queer . 'to a man from another planet. The man iniles away is taxed to i, build roads, and the people along the pike get the selling value of them. Rather queer, too, when one thinks of it for a few min- utes. The figures are a powerful argu- ment for good roads and also for a better way of apportioning the ‘burdens and benefits—Farm and Fireside. e e petitioned for a voting place in our township and last fall we polled about 30 votes, so you can see we are growing. We had 14 miles to go for our mail, so I petitioned for a post- office at Smithport, which was es- tablished last November. After con- siderable quibbling we have been able to get a mail route established and after July first the postmaster will be relieved of the job of carry- ing the mail. K. W. Kucken was the lowest,bidder for the mail route. ALBERT SMITH. Over 16,000 working women in Denmark are members of unions.
