Sparks, in an edit- orial says: It is really serious. We have at- tended gasoline indignation meetings, if that is the proper title to give them, inquired from various sources and have had heart to heart talks with accredited representatives of the large oil interests and we have al- most been convinced that gasoline will reach forty to fifty cents per gal- lon in the early summer. It seems incredible, we will admit, and we do not like the sound of it any better than our readers will. We have tried to treat it as something of a joke or an impossibility, but with the facts before us in regard to the underproduction of crude oil, if they are true, and they do have a ring of truthfulness to them that it is diffi- cult to dispute, we cannot see but that gasoline is due for a big jump very soon. ‘What’s to be done? We are frank to confess that we do not know. The oil companies seem to feel that they have given us the reason for it all in their report of the under-production in the Cushing field, the largest pro- ducer of crude ever known, but this explanation seems to be accepted by many with a grain of salt. In recent years the internal com- bustion engine has come into large use and is being used extensively by others than automobilists. The farm- er has rapidly taken advantage of the cheaper and more efficient farm power supplied by a gasoline engine, also a large number of farmers now own automobiles. So, with the auto- mobile users, farmers and other users of gasoline wanting to know why gasoline has already advanced near- ly 100 per cent and a prospect of a 300 to 400 per cent advance, it seems to us that there should be forthcom- ing very soon a very satisfactory ex- planation of the real reason why. The fact remains, however, that we cannot, or -at least a large number of us cannot, afford to pay forty to fifty cents per gallon for gasoline, and if an investigation proves con- clusively that-true supply and de- mand is responsible for the increase, it is up to us to sell or junk the|. joy-buggy or find a “friend of the common people” in the way of cheap- er fuel. CHURCH ADVERTISING. Says the Stillwater Gazette, pas- tors in La Cross believe in advertis- ing, and why not? A vigorous go-to- church campaign has been inaugur- ated, and during Lent half-page ad- vertisements at regular rates are to be run in the newspapers. And no doubt it will be found a paying in- vestment. 'MAKE IT HOT. Judge Stanton yesterday ordered || that if bar fixtures seized at Puposky could not be sold that they be used as fuel to heat the county jail. He evidently believes in making it hot for-the five men lodged in jail onf- charges of selling liquor without a license. Gary, Indiana, has taken the lead in the crusade for the sale of pure milk when it started to enforce an ordinance which authorizes the sale of only pasteurized milk. It is a step’that the state of Indiana itself was not able to take through its legis- lature and the outcome in Gary is being watched throughout that and other states. The ordinance will force every dairyman in the city of Gary to provide a pasteurizing pro- cess. The Minnesota - ‘Crop Improvement i Note—The following is the ninth of a series of articles describing and discussing the Swiss military defense system published by the Pioneer by spe- cial arrangement with - the Spokane Spokesman-Review. — Editor. (From the Spokane Spokesman- Review.) Two Spokane women were discuss- ing war and preparedness against war. “I intend, so far as possible, to subdue the fighting spirit in my boys. I intend that they shall not have as playthings toy guns, pistols, swords, drums or soldier figures. I hate war; I am going to be consist- ent and teach my boys not to fight.” That mother’s judgment was chief- ly emotional and largely drawn from an incomplete weighing of the case. Every right thinking person detests the quarrelsome, bullying boy, but the bullying boy exists and will con- tinue to exist. Evil, injustice, envy, covetousness, violence have always existed and will not take sudden flight in our day. They must be met by force if life is to be worth living for the good people in the world. It had not occurred to that mother that she was trying to make molly- coddles and cowards of her boys; trying to bring them up in a line of iraining tending to choke out the noblest trait of the normal youth and man—the chivalrous instinct to de- fend women and protect the child, if need be, with his very life. £ Suppose that mothenhnn succeed in her lamentable effort and ‘rear her boys ‘to a literal acceptance’ “of “héF doctrine that they must never fight. Further suppose that, walking with their sister along some "quiet Toad they are startled by the sudden-ap- pearance from a roadside thicket' of dn evil creature seized ‘with lust; that this vile image of a man lays vio- lent hands upon the terrified ‘girl, and then these boys, acting ' upon their mother’s years of constant pre- cept, should leave their - screaming sister to her fate more terrible than death. ‘What measure of approval think you that mother’s ‘associates and friends and the community in which she dwells would give her peace-at- any-price doctrines then? Through all her after years she would be agon- ized by the thought she never could drive away, that in her false zeal she had wrecked her children’s lives, and her own life as well. This is not a fantastic illustration. All history tells us that on the wide trail of an invading army no woman can be wholly safe. Though it is true that only an occasional civilized and disciplined soldier will be guilty of crimes of violence and rapine, des- perate and criminal men always come in on the wake of a moving army. Often they are of the nationality of the invaded land, drawn into the vor- tex of war by the opportunities for pillage, violence and theft. Cost of Unpreparedness. “But,” say the pacifists, “war is such a dreadful thing!” All war is dreadful and wars of invasion most dreadful of all. If any one shall doubt it let him consider Belgium, and invaded France, and unhappy Serbia, and, worse than these, that ruined land of Poland, across whose ravaged breast the dreadful tide. of war has rolled again and again, as the great armies of Germany and Russia alternately have fought their advancing or retreating way. Exactly for the reason that war is dreadful‘a peace desiring country like the United States ought to arm and equip itself for defense and self pre- servation. If we should be too timid or indolent to defend ourselves, who else in all the world will defend us? If, by our weakness, or by proclaim- ing to all the world our acceptance of the Bryan doctrine we thereby should invite attack by a greedy and LIST Your'city pjoperty with Glayton G.
