Such days, they complain are a waste of public time, and are meaningless displays of public senti- ment, hypocritically or superstitiously ob- served. Fortanately the direction -of the nations is net in the hands of such blind guides, men who can see nothing beyond the day’s work, and the day’s profit. Wiser heads have managed, from generation to generation, to gain control of our destinies. Such men have always realized one card- inal defeet of human nature—the shortness of its, menory for the great moments of History, its significiant instructive crises of achievement and warning. A great object is achieved, a great danger is passed. In the hour of triumph and escape, men rend the skies with jubilations, crowd them with flagylirradiate them with bonfires. Never was such a moment. Left to themselves, however, a week or two would suffice for fHe achievement to become a common- place, the danger to be forgotten. But, hose wiser, far seeing ones, as they look . on at *“the’tumult and the shouting,” per- geive the eternal significance of such mo- moments_ Great moments of achieved free- dom, For these there must be consecrated freedom. For these there must be conse- crated monuments, commerative days for- ever set apart, lest men should through forgetfulness, fall into bondage again. Herbes, saints, fighters, workers, dreamers the dauntless martyrs for ideas, for these it is not merely well, but necessary, that there should be abiding memorials, by which men looking up from the dusty pre- doctipations of their daily tasks shall be sharply and inspiringly recalled to that gomething in our lives which we call the soul. " The world has recently gone through e of the gravest crises in its history. But ready, like men who have survived a tidal wave that has laid their city in ruins e have begun to minimize the danger that raatened us. It is past and gone, and once more, we return to our work and our play. The dead that died for us sleep, and the frads ‘grows. " Yet, as the sea but waits for its hour to sweep once more against our careless walls 80 the danger that was will surley menace us again, unless we make sure that this lesson shall never be forgotten, and so school our minds against it that not only shall it never again catch us unawares, but- that it shall in time be wiped out from the catégbry of permitted things. Armistice Day has been decreed that it shall keep alive in a symbol, from year to year, the memory of the horror of the cruelest and foulest war ever fought, the memory of the vast gladness that swept the world a its nightmare came to an end 4he memory of the universal resolution that no such infamy should ever stain the human record again. In the past war has been regarded as a necessity, the only method of deciding con- flicting issues between races and nations, and its evils have been systematically con- cealed beneath the various bedazzlements " of its fictitiaus glory, so-that we forget. ! But the time has come for us to see the 2 monster as it“is. Whatever be the matters in disptte:bétween nationeyit is now real- ized asdmperative that some other way of deciding them must be found. Differences miuat inevitably arise, but'the sword shall no longer deal with them, Surely, if slowly a League-6fiGommon Sense has been form- ing among the mest advanced people of the earth which condemns war as obsolete ag it is criminal —Elks Magazine. 1 1< A NEW COUNTY “{ We congratulate the people of Lake of the Woods County. They deserve much credif for. putting over a proposition that will without doubt be to their benefit. It i up to- thé mother county to banquet the boys from the north end, They are en- titled to a royal feast. We wish them well. May they prosper and grow, ! ! ’haps‘that’s been the trouble, e FMGURE IT OUT. We will To' doubt see some very. “high grade” editorials telling just why the coun- try went “hay-wire”—why the people lef! the old-parties for the new. : Some call it progress of “Radicalism,” the spirit of :unrest, the spirit of uncerta ty and the like, but now-that it’s alkover wouldn’t it be fair to term it the ‘Birth of )le to become radical in t surely is possible to be: come radicalllin the other ‘extreme. Per: ™ Since the war practically every so-éall- ed progressive idea has been ¢alled*radical and its advocates bolshevists, or socialist, “reds’” and worse, when in reality many of the ideas should have been adopted and all’ of them given serious, sane thinking and consideration. No, we do not believe the country is going to the “bow-wows.” We do not be- lieve that the so-called radical Red is gain- ing contrpl of the nation or the northwest states. A great many, right thinking, right minded citizens have merely concluded that the Capitalistic Reds, or radicals have gone far enough. That eonditions.are about as bad "as people can stand for:*That we have had all the murders and robberies, we ought to have, is'sélf evident. More eyes have been openeg, sinc: eelection day than ever before. The present controling par- ties have been unable to control these law violations. Naturally they’have been credit- ing the common herd with these viglations Dyed-in-thé-wool partisans jump at the crack of the whip of party leaders and line up in support of the call, which is a matter of loyalty and not in'the conviction of a righteous cause, Men and women today refuse to heed the crack of the whip. They must be shown that the cause is a righteous one. They must be convinced that it is for the interests of all the people, or they will re- sent to the commands. Rational minds are in the majority by the millions and always will be in this great nation of ours. People must not be condemned for thinking. That is their God given right. Neither must they be labeled Bolshevists or Reds, because they exercise their God given right to think and express themselves. * This is' a free country to be controlled by Radicals, be they extreme capitalists or " ‘extréeme Reds, is a thing of the past. The two extremes must give in, and join with a progressive, fational-fair minded major-- ity, or trail in the dust. § {2 LA ACCIDENTS ALARMING Statistics published by the health serv- ice of the American Red Cross show that deaths among children of school agedue to acidents are proportionately much larger than among either young children or older persons. Out of each 1,000 deaths of chil- dren between the ages of five and nine, 167 are due to accidents; of children be- tween the ages of ten and fourteen, 177 are due to accidents. In proportioh deaths due to accident among children under five years of age and among adults are quite’ small. No parents need to be told that - the most valuable possessions they have are their children. But it appears that there is a great need for some power to instill in the minds of civil authority the convic- tion that the most valuable-asset the state possesses is -its children.: Accidents do not “happén cause for every accident. Partieylarly is, this true of: traffic accidents, ‘which are assuming alarming proportions.. ;in.' the larger centers.'Of what-use - is-it te the municipality or the-state to spend-large, sums in educating a child'to gfow up to Be a good citizen if it pérmits hifh to be killed by an automobile before he becomes an economic factor in the community life? Cities and traffic' bureaus search madly for remedies for traffic accidents; “saftey weeks” are proposed, debated, held; new and more drastic traffic rules are formu- lated, and more or less. enforced; more severe pepalties are inflicted by judges for . driving recklessly, but the accidents con- tinue. . It would seem that the engineering brains which built the Panama Canal, took two million men to Europe in the face of submarines, and built ‘and-perfected-the largest railroad and telephone systems in ' the' - world might solve this problem too. ~But: while: this remedy is left i the hands -at-policemen-to formulate, no matter how terested or willing, or whilg-the-angwer o thie problem is given into the hands of dldermen, mayors, and leading.citizens, no matter_ how ‘well medning,; we will still = continue to kill our children. & . ‘Traffic accidents' to the young is 8 sub- ect of national concern, state concerm, city and town concern, of such gravity and magnititude that their prevention deserves the consideration of the very best minds in ‘the counry. f 3 $ HAROLD KNUTSON Harold ran, where his colleagues stum- bled—why?
