It proved a fail- ure, in, the’ recent mobilization along the, | Mexican border. A call for 500,000 volunteers has been unan- swered, lo these many weeks, yet the| blatant congressmen ‘stand wp and declare that the system has never been given a fair trial. ‘Lieutenant General Bridges, a member of the British war mission, in a recent interview said that the volunteer system has cost the lives of the most valuable citizens and crippled industrial mobilization. agitation against selective ays deliberate conspiracy to Aeaatiee a-nation through sentimen- tal and mawkish appeals. This na- tion still harbors an active pro-Ger- man alliance well supplied with cash and hirelings who are making the most of their sordid publicity. Some one is paying the bill. It is time the government was empowered to curtail all propaganda which has for its object the retarding of enlist- ment. The nation is at war, but even in the face of this condition millions are being spent to lull the masses in- to a realization that this is to be solely a battle of silver bullets, a war in which the only sinews demanded is money. Each mail brings to newspaper of- fices, circulars opposing President Wilson’s policy of conscription which ig imperative as a means of national defense. “Four Lights” is the title of the lat- est peace pamphlet to reach the edi- tor’s desk. Its opening lines are typ- ical of tons of this literature mailed daily to assist the German case: “No order of a President or a Gov- ernor will persuade me or force me to this business of killing.” Senator Gronna furnishes this “thunder” for the Women’s Peace Party: “Let me remind the Senate that we are not the government, let me re- mind you that Congress is not the government; let me remind you that the President of the United States is not the government, but the 100,000,000 of people are the sover- eign power of this country. Why do we refuse to submit for their deci- sion a question so important to the future welfare of our people? Why do we ignore their petitions, which we have by the hundreds of thou- sands, asking us to avert war? The European countries are today regret- ting that they precipitated a war. Their people are sick to death and are wishing that they could find a way to end it. Selfishness was) thé’ Cause of beginning this cruel, -blopdy war in Europe; false national: pride prevents the ending of it.” ? The Women’s Peace Party frankly admits that its battle against war has been lost and it as frankly admits it wil! do all in its power to render, the nation helpless “in this crisis. “‘freason is too mild a term for such sentiments. Henry Neumann, a name strangely. “Teutonic, is one of the contributors ‘ing about the capitol and sending its | representatives Compulsory service means compul- | sory democrac; ANTI-AMERICAN.

It wants to be heard as to the provl- ‘sions of the anti-spy pills. i If congress is going to listen to the| representatives of this anti-American | organization, why should it not ask the kaiser’s advice also?

A WOMAN'S PART. | Women can enlist as yoemen. They can volunteer for hospital serv: | ice. They can help raise funds, they can make bandages, They can drive ambulances and trucks. They can get close to war in many capacities, but the vast majority of women can take no close active part, Dr, Har- vey Wiley, America’s famous food ex- pert, says that the biggest war work in which the women of America can| engage at this moment is to “demand whole wheat flour.” He adds that| for every American who shoulders a rifle, there should be two to join the agricultural army; that we must choose war bread now or bread tici- ets later on. There is no question but whole wheat bread is healthier than the white. The flours are about alike, as| to price. But in turning wheat into flour the millers discard 28 per cent of the wheat. Over a quarter of the wheat crop is lost as human food} simply because American women de- {mand flour as white as possible; in other words, if the women demand of their grocers whole wheat instead | of white flour, they will save to this country between 80,000,000 and 90,- 000,000 bushels of wheat. One of the big parts that Uncle Sam is to play in the war is that of! provider of food.

In response to the state auditor's request for an opinion, Attorney Gen- eral Langer today held that counties which have accepted responsibility for insane patients at the state hos- pital and which after paying for their care a number of years abruptly dis- cover they are not responsible, can- not subtract from current dues the nlire amount of money which they ave paid the state for the care of these wards, If a recovery Is to be made, the attorney general rules, 12 must be through due legal proces: The opinion probaly will result in re- licving a considerable drain on the fund for the care of patients charged directly to the state, x WHEAT \IELD HIGH, North Dakota's average wheat yield is 12.68 bushels per acre for the last five years, according to interest- cs prepared by R. H. aite of. the state commis- oner of agriculture’s office. rage yield for the last five years 31.32 bushels; barley, 23.38 bush- bushels, and flax, 9.08 bushels. The highest yields of each ‘ain and the lowest for the five-year period are: \. aeat, 18,02, 1915; 5.5,} 1916; oats, 41.4, 1912; 21.5 1916; bar-; ley, 32, 1915; 15.5, 1916; rye, 18, 1912; 12.8, 1916; bax, 10.8, 1916, 7.2, 1913. The yield in all grains except flax a decided falling off in 1916 x h materially reduced the years average. * * EMERGENCY WAS GOOD. Dunseith sanitarium is to nave its 000 emergency appropriation. This appropriation was provided for| in H. B. 218. The emergency clause passed both houses by proper major- ities, but the engrossing clerk failed to have ‘the clause atiached to the engrossed copy filed with tne secre- tary of state, and this clause does not appear with the act as published in the popular edition of the session laws, The attorney geenrai was ap- pealed to for an opinion, and Assist- —-|ant Attorney General Brennan today holds that the absence of the emer- gency on the engrossed copy is pure- ly a clerical error which .should not deprive the sanitarium of funds for iate need. The journais of both houses show the emergency clause passed in due form, and the opinion holds that the state auditor may treat H. B, 218 as if the emergency clause attached had been properly engrossed and certified. rer) DICKINSON RATE LOW. Dickinson enjoys an exceptionally low death rate, according to statis- tics furnished by Dr. C. J. MoGur- health, covering ‘North Dakota's. 1916 Mortality experience. Dickinson. most healthful of all Flickertail cit- ies, is given a death rate of six per- icent; (Fargo, ten; Minot, eleven; Mandan, .twelve, and Dickinson six- teen. The board of health’s staisti- cian has evidently based Bismarck’s death rate on the 1910 census; as he gives the city a rate of fourteen per- cent, while, based on the actual num- ber of deaths reported and a popula: tion of 7,500, as given by the last di- rectory census, the date is but 12.4 percent. Ten of the deaths reported to the secretary of the state board as .| Tesident, and upon which his percent- ing away. to skirling fife and. drum, id me age was based, Screed in Eureike: i Governor Selects Prominent Citi- lager J.

Roosevelt was re-elected president in 1904, signalizing his second term by bringing about peace between Ja- pan and Russia. He selected his successor, Taft, chosen in 1908, Taft's abandonment of progressive policies brought the insurgents into fame, and in 1912 Kocsevelt, beaten in the repuslican convention, led his third party, the progressives, in a three-cornered elec- tion in which Wilson, democrat, was elected. Wilson’s first term was followed by a popular endorsement in the elec. tion of 1916. é Wilson’s incumbency has beer marked by various interventions in Mexico and the minor Latin repub lics of the Caribbean, THE END.
