ROBERTS, | Meteorogolist. | i LESSONS FROM ITALY. | The allies are “rushing supplies” to, Italy. i In the meantime, presumably, the! Italians are getting along as best they | can without those supplies. Which! consist in what? For the time being, shells primarily, say the news dis- patches. But a number of months ago Italian statesmen indicated unless coal and food, as well as shells, were hurried to them, it would be impossible for General Cadorna’s brilliant activities on the I8onzo front to continue. Coal was particularly important, for with- out coal the wheels of Italian indus- try—munitions and other. factories— would necessarily stop turning. All thoseithings::an army. in the fleld is dependent upon were in turn dependent upon ‘the fuel situation. Is the apparent Italian collapse due to failure to hced those early appeals? Withstanding the fire of the German big guns with bayonets and fighting spirit is a bad business, as demon- strated previously in Russia and Ru-} mania. It can't be done. : And from all that can be gleaned} from carefully censored cablegrams this appears to be what General Ca- dorna is up against now. The allies are rushing supplies. Al- though the situation may still be saved, this would seem to be a poor time to be rushing anything—to Italy. The supplics should have been there long ago. The lesson for the allies is that ab- solute co-ordination among themselves is essential if the Germans are to be effectively checked at an early date. The lesson for America is that, more than ever, we must do our part. Also that, in doing our part, the in- dustrial factor is of prime importance. It is all very well to be sending troops to France in as rapidly increas- ing numbers as practicable. But at the same time, it must be remem- bered, the bulk of our limited shipping is still faced by the job of rendering impossible a repetition of what ap- Pears to be the real Italian disaster, not alone on the Italian, but on all other European fronts. THE KAISER Is PLEASED. The German government has just finished its seventh war loan cam- paign. The number of contributors is not made known, but the sum collect- ed is more than twelve Dillion marks. In ordinary times. this would exceed three billion dollars in our money. It is hard to tell just what the loan would be worth if used now to pur- chase supplies in the markets of the world. The German mark has stead- ily declined in value. It is probably no exaggeration to say that the loan is not worth more than one and a half billion dollars in real money— ifthat. The kaiser has just sent a telegram of congratulations to his finance min- ister. Té goes to show the fortunes of Wil- helm of the Hohenzollerns have fallen to the point where it does not take much to please him. He is thankful; for small favors. If he can’t make a deat in the British and French lines, |and acclaim it a notable victory. If | he can’t lay his hands on real money, | he will collect stage money from the | German people and announce it as a | financial triumph. | War loans in Germany amount to ! just much exchange of paper be- | tween the government and the people. The workmen and their employers are paid in pieces of government pa- per—Germany’s promises to pay. These papers are good for their face value in Germany—because people have to take them at that value. They are good for their face value nowhere else in the world. Even in the last year of our Civil war, when the surrender at Appoma- tox was in sight, the confederate peo- | ple could have floated millions of dol- lars’ worth of bonds, when there was ‘hardly a dollar of real money in the southern states. When the government announces a ; new loan the obedient German people 25| hand in their paper money—govern- | ment promises to pay—and take in re- turn government bonds——more prom- ii to pay. ‘Little, if any, real coin nvolved. The government apparently has made no provisions against the reck- oning in the future. No arrangement has been made for paying off part of the indebtedness by taxes or a sink- ing fund. The Prussian war makers were so sure they would conquer that they assured the money lords they would make the enemy pay Germany's debts. But the war has gone to the ’ point where all the German inner cir- ;| cles realize they cannot obtain indem- | nities anywhere. This means their finances are pyramided to a point un- usual in history. The day of reckoning will come. Even when peace reigns once more, | German promises to pay will be of little value outside of Germany. Cold- blooded bankers will see simply pieces of paper proffered by a nation head over heels in debt, which will be hard put to it to pay the interest, much ‘ They will want to} ; see the color of Germany's gold’ and | less the principal. silver. And if Germany complies it will not be long before the empire is completely drained of all its metallic currency. On the other hand, if it hoards its gold and silver, it. will largely bar itself from the marts of the world. The kaiser is entitled to all the pleasure he is able to extract from the present and future financial situation of his deluded people. SPEAKS OF GERMANY. Every once in ua while some dis- tinguished citizen of German ancestry, but naturalized as an American, speaks in burning: words that should be dinned into the ears of all, native- born or naturalized. Professor Max F. Meyer of the Uni- versity of Missouri, recently the re- cipient of an invitation to join one of the organizations with high sound- ing names whose real object is to par- alyze the fighting ‘arm of the Ameri- can government, in replying that the invitation was an insult, said: “Il am thoroughly familiar with the present organization of the German social body and with its culmination, the present German government. I am much more familiar. with it than any of your committee. I have lived in Gerniany 25 years. I was born there. I was educated there. I spent 19 years of my life in German educa- tional institutions from the kindergar- ten to the research laboratory.” Professor Meyer cites these things to show that he knows Germany not from the outside, but from the inside, as a land in which the military class is the governing class. Stating these facts, Professor Meyer then utters this solema warning to disloyalists in this country: “If Germany wins this war, 59 years hence its government will rule the American people. I do not want my American children to be put under this yoke, which I escaped by coming to America. My. hope is that the Ger- man government will be overthrown and that the German nation, my rela- tives and friends, will enter an inter- national ‘organization for. peace and justice. : “But the German government, this fearful danger to our future, can be overthrown only iby raising armies, not by .sitting around your council tables and working for the repeal of conscription laws.” Secretary Daniels has fired a red- hot address, to the doctors, against the double standard of morals. But hanged if we can see why the doctors should be especially picked on for that standard. A few warm words to the society mothers, Josephus! The “efficient” Germans seem to | hive trouble in bottling up Russia, j either on sea or land. The Slav sim- | ply won't stay corked up. Russia sure ; has the record for “get-aways” in | this war. ‘ | The first week in October the Brit- ish shipyards launched more new ton- nage than the U-boats sank in that | period. ‘The kaiser might let his sub- | Sects know this. But he won't. “Milkmen in a pool!” says a New York newspaper headline. Doggone “em! are they filling their cans, or he will grab a little Russian island just washing them? SCENE ROM FIRST ACTSOF “WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE” AT THE AUDITORIUM TONIGHT. x Saturday Evening Letter By Justice J. E. Robinson Grown-ups do not need to read this letter. It is on vaccination, grammar and composition. In former days when people were huddled together in small shacks with no ventilation, and when children were ill clothed and ill-fed, it was common for smallpox and other; infectious diseases to become epi- demic. The result was a furore for vaccination which occasionally breaks out and prevails long after the cause | has ceased. Kind nature is ever work- ing to guard against diseases of ani- mals and plants and so it is that a mild forni of any disease causes na- ture to fortify ag a more. virul- nallpox there must be con- which warrant it. There must cice of smallpox. It must not Le done to give some young doc- tor a chance to make money or to gratify the prevailing disposition of men to make others conform to their views. It must be the result of real or upparent and imminent nec The same is true against hydrophobia and, vac or treatment to prevent typhoid fever, diphtheria ant-other’such diseases. For thirty-five:years I have been-in North Lakota. and . have been over much of the state and have “never found or heard of illpox being pre- valent. I have not seen a case of smallpox. While at Grand Forks, Far- go and other cities a large number of people have ‘died from typhoid fever so that treatment to prevent typhoid fever secms far more necessary than treatment to prevent smallpox. In the early days of Fargo my children were excluded from the public schools because I would not allow them to be vaccinated, there being no real or ap- parent necessity for vaccination. I then thought and still think that the real purpose of the ‘vaccination was to put money into'thé’ pockets of certain persons—young‘doctots' on the school board—sure ‘anu’ ¢eftain'it was not for the love of God'Gr the!tove of the children. ‘In the future I may write an essay on this subject. In regard to grammar and composi- tion Jet us commence by noting some general rules or hints. When a sen- tence is well composed it is easily spoken and easily read. A sentence is not well composed when you can- not read it without an effort and then shut your eyes and repeat it. “A sentence is a unit of thought, an idea reduced toeits lowest terms. It may not be n ary that each sen- tence be anaylzed by strictly gram- matical rules, but it is essential that the reader should recognize, by study if necessary, the subject and-the predi- cate aglethe character and rank of the mduifiers of each.” In the construction of sentences be careful to bring the adverbs and ad- verbial phrases close to the verb which they modify. Be careful to bring the adjectives and adjective Phrases Close to the nouns which they modify. See that the verb or predi- cate agrees with, and closely follows its subject! Remember that conjunc- tives couple the*same modes and tenses of vervs and cases of nouns and pronouns. Lo not continuously jump from one mode and tense of the verb to another mode and tense. Re- member that the word “between” and every other preposition is followed by the objective case of nouns or pro- nouns. Then you will not say “be- tween he and I or between him and 1.” Goldsmith once said to Samuel Johnson: “Doctor, if you were to write a fable about little fishes you would make them talk like whaics. And so it is with some of our judges. They seem to pride themselves on writing whale decisions and whale sentences. ‘Here are four such sen- tences copied from a recent decision by one of our jadge: (for reference we number them 1, and 4.) Please read each sentence and then shut your eyes and try to repeat it. 1. “The fourth assignment of error, relating to the failure of the court to instruct the jury that the fact that plaintiff had been held to answer the charge of the criminal action in dis- trict court after a preliminary hearing before a justice of the peace was prima facie evidence of the guilt of the plaintiff, is also without merit. It does not appear that the defendant re- quested any such instruction, and non direction, unless it amounts to misdi- rection, in a matter of law in a civil case is not reversidle error.” 2. “If defendant had desired any instruction, all he needed to do was to call the matter to the attention of the court, or prepare a written instruction himself upon the subject on which he desired the instruction of law by the court, and present it to the court and request the court to give such instruc- tion.” 3. “If the court refused to give such instruction and it was an in- struction, which could or might have been vroperly given, or if the failure to give it in any way materially ad- real or imminent danger of} | versely affected defendant’s cause, the defendant could ‘then present to this court the failure of the court below to “give such instruction. as a ground for reversible error.” Ys 4. “Otherwise, if the court fails to explain or expound the law to the jury relating to some of the subject-matter of the action and the defendant makes no request for instructions upon such subject, the defendant is not in posi- tion to complain, and cannot after- wards in the appellate court. success- fully contend that the failure of the trial court to give such instruction is eversivle error.” | (164 N. W. Rep. 132.) 5 The last sentence contains sixty-six words. {t is complex and compound and ill constructed. Please read it in this way and note well the difference. ; 4, Otherwise, when the court fails; to state to the ju¥y the law of the case. and counsel makes no reques. for instructions on any subject, he is; not inva position to complain. And| afterwards in the appelate court he; -| cannot successfully contend that such failure to instruct is reversible error. In the first ef the above whale sen- tences you may, note the ‘subject and the predicate are ‘séparated by’ fitty words. Bring them ‘together and‘ read thus: The fourth agsigament of error so without merit. It relates to the failure of the court to instruc: the jury, etc. Jn the ‘ond sentence there is a words: “of the court,” “by the court,” “to the court,” “retjudst the’ court,” and the word “instrdétion” is used ! threo times. fir : In the third senterice the word “in- ‘ struction” is used three. times and ‘the word “court” three tinies and the | words: “could or might)’ are used i: lieu of the word “ought.” We may reduce the four sentences to this form: Plaintiff assigns error on the failure: of the court'td instruct the jury, though he failsto’ request any instruction. The rule! '{y thit where counsel desires a spécial instruction it is for him'to prepare it and request the court to give it. If ® is proper and material, the failuré of the court to give it is reversiole error but with- out a special request such failure is not reversible error. Consider the following sentences with a view to clearness and sim- phecity of expression: ‘This was Hiawatha’s wooing, ‘Thus it was he won the daughter Of the ancient Arrow-maker In the land of the Dacotahs. Dear Nea, let us roam no more Along that lonely distant shore Where late we thoughtless strayed; ‘Twas not for us whom heaven in. tends. ‘9 be no more than simple friends Such lonely walks were made. In the Bible we find the best il- lustrations of lucid, simple sentences: From the beginning to the end of the book.there is not a long winding or complicated sentence: In the begin- ning God created the heavens and the earth, And the earth was without form and void. And darkness was upon the face of the deep. And God said, let there be light on there was light, and God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. ee" | STATE CAPITOL NOTES | — TO RESUME RALLIES— Rural school rallies will be conduct- ed by the state superintendent of pub- lic instruction beginning Monday in McHenry, Pierce, Benson, Ramsey, Nelson, McLean, Ward, Mountrail, Williams and McKenzie counties.
