POSH OOOH Oded Hatred is like fire—it makes < eve. light rubbish deadly.—Eliot. OFFS E9OS HOF AN AMERICAN JOB. Many a house of cards has been tumbiod, many a rosy dream dis- pelled, by the disquieting news from ‘Tialy. Apparently the Austrian armies, Greatly strengthened by Gernian army corps and unilimited Germany artil- lery and shells,'are blasting their way at will through the Italian lines. The Teutons ‘have taken in less than @ week what; the Jtalians acquired by hard and persistent fighting for over two years. The story of the Russian debacle on the Duvajec river is being repeated. When the Russians were apparently at the apex of their power, they sud- denly found themselves short of am- munition. They had expended all their shells and could turn nowhere to get more. Thanks to their spy sys- tem, the Germans knew the exact mo- ment when this condition existed and took instant advantage of it. So with what is happening on the Isonzo. General Cadorna had made spleidid advances into Austrian ter- ritery. He had defeated the Tentons in the most difficult mountain terri- tory in all Europe. And all the time he was busy, Italy was sending out to her allies an urgent and never- cersing call for help in the way of shells, steel and coal. . ‘he appeal very largely fell upon deaf ears and the Germans knew it. The time came when the Italian army had few shells and the Germans knew it. With Rumania prostrate, with Rus- ‘ain (In a position where the kaiser could: view the once great Slav power with, contempt, it was possible to Gather up great reserves of men and munitions and mass them for this stupendous drive upon Italy. Whether the present onslaught: is stopped or goes on, it has a tremend- ous and significant lesson for us as Americans. Despite the fact that we have given money to our governinent for, war purposes on a scale hitherto unknown in history, we have not fully realized that we are in this war. There has lurked in the minds of most of us the ‘hope or the belief that some miracle would happen, and that Germany’s power for evil in the world would suddenly crumble away. ~The Italian news, bad as it is, glcomy as it is, will in another way Prove a fortunate thing. It will open the eyes of Americans to the task before them. Jt is the sternest task in the world. It is the most difficult in’ history. It is nothing less than the Herculean job of defeating the military power of the Teuton nations. Whst those nations have been able to do in Italy is proof positive that ‘ey still possess great resources. They have men. They have arms. They have shells. They have well equipped military leaders. And what is just-as important, the victories Mackensen has just achieved, | tons everywhere will perk up with the news that their armies have cap- tured countless numbers of Italian foe- men and hundreds of their precious heavy cannon. It is this re-heartened foe that our troops will have to meet. The test is going to come in the next year or so. All we have of bravery, of en- durance, of resources, of military and industrial ingenuity is going to be required. In brief, the jo» of finally defeating the kaiser and all the evils for: whici he stands is going to be very largely an American job. VASSAR GIRLS MAKE GOOD. In times past girls went to Vassar college to acquire class pennants, “high brow” ideas and degrees. They devoted their vacations to good times. Now, it seems, they go to accomp: lish something worth while, and their vacations are given up to better pur- poses. For instance—those 12 Vassar girls who spent last summer on a big farm, doing work hitherto done by men and doing it fully as well. Thereby they released men for war service. ‘These girls, who have just returned to school, cultivated 800 acres, doing everything from plowing to harvest- ing of crops. They did more than farm men usually are content with, for they canned much of the crops they grew—16,000 quarts of tomatoes, 750 quarts of asparagus, 1,000 quarts of strawberries, hundreds of jars each of beans, peas, corn and other vege- tables. : The sum total of their farming ef- forts, measured in grain, vegetables, fodder and fruit, will feed 1,50) per- sons all winter and 200 head of live- stock until next year’s crops are ripe. Can-you think of any other achieve- ment of college girls the past summer more worthy of the first medal of honor? SACRIFICE IF NEEDS BE. In his recent messages on food con- servation and the liberty bonds, Pres- ident Wilson spoke of individual sac- rifices. The folks have conserved food as never before and have easily over- subscribed to a lot of bonds, but, if the whole truth were told, it would probably appear that the popular sur- plus hag only just been nibbled at and that there has really been mighty lit- tle sacrificing. There has, doubtless, been some individual sacrifice, but a people whose national debt, in war times, is less than four per cent of its resources does not shine as an example of general sacrifice. Germany, preparing for 3 hard win- ter, is limiting the manufacture of leather footwear to footwear for sol- diers and others directly connected with war work, and warning the gen- eral populace that .{t must get along with cloth or wooden shoes. Turnips must be one of the mainstays of the German diet, and women’s dresses must. be made shorter and tighter to economize in material.‘ Americans are asked ‘to eat no meat one day of each week, while the ordinary German doesn’t get enough meat in a week to respectably bait a hook for starving fish. Wooden shoes on Americans? Not while ladies’ $12 and men’s $7 leathers are going as now. Shorter, tighter dresses to conserve American material? The sentiment that has moved our people, thus far, Mr. President, is pure patriotism, with little of the fea- ture of pinch and sacrifice in it. Some luxuries and some follies in eating have been given up and some latent money has been brought out into the sunlight, both of which movements are really of the nature of substan- tial improvements. We are a long ways from wooden shoes and turnips, and we propose to so fight and buy bonds that our sacrifice will stop far short of such things. SHORT ON ESSENTIALS, Addressing us as “a friend of lib- erty,” the socialist party of New York city has sent in a beautiful circular, containing an invitation to subscribe to a $100,000 fund for the election of Morris Hillquit to the mayoralty, as “a compelling demonstration of democ- racy and peace.” We plead guilty to being a friend of liberty and to feeling complimented ‘by the insinuation that we have any important part of $100,000, but we can- not accept the invitation, for two rea- sons. First, every cent we can scrape up is engaged for liberty bonds. We're such a red hot friend of liberty that we want everybody in the world to have some of it. Second, we are not for democracy and peace, at this writ- ing, but for democracy and war. In short, we've neither the cash nor the Hillquit vision. Still, we have some advice that Mr. Hillquit can have. It is that he should not rely much on folks who have neither the cash nor the vision. Charley Brickley spent four years at Harvard learning how to kick. Now, having married a New York girl, he finds his education wasted. Americans haven’t had much time for interest in municipal elections will give the Germans once more a morale they had been losing. ‘Teu-| the kaiser. since Uncle Sam was elected to whip map shows how completely Germany's given.

D., Nov. 5—Old and new settlers from all sections of Me-| .{ Lean county assembled at the new) court house Saturday, when exercises | were conducted in dedication of the new, handsome, $70,000 building and in: celebration of the thirty-fourth year of the organization of the county. Scores arrived by train, but the ma-; jority drove in in automobiles, the distances varying from 10 to 50 miles. It was a gala day for Washburn. Flags . ness and the town band played stirring selections, as the visitors marched Among those from Bismarck at the celebration were: Judge and Mrs. A. A. Bruce and niece, Judge W. L. Nuessle, Senator and Mrs. C. W. Mc- Gray, Mr. and Mrs. John Reuter, Gen- eral A, E. Williams, ‘Louis Larson and A.C. Hinckley. The morning session was given over to dedicatory exercises. Judge W. L. Nneasle presided and introduced the { speakers. The opening number was | “Onward, Christian Soldiers” by a ‘| Qusacee of giris, rained by Miss Lulu Satterlund. This was followed by the invocation delivered by Rev. G. W. Stewart of Wilton. The glee club again marched onto the platform and sang “Keep the Home Fires Burn- ing.” Williams in Opener. State’s Attorney John.E. Williams of Washburn gave the opening ad- dress, in which he outlined the growth of the county since its organization. He showed that whereas at the begin- ning the financial condition of the county was shaky it had now reached a most substantial status. The new court house has been built without any indebtedness devolving upon the county; the fund for its building com- ing entirely from penalties collected on taxes. He also pointed out that the county otherwise is in a most flourishing condition financially and makes a showing that none other in the state could equal. He declared that the county now has 550 miles of ‘graded roads, and with aid to come jfrom the federal and state govern- ments there will be money available | to extend road improvement and keep up excellent maintenance, by being graveled. » M. E. McCurdy, superintendent of schools, gave some interesting statis tics of educational work in the coun: ty.. While five years ago there was not.a single, classified school in the county now there are several, with a total enrollment last year of 255 boys and girls, He urged upon the rising generation to keep up the excellent work started by John Satterlund and others of the early settlers. Judge Nuéssle, in a brief address introducing Chief Justice Andrew A Bruce of Bismarck, pointed out the great importance of the occasion in dedicating the new: building and the source of pride it. should’ be to all people within the county. Bruce Speaks. Justice Bruce delivered the chiet address. ‘ He paid a glowing tribute tc the pioneer men and women, who en | dured hardships and trials for the sake of their ideals. They have come to this land to give their children such opportunities they themselves hac never been able to obtain. He depict ed in graphic language the struggle: of peoples’ for religious liberty and political freedom. “We are at war today with Ger many,” he declared, “not because of any hostility against the German peo ple—the great mass of German people are heroic soula—but because we are against their government. We are fighting for the same principles that George Washington sought against the English government. That gov ernment then was false to the tradi tions of the freedom-loving Englist people. (Wealth in comparison wit spirit is a small thing,” he said. “Prob lems of production have been largely solved, but those of government have not, and it is because of a desire tc help the Russian people in that re spect that the United States is will ing to send millions of soldiers over to Europe to help win the fight.

Aid M’Lean County in Big Event Dedication of new Court House and Celebration of 34th Anniver- Occasion for Sister County to North—Bismarck and Burleigh County Men on Program and Among Guests of the Day—Review of Past Performances is oT a country governed by law and not by man,” asserted Justice Bruce. The laws have not been made by the legislatures, but in reality by the courts, which in turn have been influenced in their decisions by. pub- lic sentiment and custom. But he at- tacked most vehemently a condition in this country whereby a judge may ‘be afraid of rendering a decision on a constitutional question, which might not meet with popular favor. So he believes that the great danger of & decorated the leading places of busi-| free government is where the people fail to learn the truth about things, and he asserted that in many cases from the down town district to the|the people haye been..given. false in- new, building on the hill. formation on important questions. He cited the capitol commission’s case as an instance, telling that the people would not have failed to return Judge Fish to the bench if they had known the facts in the case. “The great problem of the Ameri- can government,” he said, “is the dis- semination of the truth.” Justice Bruce paid high tribute to the system of trial by jury and attrib- uted to that and the advantages of American peoplé to govern them- selves. “it is comradeship, after all” he as- serted, “that make a people. Over in Europe people have been waging war with each other for centuries, while over here the same people are sitting side by side together and building up a cosmopolitan nation.” General A. E. Williams of Bismarck presided at the old settlers’ meeting in the afternoon, in honor of the. thir- ty-fourth birthday anniversary of the organization of McLean county. He was introduced as chairman by Major George L. Robinson. General Williams introduced the bill at the territorial legislature of Yankton, which created McLean coun- ty, and he gave credit for such crea- tion principally to John Satterlund. He said that.the efforts of the early legis- lators were principally confined to ap- dealing to congress to graat lands to railroads for extension work, the wuilding of military post roads. [t was purely constructive legislation and not regulative, as now. : et John S. Veeder, now a‘condagten a1 the Northern Facific in Montana, told of the early days when he came here and took up a elaim, on which a great dart of the city of Washburn now 3tands.

North Da- ota is not patriotic and he declared hat the common people in the state ire doing all they can to help the government win the war. “We will al- vays stand by the government,” he said. sacra Judge G. P. Gibson of Washburn as- 3erted that it is the duty of the pres- ant generation to continue’ the ‘splen- lid work begun by the pioneers. The only regret he expressed about the aew court house is that it lacks ‘in ae modern: ‘improvement—a mort- sage. Senator C. W. McGray of Under. wood said that there is no Yetter state n the union which offers a chance for | he poor man and he expressed the ut- nost confidence that McLean county vould give all it possibly could in men nd money in the effort of the United 3tates to “make the world safe for femocracy.” Senator Aug. E. Johnson of Wash- burn read a well prepared paper, full of inspiration, and paid a. high ‘trib- tte to those who had coatributed ands and mind to the construction of the new courthouse. Others who spoke were Anton Pe- erson of Wushburn, former county :ommissioner; Charles Huston of Tur- le Lake, John Reuter of Lismarck ind Representative James Rice of Mercer. * Chief Justice Bruce delivered anoth- or. forceful address, at the close of he afternoon session.
