(Established 1873) ERD A BIG MAN WITH A BIG MESSAGE Bismarck is fortunate in being offered an oppor- tunity to hear Dan Reed, who comes here Februar 25, under the auspices of the American food ad- ministration to talk conservation at the auditorium, Dan Reed is a lawyer by profession and -w-com- munity developer by choice. He spent a number of years with the American City Bureau, which deals with community and municipal problems, and in this connection he assisted with the organiz tion or reorganization of some of Ameri a's foremost cham- bers of commerce and commercial associations. He is at present secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Flint, Mich., one of the big automobile manufac- turing centers of the world. Having but recently returned from Europe, where he went as a represen- tative of the United States food administration, he is expected to have a message worth while. Dan Reed, himself, is a big man, physically and in every other dimension. He is one of America’ greatest football enthusiasts. As an undergraduate at Cornell he starred on the gridiron, and as an alumnus he has returned to the university cach fall to give his service to his alma mater‘as football coach. He has aided in turning out some great teams. Reed made good in law, fighting through as city attorney for Syracuse some very very important public utility litigation. He has made good in com- munity development and in commercial elub wor! He is today secretary of the most energetic chamber of commerce in the middle west in that Michigan wonder-city which has sprung up Aladdin-like at the call of the automoble. A few years ago the writer had the privilege of hearing Dan Reed address 300 big mining men and high salaried exccutives’at a commercial club ban- quet held in one of the nation’s great metal camps. It was the first ‘‘dry’’ banquet in thg history of that region, and doubts had been expressed as to the abil- ity of any speaker to make up for the inspiration which had flown so freely at former banquets. Dan Reed did it. His address was lengthy, but to the very last word not one of those 300 banqueters sti red:or lost interest. He had in his audience several “$100,000-the-year’’? men, big men, controlling the labor of tens of thousands of men and millions of dollars’ worth of property, and he held them with a commonplace topic which they had heard diseussed time and time and again—‘Community Develop- ment.”” Reed is coming to Bismarek with the livest topic of the age. He deserves, and undoubtedly will get, the biggest audience which has filled the auditorium in many a year. TO PUT DOWN RUTHLESSNESS Just one year ago, Germany declared ruthless warfare by her U-boats. She announced that inter- national law and the common rights of all the peo- ples of the world were abolished. She drew a line about certain regions of the high and threat- ened to slay all peaceful, as well as ring peoples eaught therein. It was a plain declaration of barbarism, and, as such, warranted the armed resistance of the whole world. Whoever started the war, whatever started it, that declaration justified any nation on earth that had the courage to do it in warring on Germany. The United States waited. It admired the Ger- man people for their industry and their contribution to progress in the arts and sciences. It had long enjoyed the advantages of enormous and amicable trade with them. It was inconceivable that Ger- many would carry out so brutal a. threat. Our coun- try was unprepared and knew the frightful cost of war. The Lusitania had been sunk, our government had been repeatedly outraged, deceived and con- spired against by the Teutonic autocracy at home and abroad, but still it was impossible to believe that a great nation had deliberately adopted barbarism as a national policy That fact, however, was soon demonstrated. The U-boats mercilessly destroyed passenger ships, hospital ships and the trade ships of almost every nation having such. It was barbarism rampant, indiscriminate and foul. It attacked the lives, property, rights and happiness of all peoples not a party to it. To neglect to put it down was to consent to world-enslavement, to agree to the vile, fallacious axiom that might alone is right. It brought on war with Germany. It was enough, even had we not the slightest vision of a world made better by more of democracy. _ Ukrainia occupies part of Poland, Courland-and Lithuania. If she has gven them up to the Germans, no wonder the Bolsheviki are mad. Makes every- body else mad. ‘Having got the railroads on an estimate that they required a half billion’s worth of improves ments, McAdoo wants twice or’ three times that money. It’s the usual performance of estimates, * The Cleveland Press knitting contest shows the women are better knitters than the men. Yet there are men who would deny the women a vote.

A majority of North Dakota producers do not feel justified in | accumulating huge reser for which they may find no market until next fall. And lignite, when ex- posed to sun and wind and weather deteriorates just. as rapidly as bituminous does. For this reason, unless immediate guaranty of present or future distribution is given, many North | Dakota lignite mines will, without any instructions from Fuel Administrator Garfield, begin to observe | workless days and workless weeks. The forces of i skilled work whieh they have built up will begin | | to disintegrate, and the Dakota lignite fields will not | | be in position to de their best bit for Unele Sam in | this war.

Whatever one may think of the Bolsheviki they, must at least be given credit for having presented to) the world during the last few weeks a clear demon- stration of the way in which the doctrines of the I. W.

The} oft-repeated assertion that the social revolution | stands for justice, liberty and fraternity becomes the justification for a ghastly carnival of massacre and pillage. A demoralized and broken nation, un- able either to wage war or to make peace, unable} even to prevent anarchy and starvation within the confines of its own capital, a land false to its allies and despised by its enemies—that is the situation in} which poor Russia finds herself after a few months | of government according to the tenets of the Berk-! man-Haywood-Goldman propaganda. Surely’ this’ sorry spectacle, the hideous details} of which have not yet been published to the world, | should afford a timely warning to those social work- ers, philanthropists and economic reformers in this country. whose humanitarian tendencies have ‘some- times led them to more than a distinct sympathy with the professed ideals of an organization which aims at a social revolution in America. Now we know that the words, ‘‘No God, no master,’’ imply. Translated into cold facts they mean no national honor, no freedom of speech or opinion, no security for any man’s life or possessions, nothing but a re- version to semi-savagery—Boston Herald. . | movement. ‘Manning, j i . company.
