THE, STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER. (Established 1873) <i “OVER THE TOP” EVERY DAY We wish to turn our thoughts to as brave a lot of little soldiers as ever ‘‘went over the top.” We want to lay a sincere tribute of high regard at the fect of the “little merchants of the strect —the newsboys. For several weeks this city has been held firmly in the bitter b of a most severe winter, Thon- sands of persons scarcely left their homes at all. Those who were compelled to be on the streets never tarried a moment longer than necessary. With a temperature standing at zero frequently and with biting winds chilling one to the very marrow, there was ‘‘no place like home,’’ And even home was often uncomfortable with coal scarce and coal cellars nearly empty.. And during all this weather, through streets often knee deep in snow, with ice underfoot and the wind often blowing a blizzard, street newsboys and route carriers stuck bravely to their task of serving jointly the newspapers and the reading public. Every morning, long before 99 per cent of the people had Jeft their beds, the newsboy began his long trudge through the winter darkness, And ¢ evening, while other people were looking forw, to long hours of cozy comfort in front of the home fires, the newsboy went bravely ou his way, doing patiently and co ntioush work. “Never faltering, never complaining, these manly, boys went through with what they had set themselves to do. It is of such boys that the suce future are le. It is just as true today as it was in the day it was first spoken: “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.”” Thus the ‘little soldiers’? who so valiantly defied the hardships of their work during this terrible win- ter and so successfully performed their important duty have Iuilded- for. themselves a character ‘of faithful dependence which will stand them in good stead in that not far distant day when they lay aside their boyhood and come into man’s estate. This paper takes off its hat to the newsboys and earriers—in and out of the city. ‘TROTZKY, HIS VIEW If Trotzky’s purpose is honestly and reliably set forth in his book, ‘The Bolsheviki and World Peace,’’ the Amercian public, generally speaking, has the wrong view of the man and his aims. According to Author Trotzky, the erux of Bolsheviki doctrine is ‘The industries for the work- ingmen; the land for the peasants,’ and it must be admitted that there is a whole lot of thought along that line in America and not a little attempted, though perhaps indirect, legislation, We have, at least, got as far as government regulation sof the wages, hours, working conditions and ages of the working classes. We, at least, have acknowleaged the viciousness of large land holding and the injus- tice of our system of taxing lands. But, if Tro: is misunderstood by us, he is equally mistaken in us, since he proclaims that our purpose in this war is but to supplant imperial capi- talism of our own, Trotzky’s American experience was confined to the lowest stratum of the metropolis and, naturally, he got no view of Aiw ssful men of the Capitalism all over the world is getting the! serews put to it. Iu Great Britain and Mrance war taxation, alone, bids fair to eliminate capitalism as a governmental power or dominating influence. In our own country, government has taken over, bodily, the greatest industry on carth—the American rail- roads. It is a death-blow to political domination of a very strong element of capitalism. Our govern ment. holds the banks in one hand and runs them with the other: It has begun to put war cost and peace cost on the shoulders best able to carry the burden. To complete this labor is harder in America than in other countries, for the simple reason that in America the average of content is highest. We're slow about overturning the autocracy of capitalism, but steady. Every move we've made in this war has been a blow upon the shackles that capita Editor | it will be his part in the world’s | / ing’’—the kultural kind—the kind poor Belgium} knew, and now knows?

In that connection let’s review a few facts. We must Increase our food erop production or lose the war. There is a shortage of skilled farm labor. After we have applied most effectively all the experienced farm help that is available and after we give to high school boys courses in farm work, by classes this winter and training camps néxt spring, there ‘will continue to be a shortage of experienced farm help Inevitably, then, we must use some unskilled farm labor or fail to increase our food production, And failing to increase food production may mean losing] the war.

He appeals on the ground that at the time of com- mitting the deed he was insane, There is no doubt defendant was gifity of » cruel and unprovoked shooting and killing, He was twenty years old and for years he and his parents had lived on a farm in Stutsman county, a few miles from the Hins, a German family The two families visited together and cizing him editorially. They no longer printed his picture. Jn short, they ignored him altogether, And the man, ignored by the press, found his power dwindled into nothingness; the notori ty upon which he had fed, and which caused him to defy pub- lie opinion, died with the cessation of the appearance of his name in print. He became as one who was not, Though an entertaining story, Cobb’s ‘“Thunders of Silence” is more than that, as it doubtless was intended to be by its author. It leads one to wonder what would become of such men as LaFollette and Stone if the newspapers ceased to mention them? Coming nearer home, what would become of William C. Rempfer of Parkston if the newspapers of South i akota, and of nearby towns in other states, ceased to mention his caperings in behalf of the People’s Council for Demoeracy and Terms of Peace?
