(Established 1873) <i THE PRICE “America,” the melting pot’—much had been written about that pot, and then the war. And when the war came we found our admirable pot not so admirable; somehow or other the cru- cible had failed to work. Nor was it the fault wholly of the newcomer from Europe. Largely it was the fault of those whose fath- ers had fought to preserve the union and whose forefathers had fought to establish it. The pot was here all right, but those who for generations had boasted themselves Americans had failed to build a fire under it. Instead they had builded each his own selfish fire. Love of the common country, the cherishing and developing of the principles and ideals for which historically Amer- ica stands, were out of fashion. What could the newcomer learn of our ideals when we ourselves had forgotten them? : And now, after a year of war with the might- iest power hell has ever raised up for the chal- lenging of human freedom, what still is lacking in America? This is the beginning—A UNIFIED SOUL! The blame is not with you, not with the indi- vidual... The blame is with us; we have not achieved a unified soul. And until we do achieve a unified soul, the victory will not be ours. Here, then, is a thing of great price. And like every other thing of great price it‘can be pur- chased only at great cost. And because it is an indispensible, not only with man, but with God, it must be bought, no matter how great the cost. America must pay. Easy it is to say this; diffi- cult it is to realize how literal is the saying’s truth. And yet not so difficult. We stand in reverent awe of the morale of France. Pause and consider the cost France has paid and is paying for her jewel of great price, her national soul. The world is one. Do not fancy there is any special exemp- tion reserved for America.’ Pay cheerfully—with faith that the object bought will make America, wholly beyond our old-time dreams, the world’s melting pot. The nearer U-boats bring the war to Amer- ican shores, the greater the effort to strengthen America’s fighting arm in France. PRETTY SAFE MAN, EH? The Italians—influenced by devil-made rum- ors—were still retreating before their German- Austrian “kamerads.” Then British and French troops poured into Italy, commanded by Foch. At once the Italians began to make some sort of a stand. An Italian boy soldier loaded down with a heavy bag of supplies was climbing a steep path. No horse or automobile could make it; every- thing must go on men’s backs. The young Italian was very tired. The load was too much for him, but he kept plugging ahead. He heard footsteps. A brisk old man dressed in the horizon blue of France came up beside him. “Pretty heavy load for you, son,” said the old Frenchman, speaking Italian. “Oui, m’sieu,” agreed the son of Italy, speak- ing French to be courteous. “Let me give you a hand,” said the old French soldier, and he seized the heavy bag and threw it over his own shoulders, and the sons of the two old Latin nations kept climbing. After a time the man in horizon blue said, “Let’s rest a minute,” and they sat down beside the path. Soon some Italian general staff officers ap- peared—one of them being on the king’s per- sonal staff. Of course the two soldiers by the roadside came to their feet to salute the high offi- cers. But the Italians officers stopped. The one who belonged to the king’s personal staff ejacu- lated one word: FOCH!” | That’s who it was—Foch, “Le Patron,” which is French for the “big boss.” _ He had been caught acting like a common human being. But it didn’t feaze him. He didn’t ian high officers--stiffly, threw the bag on his beside him protesting volubly, those two started up the path again. Pretty safe sort of a man, Foch, eh? Pretty good sort to have in charge of our boys who go “over there.” “THEY’RE TOO YOUNG” He was speaking about the young men just called upon to register for service Over There, our boys who have passed their twenty-first birth- day since their older brothers registered for the same high purpose last June. And this is what the man said: “They’re too young. They’re just boys. First thing, boys under 21 will be called.” It wasn’t that he was opposed to conscripting men for war service, for he went on to say that it would be better if men over 31 were taken. He hadn’t looked at it from the right angle, that’s all. He hadn’t stopped to think that— ' Boys of 21 usually have fewer dependents than men over 31. : That they seldom are as firmly fixed in their life occupation. ‘That they are healthier, can better stand hardships and therefore it is more probable that they will return after they have done their bit. Boys, more than men, crave the excitement of adventure, and find it most abundantly and most gloriously Ovcer There. . This is not the first time that boys have gone to war. Indeed our other wars saw more youthful faces in the ranks, mere children, who today, would ‘never get by the recruiting officer. Official records of the United States war depart- ment show that 2,159,798 boys under 22 years of age fought in the northern army alone during the Civil war. Over 800,000 of these blue-uni- formed warriors were 16 ‘and under, and over a million were 18 and under. The boys in their teens fought bravely then, and—if they are needed today—boys as young will fight as courageously. Put not off until the last day allotted you that matter of hunting a war-work job.

Gaines, yet in justice we will point out some injustices done him. The Bismarck Tribune and Mandan Pioneer,, commentjng on Gaines being called’ before the council of defense, gave the impression that not an acre of the 30,000 owned by him was under cultivation. This paper gave a similar impression, but “passed the buck” to The Tribune. The fact of the matter is that Gaines has several farms under cultivation and has invested hundreds of dollars in seed. In spite of this latter fact, and the further fact that Mr. Gaines personally appeared before the council of defense at Bismarck last week, that body saw fit to authorize the cultivation of some of his lands by private parties. This is considered a war meas- ure to help the government in its call for the largest possible crop acreage. A similar ruling was made relative to some idle lands in Dunn county, and were the time two weeks earlier would have affected a startling acreage wherever idle lands existed. ‘We trust that the proposition results in a big crop and does not prove a burden- some confiscation even to Gaines.—Center Repub- lican. POISONERS OF THE PRINTED PAGE ¢ | Opinions presented’ in, this column may or may square with The Tribune's, views. They are sub- mitted in order that Tribune readers may have both sides of questions now before the public, as they appear | to the several factions concerned, and The Tribune ip aecumes no responsibility for them. ° It is indeed interesting to observe that the newspaper critics of Governor Frazier and his co- workers in the state house at Bismarck have nothing to say whatever on the work that has been done by them as state officials. Instead, the scribblers of the venal press are stuck for anything resembling an argument. Therefore they raise the false and self-de- famatory cry of “disloyalty.” X Surely they are blinded to their own infamy, or they would not continue to insinuate that men such as the people of North Dakota sent to Bis- marck two years ago are anything but the high- est type of patriotic Americans: Surely they have not considered the terrible injustice of the course in which they persist. Surely they have not taken into account the law of cause and effect, or they would not so des- perately attempt to build up a Frankenstein of falsehood which cannot harm those against whom it is directed, but which in the end must turn and rend its creators. : If the newspapers which are carrying on a campaign of insinuation and slander against re- proachless public officials, men who are leading their state to record after record of patriotic achievement, are neither blinded nor deluded, but are cold-bloodedly working a wrong which they know to be a wrong, then is their shame blackly compounded. | ; If such newspapers, knowing the truth and printing its opposite, are compelled to do the will of men outside of North Dakota whose inter- est in our affairs is that of the wolf’s in the sheepfold, their situation, in all charity, is in no- wise improved. \ And yet this last, possibility seems strong BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE ling after the opening of Mandan’s “NEWS ITEM — AT BIGHT ocLock ‘ mH TiLLie SMITH WILL BIG FARMERS’ PICNIC TO BE HELD JUNE 24 (Monday, June 24, is the date set for the first annual farmers’ picnic to be held at the Northern Groat’ Plains field station. County Agent A. J. Gaumnitz is in charge of the arrange- ments ofthe affair. Hom? canning demonstrations will be features of the picnic of interest to the women. Under the able direction -of Miss Elsie Stark,,;government home food demonstrator. for‘ this district, there has been an especially interesting pro- gram arranged. Canning of surplus vegetables,‘ fruits and meats is no longer considered impossible for by carrying out the instructions carefully every housewife will be able to do her own canning. The cold pack meth- od will be one of the methods of can- ning demonstrated by Miss Stark. The men will be welcomed but by offering démonstrations on such .an interesting subject it is believed that every farmer lady in the vicinity or) Mandan will avail herself of the: op- portunity to learn. It is impossible for these agents to visit every home in their district and this get together pic- nic will be’ the opportune time to ‘bring the instructions to the women. While the men are being lectured to on the varioug grains planted through out the station grounds the ladies will attend the canning demonstration. MEETING OF CLUB Tuesday evening will be the occa- sion of a get-together meeting o the Commercial club members as well as the business men of Mandan, who are not members of the club. The meeting will be in the nature of an annual meeting of the club preceded by u banquet at the Lewis & Clark hotel. The time for the annual meeting was several weeks ago but the club mem- bers voted to hold the annual meet- new hotel and thus serve as a return party to the hotel management as an appreciation of the splendid party they gave the Mandan residents as well as Slope people at the occasion of the opening of the hotel. Rev. Buzzelle of Bismarck will deliver an address. The party is not confined to mem- bers of the.club exclusively but every ‘business man of the city is extendea a cordial welcome. A splendid ban- quet is being arranged by Arthur Kredler, manager of the hostelry Tickets for the banquet will be two dollars per plate. Roy Countryman, . C. McLean and E. A. Tostevin are the committee in charge of the ar- rangements. The business of the club to be ta- ken up at the regular meeting is the election of three directors who in turn elect the officers of the, club. Since the resignation of. George Janda as secretary of the club, it has been ne- cessary to appoint a substitute for this office. In order to give consid- erable time to the banquet and to an address the business session will be as short as possible. Rev. Buzzelle, Episcopal minister of Bismarck, has accepted the invitation to deliver an address during the even- ing, Rev. Buzzelle is a powerful speaker and has. delivered a number of patriotic addresses the past few months. In Oliver county he deliverea a series of lectures in behalf of the Red Cross at which he talked in five towns. The story i8 told of one pa- tirotic family attending all five of the lectures, going to the various towns by automobile from their home. The business men as a whole have expressed their desire to attend the banquet and those in charge of the affair are of the opinion that the din- ing room of the Lewis & Clark will be filled to its utmost capacity. !t will serve as a splendid means of express- ing the appreciation of the business men that Mandan has through the kindness of Gov. Hanna become known from the Twin Cities to the coast for its splendid hotel. RED CROSS SHIPMENT, One of the largest shipments to be sent from the Morton county Rea Cross chapter to headquarters was sent Friday. The shipment included 80 hospital bed shirts, 90 outing flan- nel pajamas, twelve bath robes, sev- enty sheets, 43 bed-size bags, two rugs BECOME A JUNE BRIDE.
