CRIPTION RATES eda North Dakota) THE STATES OLDEST NEWSPAPER. + (Batablished 1873) pL) ee rio, seen FOR THE COMMON GOOD That old fashion, long worshipped doctrine of the democratic party, state rights, which might well have been buried with Jeff Davis, is surely on its way to the cemetery, and it is a good thing, for when it is interred we shall be nearer a united United States. Plenty of tights will always be left to the states, but through our war policies and proposed constitutional amendments we are certainly get- ting closer together, more unified agnto general policies of government. Our suffrawe and prohi- bition amendments are clearly interference with state rights, inasmuch as their ratification by only a part of the states makes them constitutional law over all. And, when you come to study the matter, there’s no more reason why prohibition and franchise legislation shouldn’t cover ail the states than that tariff legislation shouldn't. , » Then, there are other ways to beat the states ‘that-are backward about endorsing general poli- ‘gies. | Take,-for inetance,child labor legislation. The U 8 “child. bof jaw but, the’ states can-taboo sale of products;of. of child labor. s principle i is already in effeetyig. everal states\as to importation..of intoxicants: ie objection to this—and it is.a strong one—is that it promotes ill-feeling between ‘the states.. It’s predieine, but it is loaded with bit- ‘terness. Ab mae int But this is a critical period in which lie right to grasp at it'as a drowning man— abgolute necessity is a solidly united country, and a “good many of our old:ideals, partisan and other- _wise, are being mowed down. We are taking on ‘a lotof positive autocracy, which none of us like ‘in ordinary times.’ We will throw overboard some ideals, like state rights, which some of us have, liked véry much.’ But, when we come to readjust, we'll have more democracy, if we're wise and vigi- lant. DOING A GOOD WORK _ In an administration unfortunately marked with turmoil and strife, the North Dakota Coyn- cil of ‘Defense, created by an act of the special session, stands out in bold: relief as a department which has accomplished something for the state’s good and which, as a body, has kept its hands out of politics and sought to render honest serv- ice. » _ The North Dakota Council of nse has re- lieved the minds of our men who are serving their country abroad of anxiety for the care of the loved ones at home. It has assured their fami- lies of protection. Its prompt and determined action in the case of two violations of the civil rights act had a salutary effect over the state and have convinced our fighting men that they may face the foe without fear of an attack from the rear. ‘ The conscription of idle acres, revolutionary as it would have appeared a few years ago, as a war measure met with general approval, and it will add to our flax crop, under normal condi- tions, 500.000 bushels ofrseed for which Uncle Sam has a grave need. The council of de- fense took the initiative inthe organization of a federal labor reserve; it is organizing in every county and every community branch councils which will do locally what the parent body is seek- ing to do for the state at large. It has endeav- ored to eliminate influences which would have made for lack of harmony, and in all that it has done it~has acted with a calm, judicial tempera- ment which is a compliment to every member of the council. Next week the North Dakota Council of De- fense stages in Bismarck a series of loyalty ral- lies which will bring here. prominent war work- ‘ers from every section of the state. The Red Cross. will be the principal beneficiary, financially, and its depleted treasury should be enriched to the extent of several thousand dollars. Directly -and indirectly the whole state will profit. Already the council has begun its campaign for a bumper 1919 srop. _It realizes that to prepare the soil for sowing we must have more tractors, and that the farmer must have an opportunity to invest wisely when he purchaseshis tractor.

Food production is the one thing in which North Dakota excels. More than all the men it can give will count the bushels of good golden grain which our state can contribute to the lard- use|ers of Pershing and his allies. The North Dakota Council of Defense tractor demonstrations are a move in the right direction which will result in increased acreage and bigger production. The council is entitled to the support of all of North Dakota, and especially should it have all the en- couragement and cooperation which Bismarck, the Capital City, can give it. It is incumbent on all of us to drop politics this once and to pull together and help the Coun- cil of Defense to make its Loyalty Week program a pronounced success. “Keep his knapsack full.” THE WORLD'S GREATEST WASTE When you turn on your electric light or start your electric fan here in Washington you do not The electric current you use is made by dyna- mos turned by belts which are moved by engines fed with steam from boilers burning coal mjned in West Virginia, hauled hundreds of miles, and loaded and unloaded at least three times in tran- sit.

The eye of the government has been turned] toward this waste. HALF THE FREIGHT CARRIED BY OUR RAILROADS IS COAL, and we sadly need the cars and the engines for other purposes. Some keen-witted official has asked the ques- tion why not burn the coal at the mine, change its energy into electricity THERE and transmit that Proguct over wires?

Unatateine | HE ALSO; KEPT OUT OF WAR Debate in congress on the erection of a statue of James Bachanan, once president, brought out expressions that might be applied to recent his- tory.. Buchanan was president for four years pre- ceding the inauguration of Abraham. Lincoln. There were undisputed evidences of. rebellion, and war seemed imminent to most honest observers. The president was what in these years ‘would be called .a pacifist. He refused to believe that there would be war. His attitude toward secession was vacillating and undefined. He was not disloyal in the sense of favoring the demands of the south, but he did nothing to ward off secession or to prepare for armed struggle when it came. . He hoped to “keep us out of war,” and was popular witha coterie of pacifists for that reason. The election of Lincoln brought: to the presi- dency a man endowed by providence with the qualities that fit men to deal with great crises: There was no preparedness to meet conditions that had gathered with cumulative force to des- troy the solidarity of the nation. The safeguard of the nation lay in the wisdom and purpose of the president and the loyalty of the people who} still believed in a nation united. . History has re- corded the events of that era, but what might have been had a man like Lincoln been president during the period of Buchanan’s incumbency can only be conjectured. Historical events and the place:men occupy in the annals of the country often turn on very slight incidents. President Wilson’s election. de- pended upon the vote of one state, which gave him but a slight majority. Had he’ been defeated after the campaign waged for him because “he kept us out’ of war,” because he had refrained from any step toward preparedness, what would have been his place in history? Had Hughes been elected and the war prosecuted to successful peace, as it will be, what. place in history. would. his poli- tical opponent have been assigned? Would some future congress. debate on‘his lack of ‘backbone ‘and his complaisance .in the: presence-of. immin- ent national danger? Would the reasons urged in his behalf while a candidate for re-election be brought forth in debate to cloud his record and discredit him in history? As we contemplate what might have happened had a Roosevelt or a Lincoln been president from 1857 to 1861, it is but logical Colonel: Private: oe et a KERENSKY IS ON HIS WAY TO AMERICA| {Continued From Page One.) months ago, , opened a wide field of speculation on the purposes of his vis- it here.

Apparently Germany has given-up hope of reaching a decision on the field of battle if the speech of Foreign Secretary Von Kuehlmanfi is an in- dication. -He declared that peace must come from: negotiation and said that the appearance on European frqnts of soldiers from overseas had made this necessary. The secretary could give no idea of when the war would end. His effort was received coldly by:the Reichstag. The official view in Washington was that the speech was a peace move and thatyGermany now invites proposals from the entente. It is felt that the move is similar to others which have “| followed Gérman-or Austrian failures to bring a quick decision in the field. On the other hand Germany still moves forward in her. conquest of Rus- sia, It is reported that 3,000 German troops has been landed at Poti, a trans-Caucausian port on the Black sea which has rail connections with the important centers of Tiflis, Batum and Eacku, Batum is in, the hands of the Turks.
