This was the women’s part in the election and it ig{amentable that their power did not extend to évery office on the ballot. The results might have all squared with Miss Nielson’s:vote. While it may be too early to pre- dict beyond question her election, every indication points that way. She is running as high as six to; one in some of the cities and in the country she, has made such inroads on Macdonald’s support} that when all the votes are counted it seems like- ly the props will be completely knocked from un-} der him and socialistic influences removed from the state department of public instruction. . {The women did it.

PREMATURE PEACE. | Security League.) have been divided roughly into two classes: Those ithat read about the war and those that did not. } Today practically every one in the nation is inter- -'ested in the war, but again may be divided into jtwo classes: Those that think and those that do | not—or cannot. It is only those incapable of grasping this great urrender ____|war in its entirety, of looking beyond the mere {casualty lists—which horrify them—that hope iand pray for an immediate peace by negotiation ; a peace that would leave the German empire in the position of a man who has had a severe illness but only needs time and care and recuperative rest —something the German empire now yearns for —to be stronger than ever again. By this time it would seem that the densest per- is insatiably greedy, mad for world power, con- sumed with hatred of her rivals in wealth and im- portance, as ruthless and savage under a thin veneer @s the ancient Huns, without pity, mercy, honor; psychologically incapable of telling the truth, or considering the rights of others, and with no sense of fair play whatever. And yet you hear constantly—for the less intelligent of Americans are incurable optimists—“Oh, be sure she has had enough. Her peoplé never will stand for another | war. She really desires peace now, and récog- nizes her mistake in plunging the world into war —she never dreamed it would go so far. But let us stop this killing business. The future can take care of itself anyhow. | If this war finishes with the Hohenzollerns and Prussia in power and an undigmembered. Austria- Hungary to support her, it will. be because of a jbreakdown of morale on the part of the allied powers, which -has let them drift supinely. into.a negotiated peace. And if Prussia remains in the saddle and the Southern Slavs have not been. per=' mitted to form a’strong buffer state, independent jof a crippled and impotent Austria, we shall not only be plunged into ‘another war ten years hence ‘but into a hopeless war. The same demoralization that had led our European allies to consent to.a ‘compromise would have relaxed their. moral fibre ‘to suth an‘extent'that they wotild make little more than the gesture of war.

Forces of clean government, and advocates of fair play in politics hope that the devices of this alliance will fail. If strict attention to duty must defeat a state’s attorney in Burleigh county, then it is time for Burleigh county to take political stock and work against that day when such tac- tics cannot triumph. But our fighting state’s attorney is not defeated yet. He will be in the fight until the last ballot is counted. Then his hosts of friends hope to see him go ovér the top. At any rate, victorious or defeated, his record is clean and in any event hé retains the respect of a majority of the citizens of Bismarck who despise the political tactics which too long have’ charac- terized our county politics. Certain academic minds of a demi-Boche per- suasion are arguing that if we impose just indem- nities on the Huns we'll destroy their business life, and they plead that the world can’t get along without Germany. The answer seems to be that we've successfully been doing just that for over four years. REGULATING THE LEMON. The fruits of our misfortune just now are oranges and lemons. Influenza has revealed to us the true nature of the gentleman from whom we always secured our juicy deserts. It be-Hoovers -us to hand our swarthy-skinned purveyor’ of saffron-skinned fruits his “just deserts.” Oranges have hit the 20-cents-per-each mark. Lemon prices catapulted from low as 12 cents to 50 cents a dozen. The exploded explanation is the unubual de- mand due to the flu and a below-normal crop of citrus fruits. The shortage of supply, under ordinary condi- tions, might affect the price slightly. The un- usual demand could be met with limited sales to separate customers. The increased call lessens by waste through de- terioration of stock. It likewise lowers selling cost. So instead of inflation, prices should’ have remained stable even though a shortage actually exists. _ ‘ The federal trade commission has limited profits » fo two anti three ents on the “spherical seedless” eer | Prussia has not altered its characteristics in fifteen hundred years; not.since the days of Gen- Those who care to consult the! sovie and Alarie, when the nofthern tribes of.Ger- |many under those historic freebooters lived for ; war and the spoils of war, and won the honor of \being, with Attila, the most brutal trio in history. |The record of Prussia is even worse today. Is any one really so innocent as to imagine that she | would have a change of heart in our time? Yes,! jwhen the leopard changes his spots to the gold} !stars of sacrifice. She would whip’ Russia into shape, and then, head down, charge the world ‘trained fighting men behind her. * | There would be no doubt whatever about the jfate of Europe. We should have a better chance of resistancé,. but none whatever of conquest, not ‘even if we sank the German navy. In any case ithe war would drag on for years. Now, if the |Pacifists, socialists, and traitors in our midst, as well as those weak timorous souls that weep over our men who are delighted to be over there and doing their duty, can be silenced, we stand a fair chane of winning the war next year by sheer superiority of numbers and generalship, smashing the military machine and chasing the wicked am- bitious and unscrupulous powers that alone are |reSponsible for this hideous scourge, into a limbo !from which they never will emerge. The future of the world literally lies in the hol-| low of our hand. At present that hand is a fist and Germany’s mean little soul has shuddered and shrunk under its impact. But let those iron fingers relax before Prussia is on her knees begging for. mercy, and we may as well make her a present (with impressive ceremonies, on a golden platter) of modern civilization, including those mere side issues, democracy and individual freedom, and have done with it. A compromise peace and Prussia will lick her chops and sit down to the leisurely task of eating us alive.

May I go a step farther and say that you were legally right as well. Prohibition is written into the constitution of the state of North Da- kota. ‘The honest, law abiding con- selentious citizen, will obéy that law even although it may deprive him of what he believes he is sentitled to un- der ordinary circumstances. This article in the constitution cov- ers all that the bone dry- Jaw covers. The bore dry law was enacted simply to prevent the booze-fighting, hear- drinking and wine-bibbing judges, and lawyers, et al., from defeating the pro- hibition law -by resorting to techni- calities, ete, and down right disre- gard for all law where booze thirst there,is no law. The man who is looking for a loop hole through which to violate the prohibition clause of the state constitution {s..one who confesses that his thirst has vastly more weight with him than the wel- fare of the less. informed and less self- restrained people of this state. who need the protection which this law gives. Unwittingly the Honorable Judge’ may have started something that will come clattering down: on the devoted heads of the booze friends of this state. It is up to the next legislature to see to it that the present, or a more drastic bone dry prohibition law is placéd-on our statute books as the ma- jority of the people of this state de- mand: The man who thinks that he is freed from legal obligation because the bone dry law has not been properly enacted is not freed from his obligation to obey the constitution, No.subterfuge can free him from the legal and moral obligation he is un- der to obey the prohibition law now a part of the constitution of this state. If the: so-called» ‘fespectable, even honorable, high lights, of this state can’t contain themselves without their booze, why don’t they get out of here? ’ A, SUBSCRIBER.
