The hand of democracy, world-wide and all-embracing: * Four of. a kind; ‘unbeatable,’ ‘unapproachable. than kings. And, you will notice, there’s not a joker in'the hand. Just men, human, honest, democratic, men of the people, men in whose arteries and veins flows the red blood of manhood. That’s the hand which will win at the peace table, and will clinch forever the victory democ- racy won on the battlefields'’of Europe. Of course there will be kings; always have been in every deal, you know. But. kings count for little when four aces are present. And, four aces are present. They'll be at the conference. Three premiers and one president. Sure, King George of England will be there, and King Emmanuel of Italy and the brave King Al- bert of Belgium. But the real powers in the con- ference, and before and after it is held, will be four untitled, uncrowned, common men, three premiers anda president. They’ll be: WILSON OF THE UNITED STATES. LLOYD GEORGE OF BRITAIN. CLEMENCEAU OF FRANCE ORLANDO OF ITALY Never in any peace conference have four men as big of mind and purpose gathered around the table. And never in an all-European peace con- ference have kings and emperors played as small a part as they will now. The four aces will win. The kings,will have no show, and deserve none. Also (hurrah!) there are in the discard, two kaisers, a Bulgarian czar and a Moslem sultan; and (again hurrah!) the joker of autocracy has been torn into bits. DON’T WANT FARMS The Yanks will not lead a general back to the soil movement on their return from France. A straw vote indicates that less than ten per cent of our fighting men wish to settle on farms when they come back. This was to be expected. Say what we may of the joys of farming, the life is still a lonely one, and with all the modern labor-saving devices, a hard one. ‘ Farmer boys who never were before outside their own township; boys who were timid of the city, fearful of travel and slow in making friends, have been around. They have seen more of life than it ever will be given most of us stay-at- homes to see. They have the courage of experi-}3,049,991 casualties in the conflict. ence, and when they return it is not probable that| 658,655 British killed. Let us, with all pride in}; they will be content with the same narrow bound- aries which they knew of old. Our problem will not be,the settling of these Yanks on the farms, but first that of finding some- thing for them to do in our cities, in our large industrial centers, within the zone of life and light and swift-moving action. We doubt not that in the course of a year or two they will tire of the glitter of tinsel and false! gold. They will discover the hollowness of life in the average large city ; they will become convinced that real opportunity beckons there to but one in a thousand or one in ten thousand. Then, if ever, will come a back to the soil move- ment, and then we must have prepared the soil for these boys, by maaking country life more at- tractive. We must have more community social Better} centers in the, country; we must have country theatres and other places of amusement. We must have better roads, in order that distance may be eliminated; we must have better country librar- ies, in order that the young people on the farm may have the same cultural advantages offered in the cities, and we must tear down the imaginary barriers between country and town, and make the country people understand that the cities are for them and for their enjoymennt. | A LIVE ORGANIZATION | The Valley City Commercial club bulletin for !December, which has reached The Tribune ex- change desk, is an interesting, readable record of the activities of a live community organizatioh. The club membership, of which a roster is given, is not large, but- there appears to be close co-op- eration, cohesion and unity which makes their combined efforts big. Secretary I. J. Moe, who has been managing executive of this organization =|for several years, is to be congratulated upon his stewardship. OUR MEMORIAL DAYS Respect for our dead is one of the things which distinguishes the human from the animal. There is coupled with this sentiment that underlying confidence in immortality which is conscious in even the most degraded of human races. The Elks, a great national organization who have so much to commend them, lay especial emphasis upon their memorial ritual. The observance of their annual memorial day at the Elks’ temple yesterday was ‘a beautiful service which must have made every- one who heard it feel a little closer brotherhood with those who have gone to dwell in a realm ‘where, some day, y) matter what our faith may ibe, we hope by our good works to earn a reunion with them. EARLY BUYERS GET BEST CHOICE Only 20 more shopping days to Christmas. Early buyers are getting first and best choice of gifts. Early buying is the new habit. It is preparedness in gift-buying. Every merchant and dealer is ready for you. Every clerk is ready to give you a smiling wel- come and all the hints you need. Early shoppers are favorites of the clerks and the dealers. That’s because the earlier in the season you do your shopping the better the assortment and the \bigger the stock of goods to offer you and the more time there is to devote to filling your indi- vidual wants and needs. Besides, when you shop early you are not dis- tracted by any great jam of excited, eager buyers into forgetting what you came after or driven in desperation to buy something you don’t really want. Nor are you likely to get your hat knocked off, your coat torn half off your back, your feet tram- pled on, your temper rumpled and get back home so tired out that you'll wish Christmas never jwould come to you again. The retention of the conservative kaiser-crea- ture, Dr. S. O. S. Solf, in the “radical” Socialist | government of Germany, does not allay suspicion of the revolution’s sincerity. | WITH THE EDITORS “LEST WE FORGET” Great preparations are going forward in Wash- ‘ington for the journey to Paris. The great form- er German steamship, the Agamemnon, is being furnished and made ready for the triumphal voy- age. The once regal suite of the kaiser will shelter the presiednt and ‘his immediate household. . Sec- retaries and clerks and stenographers, gentlemen- in-ordinary, in-waiting, and in-eagerness, are jbustling about, brushing up their evening clothes, and making ready for the pageant. Our persons in high places will loom large in the |peace conference in Versailles. Tremendous pro- jects will be afoot, and there will be neéd for guid- ance on the part of those who have real reason to know whereof they speak. Our dignitaries of-the durbar must guard themselves against intemp- erate desire to dominate. We must remember that as we march into Paris we are entering the halls of profound men. We must remember that they, too, have done something in the war. As it has been a war for humanity, our dele- gates and their leader must not overlook the point that our brethren overseas were three years.in the fighting before we entered; that they are seasoned in the knowledge of Europe. We must not forget that England has suffered There were our achievements, give due credit to a nation that has sacrificed as England, and seek no excessive advantage in the councils of the Allies. Let us not forget that it was the French who threw their bodies against the Prussian storm of steel and stopped the invasion that might*have changed the world in an entirely different way. Let us not, forget the silent heroism of the Serbs trampled under foot in the first rush of Prussian- ism, nor the deathless courage of the Belgians, the bravery of the Czechs, the Montenegrins, the Greeks, the Italians and all the other peoples who suffered untold violence.’ : It does not seem the time for dictatorship.

RCONSTRUCTION __- WORK UNDER WAY IN SASKATCHEWAN (The Associated Press) MOOSE JAW, Sask., Dec. 2.—Re- construction work is inférmally un- der way in Saskatchewan and. in a few days a great campaign wil} for- mally be launched to aid the return- ing soldiers. “Social reconstruction is to be the most important topic con- | sidered, it is said.

The Nebi8sh, Maple Ridge and O’Brien township lines have ,just been completed and will be in | operation soon. A telephone line will also be constructed in Alaska town- ship next spring. Connections are made between each of these telephone systems and it is expected that within a. short time practically every farmer in the south end of the. county will have a tele- phone. When the bill authorizing townships to construct telephone lines was pass- ed by the: state legislature, the inten- tion was that it would give the farm- ers fire protection and they could call for help in time of danger. It is now proving to be of value to the farmers trom a commercial standpoint. ASHLAND HAS AN ENEMY ALIEN OF WHOM IT’S PROUD ASHLAND, Wis., Dec. 2.—Ashland {has an “enemy alien” of whom it is roud. Mrs. Michael Kaminsky lives on a farm seven miles from here. She and her husband came from that part of Poland which was ruled by Ger- many. Not, long ago they had the name changed to Kain as one indica- tion that America is their country, but Kain had not completed his citi- zenship papers when the war startes. M¢s. Kain has five sons, John, Jos- eph and George are with the Ameri- can army in France and Peter ‘is with our troops in Siberia. Mrs. Kain re- ceived word recently that John has a small fragment in his leg and Joseph has a bullet woung through the shoulder. Last summer, the state G. A. R. en- campment was held here and the mo- thers of soldiers’ were invited ‘to join inthe parade. Mrs. Kain walked sev- en miles into town, refused to ride in an automobile byt marched on foot in the parade. She then walked the seven miles home to do the evening chores. ‘ - When the order came to register alien enemies, Mrs. Kain walked the seven miles again and presented her- self to Postmaster McDonald. Mc- Donald did his duty, of course, but knew the facts. What he said to her may never be known, but Mrs. Kain went back home happy. The fifth son? Some time ago he became mixed up with a street car. When the doctors had untangled: him and finished put- ting him together, he had a silver plate in lieu of.a portion of his skull. When the time came to vol- untéer, the army surgeon rejected him, much to his disgust. Scrub yourself daily, you are not clean inside. This means clean stom- ach, ‘bowels, blood, liver.
