Maj. Gen. Kernan, chairman of the war depart-| =— ment board which has investigated complaints of | courts martial, says that such courts are “for creating and maintaining the discipline of armies” rather than for “nice exemplification of technical rules of law.” Secretary of War Baker has given his approval to this view. Free and easy armies do not win victories over trained, obedient armies. Pure justice is by no means the aim of a court martial. Its aim is to punish and by its punish- ment set an example. Many sentences imposed during the war were excessive, and have been re- duced or set aside by presidential authority. But they served to create a respect for army regula- tions and the articles of war, whether or not that respect was at all times healthy. Just as the volunteer system, which is based on a splendid ideal, has been demonstrated to be completely outclassed by conscription, so the idea of a court martial which would safeguard the rights of accused soldiers as carefully as civilian law safeguards them, cannot stand against the stern efficiency of the old-fashioned army trial. An army is not the place for tenderness and sympathy and precious regard for the individual. War is hard and soldiering is hard. For wrongs suffered by soldiers through the pressure of discip- line we can only register one more black mark against war itself. DO SOMETHING . What is being DONE by the national govern- ment to combat the high cost of living? Several measures are contemplated; evidence is being gathered; agitation is in the air. | But people can’t eat pending measures; they get all the evidence they need at first hand; agita- tion can be found anywhere. It is cheap nowa- days. The joint congressional committee on agricul- ture asks questions relating to the Lever bill against profiteering and the Kenyon and Kendrick bills for control of the meat industry— But ACTION, which is called for to relieve con- ditions which are producing unrest in this country and which will generate hardship if unchecked, is not forthcoming. There should be no hesitation or doubt in de- termining on what action is needed. The issue affecting the most people at the pres- - ent time is the question of food prices. The cost of flour determines the cost of 35 to 40 per cent of al! the food eaten in this country. The cost of other provisions follows the cost of flour, up or down. The federal grain corporation holds a billion dollars of the people’s money which could be util- ized at once for providing a subsidy to millers to lower the price of flour. The grain corporation has the organization nec- essary to apply this subsidy. Everything is ready, all that is needed is— ACTION! And there are members of congress who would be bitterly opposed to Heaven if members of the other political party declared themselves in favor of it. WITH THE EDITORS WILSON’S TOUR ’ Not the West, but the Far West, is the target of the president’s personal appeal. Of the thirty cities in which he is to speak, only five are east of the Mississippi. These are Columbus, Indianapo- lis, St. Paul, Memphis and Louisville. He will make stops in twenty-two states. In sixteen of them he will speak once; in four—Missouri, Min- nesota, Montana and Colerado—twice; and in two “Washington and-California—three times. It is geographical rather than political considerations that influence this distribution of attention. Otherwise, New Mexico would have a speech or two, and Idaho more than one. In fact, some of the speeches are to be delivered at the home towns of senators who favor the treaty; conspicuous among these being Omaha, the residence of Sena- : tor Hitchcock. Senators who are prominently gainst the treaty and at whose home towns the dexter, who lives at Francisco. Other senatorial cities are St. Paul, the home of Senator Kellogg; Helena, of Walsh; Portland, of Chamberlain; Salt Lake City, of King; Cheyenne, of Warren; Denver, of Thomas and Phipps; Little Rock, of Kirby; Memphis, of Mc- Kellar; St. Louis, of Spencer, and indianapolis, of New.—New York Post. THE PLAN OF THE PEERLESS William J. Bryan has been inexplicably slow in adding his own special plan for settling the rail- road problem to the welter of plans already sug- gested. But Mr. Bryan atones for his delay by bringing forward a singularly unworkable scheme, a combination of federal and state ownership and {operation warranted to generate endless friction, inefficiency and loss. In the face of the generally admitted failure jof government operation he is still obsessed by the dream of government ownership. The alibi he furnishes is that the government took over the roads when private operation had failed, and that it has been handicapped by the desire of those in control to see the roads return to private control. Yet he proposes to substitute a mongrel form of ownership—the government to take over a skele- ton system of trunk lines reaching to every state, land the states to take over what is left, if they feel like it. It would be difficult to conjure up a scheme more certain to result in crashing failure. But then schemes of that sort have always Mr. Bryan’s specialty. Fortunately the people never gave him warrant to undertake to effectuate any of them.—Minneapolis Journal. LET’S ALL STRIKE! If it is going to remain the fashion among workers on trolley lines, steam railways and other transportation institutions to exist in a chronic state of idleness, owing to protracted and continu- ously intermittent strikes, we fail to see why that class of people should have a monopoly of this kind of stuff. Let’s all go on strike! Who is a trolley man, anyway, or a brakeman or a fireman on an engine, that he should tie things up, any more than the rest of us? No, sir; it’s against the Constitution for any class of the people to be favored over another class. Why should we stand for it? Let’s all strike! Clear down the line, from presidents of cor- porations to the janitors of the dog pounds, let’s all strike—strike for our altars and our fires, strike for the green graves of our sires; strike to beat the band, and let the band strike, too. Ha-ten-shun? - Everybody strike! If the trolley lines are to be tied up, let’s tie up the soda-water fountains, the dairies, the blind pigs, the sauerkraut orchards, the banks, the res- taurants, the lawn-tennis courts, the skin games and everything else from soup to walnuts. For by the great horn spoon, one man is as good as another in this country; and a blamed sight better, if it comes to that. If one class of people won’t let the public ride, then let another class of people shut off the grub and another shut up the stores and another shut \up the laundries. Let everybody shut up. But maybe that’s too much to hope for. Every- body shut up? Oh, boy, if only that could be done for just one hour every million years, what a won- derful world this would be. Imagine 10,000 walking delegates of 10,000 unions, including the Actors’ Union, shutting up for just one hour. But why think of it? Earth would be too much like heaven then. So what can’t be can’t be, and the next best thing is for everybody to strike. Let the iceman strike, the sausage grinders, the potato peelers, editors and newspaper repor- ters, preachers, window washers, moulders and peddlers, tailors and bushelmen, chauffeurs, hair dressers, bakers, butchers, poets, street sweepers, barbers, cigarette makers, bankers, chamber- maids, drummers and jazz orchestras. Let’s all strike while the striking is good. And then let mother strike. What, mother? Yes, mother. Pull down your sleeves, mother, put on your bonnet and walk out and strike. And strike good. Gee! That would be a strike worth talking about. Then that fellow who was one of Emma Goldman’s husbands for awhile could write an- other book about “To Hell and Back”—if mother strikes. These trolley fellows say that the reason they are on strike is that they have grievances. If that be true, then mother should have been out on strike ever since Tubal Cain was an apprentice ina blacksmith shop. She has had grievances ever since Noah stepped out of the ark and got drunk. And she has grievances now worse than ever.! Go on, mother. Strike. Strike for fair and tie! up the whole works from Dan to Beersheba and from Hell to Omaha. Let us see a strike that is a! strike—Los Angeles Times. Dr. Nitobe admits that Japan has “copied | everything German.” She might eventually copy Germany’s style of finish except for men like Ni- tobe. Takashi Hara informs us that the restitution of Shantung depends on the attitude of China. The attitude of China will be cringing and submissive, as usual.

North Dakota farmers are all familiar with the experience of the last two years relative to the dam- age done by fr This year North Dakota probably has the most nearly nature corn crop it has ever raised. Alnost any farmer who has planted corn and worked it reasonably well now has ears sufficiently mature to select for seed purposes, DO IT NOW. NOW IS THE TIME Select; 100 or more of the best ears available, selecting ones that stand on the stalk the stiffest and straightest and yet have the proper shape for corn Any Corn that is glazed or dent- ed will upon drying without frost or without high heat germinate and give you-a good stand next year. If the frost stays off & couple of weeks long- er, go through your field a second time and make a second larger selection getting form and shape of. stalk and enrs wanted. Shock these separately. Tie up shock or shocks and then put number of bundles around the out- WAS THERE 1CAST NICHT SH I SAY A Be Crowd BY CONDO A BIC CRowD WAS THERE Cast nieuTt !!

I couldn’t stand a bit of noise and was so awfully nervous sometimes I was nearly frantic, I was in such bad condition I could harly eat or sleep, w: t able to do my housework and just did nothing but suffer day in and day out. No matter how little I ate, gas formed in my stomach and I suffered with terrible eramping pains and had such awful headaches sometimes I thought my head would split. I was troubled a lot with my kidneys, too, and my back ached so terribly at times I could hard- ly stand it. I finally got where I never knew what a well day meant and was gradually getting worse and although I took all kinds of medicine for my trouble nothing gave me a particle of relief and I got very blue and des- pondent. “One day my next door neighbor dropped in to see me and begged me to take Tanlac, because she said she had found it to be a wonderful medi- cine and, as her improvement was Loticeable, I felt encouraged and when my husband came home I told him about it and he got a bottle that very evening, Tanlac seemed to help me al- most from the first, so I kept on with the treatment and the results I got were certainly remarkable. My nerves began to calm down and I started to sleeping better and found my appetite was picking up and what I ate agreed with me, It wasn’t long before that adwful pain in my back disappeared and now I can say I am completely re- lieved of all my trouble and am per- fectly well and strong again. I now eat three big meals every day and never e any uncomfortable feeling in my omach afterwards and can sleep fine every night and my nerves are so rong you couldn't tell I had ever been rervous at all. I feel bright and happy att the time now; in fact, I seem like a different person, altogether, and am so thankful for the way Tanlac has helped me I can’t help from talking about it and my husband tells me peo- pe will get tired listening to me praise Tanlac, but I just don’t care, because a medicine that will do so much for a person ought to be talked about.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow, in Driscoll by N. D. and J. Hf. Barrett and in Wing by F. P. Homan, —Ady. aaa from a second freezing. Be sure to take all the seed corn in and dry it before actual freez- ing sets in, Thtre is a great demand every year for North Dakota grown seed corn, not only in North Dakota but in Mon- tana and elsewhere. If we could list it we could sell thousands of bushels. As State Seed Commissioner I have authority to list good d corn, but I cannot list it if it is frosted and of poor vitality. As soon as you have your corn or other seed prepared for sale as seed, let us know how many bushels or pounds you have and send a sample and we will investigate its mtrits. If found desirable for seed, we will list it and will send the list to those who wish to buy. H.
