His probably was one of the most striking personalities of the world war. Prior to 1914, few outside his own followers knew him, Last Armis tice Day he was honored as highly as the heroes who faced fire in the most ruthless war of all times. His name is associated with war as it with peace. At the outbreak of war hurried from Rome to urge his people to resist the German in- he vasion. His courage in the face of danger was as great as his ardent advocacy of world peace. Fear- less, he denounced the invasion of Belgium and de fied the enem!es of his country without thought for personal safety. No form cf intimidation deterred him from duty to his countrymen as he saw it, Held even as pris oner in his home, he did not abate his efforts in be- half of unfortunate Belgians who stood the brunt of the first weéks of war. In 1916 he predicted victory for the Allied cause. At the beginning of Lent in 1916, he sgl in his pas toral letter: “The conviction of our final victory is more deeply anchored in my soul than ever. We will win, do not over doubt gt, but we have not reached the end of our sufferings. Prepare your plans, place your batteries, co-ordinate your movemefits. Remember, man proposes, but God disposes.” These wete indeed prophetic words and did much to buoy up the drooping epirits of his countrymen. Demands for an apology from officials of the -Ger- man occupation met with silence and contempt from the aged prelate. Few cardinals have been honored in America as was Mercier. When he paid a visit to the United States in 1919, he was met by General Pershing and €reeted in the name of the’ American government. Hig was a lovable character, and his many virtues endeared him to millions in many quarters of the ‘world. ;especially in ‘things political. One thing is certain: if he did drink whisky, on oc- casion, he hasn't done it for upwards of 126 -years. That length of time is pretty nearly long enough be, to win forgetfulness. We all know the really important things be any afgwment about; things that will be remem- bered as long as Americ: vo And the other things--oh, who cares? get the whole squabbl Let's for Guillotine Chicago may be famed as the city where crime flourishes as the proverbial bay tree, but, Chicago also must be cited for owning such citizens as Henry Keller. Keller is a butcher, The other day, one James Smith, robber, entered the Keller butcher shop, po'nted a brace of revolvers at Keller and his as: ister. Something within Keller's manly bosom snapped. Perhaps he had grown sick and tired of all these holdups. Perhaps it was that last straw. At any rate, Keller made a dive for the robber. | A bullet passed through his sleeve, but he and his assistant closed in on Mr. Smith and soon had him on the butcher block begging for mercy, a cleaver in the hands of Keller-and a knife held by iis assist ant poised guillotine like above him. The three | were like that when detectives grrived. Assurance of swift and sturdy justice such as this would soon have a very dampening effect on crime in Chicago.

Better Nice thing about winter is the weather is mostly too had to play gol Editorial Comment Twelve Men Good and True (The Jamestown Sun) An Associated Press dispatch from Fargo yester- day afternoon says that “about 12 representative bue:ness and professional men of Fargo” wired President Coolidge that the “overwhelming senti- ment of ‘North Dakota favors the World Court.” For many years “about twe've” Fargo men have taken unto themselves to answer for the “about six hundred forty thousand” residents of North Dakota, We can not but ad- mire the nerve—nay, nerve is but a feeble word— it is barely possible that “gall” or “brass” might express it, but we prefer the good old army word ‘beginning with “g” and ending in “uts"—of the twelve Fargo men who thus appoint themselves to answer for such a mighty commonwealth as North Dakota. } It has not always been the same “about twe've” men. Sometimes, we suspicion that it has been “about four or five’ or even less, but we do know that it has been, partialty at least, because of the attitude of these same men that the words “Fargo” and “North Dakota” are synonyms that have caused much of the political unrest in the state during the last eight or ten years. It ig full time that the “about twelve” men of Fargo learn tat North Da- kota is not bounded on the west by the city limits sistant and proceeded caimly to empty the cash reg- | for a man’s private habits, whatever they | ; that | Washington did.
