Great Britain has been softened, however, and it pre- fers the velvet glove to the iron gauntlet with which it ‘used to smite the trouble maker. In other words, it now Polices such challenges to its authority instead of treat- ing them with lead and powder and bayonet. So far‘no ‘one is being blown from the muzzles of cannon as in the _ days of the Sepoy rebellion. Perhaps the new way is the better. It is a critical situation with which the empire is called on to deal. In it are the elements of another great conflagration, not ‘60 much in the military sense as in the creation out of ‘the rabid Indian nationalism of a persistent and even in- | @radicable racial hate which would render Britain's fu- " ture rule of the old Mogul empire a continued resort to F force, that is, an experience very much like the final . period preceding the concession of home rule to the pres- ; ent Irish Free State. That, it will be recalled, was a suc- cession of guerilla revolts with but brief lulls and with barricade fighting in the streets of the big cities that ‘would have been worthy of Parisian insurrections in the vestless Nineteenth century days of France. ‘The present Indian disorder is reminiscent of our own troubles in the Philippines following the Spanish-Amer- ; ican war. The resentment out of which Ghandi re- » cruits his followers is deeper than that which the Fili- | pinos felt, because it is more imbued with nationalism | sentiment, but the violence has not yet approached that which Aguinaldo was able to foment. In a way, the les- ser disorder in India may be attributed to the policy with which Ghandi has begun his agitation to shake off served as the means of fixing British rule firmly on the land of the ancient pharaohs—something that had not existed theretofore. This is not the case in India. The Prospect of loss is the thing there. Whichever way the matter is viewed, one sees only a ticklish situation invested with grave peril to Britain, not only in India, where British rule is at stake, but all over the world, because of the threat to British prestige the moment it tus to yield in India. It may prove to Nave been a striking piece of folly to have trifled with Indian feelings when the promise of dominion rule for the empire was sacrificed to selfish politics on the part ‘of the home parties, playing the game of parliamentary (mtrigue like a Nero fiddling while Rome burned. Fargo’s Growth North Dakota rejoices at the material gain in popula- tion made by Fargo, the Gate City. Virtually every city fn the state the population of which was in excess of 8,500 in 1920 will show material gains. ‘While Bismarck’s census figures are still unannounced, | %t is reasonable to hope that the Capital City will show ‘as high if not the highest percentage of growth of any eity in the state. This is both a satisfaction and a chal- flenge. A challenge to greater goals in the future; a sat- Asfaction of the great natural resources and the enter- prise of its citizens that place Bismarck’s growth in a elas by itself. * Returning to Fargo’s growth. It has been consistent. {There has been no boom, no attempt at inflation, just a gteady growth due to advantages peculiar to that section jof the state and from which Fargo enjoys the legitimate It is permissible at a time like this to speculate what | Rinds of legislation that have retarded progress.

And during the summer keep the dandelions down, too.

They help to make the city beautiful, A Fine Convention ‘The coilvention of the North Dakota Dental associa- tion has all the earmarks of a real, earnest body meet- ing to get the greatest good out of gathering together and rubbing elbows. It is seldom that a state body meets here with such interest manifested in clinical features, whatever the activity represented, as this organization is showing on the present occasion. It is drawing on its own best representatives and on expert and specialist in the practice of the profession, and there is a remark- able display of fixtures that go with modern dentistry. The participants much surely return home with fresh- ened enthusiasm for their vocation. May they also take with them a heightened opinion of Bismarck. The local dentists who are back of the con- vention as hosts are an up-to-date body of practitioners and good and sociable citizens. They should see to it that the visitors get a favorable reaction from their com- ing. Anyhow, Bismarck is glad to have the association meet here and hopes that it will come again at some future time. The flowers in May are not a whit more welcome. Students and Prohibition One amazing result of the straw votes taken upon the issue of prohibition is the attitude of students toward the eighteenth amendment.

More than three million voters have been polled by the Literary Digest in what seems to be a very im- partial survey of the issue. That linked together with the other polls made in the colleges and universities give food for thought. ‘The New York Times in discussing the significance of the student polls says: “These statistics cannot be dismissed as the callow reactions of young people, or the view of spoiled sons of rich Wets. In nearly every institution listed above, the student body is drawn from all classes through- out the nation. It was further developed in the polls that the following student percentages drink: Har- vard, 65.5; Yale, 70; Princeton, 75; Amherst, 65; Pennsylvania, 33; Pittsburgh, 60, and Cornell, 66. Laws which produce such dismal violation by the country’s future leaders are laws which congress must consider as at the bar of public opinion under serious indictment.” Gandhi probably has in mind what the American col- onists accomplished with tea when he took up the salt revolt. If Convicts Should Win a ‘Strike’ (Minneapolis Journal) Whatever sound reasons may exist for removing War- den Preston E. Thomas from the Ohio State peniten- of Federal Hall, New York. Washington was elected in January and was supposed to have begun his term from March 4. But there was such a delay in forming a quorum of Congress that the votes of the elec- toral college were not counted until early in April, when they were found to be unanimously in favor of Wash- ington. The delay apparently pleased Washington, for he wrote to General Wali th NIE you... that my movements to the chair of government will be accom- panied by feelings not unlike those of} & culprit, who is going to the place of his execution; so unwilling am I, in the evening of a life nearly consumed in public cares, to quit a peaceful abode for an ocean of difficulties, without the competency of political skill, abilities and inclination which are necessary to manage the heim.” YS | Quotations \ TARR: pic tertsiadel al “If all human lives depended upon their usefulness—as might be judged by certain standards—there would be ® sudden and terrific mortality in the world.”—Gene Tunney, former heavy- weight boxing champion, es * * “There are fools in all countries Knox: “The delay may be compared|and they run in a fairly consistent BEGIN HERS TODAY tiary, Governor Cooper did well to keep Thomas on the Job as long as the convicts were “striking” to enforce de- mands for his ouster.

If convicts could get a warden fired today by “going on strike,” then the same convicts would be going on strike next week to force shorter hours, week after next to force @ change in the character of their work, and the week after that to force inauguration of a system of fur- loughs. The fire at Columbus was a horrible thing. The bungling that delayed rescue work in the doomed cell block until rescue work was futile, was more horrible still. Nevertheless, use of the resultant horror to break down prison discipline should not be permitted. If a man does not like prison life, let him keep out of peni- tentiaries. And the way to keep out of penitentiaries is to refrain from committing felonies. Prison life is nec- essarily somewhat unpleasant. Imprisonment would fail of its purpose, were it otherwise. Enforcement Legislation (Washington Star) ‘The house bill for the transfer of prohibition enforce- ment from the Treasury department to the Department of Justice has finally been reported to the senate.
