REPUBLICAN YEAR..

There are indications that there is
to be an increase in the republican vote
this year. The bull moose vote Of 1912
was largely a republican rebuke to the
! methods Of the national republican
convention in Chicago and also an
expression against the supposedly re-
dictionary views of President Taft.
What tests have been made so far
indicate the bull moosers are now re-
turning to the republican fold. No
more striking proof can be shown than
in the primaries in this and other
states. In this state the bull moose
vote was negligible. In others 1t was
cut down to an exceedingly small per-
! centage Of what it was two years ago.
There will be a big slump this year
and by 1916 the attitude will have raj
lied the republicans of all fractional be-
liefs back under the old banner.

to act as vice president. Through the
noted Ohio jurist who aided her so
greatly and who had been such a
prominent figure in congress for nearly
twenty years, Miss Barton succeeded in
securing much federal legislation for
the American Red Cross.
She represented the society at con-
terences with the international society
In Switzerland in 1884 and secured its
aff1ltatton with the world movement.
In 1892 Miss Barton went to Russia
to work during the great famine that
swept that country that year. In 1896
she went to Turkey to help relieve the
suffering in the Armenian massacre.
Early in 1898 she wrote, The History
of the Red Cross in Peace and War,
which has been placed in nearly every
library in the United States and Eu-
rope. Later during that year she en-
tered active field service in the Span
ish-AmeriCan war. Also she performed
field duties in South Africa in the Boer
war from 1899 until 1902. In 1903 she
represented the society at the worlds
convention in London.
The next year, 1904, Miss Barton re-
tired from the presidency of the Am
ertcan Red Cross society and was sue
ceeded by William Howard Taft, later
president of the United States. Mr..
Taft served for eight years and was
succeeded in 1912 by President Wilson.

by Germany. Instead of taking Ger

That the Germans either overestimat-
ed their own power or grossly under
estimated that of Belgium is evident
from what has made history during
the past two weeks.
The Belgians were prepared for just
such an emergency as has occurred
and the people of that little kingdom
evidently know their neighbors and
the lack of confidence to be placed in
their guarantees.
Incidentally the French have much
for which to feel grateful in the ability
of the Belgians to keep the kaiser's
great army busy till the French could
mobilize and reach the frontier.

DR.. Richard c. ACabot's What Men

literary magazines this is one of the
best selling books other than fiction
in the country, a distinction it has
now enjoyed for five consecutive
months. So remarkable a sale for a
book of this nature, dealing exclusive
ly with the ~profoundest things of life,
has been & source. of considerable, sur-
prise to critics who have been deplor-

reading public of today. Undoubted-
ly the sermons that have been preach
ed from the leading pulpits of the
country on topics suggested by What
Men Live BY and the praise given the
book by the ClergYmen of many de-
nominations has been largely respon-
sible for this remarkable sale.

FOOD s.

The average householder finds 1t
! rather difficult to harmonic the IN
crease in food prices with actual con-
! ditions. The United States is at a
with the entire world. North Dakota
is the most secure and restful spot on
earth. but the people Of Fargo are
| paying wal time prices just like the
subjects of the countries engaged IN
the European strife. President Will
sons official inquiry into the Increase
in food prices is timely and it should be
effective.
1t is evident that the prices on food
stuffs have been boosted in antlclpa-
ton of what may occur, rather tina
because of the present necessities.
There is a temptation, Of course, on
the part Of the dealers to hold back.
This seemingly decreases the supply
while the demand remains normal and
gives the controlling factors the ex-
cuse of boosting the figures. While
the initial dealers are getting in their
work, the retailers are doing SOM
an]ticipatory figuring, and h con-
sumner foots the bills.
