MONDAY, JUNE is, 1914.
JOHN n. WORST.

North Dakota is a young state but
1t has a number of citizens who have
gained a national reputation by the
sheer force Of their personal ability.
One of these men is John H. Worst
For over twenty years Mr.. Worst has
been at the head of the North Dakota
Agricultural college, ar institution
that has been one Of the leading fac
tors in developing the idea of diversi-
fed farming.
In this issue Of The Forum there is
published a remarkable tribute to the
ability and worth of President Worst.
1t shows that this North Dakota farm
er-for that is what President Worst
was when he was called to the presi-
dency of the agricultural college TWEEN
ty years ago-has won not only ma
tional but international fame. John
T. Burns, foreign secretary Of the In
ternational Dry-Farming congress,
says the candidacy Of President Worst
is a matter of national import, es-
pecially to the agricultural interests.
The Forum believes this spontane-
Gus tribute should carry great weight
with the voters Of the state.
North Dakota is an agricultural
state. It's every interest is bound up
in the advancement of the cause of
agriculture. AS Mr.. Burns says. the
paramount issue in the United States
is the intelligent development of farm
ing to it's maximum of individual and
national profit"
President Worst Of the A. c.. has
made a study of this paramount issue.
After years of practical experience on
the farm, he has devoted over twenty
years to research work, in a keen
analytical study of the whole ques-
ton of agriculture. in all it's relations
to the other problems of the day.
John H. Worst seems to have been
specially prepared to represent the
farmers Of North Dakota in the Unit
ed States senate, at a time when the
subject of agriculture, and it's relation
to the rest Of the national problems.
looms large on the horizon. The For
UNI believes the farmers Of the state
will not neglect this golden opportuni-
ty.

ing and longing for ever since there
was traffic between the old world and
the new. FfguratiVely, at least, the
ships of all nations will line up at the
entrance of this canal to await their
turns to pass through-the ships of all
the world but the United States. The
United States reserves to itself the
monopoly Of coast traffic, else it would
have little or no watershipping. There
is no need of derisive smiles or muir
murs of incredulity. The United
States has so little ocean commerce
that in totals it is oil but negli-
gibIe. The American flag is almost a
curiosity in many of the great ports
of the world. There are. important
ports where our merchant flag is not
seen from years end to years end.
British ships still do the bulkof the
worlds carrying by sea, but the Ger
mans, the Dutch, the Norwegians and
other nations have large and increas-
ing tonnage. The United States lost
its grip as a nation of ship-owners and
sailors more than fifty years ago. From
1910 to 1850 it led the world. Yankee
clipper ships swarmed every sea where
a cargo could be found.
Then came the transition from sail
to steam, from wooden ships to iron
and steel, and the Americans quit. The
war of the rebellion absorbed our at
tention for four years, and in those
four terrible years the Yankees SEEM
ed to have gotten all they knew about
the sea. American merchant fleets
vanished or rotted at their mornings;
even the United States navy became
a joke.
Alexander G. Mcclellan, a high officer
in the service of the Cunard line, in
the current Atlantic Monthly, dis
cusses this decay Of American mari
time interests. AS a practical sailor
he attributes unhappy situation to
governmental neglect. American ship
building is not encouraged, and Am
erican registry is made all but i'm
possible because of i'll advised or anti
quated laws and regulations. The
navigation laws governing American
shipping today were passed in 1892.
1t is almost unbelievable, but Mr..
Mcclellan doubtless knows what he Is
talking about. No further explana-
lions need be sought of the decline
of American shipping.
Mr.. Mcclellan does not attempt to
solve this great problem for us in it's
entirety, but he suggests the creation
Of the office OF a Minister of Marine,
an office to be filed by a technical
and well informed seaman, rather than
by a civilian or a man. who knows
nothing about ocean traffic. He would
have the office independent of political
influence, and he would have the
minister clothed with authority and
prestige hat would vouchsafe con-
gressional action when needed. In
short, he would put American marine
interests on a modern business basis,
brain, machinery, and all.
The question that something should
be don is scarcely debatabIe. The
Monroe Doctrine, good in its day and
opportunity, is still good and adapted
to present energies when given Presi-
dent Wilson's new Interpretation. And
so the Aemrican shipping laws
should be given a twentieth century
meaning and application. Let us avoid
the absurdity of building the great
Panama canal for every country but
our own.

volume Of money seeking that kind of
an investment.
The attitude of a governor on the
interest rate is not Of great import
ance. The reduction proposed can be
brought about only through the legis-
lature and If that body enacts a law
reducing the rate it Is a foregone con-
clusion it will be signed by the
chief executive, no matter who he
is.
If there is a lot of money seeking in
vestment in North Dakota n the
men asking loans are the right kind
and the security offered is satisfactory
the borrower will get the money at a
low rate Of interest. If the opposite
conditions prevail the rate will he
high. These facts are generally ap-
preciated by those familiar with North
Dakota conditions and the campaign
siG gan of the candidate in whose inter"
ests this agitation was started is not
winning a large place in the minds of
the voters.
Governor Hanna, in an interview
jus before he started for Norway 10
present the Lincoln monument to that
government, clearly stated the situa-
ton. as follows:
"a good deal has been said with
reference to the reduction Of interest.
l have always believed that the re-
duction Of interest naturally follows
the increase in capital and the stabili-
ty Of the country and of the borrow
ers. In the eastern part of North Da-
kota now the average rate Of interest
for short time loans is 8 per cen or
less and while the rate is somewhat
in the middle and western sec
tons, the bankers in these sections
have to pay higher rates themselves
for the money which they have gotten
to loan TO the people. I believe that
the bankers and the borrowers alike
will welcome a reduction in the rate
Of interest and l shall be glad to use
my influence in bringing this about"

care free and happy with the gaiety
of the morning hour! The bodily light
ness belongs, Of course, to youth; is
there no hope of a continued youth of
soul that would make our going from
task to task as happy as the child's
dance from home to school?
we cannot. we would not wish to
be free from work or the thoughtful-
ness of manhood. We find a deem
source of a different kind of happi-
ness In the tasks and responsibilities
winch come upon us. There is '.ttle
real JOY for the idle man. who is forced
TO invent his own occupation. But
can we not learn or recover the child's
secret of the happiness between. the
JOY or the moment, unclouded by
memories Of suffering and undaunted
oy fears of what is next to come?
Childhood itself, indeed, is a time
between, a CLEAN of not unbroken
sunlight between the mystery of dark
ness out OF which we come and the
assuming OF burdens which we must
bear u whole life long. Childhood
has its Interruptions of trouble that
are hard to bear and it's morning sun
light changes by slow degrees into
the glazing noon. But while it lasts
It is dancing time for the soul Trou-
Dles are soon forgotten. The world
affords toys enough, for play Of fine
hands and the Imagination.
The sight Of children in the poorest
city quarters taking their toll of pleas
ure from the reluctant streets and
dusty lots tells us what springs Of
happiness live in the human soul and
overflow to make a green place in the
busiest corners of the earth. This
happiness of childhood is not the eff

Why should we not, in view Of our
immortality. learn to regard our whole
life here on earth as akin to child
hood-a bridge between two stages Of
existence, getting its quality and
worth from that to which it leads and
leaving room for happiness between
it's trials and ~perplexities?

THE PROTECTED DEFENDANT.

The layman oftens looks On with
wonder at the workings of the courts.
Often when it is palpably evident that
justice has been cheated because of
some trifling technically fair-minded
men feel like taking the law into
their own hands that justice might
prevail.
The Saturday Evening Post has
found the reason for the seemingly
idiotic way in which the courts tran
sact affairs: 1t says:
The Indictment charged two
defendants with murder by "chok-
ing, strangling, and by beating
and striking" The judges instruc-
tons to the jury said that If the
defendants acted in concert It
would make no difference which
actually struck the blow or chok-
ed or smothered" the victim. On
appeal the higher court held this
to be a fatal error, emitting the
convicted murderer to a new trial.
because strangling, as charged in
the indictment, was a different
thing from smothering.
Such instances occur frequently.
but the fine technical points on
which murderers are liberated or
granted new trials were not in
vented in a lunatic asylum.
Strange as it may seem to a lay
man., there was once a reason
for them. In most iurisdic-
tons the defense can appeal on
any technical point, but the prose-
eution cannot appeal at all; a de-
d convicted of m~anslaught-
er, say, may demand a new trial
n on the new trial he cannot be
convicted Of murder, no matter
what the evidence shows.
The maze of technical advantage
este the defendant that survive our
criminal law is a product of past
centuries, when stealing a sheep
or a piece of cloth was punisha-
bic by death and when criminal
courts were used by such tyrants
as James II for the purpose Of
political vengeance or private ma
lice.
r Almost any device that has
sheltered the accused from the
rigors of the law was Their JUS
tlfied-and we retain all the de-
vices, though the reasons for
them vanished long ago.

The reason that the twentieth cen.
