FOLLY AND COURAGE.

The German Emperor appears to
have been betrayed into arrogance.
and it would seem that his counsel
ors have failed him, in permitting the
German Empire to draw upon itself the
enmity Of all Europe, save AUSTRIA
Hungary.
But the readiness with which half
a dozen powers have manifested a
willingness to line up with Russia
against Germany indicates clearly
that every nation in Europe was
afraid Of the Germans, whose sole
offense during the reign Of the present
emperor has Deen to make more rapid
advances in commerce than any Of it's
rivals. Germany has won the reputa-
ton Of being the best country on the
globe for what Europe calls the low
er classes, and what the United States
calls the common people, save per-
haps the United States, and it is by
no means certain that even the United
States has offered better conditions to
the w~orkingman during the past dec
ad than has Germany.

IDDLES, Til tell you a story tonight about the first MI and Mrs

them to do the same thing al soon as they were old enough.
But after awhile Papa Beaver got worried, and he was almost afraid to
leave his wife and children alone in the woods. You se'c children. there were
other larger animals that were enemies Of the beavers, they we're always
planning to attack and eat them. But Papa Beaver was very smart He had
been watching the little stream, and by and by he told Mamma Beaver OF a
veys smart plan. As"
Mamma said he, 4 have thought of a way to fool these big enemies of
ours. This stream is quite narrow, but you and l will buhd a dam across 1t
and make a pool and in that pool e will build a house to live in, SO that the
big animals cannot get at u.s.

PERcHERoNs AND RELGIANs.

A well informed livestock man tells
The Forum that the breeders of this
state. who have high class imported
P]erCheron and Belgian stations, will
quickly learn hat the value of these
animals will be greatly enhanced as a
result Of the European war. Thousands
Of the pick Of these great breeds of
horses will be used by the French and
German armies. Many of the best OF
those grown in Belgium have already
been seized by the Germans. France
has taken over the best of the Per
cherons.
This will prevent the usual importa-
tons Of these breeds to the United
and make the imported sires
all the more valuable.
1t will also have a tendency to de-
velop an American type OF both breeds
and may improve the horses in this
state by creating a slightly different
type, better adapted, PERHAPS, to the
requirements Of North Dakota than
the animals that have been directly
imported.

NORTH DAkoTANs THERE.

1t is such a common occurrence that
it is almost a certainty that wherever
anything happens some one from
North Dakota will be there. 1t doesn't
matter whether it's a scrap in Mexico,
in the South Sea islands, in Africa or
in Siberia, if there is anything doing
the press reports will always carry
something about a North Dakotan. No
tragic event is complete without a
North Dakota victim, no big ev ent &C.
ours without a North Dakota specta-
tor.
One is impressed with the large
number Of North Dakotans who have
been participants in the leading events
in connection with the returning
Americans from Europe. Many people
from this state will be engaged in the
war under the flag Of some of the diff
ferent nations involved.
If it happens at all, it is a practical
certainty that some North Dakotan
will be there.

BIKES AND r

Something has instilled a new spirit
into the world of machine building in
recent decades, a fact which is plain
to those who reflect that the automo-
bile is being brought within the reach
of people of only moderate means, or
who, Judged by modern standards. are
even poor.
1t will be recalled that when the
bicycle "craze" was on, a good bicycle
could not be bought for less than s85.
The average price, perhaps. for a good
machine, was about 800 and some Of
the most popular makes sold at $125
and $3.50.

Kings Are but Pawns.

Hartford Courant: Kaiser Wilhelm,
Emperor Franz Joseph n Gear Mich
olas are little more than pawns in the
big game. 1t Is the people themselves,
in each of these countries, who are
directing the course of events. There
are many old hates, ambitions, jealous
les and fears among the nations of
Europe, and they are cultivated as
heartily by the people as by their rul-
ers. And in America the news dis
patches tell of the eagerness of Serbs,
home and help in the fighting on behalf
of their native lands. Man Is not yet
tanned. He Is still a fighting animal.
He has no need of cZars and emperors
to make him fight. He will do it, with
or without them, when he thinks It's
time to put on his lighting clothes.

form of bowel complaint and is then
cured sound and well by n or two
doses of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera

of a severe attack when life is threat
ened. Try it when in need Of such a

Who Wants War

A vanity girl and the tinned-goods man,
One with feeble excuse for a brain
Craving the show of a uniformed beau;
The other whose God is gain, just gain
These be the souls that the War-1ames fan!
A hot-headed boy with a painted dream
Springtime's promise and life i the bud!
With his youthful brag of death for the flag,
AS flags were vampires to feed on blood!
'Tis for his kind that the eagles scream!
Two chancellors wrangling over a patch
OF land. who play on the pride Of. race.
And a countrys need for their lying creed
But how will they look God In the face
Who fight their battles with neer a scratch?
An aged king on a lettering throne,
His dead behind him, and death before,
With little to choose, If he win or lose,
A blank in history, but for war
All, such are the demons very own!
And the soher-minded who dare not shirk,
Perforce, or fearing to seem afraid.
Must harvest the spoil of their barren toll:
The image of God, defled, betrayed,
While the war-fend laughs for his handiwork!

American Diplomacy.

New York World: During the long
months of "watchful waiting in Mex
leo, we were told by critics of the Will
son administration that American
diplomacy was the laughing-stock of
Europe"
British. German, French and Austrian
political writer's never tired Of explain
ing how ridiculous was the attitude of
the United States, and how certain 1t
was to end in disaster.
Yet our much-derided American di-
plomacy solved the Mexican problem
without a. war, while one short week
of Euripean diplomacy has plunged
Europe into the greatest conflict known
to history.

America the Common Friend.

Detroit Free Press: President Will
son has acted as the nation would have
it's president act in rendering his Of
fees as peacemaker to the powers Of
Europe. America will always be an
advocate of peace on earth and in his
most awful of all wars it's position is
the more emphatic against the criminal
waste Of life n property into which
passion and prejudice have plunged
humanity. ...
What the president has done is none
the less c~ommendable because it has
no prospect of success. The blood of
the fighters is running too hot now to
give room for optimism about checking
their headlong rush to arms. Even
when their fury has exhausted itself
it is not probable that there will be
opportunity for INTERPRETATION, for if
one side wins signally it will arrange
it's own terms Of peace, n in case
of a deadlock the contestants will find
their own way to bridge over their
chasm. But it is not so much the effect
upon the fighters that is important in
the presidents offer as the reflection
of his own nations sentiments.

ordered to pay and discharge all sail
ors not attached to the colors. It is
reported that there are about IL, 900
of such men. The immigration author
tiles. recognizing the emergency Great
ed, have decided to relax the law and
admit all of them as immigrants upon
payment of the customary head tax Of

is forced upon the United States a fine
supply of able bodied seamen in spite

is another European CONFUSION of such
a nature as will compel us to accept a
fleet of ships and we will have a mer-
chant marine.
