FEEDING SOLDIERS CHILDREN
Soup is Served in Brussels Public
Schools Every Day.

Marie Harrison, correspondent Of the
London Daily Chronicle in a Brus-
se's cable to New York Times.
Nine Vandervelde, the English
wife of the Belgian Socialist Minister,
is taking an active part in the organi-
zation Of relief schemes, and l accom-
panied her on several visits We went
first to the military hospital, where
we left two bulky parcels containing
II kalos of cigars for the sick and
wounded Then we went to a depot
from which soup is sent out to all
i the schools in the citl About 5000
children are now fed daily. Very
soon the number will be 10000.
iTS3e soup is a meal in itself, for it
is made of fresh vegetables and meat
In the courtyard l saw great piles of
vegetables that had been given by
poor statesmen for their still poorer
friends. Nine. VanderveIde explained
that the soup was provided by a COM
mittee Of ladies, but that a tremen-
dous quantity of fresh vegetables ar
rived every morning from these gen.
erous-hearted tradesmen, and the Wo-
men were very glad to undertake the
worly Of 5;ctrihu+ioD
An official pointed out with pride
the system of organization. From the
mighty caldrons the soup is poured
ilto big vessels and quickly sent out
to the various schools organized from
one centre. The cost of the relief
work is thus considerably lessened.
Later We saw some hundreds of hun
cry children in the poorest quarter of
Brussels eagerly devoring the soup.
Each soldiers wife receives only 1-2
pence Us cents a day, and ) pence
90 cents for every child, so the
need Of help is great Nine Wander
velde and l also visited one of the
many schools that have been turned
into provision depots The govern
ment has bought enormous quantities
Of provisions and the Rue de Vaudure
school alone contained 1000 sacks Of
-four as we'll as piles of cheese, maca-
roni, sugar and so on. Here the peo-
pie may come and buy at ordinary
prices.
When the distress is acute the food
will be distributed free Nine. Van
dervelde accompanied her husband on
daring Journey toward the frontier.
She said: cit took with me some hun
dreds of red silk handkerchiefs for
our Belgian soldiers, who nave moth
ing to protect the backs of their necks
from the sun. They were touchingly
grateful. We were, Of course, fur
nished with all kinds of passports,
but our car was stopped again and
again and our credentials examined
with minute care Coming back,
when about % miles from Brussels,
we were fired on. We were unin-
jured, however, and not even our car
was damaged. 1 did not feel at all
afraid, and our driver hept his head
and hurried on. The shots came from
a wood, and it was a narrow escape"

FIGURES THAT SHOULD MAKE
Us THINK.

Chicago Herald: It is an accepted
truth that the efficiency and the safety
Of popular government depend on an
Intelligent and interested electorate.
And the intelligence is useless accom-
panied by interest that moves to per-
Sonal participation in polls decisions.
Without sue participation by very
large majorities OF the possible voters
government falls into the hands of
..professional politicians" and Their
followers, who are largely so for per-
ocnal gain. Or 1t falls under the con-
troll OF minorities representing some
special interest which is not always
nor usually the general public inter-
ct Then government ceases to be
EpopuJar and in time ceases to be free.
with these truths in mind the regis
|1ta4ion figures for Chicago must needs

THE ENTIRE TICKET

The Herald has stated that except
in the are case of a nominated can
didate being manifestly unfit, there
Is no good reason why the decision OF
the members Of a party at the pri-
mary election should not govern the
action of the members of that party
at the general election following. The
Herald has been asked IL it intends to
be governed by it's own counsel. II
answers emphatically that it does.
The republican ticket which was
nominated last June is composed OF
men of whom no party need be
ashamed. Some Of them are now
holding Office, and are candidates for
another term. They have made cred
table records. and will. If elected,
continue to do so. Some of them are
candidates for the first time for the
positions which they seek, but in
those cases the candidates are men OF
good standing, and have so commend
ed themselves to the people by their
character and work that they. too,
may be expected to serve we'll the
oS0LS VI IllC loCd4 community III Tie
omces which they seek.
In saying that it is for the entire
republican ticket, The Herald makes
no reservations. Some Of the candi-
dates are men whose nomination this
paper preferred before the primary.
Some are not. But, where a prefer
ence was felt for one candidate. that
preference involved no feeling Of an
tasonism for his opponent. When
the nominations were made, The Her
aid accepted them cheerfully, graft
ned that in some cases it's own judg-
ment had been confirmed by the peo-
pie. and in others waving it's own per-
sonal preference in favor of the man
who vas preferred by the majority.
For this reason. and because 1t has
no az to grind, no favors to seek and
no enemies to punish, this paper, with
the kindliest feelings toward the can
didates Of other parties, hopes for the
success Of the entire republican ticket,
and believes that its success will be
for the interest Of the state.

BALLOTS.

Most of the citizens Of the state will
this fall be privileged to vote fiv bal
lots. In some cases more than five
will be used but five is the standard
number. First there will be the gen.
a election ballot on which will APP
pear the names of all the state and To-
cal candidates whose Offices are con-
sidered political. Second, there will
be a ballot for candidates for the SUI
preme court. Third. there will be a
ballot for candidates for state and
county superintendent of schools.
These ballots may be voted by men
and women. Fourth. a ballot for con-
s%titutional amendments. Fifth, a wo-
mans suffrage ballot. In some To-
calities n or more additional bal
lots are provided for local questions,
as in Trail county, where a vote will
be taken OF an appropriation for the
county fair.
The township Of Mekinock. in this
county. is in a class all by itself. Be-
cause the lines bounding the legisla-
tive district and the county commits
stoner's district do not coincide, 1t
happens that 1t is necessary to furnish
Mekinock township with a ballot un-
like any other used in the county. 1t
Is seldom that a ballot has to be
printed specially for a single town
ship. There may be other cases like
that Of Mekinock in the state, but
there Is no other in the county.
The rotation of names on the ballot
makes endless trouble for the print
ers. According to law the order of all
the names on the ballot must be
changed a. many times as CORE
spends to the greatest number OF
candidates for any one office. Thus
II, In a given district. there are six
candidates for an Office. the order in
which all the names appear in the
column must be changed six times
In doing this, where the number OF
ballots to be printed is small. the
printer spends most of his time stop.

agencies working in concert every ef-
fort will be made in a systematic

pecially in the Northwest, where men

There Is merit in the suggestion of

organizing for this work, and the ex-
cellent point is made that such q o N

trouble about conferences in general Is
that they are carried On in an ut.

when there is not much else to do,

enough. But to bring to these states

LET Us GO

Opportunity Is not merely knocking
at our doors-she is battering them
down with the sledge-hammer of
British. French, German, Austrian
and Russian runs. This struggle
means the shifting of the worlds pow
er in trade and business to the Unit
ed States. Its ending will bring to
the New World. and particularly to
those lands in the New World that
have the largest measure of oppor-
tunity. millions of Europeans whom
the war will have impoverished. These
men and women will not be of the
pauper class; they will be the best
product of the old lands, unable long
err to remain in homes that have been
swept by war or ruined by taxation.
South America will take care of
many Of them. Already Germans are
in possession of a large part of south
ern Brazil. The Argentine and Chile
are by no means filled up. In such
settlers will find ready welcome there.

new LIGHTS FOR
COLLEGE CAMPUS
Musical Recital Chief Event
of the Week at James
town.

The week at jamestown college
started in with a splendid recital by
Professor Rexford Colburn and Mrs.
M. Smith Colburn Monday evening in
Sanford hall. Mr.. and Mrs. Kroeze in
vited some $50 guests for the evening
musicale, and a most delightful re-
ception and recital was had. Prof.
Colburn played a number Of CLASH
cal pieces on the piano, and Mrs. Col
burn sang selections in French, Italian
and English. The English selections
were from Tennyson by Whe1pley.
She has q rich dramatic soprano
voice, and thrilled the audience. She
y undoubtedly the leading soprano
the college has had in the conserva-
tory Of music. Refreshments were
served after the recital.
The big cluster lamps were on for
h first time this week, and made
the campas look like a downtown
business street with its white way.
Mrs. Blanch Hoyden Hutchinson OF
the Fargo school Of expression and
formerly q teacher in Jamestown col
lege, gave two interesting readings at
Chapel Tuesday morning. She was
greeted with great applaus, as she is
we'll and favorably remembered.
Mics Helen L. Johnson Of New
York, chairman Of the department of
economics of the Federated Women's
clubs, was chapel speaker Thursday
morning. She gave an address on
home economics. full Of wholesome
advice to both boys and girls.
President Kroeze gave an address
Of welcome Tuesday night on behalf
Of the college, at the convention Of
the Federated Women's clubs, which
met in Jamestown the greater part
Of the week.
The Federated Women's clubs took
lunch at the college on Friday at noon
and were escorted through the college
plant. They represent the best cul-
ture and intelligence In the state, and
the college was very happy to- have
them as guests.

Owing to their recent and only par
tial enfranchisement the women have
not yet formed what may be termed
the voting habit" That Is, fewer
women than men regard voting as a
civic duty which they ought to dis
charge regardless of personal com
ort or convenience. Hence the de-
cline of qualified women voters from
207.170 to 166,277 may be dismissed
as deplorable but not dangerous. The
women must have time to form 'the
voting habit"
We cannot SO regard the decline in
the number of men voters from 446.-
095 to 394.015. or the lowest qualifi-
cation in proportion to population for
fourteen years! That is positive proof
that among the men Of Chicago the
conviction hat personal participation
in government is a civic duty is weak
ening. 1t shows a drift in a direction
dangerous to popular government.
Fortunately we are not without
knowledge of this weakening of the
civic moral fiber, as it must be called.
The average voter has been called
upon to carry burdens greater than
he can bear. What psychologists term
the faculty of attention" has very
definite limits. 1t has been over
strained for what is now nearly q ma.
jority of the possible voters.
What with elections already too nu.
merous. and doubled in number by
the direct primary-what with the
multiplicity of candidates that the di-
rect primary permits and encourages
what with the multiplication OF
elective offices and the enormous bal
lots with which he is confronted
ever the above average voter feels
that intelligent voting has become hu-
manly impossible. The average voter
tends to give up the task as hopeless
He is doing so increasingly. There
are the registration figures to prove
1t.
1t is absolutely certain that some.
thing must be done, and that soon, tc
tighten the burdens which the presen,
system imposes or the voter. The reg.
istration figures are a conclusive ar.
gument for a constitutional conven.
ton and the short ballot.

SYSTEMATIC WORK FOR IbrNdI-
GRAFTON.

On this page is reprinted from
Farm, Stock and Home a very
thoughtful and pertinent editorial on
the subject Of immigration, with par
ticular reference to the problems
which will confront the Northwest i'm
mediately on the cessation of hostili-
ties in Europe. The Herald has on
several occasions commented on the
fact that without doubt, as soon as
the war is over, immigration Of un-
precedented proportions will turn to-
ward the United States. Families will
have been broken up, industries dis
organized, property swept away. and
it will be necessary for millions of
families to make a fresh start In life.
Every day there is being piled up a
