for the teachings of Nautilus. Since

Germany has steadily increased her

the time of the war they were about

The alliance of Great Britain against
Germany is so unnatural as to occasion
great surprise and wonder that the
English people stand for it. If there
is anything in the saying that blood
is thicker than water" the people of
England must have a much more
friendly feeling toward the Germans
than for the French and Russians. The
Anglo-Saxon races which formed the
basis of the present English people
came from the same stock as the Ger
mans. They have nothing in common
with the French people, their heredi-
tary enemies from centuries of war.
fare. Nor have the freedom-loving
descendants of the men who forced the
Magma Charta from an unwilling des-
pot, anything in common with the serf
dom and absolutism of Russia. Be-
u of these considerations it did
not seem possible that Great Britain
would ally itself with France, and Rus
STA against Germany. But those who
guide its ship of state have seen fit to
form an unnatural alliance and the
nation must stand by it. But it surely
must be CALLING to many of the people
of England to be fighting with heredi-
tary French foes and Russian serfs
against those in whose veins the blood
of their common ancestors flows.-Ex.

From various reports We gather that
the selection of a new president for
the state university at Vermillion did
not put a stop TO the scraps among
the faculty and the student body. There
is a lingering suspicion hat much of
this trouble is fostered by the citizens
of the town in which the university is
located. The people of Nermillion
seem TO act upon the assumption that
the institution established in their
town by the state has become their
local property and that they are priv
LEGGED TO do with it as they please.
This has been their attitude for many
years. The situation would warrant
the state il aDolishing the institution,
and establishing a university course
in connection with the State College at
BTookings. thereby increasing the
efficiency of the institution and putting
i on a level with other states, and at
the same time saving the taxpayers a
large sum of money each year. South
Dakota is overburdened with institu-
tons and this would be a good time to
start a reform in our educational sys-
tem.-Kingsbury County Independent.

We, the people Of the only irst-rate
power Of the white nations moi
engaged in the terrible war, are often
moved to pause and ask ourselves,
Why? The people of Europe are not
thinking about the cause now--it is too
late. They have time now only to
bend every effort toward making the
war a success as 1t pertains to them.
They have no time to think of cause
and effect. But what was the cause?
Unless we say that Germany has gone
into the struggle because of a hidden
motive (and we cannot say at this
stage of the war that she has) the
only cause Of the war was a dispute as
to what 1t vas necessary for one coun-

of another. This thing honor" is the
most dangerous boundary between ma.
tons. A few months ago 1t caused a
threatening var cloud to hang over
this nation and had a more aggressive
man been at the helm of the nation
we would be asking for volunteers in
stead Of watching other countries do
the d~isasreeable task. This matter Of
honor must be given more attention.

may cry peace! peace! but there is

wrongful act, every misuse of anothers

is known as "damnum absQue in

Honesty, VIVA, a Jewel.

In our city is an honest iitsle girl;
heaven bless her. That there are many
others just as honest the writer feels
confident, but at this particular time
we have the one in mind. The other
day she found ten dollars and immedi-
ately, upon learning who had lost that
particular amount, she rushed to the
party and handed over the money. OF
course she was well rewarded.
In dwelling on this subject the ques-
ton arises, is there anything more
comforting than honesty? To be hon
est in cases Of this kind is the best of
rewards, and il is not believed that
there is happier little girl in Minera
Point than the one here specialized.

Several Good Men Mentioned.

Within the last week the names of
several good citizens have been men
toned for the different city offices to
be filed this spring. They are men
whose fitness and ability would, we be-
lieve, rebound to the welfare of the
city. But win they enter the fray, and
if they did would the majority of vot-
ers be wise enough to support them?
