TO MOVE.

s Are conditions growing better in the
EUnited States?
{ The answer is to be found in a sim
tple statement of fact, to be found in a
t~recent issue of the American Railway
Association Bulletin.
{ On Aug. 1 the net surplus Of idle
Ecars on the lines of the United States
kand Canada was 1866, compared
with 226,541 on July IS.
This means that during a period OF
Effteen days there was need of 29,S76
Ecars more than the number which had
gsuf1ced during the earlier part Of the
Eyear.
u Nor are these figures to be accepted
las complete. They not only show what
Ehas been accomplished, but they cor
6rectly indicate a strong tendency
(which, in all probability, will not be
.k~checked.

WAR AND

When the public schools are re-
Nopened in Fargo next month, those in
Echarge should be prepared to give the
p~children of this city an accurate
knowledge of the general war raging
habroad.
Not since our own Civil wal has
| there been a conflict of such import
ance to this country. World history
is being made daily, n the maj of
/ Europe may even change. All over the
globe, interest in the progress of the
Fgreat contest. is intense. In the mind
J Of the average boy and girl, not to
mention the mental condition Of the
7 average adult, the situation is vague
! and doubtful. The teachers should be
able to give til pupils a clear, COM
s~prehensive understanding Of the entire
outbreak n its results down to date,
land the knowledge would be received
with eagerness. 1t might even spread
eto the elder members Of the families.

Russia got any stronger and before
Germany's only ally was beaten.
5. Why did Germany attack
France? Because she had to. Ger
many would have been glad to re-
main at peace with France, and tried
to get France in promise to remain
neutral. But France would not
promise. There was nothing to do
but to treat France as an enemy.
6. Why do Belgium and Holland
sympathize with France? Because
they hate and fear Germany. Belgium
and Holland lie between Germany and
the sea. Germany wants both these
small countries, with their great sea-
ports and their important strategic
positions. If Germany wins the war
she will get them both.
7. Why did England join? Because
the very existence Of her empire was
at stake. Germany for years has been
arming against England. England is
a thorn in Germany's side at every
turn, and a bar across her ambitions in
every quarter Of the world. Germany
can become a world-empire only by
SCATTERING the British world-empire
and gathering up the pieces. With
Belgium and Holland in Germany's
hands, England's doom would be seal
ed. Therefore the moment Germany
threatened Belgium, England had to
either fight or surrender all hope Of
future power and security.
8. Why does Italy not join? Partly
because she hates Austria. Chiefly be-
cause she believes Germany and Aus
tria will be beaten. She does not want
to be punished by the victorious ma
tons, especially when she has nothing
to gain by a war at best.

The Independent Newspaper.

Chicago Herald: Now and then n
sincerely asks, What is an ~'independ-
emit newspaper" The question is per-
tinent. Here is The Heralds answer:
An independent newspaper Is one
that realizes that no party or other
combination of men has a monopoly
of all the fruitful ideas and high prin-
ciples.
It is a newspaper that deliberately
preserves it's freedom to stand for
what it conceives to be the right
wherever it finds it-no matter what
label 1t may bear.
It Is q newspaper that insists on
finding its opinions in the mental pro-
cesses of it's makers, in contact with
the realities of life, instead of having
them cast in the molds of the official
pronouncements of partisan chiefs.
It is a newspaper that makes no pre-
tense of infallibility; that shirks no
issue where it believes a vital issue ex-
lists; that declines to be drawntnto
personal, partisan or political contro-
versy on the mere assertion of inter-
ested parties hat a great issue Is in
volved. .
But over and above all this the in
dependent newspaper seeks the high
err ground" Of agreement between OPP
posing factions that are sincerely
struggling for the public good.
A good French priest once said sub
stantially this-we quote from mem
ory: 81 care not to argue with my OPP
ponents. / care only to be united with
them in a higher synthesis.'
Always to seek the higher syn
thesis" that will unite all those who
stand for the public good in a com
mon effort.
Always to try to perceive amid the
fret and fury and inconsequentialitS
of faction some higher ground thai
embraces all that is vital and patri-
otto in the views of all parties;
Always to proclaim this higher
ground when once it is clearly per
lceiyed and to endeavor to rally good
citizens to 1t by all means within tt'
power
That is the really independent news
lpaper-the only newspaper n car
make the title a true badge of honor

n GERMAN SIDE.

There are two sides to every ques-
ttion. In the first flush or indignation
land horror at the fearful cataclysm
tthat has engulfed all Europe, the Am
Ferican people as a whole haVe been in
kcIined to place all the blame for this
} war on Germany, and its kaiser, whose
factions undoubtedly prectpitated the
fdisaster.
| The German imperial chancellor, DR.,
| Won Bethmann-Hollweg in an offciaI
! statement issued last Friday anc
(which has just reached this county
claims that it Is a struggle for exist
lance on the BART of the German people
who are threatened by the eve crowd
Ting slavic hordes from Russia. "
The chancellor makes this appeal:
at is with heavy hearts, that we
see England ranged among our o.
pouents notwithstanding The close
& ties of blood and culture between
England and Germany. The for
mer placed herself on the side Of
Russia, whose instability and
barbariC insolence helped this war
in order to humiliate and suppress
the German race by Russian Pan
= Slavism.
I'VE expect that the sense of
Justice Of the American people Will
enable them to comprehend our
situation. We invite their opinion
as to the one-sided English repre-
sensations and ask them to eX-
: anime our point Of view in an I'M
prejudiCed way.
THE sympathy Of the American
nation will then lie with German
culture and civilization, which Is
fighting against a half-Asiatic and
slightly cultured barbarism."

belief Is that they will remain
