spite Of all the searchlights and aer-
oplanes which are being used in a de-
fensive way. But what would 1t avail?
If Germany we're to blot the entire
city Of London off the map, the sue
cess of her armies would not be appre-
ciably advanced. France has a num-
Der of dirigibles. and more aeroplanes
than any other nation. She could un-
doubtedly send a fleet Of these flyers
to drop explosives upon Berlin, and
could destroy much valuable proper
ty and many lives, but she would still
have to press her great thanking
movement and resist the German at
tempt to pierce her lines.
Sc it is with reference tc the 9TH
er countries. The dropping of bombs
upon a fort which Is being bombarded
preparatory to storm, the Smelling Of
the enemy's camps from the skies. the
attack on war vessels by aircraft, all
these are legitimate military opera
lions because they have a bearing on
the general military movement, and
they lay contribuate materially to
the success Of an army or a navy. But
the Smelling of cities and villages
which are outside the field of mill
tary operations, and which a by no
chance be approached by an army can
have no real bearing on a campaign,
and we do not believe that any gov
eminent is going to launch into a
campaign Of indiscriminate slaughter
for the mere sake of killing.

AIRCRAFT DANGER OVERESTI.
MATED.

In spite Of what has happened up
to the present time, there is every
reason to, believe that the danger to
cities in belligerent countries from
aircraft has been greatly overestimat-
ed. 1t is true that bombs from Zep-
pelins or aeroplanes have been drop-
ped in Antwerp and Paris, and that
in this manner some lives have been
sacrificed and some property damage
has been done. But that there is to
be an organized attempt to destroy
or damage in this manner cities far
from the battle. line Is scarcely to be
believed. London. Paris and other cit
les in the territory of the allies are
taking measures to defend themselves
against such attacks, and while the
opportunities for obtaining news from
Germany are poor. it is to be assumed
that important German cities are on
the defensive against hostile flyers.
But 1t is impossible to conceive of
attacks Of this kind being made a
part of the regular program without
first concluding that the war, instead
Of a struggle to the death between the
armed and organized forces OF the
various nations, has become mere
butchery for the sole sake Of slaugh-
tel. That conclusion is not a reason
able one.
Charges are banded back and forth
that this or that force has maltreated
the unarmed inhabitants Of the ter
ritory through which it marched. The
fact that each government denies that
its soldiers have done anything
of the kind indicates at least a desire
to stand well In the rel of the neu-
trail world. In the face Of these de-
malls. and of this desire SO plainly
shown in a variety Of ways, 1t is not
to be expected that any government
will bring upon itself general con-
domination by engaging deliberately.
systematically and publicly. in a meth
Cd Of warfare which would be both
horrible and useless.
Germany has a number OF large
and powerful Zeppelins, and It has
been said that presently those airships
would SAT- across the sea and deal
death and destruction to London.

seated himself opposite Ma for the

Ma, as she dished out the creamed
new peas. "She had. it made to order
and it cost $12. Don't you think she
looks perfectly elegant?"
She looks mighty uncomfortable"
announced Pa. And what's the mat

ooh. WE'LL" hedged Pa, who had
forgotten himself, II was just making
comparison. OF course you're not

not! But what's Sophie Akin up for?
"N-Not exactly" hesitated Ma.
"she things she is losing her hus-
bands love, now that she is getting
along In years, and-er-plump, and
she, is grooming herself and paying
more attention to her looks so he
won't be attracted by some young girl
and weaned away from her."
Pa leaned back in his chair and
stared. Then he snickered.
"sufferin' sisyphus and blue
snakes!" he gurgled. Who'd q
thought it Of Sophie! And who'd
think it OF Bill! Oh, you Bill!
Say, Dye really mean that Sophie's

that 40-horse-power pipe he smokes?

delude the women to vote against our
candidate" And from that point
they proceed to harsh words. even re-
ferring to the delegates Of the Con-
gressional union as "imposters."
1t would be q dreadful thing II
it should turn out that women vote
just as men do, What an immense
amount Of excellent literature on both
sides would become an object OF de-
risive curiosity to the historian What
portentous anti-suffrage warnings and
what arrogant pro-suffrage promises
would go to the limbo Of wrecked Do
litical prophecies! And yet It may be
SO: for when woman is invested with
suffrage it will not be some Of her
but all of her; it will not be Mrs. Har-
riet Stanton Batch and DR.. Anna
Shaw and Mrs. Gait; it will be your
wife and my wife and Aunt Jane and
the grocer's wife and the cook.

PROPHECY GOES WRONG

New York Times: What all the
wise men prophesied has not happen
ed. and what all the D. fools pre-
dicted has come to pass" remarked
Lord Melbourne after tho passage of
the reform bills. Nothing has been
so universally assumed in the discus
sions over suffrage as that
women would vote as women and not
for the same silly, centrifugal reasons
that inspire men to cast their frivolous
and contradictory votes. The suffra-
gists have taken it as an article Of
faith; they have threatened obstinate
politicians with what 1.-The women"
would do to them when they got the
vote If these politicians opposed suf-
frage now The anti-suffragists have
accepted it as gospel, and painted
dreadful pictures of the appearance in
politics of a new lot of voters voting
as a unit. Both parties have assum-
ed that when "the women" got the
vote the woman suffragists would con-
troll them in the exercise of it, de-
spite the fact that when they get the
vote the women will have it, suf-
fragists, anti-suffragists, and women
not interested either way.
Acting on this general assumption,
the Congressional union, a semi-mili-
tant faction Of the ~suffragists, has
announced its purpose to defeat the
Democratic party for its obtuseness on
the suffrage question and is sending
out emissaries to the states where
women vote to rally them round the
flag. Two Of them, Miss Written
more and Miss McCue. have invaded
the state of Washington. What hap
pens? Do the women voters welcome
them with open arms and promptly
proceed to bolt the Democratic ticket
and vote in a body against the party
which has been blackballed by the
suffrage leaders?
The Women's Democratic club of
King county. in which Seattle is stu
ated, has been aroused to pass resolu-
tons. These resolutions recite that
the Democratic women Of King county
learn through boastful declarations
of two peripatetic suffragettes bearing
the names of W~hittenmore and Nc

THE BETTER FARMING STATE.
MENT.

The statement issued by the direc-
tors Of the Better Farming association
FOR this state is a complete and con-
elusive answer to the charges that
have been made that the association
unloaded a debt upon the state Of
North Dakota. The statement is
signed by men who are thoroughly IA
miliar with the work. who are repre-
sentative and we'll known men. and
who cannot be said to represent any
particular shade Of political or fac
tional belief.
1t would be too much to expect that
this statement, or any statement, will
stop the mouths of those who have
been making wild and loose charges.
There are persons to whom a charge
of any kind, against any person, is a
sweet morsel, to be rolled under the
tongue, inc those so constituted will
not r%elinquish a delicacy of this kind
under IN conceivable conditions. The
men who originated these stories
knew at the beginning that they were
false. and, naturally, they will contin-
ue to repeat them whenever they can
get a hearing.
1t Is well, however, that the state
ment has been made. It gives to
those who are really in search of the
facts. and who are not merely seek
ing an opportunity to SANDER, both a
straightforward narrative, but a
chance to obtain more information If
1t is desired.
1t is unfortunate that a work so
we'll planned, so well executed up to
the present time, and so fraught with
good to the entire state, should have
been made the subject Of controver-
sy, with the sole purpose on the part
of n group to damage and destroy.
In spite Of all that can be said or
done, those things have some intu-
rious effect. There is no exception.
1t is to be hoped that the effect of
this controversy will be slight. for
whatever injury there Is will fall, not
upon the individuals who have been
the targets for a NEAR and malicious
attack. but on the state at large, in
the r%etardation of work which, if
properly prosecuted, will do more than
any other single thing to aid in the
highest development Of North Dako-
tn.
