Turkey. Trouble Breeder.

New York Press: The capacity of
the Constantinople government for
making trouble and d~issension among
the powers is once more illustrated by
the fact hat a German army officer
has been placed in command Of the
garrison of C~onstantinople. Thereup-
on Russia has been set by the ears,
and Russia's ally, France, is far from
pleased. True, British officers are the
chief advisers of Turkey in naval af-
fairs, and Frenchmen have much to
do with the fiscal administration OF
the country. But all this is account
ed merely the evidence that Turkey is
in the hands Of the money lenders.
The command Of the Constantinople
garrison has a very specific and orni-
nous meaning.
The old game OF playing off the
powers one against the other is beine
| played with the same skill as of Ole
| by the porte. On a smaller scale, u
would seem, Turkey is getting ready
to play the same game against tn
allies OF the Balkans. Defeated b!

LIBRARY NOTES

A couple of important motions were
passed at the last meeting of the
board of library directors. One was
to the effect that the public money
cannot be used to buy any sectarian
papers, but If such papers. up to a
standard of literary excellence and
not harmfully prejudiced, are given to
the library they will be given room
on the files. The other motion came
as the result of an application for the
use of the ychildren's room as a meet
ing place.. The board decided that the
library cannot be used for anything
but library purposes, however worthy
the association may be that asks for
lodging there. The Fargo library
finds Itself in an unpleasant and Pc
culiar position. There is no audito-
rum where public meetings of any
kind can be held, a very unfortunate
omission in a library building in
these days, and most re~gretable of all,
it has no store room. Files of papers
and magazines, valuable for reference
and for local history are therefore lost
to Fargo. These conditions are GER
tainly deplorable, and for a city the
size and complete up-to~- dateness: OF
Fargo, will surely be corrected soon.
1t is a strange fact, and remarked
upon before this, that at this season,
/ the minds Of men-and a few women
turn to such pursuits as fishing, and
farming, and camping, all pastimes
and businesses Of the open air and
green fields. Men get out their fish
ing tackle and lovingly straighten it
out and get it in order, clean their
guns and talk for hours about fish. and
game. And many people begin to
yearn for. farmlife, and the "back-to-
the-land" movement comes into its
own. Some people are heard to ex-
press a desire for a claim, or for one
of the abandoned farms of the east

SATURDAY, JAN. IS, 1919.
A SILLY REMARK.

Colonel Wilkinson, formerly con-
nected with the legal department of
the Great Northern railroad, but now
retired to his farm home at st. Elmo,
MINI, made the following remark in
q. speech before the Minnesota Agri-
cultural society in St. Paul:
Very entertaining gentlemen
who never ran Il farm in their
lives leave their class rooms and
desks and rush out to tell US o
to. run our farms and raise our
products. / am afraid that all
these philanthropists will do us
little good. Any real uplift to the
farmer must come from his own
effort.
This is not the first time Colonel
Wilkinson has given expression to
such an opinion. He made practical
ly the same statement at II Of the
Tri States Grain Growers conventions
in Fargo. The fact Of the matter is
that 1t is about as silly n foolish as
was the statement made by j. j. Hill
not long ago that the public school
system of the United States was a
complete failure.
Colonel Wilkinson may not need the
knowledge, the cold, hard scientific
facts that the men at their desks and
the men in the class room, have liter
ally dug out of the soil, at the expense
Of years of grinding labor. The Fo'
rum does not know what kind of q
farmer Mr.. Wilkinson is. He may
have all these facts at first HAND
knowledge. Perhaps Colonel Wilkin'
son is some sort of a wizard who
knows everything about agriculture
by intuition, but thousands upon thou
sands Of men who have spent theil
entire lives farming do not agree
with MIN.

heinous, than treason, says The Du-

thus made n thus met, because it
offers those who made it a chance to
justify it if they can, and the Asso-
ciated Press a chance to settle it for
all time by a fair and open trial.
1.-TWO charges are heard from time

IF the Associated Press is a trust,
then every cooperative organization
in the world is a trust, whether 1T
deals in seeds or hogs or grain or

distinctly a cooperative organization
for the gathering and distribution of
the news of the world-precisely that
and nothing more or less than that.
IL all cooperative enterprises are
trusts. then, n only then. is the AS
sociated Press a trust.

who make it have little knowledge OF

its kind in the world. It is owned by

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Optimistic Untermyer.

Sioux City Tribune: Samuel I'm
termyer, the talented New York at
torney, suggests that in the reorgani-
cation of business methods-and there
seems to be a well defined movement
in that direction heads Of great con-
Germs should make the desire for per-
sonal gain second to the desire to
render service. That sounds much like
the doctrine of altruism which past
generations had reason to believe
would be realized only in the myth
cal millennium Of the dim and, doubt
less. distant future. Still, when J. P.
Morgan voluntarily relinquishes thir-
ty desirable directorships, when the
New Haven railroad agrees to surren-
der it's monopoly of the traffic Of pop
ulous New England, and the Bell Tel
ephone CO. consents to tolerate com
petition, is it unreasonable to assume
that Mr.. Untermeyer is o~ver-optimis-
tic?

THE PEOPLE OF MEMPHIS.

A philosopher and humorist on one
of the New York newspapers occa-
sionally reprints q bit of news which
he considers discreditable to existing
conditions and methods, making no
comment save that which is included
in the heading which he places over
it: Why the Socialists Are Making
Headway.
1t is not the intention to preach an
archy, but a news item which comes
from Memphis might, in some quar-
ter, afford argument for a little essay
on the topic. Why Anarchy Looks
Good to Some People.
. In Memphis, the other day, a rail
way train negotiating a grade cross
ing ran into a street car and killeG
five people.
Mayor L. II. Crump of the city
named appeared to believe that this
was a crime against the city of Mem.
phis; and in his righteous indignation
went to the scene of the tragedy, nc.
companied by a body of citizens. and
as speedily as the deed might be done
the railroad tracks were torn up.
In the absence Of any law saw
sound public opinion, this, doubtless
would have been the end of the mat,
ter. The railroad would have recon,
structed its tracks, but they woult
h1xA hnay1 nnrcfr11ntSl niELn. nI,1~-~ -
below grade. Common sense and RICH
feeling would have prevailed.
But Memphist like all other cities
has it's intricate legal machinery; AM
in consequence, the tracks which ha,
been removed were replaced in thei
former dangerous position, and
whole fight of legal terms were lie
loose upon the community.
In other words, the people Of Mem
phis. headed by their mayor, did
proper thing; but the railroad, whic
was maintaining a nuisance, hid |
the courts. INC was backed in it's in
tention Of continuing to maintain TIL
nuisance.
After the lapse Of years, and afte
large sums of money have been sper
and, perhaps, after other lives hav
been fo~rfeitedthef courts at Mempht
may refuse further to shelter the raj,
road in it's dangerous course. But
the people Of Memphis had been lie
alone, they would have served them
selves rightly and promptly, and sue
forms as temporary restraining OF
der" and "injunction,' and "pendir
d hearing Of arguments" would new
have appeared.
