IT'S COMING ANYWAY.

The Sioux Falls ArgusLeader, conceded to be perhaps the most
influential daily in the state of South Dakota, referring to equal suf-
frage, declares that it has resulted in driving from office all OF the
states great men, rendering it possible for only those mediocre men
who aatter the women to be elected to responsible positions.
DEPRESSING for a moment, we may say that unless all signs fail
in fair weather it is only a question OF time when throughout the
United States women will be admitted to citizenship upon an equal
ity with men. The trend has been sure and certain. 1t IS not nee
essary for one to entertain favorable opinions with respect to equal
suffrage to admit that it will eventually triumph.
But il all of Colorados great men have been driven from public
sie, ne harm could possibly befal the community II the weaklngs
that rcs,an were also sent forth into political oblivion, leaving the
women in sole possession Of the old ship of state.
SO far as our recollection runneth back into the dim and misty
past, Colorado has never had many great men in the true sense. Old
Senator Teller was perhaps it's greatest son, but he voluntarily re
tired a few years ago on account Of advanced age, following a ser
vice Of more than a third of a century. And women have been Vot-
ing in Colorado for twenty years,
There have been a few brilliant men produced among the rugged
hills and stor1n-swept crags of the mountain state, but they were
mere tFansitory dreams and were largely the political products OF
such corporations as the Denver street tramway and the Colorado
Anel and Iron company.
Colorado is experimentation and corporahon-goyerned, 1t is
and it has been (and was before the women became yoters), Tor
ahe most part, ever since the first territorial governmnt was set In
motion, hut we believe it is beginning to pave the way for escape
from its thralldom.
AT any rate, the women have not made it one whit worse.

Men Cheapest Material


mass formation. This, in a general
way, was Napoleon's plan. It was
Grants, too. 1t was Won Moltke's in
the Franco-prussian war.
Back of the discipline is the feeling
in Germany that this is a struggle
of the nation for its life. There is
as among French. But once in the
army discipline assumes control over
patriotism. The latter may be a
stronger compelling force in leading
a charge with cold steel, but the
former thus far has done the work
in steady, machinelike operations
without the exhilaration OF personal
combat.
The Germans evidently believe in
the methods that have carried them
to success in previous wars. Cavalry,
infantry and guns are massed op-
posite the point to be attacked. AT
the appointed moment the artillery
opens, the cavalry sweeps forward
and the infantry prepares for a
charge with the b%ayonet. That vas
the scheme of Napoleon, who said:
"The science of winning battles is
in being stronger than the enemy at
a given point"
Men represent the cheapest form
Of war material. Tactics take no ac-
count of life or suffering. This and
discipline explain the advance Of the
mass formation in the face OF ma
chine guns, %shrapnel and infantry
fire. 1t is merely a question of how
many men can be spent for a certain
position.
Napoleon, after the battle of Doro-
dino, galloped over the field and saw
that the greater loss Of life had been
due to the capture of the main Rus
sian redoubt.
"How many men did that cost?"
he asked.
Give thousand" was the reply.
at was cheap" he remarked. Eve
had to have it."
And the value Of the cheapest form
of wal material-men-hasn't gone
up since Napoleon's time.

What is the reason for this mass
formation Of the German troops? asks
a reviewer in the Minneapolis News,
In nearly every newspaper article
from the scene of war appears the
sentence, THE Germans advanced in
mass formation In nearly every
instance this is followed by the state
mem that the machine guns and rifle
fire moved them down in heaps, yet
fresh soldiers from the real contin'
ued to pour into the gaps until the
enemy retired"
The answer is discipline.
The German army Is founded on
that one Word-discipline. The army
itself Is discipline.
The attack in mass-the throwing
Of immense bodies Of men against
a selected position-is the pet theory
Of the German general staff. 1t won
against France in 1871. 1t has won,
thus far, in Belgium, against desper,
ate resistance.
The German soldier is told that it
takes a thousand bullets to kill or
wound one soldier. He knows that
IL he advances as ordered he may be
shot by the enemy. But he also
knows that If he fails for an instant
in that discipline he is sure to be
shot-by an, officer.
All accounts have agreed upon one
thing-the steadiness of the German
troops in this war under the terrific
fire of modern guns and the remark
able precision with which maneuvers
are carried out under conditions more
deadly than have " prevailed on
battletields in the past. 1t Is disci-
pine that does this.
1t is the history Of the German ar,
my that it lever shrinks from the at
tack in mass formation because it
has seldom or never been made with,
out the reward OF victory. The at
tacks on the Belgium forts were
largely a repetition of the tactics OF
1870. With little artillery prepare
ton for the assault, immense bodies
of troops were thrown forward in

Who OWNS The Earth?

Under the caption of who Owns
the EARTH" Henry M. Hyde some
time ago, in the Technical World
Magazine, proceeded to answer the
question in part, insofar as grants in
relation to the public domain are cor
cerned.
up to twelve years ago congress
had given away the public domain to
railroad and other corporations to
the extent of 226, 900, 900 acres, a bit
Of territory not far In extent from
the total area of France and Ger
many, two countries which ort
between them a population much
greater than the whole population Of
the United States.
aLess than one hundred years ago
the public lands of the United States
embraced one billion eight hundred
million acres. More than one tenth
of the whole--and this Of the choicest
was granted off-hand to railroads
and other corporations. Eighty mil
lion acres went in grant to agricul-
tural and other schools and colleges.

More than six million acres yer dis.
posed Of by the gift OF soldiers scrip
"a large part Of which was bought
up for little or nothing by capitalists
and seventy millions were given
back to several states as swamp land
"The total gifts of the public to
railways by municipalities, states and
nations cannot be accurately stated,
but it is known that the national land
grants alone have aggregated more
than 215, 100000 acres, an area far
exceeding the whole of New England
and the middle states, much of it in
the finest and most fertile regions OF
the United States.
THE total are given by act of con
gress to western roads is nearly as
large as the whole extent Of the orig
inal thirteen states. 1t is larger than
the German empire and Italy COM
bined; larger than the Austro-Hun-
gaptian empire, Switzerland, Den

BURKE AND THE DAKOTA CENTRAL.

In Scareine headings a local paper tells the people of Water
town that Congressman Burke has been especially instrumental n
getting action on the part of the department at Washington In per
uniting the South Dakota Central to run its survey lines through
the allotted Indian lands in the old Siseton reservation from Lake
Kanpeska north.
The Inference may be dedueed from the flashing headings that
this is something new for Mr.. Burke; but if not new for Mr.. Burke,
new for Waterfowl, at any rate.
Those who know Mr.. Burke best would expect him to do exactly
what he did. He has been doing such things for fifteen years at
Washinsten and At home
Mr. burke is one of those men who believe thata thing is never
lone unless u is well done; therefore, instead Of sending an mex
Eperieneed clerk, possibly a rather timid one at that, he goes to the
departments himself to attend to all important matters.
That's one Of the secrets of Mr. Burkes influence at home and
abroad. His intimate friends always know what to expect, and they
have learned to expect nothing excepting what is right and proper.
His hitherto enemies are just learning the truth about Mr.. Burke.
You may malign him politically today and ask him as a constitu-
sut tomorrow for help IN the line Of his official duties and you'll get
AIT.
That's something new, toog In the political horoscope in some
regions 0f Uncle SANS domain.
MI. Burke has been one Of the most useful congressman, and one
saf the most greatly misunderstood on the part Of his political foes,
that South Dakota has ever had at Washington. He will be one of
SITS most influential senator's.
