Tho war thus far has demonstrated
to France that she can defend herself

has shown her that she can maintain

The British empire is peculiarly or
ganized. With the United Kingdom
as its center. its possessions are dis
tributed all over the globe, and in
cluded among them are principalities,
protectorates. crown colonies and
self-governing republics. where there
are represented a multitude Of races,
languages. religions, traditions and
customs. If one were required to or
ganize cohesive empire out of such
discordant elements he would be apt
to pronounce the task impossible. Yet,
without plan and without purpose, the
British empire has grown out of the
necessities Of the case until it is as
we find it, and in response to the
drum-beat in England there have
come voluntarily and enthusiastically,
men, and ships, and ammunition and
money from Canada, from New Zea-
land. from Australia, and from India,
while South Africa, under the leader

war Of Its own on behalf of the en-

provinces from the en-
envy. There is, therefore a solidarity
In the British empire which is based,
so far as many millions of its people
are concerned. on sort Of dual senti-
ment of intense nationalism locally,
and equally intense loyalty to the en-
pire itself, sentiment which outsid-
ers find 1t difficult to understand. and
which those who share it would find
1t difficult to explain. It seems evil
dent that in victory or in defeat the
various sections of the empire will be

JOHN BURKE1s OPPORTUNITY.

1t Is stated on what we believe to
be reliable authority that several Of
the democratic leaders Of North Da-
kota have urged former Governor
John Burke to become a candidate
for United States senator, and have
offered, as the price of his acquies-
cence, to permit him to name the
rest of the state ticket.
OF course it is one thing to make
offers of this kind, and another thing
to deliver the goods. However, it
may be that in this case such q COM
pact could actually be carried out On
the whole, the democrats have not
been very successful in proselyting in
North Dakota. Burke was elected
governor. it is true, and Wilson was
given tho electoral vote fthe state,
but in spite of all the effort that was
put forth to capitalize the conditions
which resulted in these incidents into
material out of which a really effec-
tive party organization could be built
in this state, with backing of votes
that could be depended on through
thick and thin, those efforts have fail
ed. Hence the prospect of being a
democratic nominee is hardly attrac-
tive enough to cause any great strug-
gle. except in occasional cases where a
man is willing to offer himself up as
a sacrifice on the chance of being
suitably recognized and rewarded
when the federal pie is passed.
Hence, the present offers to Mr..
Burke the opportunity of lifetime.
In all probability he can have the
nomination for the senate without op-
position; and in all probability he
could actually name the rest of the
ticket. In all probability most of the
democrats who do not declare them
selves to be republicans-for primary
purposes-would march to the polls
and conform all these selections But
just what good that would do any
body we are not at all certain,

CAVALIER COUNTY
SHOWS GOOD GAIN
While Increase is not Enor-

is Prospering.

iages and towns at the time of the
taking of the assessment show q gain
IN population in the past five years.
just completed being 1911 az against
1853 In 1910. The gain is but 112,
but this when consideration of the in
roads which the movement of the
young people Of this county to Mon
tana, the Canadian northwest and
points on the Pacific coast, is one on
which We think there is reason for self
congratulation and an even greater
gain may be looked for flve years
is taken. None of the towns can be
said to show an appreciable gain when
nEures which appear below are given
q careful analysis and the gains in the
rural districts come from those Soc
tions Of the county which have more
recently opened for settlement. There
appears to be two exceptions to this
rule. however. one in Dresden town
ship which in it's gain from 572 FIVE
years ago to 676 this spring, leads in
growth over any Of the townships Of
the county. Directly opposite is the
condition In Seivert township, in the
extreme southwestern corner Of the
county which five years ago had a
population Of 800 and now shows as
its total only 2o7. In Waterloo the
strange coincidence Is found OF the
figures Of the census Of this year, be-
ing tie with the figures Of 1910. The
civil township Of six miles square with
the largest population within its area
is Mt. Carmel, with sos, this is of
course by the leaving out Of Linden
with $40, which includes the town Of
Hannah. The township of Olga with
its lead Of $50, of course Is to the front
of all but consideration must be given
to the extent Of its area. which is
double that Of any other township in
the county. The census figures for
1915 are given a greater interest by
the comparisons presented below CIV.
ing the enumerations taken in 1910
and also fifteen years ago in 1900. In
presenting these figures we believe
that it is safe to predict that both the,
urban and rural population Of Cava-
lier county will show an appreciable
gain when the next national census is
taken in 1920.

A writ Of habeas corpus was secur-

D. v. Brennan for Stanley. which on
a hearing before Judge c. w. Buttz,
was quashed. Several witnesses testi-
fed Stanley was sober. while some
held he was intoxicated.
Taking the fight still further q writ
OF habeas corpus, signed by Judge
Burke Of the supreme court, who is
spending the summer at the lake, was
secured by Stanley. Saturday hear
ing will be held at the court house on
this writ when a more determined ef-
fort will be made to free Stanley.

THE WAR AND NATIONAL
SOLIDARITY.

Aside entirely from its military as
poets, the present war presents some
intensely interesting problems in re-
lation to the political development.
That the war will have a marked. ef-
feet on the boundaries of nations is
almost certain. The victory Of one,
side, OF course, means the reduction
Of Belgium to the position of a Ger
man province, the annexation of much
or all of Serbia by Austria, the trans
fer of some of the French and British
colonies to Germany. and the Terton-
ic domination of the entire Balkan
district. The success Of the other
party means the restoration of Bel
gium to its status as an independent
nation,- thes removal of Turkish gov
ernment from Europe, the permanent
loss to Germany of her colonies, the
restoration of Alsace-Lorraine to
France. the loss of territory by Aus
tria to Italy. and the creation of more
stable conditions in the Balkans.
All this is interesting. but it is quite
as interesting to speculate on what
the war will mean in it's influence on
the internal affairs of the great ma
dons which are involved in it.
What Of Germany? How will the
war affect her? If Germany wins
the effect will undoubtedly be to give
fresh impetus to the military caste
which has, until now been the domi-
nant element in government there,
but which was being placed more and
more on the defensive by the demo-
eracy which was breaking through the
barriers which impeded it's progress.
German defeat, on the other hand,
would be blow from which militar-
Ism could never recover, and we might
expect the democracy of the nation
to assert itself to some purpose.
Austria Is an imperial accident,
composed Of dissimilar races held to-
sether temporarily by pressure from
without rather than by any cohesive
forces within. The utmost that can
be expected Of victory in this case is
that it will tend to postpone the dis
solution to which this Heterogeneous
and unwieldy empire seems doomed.
Russia, slow and gigantic, is the
youngest in point of development Of
all the great nations With form Of
government the least democratic of
All. there exists among her millions
spirit which, being awakened, may
astound the world by the rapidity
with which Il will take on the germs
of modern government. War is an
