Revolvers

A revolver is nickel-plated substitute for bravery. which has practically driven the origi- nal article out of the market.
 The revolver gives a puny man with a < brain and the pluck of a grasshopper a lOO-yard reach and makes him more deadly than a Sioux Indian. There was time when this country had no dangerous animals. eX- cept bears and wolves, and life was safe, except on the frontiers but now vast hords of l6-year- old boys who use their skulls for a dime novel bookcase, roam the streets with cigaretts in their face and portable cannon in their hip pockets. producing obituaries with the skill and en- thusiasm of a cholera microbe: while it is at all times possible to meet a personal enemy who has been chasing you for a week and who is reluctantly compell- ed to defend himself when he catches you by filling you so full of lead that your remains will require eight pall-bearers. Re- volovers are now so generally used in debate, in domestic quar- rels and repartee of all sort sthat 5000 Americans die of them each year, it is said.

Petitioners For Peace

Never before in the history of the peace movement has there been such a petition as that which the school children of the United States recently presented to the heads of the ten warning nations through their represent atives at Washington. It was two and a half miles long, and carried.the names of half a mill ion young people. Miss kathe- rine Devereux Blake.s a New York teacher, suggested the plan, and signers in all parts of the country have supported it. The petitioners signed them selves the children and grand children of your former subjects and begged that the differences of the warning nations be sub mitted to The Hague Tribunal. for the sake of the helpless children of Europe and Asia, who are being deprived of their fathers and their education, and who are being irreparably de- graded by the hideous conditions created by war" Even though the petition have no direct in- fluenced in shortening the con- test, there is an educational value in it that is not lightly to be dismissed.

Tell A Good Thing.

The state of North Dakota has begun to put into operation a plan which should bring thou sands of new settlers within the next year. The legislature has appropriated $60.000 for the promotion of immigration in the next two years. R. F. Flint, commissioner of agriculture has given an impetus to the plan by asking the cooperation of all the country newspapers in the state to induce their readers to write personal letters to old friends back home" Those farmers who are well situated and who prospered are urged to write their friends and relatives in the older states, in the cities and in Europe, too, telling them of their success, of the resources of the state, how they raise corn, clover, alfalfa, cattle and hogs and in fact. to try and induce those friends to break away from the cities and the older communities and settle in North Dakota.
 The plan seems to be a good one and doubtless will result in a great gain in the population of North Dakota. But the plan need not be confined to that state alone. Any prosperous rural community can benefit it. self if it's energetic men and women will help to spread the gospel of country life. Almost every one of our readers can think of some friend or relative now struggling along in some town or city who, if transplanted to a modest farm. would be health fer happier and more prosperous than they are at present. Let our readers try the North Dako- ta plan. Write to your friends, tell them what you are doing and what you mean to do. point out to them that farming today is not what it was 40. 30 or even ten years ago. Write to your old home town newspapers and let your old friends and neigh bors know how we'll you are get ting on. Pass a good thing along. You will be doing your friends favor and you will be helping the community.

The Mexican Case

Ever since the refusal to recOg- nize Huerta, the only probable alternative to the course actually pursued by the United States has been war of a decidedly more serious sort than that with Spain in 1898. This is the point that critics of the Presidents Mexican policy usually gloss over. Possibly the refusal to recognize Huerta was a mistake. Certainly none of his would-be successors seem to equal him in ability.
 Irrespective of that question, the highest interest of the Unit ed States has consisted in avoid ing war by every tolerable means and that interest the President has unflinchingly pursued.
 For two years the situation there has been irritating in a high degree; in fact, beginning badly it has pretty steadily grown worse sliding down into mere chaotic welter. To point that out and to imply that it brands the Presidents policy with failure is easy enough but there is no probability that the President could have improved the situation except by military conquest of the country: and there has never been a time when the object was worth the price.
 To put the case fairly, criti- cism of the Presidents course should be accompanied by frank acknowledgement that the only probable alternative to that course was war on the largest scale since 1865. Put in that way, we have not the least doubt that an overwhelming majority of the citizens would uphold the President.
 War with Mexico is not merely a question of defeating certain bands of revolutionary troops. The question of setting up and continuing a government suffi- ciently powerful to maintain order throughout the cnuntry is implied; and that, again. probab- ly implies more or less benevo- lent military despotism. with a considerable standing army at it's command.
 In short, the probable alter native to the Presidents course has been not only war but Uncle Sam in the role of DiaZ.

The First Killing

oe ASAhAShhDSA, yoo WI S a boy, the first time you took the life out of one of Gods crea- lures, don't you?
 You were about ten. Your dad had given you nickle and you went straight to the book store and bought a pair of sling shot rubbers. you fashioned a handle out of a small forked limb cut the tongue out of your sis ter's shoe to make the leather You connected the handle and rubbers and leather with a string, and you had 'niggersh ooter" complete!
 Then you went out into the back yard to test it; you put an iron slug which you found back of the blacksmith shop in the leather. pointed the handle to- wards the sky over the church, pulled the leather clean back to your ear and-zing! the slug faded from sight over the church.
 The "niggershooter" was per feet. You sneaked out into the orchard and slipped around un- der the trees, and finally sighted a target.
 It.was in the early spring and the sun was glistening on the raindrops on the new green leaves of the apple tree after the shower.
 A robin was pouring forth in song the joy of his soul for his mate in the nest below. and the four eggs that would soon hatch into brood with hungry mouths to fill.
 And you sneaked up under the tree, sighted the singing bird through the crotch of your wea- pon. and with another of those iron slugs, let fly.
 The wounded robin came hut- tering through the limbs to your feet, and his wife went off her nest and alighted in a nearby tree and scolded.
 Remember the wave of re- morse that swept over you as you saw the poor red-breast at your feet. gasping for breath. and his life-blood gushing from the wound with every heart beat?
 You hurried to the house and got a cup of water and tried to revive the bird by washing the wound and sprinkling water on his head. didn't you?
 But the robin died. And you dug grave under the apple tree and put the dead bird within, carefully smoothing the feathers over the hole in his breast. and fitting a board over it so the dirt wouldn't muss it up.
 And you remember the lump in you throat as you hid the ''niggershooter" behind the sack of bran in the feed-bin, when you heard the dead birds mate still scolding in the apple tree.
 And for a long while you car
