First, with America in the war,
Germany would be in q better position
to quit. The kaiser would be able to
save his face with his people on the
ground that the entire world was then

to go down in history as having en-
acted the under dog role. Sympathy

out analyzing the dogs morals or
considering the fact that he really de-
| serves to be under.
1.-The second. and believe the
likelier reason, is the fact If America
should participate in the war. she
would necessarily participate in the
peace negotiations. 1t is unlikely
your country would be invaded or
| would suffer to the extent our allies
have. Therefore, America would en-

Weakness of Democracy.
young man. answered Lord
Beresford, your nation is democ-
racy. The weakness Of every democ-
racX is that it desires peace above all
else and in it's determination to main
tain peace often goes to absurd
lengths. Democracy is always more
jealous Of its honors and quicker to
resent any question involving Its safety
than any other form of government.
strong, firm handed leader in times
OF stress and SO long as that leader
ship Is successful will follow unques-
tiOningly to the end Of the situation.
I'm this trait OF all democracies, is
found the explanation Of the British
confidence in Kitchener. l have noted
American press reference to the sur
render Of the government to Kitch-
ener.' Nothing could show greater
Misunderstanding of the situation.
There is no dictatorship here. but once
a democracy like ours enters a gigan-
tic struggle, there il as much need of
intensified efficiency as IN a country
which has bowed it's head to the yoke
Of military despotism. To obtain this
efficiency, firm hand vested with full
authority is necessary. Instead Of re-
flecting upon democracy and proving
it q failure. Eng1and's accomplish
ment in seven months of what cost
Germany forty years effort, is the
highest and final tribute to the sue
cess OF democracy.
Certainly IL any proof is needed of
the baselessness Of Germany's charge
that England wanted war. it is found
in the situation in which Kitchener
and admiralty have met and over
come. England was never more UNI
prepared on land or sea. Had we ex-
sea trade routes would never have
been possible.
Deceived by the intensity OF our
desire for peace, we were at the out

Dismissed Methodist Professor
May Stir Up Coming
Conference

Fargo, Sept. 27.-Wesley college
affairs are due for an airing before
the annual North Dakota Methodist
conference when that body convenes
at Fargo. on October 18th.
The dismissal last summer Of Rev.
s. F. Halfyard as a member of the
Wesley college faculty has stirred UP
strife within the Methodist confer
ence, and it is quite we'll understood
that the forces within the conference
are being pretty well divided as be
tween the socalled Halfyard men and
the Robertson men.
The fight is directed against Presi-
dent E. P. Robertson, Of the college,
and the indications are that it will
be a most spectacular affair, if the
Halfyard following goes through with
the program as at present outlined.
Another feature Of the Methodist
conference will be the selection of
two new district superintendent.
Rev. G. A. MacNainara district super
intendent of the Fargo district, and S.
A.. Danforth, superintendent OF the
district, are the superin-
tendents who have completed tine sta
tutory tenure of service in their res
pective districts.
1t is expected that there will be an
interesting contest on for both posi-
tons, with Bishop Quayle Of st. Paul,
who presides over the conference, as
the deciding factor.
Among the men prominently men,
toned for appointment are J. G.
Moore of st. Thomas, J. G. Morrison
Of Dickinson, Frank Hollett of Cakes,
and WI j. Hutchinson of Fargo.
Delegates to the general Methodist
conference also will be selected at
the coming gathering. Three repre-
sentatives are chosen, and the avc'Te1
