trust the United States to deal Justly
with her in the consideration of any
changes that she may propose in the in
ternational rules that govern the taking
of prizes. The more generosity she feels
in this matter the grea.er will be the
glory which she will derive from it. She
has raised a question which is now re-
ceiving serious consideration, namely.
whether the introduction of the subma-
rine necessitates any change in the rules
governing the capture of prizes.
German Position Untenable
'The position seemingly taken by Ger
many, namely, that she is entitled to
drown non-combatants because they ride
with contraband, is an untenable posi-
ton; the most that she could insist upon
is that, in view Of the introduction of
this new weapon Of warfare, new rules
should be adopted-separating passengers
from Objectionable cargo. If the use Of
the submarine justifies such a change in
the law Of blockade as will permit the
Gordon to be withdrawn far enough from
the shore to avoid the danger of subma-
rine attack, may it not be found possible
which passengers will be excluded
from ships carrying contraband, or at
least from those carrying ammunition?
1t would require but a Slight change
in the shipping laws to make this sep
aration and belligerent nations might
be restrained from unnecessarily in
creasing the contraband list if they
were compelled to carry contraband on
transports as they now carry troops
Personally 1 would like to see the
use of submarines abandoned entirely,
Just as l would like to see an aban-
comment of the use of aeroplanes and
Zeppelins for the carrying of explo-
sives, but l am not sanguine enough
to believe that any effective instru-
ment of warfare will be abandoned as
long as war continues. The very ar
guments which the advocates Of peace
advance against the submarine, the
aeroplane and the Zeppelin are adj
vanced before them by those who con-
duct war. The more fatal a weapon
is, the more 1t Is in demand and 1t is
not an unusual thing to see a new in
strument of destruction denounced as
inhuman by those against whom it is
employed, only to be employed later
by those who. only a little while be-
fore, denounced it.
Our NaturaIized Citizens
The above suggestions are respect
fully submitted to those Of German
birth or descent and they are submit
ted in the same spirit to naturalized
citizens from other countries. To the
naturalized citizen this is the land Of
adoption. but in one sense it NAV he
nearer to him than it is to us, for those
who come here are citizens by yolun-
tary choice. while we are here by ac-
cident Of birth. They may be said to
have paid a higher compliment to the
United States than we who first saw
the light under the Stars and Stripes.
But, more than that, it is the land Of
their children and their children's chill
dren, no matter for what reason thew
crossed the ocean. They not only
share with us the shaping Of our ma
TONS destiny. but their descendants
have part with ours in all the bless
ings which the present generation can.

A Shallow Politician.

(LoWeII Courier Gazette
We cannot regret Mr.. Bryan's deci-
sion to go. A we'll meaning man and
a man of most honest convictions he
has never been otherwise in our iudg-
ment than a shallow politician, gifted
with snowy sort of platform elo-
quence and very little else. His post
required something beyond mere good
intentions, clean habit of life, and
sincere personal piety.

This conflict is, doubtless, one of the
birth pangs Of Democracy. The future
will see, better than we, that the rights
of the common people are being estab

freedom of choice and liberty of action

ence to rules, howsoever wisely for

archs is being shaken in these days.
The throne of despots is tottering. Mill

The common people are winning.
81 Great catastrophies have often
ushered in moral revolutions. Frivolity
fees before the face of sorrow. We have
had an era of luxury. almost sensuous-
ness. The war is awakening us to some
of the realities of life. Death, destruc-
ton and restitution reach into the depths
of human being. The brutalizing effects
OF war are accompanied also by humaniz-
ing effects. Terror, pain, anguish find no
adequate support in the impotency OF
flesh. When men suffer, then men. face
to face with eternal verities, look for the
great refugs of the ages, seek the things
which abide.
This is a day Of religious awakening.
Many tokens in our own, and in other
lands, give abundant evidence. Great re-
vivalists are heard; the people resort to
the places of prayer; sacrificial gifts and
sacrificial deeds appear In every nation.
France has become steadied. purified and
imbued with earnest purpose; England
and Germany alike. though foes. have
recourse, each in their own way. yet

Six To Ten Cows
For Small Farm
Various Factors Determine The Num-
Der of Cows 1t Is Wise
to Keep
(By A. J. M'Quire.)


The extent to which dairying should
be conducted on the farm depends up
on different conditions, such as the
size of the farm, the amount of help,
number of other stock kept, and, it
might also be added, the necessity
of making all the money possible.
When a farmer is in debt or has
needed improvements to make, the
greatest number of dairy cows that
can be fed and cared for properly on
the farm will bring the largest and
surest returns.
On small farm a man can milk
from six to ten cows in connection
with the farm work and this number
may be increased in proportion to
the number of boys and girls to the
family. A farm boy who does not
learn to be a good mixer and who
cannot be depended upon to get the
milking done regularly and on time,
loses the better part of his farm
training. While the milking should
not be the women's work, it is not I'M
womanly to be able to help with the
milking when necessary, and the
strength of body that comes from this
wholesome work and the knowledge
which it gives of a most important
factor of farming, should make it a
desirable thing for every girl brought
up on the farm, especially when a
family needs money, which often can
not be made except througs the keep
ing Of more cows.
On large farms, when considerable
other stock is kept and various prod
ucts sold, the number of cows MIXED
may not be SO important, but on the
small farm, and especially in the
northern timbered section of the state
where the farm must be made to pay
with from twenty to forty acres I'M
der the pillow, and frequently less
there it is highly important to keep
as many cows as the farm will pro-
vide feed for.
By feeding the crop to good dairy
cows, its value may be increased two
or three times over what it would be
if sold direct from the farm. Crops
marketed in the form of butter-fat
bring higher prices than when sold
as crops and when the crops are fed
the land can be MANFRED, and this
means large yields, which are also
necessary on the small farm.

THE KNOCKERS PRAYER

Lord please don't let this town
grow. I've been here thirty years
and during that time I've fought ev-
erything in the way of public improve
ment. I've knocked everything and
everybody, no firm or individual has
established a business here without
my doing all I could to put them out
Of business. I've lied about them,
and would have stolen from them if
I'd had the courage. I have done all
| could to keep the town from grow
ing and never have spoken a good
word for it. I've knocked hard and
often. I've put ashes on the chill
dren's slide and I've made the marshal
stop the boys playing ball on my va
cant lot. Whenever | saw anyone pros
pering or enjoying themselves I've
started reform to kill business or
spoil the fun. I don't want the
young folks to stay in this town and
l will do all can by law, rule and
ordinance to drive them away. 1t
pains me, O Lord, to see that in spite
of my knocking it is beginning to
grow. Some day I fear / will be called
upon to put down sidewalks in front
of my property and who knows but
what I may have to keep up the
streets that run by my premises. This
Lord, would be more than I could
bear. 1t would cost me money though
all I have was made right here in
this town. Then, too, more people
might come if the town begins to
grow, which would cause me to lose
my pull. I ask therefore to keep
this town at standstill, that I may
continue to be the chief. Amen.

WHAT COUNTY OPTION MEANS

The Minnesota county option law
will take effect as soon as it is signed
by Governor w. S. Hammond, but
it will not eliminate any saloons un-
til they are voted out by counties.
The machinery for this process is
simple.
When a petition, signed by % per
cent of the voters of county, based
