ness North Dakota furnishes a profit
able field. Already several large pot
teries have started investigating the
clay resources Of the state, and it is
safe to say that in few short years
the state will not only be proud of it's
record agriculturally, but will also be
able to claim its rightful place as a
manufacturing state. ~
During the next few weeks exhibits
Of vegetables grown in the state will
arrive at the North Dakota building.
Chief among these vegetables will be
shown the North Dakota potato. This
potato was introduced at the eXposi-
ton early in the exposition period in
no uncertain manner, and in few
short years the North Dakota potato
will be as we'll known and as umiver-
sally used on the Pacific coast as the
California oranges and Washington
and Oregon apples are known and
used in the middle-west. Another
strong statement, but equally true
Nothing is irrigated in North Dakota,
therefore the products OF the state
have a. much swee .er and whole some
taste than those raised under irriga-
ton conditions.
North Dakota is making d record at
the PanamaPacific international ex.
position, that is all to the good, and in
future years she will reap great bene-
fits from her participation in the
greatest Of world expositions. She
is on the map to stay and be reckoned
with. ~

PUBLIC OPINION IN A CRISIS.

Among a people under a govern
ment such as Germany's public opin
ion readily attains virtual unanimity
because it is easily led, directed OF
controlled by small governing class
1t is revealed promptly, expresses it
self emphatically and does not waver
In the United States the conditions
are vastly different. Here public
opinion is entirely voluntary, but va
ries according to differing racial ex
traction and the often conflicting in,
terests of far-separated sections. 1t
may be one thing in one class or sec
ton and quite another thing else
where. Hence the bewilderment even
the indecision and vacillation, often
observed in the politician who puts
his ear to the ground with view
to inform himself as to "the state of
public feeling for the sake of his
own guidance.
Even in a great crisis public opin-
ion in the United States may at first
be rendered more or less illusory and
uncertain by conflicting assertion.
Take, for example, three utterances
delivered by American clergymen last
Sunday. Rev. DR.. Holdenke of New
York, who doubtless fairly represents
German-American public opinion,
said: President Wilson has put the
American government into such pc.
sition that 1t cannot withdraw, yet
4 cannot help thinking that the Amer
lean people at least have sense
enough not to go to war On the

The friendship tour staged by the
Grand Forks Commercial club over
northern Minnesota this week proved
to be a huge SUCCESS. Over 200 bust
ness men in automobiles made the
trip and were accompanied by six
teen-piece band. Over 1850 miles were
covered by the tourists and nine stops
were made. Large crowds greeted
the visitors at each stop and besides
refreshments were provided with var

The early extension of the Midland
Continental railroad from its present
northern terminus, Wimbledon, to
Grand Forks, is forecast by Frank X.
Bull, president of the j. |. Case COM
pany OF Racine, Wis. prominent in
the affairs of the Midland company.
Mr.. Bull closed a tour Of inspection
of the Midland yesterday. Plans for
the extension to Grand Forks were
completed year ago, but the break
ing out of the European war and the
stoppage of loans from England re-
suited in holding up the work. Bruce
Ismay Of Titanic fame is one of the
financial hackers of the Midland, and
was looked to, to sponsor the 'oan in
England. With Winnipeg as the ulti-
mate northern terminal of the line,
the railroad officials are anxious for
the early resumption of construction
operations. The Midland Coltinen-
tai, when extended, will supply con-
venient marketing facilities in a dis.
trict that is not now adequately cared
for said Mr.. Bull Hundreds of
cars of grain will originate at the
various points on the line, and with
this great additional business the
road will be in the best condition in
its history"

FACTION" IN MEXICO.

The widely heralded action OF
the United States in conjunction with
the Pan-American republics looking
to a restoration of peace in lMeXlGo
amounted to mild-mannered sugges-
ton to the nsurgent chiefs that they
get together and hold a peace confer
ence and brought from General Car
rama, even before the note was dis
patched, a not too polite invitation
to this country and the other sigma
turos to the note to mind their own
business. Since the note was dis
patched the only replies receive ed have
been in the form of raids on Amerl'
can territory, and threats against the
lives of Americans in Vera Cruz. SO
signa'ly has this administrations
Mexican policy failed to command
either the gratitude or the respect OF
the ,Mexicans that certain followers
of Villa and Carranza conceived and
actually undertook to carry out Z
scheme to seize a portion of Texas
and annex it to Mexico. This scheme
resulted in the killing of several Am.
erican soldiers. The Carranza junta
predicts that the only answer to the
peace note will be an emphatic NO."
They say that CarranZa feels that he
has pacified most of Mexico and that
he will permit no interference which
would rob him of the fruits Of his
victory Or course, the truth is that
Carranza will never willingly consent
to any arrangement which does not
make him president. He demonstrate
ed beyond all doubt, when the Mag
ara mediation conference was held,
more than a year ago, that he was
actuated solely by personal ambition
and was wholly deaf to all patriotic
suggestion, as well as entirely unwill-
ing to trust to his own election by
vote of the people. 1t is of interest
that the president aas so far ap.
preached an appreciation of the grave
conditions existing in the territory
Carranza boasts of having pacifed as
ito send the battleships, New Hamp
shire and Louisiana, to Vera Cruz.

Wilson. Perhaps president who
would follow public opinion can do no
better. There are so many currents
so many races, that perhaps we have
no national consciousness.
The time for talking has passed and
the time for action has arrived. Our
government should not supinely wait
until pushed to action by an indlg-
nant people" An opposite American
view was represented by Rev. DR.. w.
II. Martin who said: THE United
States ought not to be so stupid as

death OF many persons merely to
avenge the death of two people on

If we are to judge by the express
sions widely quoted, the predominant
sentiment of the American press is
more Or less similar to that of Bish-
Oh Gailor. yet the many newspapers
onoted are actually very few compar-
ed with the whole number of even
important dailies published in the
Tilted States. Perhaps it is not too
much to say that President Wilson
was. even after several days. still in
the dark as to the nature OF
predominant public opinion, and
vet under our institutions the
the president is supposed to
be compelled to await the voice
of public opinion before deciding to
call Congress, the real and final ar
bitter, to consider what action should
be taken. All ths needs to be re.
membered by those who have shown
impati, nee during weeks OF suspense
and who have exhibited still greater
impatience within the past few days.
Even in a great crisis decisive ac-
ton of any sort must necessarily be
delayed in a republic such as ours
There are times when this may seem
to be unfortunate, When our govern.
mental processes may appear to be
intolerably leaden-footed, and when
our free institutions may seem tc

Jefferson once said, discussing the
abuse of the freedom of the American
press, all this is "better than Euro.
pean bondage" and is but "a part OF
the price that we pay for our liberty,

u Cansot Be Detected, Yet Science 10
Confident II Exists.
The ether Of space, which science
Is coming more and more to look
upon as the mother stuff Of all
things, has many of the attributes
Of deity. 1t is omnipresent and all
powerful. Neither time nor space
has dominion over it. 1t is the one
immutable and unreasonable thing
in the universe. From it all things
arise, and to it they return. 1t is
everywhere and nowhere.
It has none Of the finite proper
ties Of matter-neither parts, form
o. dimension; neither density nor
tenuity. 1t cannot be compressed
or expanded or moved. 1t has no
inertia or mass and offers no resist
ance. 1t is subject to no mechan-
ical laws, and no instrument or ex-
pertinent that science has yet de-
vised can detect its presence. 1t
has neither center nor circumfer-
ence, neither extension nor boun-
dairy. And yet science is as con
vinced of it's existence as Of the SOL
id ground beneath our feet.
1t is the only final reality in the
universe, if we may not say that it
is the universe. Tremors or vibra-
tons in it reach the eye and make
an impression that we call light.
Electrical oscillations in it are the
source of other phenomena. 1t is
the fountain head Of all potential
energy.
The ether is an invention of the
scientific Imagination. We had to
have it to account for light, gravity
and the action of one body upon
another at a distance, as well as to
account for other phenomena. The
ether is not a body; it is a medium.
All bodies are in motion-matter
moves-the ether is in a state of
absolute rest.
Says Sir Oliver Lodge, "The ether
is strained and has the property
Of exerting strain and recoil." An
electron is like a knot in the ether.
The ether is the fluid of fluids, yet
its tension or strain is so great that
it is immeasurably more dense than
anything elsa phenomenon that
may be p~aralleled by a jet of water
at such speed that it cannot be cut
with a sword or severed by a ham,
mer. 1t is so subtle or imponder-
able that solid bodies are as vacu-
ums to it and so ~pervasive that all
conceivable space is filed with it.

A Man Of Tact.

TO do the right thing in the right
place is a faculty few people possess.
A steamboat load of ex~cursionists
was thrown into a panic by a singu-
lar cause one day. The boat stop
ped suddenly on account Of some
defect in the machinery, and the
band struck up with misguided
taste a very sweet but doleful tune
in slow time, The people took this
as an omen that their last hour had
come and there was a great uproar,
and everybody began looking for
life p~reservers. But the captain was
a man of tact, and as the band
would not stop he turned on the
whistle and drowned the music,
whereat everybody laughed, and
presently the boat went on.
