A GREAT, BLOODLEsS VICTORY

The Forum:-The United States,
peaceful and neutral, has won one of
the greatest and most decisive victor
les that have been chronicled since the
catastrophe of war fen upon the
world a year ago last August.
The announcement that the German
government has acceded to the de-
mands of the United States for a
modification of its submarine warfare
policy is going to be a hard blow to
some folks here in the United States.
It is a complete v%indication of the
stand that has been taken by Presi-
dent Wilson and his government in
the notes that have been sent to Ger
many since the Lusitania disaster.
The German government has recog-
nized the righteousness of the de-
mands of this government and here

MILITARY PREPAREDNESS

In the "hue and cry" that is just
now being raised over military pre-
paredness in this country, why not
place the whole question of adequate
national defense in the hands of a
bureau headed by the secretary OF
wal.
One of the first things that should
engage such a bureau would be the
thorough military preparation of all
main roads, in order that millions of
mel could be modified in a few days.
Another item would be the arrange
ment with every automobile owner,
for the communicating of his al and
all stores Of gasoline at a moments
notice from the government.

sent down by German submarines
without warning and without safety
Of the lives of non-combatants."
Those are the exact words of the
written statement made by the Germ
an government to the government of
the United States at Washington.
This concession by Germany is a
squelcher for those carping critics in
America, who on the one hand pre-
dicted that Wilson's demands were
heading the nation straight for a dis
astrous war, and on the other de-
nounced the president for his "molly-
coddle" attitude.
The M faction was headed by w.
J. Bryan with his "peace at any cost
propaganda. The other was headed
by one, Theodore Roosevelt, who
would have the United States strut
ting around like a bully with a chip
on his shoulder.
Recently the New York World said:
There ought to be a day of
prayer for the American people
to give thanks that Theodore
Roosevelt is not president and
that William J. Bryan is not Sec
rotary of state.
To which The Forum would re.
spond:
"The Lord be Praised"

day there should also be a day OF
thanksgiving to give thanks that there

JEW|sHN0uDA1
OBSERVED IN DICKINSON

The Jewish holiday, Rosh Hoshana,
which is n of their greatest holi-
days, took place this year on the 9th
and 10th of September. Although
there is no resident rabbi here, the
local members of that faith held ap-
propriate exercises at the German
Mercantile hall. Rosh Hoshana is re-
garded by the Jews as the new year.
It is the oldest of all festivals cele-
brated in the civilized world. But it
is unique for it's significance as we'll
as for it's antiquity. The secular new
year (on January ~ is a day of
qualifications; men rejoice in what
they have achieved; it is a day for
sordid inventories. The Jewish New
Years day, however, is a time for
serious thought on the meaning of
life; it evokes pious contemplation of
the difficult and inevasible problem as
to right and wrong and it's appeal is
not that we should get more out of
practical life, but value more gen.
timely, more %truthfully, more morally
the life God has intrusted to us, says
an eminent writer of Jewish litera-
ture, who continues:
Much of the success and failure of
our work depend, not upon u equip
ment, but upon motives. The
Jewish New Years day, accordingly,
is placed by a wise tradition at the
beginning of autumn, when men enter
upon their enterprises and obliga-
tions with zest and zeal. Just then
they need a right Interpretation of
life and a true measure of it's values.
The antique features of the ritual
Of that day express the aspirations
all men feel equally. The trumpet
calls, constituting the central part in
the worship of that day, are appeals
for the moral stir which men should
feel when they contemplate their
experiences and seek for reinforce
ment of their hopes. The calls are
also an appeal to the large enc of
life. Our weekday wishes and
prayers are self-centered and do not
give US a perspective of our relations
and obligations to the community and
fellow men, and Of their influence up
on US. But the New Years day offers
US an occasion to reaffirm our respect
for and trust in Providence which is
the organization Of all lives into an
all-encompassing justice. The Jew
comprehends this as a comfort in the
Ease of misfortunes and as monition
of the success he may have. The
function of the New Years day is
to establish a moral judgment in our
life and experiences.
On September 10 comes Yom Kip
per or the day of fasting and prayer.
Dickinson has about fifteen Jewish
families and many more come in for
worship from Richardton, New Eng
land, Belfield and places farther west,
also from the country north.

The Two REPLIES

On September 7 The Fargo Forum
published the two above replies and
commented thereon as follows:
The Forum publishes tonight two
articles which are in reply to the ar
ticles published in The Forum recent
" concerning conditions on the slope.
One is from the pen of George L.
Nelson, formerly editor of The Co.
operators Herald, and ousted from
that position because, he alleges, he
refused to be "muzzled." The other
is from E. A. Meyer, the writer of
the original article from which The
Forum quoted, and which has started
this controversy.
The articles are in sharp contrast.
Hf.. Meyer cannot refrain from that
unfortunate habit of calling names
end throwing mud, which seems, to be
2 marked CHARACTERISTIC Of many of
the Equity leaders, and which has
done their cause an immense amount
[of harm. MIR. Nelson's statement is
Eeourteous, moderate and SO evidently

honest man that it carries a greaf

NJ Nelson contends that the farm

Egstting q fair deal in the, markets.
but he alleges the "great, majority Of
The farmers; Of the, northwest are
barely able to hold their own" :,
/ Are those the facts? Let's hear
some more about this. Read Mr.,

out North Dakota by all leaders Of the
Equity. Are they stating facts when
they say that the vast majority of
the farms are mortgaged on the hiit?
And is it. a fact that the city man is
prospecting in. a much greater meas
ure than the man in the country?
The Forum will have something
further to say on this part of Mr..
Nelson's argument in tomorrow 8 is

As for III. Meyers reply, despite
the fact that Mr.. Meyer finds it ut
terry impossible to play fair and calls
The Foram a "gang Sheet" whatever
that nay be-, this paper is glad to set
the Fepdy before its readers. Read
this also Sos -
Mr.. Meyer says there are shanties'

AanGes In Fargo, and yet it is the
boa& of Fargo that Il has fewer
paupers than any other city Of its
size.
No "A doubts that there are a
number Of farmers who are having a
hard struggle in the pioneer sections
of the state. There are thousands of
farmers in North Dakota who came to
the state, practically with only their
bare hands, and are winning splendid
homes for themselves, and doing it
far faster and far easier than thou
sands Of men in the cities of North
Dakota. = -, ~
Did yoa ever stop to consider that
fact. Mr. Nelson and Mr.. Meyer?
The man in the city who has no
capital is in far worse condition in
the vast majority of cases than the
man in the country. And the mer-
chants in the city who, according to
MIR. Nelson and Mr.. Meyer. are piling
UP fortunes in jig time, generally
started with considerable capital. And
that capital represented years of toll,
years Of, close application, years of
worry and anxiety, before it was &C.
cumulateds in the vast majority of
cases. 80
Nr. Meyer says that he is not ar
raging class against class. And then
he says:
ut is this mercenary band of para
sites called middlemen that the pro-
ducing class will eliminate"
70 say the least, this is q mighty
loose use of words. There undoubt-
eddy are middlemen who are para
sites, but to class every middleman
as a parasite is lbeling a class of
people who are among the best and
finest and most useful citizens of the
country, men who are true friends of
the farmers and men who, if elimi-
mated, would leave the farmer strand
ed and helpless on a wild, bleak, CITY,
less prairie.
If this is not attempting to set
"class against class" then The Forum
does not understand the English Ian
guage.

but scattered all over the prairie from

So "The Forum has been giving con-
siderable publicity this summer to
certain communities where the farmer
in the country and the city man in
the city are working" not against
each other but in utmost harmony
and cooperation and where the farm
ers themselves told of their prosperity
under this plan?" Well from the
looks of things farmer will do any
thing-once. However, / never heard
of a commercial club or a boosters
club OF bankers convention advocate
cooperative buying by farmers, low
freight rates, lower interest rates or
the Equity Terminal marketing. Why
MI. Forum? Please write up your
little plan in which sheep and wolves
can cooperate to the satisfaction Of
the sheep. It is a we'll known fact
that the business interests both big
and little have fought the equity
movement wherever an attempt has
been made to organize, and when the
equity has grown strong enough to
stand alone-along comes the "city
man in the city" ready to cooperate
| with the farmer in the country, to
hang on a little while longer to the
system of pay as little as possible and
charge all you car get.
It is not necessary to name very
many places where the conditions ]
depict, exist. They are true pictures
(which can be verified by thousands Of
settlers in the west. The same con-
