I'm coming out here to this great
state, which is SO important a part Of
the Ninth Federal Reserve district,

that, while in some parts of the world
at this time we Americans are accus-
ed Of being money grabbers," it is
after all, progress, and not profit,
THE freedom of action, which is
that is our hope and our inspiration.
granted to every citizen under our
constitution, has been the great
source of our remarkable personal in.
itiative. 1t has fostered the building
up offa healthy independence OF
thought. The energy and the natural
environment of our people have en-.
Couraged them to seek efficiency in
their personal lives, and in their un-
dertakings. Nothing else, l think,
could so we'll, explain the great prog
ress that has been made in, North
Dakota, and, in all other parts of the
west during the last twenty-five years.
my first business experiences were
in this state and l know something
of what the earlier settlers had to
contend with when they anne out to
these plains and rolling prairies and
made the first attempt to establish an
orderly civilization. The hope of
progress that animated them has
been splendidly realized in the strong
and commanding position that North
Dakota has today, and in congratu.

achieved, one is compelled to think
also of what they have made posi-.

neaOS, Tor only as tney reason
calmly can they reason we'll.
The sinking of the Lusitania
was an act of war. II must &C.
cordingly be Judged by the
standard of war. From the
outset Germany has violated
the rules of civilized warfare
whenever it appeared to her
advantage. The killing of non
combatants without giving OPP
portunity of escape is on a par
with her violation of Belgian
neutrality, her use of poison
Gus gases and her poisoning of
wells.
But in the Berlin decree of
February 4 Germany announc-
ed her intention of attacking
ing without warning enemy
merchant ships in a"war zone'
covering the waters about
Great Britain and Ireland. This
was formal notice of Germany's
abrogation of one of the rules
of civilized war. Nor must it
be forgotten that Germany
gave specific notice of her in
tention to sink the Lusitania
on this trip.
What legal bearing has the
German warning to intending
travellers on the Lusitania7
None, whatever, if the act of
killing them was itself illegal.
If you gave a man notice that
at a certain time you intend to
shoot him, you do not thereby
justify your act.
AS an act of war, Germany
was justified in sinking the
Lusitania, for it was an enemy
ship and it carried munitions
of war, but che had no right to
kill noncomhatants without
giving them opportunity to
reach safety. 1t was a brutal
and ruthless deed, demonstrate
ing to the world that Germany
means exactly what she saws.
The amazing thing about
Germang is her failure to un-
derstand the viewpoint Of
others, and especially America.
Here was an opportunity bv
chivalrous action to win the
high regard of public opinion
in this country. Suppose, for
example, German submarines
had challenged and stopped the
Lusitania. on the high seas, and
had notified her commander
that his ship would be spared
this time because of it's large
passenger list of noncombat-
ants, but that on its next voy-
age carrying munitions of war
it would be sunk without no.
tiCe.
But Germany sent more than
a thousand innocents to the
bottom with a ruthlessness un-
PARALLEL. Was there any mi
litary necessity''for his?What-
ever the argument and the
quibbling about the rules of the
war game. the act must stand
as a great moral crime. It will
so be judged in the court of
world opinion.
To American travellers who
through mere curiosity or
desire for adventure take pas
sage on British ships for Brit
ish ports, the Lusitania affair
comes as a sharp warning. A
considerable shark of the Anne.
rican victims of German torpe-
does had no real business on
the Lusitania. They took the
risk for no good reason. Even
those who went across in pur.
suit of their Livelihood, might
have gone over in comparative
safety under the American
flag.
These are some of the con.
siderations that must be weigh
ed in arriving at a just estimate
of the Lusitania affair.

SCHOOL CONTESTS

These are the days of school
contests. The debating con-
tests are over, but with the
close of the school year APP
preaching, there are in pro-
gress in the high schools and
upper grades of most cities,
contests in great number in
oratory and defamation, says
the Grand Forks Herald.
The value of the work Of
which these contests are the
climaxes can scarcely be over
estimated. Az it is the climax,
and not the work itself, with
which the general public comes
in contact, the full value of
what is done is often not ap-
preciated. The lad who takes
his place on the platform and
delivers a poem or a prose sell
ection, a little haltingly, a little
crudely, it may be, does not
appear to have achieved great
success. The public is apt to
look for excellence in the fin
ished product rather than the
effort which has gone into the
work. Often there is this ex-
cellence. A glance over the
work being done in the local
schools shows, even among
the grade children, there is
developed a surprising power
of expression, a remarkable
grasp of the meaning of what
has been committed, and dis
elimination in character define
alton which really seems won
derful.
But the important fact is. not
that a few children aCquit
themselves very we'll, but that
many children have passed
through a course of training
which is of the highest value
to them. Attention has been
fixed: d%iffedence has been con-
quered; industry has been sti-
mulated; new meaning has
been given to what appears on
the printed page; and the child
HIS learned something of self
expression and acquired habits
of self-cOntrol, Ali this helps
to lay the foundation of strong
character.
Nowhere in all it's a. tivities
is the great democracy of our
public school system more con.
vincingly demonstrated than in
these contests. The child from
the home of luxury and the
child from the cheap cottage
meet on the school platform on
a basis of exact equality.
Childhood knows no class dis.
tinCtions, no social divisions.
The boy with the patched
trousers is heard as attentively
and cheered as Justify as the
boy who is attired in purple
and fine linen. There is nc
field in which affection is sub.
jeCted to a o killing frost
than in the school room, and
none in which evidences OF
real character receive more
ready recognition and generous
appreciation.
The pupil who is engaged ir
a school contest naturally does
not appreciate it at it's full va
lue. He overestimates some o.
it's phases and underestimate:
others. But the value is there
and the results extend them
selves through much of tn
later life.
