10 a signed article in the last issue
Of the Munich Herald, to the length
of over a column, Mr.. j. j. Schrag,
of Alsen, pays respects to Teddy
Roosevelt and his war-like utter
ances. The writer seems to be ex-
ceedingly we'll informed on conditions
in, and incidents that have occurred
since the epoch making period in
European history commenced some
eighteen months ago. What he says,
however. will hardly meet with the
favorable view of those who have
been faithfully following in the
wandering tracks of the big bull
moose since its exit as a presidential
possibility in the campaign of four
years ago.

Last week the Walhalla Mountain
Ger Issued No. ! OF Vol. Xxx, which
enables the paper to take a long look
over the ups and downs of a country
weekly covering a couple of decades.
Editor Lee has kept the 'Halla busi]y
on the moy to keep up with the pace
which the paper has set for the town
and it can with c~omplacency review
much that would have been unattain-
able for Wallhalla except for the
boost along the way which the pro-
Sected improvement received from the
M%ourtaineer.

1t would look as if the editor of
the Devils Lake Journal had at least
n trump card left in his hand after
congress failed to confirm his recess
appointment by President Wilson and
which added the prefix Of p. m. to
the name of Editor J.. H. Bloom.
The news that a new applicant for
the Devils Lake p. o. is Hal. J..
Davies. who has been with the Jour-
nal for the past five years and is a
stakeholder and officer Of the publish
ing company, made az much noise
among the bunch as if a monkey
wrench had been thrown into their
old machine.

The constitutionality of the legis-
'3ative enactment of two years ago
which created the office of state fire
marshal is to be tested in a case that
will go to the supreme court from
Devils Lake. The appellant, who
had a frame building partly damaged
in a recent conhagation that swept
the business section of the Satanic
City bases his appeal upon a plea
that the act is unconstitutional in
that it takes from cities the right of
local self government.

LITTLE VIRTUES.

Life is made up, not Of great
sacrifices and duties, but of little
things, in which smiles and kindness
and small obligations, given habitu~
ally, are what win am! preserve the
heart and secure comfort. Common
place virtues are more important
than the vast sacrifices and splendid
heroisms that rightfully demand our
admiration when they occur, be-
cause their need is more constant.

What might perhaps be aptly
termed the opening gun Of the politi-
cal campaign Of 1916, is the official
notice which County Auditor Ole j.
Eide gives to the voters this week of
the presidential primaries which occur
on Tuesday, March 21st, when ballots
of the republicans, democrats and
socialists will be cast designating the
voters choice for five presidential
electors and ten delegates to the
national conventions. On the same
day and at the same polling places
will be held the regular precinct cleo
ton Cor the naming of township,
-Tillage and municipal officers and it
is naturally to be expected that the
double header election should bring
out pretty nearly the full vote of the
county, should the weather be fine.
A careful analysis of the vote cast at
this time will also be made by party
leaders and those who are keeping a
eye open on the next election
which comes along three months later
in June, when nominations for place
on the state and county tickets will
add its full quota to the interest and
excitment which will continue to
grow until the close of the polls at
the general election to be held on
Tuesday November 9Th.

The record Of exports from this coun-

classes Of exports are more diversified
than formerly, OF course foodstuffs
and war material form a large part Of
the export trade. Those which go to

CORNER President Taft is speaking
very frankly upon the everyday prob
lens Of. this country. Among other
institutions held in high regard by the
people which he criticises is the pres
ent system of education. This he
thinks could be improved by founding
a national university and having in.
spection and criticism by federal au-
thorities. In comparison with the ed
ucational system of some countries in
Europe-Germany. for instance-ours
falls short. Perhaps good results would
follow the standardizing Of methods in
schools Of all degrees. However, the
essential thing is to build up a higher
standard of citizenship, and, once this
is attained. the good work will spread
without undue pushing.

The first notable death recorded in
1916 vas that Of the great tragedian
Salvini, who died in his native Italy
on New Years day. In his prime Sal
vini held rank among the foremost ac-
tors Of the world. Thirty years ago he
played i'll this country with Edwin
Booth, taking the part of Othello. In
a visit fifteen years before that he
played in the leading cities. speaking
in q tongue foreign to his auditors.
But the language Of his parts was so
familiar that his dramatic gestures and
tragic tones carried their full force
home to his English speaking hearers.

After near half century Of dis
tinguished service, Lord kitche-
ner merited a more fitting fate
than that which has just closed
his career. That the heroic figure
of many fields in Egypt, India
and South Africa should be sent
to a watery grave by a torpedo
or a mine is one Of the strange
tricks of a war that in many re-
spects is unlike any other ever
waged.-Beaumont Enterprise.

Cash. c,rranz, and the Future.

Now we are to be given the first glimpse OF
the final act of the farce Of "watchful waiting"
Carranza's poverty-stricken government is to
make settlement with the United States, and in
return the Federal Reserve banks, or some sim
liar agency, will be permitted to loan the de facto
government funds on which to operate. This
isn't bribery in any sense, merely neighborly
act to assist the unfortunates across the border.
Back Of it all lies far more weighty response
bility than is involved in helping Carranza out OF
a temporary difficulty. The European powers,
gieefully recognizing the Monroe doctrine, kept
their hands off all through the Mexican turmoil,
from its beginning until now, putting the whole
question squarely up to the United States This
means but one thing, that all claims held BY for
eigners against Mexico will in good season be
presented to the United States for settlement.
II may be that President Wilson did not fully
realize the tremendous responsibility he assumed
for this country when he interfered with Huerta,
and secretly espoused the cause OF the rebels,
but be took that responsibility and the United
States will be forced to abide by his actions or
recede from the Monroe doctrine and see Mexico
dismembered as China has been.
