in the PHYSICAL world. such is the
truth in the spiritual world. Ev-
cry nation existent has paid in
blood for its privilege to exist.
Every nation. in order to persist.
must be ready to pay again in
blood. So if it be ready. it is the
less likely to be called upon to
bleed. But as its women must
suffer in order to bring forth life
so its men must sacrifice even
their lives. in order to insure the
ration's continuing existence.
The perverSion Of force. such
as has been exaggerated ;uto a
mon$trou> gospel ny people in
This our OWE day. does not Com
trovert this truth: it rather l.nd-
"rs The truth more terribly true.
Nor is there any disposition "a
mongst Us to translate this
truth into monstrous doctrine.
On the contrary. our danger is
lest we forget the truth, an din
forgetting it invite upon ourselv-
es catastrophe.
Too often it cannot be repeat
ed: We bought independence
by blood and sacrifice. in defeats
such as Long Island and Brandy
wine, in endurance such as VAL
ley Forge and Morristown. in
victories such as Saratoga and
Yorktown. We bought unity on
fields of disaster such as Bull
Run and charlottesville. by ter
rihle sacrifices such as Chicka-
magua and the Wilderness. thru
feats of arms such as Appomat-
toX and Atlanta. And every ger
GRAFTON of American freemen must
be prepared to battle. as the Faith
ers did. to suffer. to die. Such
is the price of civilization, such
is the cost of the state.

Such a state might be as uncom-
Portable and wrong-headed as one
controlled 10y al ari>tocracy. or
any other manner Of minority.
| We listen to our minoritieS-
we'd be deaf. if We ,lidn' i've con-
slider their proposals: We expert

sails in modified shape. OF reject
them in whole OF in part. AL
most always the minority do not
get all they demand and feel ag-
'grieved therefore. more or less.
But on the whole the majority,
after instruction by the minority,
after consideration of ways and
means. after finding out what
they want, come to a proper de-
'cisiOn.
Impatient persons get out of
patience with this process. And
mistakes do occur. But of all
the manners of government this
manner best recommends itself
to the sober man. This man.
ner involves much debate. not to
mention vituperation. Bus IL ac-
cords with the nature of human

ism of the right sort may be theor
etically better, actually il is very
rarely so; and practically it cam
not long be trusted to be so.

THAT we have done great deal of

The question of drainage was
one recommended by the All

1t was proposed by it that We have
Ia state waterway commission
which shall have supervision over
the whole system of drainage
throughout the state and shall by
cooperation with the federal gov
eminent and with other states
whose interests may be affected,
accomplish results which shall be

OUR DRAINAGE PRosLEm

Readers of The Tribune were
given the particulars few days
ago of a suit brought against the
state of Minnesota by the State
of North Dakota for the benefit of
the owners of approximately i2,-
600 acres of land in Richland
County, North Dakota, which. it
is claimed, have been inundated
and their value for agricultural
purposes destroyed as the result
Of the construction of drainage
bitches in Minnesota.
The legislature of Minnesota in
1911 authorized the State Drain
age commission to construct an
artificial outlet for the drainage
of land into Lake Traverse and
the Bots de Sioux. The effect Of
this artificial outlet was to flood
cultivated land on the Dakota side
and suit is brought by that state
to recover damages to the amour!
of approximately one and half
million dollars.
The merits of the case and the
outcome are matters to be deter
mined by the court. The phase of
this subject which admits of pop
ular discussion is the unwiSdom
of failing to recognize the treat
mcnt of drainage and water stnr-
age from the standpoint of all the
interests to be affected thereby. In
the case in question it is asserted
that tn" lands were settled. i'm
proved and became valuable farms
under the natural drainage con-
diti"nS. The owners claim they
had a right tn expect that those
conditions would continue. or. if
they We're changed. that whoever
made the changes would take into

WHEN TO CUT ALFALFA

Alfalfa Plants are weakened
when cut too early. At the ka!>-
'sas Experiment Station two
years trial brought out the fact
that alfalfa cut when Ito i'm
bloom and when in full bloom
gave the most hay. Less hay
was secured when the alfalfa was
cut i'll the bud stage and the al
falfa was weakened so that weeds
secured a foot hold. \ few weed.
appeared in the alfalfa cut when
ITO in bloom, but no weeds ap.
peared in the alfalfa cut in full
bloom and when ripe. From the
standpoint Of hay yield and the
keeping up of the alfalfa the time
to cut alfalfa is when between
ITO in bloom and full bloom.

THE PRICE OF CIVILIZATION

An American solder, fighting
| for the Allies, sends his brother
a graphic vindication Of his mil
|itancy. He draws a column, com
posed of drums superimposed up
ION one another, carrying a capital
and standing upon a pediment.
And about the drawing of the
pillar he has written the illus
tratigve sentences:
"CiviliZatiun depends On secur-
ity, which rests on law and order
which is secured by police power.
which is supported by combat, or
Willingness to combat; and the
ipediment of the column is death.
or the risk of death. which is the
risk all men and all nations must
take in order to support the CAPT
tai of the column.
But for force, actual and pot.
enilal. no citizen would be safe
in the streets. But for such
force no woman would be secure
in her home. Read he daily
Prints wherein are recorded the
exceptions against such safe
ty and security. and it will be real
lied how constant and vigiiant
must be the guardianship exerc-.
Used by force in order t" pre-
serve the rule against the excnp-
ton from becoming the rule.
AS society within remains in
tact by virtue of force always pre-
sent to maintain law and order. so
society is preserved from dest'ur
ton from without by force defen-
sive and offensive. actual and
potential. And this force both
within and without, is po>itv"

the service of sentiment and prin
riplr. but it is itself a club. a

mlMoRIrlEs AND mAJoRIrlEs

Every government. whatever its
form, is impeached by those who
are unable to guide it to their
wishes. The most henevolenh
despotism in the world. however
successful will find bitter detrac-
tors who, unable to dominate it.,
complain Of it. And the COM
plainants on opportunity will be.
come actual assailants. Denied
voice. they will take arms. S,

Representative government. on
the other hand. allows a voice to
every minority. And every min
GRITTY has the chance to convert
themselves into a majority. If
they can achieve a majority
they can obtain that for whicn
they contend. And no weapon
of coercion bars them. 1t is
merely required to convince the
greater number to way of think
ing.
Defeated minorities are dispos-
ed to fancy that some hidden force
or fraud. has deprived them Of
victory. They indulge delu-
sion. For i'm the end a minority
have nothing that in represent
alive government can oppose
them except majority. Every
minority are apt to be so fanatica

ness or wisdom or their cause
that. in case they suffer defeat.
they will insist that only some
crookness. or some fault in the
system. can be responsible.
The fault is not in the system.

Moving the weeds in the past

better chance. 1t is hard on the
