Policy Of Negotiation.
''To maintain our national honor by
peace if we can, by war if we must,
is the motto of the president of the
United States.
But before submitting to the chance
and misery of war, true statesman
that he is, he proposes to put the rea
son and justice of negotiation to the
test.
But, say our critics, this policy sat
isles no one.
They mean it does not satisfy those
who would map out a new and un
tried course for this nation to pursue

but they forget it does satisfy those
who believe the United States should
live up to the principles it has pro-
fessed for a century and more.
National Honor.
In desperation for a slogan our op-
ponents try to create an issue out of
national honor.
Now national honor is not the whim
of an individual mind.
National honor is the composite SEN
timent, the composite reason of a
whole people feeling the emotions of
nature and following the dictates of
God
And it is for this reason that 'the
power" to declare war is conferred
by the Constitution of the United
States, not on the individual will of
president, but on the composite rea-
son, the representative decision of
''the congress of the United States"
Some Preparedness Ideas.
The genius Of this country is for
peace. There is no danger of mill
tarism.
We have built our greatness on the
resources of nature and the peace
full toll of our people.
With us war has never been a
choice, it has always been fate.
Like the old Mohawk chief who
loved peace, we would like to throw
the tomahawk of war so high in the
sky that no mans hand could ever
pull it down. But when some other
US bundle of arrows wrapped in
the skin of rattlesnake, we want to
be in a position to send that rattle
snakes skin back stuffed with powder
and with ball.
We deprecate the compulsion but
we recognize the need of the police
man on the beat, the safe in the
bank and the watchdog on the farm
The war across the seas has
brought home to us the fear that SO
long as men are men and nations ma
tions, wars will continue.
For these reasons this administra
tion has done more for our army and
our navy than any administration in
our history.
The Democratic party advocates and
seeks preparedness, but it is prepared
ness for defense, not preparedness
for aggression.
Our National Soul.
These, then, are the principles that
have been asserted and followed by
the president of the United States
during the past two years-that the
United States shall not embroil it
self in European strife, that the Unit
ed States shall endeavor to maintain
friendly and cordial relations with ev
cry other nation and that the United
States shall firmly assert and main
tain and be prepared to assert and

RED RIVER IS
AT ITS CREST

Grand Forks, N. D., April 18.-With
the Red River of the North at an alti
tude of 36 feet above the low water
mark, experts are of the opinion that
the crest has been reached and it is
not believed that a further rise will be
experienced, although the stream may
remain at the present level for a few
days.
The water has now spread over a
vast territory in the vicinity of
Grand Forks and at places has widen
ed to such an extent that miniature
lakes have been formed. At the south
end of the city the water has sub
merged a large number of houses
causing many families to move, and
on the east side the Minnesota ave.
nue. approach to the bridge crossing
to North Dakota is completely inun-
dated.
Easements in the city continue to
fill and in some of the lower sections
over three feet of water has seeped
into apartments below the ground
level. For over two blocks each side
of the river on DeMers avenue base
ments are flooded and practically
every business house on Third street
has been forced to resort to pumps to
prevent stock from being destroyed.
