''In order that the water might be

Minnesota river valley has all and
often more than it can do to take
care of it's own water, reservoirs will
have to be constructed along the
canal. The reservoir water should be
left only when the Minnesota is at

would increase the normal Minnesota
river flow from one to two feet This
increased flow also would be valuable

This is an engineers estimate on in

The need of an accurate survey of

"By the Way"

At Grand Forks. North Dakota,
Mr.. Hughes won applause from S'ooo
farmers when re made this statement:
Weakness breeds insult, insult
breeds war. Honest, firm, con-
sistent, determined defence OF
known rights establishes peace
and respect throughout the world.
The dispatches do not state. but
It is safe to assume that the Republ-
can candidate did not call attention
at this point in his speech to the fact
that President Wilson took this very
stand against Germany several
months ago and won out despite the
opposition and votes Of ia Republi-
can members of Congratulated
Record
It IS doubtful If Mr.. Hughes called
attention to "the very stand" Of Prest.
dent Wilson, because it was entirely
uncalled for-the people remember.
With more or less humiliation, m
the light Of events, we recall our
frank approval Of this very stand"
when taken by President Wilson. We
praised the Executive for his strong
stand and the admirable words in
which he had expressed 1t. We con-
tinued to admire, and approve, AMI
praise, as each mote" showing this
very stand" Of the President was
made public; but, regretfully, we
could not but notice the steadily
softening and melting and disintegrat-
ing Of this very stand" as the months
went on, and the notes" were made
to mean less and less as the "strict
accountability" was replaced by
weasel words"
At last we became Disguised with
this very stand" when months had
passed and the acts which had awak-
.ened it continued. deflantly.
The country has not forgotten any
more than we have forgotten. for mil
lions Of Americans had the same dis
appointment and the same revulsion
Of feeling that we underwent. There
was no need Of Mr.. Hughes recalling
the pitiful spectacle of President Will
sons very same stand" for American
rights. They first became wearied by
the senseless repetition Of demand
each time less forcefully, and then
Disguised by the manifest impotency
of the administration at Washington.
Mr.. Hughes hearers remembered
without his reminder. how this very
stand" won out" when Britain had al =
most swept Germany's submarines
from the seas and had proven to Ber-
lin that its inhuman practices were
not only useless as a war method but
were costing Germany the friendship
Of civilization.
That is the way the Wilson stand
won out"-the demonstration by Ger

Moro Militia to Border.

Much mystery attaches to the order
ing by President Wilson Of an addition
al $4,000 national guardsmen to the
Mexican border. The impression pre-
walls that the administration knows
conditions In Mexico to be even more
menacing than is generally realized,
and suggestions that the Carranza re-
sime Is tottering and about to fall are
again rife.
Tho secretary Of war has asserted
that the ordering OF more militiamen
to the border at this time is wholly
without significance. explaining that
tho order is due to the falling off Of en-
listments and because the guard was
no fully equipped" He further adds
that the training the men will receive
on the border will be highly beneficial.
This explanation is, however, received
with scepticism, for the reason that all
who are we'll informed realize that the
guardsmen could be far better trained
In their respective home camps. where
they would not be subjected to an I'M
accustomed and almost tropical eli
mate; that it is serious menace to
their health to send them to the border
until they have had adequate training.

physically and Of educating them in
the proper methods Of caring for them
selves and protecting their health in

There is every reason to fear that a
tarrible record Of impaired constitu-
tons, serious illnesses and even deaths
VIII result from sending to the border
practically $4,000 guardsmen. most of
whom have had no adequate prior
physical training, and it is regarded as
Uncomfortable that the administration
would have ordered an additional rs, 900
men to the border unless compelled to
do so by some undisclosed grave de-
velopment
