War of the Worlds" are looming up

WHEN PEACE COMES.

Machines of destruction tina, are
laying waste the fields of Europe can
be changed when peace comes, into
machines of construction that will
increase the earth's productivity and
make it easier for all OF us 10 live.
The tanks" the giant tractors now
devastating the German trenches in
northern France. were built to till
farms and dig bitches. and do other
heavy work of an army OF men in 4
short time.
Military science has strengthened
and improved them greatly; but this
improvement will not be lost when
the war ends.
Just as military men have found
ways to build bigger engines by using
modern industrial apparatus as a
basic principle. so the soldiers Of
peace can accomplish even greater
mechanical miracles by applying the
weapons of war to other ends.
From the days of the catapult,
every war has added some little thing
to the sum of human ingenuity. This
greatest of wars promises TO be
greatest also in the legacies it leaves
to the future.

SHOWS UP LOSS
TO FARMERS
By SENATOR NELSON
BY SENA1
(Of MinneSOta.)


| have not time to describe in de-
tail the havoc wrought by the tariff
act of 1918. in respect to the protec-
ton afforded by the act of 1909 to our
various industries. l shall only refer
to one matter, the raid made upon the
farmers. Nearly all of their products
were either put upon the free list or
so greatly reduced as to Ne practically
on the free list. Had it not been for
the European war our farmers would
have sustained great losses from this
change in our tariff. With a wheat
crop Of billion bushels in the United
States and over 800. 900. 900 bushels in
Canada in 1915. our wheat farmers.
but for the great war. would have
had fN-cent wheat instead Of a dollar
a bushel and over. And the same pro
rata difference would have occurred
in respect to oats, barley. rye and fax.
The main crop of the South, cotton,
has practically no competition and
hence is immune from tariff legisla-
ton. 1t is further TO be noted in this
connection. that that part OF the tariff
act OF 1913 which provided for free
sugar on and after the LIST OF May.
1915. was repealed by the act Of April
81, 1916. for by that time the Demo-
cratic party had come 10 realize that
loss of 100000 in sugar duties
would make TOO large a breach in the
already scant duties collected under
their tariff Law.

THE SHAME OF TAMPiCO

Men gathered themselves together
in tribes and later in nations for mu-
tual support and protection. The
mere occupancy Of a common terri
tory does not create nationality.
There must be bond Of co-opera-
ton in defense and in the activities
of life. a moral bond Of unity and
mutual support or there is no ma
tionality.
One of the most serious questions
in the United States today is as to
the reality of Our nationality. One
hundred million individuals. though
they may be industrious and prosper
Gus. occupying a continent do not
make a nation any more than pile
OF sand makes a wall.
There was a time when there ex-
listed deep and passionate American
nationality. One Of the men OF that
day expressed it when he said: Mil
lions for defense. but not one cent
for tribute; another when he said.

THE KNOCKERS,
From the Detroit Free Press,

l know he must be doing we'll,
know he's getting on,
His work has now begun to tell
His struggle time has gone:
He now has passed the dreary days,
The lonesome ones and gloom.
And now is treading better ways
For folks are knocking him.
His skill has caught the eye OF men,
His worth is seen at last.
He's left the throng that knew him
when
His skies we're overcast
He's won the laurel for his brow
BY toll and pluck and vim,
And he is doing real work now.
For folks are knocking him.
The knocker is a curious cuss.
He never starts to whine
Or fling his envious shafts al US
Until our work is fine.
It's only men with skill TO do
Real work he tries to block.
And so congratulations to
The man the knockers knock.

American men and women in Tampico
insulted and imperiled by mob.
They were saved by German and
British ships. The American officer
acted under orders. We are conf.
dent that he would have disobeyed
them if the foreign officers were not
there. But why is it that the Ameri-
can people of this day permitted such
disgrace to 60 without protest
which would have shaken the capital
to its foundation?
Only one excuse is offered for this
shameful episode. 1t is that the Mex
lean populace was so inflamed against
us that had we landed a; force to pro-
tect the refugees the latter would
have been destroyed before our ma.
rines could reach them, 2sc ~
The excuse is as damaging as the
event. If either justice or power had
been displayed in the conduct Of our
government, the Mexican population
would not have dared to massacre
Americans. especially under the guns
Of our ships. t.."

Bryan diplomacy had given Mexico
and the world an unparalleled eX.

hated US but held us in a bottomless
contempt. ~ ro~4 .-.
The Tampico incident is one which,
| if American nationality revives, will
never be recalled without indignant
shame. And we Americans of this
day who allowed it to pass with lit
tie condemnation must bear our share
of the disgrace with government
which has been so anxious to keep
us out of war that it has condoned
insult and outrage to our people and
lost us the respect Of the world.
The sufferings of our fellow Ameri-
cans in Mexico are upon our con.
sciences. but if we are still indiffer.

brains to realize that no people can
continue to enjoy in peace a great
continent and untold riches unless

WILSON. THE POLITICIAN.

President Wilson. before he entered
politics, was active as vice president
Of the National Civil Service Reform
league. The platform adopted at Bal
timore and upon which Wilson ran
for president in 1912. specifically
pledged the following
THE law pertaining to the civil
service should be honestly anG right
ly enforced to the end that merit and
ability shall be the standard of ap-
pointment and promotion rather than
service to a political party"
On October %. 1918, President vii.
son approved the urgent deficiency
bill. to which was attached a rider
specifically excepting from civil SER
vice regulations. deputy internal rev.
enue collectors, deputy United States
marshals, as we'll as many other sub.
ordinates in the federal service.
More was expected of an executive
who for years had advocated the
short ballot, civil service. the budget
system and many other reforms hav-
ing for their object the improvement
of public service.

CAPITAL REMOVAL.
(Pierce County Tribune.)

VI AClSC SOuAly 4AAOAAO.l
The decision of the supreme court
in the capital removal case, deciding
adversely to New Rockford, purely
upon the proposition of law as it
must have been, will greatly clarity
the political atmosphere Of the ap-
preaching election, removing there.
from one factor that would have tend.
ed to promote most bitter sectional
strife and enmity between the people
of our state-and the Lord knows
there is, or has been enough Of that
already in the past twelvemonth. No
one can question the decision Of the
court, as to its honesty and fairness.
If there is any fault to be found it
must be laid to the form in which the
law was passed regulating the amend.
ment of the constitution. However,
we sympathize with the, New Rock
ford people who have been inveigled
into the proposition at great ex'
pense to themselves, but We still be.
lieve as we have previously express
ed ourself, that this capital ambition
on the part of New Rockford was en-
tirely out of proportion to the i'm
portance of the t6wr, or any advan'
tages to be gained therefrom. and
that the taxpayers of the state should
not have been subjected to the prob.
able expense that would have been
incurred. We are satisfied that un.
der normal conditions there never
would have been the rem0test chance
Of the proposition carrying by popu.
lar vote. and, We, believe that the en-
tire movement Was based upon and
SO timed that it would reap the full
benefit of the socialistic agitation
that has been waged against the seat
of government over the heads of the
past legislatures that. according to
these agitators. have disregarded the
rights and welfare of the people.
New Rockford saw in this agitation
chance to slip one over under
the guise of move for good govern.
ment," when in reality there was no
necessity for such a move. A legisla.
ture at New Rockford would be no
more free from the communicating in.
fiuences that are alleged to prevail
at Bismarck than it would be if left
at Bismarck. but il was hoped that
the unsettled condition of affairs in
the state would rebound to the benefit
of New Rockford, and such would un.
doubtedly have been the case. 1t is
extremely fortunate that this matter
has at least been delayed long enough
to allow the people OF the state to
regain their composure and look at
the matter in a fair and impartial
unprecedented state of mind. Then. If
they desire to have the capital moved
from Bismarck, there will be no cause
for complaint. No important legisla-
ton of this kind should be put across
in the form of rider" to other polit-
ical propositions. but should be con-
sidered simply and solely upon its
own individual merits.
