Carlyle on War.
Herald.C Courier.


Thomas Carlyle's ideas regard
ing war as set forth in "Sartor
Resartus," doubtless will appear
a trife old-fashioned to some
people OF this day and time. Ney-
ertheless, they are and always
will be worth recalling and con-
siderlng. Many will find them es-
pecially interesting just now,
when Europe is bathed in the
blood of men, and sorrow and
suffering stalk through the con-
tinent when American swashbuck
lers are rattling their rusty sa-
bres, and jingoes are raising their
raucous voices in bellicose blus-
ter, all seeking to force the only
great nation at peace to take up
the sword. Here is what Carlyle
said OF war;
"What, speaking in quite un-
official language, is the pur-
port AMI upshot OF war? To my
knowledge, for example, there

an, Esq, and is we'll worth read
ing twice:
Mr.. Hughes policy as a candi
date for the high office of Presi-
dent does not have a tendency to
raise him in the estimation of
the voters, even ofhis own party.
He seems to adopt the easy job
of picking flaws and critlcising
the present administration. In
no important respect does he
suggest constructive legislation.
He has been asked many ques-
tions as to what he should have
done under conditions confront
ing our President, but never has
he answered. Many OF the great
authors and writer's OF the coun-
try joined in asking him nine
teen questions, but up to this
time he has failed to answer any
one OF them. Why? Because, as
Ralph Cole, Chairman of t h e
Speakers Bureau OF the Republi-
can Party. says Hughes has not
the inside information. W h y
should he criticise if he cannot
give US something better? Under
the Wilson Administration t h e
country has been given the Fed
eral Bank Reserve Act. Panic
among one hundred million peo-
pie, in command of a mighty few
gamblers, is no longer possible.
1t is constructive andfor the peo.

structive and for the people. The

We Forget.

will not be swept away by the
fierce assalts that the leaders of
each party make against t h e

it may not be amiss to stop with

during the three or four months
preceding the election. After the
election we are good friends a.
gain and the old relations are re-
newed. The curious thing about
it all is, the candidates them
selves never get offended at each
other. They ride, sleep, eat and
dwell together in unity. When
they get before the public t h e y
make the fur fly and pretend to
be furious, but. as soon as the
back of the public is turned they
are as chumny as brothers, and
laugh at the way the boys laugh

make fools OF ourselves and not
the honorable gentlemen who are
running for office. They make a
pretense OF being greatly offend

Tanks" Formidable Weapons in Modern
Warfare.

during the past few days have
given considerable attention to
"tanks", o kind Of war machine
in the hands OF the British army.
The "tanks" have done effective
work in smashing the German
lines in northern France.
The "tanks" are armored mo-
tor cars. They were built for the
most part in Peoria, ILL.,, as cat
erpillar tractors, designed many
years before the war began, to
meet some OF the difficult prob
lem OF modern farming. Except
for the armor, their machine
guns and their crews, thousands
are in use today in the United
States in plowing, digging ditch
es and other labors less heroic
than war.
NJ. M. Baker, vice president OF
the Holt Manufacturing Compa-
ny, says it was machines made
by his company at it's Peoria
plant that hurdled German tren-
ches, walked through forests and
crawled over shell craters in the
face of intense rife and machine
gun fires.
"It is true" said Mr.. Baker,
"that these tractors can go a.
head over almost anything.
They can straddle a trench, go
through a swamp, roll overlogs,
or climb through shell craters
like a car or a juggernant. 1t
looks uncanny to see them crawl
along the ground. just like a
huge caterpillar. In a thick for
est, if they encountered trees
they could not brush out Of their
way, they could easily be used
to uproot them and clear their
own paths"
Mr.. Baker said the tractors
sent to England weigh about 49,
600 pounds each. develop 12O
horse power and are built o.
steel. The caterpillar feature, he
explained, is Of the utmostimpol
tance. Speaking broadly, the
tractor crawls on two belts, with
corrugated surfaces, on either
side OF the body. The corrugat
ed surface is on the ground. On
the inside OF the belts, on each
side Of the body, are two lines OF
steel rails, making four lines in
all. These rails are in s b or
sections, jointed and operate
over q cogged mechanism thai
actually lay them down will

tor moves ahead and picks them
up again, SO the car runs on it
own self-made track continiousl.
The short joints in the rails maxi

The body is supported b.
trucks with five wheels, some
thing like small railroad trucks
These wheels never touch th'
ground but run upon the stee
rails. In the ordinary tracto
about seven feet OF belt and rail

Lenoir Topic. 4th.

Lenoir Topic, 4th.
Intense excitement prevailed in
Lenoir and surrounding county
last Sunday evening when it was
learned that Miss Florence Sut-
phin, q young woman about II
years of age, was shot and killed
by Charles Walker on q road
near town.
1t appears that Walker, aged
about 10 years, son of James
Walker, of near Draco, Little
River township, had been + o r
some time paying attention to
Miss Sutphin, who lived with her
mother and step-father, Mr.. and
Mrs. Whitener, in the eastern
part OF Lenoir. On Saturday eve
ming he came to see her, but she
told him that she had decided
not togo with him any longer.
After makingsome threats Walk
er left the house. Sunday morn
INC, he came back to see her. but
went away when he was told a.
gain that his attentions were not
acceptable. Expressing fe a r s
about going alone, Miss Sutphin
went to Sunday school at the
Baptist church here in company
with other young women. On
Sunday afternoon, accompanied
by two small Martin girls, she
was walking out to MIR. James
Haigler's on the Taylorsville
road about three miles fir O IN
town when Walker appeared on
the scene and demanded, "Flor.
ence, amt you going with me
any more?" According to evil
dence as given by the two little
girls, she promptly replied, No.
Walkers reply was, You know
what | have told you, then, the
reference being to q former threat
to kill her in case she turned him
down. The girls started off to-
gether, when Walker fired three
times at his sweetheart with q
80 caliber pistol, one bullet ta-
king effect in the back OF b Q
head. Walker then ran into the
woods and the two little girls
went hastily Mr.. Haigler's tC
give the alarm. On their return
they found that the young wo
man was dead, the belief being
that death was almost instanta'
neous. On account OF the illness
OF the dead girls mother, her re-
mains were brought to the hom'
of Mr.. W. L. Ernest and prepar
ed for burial, which took place
at Kings Creek Monday.
Immediately after being Motif
ed, Sheriff Triplett and his depu
ties left by automobile in search
of the perpetrator OF the crime
J Getting on his trail, the Officers
located him at the home nf hi
) brother, s. M. Walker, in Llttl,
River township in whose home tn
arrest was made without resist
: ance, though Walker is reported
to have said that he would di,
before he would.allow the officer
to bring him to Lenoir. The ia
tai shot was fired late in the al
ternoon. and before 10 o'clocl
at night the guilty party was be
hind the iron bars Of the county
jail.

was accidental = that in changin,

iron, being one of the star
players during two football sea-
sons.
In 1905, MI. Burdick was
elected to the house of repre-
sentatives of the state and was
reelected in 1908. He made
such a name for himself as one
of the leaders of the legislature
during his first term, that he
was selected as speaker of the
house for his second term. In
1910, Mr.. Halvorson was nam
ed lieutenant governor.
Two years ago Mr. Burdick
came before the people as a
candidate for governor at the
primary election, and made a
good showing, but was handi :
capped by reason of the fact
that Governor Hanna was his
opponent and was asking the
people of the state for a second
term.
This year, as the Forum pre-
viously stated, Mr. Burdick is
the logical man for the office OF
chief executive. He is now a
resident of Williston, which is
an added reason for his cleo.
ton. The people of the west.
ern part of the state have long
felt that they have had a griev.
ance because of the tendency
of the eastern half of the state,
to monopolize public office.
There is justice in the demand
that the candidate of the slope
country should receive recogni
ton.
Mr.. Burdick is a young mar
of unusual ability, and he has
all the qualifications to make
governor in whom the peopl,
of North Dakota could reposs
the utmost confidence. He
will be an honor and a credi,
to the state and the Forum
believes the people will place
him in the governors chair.

WHAT do you think of YOU
mans charge that bankers are
all crooks? What does your
personal business experience
teach you? Does it not teach
you that a banker is just about
the safest mortal on earth when
it comes to honesty? Where do
you put your money? You put
it there, and only ask the bank
er to write the figures in your
bank book, and your long ex-
perience has taught you that
this is a pretty safe system.
When a banker goes wrong, it
is so unusual, that it is publish
ed in every daily in the u. S..
Why does Mr.. Youmans try
to drag down the banking in
stitutions in this state? Does
he want to rob me- of their
confidence in bankers so that
they will keep their money in
stockings, where they car get
it easier. Does he want to de-
stroy the one safe place where
widows. orphans, and frugal
countrymen keep Their savings
to protect themselves when old
age overtakes them? Does he
want to make money more tim
id SO that it will stay in hiding,
and not be placed here it car
be used by men who need tt
borrow money. No bank coule
live a day if the people believ
ed Mr.. Youmans. Why die

cause he wants to excuse him
