language of the deepest earnestness.
"The true friends Of Germany" he
says, "those who want her to stand
again before the world as she did be-
fore this war, leader in everything
that makes for progress in human af-
fairs and for the betterment of the
world" must fervently hope "that in
the interests of humanity Germany
may recognize the justice Of our de-
mands and meet them in the spirit in
which they are made"
Unusual weight attaches to Profess
sor Jastrow's view because of the
strong sympathy with Germany he
had expressed in the early months Of
the war, sympathy still subsisting,
though badly shattered by the crime
of the Lusitania. His admiration for
what Germany has given to the world
in so many fields Of intellectual and
social effort is as profound as ever,
but it is for that very reason that he so
deeply deplores the staining Of her
name by the submarine barbarities,
and "other things which she has done
in this war, so contrary to her best
traditions and SO repugnant to the
spirit of humanitarianism for which
Germany has always stood"
The best service that enlightened
friends of Germany in this country
whether of German origin or not
can do for her at this moment is to
speak out as DR.. Jastrow has done.
For there can be no doubt that exped-
iency and humanity point to the same
conclusion-the imperative necessity
of asserting to the Presidents just
demands.

Some of the country roads are in
much better condition right now than
a good many of the streets in Minot
The attention of the city commissioner
of streets is respectfully called to the
condition of several STREETS, which are
too numerous to mention and to the
internal condition of a good many of
our crossings. We believe, however,
that the street commissioner, who has
his hands very full with troubles aris-
ing from the high water, will soon
put our streets in first class condition.
The Minot Auto Club will work with
him.

In three-page article last week,
the Saturday Evening Post tells why
Roosevelt should be elected president
and the arguments appear very logi-
cal. During the seven years that
Roosevelt was president, not a gun
was fired nor was one of our soldiers
or citizens killed. It looks very much
as tho Roosevelt will be the choice Of
the republicans.

William Murray is a candidate for
the nomination for county judge and
from present indications, he will be
nominated and reelected. Mr.. Muir
ray has lost none of his old time popu-
larity, in fact, he has been adding new
friends right along. Efforts have been
made in The past to defeat him, but
his friends have all stood by him and
he came out with colors flying. Mr..
Murray has made a first class county
Judge. He has handled his work in
an impartial manner and we do not
believe that there is any good reason
why he should be exchanged for a
man who may not give nearly as good
satisfaction.

MONTANA SpEDS GOING UP.

Farmers who held on their po-
tatoes last year are now IN luck, as
the price OF tuhers is higher now
THAN for several years-and they
are harder to get. Because Of the
shortage Of potatoes in eastern mar
hets buyers are even ROW in Mon
tana to contract personally for the
crop this year. The reason for this
shortage is not altogether known.
The representatives are working out
OF the larger cities, into the country
around Great Falls, Helena, Miss
oula and Billings. From five to ten
carloads have already been pur-
chased.
The late potato crop in the United
States was fOrty-four million BUSH
els short Of the crop raised in 1914,
but it was larger this year in Mon
tana than ever before. At the be-
ginning Of the season this condition
caused a drop on the local amrket.
hut since eastern buyers have been
forced to look to Montana to over
come the big shortage existing in
the principal potato field, the price
has steadily risen.

This kind OF advertising does

out merely for the few dollars he

A big coal famine scare was START
ed in Helena and promptly denied
by The Independent upon informa-

the same correspondent sent out

writer's good salaries and does not
permit them to correspond for other
papers, except as a matter of courte-
sy when state papers ask for infor-
nation at night from Helena, by
telephone. For this they are not
permitted to receive compensation
from the papers served.

BATTLE GRN OF PEACE.

The big picture, THE Battle Cry
Of Peace" was shown at the Orph-
cum last Thursday afternoon and
evening, and it was the second time
the picture was shown in the state.
The show house was crowded at
both shows and while only one show
Wasadyerrised for the evening to
Accommodate the crowd d second
show was put on We have heard
several express an opinion on the
picture since it was pat on here, and
while it portrays the possibility of
war at its worst, We are Of the Opin-
ion that ii eEagerates to a great ex-
tent. The picture advocates pre-

taken far better had he not appear

1t is, it would be taken his appear

than the policy advocated a few
short months ago by the govern
