Migration" A number of important
facts were noted. Some birds migrate
By day, others by night. Ducks and
geese start northward as soon as open
water appears. Other birds, a physi-
illogical change evidently warning them
OF the breeding season, start north
about the same time every year; re-
CARELESS of the weather conditions.
The migration speed is usually 80 to
40 miles an hour, with many rests of
days between the flights. The migra-
ton journey varies. Some birds win
ter only few miles from their sum
mer homes; others, like the night
hawk. winter in Argentine, 1000 miles
from where they are found in Yukon.
The worlds migration champion is the
Arctic tern. which travels 1900 miles

G7HILE the past week was not
HAIk quite as gay as it's predecessor,
tWH there wero affairs enough to
keep everyone busy. Mrs Borah

complimented in the same manner, are
leaving tomorrow evening for their
home, to the very great regret Of their
many warm friends. Their going will

this spring from far and near, and
have passed many happy hours in
friendly reunion. Two or three dances
among the members of the younger set
will be features o. the next ten days.

no Red Cross parties have been given,

followed there could be big shop

(From the Spokane Spokesman


Review.)
Two Spokane women were discuss
ing war and preparedness against
war; II intend, so far as possible
to subdue the fighting spirit in my
boys. 1 intend that they shall not
have as playthings toy guns, pistols,
swords, drums or soldier figures
hate war; I am going to be consist
ent and teach my boys not to fight.
That mothers judgment was chief
ly emotional and largely drawn from
an incomplete weighing of the case.
Every right thinking person detests
the quarrelsome, bullying boy, but
the bullying boy exists and will con-
tinue to exist. Evil, injustice, envy,
covetousness, violence have always
existed and will not take sudden
fight in our day. They must be met
by force if life is to be worth living
for the good people in the world.
1t had not occurred to that mother
that she was trying to make molly
coddles and towards of her boys;
trying to bring them up in line of
training tending to choke out the
noblest trait of the normal youth and
man-the chivalrous instinct to de-
fend women and protect the child,
if need be, with his very life.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1916-03-01

Suppose that mother shall succeed
in her lamentable effort and rear her
boys to literal acceptance of her
doctrine that they must never fight.
Further suppose that, walking with
their sister along some quiet road
they are startled by the sudden~ap-
pearance from a roadside thicket of
ain evil creature seized with lust; that
this vile image of a man lays vio-
lent hands upon the terrified girl,
and then these boys acting upon
their mothers years of constant pre-
cept, should leave their = screaming
sister to her fate more terrible than
death.
! What measure of approval think
you that mothers associates and
friends and the community in which
she dwells would give her peace-at-
price doctrines then? Through
all her after years she would be agon-
lied by the thought she never could
drive away, that in her false zeal she
had wrecked her children's lives, and
her own life as we'll.
This is not fantastic illustration
All history tells us that on the wide
trail of an invading army no woman
can be wholly safe. Though it is
true that only an occasional civilized
and disciplined soldier will be guilty
of crimes of violence and rapine, des-
perate and criminal men always come
! in on the wake of a moving army
Often they are of the nationality OF
the invaded land, drawn into the vor-
tex of war by the opportunities for
pillage, violence and theft.
Cost of Unpreparedness.
"But,' say the pacifists, "war is
such a dreadful thing!" All war is
dreadful and wars of invasion most
dreadful of all. If any one shall
doubt it let him consider Belgium
and invaded France, and unhappy
Serbia, and, worse than these, that
ruined land of Poland, across whose
ravaged breast the dreadful tide. OF
war has rolled again and again, as
the great armies of Germany and
Russia alternately have fought their
advancing or retreating way.
Exactly for the reason that war is
dreadful a peace desiring country like
the United States ought to arm and
equip itself for defense and self pre-
servation. If we should be too timid
or indolent to defend ourselves, who
else in all the world will defend us?
If, by our weakness, or by proclaim
ing to all the world our acceptance
of the Bryan doctrine we thereby
should invite attack by a greedy and
