Editor Courier Democrats:

Editor COURIER
Congressman Manahan, of Mime
sofa, has been campaigning in North
Dakota the past week in the interest
of Hughes and the republican party
and his speeches are typical of the
real progressives in that party. They
clearly indicate that the true progress
slve Is a misft as a republican. He
critics President Wilson and the
democratic congress for many things
they have done, which has been the
practice Of the republicans, when
they were in power, and also for
things the democrats have not done
for the western farmers, which no re-
publican administration has ever
made even the slightest effort to do,
He charges the Wilson administration
with extravaganza because the expen-
ditures have increased during the past
year or two without mentioning the
fact that the appropriations have been
enlarged mainly on account of the in
creased cost of the army and navy and
the mobilization of the national guard
on the Mexican border. He did specify
the so called pork barrel rivers and
harbors bill as an instance Of demo-
cratic extravaganza, but there is no
likelihood of any immediate reform
in this line by placing the repubil.
cans in power. During the past fifty
years the republicans, when in
have demonstrated that they have
a fairly healthy appetite for pork.
He also charged that the democrats re-
fused to vote for his bill to stop gam
bling in wheat in Minnesota, but all
Minnesota people know that Mr.. Man
ahan's efforts in that line for several
years past have met no encourage
ment from the republican party in
state and nation.
But it is on the tariff question that
Mr.. Manahan displays most effective.
~ the attitude of the progressive re-
p%ublicans. He charges that the
democratic party is a sectional party
dominated by the south. The south.
ern congressman, he says, admit this
to be true. but they claim, when the
republicans were in power, the tariff
was made to favor the north at the
expense of the south and now that the
south has the power they are merely
evening things up. Mr.. Manahan says
this Is true and he does not blame the
so%utherners for what they have done.
but he urges the voters Of the north
to put the republicans back In power
SO that the tariff can be made to favor

Monday CT this week was, under
official designation of Governor Han
ia, urged for observance by people
Of North Dakota as Fire Prevention
Day. The day chosen to be set apart
for the prevention of fire is the ami
versary of the great Chicago fire of
1871, when the greater portion of
that city was laid in ashes through
al act of carelessness. In his procla-
nation the suggestion is set forth to
make special effort forsthe protection
81 property against fire. Now is a
season of the year when prairie fires
are more prevalent than at any other
season of the year and something
done along the protection line may
mean the saving of thousands of dol
Lars worth of property, between now
and when the snow flies. Outside
of the towns the hundreds of stacks
of hay and uncut acres of slough grass
ARE a dangerous menace to both life
and property. 1t didn't ought to need
q. governors proclamation to make
the careful and thrifty farmer see
where the personal benefit comes in
OF n little extra effort to protect his
nome against the ravages Of fire at
this season of the year.

Mrs. Funk is a lawyer in Chicago
ana was II of the prominent leaders
OF the Progressive movement so long
as Colonel Roosevelt remained at the
head Of it. She and Mr.. Robins fought
sic by side for Progressive principles,
and she was n Of the most active
campaigners for Mr.. Robins in the
senatorial campaign in Illinois two
years ago.
Mrs. Funk now Is q member of the
Associate Committee of Progressivcs
cooperating with the Democratic Na
ttonal Campaign Committee. She put
her challenge to Mr.. Robins on the
nigh ground of public service, asking
that her former associate submit the
case OF Wilson versus Hughes to popu-
lar juries.
In her letter to Mr.. Robins Mrs.
Funk said:
I'm 1912, endorsing the Progressive
party with my whole heart, l left be-
hind me a tradition of middle western
and New England Republicanism, and
when the end came in the Auditorium
last June l followed Theodore Roose-
welt to the door Of the Republican
camp with faith that the Republican
party Of 1916 was in somewise differ
ent from the Republican party of 1912
that he and you and l condemned, and
| waited for a sign that would point
the new way.
1T did not come, but events mo-
mentous in their import did transpire
and against my inclinations and ira
ditions and against my associations
ana ~prejudices ! was forced in honesty
to myself to admit that Woodrow Will
son, greater than his party, a leader of
his party. had in large measure kept
for the Progressives their contract af-
firmed by them and entered into with
the people.
II am inviting YOU now, Mr.. Robins.
to join me in a series of debates, the
question to be resolved and the ar
engagements to be made through our re-
spective committees, such debates to
be held during the campaign, it being
understood that the resolution of the
question shall comprehend all matters
properly at issue in the minds Of Pro-
gressives seeking their political afilia-
ton for 1916"

The Inherited Mexican Problem.

Inc inherited Mexican Problem.
The Republican campaigners, from
the fault-tinding Hughes down to the
Milton statesman, have nothing to sa,
of the Mexican problem save during
Wilson's administration. They care.
/, fully ignore everything before Marcel
4, 1918, and one short i. non-commit.
tai sentence cover all they dare say
of the future if Hughes is elected.
They never mention the ''humiliat.
ing incident of the American either
taking out a certificate of registra-
tion from the British Consulate at the
City of Mexico to secure protection tc
his property. But this happened
when Roosevelt, the doughty, was
President in 1908.
They Eve refer to the letter
President Taft in 1911 wrote the
Governor of Arizona, who had te!e-
graphed him that unless the American
government acted, the people of
Douglas, Ariz., would have to vacate
the town: Il cannot order the troops
to cross the border, but must ask YOU
and the local authorities, in case the
danger occurs again, to direct the
people of Douglas to place themselves
where bullets cannot reach them."
If n finds cowardice in dealing
patiently with Mexico, can he find
anything more cowardly than this?
1t was Senator Stone, democratic,
OF Missouri, who first insisted that
President Taft be authorized to EN-.
ploN force to restore order in Mexico,
and 1t was Senator Root, republican,
OF New York, the ablest champion of
Hughes and a bitter critic of Wilson,
who said then that even a threat of
force would be Ito e the policy
OF the United States and take a step
backward in the path of civilization.
And Senator Lodge, republican, of
Massachusetts, backed him up.
The Mexican problem has been a
national, not a party problem, ever
since the passing of Diaz. Able and
honest men of both parties have
agreed and disagreed over it-have
agreed and disagreed with their own
party heads over it. 1t should be
dealt with by the people as it has
been dealt with by our President
thoughtfully, conscientiously, justly.
There is going the rounds of the
press now an article, 1.-The Mexican
Problem an Inheritance which
gives a full historical review of the
matter. 1t should be read by all who
wish for a fair statement of the
Mexican problem.

Drum Fire and Curtain Fire,

Drum fire" and curtain fire. are
modern al terms. Drum fire. is the
firing Of artillery at stated intervals,
the resultant noise being described as
like the steady hammcring of a great
drum. When the desired effect of re-
ducing the point of the attack has been
accomplished the guns are elevated to
a higher point and are fired continuous
ly, making q "curtain of fire" to pre-
vent re-enforcements reaching the point
of attack from the rear and at the same
time allowing the infantry to attack
under protection of the guns.

Advice IS yelled but egotistical at- tempt to show your neighbor how you surpass him intellectually. It is n magnifying glass which you hand to him, after which you make certain that you are standing at the proper focal distance.
 Advice is also used as n sugar coat ing for criticism, as a diplomatic meth cd of checking offensive conduct and as a pastime.
 There are two classes of people ebul- lient with desire to give advice those who have had experience and those who have not.
 A request for advice is usually a subtle form of fiattery or else meth od of lodging responsibility.
 The person who Is wise enough to take good advice and the one who is too wise to give 1t generally tie the knot of perfect friendship.
 Advice is drug on the market. The principal reason why the supply ex- ceeds the demand is because those who need the most take the least.
 Advice should never be followed. If it is good advice 1t cannot be followed The only advice which is good is that which drives you.--Judge.
