London papers on the Buffalo speech
Of President Wilson, is interesting.
The Morning Post says: I'VE wish
some Of our ministers would acquire
President Wilson's knack Of saying
the right thing at the right time"
And again: HE has given, not
only to his own countrymen, but to
the allies. just the right and unfiinch-
ing lead they needed, a lead he al
ways renews unfaiIingly when it is
most needed. AS we said before
President Wilson is a good man to
go tiger-hunting with"
That probably touches the tender
spot. Those who find fault with the
governments war aims or lack of
them are not tiger hunting. Like the
poor natives of the villages OF In
dia, when the eater Is prowling
about the village. they adopt the plan
Of beating tom-toms and offering
sacrifices. Those who are really
hunting the tiger know that sacri-
fees, like those of Belgium, only
whet his appetite.

HERE'S A CHANCE FOR SERVICE.

From the war department yester-
day, The Forum received a copy of
the new QUESTIONABLE.
II is a formidable looking pamph-
let OF sixteen pages. Inasmuch as a
copy will go to every man who regis
tered for the draft and who is not
already in military service, it is a
certainty that many, either through
ignorance, neglect, or misunder-
standing, will fail to do what the
government requires Of them.
To the man of fair education or
some business training the question
naire will present no difficulties, hut
there are others who will founder
helplessly before the task of filling
out all the blanks.
Many a man who will receive the
pamphlet, won't know even the
meaning Of the word questionable"
or ''registrant." Those men must
have fair play and the government
has called on the lawyers OF the
country to see that they get it. by
organizing advisory boards. It is
chance for real service that every
attorney who respects his profession
and is loyal to his government, will
accept.

PROFESSOR HEARINGS CASE.

Duluth's handling of Prof. Near
ing's case was amusing.
1t seems to be a question as to
whose feet grew the chilIier, Prof.
Nearing's or those of the police. The
police had the last laugh, however.
The police arrested him and didn't
know quite what to do with him
when they had him in jail The fed
eral authorities disclaimed him. The
police officers nervously thumbed
copy of President Wilson's New
Freedom" which had been confiscat-
ed. The title looked seditious, but
the name OF the author was suftici-
ent guaranty that it was safe for
democracy to read and hear.
1t looked as If the police had bet
on a four card flush.
But Professor Nearing lacked the
nerve to call the bet. He offered to
plead guilty to disorderly conduct.
The offer was accepted promptly.
Professor Nearing paid his fine, can
celled his trip. and returned to New
York. Doubtless the fear Of COM
plications with the public safety
commission influenced him, as the
commission had forbidden the meet
ing. The police still had that card
to draw for to fill it's flush.
The incident simply proves that
intelligence Is needed to combat the
itinerant pacifst brotherhood. A
bungling bluff worked in this case,
and served to shut off further
speeches, but the outcome doesn't
reflect any particular credit on the
Duluth authorities. 1t was incon-
elusive and ineffective. Their in
tentions were the best. but their
technique faulty.
Cincinnati tried horse whipping.
That is conclusive and effective
enough, but it encourages lawless-
ness, and its reaction on a commun-
ity is worse than the speeches would
be.
Fargo tried good-natured heclxling.
and it worked most successfully in
one instance at least.
But the efforts Of loyal citizens
now should be concentrated on the
efforts to find just one agitator who
is guilty OF preaching sedition. and
make an example OF him. One fir
ing squad, or a long prison sentence
under the fun authority Of the law,
would be more effective than all the
horse whippings. arrests, heclkIings
and tarring parties combined. The
government Is no longer powerless to
reach malcontents. Here is what It
can do, according to Attorney Cen
eral Gregory:
It can prosecute those who

MINOT'S WATER
SUPPLY SHOWS
NO TURBIDITY
Hardness Very Low, More
So Than At Fargo and
Grand Forks

rand Forks. Nov. is. - Recent
developments in connection with the
new water supply for Minot, result
ed in Prof. Howard r. Simpson of
the university. being called to Minot
the first of the week.
Prospecting for an underground
supply to replace that formerly taken
from the Mouse river has been going
on at Minot for some time under the
direction of Professor Simpson as
consulting geologist.
The plan is to secure water from
wells sunk from the alluvia which
underlies the present valley floor to
a depth of 1876 feet. Much of the
lower portion of this material was
found to consist of water bearing
sand and gravel. The last well to be
put down is ten inches in diameter
and 1872 feet in depth. 1t penetrates
a 47-foot head of coarse sand and
gravel and has given a steady yield
of $50 gallons per minute, over a
million gallons per day for an entire
weeks test, being lowered only nine
feet from the original water level. At
one time the centrifugal pump was
speeded up to its maximum capacity
of LAO gallons per minute with no
lrked reduction of head.

ly no turbidity. The hardness is eX-
ceptionally low, lower in fact than
water which can be softened. This
water is softer than that of either
Grand Forks or Fargo after soften
ing.
The chlorine is moderately high,
although not high enough to impart
a particular taste to the water. The
iron is low and will cause no after
precipitation upon standing. The
color of the waster is made up OF
organic stain, and is not removed by
the use of soap. 1t is very similar
to the color found in rain water at
certain seasons of the year and
would damage fabrics to about the
same extent.
