THE GERMAN PEOPLE.

President Wilson IN his famous peace
note. made clear distinction between
the German government and the Ger
man people. But there are grave doubts
wither at this time such q distinction
can be made.
The German kaiser who is personally
''the government and who claims his
authority from God alone in this respect
is in class by himself, for by this claim
he separates himself from the people.
He reigns Us the agent of the Diety, if
every elector in Germany were against
him and his rule. he still would be and
should be "the kalser.''
But the newspapers and statesmen Of
Germany assure Us that he is also the
choise Of the people. and that the. peo-
pie stand behindhim as one man.
Indeed, the German papers and many
others express aston,shment that other
nations should presume to Interfere
with German institutions and the forms
|of German government.
They say that they csn attend 70
their own internal affairs.
/ All this sounds logical, but whore does
i land the German peoplei Into what
sort q state q mind have the incidents
and horrors o. this war changed tie

A YEAR Of EXTREMES.

Fhe year 1917 SO far has proven to be
a year of extremes in meteorological his
tory.
Without going into particular figures.
in q general way, we have this record.
First we passed through the longest
steady spell of cold weather we have
ever experienced in this cold country.
While the Thermometers has registered
lower at times in previous years, yet We
had to burn more coal to keep warm
last winter than for any previous time
Of the same length.
The cold weather was loath to let up
and except some exceptionally fine
weather in May the cold hung
on until june and it was freezing wealth
or almost every night until the second
week in juno. Most Of the summer fol-
lowing has been rather cool, but In July
we had week Of hot weather in which
the thermometer went above the hun.
dred mark and gave US another extreme
record in that direction.
Then about three weeks aEo came the
earliest fall freeze for over forty years.
By this We do not mean just . frost, or
even what we generally call Z 'killing
frost" but this was real freeze. the
Thermometer going down to 10 degrees
above zero. 5ssss ss
y the meantime. since the spring be-
gan, there has bsen but very little ram.
What rain has fallen has como mostly In
showsrs. and . : result some farms
have Jared more fortunately than others
but now whsss ~ thi1 section has there
bssn suascisat moisturs.

Editor Bouvette Resigns.

Editor Bouvette, of the Hallock En-.
terprise has resigned as postmaster OF
Hallock, and steps down and out with
the following explanation in last weeks
Enterprise. The Hallock post Office
carried salary of about 81, 500 per an
mum:
81. =. Bouvette, postmaster at this
place and publisher of this paper has
rendered his resignation to the Post.
master General at Washington, d, G.
as postmaster of Hallock to take effect
Oct. lst 1917, and has asked to To re-
lieved by that date if possible.
In explanation to this request we
would say that we find the duties of the
Office too exacting and onerous, and re-
quiring too much of our personal time
to be successfully carried on in connec-
tion with our business as publisher and
printer; and the compensation is entire
ly too lnconsiderable to warrant our de.
voting our entire time to the Office.
Were we interested IN no other
business than that of postmaster, it
might be different, but as it is, if we
must devote our entire time to the post
Office. it will be necessary for US to en-
ploy man to take our place as editor
and printer on our paper. This would
require an expenditure of at least $500
or 800 per month, and we cannot
afford it. It has come to point where
We either have to give our attention to
to the posto6ice or to the business
which We regard as our bread and butter
and which has taken US twenty odd
years to establish. In other words we
cannot afford to sacrifice our newspaper
and printing business to the require
ments Of federal Office, because We
have too much invested in the former
and there isn't enough in the latter to
eLable US to pay reqired salrled help

THEY ARE GOING.

Tomorrow the boys" gather at Cava-
lier from whence they will begin their
journey to the conscrlption camp. They
are not many in number, not even many
in comps rison to the whole military
strength of the country. They will form
but an insignificant part of the million
army of conscripts already selected or
that will be selected in the near future.
But their departure brings war close
to our homes. Each of these represent
a circle of relatives and friends.
In the families and in the social and
business circles they leave vacancies.
In these places they will be missed and
remembered more particularly. The
world about us will move on apparently
as usual. To the river of general life, it
will only be as if someone had taken q
bucketfull of water from the current.
twill still be true that there Is less
water than before in the river, but the
bucketfall has been taken for special
and more immediate use.
Even this apparently small number of
volunteers and conscripts that have
gone and are on the way has affected
almost every family in the county In
some way. Even before our own coun-
try had been dragged into war many
Pembina county families had near and
dear ones 'sat the 'front.'. This particu-
larly so from the fact that this county
was settled 80 largely in the beginning
by immigrants from Canada, aad who
left many blood relatives there. Quite
. number Of boys born and raised in this
county, have also joined the Canadian
corps previous to our declaration Of war.
They 60 not for the love Of war. but
for the love Of their country. for the love
Of us who remain. Duty, not preference
is their motive. Duty to God and their
country, and there is no higher motive.
Then let We who remain, remember
also that We have duties. We have Civ
On these whom We love to go, but We
must continue giving. Our sacrifices
no matter how great will be little COM

just ahead of the rushing automobile
lay large stone and the driver watch,
ing steered to one side and the machine
went on it's way. Then came bad
ditch across the road, so the auto slack
ened speed went down and up with all
the grace of an elephant but with no de-
lay. Later it met a COW and then some
hogs, two legged and four legged kinds
OF the latter and with these the road
was shared, giving the animals the
'ffty-fifty" share and then some. A
big farmers dog or perhaps it was
farmers big dog also tried his best to
stop the machine by barking at it most
savasely (he had been run over twice
this season) but the speedometer still
registered an average of thirty miles or
more an hour.
After avoiding all these distractions
Mr.. Chaeffuer who was driving the car
got SO happy that he began to sing that
old pennyryal hymn 1.-The Star Spang-
led Banner" with the machine exhaust
keeping time. That's about the only
thing that can keep the correct time
along with that tune.
Little later his "ship of the road' took
another tack. A shrinkage was notice.

tire was evidently getting very tired.
1t was getting short of breath. No
wind therefore no more w-eye-nd(had to
spell it that way or you couldn't see the
joke.) The chaetfeur didn't see any joke
either SO he had to have resting spell
also.

little tack with its ''but' and sharp
"point" got him.
The tack IN itself was no obstruct toin,
it was too small and insignificant. The
tack instead of obstructing however
joined with the machine and became
part OF it. 1t not only partook of the
speed forward but also revolved around

it were. cried to the observers "See us

WARNS HIS RACE
AGAINST LEAVING
NEGRO MINISTER TELLS ABOUT
EXPERIENCES OF DARkIEs
WHO WENT NORTH.

Waycross, March 30.-That negroes
in the south are being badly fooled
by labor agents from eastern cities
and states is the report sent to AL
derman Lloyd G. Warren, of Way
cross, by A. A. Burns, negro min
lister, who left Waycross few weeks
ago to make an investigation of con-
ditions in Pennsylvania, where so
many Waycross negroes have gone
in the last year. The minister says
he finds that southern negroes are
in want in many instances, and, in
stead OF getting 'fat jobs" land in
the state in ninety out Of one hun
dred cases without job waiting for
them and are forced to take what
ever they can or face starvation
In his letter to the alderman the
minister enclosed recent report is
sued in Philadelphia. which stated
that slightly over 500 southern ne
groes had died in the last three
months, most Of them from exposure
and improper housing. The report
said the investigation disclosed start
ling and astonishing facts, heretofore
lightly regarded, and that conditions
we're such immediate action was nee
essary to stop the exodus of negroes
from the south. The minister declar-
ed the negro's home was the South.
and that it would be a mistake for
the migration to continue.
