THE SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY.
Van Wyck Books in Seven Arth:
The immense and legitimate vogue OF
the Spoon River Anthology" is due to
its tnerrihg diagnosis of what we ali
recognise. when we are confronted
with it, as the inner life Of the typical
American community when the eri-
terion of humane values is brought to
bear upon 1t in place Of the criterion
of material values with which we have
additionally pulled the wool over our
eyes.
1t is quite likely, of course, that Mr.
Masters, with a reasonable pessimism,
has exaggerated the suicidal and MUIR
derous tendencies of the Spoon River
ties. But / know that he CONVEYS an
extraordinarily just and logical i'm
preston. He pictures a community
OF some thousands Of souls, every one
OF whom lives in q spiritual isolation
as absolute as that of any lone farm
er on the barren prairie, a commun-
ity that has been utterly unable to
spin any sort OF spiritual fabric COM
mon to all. which has for SO many
generations cherished and cultivated
its aflimosity toward all those nom
unitarian elements in the human
heart that retard the successful pur-
suit OF the main chance that it has re.
duced itself to a spiritual desert in
which nothing humane is able to find
rootage and grow at all.
And yet all the types that shed glory
on humankind have existed in that, as
in every community They have ex-
listed, or at.least they have been born.
They have put forth one green shoot

Tire Business Big
Item in Fargo; Has
Shomn Great GrOmtT1

The sale of pneumatic and solid
rubber tires for bicycles, motorcycles
trucks and automobiles in and from
Fargo during the year 1917 win reach
81, 300. 900. according to estimates OF
local tire dealers, based on sales dur
ing 1916.
This estimate includes not only the
expected increase in business, coming
ms q natural result Of the purchase OF
thousands of rubber tired vehicles in
North Dakota and western Minnesota
last year, but also takes in the high
prices, which are expected to pre-
vail.
Tires, in the various classes, took
increases in price Of from 10 to 20
per cent the first of the year, and new
quotations covering prices for the
early spring months are expected to
carry changes: Whether these will
show increases. or decreases, no local
dealer is able to say.
Owing to the promised exceptional
demand, however. it is expected that
prices will be somewhat higher Eu~
rope is purchasing immense quantities
Of tires. and storing raw rubber Tor
future needs.
Quotations on inner tubes show
little, If any increase over 1915 prices.
Fargo Is Tire Center.
Fargo is admittedly the tire center
OF the northwest. Five of the largest
tire manufacturing companies in the
world, with outputs worth hundreds OF
millions OF dollars yearly have select
ed the gate city as their northwest
headquarters. locating branch houses,
each carrying large stocks, here.

Theodore Roosevelt in 1909: 1t would
be a master stroke TX those great pow
eFs honestly bent on peace would form
q league Of peace, not only to keep the
peace among themselves, but to pre-
vent, by force IL necessary, Its being
broken by others.
The supreme dificulty 10 connection
with developing the peace work of The
Hague arises from the lack OF any ex-
ecutive power OF any police power to
enforce the DEGREES Of the court. In any
community OF any size the authority OF
the court rests upon actual or poten-
tial force; on the existence OF q police
or on the knowledge that the able
bodied men of the country are both
ready and willing to see that the de-
crees of judicial and legislative bodies
are put Into effect.
In new and wild communities where
there liz violence, an honest man must
protect himself; and until other means
OF securing his safety are devised, It is
both foolish and wicked to persuade
him to surrender his arms while the
men who are dangerous to the COM
munity retain theirs. He should not

A pREnlcTIoN or pEAcE,

Thomas f. Logan in Leslie's: 1t is
encouraging to know that there are
those in public life. who, while sec
ond to none in patriotism, are given to
weighing all the factors that lead to
war. and consequently have their own
convictions as to how these are best
met, not only as regards the temper
airy outcome, but as concerns the
prospect OF lasting peace on the only
desirable terms. or this class OF our
public men, Speaker Champ Clark
can always be depended upon for a
common sense statement, promptly
delivered in plain language. Asked re-
Gently for an expression OF his optn-
ion as to the prospects OF peace and
the best means for assuring Its per-
manence. Speaker Clark furnished
these remarks for the readers OF Les
lies: 81 think the war viii end pref

except some Fellows who are making
money out OF the war; wants peace.
OF course, so far as ! am concerned,
1t is always peace with honor--that
kind OF peace that DiBraeli took home
with him from the congress OF Berlin.
AS soon as this great war 10 over,

the nations Of Europe a disarmament

one great nation IL not going TO dis
arm with all the rest OF them armed
to the teeth" Speaker Clark's prac-
tical and common sense suggestion es
to the future course Of the nation
occupies happy middle ground be-
tween the extremes OF militAristic de-
rnands and blind pacificism that will
commend Il to the sober judgment Of
the country. In q time when hasty
and unstudied action IL urged by
ilngoists and peacef lovers. good sense
Is at 9 premium.

ENoLANp,s WAR pEeTs.

Joseph E. Davies in The Century;
War debts grow with tremendous
leaps in very short periods Of time;
but it lis equally true that they have
been retired most slowly. Following
the revolution Of 1888. for q period OF
1873 years England alternated between
periods of peace and war. During the
sixty -four years OF war approximate
~ C 1895, 900, 900 were added TO the ma
tional debt, and during the sixty -four
years OF peace the debt was reduced
by only e30, 600 900. The Crimean
war added R33, 900, 0e0 to the public
debt OF England. The Boer war wiped
out the savings OF thirty-six years
that had been applied to the reduction
Of the national debt.

government of the richest country in
the world, from the revolution Of 1888

ALL ME NLovE A GARDEN.

from In FrAAs0 " SdEuStAhSS -
Frances Duncan, in The Scrfbner:
There be delights" says an ancient
writer, that will fetch the day about
fro msun to sun and roch the tedious
year as in a delightful dream" Thus,
and very much after this monner, the
charming old prose poet, amiably
garden made, continues, page after
page, to describe the 1000 delights
to be found in the ''fowery orchard" OF
his century-describes them with an
abandon OF happiness that suggests
the rapture OF st. Bernard when
hymning the New Jerusalem.
In fact, barring the equally ancient

It's devotees than gardening. AT

KEEP WINDSHIELD CLEAN.

When driving in the rain, snow, or

should be kept clean. There are sew
