UNITY OF EFFORT

Among those who have directly or tentatively indi-
Gated willingness to become candidates for the position
Of representative in congress from the First district there
has thus far been evidence Of unity of sentiment on one
thing. namely, that the public interest is greater and
more important than the ambition Of any individual.
however honorable that ambition may be.
Tho position which is to be filled is one of honor
and dignity. Viewed in the light of the demands made
upon the official. the financial emoluments are not large.
But the prestige which such a position carries with 1t.
and the opportunities for service which it presents. are
such that the position is naturally and properly attrac-
tive to progressive and patriotic men.
The question Is not as to the one man who is ca
pablo OF filling this position acceptably and honorably.
There Is no dearth Of good material. There are msny
men in the district, in both parties, who are capable of
giving splendid service in this capacity. And. among
these, there are no such conspicuous differences as will
make possible the selection fro mthe group one man who
is recognized as above all others the best fitted for the
place.
All questions Of suitability are relative. The man
to be chosen must be one who, in personal character,
intelligence, integrity and public spirit will properly
and creditably represent the people of his district. He
must not only be patriotic in sentiment. but his patrio-
tism must be an intelligent and practical patriotism
which Will guide him Alright in his course. He must be
one whose attitude on the question now foremost In the
political field in this state is based on accurate knowledge
and sound understanding.
And, out of the group of men who are able to quail

THE FOOD SITUATION

It is a question Just what can be accomplished
through the urgent effort Of the government in increas-
ing the food supply Of the nation by adding to the wheat
acreage in the northwest this year. It ID now the middle
OF April. It is desirable that wheat seeding in this Sec
ton be completed by the middle of May. The work is
often continued for two weeks longer. and with good re-
suits. but the seeding Of wheat after the nrst Of June
is certainly not to be recommended. We have. there-
fore, at the outside. six weeks within which to plant our
wheat The work is in progress now, and 1t must con-
tinue without interruption, otherwise it cannot be COM
pleted. If. under the stress Of emergency. farmers in
crease very materially tho wheat acreage which can be
planted within that time. that extension will be made
at the expense Of soil preparation. for 1t is not. likely that
within the next two or three weeks plans can be put in
to effect which will Increase very greatly tho available
supply of labor.
The prospect is that the northwestern farmer can
best serve his country by planting as much wheat as he
can plant in first class condition.. but under no circum-
stances to yield to the temptation to increase his acreage
at the expense of good preparation.
After the time for wheat seeding is over, there will
still be opportunity for the planting Of other crops.
equally necessary. The corn crop is highly important
both as a direct source Of food and as the basis for a
larger meat supply. The important thing is that every
acre shall be made to produce Of some useful crop the
very utmost that it can be made to produce this year.
Arrangements can be made for another year for increas-
ing the acreage on a large scale and in a systematic
manner.

H CALL TO THE

(By Bret Harte.)
Hark! I hear the tramp Of thousands,
And Of armed mon the hum;
10! a nations host have gathered
Round the Quick-alarrning drum,
Saying, Come"
Freemen, comet
Ere your heritage be wasted"
Said tho understanding drum,
Let mo Of my heart take counsel;
War is not Of life the sum-;
Who shall stay and reap the harvest
When autumn days shall Gomez"
But the drum
Echoed, Come!
Death shall reap the Drawer harvest %
Said the misunderstanding drum.
But whom won the coming battle,
What II profits spring therefrom7
What II conquest, subjugation,
Even greater ills become?"
But tho drum
Answered Comet"
You must do the sum to prove it."
Said the. Understanding drum.

NEWSPAPER YARNS

In the early days of the war 1t was very common,
and it has not been uncommon through its entire prog
ress, for persons whose desires did not coincide with the.
tenor of the news dispatches of the day to dismiss UNI
pleasant reports as mere newspaper yarns inaccurate or
sands of times that all news from the continent must DO
forwarded through London. where 1t was distorted at
the pleasure Of the British authorities before being
passed on.
any means. of Information whatever. were SO certain Of
what was going on that they were able to dismiss as false
the current news reports in the press Of the country to
glance back over the months and check up. Lot them
recall the character Of the reports published from day
to day in the majority Of the American papers. and let
them say which Of these have been shown to have been
false. or colored or distorted.
If memory does not serve, an examination 81 news
paper files will be even still better. The Herald, for
one, will be glad to permit access to Its files for this pur-
pose. And, If such an examination IL undertaken it will
be found that in all essentials the news reports of the
day were surprisingly accurate, considering tho difficult
ties and the confusion necessarily attendant on the &C.
tivities at the front.
No important engagement has been fought in this
war which has not been faithfully reported in the Amer
lean press as soon as 1t was physically possible for the
reports to be sent in. Official reports from all the prin-
cipal capitals have been published from time to ume,
and each has been published identically as sent out. In
the thirty months since the beginning Of the war not a
single instance has been found in which such a state
mont was distorted. American newspapers reported the
battle Of the Marne. with its result Of the retreat Of the
German armies. German authorities issued statements
intended to satisfy Germans at home. denying that there
had been any battle Of the Marine. These statements
were published here with scrupulous accuracy. and were
given for what they were worth. The story Of the battle
of the Marine is indelibly written in tho soil of France.
The German authorities lied. The American newspapers
told the truth.
So it has been in hundreds Of instances. The state
ments which the standard news associations published
as facts have since proven to be facts. Not one Of them
is disputed. The war has been followed by the corre-
spondents step by step, and its progress has been faith
fully reported.
When 1T is stated. as it is. sometimes. even yet. that
the newspaper stories of the war have been fabrications.
let the person making that statement be asked to specify
some specific instance. If he is unable to do so he stands
convicted of mischievous SANDER.

FEDERATION OF CHURCHMEN

There is every reason to expect that something OF
real value will be accomplished at the meeting at the
Presbyterian church on Tuesday evening, when, accord
ing to the plans formed. there will be organized a feder-
alton Of church men Of Grand Forks.
It would be incorrect to say that the church has
lost its influence over men. The church is a vital force
whose influence 10 exerted in many ways and 1t affects life
even where contact IL slight and imperceptible. But 1t
has been a matter of concern to many who are active
in church work that in recent years there has been a
lessening of close contact between the churches and the
great body Of men in most of our communities.
It has been felt that there is need for the re-estab-
lishment OF relations, not. it is true. of exactly the same
tons of life. but relations Of such a character that men
in general would recognize in the church as a matter OF
course an institution to which they could bring their real
problems Of life with full assurance that those problems
would receive prompt, earnest and Intelligent treatment.
There has been felt the need for such a r~eadjustment
as would make fully recognizable the real relation that
exists between the spirit and the ideals Of the Christian
church and the activities in which the lives Of the men
Of this day are necessarily spent.
There are multitudes of earnest and forceful men
in the churches. They are concerning themselves with
the solution Of this problem, which, when analysed, Is
seen to DO merely one phase of the great problem Of
making the church Of the greatest and highest service
to the human race. These men can accomplish more
working together than working separately, and 1t is in
order that they may be able to unite their forces and CO.
ordinate their efforts that. as The Herald understands, IT,
is proposed to effect an organization OF the church men
Of Grand Forks similar in character and purpose to other
like organizations which have already performed valu-
able work.

fy under these and other like conditions. the one man
should be chosen who. after sober and t%houghtsul con-
sideration. appears most likely to commend himself to
the confidence Of the people Of the district.
There Is every evidence now Of a desire on the part
Of men who have been mentioned in connection with
this position to act helpfully and constructively in this
matter, and, IL some other man appears to be more avail
able to give him full and hearty support.

He Pities the Civilian.
From the Columbus, Ohio, Dispat

From the Columbus. Ohio, Dispatch.
A soldier at the front. writing to q news
paper back home" thus sizes up his at
titude toward the war. and those who are
engaged in it. and those who are not:
Never have i regretted doing what i am
doing. nor would ] at this moment be any
where else than where I am. !! pity the
poor civilians who shall never have seen
or known the things that we have seen
and known. Great as are the pleasures
that they are continuing to enjoy and that
we have renounced. the sense OF being
the instrument of destiny. Is to me q
source OF greater satisfaction"
We have claimed all along that those
who take part in such a war as this will
he richer than all the world beside. when
the war is over, but we doubted whether
the soldiers themselves really appreciated
the inheritance that will be theirs when
the struggle ends. So it is pleasant to
find at least one man-and there must be
any number of them-who il conscious OF
his position. who actually pities the poor
civilian who can never have the satisfac-
ton that must come to him who feels
that he was "a part Of the mighty contest
that saved civilization from extinction.
