In Greek and Latin mythology, the
powers which control the fruitfulness
OF the earth are all female. Demetar
was goddess of agriculture, Fortuna
carried the horn Of plenty. But :hc
powers which wrought destruction
Time War and Death--were all mas
culine
The great war puts both the old
myths and the new sciences to the
test and seems to prove both right.
Not to Mars, god Of battles, bait to
Dcmeter, the lady OF the fields, must
go the glory of winning this war, ac.
cOrding to a general belief.
In Europe the farmer is regarded
as of equal Importance with the mu-
nitions maker and the soldier. Agri-
culture is recognized by all military
authorities as a chief source OF ma
tional defense. Consequently a mar
velous new science Of agriculture is
being developed by the warning ma
tions and parallel to it in this country
is the work Of the agricultural eX-
pertinent stations which the govern
mcnt has established in each state.
The trained farmer is doubtless as
essential as the trained soldier to any
scheme of nation preparedness. And
better farming processes mean cheap
er food for the people in times OF
peace. Provided-the distribution or
foodstuff its transportation and meth
DDS OF marketing, are managed in
fair way.
The annual fall spectacle of acres
Of choice fruits left to rot, on account
Of car shortage, and of thousands OF
dozens of eggs spoiled in cold storage,
on account OF price manipulations, is
one to discourage the great goddess
Demeter herself, not to mention her
devotees, the farmers.

Cow Punchers Much in
Minority Among Men Who
Drafted Our Constitution

Cow punchers were, very much In
the minority among the men who
drafted North Dakotas original con-
stitutiOn.
Contrary to a statement attributed
to President A. c. Townley, OF the
Nonpartisan league in his present
experimenting tour the guardian OF
our liberties was framed by men rep
resentative of every important inter-
est in the state, with farmers we'll in
the majority.
"Cow-punchers and Indian fighters
planned the present constitution OF
North Dakota, The farmers of the
state we're not consulted" President
Townley is reported as having said.
Delving into the personnel of North
Dakota's first constitutional conven-
ton, which assembled at Bismarck
on July 4, 1889, reveals the fact that
20 were farmers, "a were lawyers,
nine merchants, five bankers, three
real estate men, two publishers, one
doctor and one a railroad man.
The president of the convention was
Frederick B. Fancher, Of jamestown,
farmer.

vention gave his business as ranch

NO MANS LAND?

Whatever the peace terms-no mat
ter when they are made-who can
estimate just indemnity for No
Mans Land? -
That narrow strip which twists and
turns between the trenches of Eu-
ropes opposing armies has a value
different from any other stretch OF
land on earth.
Over 100000 men have been killed
since the war began. according to fig
ures computed by the War Study So
ciety of Copenhagen. How many hun
dreds of thousands have died in No
Mans Land will not be known until
the army records of all the nations
have become part Of history.
It is not by its width and length
that the price Of the uneven lane be-
tween the barbed wire entanglements
can be reckoned; the number OF its
dead; the blood which the ground has
soaked up, the agony OF wounded
men who lived hours or days beyond
help of a friend or mercy of an enc
my, the thwarted purposes of youth
must be added 10 the estimate.
With the last breath of every SOL
der dying so, there went out from
the world spark Of heroism-and
who can set a price on heroes.
Every man dying there left behind
some unfufilled ambition, some duty
unaccomplished, some plan of living
uncompleted, some work Of love I'M
done-,lst as dear to him, and just as
likely to be made true by him, had he
lived, as any great project or hope of
men living in the safe places of the
world today.
Painters, sculptors, poets, inventors,
men of the shops and the fields, all
are buried or burned together, or
their bones lie bleaching somewhere
along this modern "sacra via of the
nations.
All who survive the war will profit
by their sacrifice if the right kind OF
peace is made. All the world is debt
or to them, but all the nations togeth'
er cannot pay a suitable indemnity
for No Mans Land.
No material compensation Can be
made for spiritual values.
The most that anyone can do is to
stop, once in awhile. and think in all
humility and sincerity of those who
die in war that better world may
come.

GERMANS REPORT .
SUCCESSFUL MOVES
ALONG CARPATHIANS
United Prea&l

Berlin, Jan. Unsuccessful field en-
gagements in the eastern Carpathians
were officially announced today. West
Of Freiderichstad, the official state
ment also reported the repulse of Rus
sian attacks. North of Oitoz valley
there was a constant increase in artil-
lery fire.
West of Panchiutanchru a hostile
company attacked the Teutonic posi-
tons along the Pulta river and were
repulsed. There were several minor
engagements along the Macedonian
front, the statement said.
Dealing with the western front, the
statement said that several minor Eng
lish attacks near Lens were repulsed.
Several French soldiers and few ma
chine guns were captured when the
German accommodating parties enter
cd French trenches and returned with
out harm. Near Pont-a- Mousson slight
activity was reported.

HOPE IN UNITY.

Pope Eenedict's effort for union
Of all the Christian forces of the
world ought to be of decided nteres;
to all thinking people, for i, is just
that force which has largely produced
civilization.
1t is too much to hope for union
OF the Catholic, the Protestant and
Greek Catholic churches on church
doctrines. The results Of bitter con
flicts are too fresh for one h'ne. But
there are high, broad platforms upon
which it is not impossible for them
to unite for the common good, despite
the radical differences as to details
and secondary considerations.
There is 1.-The broad, easy, shining
road to hea ven pointed out by Christ
in Love one another which is the
road that all churches would have
sinners take, and which is open to all
regardless Of what church uniform
they wear. That admonition OF thu
Master is the basis of all Christian re
ligions and all Christian churches. L
has been the moving force Of civilza
ton, Notwithstanding that it has beer
Uttered with creeds, denominations
rituals and ceremonials. When this
common road is blocked, as by a
worlds war among Christians, aided
by heather and anti-Christ, surely the
Christian forces Of the world ought
to be able to unite and at least make
an effort to clear the road.
This war is surely challenge, a
defiance to all organizations based or
the teachings of Christ and the good
ness of God. Diplomacy and slaugh
ter seem unable to produce one ray
OF peace.
Looks as if George Perkins and r,
Colby were going to split off from the
G. o. p, but we understand tina! Ted
dy and Taft are still in alliance.
The United States supreme court
having decided that the white slave
law applies to ''private escapades, u
joy.riders had better have signs put
up at state lines.

THE ONLY ANSWER.

When two fundamental principles
disagree there is bound to be serio.s
friction.
When this is the case with nations,
friction is liable to result in war.
One Of the nations eventually must
surrender its policy or there will be
friction, and if there is friction there
is liable to be war.
The policy of this nation in dealing
with Japan directly opposes the ma
tional policy of Japan.
Either Japan will have to surrender
her contention that her citizens shall
be received by the United States on
an equality with the citizens OF other
powers, or this country will have to
surrender its policy of Asiatic exclu-
sion.
II neither surrenders these funda-
mental principles there will be con.
tinued friction, which may result in
war.
These are facts, disturbing as they
may be.
we dicide to maintain both the
Monroe doctrine and our policy OF
Asiatic exclusion, there is only one
answer: A navy large enough to de.
feat the worlds second naval power
in the Atlantic, and at the same time
defeat the naval power in the Pacific
at whose strength We can now only
guess. ...a. .-
At present We could not defeat them
together. Nor could we defeat alone
the power in the Atlantic. We do not
know whether or not We could defeat
salone- the one in the Pacific.

SECRET CELLAR
AT RICHARDTON
IS BOOZE DEN

AS a result Of a raid made by Spe.
cial Agent J. F. Murphy, Assistant T.
F. Gillday, Sheriff Fred Hartging and
Deputy Arm Branick, three of Rich.
ardton's leading merchants and a
drayman are under arrest at Dickin'
son. Hundreds of bottles of beer and
whiskey were unearthed in secret
cellar in the home of George Schsen-
lein as the result of an investigation
made by the officials. 1t is more than
likely that more arrests will be made
before the muddle is Strengthened out.
Thursday night the Northern Paci-
ic depot at Richardton was broken in
to and several bottles of beer stolen.
The act required the immediate at
tention of the company's special de-
tective, J. F. Murphy, and his assist.
ant, T. F. Gillday. In the meantime
the sheriff Of Stark county and his as
sistant went to Richardton to confis-
cate some liquor which was being ship
ped in illegally. After the beer was
seized, a drayman, Frank Cooper, stole
the beer and secreted It in the "secret
cellar" The thrilling act resulted in
an immediate investigation and the
Stark county officials with the assist
ance of the Northern Pacific detec-
tives soon located the stolen goods
and more besides. Others implicated
in the affair are George Shnieder and
G. p. Gress, two merchants of Rich
ardton. ~
The arrests of the ringleaders have
been made and they are all now in
Dickinson pending a hearing which
will be given them In few days. Spe-
cial Agent Murphy stated Saturday
that it is possible more arrests will
be made. go

This week IT seems the Judges
have not made much progress, and
yet during business hours we have all
been working like beavers. We have
been looking after the odds and ends
and have heard arguments in seven
cases, and have virtually decided
them.
Let me tell you how the business
runs. When party appeals to the
supreme court he must cause to be
transmitted to the clerk three or more
typewriter or printed copies OF the
appeal record. Then each party makes
and files several copies Of printed
brief, which should contain a clear and
concise statement OF the case, the
facts conceded and the facts disputed,
with the points OF law and of fact to
be decided. The clerk sets for argu-
ment every week six or more cases
and notifies the attorneys. AT or after
the time of argument the chief justice
assigns to each judge one or more cas-
es in which to write decision. When
all the judges examine and approve a
decision, they sign up on the original.

gives notice to the attorneys, and that
ends the matter unless there be mo.
tion for rehearing.
!. Now it often happens that a law
yer has not way Of stating his case
so as to appeal to the understanding
of the judges and he may talk over
their heads. while they sit and listen
like dummies. To prevent this have
assumed the task of looking into the
