Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

The Superior Telegram: It is
noticed that the few small attempts
at armed resistance to the selective
draft for national defense are all in
regions where ignorance prevails,
and there is no appreciation of free
government. A blockhead's idea Of
liberty is to do as he pleases and
raise all the hell he wants to. His
idea of government is to have some
thing to give him rights and privi-
leges and protect him without any
duty in return on his part, and he
usually thinks that he and a COM
paratively few others like. him are
the majority of the people. In short
he supplements his natural lack Of
intelligence with a lot of foolishness
invented by himself or others, and
sometimes gets himself into serious
trouble. like the group Of armed
rebels down in Oklahoma who
thought they were going to start a
revolution and upset the govern
ment. Already they are finding out
their mistake. Some of them have
been killed, and many are in Jail
awaiting trial for offenses under
which the death penalty can be legal
ly given.
These men are so ignorant that
their plight is regarded with a de-
gree Of pity. They are much less to
blame than the agitators who have
led them into this trouble. The
agitators should be shot or hanged
according to law, when their work
leads ignorant men into the crime
of treason against the nation. A
man who is so ignorant that he can
be led to believe that the govern
ment of the great American. republic
is weak and pusillanimous, and that
the majority of the people are desir-
Gus Of having a revolution to break
it up, is in a pitiful degree of mental
incapacity. But there is no feeling
of pity for the agitator who plays
upon such ignorance for criminal
purposes.
This great republic, where every
man and many of the women have
full suffrage, the right to a full
ballot the same as the greatest men
IN the nation have, is the highest
exemplification of liberty and equal
rights ever devised and put in
operation by mankind Our laws
may not yet be perfect, but the peo-
pie have it in their own hands by
lawful methods to make them better.
Revolution in this country is only
the dream of criminals who are not
willing to submit to the rule of the
majority. If these criminals had the
majority on their side they would not
need revolution to get control. They
would only need to go to the polls
and vote. The hopelessness of ever
getting the majority is what makes
them turn to armed rebellion, which
they ought to be able to see is much
more hopeless, with no chance what
ever of success.
The fact of the matter is that the
tremendously overwhelming majority
of the people of this country are
loyal to the republie-so overwhelm-
ing that the revolutionists cannot
even make a ripple on the surface
of the nations life. The great re-
public is supreme within itself.

agitator, the spendthrfit who filings
his money about our city streets, and
the president Of the Woman's Trade
Union League Of New York, who
said, when we get an S-hour work
ing day, we are going in for six, and
when we get six, we are going in for
four" all seem to be actuated by the
same motive--to grasp as much and
to give as little as they can. It is not
a principal which makes for citizen
ship, and It will afford no great help
in the hour Of the Nations trial.
Material progress and party politics
are very engrossing things, but per-
haps Francis Parkman was right
when he said that If our progress
was to be at the mercy of our poll
tees, and our politics at the mercy
Of our mobs, we should have no last
ing foundation for prosperity and
well being.
The tendency to gloat over the
sight and sound Of money may be less
pervasive than 1t seems. 1t may be
only temporary predisposition leav-
ing us at heart clean, wise and tenn
perate, But there is q horid exuber-
ance in the handling Of this recurrent
theme which nauseates us little like
very rich food eaten in a close room.
Why should we be told that "the
world gapes in wonder" as 1t con-

And the moment / was sworn into
the service, would resolve that, no
matter whether IL suited me or not,
/ would obey orders very strictly
and to the letter. That is the magic
phrase--it is the religion of the
army: obey orders. During my time
in the army, no man who lived up to
that as his motto could go through
with a term of enlistment without
having a chance of being made a
corporal, or a sergeant, or even a
sergeant-major. There are few COM
missioned officers who will overlook
the enlisted man who never disobeys
an order. when promotion becomes
necessary. And in this war. men from

But every man of the company, or

three little wordsl You'll know your
self after awhile. A real, dyed-in-
the-wool American soldier. Of course,
liz a gentleman too. However,
there is bound to be a chance for you
to win your chevrons. I've never yet
seen the man who tried hard for pro-
motion, If he tried honorably, who
came out of 1t q private. In spite of
their bluff military manners, officers
are just like you under the skin;

WHERE DEATH IS PENALTY.

Death is often the penalty Of both
slovenliness and immortality for the
soldier who goes to the trenches.
This is the fact that Is being inn
pressed upon the American soldiers
who are receiving the final touches
to their training in French camps.
The slovenly soldier is the one who
fails to keep his equipment in first
class condition. The Americans are
being given demonstrations of how
perfectly the gas masks protect the
wearer. But gas mask that is not
ready for instant use may cost the
soldier his life. There is no time to
repair the mask when the alarm
comes. The mask must be ready to
be donned instantly.
That is but one example of the
need of efficiency. Every soldier is
impressed with the fact that he must
learn to be good soldier. Fail
ure greatly increases the chance of
his being numbered among those
killed.
And morals at the front are not
merely a matter Of sentiment or even
religion. Those who scoff at the eff
forts of the government to keep camp
surroundings as they should be,
show a sorry ignorance Of the facts.
Clean living is the goal Of every hon.
orable and decent man in civilian
life, but clean living is a necessity
to the soldier If he doesn't know IL
when he enlists. he will learn it the
first day he is in the camps or the
trenches. The soldier who contracts
any of the diseases that follow the
armies, Is as useless as if German
had put a bullet through his heart.
The "old army stuff", as the sold
iers call it, snap and discipline
have a greater purpose than merely

THE MEN WHO CAUSED
THE WAR.

An interesting sideiight on the
outbreak of the war has been dis
closed by recent discussions in. the
German Reichstag.
It now appears that Germany had
Austria's ultimatum to Serbia, four
teen hours before it reached Serbia,
and the German government had
every opportunity to examine the
outrageous demands that Austria
made.
A conference was held at Pots
dam, which was attended by En-
peror William, the Crown Prince,
Won Moltke. Falkenhayn, Won Tir-
pitt, and Won Bethmannr Hollweg.

readers to the importance of the po

Why not go after the potato
business this fall We need a
potato warehouse but cannot ex-
pect to have one built this year.
We can, however, look forward
to next spring, ascertain how
many farmers adjacent to Park
River would like to plant pota-
toes next year, and the number
of acres and amount Of seed re-
quired, and then make arrange
ments with those who have po-
tatoes this year and If necessary
provide for this seed at some
other potato growing district.
These seed potatoes could be
stored cheaply by simply digging
potato cellars. Many farmers
would be willing to get their
seed this fall. Next year with
an average of from one thousand
to fifteen hundred acres assured
to potatoes, a warehouse can be
built here very easily. Let US get
at the potato business this fall,
provide for seed for next year,
and the potato industry will es-
tablish itself.

FAREWELL TO SOLDIERS.

Thanks to the Fargo Rotary club,
The Forums plan for n municipal
farewell to the members of Company
p and a final contribution from the
citizens OF Fargo TO the company
fund. will be carried out
The Rotarians have decided to get
behind the plan and put 1t through
on the biggest possible scale.
They will make the few arrange
ments necessary, and 1t is up to the
citizens of Fargo to do the rest.
The plans are very simple. and are
based on the idea that Fargo wants
a farewell look at the company as a
whole, and a chance to donate to-
ward the fund that will make camp
life a little easier for the boys.
The company, in the best equip
ment It will be able to muster. which
is nothing to boast OF, will march
from the armory to the Great North
ern tracks and return. Ahead Of the
company will come the biggest band
that Fargo can provide. Behind them
will come some twenty young women
carrying the biggest American flag
to be found in Fargo. 1t will be car
ried by the corners and will be the
receptacle into which nickels. dimes
half dollars and dollars will be
thrown. The rest Of the escort will
1t is expected, consist OF members Of
the G. A. r. and possibly the home
guard and the drafted men. These
details are yet to be worked out. The
Rotarians would gladly give the
drafted men a place or honor in thu
procession, but 1t is yet uncertain
whether their identity will be known
by that time.
The date Of Company BIS de-
parture is very uncertain. and orders
may come any day to leave on short
notice. For this reason the Rotarians
are eager to have all preparations
made for the parade, and announce
the hour as soon as the orders come.
The object is to hold the farewell
demonstration as near to the hour Of
departure as is feasible.
The importance of the company
fund does not need emphasis. In a
nutshell It spells the difference be-
tween comfort and few lYxuries in
camp, and just plain necessities. Any
soldier will tell you what the COM
pany fund means to him, and what 1t
meant at the border.
This will be the city's official fare
we'll to the first unit of troops to
leave. Every resident of Fargo
should he on Broadway. prepared to
forget his dignity and give the boys
a cheer they will remember. He
should also be provided with some
loose change to toss into the flag.
Let's put little Pershing pep"
into this farewell
Mr.. Root says that Germany spent
$4s,000,00O on propaganda work in
Russia. We wonder how much the
Kaiser set aside for the United
