THE PASSING OF A
RUGGED PIONEER

The following, concerning the faith
er of Attorney Dudley L. Nash, of
this city, who passed away last week
at his home near Grand Forks, ap-
peared as an editorial in recent is
sue of the Grand Forks Herald:
"The life of the late w. C. Nash
furnished one Of the few remaining
visible evidences of the connection be-
tween the northwest of the present
day, with it's close contact with the
general activities of the world, and
the northwest of the days when, so
far as this territory was concerned,
civilization did not exist, and settle
ment was not contemplated. Most Of
the older residents who still remain
with us came here as actual settlers,
expecting, when they came, to begin
at once their participation in the
creation here of stable social condi-
tions, and to engage Immediately in
such activities as were then common
in the older states. Mr.. Nash belong
ed in still another group, much less
numerous, of those who not only
came in advance Of civilization, but
who, when they came, had little
thought that civilization would follow
them. 1t is an impressive fact, illus
trative of the tremendous speed Of
our progress, that when Mr.. Nash
first entered the Red River valley the
only contact which this territory had
experienced with the white mans civ
ilization had been through the chance
visits of travellers who had come, not
to remain, but to travel through. The

progress that has been made has been
made during the active life of one man
who has been an actual resident dur
ing the entire period, and an active
participant in it all.
"Mr. Nash was a man Of strong
character and marked individuality.
Entering in his early manhood into
the rugged life of what was then a
wilderness, he developed those quail
ties Of enterprise, endurance and per-
sistence which were the common and
indispensable possession of frontiers
men. But in addition to this, he brot
with him the fruits Of training in
the schools Of his time, and Of
association with thinkers and men

NOVEMBER IS IS
ARBOR DAY DATE
SET BY PINKHAM

Gov Pinkham today designated Fri
day, November Is, as Arbor Day for
Hawaii, issuing a proclamation in
which all the schools Of the territory
and that the day be devoted to the
planting of trees and shrubs. The proc
lamation follows:
The practise, now widespread on
the mainland, of setting aside one
day each year as Arbor Day, began in
Hawaii II years ago. Since then,
here as we'll as elsewhere, the larger
movement for the conservation and
development of all natural resources,
of which Arbor Day represents only
one phase, has made great progress.
Eight years ago, in consequence or
the quickening of the public con-
science and interest in these matters
and the practical results therefrom
in. the Inauguration and extension Of
active work along these lines, the
scope of the day was enlarged.
Accordingly, l hereby designate
Friday. the 18th day of November, A.
D. 1917, as Arbor and Conservation
Day for the territory of Hawaii. and
recommend that on that day appro-
pirate exercises be held in all the
schools of the territory and that a
part of the day be devoted to the
planting of trees and shrubs.
Given under my hand and the
great seal of the territory or Hawaii,

day of October, A. D. 1917.

REPLY TO CLARENCE DARROW. (
Our highly esteemed friend Oar
row seems to give vent to his feel
ings and instincts instead of apply
ing calm reasoning with respect to
the present situation between this
country and Germany.
If Mr.. DaTrOw thinks that instinct
shall dominate reason in this case, I
should like to ask this friend of the
people what have the belligerent
countries of Europe accomplished by
drawing blood and inf1icting misery
and degeneration upon the lives of
their innocent?
May we not expect similar results
if we follow the advice of our pa
triOtic sentimentalists? do not JUS
tify, in fact, condemn the act of
Germany with regard to their policy
of sinking all ships without warn
ing. But let US not forget that we
cannot expect justice in war. What
we do expect, however, is that a neu-
trail nation should be true to all the
principles of neutrality.
Is not the entire situation due to
the commercial disputes, and is not
the very fact of cOmmercialism a
damnable fact? Commercialism does,
not in the least benefit the people.
On the contrary, it robs them of their
last piece of bread?
Is it not this cOmmercialism that is
exercising every bit of power to drag
us into the abyss of misery in order
to satisfy their greedy desires by ac-
cUmulating more and more wealth
at the expense of the lives Of the poor
people.

sentation in it's present form justify
it's existence? Shall the initiative
and referendum replace it? This
question is also timely: Shall we

OMNIBUS WHEAT REPORT.

D EALLY ominous is the prospect revealed by the
IN December report on winter wheat which shows the
poorest December condition on record for an acreage
only slightly In Of that planted last year. On the
basis Of such report the billion bushe crop which it was
estimated essential for next year is out Of the question
Only few Americans have taken talk of bread for
this country seriously. but such condition may bring us
face to face with the actually before many weeks have
passed.
The most disappointing feature Of the report is the slight
gain acreage after the great effort which was made last
fail to impress upon wheat growers the necessity for
extending themselves to the utmost The Agricultural de-
parent says that the failure to reach the acreage which
it deemed necessary for winter wheat seeding was not due
the intention of the farmers but to adverse natural cond
tons which .prevented putting out the fuaceage desired
lnasmuch winter wheat is not grown in the district
where the farmers almost open revolt against the
government because of the price fixing policy perhaps this
ought to be taken its face value but coming on TOP of
the failure of the farmers to respond to the calls of the
government in both of the Liberty bond campaigns the
average will have hard time convincing himself that
the agricultural class of the country has yet awakened
either the seriousness Of the war or its duty to the Repub
lie at this critical time
The farmer privileged character in this country His
interests protected and he favored in the halls Of Con-
gres and by the state legislatures 1t high time he began
to show by works that he appreciates this The industries
mining of all kinds, forestry, transportation shipping COM
merce all have had shortage of labor and the
other handicaps incident to the war; and if agriculture
wants TO retain the good opinion of posery it must show
the stuff that it is made of.
