CLEAN IT UP

The city Of Newport. Rhode Island, needs a cleaning
up. In some circles there has been a suspicion Of this
sort before, because Newport is a fashionable resort, and
there is a tendency to believe that anything fashionable
must necessarily be corrupt. But this time the change
scarcely be charged with prejudice against people merely
because they happen to be wealthy. 1t comes from the
secretary Of the navy, and 1t comes as a result Of an in
vestgahon conducted under authority of the navy de-
partment The department. sought to ascertain what
basis there was for complaints that the conditions in
Newport were such as to be injurious to the morals and
morale Of the naval recruits stationed there.
1t appears that the mayor of the city denied the ex-
fstence Of the conditions charged, but the navy investi-
gators, after thorough inspection, And the complaints
we'll founded. The secretary appeals to the governor Of
the state to see that the conditions are promptly bettered.
The nation is charged with a peculiar responsibility
to the young men who enter its service In army or navy,
either as volunteers or under draft. In the performance
of the duties to which they have been called, these men
are removed from the surroundings to which they nave
been accustomed, and placed in a situation which, to
them, is abnormal. Readjustments are necessary, and
in the process there is the maximum Of opportunity for
injurious habits to find new victims. It is the manifest
duty of the government to see to it that the conditions
which surround these recruits are cleaned up and kept
clean, so far as this is possible.
II the mayor Of Newport cannot or will not act,
and the governor Of the state cannot or will not aid, then
the federal government itself should exercise the author
iy which 1t possesses, and should root out the places Of
d1srepute whose presence is dangerous to the character
OF the men whom the nation has taken into its charge.

light thousand women who want

Eight thousand women who want
to help!
That is the number that Columbia
University has registered on her cards.
Students, graduate students, extension
students, alumnae-eight regiments of
then1-have been listed by the Infor-
nation Bureau of the Committee on
Women's War Work of the Columbia
University Mobilization.
Janus-like, the bureau faces two
ways. When one Of the 5000 wants
to And an outlet for her patriotic en-
ergies in some suitable activity or
training, the bureau tells her about
the Emergency Courses now being
offered by the University; when some
paid worker for some form of special
lied service it applies to the bureau,
and never yet has the bureau failed to
find the right woman for>the job.
The University has divided the war
work In which women nay be espe-
cially useful into five branches Of ser:
vice-agricultural, food, social, cler-
ton of food there are classes in veg
etable raising and there is practice on
farms. A number of Barnard girls

cautious legume to peer forth in spite
OF this springs chilly welcome. Units
of farm students-six each under a
captain-have already started for a
summer of regular toll on dairy,
poultry, fruit and truck farms some
where in New York and New Jersey.
For the woman in the home there
are courses in food conservation and
preservation and on economical cook
cry. This work, which is within the
reach of every housekeeper in the
land, is one Of immense patriotic
value, when 1t Is realized that thrift

which America is to remain well-fed

Of her crops across the seas to her

THE RED CROSS CAMPAIGN

The Red Cross campaign In Grand Forks has start
ed out magnifcenty, and the Indications are that the
work will proceed with similar success until the city has
done all that was expected of It, and more, for the sup
port of the cause represented by the Red Cross.
When the Red Cross chapter in Grand Forks was
organized, but a few weeks ago, while there was general
interest in the work, there were still many persons who
were unable to appreciate the need for such an organ.
ization at this time, because they could not conceive II
possible that American troops in considerable numbers
would actually go across the ocean to take part In the
land fighting. While something of that misconception
still remains, it has practically isappeared. for the reg
istration Of our young men, and the announcement that
half a million of them are to be called out this sunnme
to prepare for overseas service as rapidly as possible
hES had a SOLDERING effect.
We will soon have our soldiers abroad, and there
will soon be real need for all the work that our Red
Cross can do. The work cannot be pushed too rapidly
or be performed too carefully and thoroughly. The be.
ginning has been all that could be asked, and there t
every indication that the entire campaign will be equally
satisfactory.

A MONUMENT TO LEE

The STATE Of Virginia has Just presented to the fsder-
al government, and the government has accepted, 4 SUI
perb equestrian STATUE OF Robert 4. Lee. which will
henceforth be among the features Of the battlefield Of
Gettysburg.
General Lee vas the great military leader of the Con-
fedsracy. and one Of the greatest military men Of the
world. He headed the armies Of the South in an effort
to dtsmember the United States, and for four bloody
years the blood and treasure Of the nation wore expend-
I'd in the effort to put down the rebellion OF which he
was one of the conspicuous leaders. Gettysburg was the
scene Of his farthest advance into northern territory, the
spot where one Of the bloodiest battles Of the world was
fought. Yet it is upon this field that the government of
this nation permits signal honor to be done to this man.
Yet nothing could be more fitting. The world has
long recognised that the conflict in which Lee was en-
gagged was one for which the mon Of his generation were
but partially responsible. They were in part the victims
Of conditions which they did not create, and at that time
there were to be settled questions which, on an import
ant scale, had never before been brought to the test.
Lee was a brave and honorable man. He loved the Unit
ed States. But his environment and training had caused
him to conceive his first duty to be to his state, and with
profound regret he followed the course to which he be-
lieved that duty pointed. His cause having failed. he &C.
cepted the result loyalty. and became q faithful citizen
of the nation. America can afford to do honor to such
Of her sons.

The Best Of Humor

A seedy looking man entered a
store in Trenton the other day and
asked for assistance. backing up his
request with a long tale Of sickness
and lack Of employment.
With a wink at his clerk, the mer-
chant pointed to a friend who hap
pened to be In the place and replied:
TASK that gentleman. He is the
proprietor. I am only a clerk"
The friend received the beggar's re-
quest in a sympathetic manner, and,
turning-to the merchant, remarked:
This seems to be a worthy case, Mr..
Jones. Give him q dollar from the
cash register" and walked out Of the
store.

BURTNESS FOR CONGRESS

y. b. Burtness of Grand Forks is the Republican
nominee for congress for the First district. That decision
was made at the Republican district convention held at
Grand Forks yesterday, and it received the Unanimous

dates.
In order that there might be full compliance with
whatever should prove to be the legal requirements of
the situation. several men who had been discussed as DOS
slole candidates had filed their nominating petitions in
order that, II 1T were decided that they should remain in
the race. their names might without any question appear
on the official ballot. -Four of these mon, including Mr..
Burtness, just prior to the holding Of the convention,
published a signed statement declaring that they would
abide by the decision of the convention and support its
fore be given to Mr.. Burtness. Whether or not the
these men will remain out Of the race. The manner in
which this decision was reached was an evidence of the
fine patriotic spirit which pervaded the proceedings Of
the convention.
Mr.. Burtness himself IL q young man. q native Of
Grand Forks county and = product of the schools Of the
county and state. He has been identified with tho Re-
publican party since he was old enough to take an inter-
est in public affairs. and he has always worked. with en-
ersy for the thorough lberatsing Of the party and Of gov
eminent In general. He has, during these critical times.
been q faithful and unwavertng supporter Of the Amer
supporting the honor Of the nation and the principles Of
free government. and he may be relied on to continue in
that attitude II he IL elected to congress. The Herald be-.
lt0ves that he merits the hearty support Of tho people of
the district, and that, while the conditions are not BY any
mtans AL clear, he has q fair, chance Of election. \ What
ever this paper canfdo to bring about that result will be
heartily and earnestly done. for We believe that the choice
made by the convention, al things considered. il the best
that could haye been made, and . most excellent one.
