INDIAN WARFARE.

(From the Springfield Gazette.)
How far German methods have
changed the aspects and processes of
war is strikingly shown in the re-
marks Of a French drillmaster who
has had American recruits in training.
He is quoted by Charles H. Grasty,
who writes to the New York Times
telling of the French troops on parade
in Paris, as follows:
"As human beings and raw material
your men are the very best. But they
need a deal of training. The hardest
thing to teach them is not to be too
brave. They must learn first to hide.
Bravery and human flesh are 40 good
against machine guns or barrage fire.
Those splendid fellows will want to go
right at the enemy just as the Eng
lish did, who. are just now learning
how to strike without risking them
selves too much. Methods in this war
are largely those of stealth; in using
men with plenty Of artillery, machine
guns and airplanes."
What is this but a return to the tao
tics employed by American Indians?
In this point Of view the world car
recognize a much-acclaimed efficiency
as a reVersion to barbarism and prim-
tive terrorism. If this mighty war OF
1917 does not beget a hatred of war in
the minds of men it will fail Of its
logical and most needed effect. y,

QUEER NOTION OF DEMOCRACY

Senator LaFollette serves notice that he intends TO
fight CONSUMPTION at every opportunity. and he declares
that CONSUMPTION will be the issue in the next national
campaign, and that 90 per cent Of the people will be
found against it. His theory is that in q democracy
armies should be recruited only under the volunteer
system.
Mr.. LaFollette has several queer notions, and this
is one of them. Quite a number of people do not
like CONSUMPTION, just as quite a number do not like TO
pay taxes. But nobody-unless it may be Senator La
Follette-maintains that men ought not to be required
to pay taxes, and nobody that we have heard of. except
Mr.. LaFollette, maintains that there is any necessary
between a democracy and the volunteer sys-
tenn OF recruiting. 4
No matter what a mans objections to conscr1puon'
may be, it wousd be difficult to find a man who is capable
Of thinking and reasoning who will not admit til at univer-
sal liability to military service is fair and just, and that Il
is the only fair and just method 1t is essentially
democratic because it places all citizens on a basis OF ex-
act equality. No other system does that.
Mr.. LaFollette's idea carried to its proper CONCLUSION
is that in a democracy every man shall do as he pleases
If he may shirk the citizens most important duty, in the
nations greatest need he surely must be permitted to use
his own judgment as to his course in. other matters
Carried out to its logical conclusion that ldea Woulo sne
us just plain anarchy.
issue of CONSUMPTION in the next campaign. It may be
that Senator IaFollette will find in this material from
which he can build a platform to do duty while he makes
an another attempt at the presidency. But the La
Toilette presidential campaigns have not got very far
and we predict that If the senator takes up this issue witt
such a purpose he will be in for another disappointment

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL FAIR

Another has been added to the long list of successful
fairs at Grand Forks, and the state fair of 1917 may fairly
be said, from the standpoint of general excellence, to have
eclipsed ell its predecessors. This is as it should be, for the
handling of fairs is a progressive work, and the field auto
matically expands as its original area is occupied. There, is
always room for improvement, and with a live lnstltutlop,
Improvement Is constantly being made.
The progress made has been general, but the develop
ment of the live stock feature at the fairs held at Grand
Forks has attracted special attention all over the north
west. The state fair at Grand Forks has come to be recog-
nized>among breeders, exhibitors and buyers as one of the
greatest stock shows in the west, with the "of-year' fair
but little, if any, behind. $50
This is not due to chance. It is due chiefly to two rae
tors. First, while there have been changes from time TO
time in the personnel of the board Of directors, most or
the original members have been elected year after year
This has made possible the formation of a continuous pol
icy, and continuity is one of the secrets of success in the
management of fairs, as in a good many other things.
Second, the board of directors, with a vigorous and ef-
hcient secretary working in harmony with them, has
adopted and stuck to the policy of placing the strongest

fair properly provides an objective for an outing, and
given an important place on the program, the serious pur.
resources of the state, especially its agricultural resources
which constitute the backbone of the prosperity OF our en-
tire population. Without agricultural prosperity there car
be no prosperity for any one in North Dakota. The key te
that prosperity is the live stock industry. for upon the de-
velopment Of that industry depends. in very large meas,
ure, the conservation of the soils fertility, the regularity

THE GIRLS ENCAMPMENT

People who have not been too busy to read the news
papers have read something about the girls encampment
at the state fair. Many saw the camp, and thousands
enjoyed the flag drill given by the girls. Perhaps. with
SO many things claiming attention, many neglected to in
form themselves as to the purpose of the encanpment
and failed to appreciate its meaning to those who partci-
pated.
The series of young peoples encampments was
started several years ago with a boys camp, and this
was followed by others until last year when the first of
the girls encampments was held. The camp this year
accommodated about 80 girls, with from a dozen to a
score of matrons, chaperons and instructors.
~ The discipline in the camp had not quite the rightly
that marks a military camp, but it was sufficiently exact
ing to insure perfect order, close attention to the work to
be performed, and the benefit that comes to a large body
from acting in order and in unison. All the movements
were timed, and during the entire day and night every
girl was under the supervision Of those in charge of her
tent, and was required to follow the regulations closely
The girls came from the rural school districts from
all over Grand Forks county. Most of them were
strangers to each other. Many had had no previous ex-
had no experience in anything resembling the drills that
were given.
4 Those girls have had new experiences, and have made
new friends. Their outlook has been broadened. They
week they have subjected themselves to rules and reg
ulations established for the good of the entire body, and
they have had an opportunity to note the need for such
things and their advantages.
Without exception these young people proved them.
selves tractable and adaptable. They met as strangers
They parted as friends. They enjoyed the week, and
they have taken home memories which will serve then
we'll in their later life.
