"DRY" DULUTH.

Pittsburgh Gazette: The rapid prog
ress of prohibition in Minnesota as a re-
suit of its local option law was COM
mented on recently in these columns.
But much as the opponents Of the IL
quor traffic have been encouraged by
the success Of their cause, they had
scarcely anticipated such a triumph
as the enlistment of Duluth in the
ranks of the cities that are dry" The
victory possesses Significance out of
proportion to the population of the
place. Official statistics have not been
necessary to convince the stranger
within the gates that Duluth has been
a stronghold OF the saloon. Along its
principal street drinking places are
more numerous than establishments
devoted to any other kind Of business.
On Saturday afternoons and nights
and on paydays in the lumber industry
this thoroughfare is thronged with
stalwart specimens of the northwest
ern backwoodsman devoting them
selves enthusiastically to the alcoholic
celebration Of the occasion.
While Minnesota resents being in
Guided in the region OF the wild
West" Duluths main street has re-
manned to remind US Of what those
lively. disorderly pioneer days must
have been like. DESPITE its fine. chur-
ches and schools and hotels. Duluth
has always seemed like q bit of the
wild and woolIy" left behind by civili-
zation's westward sweep. A dry Du-
luth, OF its own volition, was unthink-
able The best that had been hoped for
was its summary reformation through
the passage of a statewide prohibition
law. as provided for by the legislature
next year.
A saloonless Duluth thus early, IL is
felt, should leave little doubt of
dry victory throughout the state in
1918. The spectacle Of lumbermen and
miners from the Lake Superior region
trying to acquire a taste for lemonade
and chocolate sundaes should afford
many a subject for our up-to-date car
toonists A dry Duluth promises to
be more than a nine days wonder.

and colleges; and the state univers-
tiles feel and express more sympathy
with the serious difficulties which be-
set public high schools than the en-
dowed institutions do. Nevertheless,
the endowed institutions, particularly
those that aspire to attract students
from all parts Of the country, always
desire to keep in touch with the public
high schools; so that the graduates OF
those schools can. through a moderate
amount of extra study, obtain admls-
sion to the endowed institutions OF
their choice. Behind the immediate
reason for dropping Latin require
ments, however. lies an increasing
sense Of their inexpediency in de-
mocracy which wishes to have the
secondary and higher education as ac-
cessible as possible to all competent
youth. Some people are Furthermore
convinced that the Latin requirements
are futile; that is. that they do not
really promote scholarships Of 'cui-
tivation' in the youth who have to be
forced to comply with them.

The Kaiser stands Alone.

The Worlds Work: The kaiser faces
the dismemberment of his dream oil
world empire and the end of a personal
power that has for many years threat
ened civilization with the present war
He is another of the long line of reac-
tionary figures who have taken the
feudal doctrines of the middle ages and
tried to drive back the Irresistible
growth of individual rights and human
liberty. George III. was a small char
acter and stupid. Napoleon the First
was a magnificent tyrant. Napoleon
the Third was scheming and petty. But
none OF these, though they lived in
supposedly less civilized times. ever
descended to the inhuman and the con-
scienceless beliefs and practices which
the kaiser has adopted to reach his
ends. In modern times he stands alone
of all rulers, either OF those who in
herited power or those who acquired 1t
by their own abilities-damned in a
class by himself,

THE CASE AGAINST coMPULS.
DRY LATIN.

Charles w. Elliott in the Atlantic:
The immediate reason that most of
the state universities have abandoned
all requirements in classical languages
for admission is that they desire to
maintain close afiliation with the
public high schools. Now public high
schools the country over have almost
cease to provide instruction in Greek,
maintain instruction in Latin with
increasing difficulty. Their pupils are
as a rule accepted at the state uni
versities on certificates; and this
practice tends to maintain somewhat
intimate relations between high
schools and these universities. The
wishes Of principals and local school
boards or committees are more re-
garded by the state universities than
they are by the endowed universities

Copenhagen.-Talk OF peace, as re-
Hected in the German newspapers, Is
indefniate and uncertain. although
rumors OF impending developments on
this line appear to attract more atten-
tion in Germany and Austria than
Americas entry into the war. Premier
Tisza of Hungary In an Easter article
In a Budapest weekly writes that he
thinks he sees signs of the dawn Of
peace on the Easter horizon, though
possibly wilder conhagrations may
damc up.
The fortress walls OF our enemies
are beginning to show CRACKS" he
writes The events in Russia portend
similar developments elsewhere" Evil
IDENTIFY the premier had Italy in mind.
Count Won Reventlow Of the Tages
Zeitung is apprehensive that If peace
comes 1t will not bring all that ardent
German annexationists crave. Only a
peace founded on complete victory, he
declares, can save the monarchial sys-
tenn of Germany, destruction of which
is tho obvious aim of the entente and
President Wilson.

lief that reform OF the Prussian fran
chise will be undertaken during the

gary with scathing arraignment Of
conditions in one country ruled with
out parliamentary institutions during

cizes sharply the German nationalist
party, saying 1t Is attempting without
tenance of dominion over nonGerman
races.

papers April 7. After careful study
the foreign office declared that there
will be no official reply.
The Weser Zeitung of Bremen ex-
plains the entrance of the United
States into the war as follows:
American world policy demands un-
restricted backing by England in the
case of a Japanese-American war.
That is why the English enmity
against Germany had to be taken over
and supported by the United States
which was actually forced into war
in the face of anti-militarism and its
stand in favor of the protection Of
small nations. Truly, an absurd and
nonsensicai situation"
