THE MILLS OF THE GODS

One of the recent events that
strike us as being uncommonly lax
and deserving of better and haste:
action is the recent ALLOWING of bail
pending an appeal to the circuit court
of appeals and from that court to tae
United States Supreme court, to the
convicted seditionist, Mrs. O'Hare.
The procedure clearly means that
this woman may. be at liberty foI
several years, just at a period III
our history when defamers and treas
onites have NJ place in the scheme of
democracy and country-salvation.
One correspondent decries the lib
erty granted this woman and hints
strongly of the peoples taking "the
law into their own hands," We do
not sanction this disregard for law but
most emphatically do we ask thu:
such convicted d%isturbers be kept
within the pale of espionage.
Our courts cannot be too severe
upon offenders in this regard. The
people L carrying enough on their
shoulders as it is. We are all vitality
interested in this wars reaching an
end at the earliest possible moment.
an end consistent with our If
honor and that will spell eternal
peace among the nations. We are d.
ing what we can to bring about this
eventuality. Our soldiers must have
our moral and financial help. Are VIC
then, after our time, trouble, expend:-
lures, sacrifices, to allow a blatant
demagogue to soap-box her pro-
nouncedly nihilistic views upon us,
thus insidiously weakening the cour-
age strained to a trying point?
We say decidedly that Mrs. O'Hare
should be given every chance to sho~
an e%xtenuating circumstance. It IS
her due. But we also insist that she
be given summary justice-a justice
that shall not be allowed to mold,
crumble, disintegrate or become inef-
fective through the passage of time.
The Government must be safeguard
ed against reasonable fanatics.
What warrant have we that this
woman will not again, while awaiting
another trial, seek to stir certain dis
tricts to discomfort by pouring the
poison of misrepresentation into the
ears of the people? We say: Give
her justice; but make it short and
swift. We cannot afford to wait oii
this Exceeding fine" theory.

VALE 1e17-HAIL 1918

The old year is dying. And with it
must die regrets, failures, sorrows.
ills, worry, venom, hatred and su-
pineness. The old year has not been
a bad year. It has seen hopes real
lied, burdens made easier, a more
cordial relation between man and man
is apparent. W. have learned the
lesson of conservation and cooperation
and have trampled selfshness into the
mire Of What Was. Crops have been
plentiful, poverty lessened and though
we may have been deprived at times
of all that we wished for, we have
lived, laughed and loved as is the ma
ture of mankind.
Comes the new year with a glorious
promise of wishes to be fulfilled, Of
hearts to be made happy, of songs
to be sung, of work to be one, of a
general softening Of sentiment toward
the karsher features of life. The
general accomplishment is due en-
tirely to individual taste and desire.
AS thinks the individual, so thinks the
mass. A concert of thought and action,
developed by the same ideals, will eff
feet the purposes of betterment. GAS
a man thinketh in his own heart, so
is he." Let each of us idealize amt
then seek the consummation of those
ideals that we may have a hand in
the worlds good doing.
The old year is wing. The new one
with it's opportunities is just ahead.
Let us so live that our deeds will
mark a gradual scoring over the year
that is just passing around the bend.

WALLA May NOT BE-
TRIED AT This TERM

Court will convene at Mandan,
Monday, January z, with Judge Nues-
sic presiding in the absence Of Judge
J. NJ. Hanley.
There is little likelihood Of Eugene
M. Walla, former clerk in the auto
mobile department of the secretary Of
states office, being tried on the charge
OF embezzlement at this term. The
criminal calendar on the Burleigh
courts December term is very heavy,
and there is little likelihood that it
will be possible to move the Walla
case before the middle Of next week.
In the event the case does come up
then, it would be necessary to draw
a new panel, it is believed, the present
'veniremen having heard a great deal
about the case and many of them
having listened to Walla's own testi-
mony, and by the time this was done
the Morton county court would be
ready to begin grinding. !.
There is a possibility Of a change OF
venue being taken to Morton county,
in which case Walla would be tried
there before Judge Nuessle. "Ihe
trial Of MI. Walla will be conducted
in exactly the same manner as that Of
Mr.. Hail." said Attorney Genera
LANCER today.

CHRISTMAS CAMOUFLAGE

There is a decided humorous side -
Christmas and one gets the full force
of this just after the occasion. Cam
outage is no small part of the funny
feature. An exchange aptly notes q
few remarks called forth immediately
after the opening of Christmas pack
ages. Here they are: "Well, for
Heavens sake" "Just what I wanted"
GLOW did you ever guess?" u
never dreamed" II knew it all the
time" "Isn't it dear?" whats this
for? ?" "I didn't know she was going
to send me anything" Down be-
meath the surface of these is a cur
rent of inconsistency though a pleas
urablc thrill romps the spirit with the
EXPLANATIONS.
Then, consider the pride with which
pleasing presents are presented to a
supposed-to-appreciate public. For
instance, we noted on Christmas day,
a little lady in a purple dress who evil
denced plainly by her manner that
she had been the recipient OF a golo
wrist watch. It's very newness was
no indication; but the frequency Will
which she glanced at the face OF the
watch, the untutored turning Of the
wrist and the grandiloquent swing
with which the arm was dropped t.
the side-all of these presaged the
identity of the present. Then we sa"
a young man going along Willard
Street, cold as it was, with his coal
open and a vast expanse OF shirt
bosom exposed to the breeze. A new
scarf, certainly. One with the gaudl'
est Of coiiors. A crowd of little girls
each one trying on a new coat thai
finally passed to it's owner who wore
it as would a queen. A Christina;
present, truly. W. had the prospect
of new shoes, a timely scarf, a neck
lace of beads-typifying the season
and it's incoherency.

PATRIOTISM VERSUS POLITICS
From lizards Dairymarl

FROM hOdru DdL1 yAhh"AA ]
There " was a time, in modern
history, at least, when there was sucn
a. need of plain, practical, good sense
in matters Of government as just now.
A blind crazy radicalism seems to
have taken possession Of vast num-.
hers Of people-even in this land OF
conservative democracy-of whom we
should expect better and more con'
structive ideas. These people pay no
attention to the lessons Of human
history. The lamp Of experience
never lights the pathway their feel
are treading. Their vision is fixed on
some will O. the wisp light, that LEAFS

AS a rule, farmers as a whole do

FOR SECRETARY OF WAR

President Wilson is facing seri-
GUS dilemma in the situation which
obtains in the War department with
reference to the securing Of equip
ment. But his problem does not end
with the War department and the
army. The disclosures being made by
the Senate investigation will weaken
confidence in the entire conduct of the
war and will lower the morale, both
of the army and the nation, unless
summary measures r taken to cor
rect conditions.
A measure which, we are sure,
would appeal with overwhelming force
to the great majority of loyal Ameri-
cans would be the placing Of the War
department in the hands of Theodore
Roosevelt. Such a step would not be
a discredit to Secretary Baker even
if that were a consideration standing
in the way. It would not mean the
abandonment; by the administration of
any of it's popular principles or tenets.
It would mean simply that while we
are at war and every ounce Of our
strength against the enemy is needed,
the patriotic thing to do is to place
lin command of the fighting forces of
the ration a civil officer whose patrio-
tism is unquestioned, whose vigor il
celebrated, whose experience in Fed
eral administrative office. is large
and whose executive ability has been
proved and demonstrated.
What would such an appointment
accomplish for the winning Of the
WARRIOR that is the only material
consideration to engage us at present.
We don't care anything about the
views of the Secretary Of War on
militarism or pacifsm. We don't ARE
about his political affiliations, and
we should dismiss from our minds
any prejudices which do not relate
strictly to the subject in hand-the
winning Of the war.
What, then, would the appointment
of Roosevelt accomplish? We a De
sure that it would accomplish dispatch
and g quickened life in the War de-
partnent. It would introduce the ele-
ment of quick and accurate decision,
where confusion and indecision have
prevailed. But more than that, It
would restore the confidence OF the
nation. It would enkindle the enthu.
sias1n Of fighting men. 1t would
create good feeling in political circles.
It would call, the bluff of those who
charge this war belongs exclusively
to the Democratic party. And not the
least important Of ALT would 'e
bad news in Potsdam.
Many columns could be written Oh
whv Col. Roosevelt is the logical man
to place in the chair of the Secretary
of War. But that is not necessary.
The people know it. Col. Roosevelt,s
enemies know it. The administra-
ton ought to know it. There can be
no argument against it-no argument
which assumes that until the war IS
won every available resource should
be used for the winning Of it-sr.
Paul Dispatch.
