The Remnants
Have TO-DAY All to
Themselves

To-day-the day of remnants and odd
lots-is the day when one can make many
needed purchases at the shopping Center"
and at actual savings in cost.
AS we have talked Remnant Day offer
lngs so many times before, most people in
Richmond and nearby places are familiar
with them-however, we wish to remind
you that Remnant Sales are quick sales,
and you had best come early.
Again we wish to call attention to the
special offers at first floor booths.

OF THE s
KAISER'S MISTAKES.

The war was begun by the kaiser and
continues as conflict between auto.
cracy and democracy. v
According to the designs of the kaiser
German "kultur" was to dominate the
whole Of Europe. So far as the entente
allies are concerned the best the kaiser
can think Of at the present would be )
drawn contest. except for Russia. Here
he probsbly thinks there has been do.
cided success for German intrigue
though not a very great success for Ger
man arms. .
But we wonder how much Of success
the Russian revolution may finally be tp
the kaiser. He has succeeded in "put-
ting Russia out Of the war" at least tenn.
porary. But what Of the futuref As
We said this is : fght between sutorfacy
and democracy. Tho recent events in.
Russia have not been gains for anto.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1917-11-23

cracy but rather for democracy. Russia
Just at present is case Of democratic
extravagance. It is democracy without
government. It is democratic chaos.
Yes it is all these and more, but with Il
all it is democratic, and far more so
than at the beginning of the war. Then
the people of Russia submitted with but
little opposition to the rule of the czar.
Except for few enthusiasts they were
content to live as they had lived and as
their fathers before them. But no one
now believes that the Russian people
will ever again be ruled by an absolute
monarchy.
Hence the kaiser IN his success IN
manipulating Russian affairs has simply
made another vast democracy on the
boundary Of Germany.
German diplomacy was ssuccessful in
demoraIising tho car and his courtiers.
but Germany isn't big enough to Cor
mamie : hundred asd eighty millions
|of. Russians. s2 2

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Russia is just as unsettled as ever.
There have been bloody riots in Petro-
grad and Moscow. Details of events
there are contradictory. The stories ap-
pear to be told according to the report
er's personal beliefs and prejudices.
In Italy, while lighting is going on no
definite progress has been made by
either of the eontending forces. French
and British reinforeements are backing
up the Italians and no doubt the Ger
mans are moving large bodies of troops
from the Russian battle lines to those of
Italy. Neither side will probably be
ready for supreme test of strength for
several days yet.
Yesterdays dispatches told of another
big drive made by General Haig's men
northeasterly from Arras. The move
ment was on thirty-two mile front and
penetrated the German line in the CEN
ter for five miles. This brings the Brit
ish close to Carabal which is railroad
center. The Importance of this advance
is equal to anything that has occurred
on this front since last spring. About
5000 prisoners were taken.
1t was remarkable progress, in that
1t was undertaken without artillery pre-
paration as has been the case in all lm-
portant assaults heretofore. In order to
clear the roads and wire entanglements
rs we'll as the advance machine gun re-
doubts Of the Germans, ''tanks'' we're
used to 60 ahead and it is reported that
they did very effective work.
Last week the U-boat warfare only
got one British ship over 600 toms; this
week's toll however gets back to the
average with total of seventeen OF all
sizes.
1t will be noted that at this time both
sides in the war are doing or attempting
the unexpected. Perhaps because Of
desparation but doubtless for popular
effect in their own countries. Winter
will tend to check these attempts but
before that time sets in definitely many
things can and may happen. Both sides
need some decisive successes with which
to feed public opinion during the months
OF forced inaction. The winter may
freeze out war enthusiasm lin all the
]. countries and peace talk begin to show
tangible results.

SELF MADE HONESTY.

There is certain class of papers, we
will not call them newspapers because
that seems to be out of their line, whose
sole existence is for the purpose of in
fuencing public opinion. Some of these
papers are all right and serve useful
purposes perhaps politically, perhaps
rellgiously, perhaps for good morals
generally. But there are large num-
Der OF papers published in this country
whose principal purposes appear to be
destruction. They eat bitter herbs and
digest pesslmistic bogies. They are
dissatisfied with the world and the way
the Lord made it.
This class of papers never cease to
curse the common every day newspapers.
Their favorite name for the daily and
the local press is the subsidized press,
meaning thereby that practically all
newspapers are not only for sale but are
already sold to the devil and all his
works. According to their published
statements Diogenes could not discover
an honest editor in these days if he used
an electric search-light instead of
lantern unless he happened to look into
the sanctums of the "classified journals"
Bnt he would not need to hunt for them
however. for they proclaim their super
lor honesty from the house tops and IN
the market places. like the Pharisees of
the New Testament.
All OF which reminds us of the old
story wherein agroup of men made a
wager as to which could tell the biggest
lie. Each did his best in that line and
really got off some gems. One member
OF the party was silent. On being asked
shy he did not contribute to the pro.
gram he replied ~ cannot do it; why,
u never told q lie in my life" He was
somewhat surprised when the stakehold-
|er walked up to him and presented him
with the purse as having ontdone all the
others.
z When man or paper prates too
much about their own honesty and Of
the dishonesty of others watch out.
Human nature does not vary greatly in
Glasses Of individuals.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1917-11-23

But do we all realize that the calls
for these extra duties, that now seem
almost pleasure to. perform, may last
months or even years? That by and by
war work and war contributions will be-
come an old story and may become tire
some to even the most enthusiastic?
When the racer runs the hundred
yards he can and does put all bis
powers into the ten or eleven seconds
from start to finish. but if he is starting
in a ten mile race he gauges himself &C
cordingly. He knows he must reserve
his strength and as it we're divided it
equally along the whole distance.
In this war work it will be we'll to look
ahead and to some extent at least figure
on making your strength hold out to the
end for as to the racer, the last end will
require the most effort and resolution.
The women of England and France
have been doing war work for more than
three years and to-day their work is
more necessary than ever. Here in
Pembina a band of devoted women
daily meet to sew for the Red Cross.
We wonder sometimes if these latter
realize that they have enlisted ''for
three years unless sooner discharged on
account of the close of the war' just as
the soldiers are?
We wonder if when the citizen writes
his names on subscription paper and
places certain sum opposite, if he con-
siders the fact that he is expected to
keep right on signing subscription papers
and paying taxes for the support of the
army for the same period of for which
the soldiers have been enlisted?
We wonder also if the people ever
think of the possibility of these burdens
being doubled, perhaps made ten-fold
greater by adverse fortunes of war?
Are the American people ready to shoald-
er any weight of load to win this war?
We are not croaking or prophesying.
We are rot pessimistic as to the out
come OF the war. We believe that we
shall be victorious and we do not see
how the war can possibly continue for
year longer. But unknown and unfor-
seen changes may make great and deci-
slve differences in conditions. Even
under present conditions and posslbili.
ties it is not hard to imagine that the
whole defence of democracy might fall
upon Britain and America alone.
1t is the height of military folly to
either unduly fear or undervalue the
strength of the enemy. Let us size up
the possibilities, calmly, fearlessly con-
siderably. We may have long march
before US; let US take our gait accord
ingly.
Have you enlisted for the '.duration
of the war;?
