THERE WILL BE OTHERS

Aberdeen News-Haig's smash on
the H~indenburg line Is said to be the
greatest since the war started. This
is the second or third biggest"
smash the British commander has de-
livered. There will be others. But
the smash worth waiting for will be
the one delivered by the American
army when it actually gets across the
sea and into real action in the war.
The American army has one advan-
tage that the other allied armies and
the armies of the central powers no
longer possess. 1t goes into action
after the European armies and those
of their colonies have been battling
for more than three years and are
wearied. fresh. vigorous, optimistic
and imbued with the courage com
mingled with enthusiasm which has
ever characterized Americans on the
battlefield. And with these equip
ments, the American army should
travel a long distance toward Berlin
when it once goes cover the top" after
the Germans.

members of congress and our sena-

failure to use the water powers. Some
estimates run as high as a waste of

equivalent to nearly 800, 000, 600 tons

In any event, at a time when the
whole world is straining itself to
meet the cruel demands Of prolonged
war, the United States is criminally
negligent in passing by the develop

velopment of these water powers be
on the whim of one cabinet Of

hcation as Hobo Day is a wholesome
kind of amusement and has quite an
amount Of originality about it but it
winds up in q blaze OF spectacular
glory n which only a few participate
and the crowd contributes it shekels
for being entertained. Expense does
not count when crowds are out for Il
gala day. If it tends to keep u
minds from contemplating the horrors
across the seas, which we can only
in a little measure prevent, then some
of the money we spend for being
amused and entertained is, perhaps,
well invested. But so long as we give
to the prevailing passion, that
long are We putting off the inevitable
reaction that will come sooner or lat
err. We are beginning TO Hooverize
in the consumption of foods but there
is little evidence OF ecOnOmizing in
the matter of other expenditures.
More money will be needed for Lib
erty bonds and the war time benevo-
.lcnces and we shall be compelled TO
sit down and figure out where it is
coming from if We keep on INDUCING

quiz ed during the prevailing good
times of the last decade. 1t is to be

distress, that sensible-supporters Of
suffrage for women, as well as oppo-
ncnts Of it-are passing from pity to

steadily making its way to ultimate
fun acceptance in this country there
is no need here for the extreme tao
tic That suffragists in England had
the grace to put aside in the face of
war and its demands upon all patri-
Otto persons. These women in Wash
ingtuu are achieving notoriety, but
they are doing more than all the anti
suffrage organizations put together to
prejudice a good cause.
In the intensity of their propagan-
da these women seem to have no
CLEAN of realization that, with the ma

the war, at a time when the minds Of
men, ONE and children are intent
upon serving the country, they are

playing a petty part. That they a n
not be awakened to realization of
this by the protests of sensible lead
ers of the woman suffrage cause is
occasion for wonder and for sorrow.
Men and women who narrow their
view SO as to lose perspective we
shall have with US always. Not even
the supreme national appeal and
crisis serves as yet to persuade these
%exploiters that they are setting an
evil example in times that are trying
to strong minds and upsetting to
weak ones.

In the two Dakotas and Minnesota,
at least one a day is the record for
the destruction Of grain elevators.
This is an appalling state of affairs
If true, and there seems to be plenty
of evidence that the statement is not
overdrawn. Governor Norbeck is
aroused over these awful dastardly at
tempts and in a recent interview said
I'VE are facing serious times in
this country, and the |. w. w. and dis

the melting pot. Well it's a big pot

never has done so much melting as

the precautions that they can to pre-
ent any such outbreaks in our midst.
Bookings county has an effective
body of Minute Men, this is the time
when they must be alert and on the
watch. We feel that every one of
them is doing his full duty and per-
haps in many instances they are work

that Bookings county will have to de-
pend in a large share for their safety
and our protection is in good hands.
1t is In the towns, however, that the
greatest vigilance must be maintained.
People must not leave their homes un.
guarded and open to the entrance of
every prowler. Public buildings must
be guarded and places like the eleva-
tors and other storehouses of neces-
sites must be taken care of so that
the hand Of the vandal will not strike
a blow in the dark. We feel that
In all the towns the authorities are
using their best efforts and that guards
have been provided, but the spirit of
the whole people must be aroused to
be on the alert and watchful for all
characters and actions.
Vigilance Is the price of safety, and
We must pay the price gladly in or.
Ter to avert disaster and calamity.

i On and after January 1st,

will be $500, strictly in advance.
The continued high cost OF
everything that enters into
newspaper production makes It
imperative. Publishers in South

ton have come to realize thar,
at present prices, even the
smaller papers cannot meet
their costs on $3.50 to say moth
ing Of profit. The Register is
running nor columns of read

the State for $3.50 but we are
going to give everybody an op.
%portunity to take advantage Of
the present price until January

this respect SO that If they care

can do SO. /,

charge, would result both in the de-
yelopment of these powers, and in a
material addition to the revenues of
the country.
The policy Of conservation was
never meant to become a policy of
waste To allow so millions of horse
power to run to waste is the opposite
Of conservation. The country is now
paying the penalty of undue suspicion
and political propaganda. 1t is for
the coming session Of congress to ap-
proach this question with high spirit
and ound business judgment, and to
DO something.
