THE PURPOSE OF WAR

The war of the revolution was not begun, on the
side OF the American colonists. for the purpose of de-
tending the existence of a nation. The colonies were a
part of tho British empire, and in the early stages of
the dispute which eliminated in war the colonists did
not expect or desire severence from that empire. They
went to war to protect the rights which they claimed
az free citizens Of that empire. rights which their fore.
fathers had established by the shedding Of their blood.
They could more cheaply have paid the taxes demanded
OF them. submitted to the indignities which were I'M
posed on them. made friends with the cabal in London,
and enjoyed the blessings of peace. Instead, they pre-
ferrsd to fight.
The civil war could havs been avoided had the
American government chosen to do as many of its citi-
sens advised. and permitted the slave states to 70 their
swn way and set up their own government. The free
dom Of the slave. while it was involved. was not the is
sue. The issue was whether or not this nation, or any
nation conceived and dedicated as this had been, could
long endure. Lincoln was willing to risk everything to
demonstrate that the nation could endure. Therefore he
and the millions who believed as he did, preferred to
Eight.
The United States can today avoid war on terms sim
ilar to those on which war could have been avoided In '7e
and In 81. There are no complications about the prob
lem. All that Is necessary is for the United States to
make 1t known that she will not lift a hand to protect the
rights which are daily being assailed by one of the
would also be playing the part OF traitors to the history
OF q thousand years. and basely yielding not only our in
adividual rights. but the liberties of all the world.

PROPERLY REPUDlATED

The action taken on Saturday evening by the mass
kmeeting of university students in repudiating the publica-
ton recently issued in the name Of tht students of the law
school was both prompt and satisfactory. It is gratifying,
100, to know that the disavowal was not a mere matter
OF FORM but represented the real sentiment of the student
body IN general. It was q spontaneous expression Of
honest Indignation by young people who resent the fact
THAT the name Of the institution which they respect, and
lin which they take PRIDE, has been associated with a
epiece Of vulgar stupidity,
Copies of the. offensive publication have been scat
tered far and wide. and the name Of the university has
Ebsen dragged in the -dAr<- te ~ only fair to tho sustssus
Etion, and to the hundreds Of decent young people who
are students there, that full weight be given as well to
the fact that the students themselves arc doing what they
lean to remove a stain which has been placed upon the
Of the institution by no act of theirs.

THE SITUATION UNCHANGED

The great Townley meeting at Grand Forks ia over.
From the standpoint Of attendance the gathering must
have been a disappointment to the promoters. Despite
the herculean efforts Of the paid organizers who have
been drumming up attendance for weeks. and despite the
fact that delegations had been brought in from distant
counties to swell the numbers. the audiences were made
up in each case more largely Of city people who attended
out Of curiosity than Of farmers who had come to testify
to their loyalty to Townley. And yet. II the statements
as to sustained interest which have been made are true,
1t ought to be easy to I'LL the auditorium to overlooking
from the immediate vicinity Of Grand Forks.
However. the thing was well staged. The clacquers
were we'll distributed 10 that the applause could be started
IN the proper spontaneous" manner; the proper ques-
lions were asked by the right people. and the ready-made
answers were returned from the PLATFORM; the proper
resolutions were railroaded through; and everything went
as per program.
The farmers wore assured that they were abused
and downtrodden; merchants and bankers. the milling
and packing interests. The Herald and the Normanden,
and various ana sundry other persons and organizations
were denounced with all the energy OF people who make
,denuncfation their business. The farmers who have been

PREJUDICE
(From the Milwaukee sentinel)

(From the Milwaukee Sentinel.)
Prejudice is an insidious thing. 1t
creeps into the soul unaware. It
leads up to say and do wrong things:
it warps Ii judgment and leads to
injustice, unkindness and ever cru
city. It paves the way for hatred
and malice. In proportion as we
learn to clear our minds of prejudice
we become better men and women;
we win friends and dissolve enmities;
we are more worthy of respect and
CONFIDENCE. No one wants to be judged
by false standards that prejudice sets
up. Beware Of judging others in
such light. Prejudice cramps the
mind and the heart: it stands in the
way Of rightful growth Of character.
1t is wise to search your heart and If
you find prejudice there to set about
to root it out wholly. Do not be sure
you Of all mel are u~nprejudiced.
That is the danger; for prejudice is
guarded by vanity. Seek to be lust
in all things, small as we'll as great.
In all the relations Of life be sure you
are not judging another. not for his
error but from your prejudice. For
the worst thing about his weakness is
that 1T breeds injustice and unkind-
ness and malice. 1t hurts innocent
folk and makes no M happier.

C%ONFlSCATING PROPERTY

The resolution adopted at the socialist meeting on
p riday, urging the government to take for its use dur
.lng the war the property which 1t needs, without COM
is similar in its terms to that which was adopt
led by the house caucus at Bismarck during the leeisla-
ftive session.
The purpose Of such resolutions is to stimulate the
Esprit OF class antagonism. AS in other cases where this
tspirit is manifested, its expression commits those who re-
cord themselves as in favor Of it to a good many things
(which they do not intend.
The intent Of the demagosues who propose expedi-
Esnts5 Of this kind is to tickle tho ears Of those to whom
their appeal is made, in this case the farmers of the
aliss that the adoption Of the principle which they ad-
ARE asked to approve It.
The army expenditures Of a nation are infinitely
greater for the products Of the farm than for instruments
kof destruction. The soldier spends the greater part of
Hhts time waiting. There are times when he IN decidedly
active IN actual fighting. and In q very short time he can
shoot away several dollars worth of ammunition. But it
eAkas many months to get an army recruited, and drilled,
ina into actual service at the front In the meantime he
muG eat and drink, and be clothed ana sheltered. And
rho people who manufacture and carry his supplies to

khe active service begins there are only occasional periods
ef lighting. But the consumption Of the necesartes Of
afe goes on all the time.
Hence the governments greatest need IL Of tho
Shings that are produced by the farmers Of the country

and potatoes, and a thousand things that are familiar to
everyone. The logic of such resolutions an those referred

MONEY in ELECTIONS

(From the Columbus, Ohio, Journal.)
Twenty years ago the Republican
party won its victories on an expendi-
ture- OF 100000 and even less: now
1t loses on an expenditure Of $500, 900.
