THE MlNOT RAID

II the conditions in Minot were anything like what
have been described in the statements sent out on behalf
Of the oncials and others who participated in the recent
raid. It was high time that somebody got busy. There Is
no room anywhere In North Dakota for the blind pig and
the bawdy house. There 10 no town in the state which
can lay the foundation Of a real and permanent prosper
town. That is not a puritanical dogma, but . fact which
has been demonstrated over and over again. very often to
the disaster Of individuals who have undertaken to prove
by experiment that wide-opennsss 10 the road to pros
perity.
The political features involved In the action Of the
attorney general may be made the subject Of further
comment when the facts have become more clearly
established. In the meantime, II such q condition Of
lawlessness rs has been described existed. and the local
authorities either neglected to perform their duty, or
were unable to do so without assistance from the State.
1t was the business Of the attorney general to take hold.
His motive may have been political or otherwise, but his
duty to act was beyond question.
The method Of procedure-if again We are to credit
the stories sent out from Minot-seerns to leave much to
be desired. It Is rather poor business to break one law
in order to enforce another. For the attorney general
OF a state, either by himself or by his agents, to march
into a telephone ONCE and drive a roomful Of girls from
their work and hold them At bay with revolvers does not
add greatly to the popular conception Of the dignity Of
the ONCE or the horse sense of the individual who &C.
cupies it. It makes the whole performance look like a
cheap attempt at the sensational rather than q serious
attempt to enforce the law Of the state.

THE WORLDS BANKER

The banker performs a very important function in
a community. Because he handles a great deal of money
we are apt to imagine him as a man rolling In wealth.
Often this is not the case. He is the custodian Of the
funds Of others, the guide and counsellor Of others in
matters Of investment, and he controls a reservoir from,
which may be drawn the supplies of money which are
necessary for the handling Of the business Of the COM
munity.
The United States has become the worlds banker
Just now she has agreed to loan $76, 900, 900 for the use
OF Belgium. This is but one item. and a minor one, in
the vast total. Practically all Of the allies are being
aided in the same manner. Without that assistance their
work would be hampered, and, while their cause might
ultimately be won, its success would take a much longer
time. and there would be left much heavier burdens
than those which will be necessary now.
Occasionally there are heard sneers at this American
activity. If the United States were to play the part OF
the extortioner. and were to wiring from its neighbors
high rates Of interest under pressure Of their necessities
the position Of this country would be thoroughly con-
tenptible. But we are doing nothing Of the kind. The
money that Is being loaned to the foreign governments
is loaned at a low interest rate. and on terms Of payment
which are exceedingly easy. The reasonableness Of the
attitude which has been taken. by our government in thia
matter is quite we'll demonstrated by the willingness of
the borrowers to accept the loans, and by the fact that
instead Of complaints about the terms there are heard
from them unstinted expressions Of sratincation that the
money needed can be obtained on terms so favorable.

I do not mean by this that every

should necessarily DO put into the
fighting line. What I mean is that
every abls-bodied man Of military age
should be accepted for the army or
the navy, and that when. because OF
their special qualifications, some men
are required for service other thar
strictly military service, they should
not be exempted from military service
before they have Joined the colors.
but should be released from military
service after having formally Joined.
Every decent American Of military
age, every mar who Is no at heart q
Stacker, will wtsh-whether he be ul-
timatsly exempted for special service.
or MOTTO have the honor Of formally

But It IL ever more important that

the name Of Justice and democracy.

WAR TAKES

The tax that is to be levied solely on account Of the
war. added to the taxation for ordinary purposes, will
reach the enormous total Of So. 500, 900, 900. That means,
an the news dispatches have told us. $40 for each Of the
hundred millions in this country. On the basis Of I'VE
persons to the family, 1t means a family tax Of $1S5.
It would be interesting to know about how many
average families there are in the United States. that is.
how many Of the 20. 200. 900 in the country are 50 SIT
uated that they will pay Just about 31e5 to this COM
bined fund. It is possible that some Of the statisticians
may be able to make a rather close guess on this mat
ter, but nobody really knows.
Very many families will pay many times the average
sum. That will relieve a large number Of those less
well-to-do Of what would he their share II all were taxed
exactly alike. Some few families will escape with a very
small direct tax, but 1t is quite safe to say that not a
family in the country will fail to contribute something
directly to the war fund.
But, for practical purposes. enormous though
this sum is, the direct government tax will be but an in
significant part Of the burden placed on the individual
or the family by the war. The increased cost Of prac-
such an aggregate as to make the governments three
billions seem insignificant.
These additional prices are in almost all cases chief
" due to the war. 1t is quite likely that many Of the ad-
vances are unjustifable. They are probably due to the
work of spectators, to the hysteria of consumers, to a
conditions. But the high prices are here, and the con-
ditions out Of which they have grown are war conditions.
Without those conditions the advances would not have

THE SOBER BUSINESS OF WAR
fBy Rex Beach Of the viElantes.)
Today I raw two drunken soldiers

fBy Rex Beach of the Wg1lantes.)
Today I saw two drunken soldiers
on the street. They were young SOL
diers. their uniforms were new and
suMiciently unusual, alas. to excite at
tention. They were ordinary up
standing young fellows. better a lot
than many of US who passed them by.
were not slackers. 1t came as a shock
to . them swaying in their tracks,
waving awkward gestures and grim
ming fatuously. Their. eyes were
bHsarsd, they were foul-mouthed and
abusive. A block below we're the
tents of a recruiting station.
Some boy-they we're nearing the
age for enlistm ent-began to guy the
intoxicated guardsmen: they betrayed
contempt for both the men and their
uniforms.
Women who were passing hurried
faster. 1t was plain that this exhibi-
hon had not helped the cause OF the
recruiting squad down the street.
Prohibition in the ranks was the
hrat answer that suggested itself to
mo.
But Why prohibition in the ranks If
not In the fle?
