the Northwest. Each tends to produce the condition with
respect to which he complains.
No special effort seems to have been made to enlist the
of the farmer in the line Of Standardization with
the needs Of the hour. excepting as he has been urged to in
crease the output Of his land.
True, the government has appealed to the country through
the press, but in this matter its chief attention has been direct
ed, not through the channels of information nearest the farm
CT, but through the big daily newspapers, which circulate
largely, and in some instances almost exclusively, among the
business and professional men. The great farm papers and
the WeekIes, whose circulation among the farmers outranks
that Of the big daihes about ten to one, have been largely
ignored by the men in charge of the governments department
of publicity.
1t must be admitted that in the region Of which Mr.. Wold
speaks there is a certain degree Of apathy, but, as indicated,
1t is due, in part at least, to the two causes noted.
Mr.. Void would be rendering signal service to his coun-
try is he would intervene to the extent of securing the selec-
ton of a man for the department of publicity who could grasp
all phases of the situation and appeal to the various classes
of citizens through mediums that command their confidence,
The farmers-whether ~justifably SO or not is not a matter
for immediate consideration-have become imbued with the
idea that certain Of the daiies have been under the thumb of
interests which hoped to profit UNNECESSARILY by war.
Had the proper appeal been made, in the proper way and
through the proper channels, to the country at the turning
point in the governments international policy, possibly there
might have been a marked difference in sentiment in the region
mentioned by Mr.. Void.
Let him unite his efforts with those of others in getting
better acquainted with his %neighbors of the great Northwest to
the end that a mutual understanding of the situation may be
established.

WHY NOT VOTE ANYWAYg

The editor of The Saturday News has many times, in
years gone by, criticised the failure of Watertown people to
vote at their school elections.
Our department of education is one Of our most important
branches Of government, and yet, as a rule, we manifest
scarcely passing interest in the selection Of the members of
our board of education.
True, we have been fortunate in having men Of charac-
ter and high ideals to attend to our school affairs. but it is our
fortune that it is so.
Once in a great while we muster up sufficient interest to
east about onefourth to one-third of our. votes, and the bal
ance of the time we let about a dozen of our citizens do the
voting for lis.
Not that it makes any material difference, it is true, with
|only one candidate in the field, but merely as a matter of
form, why not attend the polls on the day of the school cleo
ton, June 10, and cast tleast half our known vote?
Ii the candidate now before use. B. williamson
should happen to receive, say, a thousand votes, not only he
but the other members Of the board woAd be justified in
experiencing a feeling of elation-would they not2
The Saturday News suggests that WATERFOWL plan to
outdo itself at this years election by casting an unusually
heavy vote for one involving the selection Of only one member
of the board.
Since the women have a voice in naming the members of
the board of education, it would be a source Of qualification
allaround if, say, a thousand Of our women should march to

THE END OF THE WORLDl

We have never before been impressed especially with the
idea that the end of the world is near, speaking from a literal
standpoint.
But we are convinced that If it is not close at hand it is
coming at the rate of sixty seconds to the minute.
The supreme court of the state Of Minnesota has thrown
q man out OF office because it is alleged that he lied about his
Opponent during the campaign which resulted in his election!
James r. Wallace defeated Edward w. Hawley in an
aldermanic race in Minneapolis, Hawley being a candidate for
reelection.
An appeal was taken to the courts, and, as stated, the
supreme court has ousted Mr.. Wallace on the ground that he
participated In and pro9ted BY the circulation Of false charges
