WHERE HOOVER FAILED

In spite of Herbert Hoover's good
record as a psychological expert IN
food dictation he seems to have
overlooked one good bet in not
drafting Lazarus Finkelstein of Chi
cago as a living example of the
benefits of Hoover;sna. 1t is too
late now. He is dead at the tender
age of 100 years.
He had not eaten meat for forty
years; never drank coffee OF liqu-
ors, or smoked; never seasoned his
food; never ate pastry; had chick
en- almost daily. His principal food
was rye bread, sour milk, potatoes,
beans and peas; a perfectly Hoov-
eriZed diet.

THE FIRST HARBINGER

In this latitude any %harbinger of
spring creates a distinct iiuttec. The
first pussy willow Is worth a front
page story; the honor Of c%hronicling
the first robin is holly contested; the
early lights of north bound ducks
and geese are observed with glad &C
claim. All these are the conventions
al sIgns of spring aud yet it is strange
that the first and most reliable indi
cation of winters wanei is not classed
among the harbingers. We refer to
the spring bat; it is on view in Pierre.
Nature serves her notice of springs
approach when she gets good and.
ready but the milliner is always in
advance of nature. The pussy willow
and the returning birds may encour-
age optimism but the millinery trade
is optimism itself. Whatever its ar.
~chitecture, colors or price we are
glad to see the spring hat; it is the
first harbinger.

RUSSIA STILL CROPPING

Russia has had its Mirabeau in
Kerensky. Present indications are
that it may make a Robespierre of
Lenine.
When the French revolution, it
sought to introduce a rational con-
stltutionalisnl in place Of a feudal
royalism; Mirabeau, a strong re-
sourceful character, led in this first
phase of the revolution, 1t was the.
real revolution for it forced feudai
royalty to recognize the rights of
the people. Similarly Kerensky in
Russia headed the real revolution;
he was leader when Russia assert
ed the rights of the people with
such emphasis that czarism was
deposed.
Revolutionary France came to its
terror not through following the
principles of Mirabeau but through
.discarding them. He did not live to
see the supremacy of Robespierre,
the extremist. But, just in Russia,
the people had SO long been ground
down by an excess of exploitation
that they would not Immediately
accept a popular government that
stood for moderation. k~obespieITe
rose 10 power as the starving prole-
tariat clamored FOR revenge rather
than reform. The government he
headed was as frankly group gov
eminent for the benefit of a group
as was the old royalist government.
For that reason it failed TO endure
and Robespierre himself came
clinging to the guilotine.
Recent developments in Russia
diSpiay some OF inc signs oWaIu
Lenine as were noted in the early
stages of Robespierre's decline.
The Bolsheviki have done much to
clear air internationally but in their
own country are already signs that
an attempt to govern an entire peo-
pie from the viewpoint of any one
group, royal OF democratic, is as
much of a fallacy in 1918 as it was
in 1898.
Russia will, come through a bet
ter nation for its revolution but il
is still in process and not an accom-
plished fact. The whole world may
well observe and ponder and profit.

mall measure, and of itself harm

small measure, and of itself harm
less.
Neither the government nor the
Democratic party is to be hurt by
criticism that is malicious and with
out foundation. And neither will
be hurt by honest and sensible
criticism except upon refusal to
heed and profit by 1t.
The flames of the nethermost
hell are not hot enough for the
man who attempts to play politics
with this war. And that goes two
ways; it applies to democratic poll
ticians equally with republican poll
ticians. And there is no other way
of playing politics with the wal that
is quite so despicable and quite so
dangerous as to try to divide the
country along the lines of party or
race or creed; to seek personal or
imputing d~isloyalty to men individ-
ually or in mass, or to do it merely
because their contemner doesn't
like them.
The World-Herald as a newspa-
paper democratic and independent,
is frank to say and proud to say
that it can detect no essential diff
ference between the two great par
ties so far as patriotism is con-
cerned. 1t regards the republican
leaders and republican newspapers
on the whole equally loyal with the
democratic leaders and democratic
newspapers. There r individual
differences, in kind and degree, but
patriotism, we r%everently thank God
bears no party label. And the lack
OF fundamental patriotism IS some
times noticeable in those that draw
invidious comparisons and pharisi-
aicaily proclaim their own loyalty
as the purest.
We will never win this war as an
angrily and hatefully divided people
1t is as a united people--united be-
cause t~olerent, forbearing and just
with one another that we must win
it. Speeches like that of Senator
Stone others that doubtless will fol-
low it speeches that tend to make
good Americans lose sight Of the fact
thar III war is ON Germany no
OH one another, that tend to embit-
ter and influence and inhame us
among ourselves such speeches had
far better never be delivered -Oma

CHANGING GERMAN NAMES

In the weller of ridiculous sup
preston or German language teach
ing in the schools and other belit-
thing efforts to appear patriotic at
our own expense, by vilifying some
thing innocently German that was
unhesitatingly accepted before the
war, it is soothing to come upon
such a splendid exhibition of COM
mon sense as that displayed re
Gently by the governor of North
Dakota.
The capital of North Dakota is
Bismarck, a city of about 5000
people, most politicians. 1t was
named after the German statesman
and, although there were many Cit
liens of North Dakota who may
have thought it named for a certain
brand of herring, it was accepted
as a good enough name for a good
enough town.
A few weeks ago some super-pa-
triot conceived the idea that for the
name of the town to remain uB
changed would give aid and COM
fort to the enemy and an effort to
have it .sAmericanized'' was be
gun. The governor, who may be
misguided in some things, accord
ing to the politicians who tell it,
displayed his common sense when
he declared Bismarck has been
out of German politics for some
time and had nothing to do with
the present trouble"
Canada and England and Russia
oil made the ridiculous error OF
STOPPING to pifhe by changing the
name of certain cities that had a
German tang. The governor OF
North Dakota has set an example
for America. We have several
thriving communities named after
German cities, communities that
have achieved renown throughout
the land under their present names
and that would lose much prestige
under strange names. They mast
not make the error Of supposing a
change in name will make their pa
triotism any more sound. We have
plenty Of good American fighting
men il training camps now whose
christian names are Wilhelm, but
the name IS not going to make them
lsss ready to fight; neither would
changing il make them better SOL
diers.
America needs to pay more at
tention to the important things aud
less heed TO piffe if il is going to
win the war. SURPRISING German
narnes aud blackguarding the Ger
man language will not advance us
one foot on the road to Berlin.
