position Of general manager of the
United States railroad, should be the
adjustment Of the private car.
There is one man in America who
should be permitted the use of a pri-
vate car. That man is President Will
son, and the private car should be
provided him as a matter Of protec-
ton. The President Of the United
States cannot be left at the mercy Of
every anarchist who cares to ap-
proach him, or even Of the curiosity
squad and those eager to have a
word with the President.
But the ordinary, every day sena-
tor, or railroad president, or million
aire, or even cabinet minister should
be able to dispense with this luxury
in war time, when the capacity of the
railroads is taxed to its utmost
While the roads are doing away with
such Iuxuries as observation cars,
and chair cars, and other useless APP
pendages, let them make a clean
sweep and turn all the private cars
into the shops to be remodeled into
day coaches. And If Uncle Sam is
going to continue to operate the rail-
roads, there is no reason why the
private car should ever return. 1t
has no more place in America than
a title.

The New York World: The Ma
tional Nonpartisan league, at present
composed of northwestern farmers
is organized for political purposes
upon a familiar principle. There
are so many millions of farmers and
so many worlSingmen in the country
If all can be brought into the league
1t will exercise a controlling power
at the polls. II all pay SIG q year
in dues the treasury will presently
make Mark Hanna's campaign chest
look like a contribution box in a
charity school.
Objection to this movement rests
not so much upon its alleged pacifism
and pro -Germenism or its sympathy
with the /. w. w. as upon the fact
that it is a new and locally formid-
able attempt to separate the Ameri-
can people into warning classes. In
this respect the North Dakota
evangels of suspicion. hate and
violence do not differ much from the
BolshevilSi of Petrograd or their
brethren on the east side OF. New
York who recently essayed the con-
quest of the metropolis.
No one need imagine that the Nom
PARTISAN league will be able to carry
out its program. 1t will fail, as
similar undertakings in the past
have failed. But the amount of
mischief il may do before Ii shall
have run it's course invites serious
conjecture. In the hands Of desper-
ate men it might easily become a
menace to many states and so to
the nation itself. But its chief vic
tins will always be found in its own
membership.
With many different kinds of alien
classism rampant in that section
there is increasing need Of unity be-
tween those Democrats and Republic
cans who first OF all are Americans.

REAL WINTER IN NEW YORK.

North Dakota can't get excited over
reports from New York of record
breaking temperatures" Of 6 below
zero.
New York, on the other hand, gets
very much excited over reports of 30
below or 40 below in Fargo, or st.
Paul or Grand Forks.
Both arc mistaken. Six below in
New York means real hardship and
80 below in Dakota is nothing to
worry about.
II We had the choice between them,
we would take the 30 below in Fargo.
All that has been said about Da-
kota's dry cold" is very trite, very
bromide. but very true. And any
North Dakotan used to 80 below rec
ords, who has experienced New York
in winter, knows that below there
is real weather"

JOKER IN THE BILL.

II prohibitionists win their fight for
an amendment to the national con-
stftution, only to find out there is a
joker in it. that gives the states and
the nation concurrent" power in its
enforcement, certain congressman
will retire to private life.
The country is in no mood to stand
such trifIing as that
The prohibition map now shows
twenty-nine dry states out Of forty
eight. Only three states west Of the
Mississippi river show black on the
map. They are Texas, California and
Nevada. Only one other state in the
south, Louisiana, is wet. The black
states are nestled around the Great
Lakes and in New England, and even
there there are breaks, as for example,
Maine, Michigan, Indiana, while Iowa
and West Virginia encroach on the
wet territory. Several Of these wet
states have had very close calls, and
more than half Of Minnesota is dry.
The prohibition amendment will
win. 1t will find the necessary sup
port among the states, to become a
part OF the constitution, and it should
be a clean-cut victory. The old trick
Of passing unenforceabIe laws, or
laws with a Joker in them, has been
the favorite weapon Of the forces Of
John Barleycorn. and this very trick
has had more to do with his downfall
than any other factor. If the con
current power" joker was deliberately
placed In the amendment, those re-
snonsibie for II should be known. If
il crept in by mistake or an over
sight. it can easily be corrected. The
power to enforce the national pro-
hIbition amendment should be left
unequivocal1y with the federal gov
eminent. That will not prevent states
also having their own laws on the
question.

Fool Tolerance
BY Margaret Widdemer
Of the Vigilantes.

Whatever faults, crudities or vul-
garities other nations have accused
us Of in the past-and they have not
spared us-there has never been a
word that was not in praise OF
American hospitality.
We have welcomed, wonderfully
genially, largely, all the visitors who
dropped in to write US up, or make
lecture tour; we have gone further
when the other nations told us we
were crude, or vulgar, or pushing or
grasping, we have meekly agreed.
This characteristic has extended
itself not only to the well-bred lee
turing visitor, but to the immi-
grants. We have said, in effect, for
generations: Welcome! We are
sure you are going to be good Amer
leans. We won't be rude enough to
tell you that there are some of your
old-world characteristics we don't
like. If you wish to speak your mind,
why, speech is free, and you had a
hard time over in the Old Country
you praise so desperately"
We have trusted, as a whole, to
their good sense and honor and
courtesy. 1t is part sentimentalism,
part the intense American sensitive
ness, a large part easygoingness and
NiSAAhS VI 6CbbAL4k 4AAbu q AOWa ohk We
have been acting polite hosts too
long. There is such a thing as fool
tolerance.
The other night l was at q meet
ing of literary society, where was
read a poem-not perhaps, a per-
feet poem-but one full Of good
American patriotism and honest en-
thusiasm. A German, a man known
to all there as one OF the most clever
and notorious Of the propagandists,
rose and sneered at the poem. He
said everything that a clever mind
which wished to discFedit AmePics n
ism could suggest to belittle the
poem. He neatly picked out its vul-
nerable points. Then he smi1ingly
sat down. There was an aghast hush
at his breach of good taste. And be-
fore anyone could tell him what
they thought of him another man
arose-one of the kindest- hearted of
good Americans-and stepped into
the breach. He tactfully smoothed
over the objectionable thing the
German had done-the German who
was enjoying the way he had made
fools Of the stupid Americans, and
who was smiling still as he heard
the good patriot-a genuinely good
patriot, a man who works hard for
his country-out of mistaken kind
illness, mistaken mercy, mistaken
dislike of hurting German feelings,
cloud the issue with friendly words!
That is fool tolerance. An Ameri-
can who had done a thing like that
in Germany would find himself be-
ing kicked by German guards in an
prison camp the next
morning.
AS nation, we've got to answer
back when self-respect demands it.
It's time we stopped fool tolerance.

THE DILEMMA OF THE 5oLsH,
EVlkl.

Any comment on conditions in
Russia must always be qualified by
the lack of definite information on
which to base conclusions.
Despite the confusing reports of
provisional peace pacts, which seem
to be nothing more than an agree
ment as TO what will be done IL q
general peace is declared, the fact
seems well established that Germany
will not make a separate peace with
Russia on the Russian terms Of no
annexations and no indemnities. II
that fact is true, the Bolshevik gov
ernment is in a critical position.
The leaders came into power be-
cause they promised an immediate
peace. They must return TO the peo-
pie with the information that this
peace cannot be secured from Ger
many on the basis of no annexations
and no indemnities. unless all OF the
Allies agree to those terms. In 9TH
er words Germany will not give up
her Russian conquests until the
Allies restore German colonies. The
conquered territory in Russia is the
chief trading asset left to Germany.
The Bolshevik government, there
fore, must choose one OF three
courses. It may advocate the dis.
graceful peace that might be secured
by relinquishing all the territory
Germany has occupied; it might
openly go over to the side OF Ger
many and attempt to buy the return
of this territory by assistance given
to Germany; or it might suddenly be-
come warlike, and send out a rally
ing cry to the nation, stating that
Germany had refused a democratic
peace. and must therefore be
humbIed.
The latter would be good politics,
both international and domestic. 1t
might gain for the Bolshevik gov
eminent the recognition abroad that
has been denied it, 1t might rally
the wavering Russians to its stand
ard and enlist the support of. the
Cossacks, the Cadets and the less
radical Socialists.
In this amazing country where the
unexpected is always happening,
such a course is far from being i'm
possible. If Russia should suddenly be
swept with a wave OF patriotism and
renewed enthusiasm for the war, it
might prove the crushing blow to
Germany, for however ineffective the
Russians might be on the offensive,
1t would compel Germany again to
man the great line from the Baltic
to the Black sea and exhaust her
dwindling reserves, at time they
are most needed In the west But
that may be a new years hope rath-
FL than probability.

Ellsworth Huntington in the Janu-

The science OF citizenship has
failed to be properly developed be-
cause two OF its three component
factors, namely, heredity and physi-
cal environment, have not received
the recognition accorded to the
third, which is training in the broad
est sense Of the word. Where mil
lions Of dollars are devoted to educa-
tional, religious and philanthropic
institutions whose main object is to
train people, only hundreds or tens
are devoted to improving the here
ditary endowment of our citizens
and to overcoming the effect OF the
adverse features of our physical en-
vironment. Consider how little we
know about heredity. The new
branch Of biology called eugenics.
which deals with man as a creature
having a good or bad Inheritance, is
doing wonderful work In determining
the complex effects OF heredity and
Of racial mixture. but its most devot-
ed adherents do not pretend to have
made more than q beginning in solv-
ing the complicated problem OF aliens
in America. How much do we know,
for example, Of the effect. Of inter-
marriage among various races such
as Swedes, Turks. Irish, Greeks,
Poles, Hindus, Jews and Firms? ?
Among domestic animals we do not
permit certain crosses because
harmful characteristics appear,
while we encourage others because
they give rise 10 qualities that are

London, Jan. Especial. 1.-The
new sea lord OF the British admiralty
was, like his predecessor, a hero at
the battle OF Jutland.
But Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn
Wemyss, the new sea lord, found
most OF his fame eclipsed by Admiral
Sir John r. Jellicoe, whom he has
just succeeded and who was acclaim
ed throughout England and the ally
countries as the Hero of Jutland
Vice Admiral Wemyss became Sec
ond sea lord in August. Although
little known to the British he has al
ways borne a reputation of being a
first-rate fighter.
Admiral Jellicoe has been elected
to the peerage in recognition Of his
very distinguished services. The
hope is expressed that his experience
may be utilized later in another inn
portant post.
There long has been strong criti-
cism OF the conduct of the admiralty,
and discomfort recently had deepen
ed into sharp disappointment and
dissatisfaction at the impunity with
which German raiders again sank a
British convoy.

The commissioner first arrived in

to France in November and his gov

While Captain Tardieu pointed 70

attack on the western front during

The urgency OF an enormous

BY way of tribute to Col. f. NJ.

Thanks to the presence of Colonel

In intellectual circles we had also
