FOOLED TO THE FINISH

Berlin puts on her finest clothes, rings her
gladstone bells, and celebrates. The kaiser con-
graduates his people on what his armies have
done, and makes his eldest son chief OF regiment
of the Grenadier Guard or something else equally
as good The German newspapers proclaim great
victory on the western front, which they add
"justifes the hope of peace"
Alas! there is people so wooden-headed that
they can be fooled all the time!
There was no great German victory on tne
west front. There was a great advance, only: But
let the people of Germany rejoice and be glad
before the awful lists Of German dead and manned
come in.
Nothing had transpired to more strongly JUS,
tify the hopes of peace. Every freshly slain
Briton, or Frenchman, or American was another
bar to peace Scores of thousands Of new-made
corpses make an insurmountable wall against any
sort of peace forced by Germany. The rivuets OF
blood, trickling to the Redeemed Somme, Ancre and
Disc today, flow toward an ocean OF blood every
drop of which cries out against peace that does not
mean humiliation of German militarlsm and the
positive control Of the people who believe in 1t by
the civilized nations.

BRILLIANT CAREER CUT SHORT

The untimely death which took First Assistant
Attorney General Daniel V. Brennan in st: Paul
hospital early this morning cut short brilliant
career and deprived North Dakota OF a clean,
manly, likable public servant. Dan Brennan was
an able trial lawyer young man of sound balance
and of good judgment. He handled for the attor-
new generals office some cases with which he
probably was not in sympathy, but he never failed
to make good showing, and he showed degree
of tact which left even those on the other side
friends with the young barrister
Personally Dan Brennan counted his friends
by the hundreds. He came to North Dakota when
but boy and grew up in this state. Those VINO
had watched him develop from boy had fond
hopes for his future, hopes which without doubt
would have been justified had Dan Brennan been
spared to round out a normal life
The Tribune extends to the sorrowng family
that sympathy which every citizen of North Da-
kota feels today on the receipt of this sad and un-
expected news from St. Paul. The Tribune shares
with Dan Brennans legions of friends everywhere
in the state deep sense Of personal loss in his
going.

America is not in this war for pride's task. 1t
is not fighting for fame nor prestige to American
arms It is fighting the battle of the world, and
if the American troops can best be used as sub
merged units of the allied forces let it be. No
patriotic American will object; no American sol
der will do less than his best because some French
or British division may receive credit for his PROV
ess. AS matter of fact, unprepared as the MAJOR
portion of our troops it is far better that they
be merged with seasoned French and British le.
gions, which are in far better position to irnpart
the necessary experience to our boys than are
their brothers who have been in France but a
short time. The adoption of the allied plan OF
action will make it possible for America to place
in the field 100000 men in shorter time than
it could, under the original system, get an individ-
ua American army of 100000 into action. We
are fighting in this for results, not for indi-
vidual glory Everything else must be subser-

and and Frank Robotka, Of the dtvis'
ion of research in agricultural, econo'
mics of the University of Minnesota,
who have issued a bulletin on the sub
ject after an extensive investigation.
Judged by the number of failures and
the comparatively slow numerical in
crease, the bulletin states, indications
are that the cooperative store is not
more efficient or economical, than the
priavtely.OWned store.
=. =: Furthermore. the report continues,
until the cooperative movement eX-
tends to, embrace both wholesale and
manufacturing lines it can not be con-
sidered as wholly successful. -
1.-THE cooperative store is popular
and successful usually only where the
private stores have been inadequate
or extortionate," the reports declases.
In other words, the advantage to the
patrons ordinarily consists in saving
an excess OF profits demanded by the
retailer over normal competitive
profits. = ~, -'. :

We have no room in this great federation of ours
for an alien state.
Berger, the pro- German soapbox agitator of a
type all too familiar in North Dakota, received
less than Is per cent of all the votes cast. Berger
stood on a platform very much similar to that
which LaFollette expounded from the stage which
he shared with Governor Lynn j. Frazier and
President A. c. Townley at that infamous Pro and
Con convention last year. And Berger, in a state
normally sociastic and very largely composed of
former German citizens and their descendants
had his answer at the polls yesterday.
Let us hope that the returns from Wisconsin
are prophetic of what we may expect from other
states. In Minnesota and in North Dakota are
issues practically IDENTICAL On the other hand we
have Americanism, 100 per cent patriotism and
answering loyalty; on the other we have a
damned neutrality which stinks to high heaven;
q carefully camouflaged pro-German bent; a
hypocritical fawning upon Old Glory with one
hand while the other hand reaches out behind the
folds of that starry emblem to grasp the hand of
the foe within and the foe from without.
