THE ISSUE IN NORTH DAKOTA

One week from tomorrow the North Dakota pri-
mary election will be held. The purpose Of the primary
Il to enable the voters Of the several political parties
to select the men whom they wish to appear as their
party candidates at the fall election. Three organized
parties participate in the primary election this year. the
Republican. Democratic and Socialist parties. In the
Democratic and Socialist parties there are no contests
worth considering. The Republican party is the DOM
sinant party in the state, and the contests for nomina-
ions are chiefly confined to that party. The contest
in the Republican party is between two groups of can
didates. each representing, a definite idea. On the one
hand are tho men commonly known as the Nonpartisan
league candidates, who include the governor OF tho state.
who seeks denomination and reelection. and most of the
present state officers. who are also candidates to sue
coed themselves On the other hand are candidates en-
dorsed by men not in sympathy with the present leader
anip OF the Nonpartisan league. and not in favor Of a
number OF important policies advocated by those league
leaders, AT the head OF this group of candidates is Hon.
John sseen. now state treasurer. and a candidate for
the Republican nomination for governor.
The chief Issue, as It has developed, notwithstanding
TIE efforts that have been made to disguise it. is that Of
the sort OF loyalty to tho American government and
American institutions which accepts unquestioning1y and
approvinsiy the position Of the United States in this
wal. and which will permit no interest. of any kind to
stand in the way Of the prosecution Of the war in such

The New Presidents installation

At the University Of North Dakota today the exer-
cises will be devoted to the formal installation Of DR..
Thomas F. Kane as head Of the institution.
DR.. Kane has been In actual charge Of the work Of
the institution for some months, but now, at the close
of the school year. he is to be formally indicted into Of
flee with ceremonies in keeping with tho Importance Of
the institution and of the position which. it is to be hop
ed. he may fill for many years.
DR.. Kane comes to the institution at a time full Of
great possibilities. The institution has passed through
various stases-ats infancy. when it was but a small
academy doing a certain amount Of collegiate work. its
early growth into a college Of considerable dimensions.
its later years when the growing population Of the state
had brought its attendance to a point when it became
numerically one of the important institutions Of the coun-
try. and the gradual change in the character of its or
ganization to enable it to meet better the needs of the
time.
Just now the institution is recognized throughout the
country, not alone for the size Of its faculty and student
body, but also for the character of the work that it is
performing. And now, as never before, there Is need for
wise direction along lines of safety and progress. so
that while the nation itself is engaged in the supreme
struggle of its existence for the preservation of the ideals
which it follows. there shall be carried on in this corner
of the country a work in the development Of citizenship
which> will, when merged with similar work done all
over the land, produce a type of democracy which, as
has been suggested, will be safe for the world.
DIR. Kane has a great work before him. He comes
to the work we'll prepared, and he has given evidence in
his short residence here that he has a clear conception
of the scope and import of that work, and of a capacity
to take hold Of and perform it. He is to occupy a po-
sition of importance in relation to those who are to be his
in the work Of instruction and guidance, to the
army Of students who will pass through the institution
year after year, to the state, which created and is respon-
sible for the future Of the university. and to the local
in Grand Forks, where he will necessarily
come into close and frequent contact with the people of
the city and with the various problems with which they
are confronted from time to time. To him and his wife,
whose place in the life Of the university is an exceeding
~ Important one, the hand Of greeting is extended on
this day which is to mean much to all Of US.

incumbent upon them to come across and get down to
business. They are around here.-these fellows who
wanted to fight, but who didn't want to go into the back

the realms Of the constitution to discover that it was

to invade American shores Germany has brought the

STLLLAT 1T

The sinking Of another merchant vessel off the vir.
ginia Capes on Saturday or Sunday by a German subma-
rine brings the total number of these sinkings ON this
side of the Atlantic up to 40. Most of these vessels were
of small tonnage. A few we're Of some importance as
carriers. None we're engaged directly in military trans
port work. although the activities of several were more OF
less directly related to the war.
Under the methods which Germany has adopted in
her ocean warfare it is idle to discuss international and
humanitarian regulations in the expectation that any
comment which may come from any quarter will result
full to recall that in the manner in which her ocean war
fare is conducted Germany is continuing without abate-
ment the unlawful and brutal methods which have mark
ed her course ever since the war began.
The sinking of a war vessel is an act Of war. and
those on board that ship must expect to take the chances
of war. They are on q mission Of hostility to the enemy
country, and are themselves subject to attack and de-.
struction. But even when a vessel Of war is destroyed
the customs of the civilized world and the dictates Of hu-
mainly require that there be no needless loss Of life
and that. so far az possible. the occupants Of that vesse
prisoners Of war.
In the case Of merchant vessels there Is another and
entirely distinct element Such ships. no matter to what
warning has been given, and until all persons on board
have been placed in safety.
In these. as in most other cases where tho rules Of
cttivization are involved. Germany has openly and fla
GRAVITY offended: War vessels and merchant vessels
alike have been attacked in such a manner as to amount
to deliberate murder. and in a great many cases the crews
of German submarines. instead Of seeking to preserve the
lives Of those who could in no sense proceed against them
have taken pains to kin them as they were struggling in
the water. In other cases "safety" has been interpreted
to mean the placing of dsfenseless people on the open
sea in small boett hundreds Of miles from land. All
such conduct. outrageous ~ It is, has characterized the
Germans since the beginning Of the war.
The presence Of German craft on this side Of the At
lantic was 20 be expected. It's military significance II
slight. but IL il an annoyance which Will be ended as
speedily az possible. And we must not become inapau.
Nent II our navy does not Immediately find and destroy
this rider o. these raiders. for It must be
that the Atlantic IL . rather large body Of water. and q
submarine may b difficult to find in It.
