The Roll Call

The Christmas Roll Call for this
year, 1913, is the one great and uni
versal call to the people of the
United States to enroll themselves
in the grandest ministry of service
that the world has ever known.
In answer to the call of humanity
voiced by the President. the think
ing people of the nation have been
unified for the advance of liberty
and the rights of man.
The man power of the nation has
been given unstintedly for the pros
ecution of the war, and for the
strengthening of Our Allies.
The producing power Of the ma
ton has built up a solid, serried
line of great corporations, immense
factories and vast industries.
The labor power of the nation has
given quick and loyal array of
millions of skilled and unskilled
workers. Brain and Drawn. capital
and labor, have Wed with each 9TH
er in instant response to the call
that challenged them to the willing
task of winning the war.
Not that we love war, not that
mailed fist and shining armor and
cleaning sword had any place in
our American vocabulary. Our
passion was for Peace, but we
found ourselves forced back into
the jungle, face to face with the law
of fang and claw, where we had to
fight or be destroyed, and because
we did not choose to be destroyed
TO see Liberty perish among men
we chose to fight until the foul thing
that dared to stand athwart the
path of human progress was beaten
and buried forever from sight.
All this America has done and is
doing, and our army and navy is
the soul of the nation modified for
victory.
But there is another side to the
nations life-another phase of the
nations duty-Justice itself stands
in line for the punishment, the
elimination Of wrong, and it stands
equally for the recognition and es-
tablishment of righteousness
Behind the purpose of war that
would combat and destroy, there
must be continual force that will
conciliate and renew. That force
springs from the soul of the Red
Cross. 1t is the nation modified
for service.
The United States entered the
war for the vindication of an ideal.
It is the greatest mother in the
world, because it is the embodiment
of unselfsh mercy, and unseifsh-
ness is the test of brotherhood, just
as brotherhood is the test of demo
cracy.
In the days that are.to come when
actual peace has finally been de-
clared, and the world is struggling
with the work of rebuilding what
war has destroyed, of gathering the
scattered, of bringing succor to the
weak, establishing law and order
where chaos and confusion had
reigned, it will be the spirit of the
Red Cross, incarnate in the world
wide ministry of service that shall
guide the feet of the nation along
the path of enduring peace.
Through carnage, desolation, blood
and mire,
Mid scenes that cry to an aveng-
ing God,
The Red Cross Army moves through
scathing fire,
Clothed In white garments, with
quick mercy shod.
Commissioned is that army from
above;
It's standard is a Cross. its watch
word-Love.

Those who heard Major Brown speak at
the Rotary club luncheon yesterday, may
understand better one reason why the
German drive in Flanders has been check
ed.
Major Brown helped take the Passch-
endaele ridge last year.
We waded through mud to our hips, -
he said. Amy person looking at it, would
wonder how it would be possible for troops
to advance through it at all. There were
times when for days at stretch it was i'm
possible to find even a place to sit down. !"
1T has been raining heavily in Flanders,
and it is in such positions that the Germans
have been checked. They can't advance
without losses which appal even the Ger

where they are, exposed TO Allied fire.
They can ! retreat without inviting severe
losses.
And meanwhile Kaiser Wilhelm hurries
back to Potsdam, called by serious poll
teal crisis. The serious political crisia"
may mean that the German people are
realizing that they have been duped again.

FORESIGHT PAYS DIVIDENDS.

During 1917 the Delaware, Lackawana
& Western railroad laid $4,000 tons of new
rails for some $50, 900 less than nothing.
HOWE It purchased the new rails before
the war time prices were in effect and it
sold the old rails for $32, 900 more than the
cost Of laying the new ones.
But railroads, like individuals, rarely
learn the lesson of buying in low market.
When prices of material are low, and when
labor is begging for employment, railroads
and other industries have hesitated to
make needed improvements. They wait
for boom times and high prices.
Similarly when prices are low, few
spectators or investors have the courage
to purchase stocks. But when the market
is climbing every day, the buyers fall over
themselves in their eagerness to get in.

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted To The Task OF Keep,
ing Up With North Dakota Editors

The Grand Forks Herald has this comment OF
the nominee for the Republican party for gov
ernor:
The members Of the Lincoln Republican
league made an excellent selection when at
their meeting at Minot they unanimously en-
dorsed John Steen for the Republican nom
ination for governor,
Mr.. Steen is an old resident of the state
q practical farmer, and thoroughly identified
with the agricultural interests Of the state; a
capable official, who has given the state good
service in the four years during which he
has served as state treasurer; q. man whose
probity has never been called in question;
and square oed, outstanding American cit
iZen, who believes In Americanism from the
ground up, and a man who has the clearness
OF understanding and the moral integrity
which leads him to give first place in his
consideration 20 the issue that is hrst Of all
in importance-the winning OF the war.
There Is not camoudage about Mr.. Steen
mo Ifs" and "buts, and s'Whereases." He
does not use the words OF patriotism to mask
the purposes of sedttion. He stands for the
support of the American government first,
last and always, and if he is nominated and
elected the state will have an executive who
will need no apologies, who will be governor
in his own right, and who will owe no all
legianca to any political boss within or with
out the state
There are many Republicans who could
have carried the banner of loyalty worthtly
in the approaching prin1ary campaign but
none better fitted for the task than John
Staen.
