CHOOSING A

1t is by no means the easiest thing in the world to
select a man for mayor of a city. There are men who
are capable Of giving good service. but very often bust
ness or personal reasons make it impossible for
them to act. 80.
That the incumbent must be a man of personal In
tegrity goes without saying. II he is to give ~satisfac-
tory service he must be a man of business capacity.
Unless he has demonstrated the possession Of that cap
acity in the management Of his own affairs. he is not
likely to command the confidence OF the people in his
ability to handle the affairs Of the city successfully. He
needs to be familiar with the affairs Of the city. Be-
fore he can act efficiently he must have that familiarity,
and tHmc will be saved, and bcttor york will be done If
he has a reasonable degree OF knowledge and ex-
perience when he takes charge o.. .ne executive work.
With the possession Of these and >ther qualifications
which are In some cases essential and in all highly i'm
portant, the citizen who is to hold the position of mayor
must be able and willing to devote the necessary time
to the performance OF the work. This is the obstacle
that is often met. The man who is mayor of such a city
as Grand Forks, and who performs we'll the work which
is expected Of him must devote not a little, but a great
deal of time to the work. He must be willing to make
sacrifices of his time. his energy, and occasionally Of his
money for the benefit of the city.

SCIENTIFIC GUM.SHOEING

: The German government has issued an order in
effect prohibiting the publication Of articles relating to
the possibility Of the geological resources"of the country
being used for military purposes. There is a good deal
Of speculation as to the cause for such a remarkable
order. The only one that appears to have occurred to
anyone is that the government fears that if enemy ma
tons learn from the German papers that military use is
being made of the deposits Of one sort and another that
lie under the German soil they. the enemies, may take it
into their heads to utilize some of their own geological
resources in like manner. VI
That process of reasoning is entirely worthy of the
German character as it has been exhibited in very many
of it's activities in this war. The German is supposed to
do as he is told, and to believe what is handed down to
him. Perhaps he does not always follow instructions.
but that is another matter. He is supposed to follow in
structions, and not to so outside of them. BY a curious
process of reasoning the belief has been developed in
Germany that other peoples are as unsophisticated as
the Germans are supposed to be. Hence, if the German
government suppresses the publication of facts, and
speculations about geological possibilities the other ma
tons of the world will remain in dense and profound
Ignorance of the whole subject. That is a typical sample
of German reasoning. 49,. ain , f

GERMANY'S DOMESTIC TROUBLES

Germany is far from being a united nation. There
are divisions in her politics, and from time to time we
see evidences of the workings of powerful forces that
kaiser to the possession of IL divine right to rule. There
are several groups in the legislative body which are more
or less strongly tnctured with democracy, and just now
these groups seem inclined to assert themselves. There
is more open evidence of opposition to the junker policy
Of the subjugation of other nations than there has been
at any former time since the war began, and the gov
eminent seems powcrless to quell these cbulHtions of the
popular spirit.
All Of this is satisfactory, as far as it goes. But 1t
would be a grave mistake to place too much dependence
on 1t. The stronger the spirit of democracy in Germany
becomes the sooner will the German people insist on the
abandonment by the government of the ambitions Which
were the direct cause of the war. But while the Ger
mans are not united in policy, they are, thus far, united
for military purposes, and we must deal with them on
that basis.
The best informed men among the allies, while ad.
hitting the usefulness of the growth Of the democratic
spirit in Germany, place their reliance for success in the
war, not on the collapse of Germany because of interior
troubles, but on the physical force of the armies which
can be brought to bear against her armies. In othe,
words, We must figure on winning the war by fighting
and in no other way. If conditions develop meanwhile
that make the task easier than it would otherwise De
so much the better. But our job is a fighting job, and
we are in the fight until the finish.

ground that income is income, ne matter from what

alike.
Every tax system is full of fallacies, and this is one
Of them. 1t does make a difference from what source
an income is derived, and as a matter of equity the diff
ference should be recognized in levying taxes.
Two men. we will say, receive incomes OF SIC, 900

NEW REGISTRATION LAWS

Bills being prepared for passage in congress pro-
vide for the registration for military duty Of oil men who
have attained the age of p since the last registration
day, June 5. This, it is estimated, will render 700. 900
additional men a year available for service, and the step
reason why the man who became 81 just prior to June
6. 1917, should be called on for military service while
another man who reached that age a few days later
should be exempt. Probably the ideal plan would be to
have each man become liable for service on his 21st
birthday, whenever that may be.
We must not fall into the error, however, of suppos-
ing that any system of continuous registration will &C.
ways in the country just SO many men between the ages
of q and 81. We cannot increase that number. OF
course we can increase the size Of our army, or Of the
group from which our armies are drawn, by taking in
all men as they reach their majority and not releasing
any of them. But even that process could not be con-
tinued indefinitely, for those of The older classes would
presently begin to die of old age, and we would again
have reached a fixed condition.
s.. There may be some difficulty about retiring men
who have reached what shall be fixed as the age limit
for service. At present the man who is just nearing 81
is on the same basis with the man several years younger
He takes his place in his proper class, and must report
for service when called on. If a dead line were made
a few days service. That would scarcely do. 1t seems
that a better plan would be to require not more than a
certain period of service Of any individual until he has
had an opportunity to return to civil life and his place
in the ranks has been taken by some new man.

HNEIOUl NEW Win ouu.J s.HEr
President Wilson's order for the re-
organization Of the department of
labor near that the United States
has learned one great lesson in the
war. The government now recognizes
that the successful prosecution Of the
military campaign requires the mo-
%bili"ation. distribution and conserva-
ton of workers 1t is a lesson we
should hav. learned from the ex-
perience OF other nations; indeed, we
did have a vague notion Of the i'm
portance of intelligent supervision of
fiabor when we entered the struggle.
But the actual necessities Of the case
were not comprehended until our
own errors and mistakes enforced
lthenf on us.
What the president has called on
Secretary Wilson to do is to reform
his department and align it with the
ton. The new establishment will in
clude a countrywide system Of labor
Exchanges; all under one directions; a
Iplan for the adequate training of
workers. an agency to direct the sup
ply of labor to the industries essen
tial to the public welfare. instruments
for the adjustment of disputes and
their tasks n in their homes. =
Through the intervention of the de-
partment of labor it will be possible
to prevent the waste that now occurs
because men of one trade are idle
when they might be employed at an
other, and because industries ham
pered by lack Of workers r unin-
formed of the market in which their
wants could be met. The extrava-
CANT idleness characteristic of sea-
sonal trades can easily be modified, if
not done away with. There are many
occupations now producing luxuries
that an be diverted to necessaries
with profit to employers, employees
and the country.
Only now are some citizens awak-
ening to the act that in this war the
whole power OF the nation must be
eXerted. We cannot win victory in
the conflict unless every atom. of our
energy is directed to n end. Mo-
tiii*ing maj power means more than
rutting armies in the field. 1t means
that in all FORCES and shops, on all

can will be exercised under con1pe-
tent guidance to the achievement of
