NOT CENT FOR TRIBUTE

de1lant sentence OF MT. f1nCkney, uttered q
good many years ago. Millions for defense, but not a
cent for tribute" has rung down the ages ana will con-
tinue to ring. 1t has rung quite vigorously in connection
with the payment Of money for the ransom Of the two
army officers seized by Mexican bandits and held for
ransom. and attention has been called afresh to the fact
that in the good old heroic days when the Barbary
pirates demanded tribute from the Americans as the
price of permission to sail the high seas that tribute
was indignantly denied, and the pirates themselves were
visited by American men OF war and compelled to ahan-
DOR their career Of freebooting.
1t may be suggested that the cases are not at ali
parallel. The Barbary pirates demanded what amounted
to a license fee. They required that money should be
paid for Immunity from attack upon persons and vessels
subsequently passing through the waters where they
operated. No one was Immediately menaced Or endan-
sered. The conditions under which the ransom money
was paid to the Mexican outlaws were entirely different.
The American officers had already been captured. They
were already within the power Of their captors. They
could be put to death at any moment. The threat Of
death had been made, and there Is every reaeon to believe
that II the money had not been paid it would have been
carrid out. There was no question Of the payment Of
money for future immunity. no question Of the granting
of a license to travel in the particular place free from
molestation. The question which the American author
tiles had to decide, and to decide on the instant, was
not as to the rishtfulness of the demand. for that was
admittedly uhrlgnteous, out whether IN resisting that
demand they would permit the. lives Of two young men
to be sacrificed, or would first save those lives and then
take such steps as might be possible to exterminate the
bandits and make a repetition Of the offense impossible.
We might have taken the lofty and dignified ground that
no money should be paid to any one for the protection
CT an American right, but that we would maintain such
right by force. That could have been done. but it would
not have been a pleasant thought afterward that as a
result Of this course two lives which might have been
saved were sacrificed. No decent person would enjoy
the spectacle of ransom money being paid. but 1t Is a
matter which affords some degree Of satisfaction that
at least a few of the bandits have been permanently put
out OF business, and We may hope that the work will,
not be discontinued until we have more results Of the
same kind.

PEDDLING OUT INSTITUTIONS

Inc Fargo courier News In commenting on a recent
article in The Herald reiterates the contentious which it
had formerly made in substance to the effect that the
amount of stock subscribed in a given community to
one OF the states industrial enterprises should be an
important consideration in locating such institution. It
asks particularly If a mill or elevator would be constd-
cred good for Grand Forks.
1t might be answered in a general way that ,nv
establishment employing a large number of men and
handling a large quantity Of material would be of i'm
mediate benefit to any community. Even from this stand
point there might be some question as to the ultimate
benefits. II an institution grows and prospers it will be
OF commercial benefit to the people in ia immediate
neighborhood. If 1t does not, the benefit will ho hut
transitory and is likely to be more than offset bv its
final suspension. There are very few cities Of any size
in which ambitious manufacturing establishments have
not been started, to be abandoned lates because tina ioca,
conditions were not such as to make their profitable
operation possible.
