THE NEW ALLIES

The truth is that the stage so recently cleared
Of war has now become occupied by political
struggle the most momentous in history. It is a
political struggle not between nations, but between
parties whose constituency transcends all national
boundaries. The progressive wings Of the Amer
ican parties, British labor and liberals, French and
Italian and Belgian liberals and socialists are for
the purposes Of the peace conference one party.
The Lodges and Miners and Carsons and Clemen-
ceaus and Sonninos and their following of imper-
ialsts and militarists and protectionists consti-
tute the opposing party. Chance has decreed that
the liberal party shall dominate the delegation of
one country, while the reactionary party domin-
ates that of another country. Thus it may hap
pen that the votes of the French delegation fall
on one side, that of the American delegation on
the other. But that does not justify US in saying
that the French view" opposes the American
view."-The New Republic. .-s.a -. s...., i

FEEDING THE HUNGRY

Famine and disease follows hard on the heels
of war; As an aftermath of the great struggle
which has wrung and desolated Europe, two hum
dred million people face starvation this winter in
central Europe, the Balkans, Russia and the devas
tated districts of France and Belgium. 1t means
the death of countless thousands Of innocent wom-
en- and children, fate which all the dictates of
humanity declare must be prevented if possible
Again it is task gigantic in proportions, which
is up to the United States. We must feed the
hungry even if we ourselves go short rations
for the winter. They are looking to US for succol
and we cannot turn deaf ear to their appeals
Food literally by the thousands Of tons must be
shipped across the sea and in order to do this W.
must conserve and sacrifice.
Much depends upon the speed and the fulfness
with which we perform this duty. Hunger is tht
twin brother Of anarchy. Starvation and famine
stir the elementary beast in mankind. Lack o.
food shakes the foundation pillars Of society q
nothing else can for it reduces men to mer'
animal struggle for existence. Hunger bred tn
terrorism of the French revolution. The deadl,
pinch of famine is responsible for much Of tn
excesses of the Bolsheviki, whose madness ma,

AN INCOMPATIBLE NAVY

What the president is saying in Europe may
be better understood, perhaps, when we grasp the
meaning Of what Secretary of the Navy Daniels
has been saying to the committee on naval affairs
of the house Of representatives. 4a r@sa.ao p
In the program which Mr.. Daniels has laid
down there is no hint Of Utopianisn. In spite
of everything said and done in Europe in these
days of happy international amenities, his aim
plainly stated, is an Incompatible American navy
The appropriations that he asks for are in line
with others suggested when the end of the wal
was thought to be long way off. He boldly an.
nounces purpose to provide for the United States
a navy second to none. .-.
Some of us may see in this challenge to Great
Britain, but in reality it is only measure of de-
fense for the United States. What the outcome
of the congress of Versailles may be no one is now
wise enough to predict. If by any means the con
ference is controlled by imperialsts and political
reactionaries, the American theory Of world peace
and stability will be lost irrevocably. In that
event we must rely for our own safety upon
navy, and it must be navy that no nation anc

vict and imprison the accused for two
years; and that such jurisdiction is IN
herent in the courts of this state.
Hence the conclusion was that the
statute served no purpose, only to give
to the judges nerve and backbone and
to induce them to impose an Outrag-
cous penalty. But the reasoning is
false iii fact and false in law, and, i'll
deed. it was a gross reprOach to the
court. At common law the courts
never exercised any such jurisdiction.
There is no case to be found where the
judges tried any man in summary
manner and convicted him of felony.
In contempt cases the courts of this
state have never had any common law
jurisdiction. The arbitrary power that
judges once exercised as. a part of the
royal perOgatives was never imported
to- the Dakotas 1t was not in keeping
with the Western spirit Of freedom.
equality and independence. The facts
in this case admit Of no dispute, no
evasion or equivocation, and the same
is true of the law. Under the consti-
tion as tits, no person may be convict.
ed of any crime and sent to the peni-
tentiary without trial by jury. No
person may be compelled to besa wit
ness against himself. nor tried for a
crime. except on an indictment or in
formations: Hence. in this Scase the
trial and conviction and sentence were
in direct conflict with the Fundamental
law. No judge or lawyer can honestly
attempt to maintain that under our
constitution person may be convicted
Of crime and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary, for two years without a trial by
jury. No one can maintain that the
guarantees of the constitution may be
changed or evaded by any name that

bates. Next week we purpose to coun-
sci together and to hand down num-
Der of decisions. think it a fairly
good idea during the first two weeks
Of each month to hear debates on thir.
ty or more cases and during the bal
ance of the month to decide each and
every one Of them.
This week Judge Crawford sat with
us in conference on motion to re-
consider the old Finlayson case" The
motion was denied, and submit the
gist of my dissent. The judges CON
cluded to follow an old political de-
cision in the Markuson case. 5 n. ID.
On a charge of keeping a place for the
sale Of liquor. contrary to the order of
the Court, Markuson was tried in a
summary manner. denied the .constitu-
tional right Of trial by jury and sen
fenced to the pen for two years. The
judges knew on which side their. bread
was buttered: they did not want to
lose their Office and SO they made what
may be called rotten political Idecis-
ion. But 1t. was ever thus. sthe judges
are men, and. Of course. they are sub
ject to the same motives and passions
which influence, other men. Some
judges and some politicians are 50 fond
Of holding office they do not care to
shorten their political life by any. de-
cison or BY any expression of opinion.
That has been true Of the judges in

Of contempt and sentenced to be i'm

g.. It makes an accusation presump-

3. 1t denies the right Of trial by

The U. S. Supreme Court has justly

Of the legislature to declare q person

clares that an accusation shall be pre-

KEEP THEM UP

This was the first war in WHICH the fighters
were trained to play. The hostess houses, neigh
borhood entertainments and boxing matches OF
the cantonments were the beginnings of carefully
systematzed amusements that accompanied the
fighting forces from enrolment to rehabilitation
Photographs and baseball bats, boxing gloves
and movies were recognized part of the essen
tal military equipment. (, = .eAnl~rF
Recreation was planned like drill transport and
rationng We tried to find the best way Of doing
all these things. Famous pugilists, wrestlers,
baseball stars and physical trainers were hired
to accompany the army and navy.
Volunteer organizations, endorsed and spon-
sored by the government, raised hundreds of mill
ions of dollars to provide healthful, helpful recre-
alton. 1t was no small army of professional organ
izers of amusement that accompanied the armed
host from cantonment to fighting front and back
to hospitals, rest camps convalescent stations and
rehabilitation quarters.
Playing and fighting were intermingled and both
were the better done: A Surrey regiment actually
drbbled football across No Mans Land and into
the German trenches during an advance, and
American soldiers tell of baseball scores spoiled
by shells that blew away the bases. .ias 5.
