"The law prohibited any one from
willfully interfering with these plans

Conspiracy is seldom proved by di-

sufficient This is the essence Of a

SOME THREAT

1t would seem that every league paper works
the theory that it threaten or frighten more
successfully than it can reason it's readers into its
own beliefs. Following out it's theory the Courier
News says:
IF our American junkers continue to fight the
Nonpartisan league in every unfair manner, and
continue to poch-pooh the chances Of revolution,
they might do well to remember that they are no.
where near as we'll fortified against revolution as
were the German junkers in 1914-who are now
ferventy praying that the German revolution
won't get beyond the control of the once hated
socialists
The Courier-News in its closing paragraph
says: "The Courier-News is not making threats. y
No, of course not; it would never dream of doing
such thing. Nobody reading the above would
construe it as threat. And yet that paper says
1T may be that red revolution will be necces-
sary in America. ."-Garrison Advance.

NEW WARS AND NEW MAPS

? % for the peace Of war!' said professional
military man to an American correspondent at
Paris. He doesn't like the business of fixing up
peace.
And of course, the fact is that nobody ever
had any fun making the map of the world over.
Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal, Napoleon-di didn't
they all take hand at il? And didn't they all 90
flooey with Nemesis chasing them with big
broom?
Is there any harder job III the world than try
ing to nail down and fasten stiff national boun-
daries that insist on being fluid and changing as
the drifts Of population and the drives Of economic
development?
It is this very thing that is taken care of in
the big outlines of the league of nations plan 1t
is indefinite ct many points because no man or
group Of men can by any possibility fix the lines
Of the future developments Of the nations small
and large.
In former peace meets, they drew the map
they wanted and signed up the peace treaties and
went home to talk about the new map just a.
though the new map was for keeps and al time
S,,ch maps have always had to be drawn all over

ANOTHER NICE MORSEL

To those editors who claim the new printing
law will ruin them we offer suggestion: If you
want North Dakota to keep you on the payroll,
quit sandering her it's a queer sort of gnk who
expects reward for calling his mother foul
names.-Forbes Sentinel.
There is another nice morse Where has this
imported editor been all these years that the North
Dakota publishers have been boosting for their
state. No class of people have done more for the
upbuilding of our state than the country pub
Usher, who has had hard enough shedding inJnak-
ing things go without trying to legislate him out
of business. North Dakota publishers do not SIAN
der the state. 1t is the socastic outfit that is in
control Of legislature and of our state offices
that has done more to impair the credit and high
standing of North Dakota and hurt her good name
than any other factor. North Dakota has not been
keeping its publishers on the payroll. The pub
fishers have been printing legals at rate estab-
lished by law something every state in the Union
has and these publications will be less under
the monopolistic rule of the Brinton Kept Press.
The rate is the same, but one publisher will get
all-something absolutely unfair, undemocratic-
and intended to throttle competition -Kenmare

QUO VADIS?

A preate Of wide experience in Russia, on his
return to this country, stated that the prerevolu
tion faith reverence and worship among the peas.
ant class for the czar surpassed anything ever
before seen on earth.
This churchman expressed the belief that these
peoples would in time, rebuild their faith and rev.
erence; with the ruler of the universe for the OBJ
ject Of their alteration. b"
1t may happen so, but present indications in
Russia are that disbelief chaos, Indifference to
either faith or works, have replaced the old de-
vout humility. ....
Our guess is that the Russian people will go to
the other extreme and deride all creeds, and prob
ably wind up as goddess as they today are awless.
And then in the Infinite's good time, this peo.
pile will emerge washed in blood and tears, and
purged through national misfortune, and, in hu
mility, will rebuild it's faith and go ahead.
Men and nations and races veer from extreme
Worshipfulness to anarchy H. W..
Times of reformation, of revolt against church
dominion, are usually marked by utter license. IA
Nations go on drunk as thoroughly as tired
business man, and faith, to date, and good deeds
have not become so innate in the human animal
that he keeps being pous, regardless of whether
he has belief left in his old idols CT no.
1t is more pleasing to believe that all men are
naturally good, rather than that by generations
of endeavor they achieved decency; but the evi-
dence appears to be that humanity loves the muck,
and has to get mud bath about every so often to
have the need of salvation impressed on it.
Without personal experience Of the javelins Of
evil conduct the saints armor seems to be wearing
a needlessly heavy burden.

MANS EYE CHANGING

An oculist says the eye Of most persons is url-
dergoing change to shorter range of vision.
This is by reason of the growth of city popula-
tion over that of the rural districts-the city
dweller having become more accustomed to fixing
his eye upon near objects, with consequently a
waning power to see distances.
City people, in the nature Of their occupations,
are required to focus only upon objects at less
than arms length Yet most of these had grand
fathers who lived in the open and habitually gazed
out over the hills and fields at distant objects.
+ This oculist has many figures and observations
to prove that we are becoming shorter visioned
race.
Among these is the proof by exception-that
those who have remained rural inhabitants and
those with occupations in the open like sailors
and mountain guides, still retain their power to see
distances. ~ "T-
