n CROW'S-NEST


We often hear the remark that
more people would move to BrookinGs
on account of its educational and 9th
er advantages if it were possible for
some of the members OF the family to
find something to do to occupy their
time and add a little to their income.
1t is true that we have very little TO
offer in the way Of manufacturing in
t~erests, and employment in such lines,
and may not have such industries for
years to come but there are other en-
terprises that might be undertaken
that require very little capital or ma
chinery, which would furnish pleas
ant employment and reasonable profit.
Broomcorn can be raised in this elm
ate and since the price per ton of the
brush has been ranging from $500 to
$400 for the best grades in the last
few years "a few acres of such a crop
ought 20 prove quite profitable. 1t is
mostly a hand labor proposition and
if several four or five acre plots were

kaffir corn and requires considerable
attention but the labor is not partic-
ulaily hard or exacting. This is not
an experiment for broomcorn has been
successfully raised here. Instead Of
everybody raising potatoes or beans
on vacant lots to compete with larger
growers why not try other vegetables
that have to be shipped in to supply
the local markets. Mixed market gar
dening is the need of the times. Peo-
pie in town looking for something TO
do should aim to produce novelties,
or at least articles which are not COM
monty understood by many and for
which good prices are paid. A few
gardeners make a large profit from
satisfy, sometimes called vegetable
oyster. There is always a demand for
lettuce and parsley and the several
vegetables used for greens. Sweet
potatoes can, with proper care, be
raised as far north as this. There is
always a good sale for celery and for
cucumbers made up into dill pickles.
1t is not so difficult to find something
to do, if attention is properly given
to such things as afford an outlet to
ones well-directed activities.

Tie CRIME Or WAR

Sioux City J~ournal-It is not likely
the peace council will include the
trial and punishment of the late Ger
man emperor and other German war
officials in its conclusions. The coun-
Gil is rushing to get a peace agree
ment that will satisfy the urgent de-
mands OF civilization. The punish
ment of the man responsible for the
war is of less concern to the mem
bers than getting the ~smouldering
confiagration in Europe completely
smothered before it bursts into a
seething cauldron of disacter. While
immediate peace Is essential, it would
be better for the future security of
civilization if men responsible for
world disasters like the late wal were
tried and punished, even executed,
when their crimes are as fragrant a
those of the deposed emperor.
IL this wal has established any spe-
cific principle of justice it is that one
man shall not have authority over the
lives and properties of millions. That
is what lies at the foundation of the
curse the entente nations fought to
exterminate. 1t is called autocracy,
but the principle is one mar power
and authority. The destruction of the
autocratic governments of Germany,
Austria Hungary, and Turkey has not
changed the autocratic hearts of men.
Lenine, posing as one of the poletariat,
Is the greatest autocrat of the cen
fury. The struggle of the down and
out factions in the soviet infested
countries are only the efforts of in
dividuals TO raise themselves to the
positions of autocrats. Their selfish
ness, SO soon as they reach power,
proves this. Therefore. il autocracy
is to be destroyed in the ambitions
of men some method to make them
fear the consequences of their auto
cratic courses is essential.
If the late emperor escapes trial
and punishment others with the same
lust for power that caused him to
take the step he did will repeat the
effort in the belief that while n en-
peror failed, they will be able to sue
coed. But If drastic punishment were
inflicted upon the autocratic criminal
responsible for the war. others would
hesitate to do the same thing lest TX
punishment come to them. what 90
autocrats care for the infection or
death in the struggle to attain their
purposes so long as other men are
the victims? How long would the
war have lasted had the German SOL
diers by physical force compelled tne
emperor and his sons to shoulder guns
and take their places In the fron'
trenches and to follow the barrage IN
the charge upon the enemy positions!
Peace would have come within a day.
If Germany had been compelled 20

tered were not the emperor and his
sons, what did he care? If he were
swung from a public scaffold others
would debate longer than the time re-
quired by the league of nations before
they took the chance of being swung
from a similar scaffold. The punish.
ment of the deposed emperor would
be the longest step toward permanent
peace the allied nations could take.

had ever seen. Yes, thank God, it is
victory and peace which we are now
asked to finance, instead of war. You
may ask why, with the victory won,
an additional loan is necessary, but
if you will stop to think for one min
ute, you must realie that it was won,
not by the armies, ships, guns, NUM-
tons, and aeroplanes which we had
in France, but by those which we had
in preparation and ready for embark
alton, in a constantly increasing
stream, until our ends should have
been accomplished. 1t was the certain
knowledge that the vast of
this country, to our last dollar, and
to our last drop of blood, had been
pledged to victory, which made the
Hun first bluff, then fear, and finally,
crumble into absolute collapse. 1t is
this pledge so willingly given, that
the people of this country are now
asked to carry out by subscribing to
tho Victory Loan. Every American
can and must do something, 10 mat
ter how hard the previous burden has
been.
Every man in the American expedi-
tionary force today wants TO come
home, but not one wanted to come
until the Hun had been completely
whipped, no matter what hardships
they had to endure, and we who
stayed at home cannot quit until the
pills have been paid, the contracts
