MAYOR HANSON.


 Perhaps there is man in the United states at .h, time save President Wilson, much in the public eye as Ole Hanson, Mayor of Seattle. He is referred to as the of the hour, and papers rom the Pacific to the Atlantic are singing his praises,
 Ole Hanson has been resident or o@atot9 i'i many years. where he has accumulated modest for tune in the real estate business, business to wnich bis son was admitted to partnership not long ago He is a brilliant platform speaker and possesses q charming personality. He is natural born mixer and his handsome easily breaks into friendly and humorous smile. He possesses Keen sense oi humor and uncanny knowledge or human ha ture His sympathies broad and understanding
 But beneath the sunny good nature and quick emo lions Ole Hanson has a mind that forms strong con victions and heart with courage to ueleho them against any sort of field
 Ole Hanson's first appearance in politics was as an advocate of the suppression of horse racing Wlt it's demorazing gambling. On that issue he was elected to the Washington Legislature, and was the author of bill that put horse racing out of bus- mess in the State of Washington, In the Legislature he stood hard and fast for everything that came up in interest of humanism. He was elected to the Legislature a Republican. He supported Roose- welt against Taft in 1912. In 1914 he was Pro gressfve candidate for Senator, and 5000 votes behind sBack, Democrat, and 45,000 behind Jones, Republican.
 He became strongly impressed with the admins tration President Wilson, and in 1916 he supported the President for reelection, stumping all the North western States, in his interest To him is given credit more than any other influence for the closeness of the vote Minnesota and for winning North Dakota for Wilson.
 It is understood that President Wilson offered MT Hanson position on the Trade Commission when Will H. Parry died, but the real estate man and ora did like the idea of leaving Seattle and he was being urged to for Mayor of that city, so he declined the appointment He was elected Mayor of Seattle a year ago by a substantial majority.

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY LIES

NJ tourists ana hunters who have wandered much IN
rsnhe Alps have told numerous stories of how a single
sudden sound mere word or the report of a rifle-can
tEeause the release of a glacier SO that it rushes down from
,,Jrfhe high peaks to the valleys killing and destroying every
..oohody and everything in it's way.
TX And we have been told until now that the report
ssgiof a single revolver causing the death of the Austro-aun-
@sagarian crown prince at serajevo resulted in the outbreak
the world war. An English writer, Charles w. c.
Conan, evidently wants to have that view changed, for in
TIA book published in London he maintains that the ac-
accepted. version of the start Of the war is not reliable.
This claim does not possess any element of novelty
those who have some insight in European affairs. The
Insignificant disturbance to make it thunder down the
~ssnnountains. Whether that disturbance was premeditated
-or accidental, is OF no account in this connection. The
Nmain fact to keep in mind was that the war was inevitable
Mn the light of the International developments during the
thirst years of the present century.
The general condition Of Europe in the summer OF
ah1s14 was one of high strung nerves and tension-and the
IlAgadir, incident, so nicely handled at Conversations in
HHParis and Berlin. had shown not long before how little
lit required to plunge the nerve burdened Europe into a
Estate Of actual delirium.
= The other main fact to be remembered is the avidiry
Bwith which Austria grasped the serajevo incident and
made it the premise for what is probably the most amaz-
q ingly audacious state document in all history-rthe uti-
j matuna to Serbia. Even nov it is impossible to read
Ii tnrousn omclal text OF tnat note without feeling an
Il intense anger-time certainly has not mellowed it, nor
2softened its strident tones. \
The secondary fact to be considered in fixing the re-
Il Responsibility of the outbreak of the war at Just that time
lis that of German influence. But no matter what may
be pleaded as extenuatns circumstances in efforts to ex-
lcuse Austria-no matter how necessary it may have
seemed for Vienna to take its cue from Berlin-the out
standing fact remains that Austria was too weak to resist
SHohenzollern orders, too much Of a coward to assert her
fown moral independence, and, in addition, too .brazenly
!. covetous. All this does not in any manner relieve Ger
q many OF any responsibility-nor does it mitigate the
spriginal crime Of A~ustria-Hungary as it is testified to in
sthe ultimatum to Serbia.
There will. of course, be endless discussions Of the
origin Of the. war. but, in all truth. they must consider
81 the serajevo assassination merely an accident, and the
I~conbined Austro-German action a design that would
thayes been carried out no matter what form the pretext
ntght take.

HELIUM PLANT
BEING ERECTED
AT FORT WORTH
Is Only One of it's Kind in
World and Removes all
Danger from Ballooning

Fort Worth, Tex, Feb. 14.-The'
only helium plant in the world is be-
ing erected in North Fort Worth by
the United States navy department
at a cost of 100000. The plants
product is expected to remove the
last danger element from %ballooning.
Experts declare that production Of
helium in quantities will soon make
it possible for big passenger and
freight airships to travel everywhere,
n that the airship as a war weapon
will surpass even the fleet airplane.
Helium. the material Count Yep
pelin needed to make his big air
planes a success. removes the dan
ger of fire from the gas filling in the
balloon. American scientists, urged
on by the English government, are
responsible for the discovery and de-
velopment of helium. The natural
a of certain wells at Petrolia, in
Clay county, is the pest ever found.
the extraction Of the helium. The
products of the wells will be-piped
to Fort Worth, prepared for the bal
looms and distributed wherever the
navy needs it. The government is
now building the pipe line at a cost
Of $4,000, 900.
Helium is said to have approx
mately 90 per cent Of the lifting DOW
err of hydrogen and is non-inflam-
able. An airship inflated with he'll
lum can not be brought down in
flames and car maintain speed of an
airplane. Heretofore, the a filled
balloon was at the mercy of the
quicker airplane which could set the
balloon blazing with bullets.
When America entered the world
war. the British government referred
to the United States bureau of mines
the problem Of the industrial pro
auction of helium. Such a substitute
!or hydrogen was known to exist, but
Its cost was deemed prohibitive.
fuhds for experimental work were
given to the bureau of mines by, the
JOINT army and navy board of rigid
alrsh1ps. The experiment plant was
erected at a s Of $3.50, 900. Work
progressed quickly and quietly. About
the time the armistice was signed, it
was decided industrial ,helium had

treaties secrecy was exercised by

experiment here. Soldiers were kept
on guard duty day and night; a high

allowed to approach. Newspapers
were cautioned by government Off

A GOOD PROPOSAL

Although 1t has been the custom among manv med
teal men to contend that a little knowledge is worse than
ignorance as far as the laymans relation to medicine is
concerned. a change in this view is apparent during the
last few years, and it is evidently in close harmony with
that altered opinion that the Grand Forks District Med
ical society now is considering the problem of establish
ing a medical library here, accessible not only to men of
the profession itself, but also to that part o, the nuh1ic
which is interested.
The leaders Of medicine do not speak Of their work
as that OF science in the strictest sense. They realize that
1t Is yet too replete with unanswered questions, with
misty uncertainties. to deserve the appeuation Of science.
and that the knowledge Of natures laws as we'll as of the
specific subjects of physiology and biology is vet younp
and comparatively undeveloped that it can be said to be-
70 a certain extent. at least-in the experimental stage.
Medical work is. however, predicated upon the conc1u-
sions found by scientists and understood in all their de-
tails only by those who. like all physicians, have been
trained to think and study slowly, patiently and care.
fully.
The results of laboratory work do not GENERALLY he.
come known outside the profession, except in isolated
cases and in actual practice. but it seems evident that the
public might derive much benefit from becoming ac-
quainted with Che present stage Of medicine provided such
information were given in we'll edited and thorough ex-
plantations There has been-and quite naturally
dearth Of popular medical works, ana most Of those that
have appeared have been misleading or calculated only
to enrich the pockets Of their authors and publishers.
But 1t 10 conceivable that a collection Of the best pop
ular literature upon the subject Of personal hygiene would
fill a want here; that should be. Of course, only one phase
OF the activity of a collection like the one proposed. The
main purpose would still be to make standard works and
periodicals of medicine easily accessible to practicinx
physicians so that they at all times could have within
arms reach practically all Of that literature which can
not easily be INCORPORATED in the private collections. OF in
dividual physicians.
