DECISION
IN HON ESpRAD rAs

Timberlake, S. d., Feb l6.-The
Timberlake land office has decided in
favor of Joseph j. Hoven, home
steader, ina contest which affect hun
dreds of homesteaders west of the river.
Walter Fins, of Dupree, brought the ac-
ton against Hoven, charging that resi-
dence on contiguous additional home,
stead is required if the entry man resided
on the original homesteads for three
years and still occupies the same by
tenant or agent. The land office decid-
ed in the negative on this point and
that the 20 acres cultivation required
during the succeeding years until proof
is made at any time within two years OF
the date of entry.

MIR. MUNSEY'S MERGER.

The World cannot agree with MIR.
Munsey's sweeping condemnation OF the
New York Herald, recently purchased
by him, upon which he bases his conclu-
sion that the only way to save tho prop
erty is to consolidate it the with Sun.
We have the new owners word for
these assertions: 'In later years the
Herald has lacked manly vigor;" lit has
given place in tho race for supremacy"
''its printing point is archaic and worn
to the breaking plant" 'it has no home,
or will have no home in another fifteen
months" by amalgamation with another
newspaper ''it will have tho advantage
of the Suns fino organization"
Notwithstanding this unfavorablo view
of his latest acquisition, Mr.. Munsey
must know that the Herald to-day is IN no
such state of decrepitudo as was she World
when it came into possession OF tho late
Joseph Pulitzer, iu,lSS3. What high pur-
pose and commanding ability did for tho
World is a matter of record. There rs
reason to believe that on the much moro
promising foundation of the Herald a
success perhaps as notable might by wise
management have been gained.
The merger of the Sun and the Herald
may, as MIR. Munsey says. result IN "one
very great newspaper. We wish him well
in his undertaking, but the product will
not be either the Sun or the Herald. In
their time both of these newspapers
were institutional Whatever their de-
cline may have been from the standards
of Dana and the Bennetts, complete
restoration under proper direction was
always possible. What Mr.. Munsey has
done for the Sun he or somebody else
might have done for the Herald
New York journalism is to be en-
phatically the poorer by the loss Of two
such historic entities. In the case OF the
Herald, it's elimination is a tragedy.
The excellence of the surviving publica-
tion, no matter how pronounced, viii
hardly be a compensation for the re-
moval of landmarks that ought to have
endured =NeN York World.

Where Congress Might Help.

The situation in respect of the supply
of news print paper is becoming more
strained. Visible stocks are very short,
transportation is hampered, and many
daily newspapers are compelled to resort
TO 'hand to mouth" measures IN order to
maintain their regular issues
The situation Is receiving attention
IN Congress, and Democratic members
Of the House ways and means committee
have suggested the abolition of the tariff
on news print paper from Canada, as
one plan of relief. But the Republican
members naturally do not take kindly
to this suggestion.
1t was pointed out that while publishers
are securing all markets for supplies,
the Federal government has used AS tons
OF paper in a short time for printing
speeches made In the Senate.
Here is way to relief through economy.
Shut off this great leak. Nine-tenths Of
the paper thus used is absolutely wasted.

A WELCOME FLAG.

The people Of the United States,
with their immense coast lines and posi-
tion on the two greatest oceans, ought TO
be second to none in the carrying trade on
the oceans. They have, moreover, un-
surpassed resources for building ships
and possess ali forms OF mechanical skill
required in shipyards. Yet in recent
wears we had fallen so far behind In the
transportation of ocean freights that
our share in the business was small ln
deed. We paid hundreds of millions every
year to foreign ship owners TO bring IN
merchandise and handle the great vol
ume of products We exported.
The situation is changing We are TAX
ing our normal place in ocean commerce,
both in building ships and sending them
forth TO the ports of all continents The
instinct of Americans for ocean navigating
is strong. The great rivers of the dis
tant interior point the way. Youth IN the
Western cornfields are among the quickest
and best to respond to the calls OF the
Navy. We have the elements TO be ma
ton OF sailors along with other qualifica-
tlons.
Our flag will be cordially greeted every
where on salt water by all peoples who
have an intelligent idea of what 1T rep
resents.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The extent 10 which mental aftitrels.

in the case of French soldier who re-

PRESS COMMENT.
THE COOLIDGE TYPE.

In the open statement which explains
that he is not and will not be playing my
kind OF politics to obtain the presidential
nomination and that he will not even make
an effort to have the Massachusetts, dele
CATION to the Chicago convention in
structed for him, Governor Coolidge ex-
presses some views as to his obligation to
perform faithfully and without any side
stepping the duties pertinent to the high
station Of governor Of Massachusetts,
which constitute fundamental principle
in public service that cannot be too en-
phatically indorsed.
He says that his duty, "clear, plain,
uncquivocal, is to the people Of Massa-
chussctts." lie makes il plain that he
will not be tempted to usc, the high Office
to which he has been elected as either .
stepping stone or lift lever TO the purpose
for reaching a more dAxxling place the
position of president of the United States.
He is hearing no call which, to his mind,
would justify him in ignoring the duties
which confront him, even to slight ex-
tent, to seek another and higher service.
His desire is ''to walk humbly and to dis
charge my obligations
The State of Massachusetts is to he
congratulated 1t has governor who has
the right iden about publicservice obli-
CATION. A man chosen to the performance
of high service should perform the
service. lie should not rush off to some
visioned duty TO which he has not been
called-to which in cgotistic self-valua-
tion he may have called himself. Gov
ernor Coolidge is comparatively young
man. He is wise in waiting the higher
call-wise in not seeking it, This is
time when strong men, men OF moral
courage and high sense of duty, are need
ed as State governors.-BaHimoro Amcri-

THE PROTECTION FLAG.


It's tho laughter Of the childnnn that Old
Glory guarantees,
It's the safety of olr women On che land
and on tho the seas;
It's the little homes we're building and tho
peace that evening brings
That the Flag above is shielding, and .
thousand other things.
Oh, don't you catch the vision that is shin
ing through its folds2
Can't you see the glorious future thst Our
Starry Banner holds2
Don't you see the glad tomorrows for this
nation of the free
And the happy men and wofhcn that your
children are TO be?
You shall never know contentment save
that Flag Is over head,
II you turn from il and scorn It you shall
dine on bitter bread,
It's your promise to your children that
when you are dead and gone
They shall have a wise protector and in
safety journey on.
Guard the Flag that flies above you, true
to God and true to man,
Stand forever at it's service, deaf to every
cruel clanl
For there Is no dream you cherish, and no
deed you hope to do,
But Old Glory in its beauty guarantees
to yours and you.

Compulsory Military Training.

ofThc action Of the military committee
the United States Senate. bv vote Of
tine to five, in approving provisions IN
he Army Reorganization bill requiring
compulsory military training Of young
men between IS and 2l years Of age,
while not conclusive OF itself, means
that this gravcly important subject will
come up for serious consideration in the
Congress. At last the country vii be
called upon to decide whether or not it shall
include in its guarantees of peace"
the compulsory training of all its young
men in the practices of war.
Compulsory military training has long
been proposed and advocated in this
country, but never formally entered upon.
We have had compulsory military service
through the draft upon two notable oc-
casions-during the Civil War and in the
preparations for conducting our war
against Germany and Austria-Hungary.
Each, however, was only temporary
measure, designed to meet the exigencles
of the occasion. Now we are to consider
the adoption Of plan to compel our
youth to qualify themselves as fighting
soldiers.
Apparently, the day for the coming of
the millennium is far in the future.
After two thousand years of Christianity
and at least half that period of what may
be termed progressive civilization we
have just emerged from the most brutal,
the most fiendish, the most murderous
and the most destructive war the world
ever saw. In fact. our country is still
engaged in it, our Senate not having rati-
fed the Treaty of Peace. Christianity
and civilization have not yet sufficiently
upon the members of that body
the alleged beauties of peace.
And SO we are to continue directing
our thoughts to war, and our agencies OF
government to providing for that con-
tingency. Preparedness for war is still
urged as the best defense against war.
Yet the nation that was most powerful
in respect of military strength, that was
to the limit, ruthlessly plunged
almost the entire world into the vortex
Of terrible war, and emerged beaten and
broken. Does not this prove that pre-
,ardedness is an uncertain dependenceY

The action was 10 recover certain de-

difficulties surrounding the issues of fact,
counsel agreed to shift the whole burden to
the court. Judges Heisel and Conrad were

FRIENDS IN NEED.

Resident birds experience little or
no inconvenience from cold or from the
wintry storms. Their feather garments are
sufficient protection to enable them to en-
dure the bitterest weather. But when the
ground remains deeply covered with snow
for any considerable period there is suffer
ing and death among the birds.
Many of the winter birds gather their
food from the ground. Weed seed is a
staple of some species. Deep snow like
that which now covers all the fields brings
birds of certain species face to face with
starvation The bug eaters are more FORUM
ate, for their hunting grounds IN the
trees are almost always open. The bob
white is bird that suffers severely In such
a season. Ii becomes so desperate in its
search for food that it loses its timldity
and frequently invades barnyards to
investigate every possibility.
The snow which now deeply covers
the ground seems destined to remain for a
long time. If it does not succumb TO sud-
den and unexpected thaw it win cause the
death of thousands of birds. Human friends
Of the birds cannot prevent this loss OF
life, but they may somewhat decrease
