AN ovERWoRKEp DocTR1NE.

The familiar statement about the consent of the
governed, which was translated by President Wilson
into the term "self=determinatien, has been made to
DO service IN many a bad cause, The doctrine, no
matter in what language stated, is sound. but, like all
other doctrines, it must be applied intelligently and
reasonably. If we are to conclude that the principle
that governments derive their just powers iron, the
consent of the governed is to be understood literally
and absolutely, w are at the end of government, for
never yet was there a government to which groups
Or individuals did not object.
Over in central Europe an efort<is being made
to determine the status Of Upper silesia. Are the
people OF Sllesla to say whether their territory shall
be German or Polish z They have been invited to en-
press their preference, and have done SO, but they
are not the only people who have rights to be con-
sldered., The decision made, whatever It Is, will have
an important influence on the future Of boil, Ger
many and Poland, and outside of these two countries
It will have no incensiderable influence on the vel
fare OF Several other nations. "Consent of the gov
efiaed' in this case involves consent of many people
other than the Silesians, and they are all among the
and all have rights which must be taken
into account.
It ever there was a case in which a great popula-
ton desired to pass from under the sway of the gey-
eminent which had held Jurisdiction oyer it, and to
provide a new government of their own creation.
that case was presented In our own southern states
sixty years ago. But there were to be considered the
rights and interests, not alone of the southern states.
but OF the entire nation, and the nation was cenvipc-
ed that the proposed separation would be ~inirnical to
Its interests and q menace to it's safety. Hence the
separation was resisted by force, and was prevented:
There is no real trouble with the theory of the
consent OF the governed, The trouble is with those
who ishofe the facts OF human society in applying It.

BAD ROADS.

Speaking generally it may be said that in this
of the country the condition of the country
roads is largely a matter Of weather and luck. We
have miles upon miles of roads, graded and telersbly
well shaped, which are magnificent driveways In
Fine weather if they happen net to be travelled on
when It is wet. # a vehicle passes while the sur
face is soft from rain, that settles it. The fut thus
aformed collects water as long as water falls, and
every rig following makes the yrut deeper, When
the sun shines and the wind blows the road dries,
and it remains rough until passing rigs roll 1t down
into some senbance of smoothness. Just why so
until the road surface resembles a collection Of
brick bats Is one of the mysteries, as dragging while
the road is still moderately soft would be very much
easier as well as infinitely more effective.
Just now there is special need for good reads,
as farm products are being moved whenever the
work is possible. But there are scores of miles of
main travelled highway within q few miles Of Grand
Forks which were net touched after the rains Of last
week, although there had been two or three days
when they were in ideal condition for the drag.
Mondays rain followed, and the shalleW ruts have
become veritable bitches, filled with water. The
new Mallory road, ct course, is hopeless. The cen
ter OF that road has never been used except in mud
Kdy times when the middle was the only moderately
safe place. AT other times the center of that road
has either been too rough for travel or, as at pres
sent, an impossible merass.
We need great trunk highways, paved and pol
ssished. but the very first essential in the road busi-
mess is intelligent care of the roads which we have,
ssor which we can build at a very moderate expense,
Our roads are not getting that care. We are not
doing as well as We can. If the trouble is with the
let's have a difference system. If the trou-
other individuals in charge. We can't afford just
sssnow to have the best roads in the world, but we are
enough money to have better roads than
I'VE are getting.

WE HAVE A UNITY COUNCIL.

Former Governor Dunno, Of Illinois, has accept
"a the presidency Of . Unity Council which he and
hose associated with him believe to be the correct
answer to the highly unnecessary and improper Ku
klux Khan. The old Khan was organized II" a tins
of stress and turmoil for the avowed purposeso of pro-
Sect;ag the rights and safety of the white people of
The south. We know something Of the base 'pur-
soses to which it was put, notwithstanding the laud-
sssbe intentions of its founders, and notwithstanding
lie fact that it may achieve some good. The
sew Khan, which has borrowed the regalia and aped
The ritual of its predecessor, has no similar excuse
Cor existence. In the performance of it's self-seiect-
ID mission to purify American life and insure the
supremacy of the white race, by the methods which
e employs it invites the adoption, Of those methods
by groups of lawless persons who are neither more
nor less than insurrectionary nlobs.ss
The Khan excludes from its membership per-
sons of certain designated classes. Mr.. punne's
council seizes upon this and invites all such persons
INTO membership in the new organization, the avoW-
ed purpose Of which is to ceunteract the work of the
klan, and to create among the various groups which
constitute the American people the spirit of har-
snony and b~rotherly love. The Council is as un.
Necessary as the. Khan.
In the American constitution we have the basis
i;or the best kind Of Unity eeuncil. In the republic
formed under the constitution we have the best
ssird Of council. The best answe to an undesirable
tendency in our public affairs is insistence on the
principles OF the constitution, and due diligence in
Eoelng a good American citizen.

WINDING THE CLOCK.
When 4 was but a. little Lad, my old
Grandfather raid
That none, should wind the clock but
he and 80. at time for bed.
He'd tumble for the curious key kept
high upon the shelf
And set aside that little task entirely
for himself.
In time Grandfather passed away,
and 81 that duty fell
Unto my Father who performed the
weekly custom well;
He held that clocks were not to be by
careless persons wound
And he alone should turn the key or
move the hands around. i
! anyied him that, little task, and
wished that Il might be
n to be entrusted with the
turning Of the key;
But year by year the clock was his
exclusive bit of care
Until the day the angles came and
smoothed his silver hair.
Teday tho task is mine to do, like
those who've gone before -.

and CLASSY door
And until at my chamber door Gods
messenger shall knock
TO me alone shall be reserved, the
