ENFORCING Law.
A correspondent who shares with He

Every few minutes some one arises to proclaim
that al efforts to insure peace by any other means
than the moral regeneration Of the world are neces-
sariiy futile, and then, therefore, the arms confer
ence and all similar gatherings are doomed to fail
ure at their very inception.
Literally this is true. Therefore, literally, we
may IS well give it all up as a bad job, and let the
world fight its way on to destruction. There has
never been a time in the history Of the human race
when all men were moral, and when some men did
not Try to despoil others, by force or fraud. No
such time will ever come. ii that is what we are
looking for we may as well save our eyesight.
But when the subject is considered in a sane
and rational manner, without the attempt to put a
strained construction on words, we find that a very
fair measure Of peace and security may be obtained
sby means which are entirely within the reach Of
finite human beings. Universal goodness is out
az the question But il is possible for those people
awho are fairly decent, and who are largely IN the
majority, 10 ID organize themselves that the small
mnihhofity 81 crooks and thugs and other undesir-
abtes may be held ii restraint. Starting with the
lattyDhat most people have regard for the rights Of
0thsfSswe have built social systems BY means Of
Which pessonal xights are fairly well protected
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1921-12-29
from those whose inclinations are to commit acts

from those whose inclinations are to commit acts
of theft or Of violence.
Back of the desire of decent society for peace
and order stands the physical force of society. We
have the policeman with his club, the sheriff with
his badge of office, the judge and jury, the county
Jail and the penitentiary. We do not merely warn
the prospective criminal that if he yields to his de-
sire we shall disaPprove Of his act. We warn him
that the commission Of the act will subject him to
the payment of a fine, to Imprisonment. or to both.
We do not request him to go to jail. We seize hin,
and place him there by force. IF the force ordinar-
lily provided is not adequate, we can s,1mmon more.
Back OF the ordinary peace officers stands the whole
physical force Of the local community, and back of
that the force of the state and the nation. There
may be improvement on the details of our system,
but there will never be abandonment of the princi-
pie. !"
In the international field we have a similar sit
uatlon. The peoples of the world generally desire
peace. Usually they respect each others rights.
In, the past it has been left for the aggressor and
his intended victim to fight it out by themselves
unless some other nation, for the sake of its own
security, or in anticipation of some advantage, has
chosen to interfere. There has been no system.
Some day we shall see the same principles which
apply in our domestic intercourse applied in the
international field, and the nation which otherwise
would break the peace will find itself restrained
either by the knowledge that it will be subjected to
the punishment of an ostracism which will be the
equivalent of fine and imprisonment, or by the GER
tainty OF physical punishment in the form of invad-
ed territory, captured cities, and the other undesir-
able features OF war. -
each other or in the relations of individuals, there
must lie somewhere power, by means of physical
force if necessary, to curb the unruly and protect
the weak.

ANOTHER SCANDAL DISCOVERED.

Senator LaFollette has discovered another
scandal. This time he finds that men representing
great railway companies have engaged or have. at
tempted to engage in a conspiracy with leaders in
farm organization movements to defeat Legislation
in the interest of the farmer and of the masses Of
the people generally. The precise charge which he
makes is that on a given date there was a confer
ence attended by railway representatives and other
representatives of big business and the leaders of
several farmers organizations at which an effort
was made to secure the defeat Of legislation for the
repeal Of the railway guarantee law and of other
which has been held to be Injurious to
the farmers of the country. Mr.. LaFol1ette init
mates that the farm representatives present were
inclined to aid in this movement but for some rea-
son which he does not explain, they seem not to
have carried out this purpose.
Explicit denial of Mr.. LaFollette's charges has
been made by President Howard OF the Farm Blu
|reau Federation and by some others against whom,
the charges have been made. The issue, therefore,
is between Senator LaFollette and these men. The
fact that the charges are brought by Senator La
Toilette indicates at least a probability that they
are not well founded because the Wisconsin sena-
has a fashion of bringing charges promiscuous-
lily against all sorts and conditions Of men which,
upon investigation are found to be utterly baseless.
This may or may not be the case in the present in
stance, but the history Of Mr., LaFoliette's activities
at least gives il a strong appearance Of a probability.
II is quite likely that some little furore will be
caused by the controversy and the later develop
Iments will be awaited with a good deal Of interest.
