Mr.. Willberg, a farmer of Iowa for

Gold farm west of town On which Mr.,
Pope formerly lived. Mr.. Willberg
says there are many farmers in his
vicinity back east who are coming to
Dakota this year as land is so high
there that even a big crop will not pay
interest on the price of the land and
that farmers must go where land is
cheaper.

George Gordon Meade.

With the President Of the United
States in attendance, fitting tribute
was paid yesterday to one Of the great
soldiers Of the civil war, when ground
was broken for the monument to be
erected in this city to the memory OF
Gen. George Gordon Meade.
The story Of Gen. Meade's career is,
in q way, one Of the most pathetic in
American history. He was a scholarly
soldier, deeply learned in military lore,
but a man of great modesty and lack.
ing that supreme confidence in hinself
so essential to leadership. It was not
in accord with any wish Of his own
that he was in command Of the Union
forces at Gettysburg. Hooker's cam.
paign, which terminated so disastrous
ly at Charlottesville, had destroyed
Lincoln's confidence in that general,
and when Lee carried his campaign
into Maryland and Pennsylvania, and
i. was seen that a battle was impend-
ing upon which the fate Of the Union
would be staked, the President ordered
Meade to supersede Hooker In com
mand OF the Army OF the Potomac.
Meade did not want the command.

Prohibition of Guns!

Prohibition in various forms has
been set forth as q prevention Of, or a
check on, crime, and now it is the
1t is worth considering, and the idea
would have the support Of large part
Of public. opinion. There is a prohibit
ton now against carrying deadly
weapons, but it does not prohibit. The
law against carrying deadly weapons
no doubt reduces the number carried,
but it too often happens that q man
who will pack a gun does not care
much about any law or any kind OF
law. The pistol-toter ought to be
squelched before he has a chance to
use his gun, but it is not easy to find
out whether a man carries weapon
before he has drawn it.
A New York supreme court justice,
in passing sentence on a man-killer.
gave it as his opinion that the govern
ment should control all firearms and
ammunition. He pointed out, what
everybody knows, that hardly q day
passes that we do not read Of hold.

said that the ease with which the
criminally inclined obtain revolvers is
the evil to which must be ascribed the
prevalence of crimes of violence, and
that just so long as the gunman and
highwayman can possess himself Of
a pistol just so long must we expect
hold.ups and murders. Pistols and
their cartridges are no more a f1t
commodity for general and indiscrim.

way the justice put it. His solution
Of the problem would be that the pri.

Naval Limitation,

One days debate in the Senate on
the naval limitation treaty developed
that the only fault to be found with
it was that it did not provide for ''gen-
eral disarmament" and include land
disarmament. The charge that the
ratio of naval construction adopted
left the United States at a disparity
with Great Britain was demolished in
the clear showing made by Senator
Lodge Of facts and figures on tonnage
and guns.
Even those senators who regretted
that the millennium of world disarms.-
ment had not been reached avowed in
tention of voting for ratification Of the
treaty. Senator Underwood voiced
what was probably the opinion of the
entire Senate when he said of the
treaty that it establishes precedent
in the world that may hereafter mean
an onward step in the realm Of peace
among nations and that at the end
Of the fifteen-year life of the agree
ment, 1.-The great democratic peoples
of the world, having found that they
could meet and agree not to arm ma
tion against nation. will demand that
the action which has begun here shall
be renewed in the future and win
disarm for universal peace. That same
sentiment has been uttered by Presi-
dent Harding, by Mr.. Balfour of Eng.
land ana by delegates to the Washing
ton conference.
Senator Lodge gave reinsurance,

ment's parity Of naval strength with
England's. mo naval man Of stand.
ing" he said, will say that on the
day Of battle, which is the day Of the
crucial test, he would prefer the navy
of Great Britain or the navy OF ia
pan to that of the United States"
Gratifying language, that. which
will be approved by the American
people. The Senate. which is for the
treaty, will doubtless see to 1t that
this favorable position Of our Navy is
not jeopardized by unwise reductions
in appropriations for the upkeep Of the
ships, for the manning Of them with
crews, for fuel for practice cruises and
powder and shot to enable the gunners
to learn how to shoot.
The Navy is to be limited in size,
but it must not be reduced in effective
ness within that limit.

Two Young Men.

The Crown Prince Of Japan and the
Prince Of Wales are young men des-
tined for great parts in world affairs.
They are now qualifying for their
work.
Last year the former took his first
look around in the occidental world.
He was everywhere most cordially re-
ceived. and returned home informed
and refreshed by what he had seen
and heard. His vision, necessarily
was considerably enlarged.
The latter is now taking his first
look around in the oriental world. In
few days he will land in Japan and
be the guest Of the country for q
month. The arrangements for his en-
tertainment are elaborate. and insure
him both q delightful and a profitable
visit. That he will return home in.
formed and refreshed by his travels is
certain. r
The young japanese is likely to have
his opportunity first. and at no dis
tant time. The health Of the Emperor
of Japan is precarious. When he goes
his son will step into his shoes.
The young Englishman's opportu
nifty win come later. King George is in
his prime, and the condition of world
matters and the British Empires re-
lation to developing events should
serve to prolong his life. But when
the sons opportunity comes the fruits
of his travels should show in his i'm
provement OF it.
The war has produced a new world
which in many things must be ordered
in new ways. Young men for action
and here are two young men who
when they get into action and into
their stride will be prominent and i'm
portant in the world picture.

Mr.. Wilson's Prophecies.

Mr.. Wilson continues to predict an
early democratic triumph. The latest
prediction is contained in letter to
an officer Of q Chicago post Of the
American Legion, who had requested
him to discuss current political is-
Sues" In declining the request Mr..
Wilson said:
Certainly service men, above all
others, are qualified to express their
devotion to the principles we believe
in. It was for those very principles
that they offered their lives. For my
to be in themselves SO powerful that
no political blindness or iniquity can
defeat their triumph. I believe that
triumph to be Immediately at hand.
and that we shall very soon indeed
in failing to fuifil the objects fol
which our gallant comrades fought" ."
Immediately at hand" must mean
November, since the first test Of senti-
ment will occur then. Mr.. Wilson g
further calculation probably is that an
other triumph will take place in 1924.
and that with the democracy again in
control at the White House as well az
on Capitol Hill, "the ugly record" he
refers to-the rejection by the Senate
Of the Versailles treaty-can, and will,
be wiped away"
What will be the procedure? A re-
newal in some way Of the Versailles
pact, and its submission to the Senate
for ratification? Is that to be a fea-
ture Of this years campaign? II 30,
it will add to the interest Of cam.
paign which will not lack tor interest
ing features.
Mr.. Wilson makes his predictions 90
confidently, he must feel sure Of his
ground: and that argues communica-
ton with his friends in different sec.
tions Of the country. Undoubtedly, he
is taking a lively interest in politics;
and the suggestion is very persuasive
that his friends are at pains to report
to him their observations as to local
sentiment, and their views on what
they observe.
