Fine Cooperation

It is well, now that good share of the wheat
crop has been threshed and shipped to market,
that we reflect on what the railroads have done
to assure its speedy movement and yet prevent
embargoes.
Both the state railroad board and the fed
eral reserve bank of Minneapolis declare that
the crop movement this year from North Da-
kota was the fastest in history. Combine har-
vesters were used successfully and aided speedy
work, while motor trucks were more generally
pressed into use.
In the case of the Missouri Slope country,
the 500 and Northern Pacific railroads earlier
in the season made preparations for heavy
shipments. BY concentrating cars at strategic
points and by careful watch Of traffic condi-
lions, the crop was moved more speedily than
ever before, and at the same time an embargo
was prevented.
The cooperation Of the railroads at time
when they were most needed is something
which should not 60 unappreciated. It was
fine work they did.

For the Gold Star Mothers

A Pennsylvania congressman has suggested
to the American Legion project to have all
the Gold Star Mothers of the world war make
pilgrimage at government expense to visit
the graves of their sons in France.
The money could be spent in worse ways We
have sent diplomats, conferees, investigators
abroad in the interest of peace. Here would
be the greatest indictment of war that America
possibly could set before the world. Such a
pilgrimage of "the heroes who stay at home
would be something to remember before enter
ing another war.
Besides, some very important people would
thus be enabled to see the land where their
boys fought and died. The suggestion is worth
consideration.

From the Ranks of Poverty

Yale scientists recently discovered that most
Of the men in Who's Who in America are
men of small families. Here and there the cry
was taken up across the country to the effect
that with our best families thus waning, a
dearth Of superior blood might be one of the
terrible things that are about to happen in
America.
Among the various pessimistic fates to which
dark views of our future have recently con-
signed us, we think this is the one that will
keep us awake the less. For it so happens in
America that now and then an up-and-coming
young man walks out of log cabin somewhere
in the backwoods 1--WE have Abraham Lincoln
prominently in mind), and right into the white
house, or some other place equally as promi-
nent in his country's eye.
Henry Ford's Irish immigrant father we do
not find listed in any of the old Who's Who's.
We have sought for record of John D. Rookie
fellers father, too, and find as little for public
record. We could go on and on, mentioning
Andrew Mellon, Charles Schwab, Thomas Edi-
son and scores of others who are considered
among our great men. Their fathers were
little seen or heard.
On the other hand, going into the Blue Books
of two-score years ago, and taking count of the
illustrious families of that day, we find they
have left few descendants worthy of Who's
Who ranking today.
Men keep coming up from the unknown.
When the top is reached, it seems, descent is
the only thing that remains to think of.

an open fire, and all through the neighborhood
the smell of chili-sauce floated on the air.
What smell that was! How many jaded
appetites, how many stomachs ruined by too
steady restaurant diet, would welcome that
sweet and spicy breeze! In our imagination, as
we passed that roadside stand we could picture
a boy plodding his way home, tired, after full
day Of school and football, getting closer, and
then see his face when that odor that you can
almost taste intrigued his nostrils
Later on the apple butter was made in that
same great copper vat. Hot apple butter on
homemade bread! Those two memories per-
sist whenever we see tomato or pass an apple
orchard. We hope we never shall forget those
enticing October smells.
Maybe there is something to that after all,
about mans most cherished possession being
his appetite!

Editorial Comment
Bismarck Recaptures It's Fort
Duluth Herald

The most cheerful town in the Northwest
this week is Bismarck. Old Fort Lincoln, long
abandoned by the war department and for many
years brooding alone with it's memories, is again
throbbing with life.
Tuesday battalion of the Fourth United
States infantry, about two hundred and fifty
officers and men, detrained and will be sta
toned there indefinitely. In fact it has been ru-
mored that this is but the first installment of
troops to be sent there and that eventually the
famous old post may become the center for
field maneuvers of reserve and National Guard
troops covering large area.
Established in 1872 on the Missouri river
near Bismarck to protect the builders of the
Northern Pacific against the Indians, Fort Lin
coin has had memorable history. Many not
able army officers were stationed there in the
seventies and eighties, but it first broke into
the limelight in 1874. In the summer of that
year the dashing General Custer started from
there for the Black Hills, with the result that
the country was shortly electrified by the news
that gold has been found in the grass roots"
Two years later, in May, 1876, Custer and his
soldiers again left their wives and families in
Fort Lincoln and rode away on their last jour-
ney-the fatal expedition to the Yellowstone
with it's appalling end in June when the general
and his entire command were wiped out at the
Little Big Horn. What tragic memories the
old fort must hold of the waiting widows and
children when they learned Of the bloody
slaughter!
North Dakota was nearly q wilderness then,
with few struggling settlements in the Red
River valley, but following the dispersal of the
Indians after the Custer catastrophe, settlers
began to flock into the state. Soon they were
coming by thousands, and gradually the num-
Der Of soldiers at the posts were reduced. Fin
ally they were withdrawn altogether and, ex-
cept for a brief period during the European
war. there have been no troops at Fort Lin
coin for over 20 years.
The Missouri slope is now q well developed
farm and stock region with scores of thriving
towns. Bismarck is not only the capital Of the
state but lively trading and banking center
with about ten thousand people. It does not
need troops for protection now, but it's citizens
see in the restoration Of the post and its pos
sible enlargement new business and social con-
facts Of great value.

WASHINGTON 81
LETTER SKI

Then, when Macmillan himself
was captured, Juarez, who had been
president and who claimed Maxi
milian's reign was Illegal, invoked
the law against the emperor, and
Macmillan died before firing
squad because he had been taken
"arms in hand against the consti-
tuted government"
Porfirio Diaz, during his long die
tatorship, carried out the law with
gusto. No one knows how many
hundreds-or thousands-of leaders
and soldiers were shot down by his
firing squads, because there were
no real newspaper correspondents in
those days and Diaz, who had invited
foreign interests to come into Mex
leo and take everything in sight
with his guarantee of military pro-
lection. always maintained q strict
censorship.
When Madero was elected presi-
dent after the revolution he was
asked to enforce the law to- the ex-
tent Of killing off a certain few of
the reactiona:y leaders so hat they
might not be able to und, the good
work OF the revolution. Madero
ignored this advice and pretty soon
he himself was captured and killed,
after which the Huerta Dictatorship
was set up.
With Huerta out and Carranza in
the presidency, i. was announced
that the law would be enforced
against all rebels. But Carranza
did not carry it out. He put most
Of his prisoners in his own army.
1t was q common sight to see q
batch Of hundred Of more prison.
ers kept locked up for a week or
50. believing each sunrise would be
their last.
Then the batch would be marched
to the railroad station with women
and children running down the street
bewailng the prospective fate Of
their men, only to learn that they
were to be taken to the front to
fight for the constitutional army.
Americans who saw these spectacles
say the men made excellent soldiers.
Oregon executed very few rebels
in the de Ia Huerta revolution, but
spared hundreds Of other prisoners
of more or less Importance. It
seems likely that Gales will call
off the firing squads with the pres
emit revolt well under control, but
