LEAGUE DEFEATED.
Returns from Minnesota and South Dakota in­
dicate that the league was snowed under. In Min­
nesota it backed Evan's and in South Dakota the
league opposed Norbeck. Burnquist1 the loyalist
candidate has gone over the top and indications
elsewhere indicate that the league was defeated
in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.
,'We hope the first act of the new states in what
was once the realm ol' the dual monarchy will be
to declare war on Germany.
THE WOMEN DID IT.
Miss Minnie Nielson's strength developed at the
election and the defeat of Macdonald is reflected
in the early returns. This was the women's part
in the election and it Mamentable that then
power did not extend to tfvery office on the ballot.
The results might have all squared with Miss
Nielson's vote. While it may be too early to pre­
dict beyond question her election, every indication
points that way. She is running as high as six to
one in some of the cities and in the country she
has made such inroads on Macdonald's support
that when all the votes are counted it seems like­
ly the props will be completely knocked from un­
der him and socialistic influences removed from
ttye state department of public instruction.
iThe women did it.
Better get a nice, blank outline map of the world
ready for filling in wjth the new boundary lines.
Only the continents will remain the same.
4 M'CURDY'S FIGHT.
McCurdy is on top in early returns and it may
take thie soldiers' ballots to decide that close fight.
The victim of dirty sordid political chicanery, he
made one of the most brilliant counter attacks in
the history of county politics.
The Allen-Patterson crowd tdrnedi their gas
shells loose the eleventh hour and resorted to the
tactics which have made their alliance notorious
in this county. Those who care to consult the
records can do so.
Forces of clean government, and advocates of Jwar
But our fighting state's attorney is not defeated
yet. He will be in the fight until the last ballot
is counted. Then his hosts of friends hope to see
him go over the top.
At any rate, victorious or defeated, his record
is clean and in any event h& retains the respect of
a majority of the citizens of Bismarck who despise
the political tactics which too long have charac­
terized our county politics.
Certain academic minds of a demi-Boche per­
suasion are arguing that if we impose just indem­
nities on the Huns we'll destroy their business
life, and they plead that the world can't get along
without Germany. The answer seems to be that
we've successfully been doing just that for over
four years.
REGULATING THE LEMON.
The fruits of our misfortune just now
oranges and lemons.
Influenza has revealed to us the true nature of
the gentleman from whom we always secured our
juicy deserts. It be-Hoovers us to hand our
swarthy-skinned purveyor of saffron-skinned
fruits his "just deserts."
Oranges have hit the 20-cents-per-each mark.
Lemon prices catapulted from low as 12 cents to
50 cents a dozen.
The exploded explanation is the uniifeual de­
mand due to the flu and a below-normal crop of
citrus fruits.
The shortage of supply, under ordinary condi­
tions, might affect the price slightly. The un­
usual demand could be met with limited sales to
separate customers*
The increased call lessens by waste through de­
terioration of stock. It likewise lowers selling
cost. So instead of inflation, prices should have
.remained stable even though a shortage actually
exists!

PREMATURE PEACE.
Security League.)
Some time ago the people of this country might
have been divided roughly into two classes: Those
that read about the war and those that did not.
Today practically every one in the nation is inter­
ested in the war, but again may be divided into
two classes: Those that think and those that do
not—or cannot.
Jt is only those incapable of grasping this great
war in its entirety, of looking beyond the mere
casualty lists—which horrify ,them—that hope
and pray for an immediate peace by negotiation
a peace that would leave the German empire in
the position of a man who has had a severe illness
but only needs time and care and recuperative rest
—something the German empire now yearns for
—to be stronger than ever again. ...
By this time it would s,eem that the densest per
son in the United States must know that Germany
is insatiably greedy, mad for world power, con­
sumed with hatred of her rivals in wealth and im­
portance, as ruthless and savage under a thin
veneer Us the ancient Huns, without pity, mercy,
honor psychologically incapable of telling the
truth, or considering the rights of others, and with
no sense of fair play whatever. And yet you hear
constantly—for the less intelligent'of Americans
are incurable optimists—"Oh, be sure she has had
enough. Her people never will stand for another
war. She really desires peace now, and recog­
nizes her mistake in plunging the world into war
—she never dreamed it would go so far. But let
us stop this killing business. The future can take
care of itself anyhow.
If this war finishes with the Hohenzollerns and
Prussia in power and an undiqmembered-Austria
Hungary to support her, it will be because of a
breakdown of morale on the part of the allied
powers, which has let them drift supinely, into/a
negotiated peac£. And if Prussia remains in the
saddle and the Southern Slavs have not been per-'
mitted to form a strong buffer state, independent
of a crippled and impotent Austria, we shall not
only be plunged into another war ten years hence1
but into a hopeless war. The same demoralization
that had led our European allies to consent to a
compromise woujd have relaxed their moral fibre
to sufch an exfenf'that they wodld make little more
than the gesture of war. We, meanwhile, should
be an armed camp from the Pacific to the Atlantic,
with a navy some three times its present size. Our
present taxes would be a'jriere trifle to what we
should groan under until«our issue with Germany
was settled 6nb^for all./
Prussia has not altered its characteristics in
fifteen hundred years not since the days of Gen
seric and Alaric, when the northern tribes of Ger­
many under those historic freebooters lived for
the spoils of war, and won the honor of
The record of Prussia is even worse today. Is any
one really so innocent as to imagine that she
would have a change of heart in our time Yes„
when the leopard changes his sppts to the gold
stars of sacrifice. She would whip Russia into
shape, and then, head down, charge the world
again with something like twenty millions of
trained fighting men behind her. ..
There would be no doubt whatever about the
fate of Europe. We should have a better chance
of resistance, but none whatever of conquest, not
even if we sank the German navy. In any case
the war would drag on for years. Now, if the
pacifists, socialists, and traitors in our midst, as
well as those weak timorous souls that weep over
our men who are delighted to be over there and
doing their duty, can be silenced, we stand a fair
chanc of winning the war next year by sheer
superiority of numbers and generalship, smashing
the military machine and chasing the wicked am­
bitious and unscrupulous powers that alone are
responsible for this hideous scourge, into a limbo
from which they never will emerge.
The future of the world literally lies in the hol­
low of our hand. At present that hand is a fist
and Germany's mean little soul has shuddered and
shrunk under its impact. But let those iron fingers
relax before Prussia is on her knees begging for
mercy, and we may as well make her a present
(with impressive ceremonies, on a golden platter)
of modern civilization, including those mere side
issues, democracy and individual freedom, and
have done with it. A compromise peace and
Prussia will lick her chops and sit down to the
leisurely task of gating us -alive.
jWho's willing to bet all central Europe as far
west as the North sea won't be giving a good imi­
tation of polshevik Russia for some months to
come?

STANDS FOR PROHIBITION.
October 26. 1918.
Editor Tribune:
Dear Sir: Your heart was right
when you denounced booze a day or
two ago. .May 1 go a step farther and
say that you were legally right as
well. Prohibition is written into the
constitution of the state of North Da­
kota. The honest, law abiding con­
scientious citizen, will obey that law
even although it may deprive him of
what he believes he is sentitled to un­
der ordinary circumstances.
This article in the constitution cov­
ers all that the bone dry- law covers.
The bone dry law was enacted simply
to prevent the booze-fighting, hear
drlnking and wine-blbbing judges, and.
lawyers, et al.. from defeating the pro­
hibition law b.V resorting to techni­
calities, etc., and down right disre­
gard for all law where there is
booze thirst there is no law. The man
who is looking for a loop hole through
which 'to violate the prohibition clause
of (he state constitution is one who
confesses that his thirst has vastly
more weight with him than the wel­
fare of the less, informed and less self
restrained people of this state, who
need the protection which this law
gives. Unwittingly the Honorable
Judfee may havo started something
that will come clattering down on the
devoted heads of the booze friends of
this state
It is up to the next legislature to
see to it that the present, or a more
drastic bone dry prohibition law is
pla*W on our statute books as the ma­
jority of the people of this state de­
mand:
The man who thinks that he is frcei
from legal obligation because the bone
dry law has not been properly enacted
i.s libt freed from his obligation to
obey the constitution.
No subterfuge can free him from the
legal and moral obligation hQ is un­
der to obey the prohibition law now
a part of the constitution of this state.
If the so-called' 'Respectable, even
honorable,- high lights, of this state
can't contain themselves without their
booze, whv don't they get out of here?
