state Fair.

Fargo, NJ D., April Ito The Fo-
rum: While at Grand Forks yester-
day 1 heard the state fair question
freely commented upon by number
of prominent citizens, who evidently
feel very much as the people of Fargo
feel; that the bringing of a suit to
snatch from our sister city the whole
of the appropriation for the state fair
is very unfortunate affair.
1t may be true that Grand Forks
failed to comply with all the require-
ments of the law in this connection,
but 1t should not be forgotten that the
Grand Forks Fair association had the
most adverse conditions TO contend
with, which proved a heavy handicap
to the success of their first attempt at
holding a state fair. Five wet days
out of six during the fair week all
most entirely destroyed their gate re-
ceipts. This was loss over which
the association had no control, and
consequently the financial returns were
disappointing. Had the same condi-
tions obtained at Fargo last year the
Fargo Fair association would have
been in still worse plight. But in
stead OF five wet days we had five fine
days out Of the six during fair week,
and of course we did much better fl
nancially With these facts in view.
how would the people of Fargo look
upon Grand Forks taking similar ac-
ton to that now being taken by Fargo,
were the circumstances reversed?
There are two sides TO this question,
and the city of Fargo should not be
placed I'M the light OF being gfasping,
wolfish city ready to prey upon any
less fortunate community.
III vote of the citizens of Fargo
could be taken on this matter ! believe
that an overwhelming majority would
be against the bringing OF this suit to
compel the state auditor TO pay over
all the money to the Fargo association
and none to Grand Forks.
No doubt the people of Fargo would
like to have the state fair located here
permanently, but they desire to secure
1T by fair means. and not by some
trick, or subterfuge.
The fact that the agricultural COLI
lege Is located here Is q very strong
argument In favor Or permanently Ak
Ing the fair ait this point. and All loyal
citizens can be depended upon for their
support in bringing this about, LII car
ried out In q lawful and honorable
manner; bur Il seems inexcusabla to
attempt to secure II by the methods
now employed. and believe that 1t ID
the duty OF The citizens or Fargo to
place the city In a proper light by de-
manding the withdrawal OF the suit
ilpw pending before The supreme court.

Another plan shows the location of all

New Rockford.

New Rockford, N. d., April 9-To
The Forum. The duties of the school
directors throughout the state are uni
versalIy neglected. They fall to meet on
the regulapsdays prescribed by law and
then do 1T secretly, or among them
selves; they fail to provide with fuel
from time to time and when there is
plenty in store; sooner or later the
teacher is often inconvenienced by In
sufficient fuel for the continuation of
the school and he has to probe the di-
.rectors continually If he is to get any
fuel and then this director Will say let
the other one get it, etc.
The school Is closed, the teacher out
of a position and all for the want of a
stitch In time by the director There
Is no provision made In the general
school laws of North Dakota whereby
1t states that school may be discontin-
ued for want of fuel, nor is any pro-
Vision made that director can in his
own boiling manner tie up the prog
ress Of the school by his own fiagrant
neglect of duties. "A man that shir6s
this small but honorable Office should
be totally disfranchised from holding
anything higher. In reply to the Wat
SON school row believe that the
teacher can collect for the 9 months
term unless sufficient grounds exist
for her dismissal and placing a
paddock on the door is one OF the many
mistaken errors upon the unqualified
director. It shows ignorance of school

The Real Murderers.

Harry Orchard confesses to
have caused the death of some
thirty odd persons in Colorado by
the use of gun and bomb. The
world, of course, raises its hands
IN holy horror that such premed-
itated and diabolical crime should
be committed in a country where
civilization has reIgned for years
Yet we sit idly by day by day
and permits thousands of patent
quacks to sell and defraud the
people IN our midst, with result
that not only those poor dupes
robbed, but murdered-murdered
)y patent preparations advertised
for children that would eat out a
cast-iron stomach of a Missouri
mule. The patent medicine grave
yard is larger than all the soldiers
cemeteries In the United States
combined. Yet when we read of
this poor, debased criminal, we
shudCler to think of the lives he
will somoday have to answer for.
But one thing is certain-if Harry
Orchard burns in hell for the
murders he has committed, hell
is not hot enough to receive the
patent medicine quacks who are
robbing, defrauding and murder
ing the peonle of the United
States by wholesale.-Lake Char
