CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.

This spring Fargo made redoubled
efforts to accomplish something
through a civic Improvement society
Last year--with Mrs. II. L. Bolley as
president-the movement was started
in what seemed to be a satisfactory
manner. The advocates of the plan
had visions of wonderful things to bt
accomplished this year.
A new set of officers were chosen
and the society for 1909 was launched
apparently under favorable auspices
A well known resident offers a reward
for the society-whether lost, strayed
or swiped.
The men have always shirked this
work and it is the history of most
cities that little has been accomplish
ed except through the efforts Of the
ladies. In Fargo they were depended
upon almost entirely. 1t seems that
even they have failed to make good
in this instance.

LINCOLN FOR PROHIBITION.

Success has the following comment
on the attitude of Lincoln and prohi-
bition:
In view of the widespread interest
taken by America in prohibition, Mr..
Lincoln's views on this subject, as
long ago as 1853, command more than
notice. In a speech delivered by him
at Springfield, ILL.,. MIR. Lincoln said:
'The liquor traffic is a cancer in
society, eating out its vitals and threat
ening destruction. and all attempts to
regulate it will not only prove abortive
but will also aggravate the evil. II the
prohibition of slavery is good for the
black man, the prohibition of the liquor
traffic is equally good and constitu-
tional for the white man.
There must be no more attempts ia
regulate the cancer; 1t must be eradi-
Gated; for, until this is done. all classes
must continue exposed to become the
victims Of strong drink. .'
THE most effectual remedy would be
the passage of law altogether abol-
ishing the liquor traffic.
Law must protect and conserve right
things, and If there is any evil in the
land that threatens society or in.
dividuals more than another, 1t is the
liquor traffic"

TAPPEN TOWNSHIP
Auction Of Lots VIII Occur Aug. 25-
Many Business Chances
Open at Once.

Considerable interest is being dis
played in the auction sale on Aug. 2E
of town lots at Tappen, N. d.. west
of here, on the main line of the North
ern Pacific railroad. The town has
a great future, because of the fact
that 1t is the trade center of large
and rich country, which Includes the
famous Troy farm now thrown open to
settlers. Many families are moving
on, that land and there is an ever in
creasing demand for more business
houses.
Tappen urgently needs an imple-
ment and hardware store, a general
merchandise store, bank, hotel, drue
store, physician, lumber yards, poo
and billiard hall, barber shop, confec.
| tionery, job printing Office and other
lines OF business These are needed
up many moro enterprises will have tC
be established there TO meet the de-
mand.
The auction sale of town and resi-
dence lots provides an excellent op-
portunity to merchants to secure 9
| good business location at a nominal
cost as well as a business that is cer-
| tain to grow and be prosperous from
the start.
| The auction will be in charge of Col
p. III. Hillman of Sioux City. Ia. tho
man who has sold more townsites thar
any other living man. There will bt
band at Tappen on the day OF tht
sale and refreshments will be served
by the ladies' of the local church

arrangements will be announced later.

BANK GUARANTY.

The report of the bank commissioner
OF Oklahoma is that ninety national
banks have been converted into state
banks since the enactment OF the bank
guaranty law by that state. The num-
ber Of banks have increased in much
greater proportion than the amount
OF the deposits There is no over
whelming sentiment in favor OF the
plan in the new state-despite the
operation OF the plan.
THE opposition to the law is summed
up tersely by one banker as follows:
First. It has Increased the number
OF banks beyond the proportion of the
Increase In deposits.
Second. II has enabled incompetent
and unscrupulous men to get into the
banking business and in many cases
such men are handling large sums OF
money.
Third. It demoralizes business for
the reason that the banker who pays
the highest rates Of interest and loans
at the lowest rate on the least security
and is an all-around good fellow, gets
the deposits.
Fourth. It has forced seventy five
good national banks out OF business
and in most cases replaced them with
banks of smaller capital

HEN CAME BEFORE the EGG.
Old Question Settled b" Arch-foe of
Dr.. = oster.

Los Angeles, Aug. 17.-Dr. A. C.
Dixon, resting here after helping oust
DR.. George Burman Forter from the
BAPTIST church, declares that God could
as easily made a whale as a speciality
to drink down Jonah as he could an
angleworm, and that God must feel
lonesome now that DR. Eliot, Of Har-
ward, has made a new religion for the
future" DIR. Dixon said:
THE time was when college presi-
dents recognized a power greater than
themselves, but that day is passing.
We now find collegians yawping
against the Creator of the universe.
We find such men as DR.. Eliot die
tating the religion of the future.
The construction of the world took
place Just as told in Genesis. There. i
understand. is one man in Germany
who still believes In the Darwinan
theory. Maybe few others are left
somewhere in the world, but | cannot
point to them. l tell you that the en-
bryonic theory is a tissue of absurd
tiles. There isn't any question of
which came first-the egg or the hen,

At the Grand.

The management of the Grand is putting
on a bill this week that pleases. 1t Is
cutching the crowds In good shape and
there Is sufficient variety to satisfy all
patrons.
The big hit of the week is the Nat
Nazarvo Troupe of acrobats. They have
won fame all along the vaudeville circuit
and are adding to the excellent reputation
by their turn In Fargo this week. They
are original and daring There Is a snap
and go and n newness about their turn.
Charles Howison, a bird warbler, is
certainly a noisy one. He has all kinds Of
things In his turn and 1t catches the
crowds. He makes some of the feathered
songsters sound like base imitators.
A bit of fun Is poked Mt the suffragettes
by Helen Beresford and company. 1t
seems Justified. If the new woman is to
wear the pantaloon skirt that Is dragged
into the skit 1t is from the pen of Ulric
h. Collins, who appeared for years In
Way Down East. He plays opposite Miss
Beresford
Perhaps John Mahoney never carried a
bod, but as president of the hod carriers
union. he gives laughable imitation OF
parliamentary practice. wherein the brick
Is used as gayel. His greatest success is
attained In singing Irish melodies.
The motion pictures and the Illustrated
songs are the kind that strike the popular
fancy.
