In this weeks issue we reprint an
article from the Fargo Daily Forum
of North Dakota, the best and most
representative newspaper published
in North Dakota. The article deals
with the prohibition question as view
ed by leading business men of Fargo
and should the Forum canvass the
state on the same lines it would find
the sentiment the same all over the
commonwealth. On July 7, 1910 1T
was just 20 years since the prohibi-
tion law was placed on the statute
books of North Dakota. During the
entire 20 years as we'll as the five
previous years, this editor has seen
the state of North Dakota develop
from wild and woody saloon ridden
state into the present prohibition state
and it, after seeing the advantages
gained in the present condition, We
should now say that prohibition is a
failure, we would certainly be guilty ID
gross Misrepresentation. We do not
claim that prohibition can redeem
downright drunkard who is so steep
in liquor as to be maudlin when he
proclaims in a cracked voice which
sounds like cross between bull
frog and caliope, that he has been
through the mill and knows that pro-
hibition is failure. If you are in
favor of prohibition, read the article,
and your convictions will be strength
ened. If you are NOT in favor of
prohibition, read the article and you
will see that men who, twenty years
ago held the same views, are today
the staunchest supporters of prohib-
ition.

Importance CT Deep Breathing.

Nervousness can be cured by form
ing the habit Of breathing deep and
long, and one medical authority pre-
scribes it in his schedules for nervous
women. All singers are invariably
high-chested and free from colds or
chronic coughing spells. 1t is because
they have learned to breathe from the
waist instead of the top of the lungs
as the majority OF people do. To
breathe deeply is to stimulate the
heart and circulation 1t means a full
high chest and broad shoulders. 1t
means practical Immunity from the
dangers incurred by exposure. 1t
means a good carriage and well-poised
head. And best OF all, it means per-
feet physical health.

Too often the great weakness il

Too often the great weakness in
temperance work when saloons are
voted out is the absence of some in,
stitution to take their place where
men may drop in for an hour of so
ciability We may all admit that the
saloon as poor mans club" as it
is sometimes termed, does him more
evil than good, yet practically moth
ing takes it's place and that probably
is one reason why in many towns the
saloon is reestablished after a year
or two's experience without them.
To be sure there are public reading
rooms in the larger cities, but these
do not always answer the purpose
for all classes of men.

Is recorded of a prominent European
banker who had to select man for
some delicate and important mission
to this country that he tested sew
eral before he found the right man.
The test was as to promptitude
and readiness. Most of them want

they could sail, but one man was

man selected, and he became lead
ing financier in this country That
is a lesson which many a young man

| Judge H. f. Miller. the present
city attorney, is one Of the old set
tiers of this community and he has
given the subject a great deal Of
thought, and his conclusion is that
prohibition is much better for Fargo
than the liquor traffic "There was
the saloon day" he said. "Of course
we had some fights occasionally
There We're some very fine places on
Broadway, but they have been re
placed by good substantial business
houses and they to my mind are much
better for community than the sa-
loon. Prohibition is much better.

The business man, the people pay
their bills now much better than they
did before prohibition days"

and what's a conservation is a big
question Where liquor seems to
benefit is because the dealer gathers
up the 10 cent pieces and then

some people, but the same 10 cents
